Ias entered metasynth on an odd feeling the feeling that he associated with metasynth. A feeling of mystery of an unknown feeling creeping upon him from all directions. He found himself moving along a path enshrouded in haze the limbs and leaves of trees sticking out over the path above him but endowed in a gray white hue that made them seem ghostly to Ias. He followed this path for when he stopped the path behind him dissapeared and when he tried to move off the path nothing was there to step onto. He found himself at a building moreso housing a staircase. In the haze the building seemed as eerie as the limbs of the trees to him. He came up to the staircase just inside the doorway and saw it descended into more haze unbearable to see since it was moreso to the unknown. Ias felt himself backing away from the entrance, where was this going where was it taking him. Metasynth always seemed surreal and really under reality as it was in conception he knew. The only thing which was accomplished in metasynth was everything the only downside in metasynth was time. Too much time and one lost body and drifted forever as a masprit the most powerful but the most pitiful ascended form. Ias stopped and took a look at the stairwell he mustered up some courage inside of him and shot down the stairwell seeing the passageway flowing by him and the nothingness and haze he felt he was floating drifting through space. All down down till finally ground floor stone it was all stone. The passageway continued but had lights to the far end illuminating another room and something there he couldn't see it the haze still hung. Carefully quietly slowly he found his way to the end of the passage to the room. Very grand indeed he thought it was high and wide in fact it seemed to go along forever and fade into the distance. The light seemed to come from all around from unknown sources even through the haze it felt like early morning to him when the fog is cut by the sun.
Something was there, what was it? Ias got closer to it and closer till he was right before it. The haze clouded it even close up but suddenly cleared around it. Sleeping dragon about human size, it was quite fat and as it slept it's belly hung out like water pouring into some sack.
The thing got up abruptly and tackled Ias knocking him down. It held him down with good force but it's expression seemed non-threatening to Ias almost a freindliness and much more. Indeed it stared closer down into Ias's eyes seeming to Ias to be looking back into his mind he found he couldn't unlock the gaze and found himself staring into the eyes of the dragon to an inner mystery of it's mind as well. The creature put belly to Ias's shirt, no, he thought he wore a shirt, now he was bare the creature lowered inself and brought it's talons, arms, and legs around Ias in an embrace warm embrace a gentle embrace. Ias found this awkward but right though somehow really right in fact he liked the embrace the look in the dragon's eyes an interest to him and he to it a sort of desire to know the mystery of the dragon, to feel it upon him, all upon him. Also there was a pull a pull of him toward the other and affection caused by the curiousity into the creatures mystery. He found he liked it, no, he loved it. He submitted to it even bringing his arms around it's midsection touching the creature's belly stroking it there he was drawn to that part, he had always been drawn to it. Gentle was it's touch on him though not abrupt anymore just there and then into him. Ias wanted to kick back but the creature was actually merging with him becoming him uniting flesh to flesh belly to belly arm to arm leg to leg and finally his head started to merge with the dragons.
Ias woke up with a gasp. It was real was it he grasped around for the creature but didn't find it there. He found he had an urge for it a longing to embrace with it even to combine with it, sexually and intimately. It was there.
"Ah fug!" Depressing almost the realization was. He suddenly noticed that a haze was still throughout his room, he tried to tune it out since he thought he was in metasynth but it stayed. It was real, the dream mustof made him create it. He couldn't see the room but he wanted to leave it as a reminder of the dream in the morning. So, Ias slipped back into a slightly uneasy yet dissapointed sleep. He hoped though that he would be able to have the dream again.
Ias woke again and the haze was gone but he did remember the dream very clearly. Precauciously he went into real metasynth. The room the ceiling started to blurr out and everything seemed to blend into a shade of white quite bright but not too bright to hurt his eyes. He concentrated and tried to remember the dream and all at once the scene broke and became hazy just like the dream, the path the trees the building the stairs the passage to the room and the room itself all in good order the dragon was fogged out almost not there except for an outline. Too bad he would have to try again later. Coming out of Metasynth he immediatly felt torn in half and a fatigue like he'd just been doing some joggin outside. Usual he was used to this and focused on his breathing and calmed his mind down. After calming down he stood up and looked around. The sun came in the windows of the study from the far side from between three sets of shelves of books on the far wall and across his wooden desk. Light from the two windows at the foot and head of his bed sent their own light. To the left of the desk two more windows were set equidistant from each other with three bookcases beside and inbetween the windows like the far wall. They also cast light on the desk, this was what Ias intended when he set the room up so he could go through the day without worrying about light provided the sky wasn't overcast.
Right to his desk Ias went first like every morning. It was quite large an almost complete circular desk with drawers below the top surface of a shiny polished wood. The side facing his bed had a swinging door about thigh level which Ias passed. The desk and sat in the swivel chair in the middle. He sat down and opened the nearest drawer to the swinging door. A stack of paper and an ink wells and quills were contained within. Ias drew out a few bits of paper, an ink well, and a pen and dipping the quill in the ink well began to write. He wrote mostly about his ordeal and the dream first calmly then frantically. He did really like what he dreamed about it hit his fetish and interests and dreams quite neatly on the mark. He became intuned into his writing and found he wanted it more and more again. Finishing he blew air lightly on the page to let it dry and putting the ink well and quill pen aside he looked at what he wrote. Quite frantically scratched part of it that it became harder to read but Ias made it out pretty good. He sat back and his imagination started running. He imagined himself there embraced with the dragon his dick right inside her place pushing lightly back and forth over the nice slick hole and feeling sensations beautiful sensations. He felt his mind and body sated both looking into the creatures eyes and suddenly combine with it combining and coming mind to mind belly to belly. Yes, belly. In his imagination he stopped combing and moved himself to look at the creatures belly. Plump as it was like a ball almost or a small grassy hill. Green covered with scales it was overlapping with the fat on it rolling almost like waves on a sea. Glistening Ias brought his hands and stroked the creature there, all as smooth as he thought it would be. The movement of his hand sent shockwaves almost like shock pools on water. He moved his hands and clutched the mass lightly it was like clutching bread dough or any dough like touching a smooth water filled sack. He loved this and found himself hugging it drawing his face and rubbing in the cool yet warm mass the dragon gave a drawn out low hiss Ias perceived as satisfaction and looking it had it's face up turned eyes closed and mouth slightly open toungue hanging out its teeth. It brought it's hands up and moved them across it's belly it self resting across it. Ias had stopped when it did this but the dragon brought his hands back on it's belly and had him move them around again slowly very slowly Ias wondered, the creature must love this. Ias did love it himself but the creature did as well. He started to move into a full embrace with the creature...
