~ Episode 4 ~
"Welcome to Makuto's Emporium. Where I have all that you seek."
"Pealim, what are these?" Pressing his face against a giant tube Samson oggled at the strange creatures. "Can I eat them?"
"I wouldn't suggest it." Spoke the clerk "those are parazines. You don't want to get involved with these beings, they can be dangerous."
"Parazines?"
"I will explain the nature of these Altu Fayli at another moment. Now we are delivering a red letter."
"Alpha or Omega?" Questioned the clerk.
"Omega. Abbott The Omega."
"I believed I recognized the scarlet cloak. Are you not hot?"
"This cloak is breathable; it adjusts to climate and your physical nature." Replied Abbott with a reach into his jacket. "Here's your red letter."
Gazing down at the red letter and golden brand X, Mr. Makuto took the letter with a bow. "I am grateful that I knew no other way to transport this Quintessence into this region."
"I am merely serving my purpose because it was you that set everything in motion." Taking a bow, Abbott wandered around the jungle arena of a shop. Looking beyond weapons, armor, beasts, potions and other items he found his Abhah, face pressed into a cage.
"What is the value of the Mytocopadai?"
"Considering a favor you have done for me I will do one for you. Take her for she is six cycles and in need of agape. Plus the two of them have already built a bond."
Watching the two play through the plexiglass like cage the merchant made the wall separating the two vanish with a wave of his hand. "She's all yours."

~Village of Tumaini Mwasho Part Two~
"Ha…" grabbing hold of his opponent's heart Molmet ripped it out. "Thank you for that moment of hesitation. To think that leaving the vessel would actually cause you to falter." Turning his head with a smirk "Belief maybe that your beloved Joyvie would return. Your attachments caused you your life for that attack surely would've obliterated me." Watching the domain melt away like wax he could hear thunder roaring in the background.
"This is my final service. It's time to open your eyes Tumaini Mwasho." with those words Tia The Mo Mo took her last inhale. Converting all of her energy into a storm. She exhaled causing her domain to fall.
Swooping down and catching the body Molmet grinned menacingly with black smoke rising from his bullnose. "I'm sure this storm is due to the release of your soul but I will take the energy trapped in this vessel for myself."
Locating the village a close mile away with a few thrust of his giant wings he hovered over Tumaini Mwasho.
"The demon is here!" Shouted one of the villagers.
Running outside with their weapons, wails came soaring from all directions "Elder Tia."
"Yes, Lament" said Molmet with a grin. "Seethe in rage, yes allow me to draw from your lower energy." Observing and feeling the emotion of his audience the maestro took it in with long deep breaths. "More!" Tossing the Elder's corpse to the ground a fire went ablaze in his palms. "Now give me true despair." Hurling a stream of flame at the body the demon cackled at the crackling and pop of flesh.
"There we go." Sung Molmet with a deep inhale "But I must produce more distress." Scanning the crowd, a faint energy drew his attention. "Is that an ailment."teleporting from the scene he came back with Joyvie's mother. "Rise Hedrin."
Hollering for only a brief second as her body was set ablaze starting from her heel up until she was entirely engulfed. Simmering down upon reach of her crown the flame began its descent slowly revealing sections of a new demon as it died. "Hedrin, welcome to the third density."

"How is he?" Peering over her shoulder at her six foot brother Nutri shook her head. "His vitals have ceased yet his vortex remains intact."
"Did you give him a shock?" Asked Tecto.
"I have yet no response."
Staring at the frail boy, Tecto studied his freckled face. "Maybe the Elder will have knowledge of his ailment. Until then…"
"Here y'all are." Swishing her eyes from Tecto to Nutri, Ori gaze stayed on her friend. "Is he okay? And why y'all walk so far away?"
"He remains unconscious but is okay and to thoroughly evaluate him without any disturbance.
Watching JunBee for a little longer Ori told them. "Oh okay. The Director says if you are to eat it must be with haste, for the Mitochon shall rise soon."
"Tell him we will be there…" Taking a glance at Nutri the two of them looked at the children.
"Ori, where are Kemp and Alke?" asked Tecto.
"They are amongst the other children at play." Looking at the siblings through squinted eyes, Ori asked, "Where is Tecto?"
"He is going to ensure the safety of your siblings." replied Nutri.
"Why?"
Lunging her arm forth and blocking sharp tiger claws with the turtle shell on her forearm Nutri answered the young lady.
sLowering into a crouch with a whirl of her head Nutri caught two of the Jackal-headed beasts whirling their way from opposite sides while the sounds of hooves thumping the ground alerted her of a third stealthily up on Ori.
Lunging her arm in the direction of the child, ping, Nutri deflected the tiger like claws blocked firing a beam of lightning from her index and middle finger Nutri hit the rhino skinned quint between its shoulder before it could snatch up Ori.
Hmph, hmph, hoof, twitching awake at the scent of blood in the air, JunBee began to jolt. Poof, teleporting over his body one of the rhino horned quints leaned in for the kill.
Wich, slicing through the neck of the beast JunBee rose up and bit into the Quintessence.
"JunBee!"
Slinging his head around at the sound of Ori's voice his light brown eyes went red at sight of elephant headed Quintessence plunging down upon his friend.
Voosh teleporting JunBee body began to transform into the humanoid version of their attackers with one difference; he held the characteristics of both their basic and berserker mode leaving him looking like an elephant eared warthog with two sharp pointed ears on his head and sharp tusks to match the rhino horns sitting on his nose.
Creating a Warhammer with dream magic JunBee pressed his hooved paws into the ground step forth with hooved paws and clenched hold to his weapon tightly with his tiger claws before swinging with all of might with his now bulky muscular nine foot humanoid rhino skinbody.
Boom, boom hitting the beast in the gut then the chin JunBee swirled around and hit it with a finisher taking off its canine-like head.
Crouching low JunBee could sense the fear radiating from his companion. Shifting his body fur grew over the thick skin making him a bit more cuddly. Nuzzling Ori he sent beautiful visions to her ensuring her safety while inducing her into a more dream-like state.
Slicing through her two attackers with blades of water Nutri body flowed like that of a ballerina releasing crescent blades with every kick, turn, and swing until her aggressors were minced meat.
Slinging his gaze over to the green and turquoise turtle skinned woman, poof, he teleported.
Woof, weaving tiger-like claws the Inkan slung her arm forth. Voom releasing waves of vibration out of her palm she sent JunBee sliding backwards.
"JunBee! No!"
Crouching to attack again the young boy's giant eyes swished from both females before a howl escaped his throat. Walking over to one of the dead Quintessence he fell to all fours and commenced to devour the creature until he met his fill.
Converting to his human form after his meal, JunBee wobbled over to Ori. Halting halfway he gazed down at his blood soaked body.
"It's okay." Walking towards him slowly, arms outstretched,
she gave him a hug.
