I sat down to play a game with Azibo as he set up the board. It felt normal just moving from the city to the village. There was still a weirdness to it.
“What was your life like in the city?” Azibo asked.
I shrugged. “Not much to tell. I grew up fighting in the streets. Omarion and me teamed up to survive.

“What happened next?” Azibo asked.
I smiled. “We grew up. Got jobs in the security forces and partnered together because no one else trusts Roins. We worked good together and decided to start out own pack sense everyone already thought of us as brothers we became brothers officially with the help of a silent sponsor who acted as our official pack mother.”

I frowned as I thought about what happened next. “Things went to shit after couple of years right when Omarion was set to be promoted to the executive class. It was my fault.. I cost us our jobs by failing to show up for an important job and then I fucked him over when I tried to use the name of our silent third member of our pack to get us out of it.”

Omarion took all the heat for me and spent a year in the Pin with hard labor in the diamond mines. When he got out I didn’t know how he would greet me. I just showed up to give him some credits and my car.

Omarion just hugged me and asked me to him to get him some work to do. He’s never mentioned that time again but I promised myself I would always be there for him.”
Azibo smiled. “You have a question for me. Ask it.”
“So why did you change me into an elemental alien?”
Azibo shook his head. “You are what you are. There is no dragon that can change mortals into what we are.”
“So you knew-” I stopped because Azibo shook his head.
“No. We do not have absolute knowledge. We are different from the mortals but not better. Show me. Your days in the city.”
I thought of my childhood and youth growing up in the city.

I stopped. “You said my mother took me from you. I have to ask. Am I really your son or was that some alien bullshit metaphor so-“
“Largo.” Azibo said patiently. “Do you believe Ren’s relationship with Lightning baby is metaphorical?! Do you really think they do not have sex?!” He said and then grinned at me. “You are still so very young and adorable.”
I could feel my face burning in embarrassment. Damn. “Okay so then why do I look like-“
“You look fine. You look as you should. These forms we have are clothing for us Largo. Nothing more. You have time. You are only days old by our lifespan. What gifts have you brought back from the city?” Azibo asked.
I sighed as I got up and stood in the middle of village and snapped my fingers.

Azibo frowned at the solar panels. “What are those?”
I smiled. “I plan on upgrading the village a little. So you and the villagers can least stay up to date on the goings on in the dream realm.”