Ias broke out of his trance to the crackle of thunder. He looked around his desk and room. A wind had stirred through the room and... Ias gave a cry and he saw his paper he had written on fly out the window with many other papers. The wind picked up and rain started flowing in in turrents making the floor before the windows rain slicked in a matter of minutes. Flashes of lightning and cracks of thunder abruptly seemed to break everything. Ias frantically went to metasynth and saw that many specks of individual light not very big specks in and of themselves were grouped together outside flowing in and out combining to form a bright light outside. The study itself had specks variously dispersed and grouped around the room but the major portion was in outside. It was definitely created by some competant yet formidable force. Ias went to the window and indeed it was much brighter outside in around the clouds of the storms and the crystons moved around and around. Ias focused his mind on there and darker colored specks of light lept of him in streams and caused the crystons in the sky to disperse in every direction in a shower all over. Stepping back out of metasynth quickly he saw that indeed the storm had stopped and the sky was clear and the sun dominated midsky radiating upon the mountain side and passes down below. Ias looked down seeing the familiar sight of a small blue line down in between the mountains, the Belone river it was called. The ordeal of being in metasynth for even that long made him a little tired as it usually did so Ias layed down for a bit. He dreamed this time oddly of being in metasynth again. He moved some crystons around and formed an outline of some thing. Then he found himself filling in the details and soon saw a form a shape of a belly, a dragons belly to be exact on the ground sagging with belly button and all almost like a water filled giant sack again. The belly itself was of his size but he didn't move to touch it oh how he wanted to. He moved away and turned around suddenly there was a giant indigo scaled dragon there and it opened its mouth up and started to come down at Ias. He woke up sitting up with a gasp. The day was quite gone and outside the horizon glowed a low color and the stars were really the only other source of light. Ias went to metasynth and culled up some crystons around the room in groups and concentrated them to become brighter the gray crystons came from his person again and made crystons gather up around the room in even groups. The result when he came out of metasynth was an glow of light around the room enough to see the desk and where he was going. He went to the desk and got out more paper from the drawer. Quicker and more frantic than before he rewrote what he could remember of his dream earlier this morning and included details of his fancy after that and the dream he just had. He entered metasynth quickly and conentrated his mind on the paper especially around the description of the dragon and filled the rest of the details around the description. He was going to have the dragon one way or another, no storm could stop him this time. He wanted it he wanted to have it mind and body combined in intimacy and sex and combined physically the thoughts burned in him. Sparkling crystons came out from him and alighted around the words of the paper he'd concentrated on and then the words were gone. Coming out of metasynth he saw the words dancing around the room and fliting in and out of the window like carefree birds. Abruptly they all started combining together into a form. The form then became an outline of a thing and as the details filled in a long snout body was fat though quite fat and Ias had to restrain himself from going over to it. Eyes teeth horns head neck legs tail underside filled out even more. It stood there looking at him fully aware and seemingly not pleased. It snared at Ias but Ias was more focused at it's abdomen.
"Yes, one in many could stare at that and not take it in," He commented but the dragon leapt on him squarly knocking him down and started pushing it's body against him. Ias expected his dream to come true and surrendered himself but then he felt tenseness and not the softness he expected of the creature upon him and then it's teeth. He snapped out of it quick and felt pain in his neck as the creature bit squarely into him. He moved his hands in a panicked frenzy to push the creature away but it didn't work but he tried again to no avail. The pain was numbing him and was just unbearable, the creature was clamping down into his neck and he could feel his blood gushing out of him and his life fading. He started to become drowsy but it wasn't metasynth. He suddenly felt himself snap back out of his drowsyness but this time he concentrated the last threat of his will on metasynth and finally felt himself enter it and the scene blurred again but the dragon slowed down with his clamping down. Ias still felt the effects of the pain but there were more magnified and made him writhe in pain due to it. He was still clamped in the dragon's maw lying there.
Instead of just focusing and using his mind in metasynth to do something he just shouted, "Away! Away!" from his sliced up voice box. The result was that the dragon released him and was knocked completely backwards.
Ias stood up and touched his neck feeling the blood slowly oozing out. He focused on those wounds and he saw crystons off himself gather around his wounded neck. Then he was healed.
He turned on the dragon and felt a knawing in his stomach and a sort of tension but his true feelings were mixed about the creature. Was it supposed to like him, he didn't wish to will it to like him in the event but he found himself being a bit saddened.
The dragon seemed to be somewhat taken aback but like any animal that is angered it wasn't about to be stopped so after shaking the effects of Ias's magic, it jumped right back at him but Ias was ready summoning his powers to him he transcended dissapearing and reappearing behind the creature.
The dragon stood there for a moment and Ias guessed it was dumbfounded but his disappearance but it started moving it's head and when it looked behind itself it immediatly spun with a speed that marveled Ias and tried leaping upon him. Ias was starting to become frustrated and despaired since his dream wasn't coming true. He let the dragon tackle him but this time pleaded with him.
"I don't know how you can be angry. I've just made you, with my own power and this is how you show it, you'd rather rip me apart!"
The creature did nothing in response but quickly started to break him but Ias moved and dissapeared again but this time he floated a little right before the creature to meet it's height and this time shouted at the creature.
"If you don't start behaving and showing a little respect I am going to make your life a living hell. I'm going to make you regret I even created you!"
The dragon leapt at him and Ias dissapeared again but Ias was starting to feel a greater knawing at his stomach and this made him feel a little despaired so he faced the creature and then he had his solution, he'd just forgot to talk to the creature in it's own tongue. How else was it going to understand him? This in mind then he adjusted his voice and the creature's voice to be understandable by them both. Then he moved out of the way as the creature leapt at him and had a proposal to give to the creature and as it turned to find him he spoke to pledingly at first but ending up in angry tone shaking his fist at the creature.
"If you will stop this I will give you anything, anything... but if you don't I am going to near kill you!"
It stopped this time and tilted it's head a bit to it's side. Ias's hopes raised, he had finally been understood. But abruptly the creature leapt at him again snarling but before it reached him Ias struck it with a bolt of magic and angrily moved on it as it staggered backwards from the hit.
"Burn!!" A bolt of fire leapt of his hand and hit the creature full square on it's startled chest. It doubled over and clutched it's chest screeching so loud Ias had to near cover it's ears. Ias, though, was overcome with a pity with what he'd done so he moved to the creature and at first had to watch himself getting hit but the dragon. About near death from the screetches of the creature he got his hand in quickly and touched the wound healing it and backing away quickly. The response from the creature was quicker than Ias expectly as it righted itself and felt it's chest. Then it turned to Ias and regarded him staring at him through tensed diamond shaped eyes. Ias stared at those and was takin' in by them, they were so beautiful to him. He saw even further into the creature the fear it now felt toward him and the knawing in his stomach was back.
"Now now, don't fear me! I was fed up, you were attacking me with basically no reason."
He spoke that gently and found himself moving a little by little toward the creature speaking, "Now don't fret, I created you for a reason off of a dream I had. You loved me there. I wouldn't kill you because of that. I appreciate you so much dear dragon for the dream you gave me. I implore you. I implore you. Don't be afraid, I wish to right the wrongs. Please trust me, please."
He was right before the creature about level with it's eyesight and he reached out to touch the creatures head and succeded. Then he concentrated and soothed the creature's mind and brought his other arm around the creatures neck and embraced it there.
"Who are you?" The creature hissed gently.
"Ias, and you?"
The creature did not respond so Ias looked up at it.
"I don't know, I've not had a name," The dragon replied.
"Surely..." but Ias knew that the creature was not created with a name in mind. "What would you like to be called?"
The dragon looked at him for a moment, "You choose. You created me."
Ias wondered why the creature could not choose a name. It was a prerequisite to give his creatures their own will, it wasn't much of a choice otherwise. Ias figured to give the creature a name to fit it's pot belliedness, "Sidge."
"Okay, then Sidge I am," The creature replied.
"Well..." Ias got his mode back into working as was his way of keeping dilligent with the task at hand, "I promised you anything you would want. I usually give my creations their own wish granted. What is you request of me?"
Sidge looked away outside one of the windows and then around the room and seemed to Ias to be preoccupied in thought. Sidge looked back at him abruptly and spoke, "I... do not know of a request... I don't know this world. It is quite a nervous experience being thrust into reality as it is here."
Ias knew what was coming and his answer stuck in his throat and he fought himself to withold it, the creature wanted to explore. Some of his creations left without even requesting this so naturally Ias witheld the wish. Still others stayed around hardly wondering very far, Primeon itself was large enough to accomodate a large medley of creatues. Yet he had that dream with Sidge. He wanted ultimately to embrace with him and even to combine with him. Though he wasn't sure as in his dream he didn't want to completely combine. If he let Sidge go then he might never return and the chance would probably be lost. Would he return? Ias could feel himself breaking down his mind to despair. He could feel that he might even shed a few tears over it.
"Maybe you can ask me later when you know more of this world. I have a library and I would teach you to read humanspeak if you like. You can also talk with the others."
"Others?"
"Yes. They dwell here with me, they did not wish to leave as many others have so I guess they are somewhat my familiars. Many are quite loyal."
Sidge nodded and paused for a moment, "What of out there?"
There is was, Ias almost cursed out loud. But if he wished it... How Ias wished he wouldn't request it, would he deny it? Would he refuse it? Yes, yes, he decided he might...
Sidge met Ias's gaze and Ias did him and for a moment they both said nothing.
"Maybe here's as good a place as any."
Ias sighed, there was still a chance still a possibility that the creature may come to furfill his dream.
"Then we shall move around this place. But since you are so big we can't possibly fit on the lift. So, I will transport us around by whim. Thus I will tour you of my fortress starting here. Then we will move to the library and finally to the lower levels to visit the others." Ias moved to the other side of his study and moved his arm to indicate the floor and ceiling, "This is my study, I am usually here writing on my desk there and I've created most of my creatures here."
"Okay," Sidge replied.
Ias smiled trying to keep his hope but he observed Sidge had a blank expression. Not a good start out. Hopefully it would improve. Oh, he hoped it would.
"Okay, so a shift of scenery."
The scene did shift as Ias said this till they now stood in a six pillared room spaced evenly apart and along the walls there were shelves stuffed full of books and the shelves went hight into a vaulted ceiling and in the pillars even some openings were carved and books rested in them. At the foot of each pillar at each sidge there was a small desk. Light was provided by floated orbs of light evenly spaced all around which gave the room an even flow of light as a result.
Ias looked at Sidge and saw a glimmer of what looked like amusement but he started his explaination before sidge could look to see him watching him, "This is the library of mine but I didn't write all these works. Most are by offworld authors and which I had a copy of. Others are composed by some of the others."
Sidge nodded still looking around. Ias shook his head slightly making careful that sidge didn't see, Dragons were hard to impress.
"Onward..."
The scenery shifted again to a new area that was spread out and had different lairs and places that looked to be beds for different kinds of creatures all through it, some barried of from each other whiles others were full open.
As they came into focus with the chamber a whole medley of differing creatures came off the beds and abodes to stand in view of them. Then a little creature came to Ias, it was a mouse like creature smaller than the size of Ias's hand. Ias smiled his warmest at the creature feeling a little easier in his impression of Sidge and picked up the creature. It was indeed mouselike but wasn't indeed it was like a cross between a dragon and a mouse. It had horns and it's snout was longer shaped. on it's sides it had scales and it's hind legs were hinged and shaped as a dragons, scaly, but otherwise it's front paws, belly and back were covered in a creamy brown colored fir. Finally it's tail was half scaled at the top and half skin on the bottom ending in a small dart shape at it's tip. It gave a small squeak and ran up Ias's arm and came to his shoulder.
"This is Redalis. She's a bit shy of those she isn't familiar with," Ias told sidge and indeed the creature kept close to Ias and tried to stay out of Sidge's sight.
Ias indicated a creature in the back, probably one of the larger ones of the lot being about the same size as sidge. It covered in white fur and had an overall oval shape to it. It seemed to be crossed between a ram, a dragon, a human, and several other mixes because it had curly horns over pointed ears on an oval head with a near non existant snout, it's eyes were a diamond blue, and a slightly slender body with a long neck and leathery white wings off it's shoulders, which stood upright. It's arms like a human's with it's hands were five digits but of talons and it's haunches and legs were near human and a little larger than it's arms and it's feet were hooved. Then it's tail which looked like a thin whip.
"Come on Nellms, you can come here." The creature obeyed moving through the throng and came before Ias eyeing sidge the whole way with a skeptical look.
Ias saw that sidge didn't take that very well so he continued, "Hey, where's my two dwardras!"
Two creatures about a quarter size of size came bounding up and to Ias nearly knocking him over and slithered around his legs and looked up expectantly. Ias conjured up a few pieces of meat and fed the minature dragons. They were in every detail close to Ias and indeed were small dragons.
Ias indicated one of the ones that was slimmer than the other before the other, "Zeck and Slas."
Sidge looked a little better so Ias continued on, "Then there's Vigaush." At his words a serpent like bird flew up to Ias's free shoulder and nipped at his ear before moving to look around his shoulder. The creature was indeed dragon shaped but also had a falcon look to him. The result was a sleek, long, lithe, and shiny looking bird the size of a falcon with tail feathers and a dragon's tail underneath. It's beak was a little longer and it had small horns spouted from the top of it's head.
Vigaush caught sight of Redalis and tried to get her but she dissapeared and reappeared at his feet. Vigaush then dived at her but she dissapeared again and reappeared before the crowd of creatures scurrying away between them. Vigaush thus gave chase.
Ias chuckled and went back to his group. He eyed one of his creatures that had half the body of a grizzly bear and seemed to be slightly crossed with nellms having the top of it's body a dragon with wings, it's head was longer than nellms having a mid-sized almost canine snout with oval shaped eyes diamond in the middle, it's horns curled but not as curled over it's pointed ears. It's neck, shoulders, and wings were closely similar.
"That is Elaejia and that's all them that I have here. Not many have wanted to stay and some others stayed but eventually took leave..." Ias trailed off and looked at sidge for a moment before looking away at Nellms that was standing there.
'What do you think of him?' Ias thought-asked Nellms and smiled as Nellms look at him wide eyed.
'Fat and quiet Ias. What are you up two?' Nellms smiled as he thought the last bit to Ias.
Ias tried to look innocent but ended up smiling and then thoughtcast his memory of his dream to Nellms. In response Nellms gave a start and covered his face, sniggering, trying not to let Sidge see who was starting to look their way again.
'You didn't give him . . . ' Ias and Nellms both looked at Elaejia as she joined in the telecast.
'No, Elaejia, He doesn't have telepathy.' Ias thought to them both.
'It would be nice of you . . .' Elaejia thoughtcast seriously.
'Why not?' This time they looked at Slas as she thoughtcast it.
'Zeck, What do you think?' Ias sighed with the thought.
Zeck lazily looked up and gave a dragonish smile thoughcasting, 'Why not?'
'Well. He will probably want to go, you've observed it,' Ias let his longing trail along with the thought.
'You must let him decide.' Elaejia thoughtcast.
'I must . . .' Ias trailed off half not wanting to face it but Redalis came scurrying back and onto Ias's foot as Vigaush came flying after him. 'Would you two stop it?!'
'Please, Vigaush,' Redalis thoughtsqueaked.
'Damn it!' Vigaush thought squeaked landing on his shoulder again and Ias bent to pick up Redalis.
'What about a tour?' Ias thoughcast slowly as he came back up knowing full well what it would do.
'No no no' Redalis thought squeaked clenching it's claws into ias skin so hard it drew blood.
'Now Redalis, Ias would keep you in his robe.' Slas thoughtcasted.
'ooooo okay...' Redalis thoughtcasted but still shivered on Ias's hand.
'I love it, I love it.' Vigaush thought squawked swaying from side to side on Ias's shoulder.
The rest of them were in agreement so Ias turned to Sidge, "Now how about we go out and see the world?"
"The world?" Sidge looked at him head tilted to his side.
"Yes, outside of Primeon here. What you saw outside my windows?"
Sidge looked at Ias and the others who were turned to him.
"Can you fly?" Nellms hissed at Sidge.
'Fffflllllyyyy!? Ffffllllyyyy!!?' Redalis thought squeaked so high it was almost a screech and scurried up Ias's arm and hid right beside his neck.
"Can I?" Sidge hissed back at Nellms.
'No he can't. He doesn't even know what his wings are.' Elaejia thought hissed at Nellms.
"No no. We will walk around and take a hike to the forest and back. We'll get to his flight later."
'Three days, Ias. Three days walk.' Slas thought complained.
'Oh why to the forest?' Zeck thought asked.
'Sheesh... I'll carry you if you can't make it,' Ias thought cast to Zeck and Slas.
'Three days. Three days.' Vigaush thought sung.
Sidge looked at them a little longer and said, "I guess so."
"Good." Ias replied and thoughtcast to the rest, 'I will meet you outside the gate in a little while. Gather up whatever you wish to take.'
Vigaush took flight of his shoulder and Ias moved Sidge and him back to the study, "What do you think?"
"They are interesting."
"Ah..." Ias did wonder now why indeed he considered Sidge much higher than the others, he had been. Why did he want so much to be with him and to furfill his dream?
'Maybe you love him.' Redalis thoughtcast to Ias startling him and Ias shrugged slightly feeling Redalis still curled close to his neck.
'Maybe', Ias thought.
'Shouldn't pressure him, Ias.' Redalis replied.
'Yeah,' Ias said and spoke again to sidge,
"Well, just a minute Sidge while I get ready," He moved to his desk and opened the door to move inside and reached inside a compartment just inside and brought out his cloak.
Redalis scurried down his arm and on to his desk and Ias donned his robe of a red color with gold embroidery along the edges and gold clasps to hold it together. Toward the bottom was a large pocket and stitching from that which was a trail for Redalis to come to a top pocket and look out. Then inside the robe was a few pockets for various things which Ias reached in and reaffirmed were pencils and paper. Clasping the robe together Ias got Redalis and put him inside the bottom pocket and zipped it up. Immediately Redalis scurried up the inner channel and peaked out the top pocket.
They met the others in the foyer that was very closely structured to the library, having six pillars, just not books and shelves. The gate itself was double stone and had two ring handles and metal hinges. Ias pulled open one door of the gate and they moved out into a giant cavern where behind where they just came out was a wall of stone. The cavern narrowed at the far end and tunneled into a far light. They proceeded down this length.
'Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it isn't really worth it. I mean I've created many things and I have you guys,' Ias thoughtcast to all but sidge.
'Maybe, Ias. I mean I don't really know, it's your move but if you ask my opinion, I'd say leave it if you are truely okay with it,' Elaejia thought told Ias.
Ias shrugged taking a little down, 'Yeah. I've created so many. I feel the story has been written too many times on you and me. We've been around several lifetimes. Yet I for one, I think i'm a little tired of just creating.'
'No, Ias, You shouldn't stop creating. It's what you do. Don't give it up.' Slas thought pleaded.
'Oh no, Slas. I wasn't really suggesting that I was going to give up my creation stratem...' Ias consoled Slas.
'You shouldn't let other matters pressure you so,' Nellms thought cast.
'Maybe i'll give Sidge temporary telepathy,' Ias thoughtcast looking down.
'You're avoiding the situation, Ias,' Zeck lazycast at Ias.
'Any creature I create. I've created hundreds upon thousands some off of what I've seen yet inhanced. Others are new to my eyes in form or variation. I mean you Vigaush are a bird that is shaped somewhat as a dragon is,' Ias thoughtcast.
'Yeah, you have mostly dragon variants with you. Why is it you need another to stay,' Nellms commented.
'Yeah, that is amusing. Show us that dream again,' Elaejia thoughtcast.
Ias surrendered the memory of the dream once again to them.
Slas slithered slightly against his leg, 'Your fetishes and a dream with a fat dragon. Ha!'
The dream did make Ias look at Sidge's swaying jiggling pot belly.
'One wants more. One wants more. I trust you've tried recreating the dream to yourself,' Elaejia thoughtcast.
'Yes but It doesn't do well. I don't surrender to it. It's nice to placify but I can't surrender to them they're not real,' Ias thoughtcast hanging his head.
Nobody thoughtcast anything for a while and they finally came to the end of the tunnel and broke into a foggy daytime of a small gully between mountain. A river cut through the gully ahead of them and a path went from the entrance to the tunnel and off to their right between two mountains there. The sun was mostly kept out from the fog of the mountain gully.
They oriented themselves and moved down the path that went ahead to the end of the gully and through the pass between the mountains.
'You've told him,' Redalis thoughtquestioned from her pocket.
'No,' Ias thoughtcast.
'Do it then. Give him the telepathy and show him the dream,' Elaejia thoughtcast.
Ias felt embarassed for some reason now. Giving Sidge the dream just made his stomach turn in knots.
'We'll be here. Do it...' Elaejia thoughtwhispered.
Ias went up to sidge and stepped in front of him and Sidge stopped. Before he knew what he was doing Ias put his arms around the creature's neck and brought his head down taking a hand and putting it on his head. Feeling a tension in his heart Ias did it giving Sidge the telepathy and dispatching taking a step back to look.
'Sidge can hear, Sidge can hear,' Vigaush chanted.
Sidge looked bewildered and his first thoughtcast was drawn out, 'wwwwhhhhaaat...'
'Think normally to us,' Elaejia beat Ias at the thoughtcast.
'This is what...' Sidge started to thoughtcast.
'Yes, this is what.' Redalis thoughtcast.
Sidge thoughtlaughed.
'Be careful what you send out,' Nellms thoughtcast.
Sidge didn't thoughtcast anything else so Ias took the opportunity and thoughtcast the memory of the dream to Sidge, 'This is why.'
Sidge look wide eyed at Ias for a while after he thoughtcast it, 'That is why...'

They continued on at a slow steady pace through the mountain pass following it for three days until they reached the edge of the forest. Then they made the trek back. None of them hardly thoughtcast anything on the way there and back.
Upon returning, Sidge requested to see the library and to look at the books. Ias had the books accessible through telepathy and though he half didn't want to do it he took his leave. The others were in his study waiting for him. Ias took off his robe and put it in the desk again and Redalis scurried onto the desk. For a while they didn't even thoughtcast a thing.
'I agree, he wants to go away,' Redalis thoughtcast.
'What?' Ias thoughtcast looking at the dragon mouse.
'Eventually he would,' Elaejia thoughtcast to them.
'He'll probably want released within' the week, that's how it went with others like him,' Nellms thoughtcast.
"Maybe you all should go with him!"
Ias was startled by the statement and looked around to find the origin. A Ghostly figure appeared lounging in his chair his feet propped up on his desk and his hands behinds his head elvows out, it had long hair and wore a tunic and trousers all bleach white. Ias came up to him and smiled putting his hands to his hips, 'bout time you visited Sko.'
Sko stood up and floated above the desk coasting through the air and back down beside Ias, "See that's what I'm talking about. You fools need to get away and totally let yourself be released. Either way, a release, of full proportions."
"We already took an excursion," Ias told Sko.
"Around here? No, you must have an excursion away from yourselves. You must free your minds up. You are all so blank faced. You must let yourselves go sometimes," Sko explained.
'What does he mean?' Nellms thought questioned.
Sko turned to Ias and his smiled was quite uncanny, "Ias already told you."
Nellms went wide eyed, 'but that...'
"An excursion?" Ias questioned Sko.
"First things first. You had that dream and at it's end you began combining with your precious Sidge?" Sko asked Ias turning to him.
"Yes," Ias replied not a bit surprised he knew about it.
"The dream is not a dream but a reality. Alvin Abernous..." Sko stopped and abruptly stared off into space. Then he was gone.
"Shoot I hate when he does that!" Ias snapped.
'Alvin Abernous...' Elaejia echoed.
'I don't know about that... he got cut out before going on. I'm still confounded to what he meant before with the 'excurion',' Nellms thoughtcast.
'Yeah. I mean it's as if he wanted us to...' Elaejia started but stole a glance at Nellms.
"Yeah, like you haven't done it," Ias goated Nellms and Elaejia with a smirk.
'He must've meant the combining but how are we supposed to, I mean me with anyone of you. I'd get smashed,' Redalis thoughtsqueaked.
"Wait a minute! It might be possible. Maybe you two, Nellms and Elaejia, have you noticed any combination when you are at it," Ias said.
Nellms and Elaejia both tried to evade their gaze but Elaejia thoughtreplied, 'No.'
'Wait! It was at a magical standpoint,' Zeck lazily thoughtcast.
'That's right, in Ias's dream it was with magical auras he combined,' Redalis pointed out.
'But I can combine any of you with me or with each other, I am your creator,' Ias thought told them.
'You can?' They all turned and thoughtcast to him at once.
Ias realized what he was saying and the abruptness of it hit him, 'It... he is... he is..."
"An Eliuser," Sko said reappearing.
"Wh... why why didn't you tell me?" Ias stammered.
"Now you all realize it, but I've always been suprised why you as Ias's creation never could figure out that he could use his will on you. He, like all of the elders don't directly manipulate will; we don't command that each and every creation do what we wish like puppets. We may demand but you have the choice. Believe me, we've done it. It is entertaining to have something follow you along like a baby duck but it does get, for lack of a better word, lame after some time." Sko explained moving around and looking each of Ias's creations in the eye.
"But... Alvin isssa'...?" Ias rasped.
"Eliuser. Obviously you didn't think you were the only one, Ias?" Sko asked him.
Ias did he admitted but to no one, he knew though that Sko could perceive his thoughts.
"See, you guys have a very generous creator. I would be much more respectful from now on," Sko told the others.
"What?! You think they're not subserviant sko?!" Ias snapped.
"Yeah, I do. So, the next time Ias tells you off a dream so full of desire as he must have, you'd be nice to offer to furfill his desires." Sko dictated to the others.
Ias near struck out at Sko, "Sko if I ever get higher than you..."
"You'll cast me into the lowest level of torment, I get it all the time." Sko finished Ias's phrase turning to him.
Ias looked at Sko for a moment then he heard Sko thoughtcasting to him, 'Ias, If you want it, I mean, if you really want sidge then you will get him. You just need to try. Even if it was lust that came from a dream you can furfill it here in reality. But if you really are interested in learning more about Alvin, why don't you go to him yourself. He's on Abelbi at current. You have leave to go there from me and the elders for a real excursion because, frankly, the elders are worried about you. You are still human, Ias. You need to take breaks from this world to. Nay, you need a much larger break, you've been here for several lifetimes.
'I will say it again but for your creations and you in general. The ones that are with you, they appreciated you enough to stay with you. I have to commend on you furfilling their basic needs. You are an accomplished keeper of living creations.'
'So many have left me,' Ias thoughtcast feeling remorse at the thought.
'There will be some and there will be others. Re-create them, there's no harm in that but I've no complaints at how you grant what they wish. I mean you'd even make them as powerful as you which isn't really as powerful as you, tis' almost a parody,' Sko told Ias who nodded.
Suddenly, though, Ias had it, 'Silly me, that I've thought of it now. They could help me with creating.'
'That's the spirit. But remember and this is wisdom that i've learned from the elders. 'If you want to be close with them you must be quite involved with them. Yet, they will want to be close to you. Cherish the time you have with your creations.' I mean they are transcendant and they have to know the life and death of their creations. Only other secondary forms that were once creations can really always be with them,' Sko instructed Ias.
'They are far away at times though.' Ias thoughtsaid.
'They have their ways. With all my time there I'm not sure I understand it. They want to be with us but they can be nothing but. Maybe one is not close to them because the one is not transcendant or mayhap the one does not wish to be with them.' Sko surrendered.
'Thanks Sko,' Ias told him and clutched him on his shoulder with a smile and a wink.
Sko turned to the others, "Now. See ya'." Then he was gone.
Ias went over to the nearest window and stared at the horizon for a little while then he turned back to the others who had not moved much but followed Ias's movements.
"Oh, what are you looking at!" Ias said making them jump. He went to his desk and sat down with a sigh in his seat and rested his head upon his fist and his elbow on the desk. He didn't look at them for a little bit but finally said, "I have it... but firstly, what haven't I granted of you all?"
The other looked at each other. 'Redalis,' thought squawked.
'What?! No!' Redalis thoughtsqueaked and hopped onto Ias lap shivering.
"It would go against Redalis's wishes but... If it's Redalis you want then you will get him," Ias told Vigaush who had now landed on the edge of his desk.
'No! No!!' Redalis gave a high pitched thoughtsqueak.
"Don't worry I won't give the real you up," Ias whispered to Redalis who started to flee him. Ias covered redalis up and held out his hand and Redalis appeared there. When Ias removed his hand Redalis was also still on Ias's lap. He then gave Vigaush the cloned Redalis who immediately began squeaking in terror but Ias held him fast until Vigaush snapped him up in his beak and flew away.
Redalis continued shivering and thoughtstammered, 'I just want to not have to keep running away from vigaush.'
'Maybe I could make you able to grow or make you the same size as him,' Ias thoughtsaid.
Redalis shivered again, 'Oooo... the same size...'
'Do you like your size?' Ias thoughtasked.
Redalis didn't answer so Ias thoughtsaid, 'Alright.'
'No. I'm small,' Redalis abruptly thoughtcast.
Ias took a shivering Redalis who clenched to him when he picked her up and put her on the desk, "I think a giant mouse is in order."
Redalis suddenly grew her features extending, till she was not too much smaller than Zeck and Slas.
Redalis hopped down off the desk and Zeck and Slas romped after her which she gave a few light squeaks but played with them.
"Nellms and Elaejia, I don't feel any of your wishes," Ias said looking at them.
"Awww," Nellms hissed looking at Elaejia who went wide eyed as Nellms looked at her.
"Why, are you having differences?" Ias asked.
"Nothing we can't work out," Elaejia said giving Nellms a stony look.
Ias smiled warmly at this and looked at Zeck and Slas as they circled around Redalis, "You two." They didn't look at Ias but continued to have fun with Redalis.
Ias figured to check up on sidge until they settled down, 'How are you getting along, Sidge?'
'Still looking. I've skimmed through the information about this place, quite interesting and I'm looking now on the history of Pranoke which is a pretty good read,' Sidge thoughtcast back.
'Well let me know if you need anything else,' Ias returned thoughts.
'Okay,' Sidge reply thought.
Zeck and Slas were now settling down a bit, "Now what do you two want."
"Oooo... a back scritchin'," Zeck said so Ias got up and moved from his desk to Zeck and did just that until the dwardra was fast asleep from it.
"Slas?" Ias looked at the other dwardra who was looking at Redalis, possibly telecommunicating Ias guessed.
Slas glanced at Ias and looked back at Redalis chuckling, 'Oh I don't want anything right now... Big dragon like sidge like a daddy heh heh.'
Ias did a double take thoughtcasting, 'You want what!?'
Now slas looked at him directly her expressions were lazy and open, 'Yeah, you may want Sidge but oooo yeah, that big guy, soooo big but he seems so nice....' Slas started drooling as she finished but Redalis made a small chuckle.
Ias wasn't sure, he had been totally unwound off of Sidge with his dealings and had completely forgot but now he wasn't so sure. His feelings he realized were lustful and temporary. Slas's feelings he surmised may be as well but Ias summed up his feelings and found he wasn't feeling so passionate about it anymore and he wondered why but he decided that the answer was probably more subtle, 'Well I had an idea to put into motion. Though I have to ask why you'r chuckling, Redalis, you seem so suddenly confident whence just a moment ago you were scared out of your wits.'
'She...' Slas started and gave an outright bellylaugh.
'Oh now stop it,' Redalis thoughtscolded Slas.
Slas wasn't affected by it, 'You and vigaush, ha ha.'
'Hey,' Redalis said blushing and not looking at Ias.
Ias in turn was surprised and let his mouth drop, 'You and... but just a moment ago.'
Redalis softened up a little half looking at Ias and half looking thoughtful, 'As many times as I evaded him that was fear. Now at my size which is about his size...' and she slowed down to a sly utterance of size, 'Those chasings are quite exciting to think about ... and ... hey let me go get that monster.' Redalis immediately shot away and to where Vigaush was perched at the window and stared at him for a little bit but as Ias watched him he suddenly stared straight at Redalis wide eyed. From the size of her or from her telecasts Ias couldn't really tell but he smiled and turned to Slas, "I may have to compete with you for Sidge." Ias looked at Nellms and Elaejia as he said this and saw them both not too far apart looking at one another.
Slas looked straight at him thoughtcasting, "Really?"
"I mean, what about poor old Zeck," Ias said looking at the sleeping form of Slas.
"Him, that lazy brute..." then Slas looked at Zeck.
Ias pondered on sidge but found that he could only shrug, the feelings are there but Ias found that he wouldn't be jealous of her if she had a time with Sidge just this once, "Just this once, Slas, you can have Sidge but realize that I can't manipulate him, he's off limits to that. I can only peak his senses, you know, arouse him..." Ias told Slas and she nodded drawing her gaze back to Ias. Ias in turn transported her down to the library and looked around. Smiling at the snooring Zeck he looked for Redalis and Vigaush but they were gone just in case he went to the window but couldn't see neither one so he was relieved that they didn't get into a fight and fall. So, he went over to his desk and stop gawk eyed as they were right on his chair and at first Ias thought it was fighting but no they were at a heated sexual play and Ias was half curious and stared a moment and saw that even with Vigaushe's wings versus Redalis's fur, their bodies still went together without ruffling too much out of each other, then he finally tore his gaze away and went over to one of the chair's he had by his window.
'What are you going to do?' Nellms thoughtcast coming over to him with Elaejia behind.
'He can't use his desk Nellms,' Elaejia said to him making a little smile which half surprised Ias.
"Well I figure, and this is trusting you as much as I trust myself. I am going to create servants," Ias explained looking at them.
'What? Why?' Nellms thoughtquestioned.
"The Elders, they have them, the god of the one has them, angels they are called. They represent them and do various tasks whereas if they were to do them they may end up overturning what they did not wish. The One God especailly because he cannot talk to his creations without making them go crazy."
They didn't say anything for a little bit.
'I for one don't have a problem with it,' Nellms thoughtcast.
'I wonder why you'd need them, you usually stay here and you can talk to us without us going crazy,' Elaejia thought commented.
Ias nodded and looked out the window for a little bit until he said, "I guess I need some more thought on the issue."
'Yeah, you should. We're going to go get dinner," Nellms thoughtcast and both Elaejia and him made for the lift and went inside, the doors closing behind them.
Ias felt that this was his chance to put his ideas to the test, as he doubted Redalis and Vigaush would bother him. He turned to his desk and saw that it still moved and swayed. Then he remembered Zeck but he found he didn't need to worry as the dwardra was still there sound asleep. Turning himself to face into the study Ias considered whether it would be worth it. To create servants to help him out might increase his capabilities but Elaejia had a point in that he didn't have many places to go but Ias figured he may visit Alvin or some other world at sometime and would need them. Either way, he figured that they couldn't hurt. From what he knew of Masprits, their existence was dependent on the will of the elders, meaning that they were just about an extention of the elders. They didn't have a will of their own. They were almost sort of puppets, it was rather difficult to fathom, Ias decided. He found that he viewed that as subserviant but not totally subserviant. Was it possible that they would go off on their own. Ias gave up and decided largely that he would have to test it. Concentrating real hard he made his first masprit to look like Sko.
"I'll name you Sco," He told the ghostly figure that now stood before him.
The figure bowed slightly and spoke in a airy voice, "Yes, sire."
Ias smiled and a million and one ideas enveloped his mind as to what he wanted the creature to do, "Just find out what everyone else is doing and come back to tell me. Still non visible to them as I'd not like to disturb them."
Sco bowed and vanished. After a few moments it reappeared, "Sidge and Slas are having sex as are Redalis and Vigaush are. Zeck is sleeping. Nellms and Elaejia are sleeping together."
"Where are they all at?" Ias asked.
"Sidge and Slas are in the library. Redalis and Vigaush are here as is Zeck. Nellms and Elaejia are in the creature quarters." Sco responded immediately.
Ias nodded his head and was amused but wanted to try one more question, "What did Redalis and Vigaush eat?"
"They both ate rats," Sco replied.
"Very good," Ias said and Sco bowed. Ias pondered for a moment about whether he would create more than one. He figured ten would do it for now and each would be for specific tasks and so he created ten. When he had finished he turned to them all and addressed them from left to right, "Sco is messenger, Eko is the 2nd, Tyi is the third. Gyu will be for physical metaphysical attack, Viv is the opposite. Bik will provide reconnaissance or escort, as will Kif. Min, your are our librarian and recordkeeper. Lio is the maker and builder. Llo, you are for personal or for various should I need you for other tasks.
"Now for you're individual assignments for now. Bik and Kif, could you please assess my creations currently living with us and you can give your report to me tommorrow, no hurries.
"Min, the same with no hurries and could you record Bik and Kif's findings putting those in the library.
"Lio, Remake the lower floors, give my creations each a floor and the messengers will help to relay this to each of the creatures and relay their intentions to you. Gyu and Viv will be on alert and monitor their progress. Remember that you all do not have to hurry. I only wish to hear your reports tommorrow."
Each of the Masprits that Ias gave a task dissapeared in turn. Only Llo was left and that was how Ias intended it so he turned to Llo and rubbed his chin saying, "Well, let me see what I can think of to do."
"Yes, sir." Llo replied.
"No need to speak. Let me see how you do in form." Ias said to Llo and the masprit became full flesh before Ias unclothed a human male that looked just like Ias did. Ias reached out and to his delight came into contact with the flesh of the form.
"Ah, very good." Ias commented and Llo didn't say anything. Ias wondered how few of instructions he could give him and whether he would obey to mind commands. He at once thoughtcast Llo to become fatter and indeed the form became fuller and meatier. Ias projected an image of himself as quite chubby with belly hanging out somewhat and Sco became it.
"This is so cool," Ias commented.
Llo still stood there stiff and expressionless Ias saw this so said, "Why so stiff, be natural. Have your own personality, I mean you are like a personal friend, so a friendly warm attitude a little carefree. Just don't sit there like a dead doorknob." 
Llo obeyed and became a little more loose and looked around with a slight smile, "Thank you, Ias."
"Oh joy, no more sirs, I was starting to get a little bored with it," Ias commented smiling and he got up.
"I know what you are getting at Ias, at least I can surmise what you would have me do," Llo told him.
"I am very impressed this is much better than I expected. So, then, what is it you can surmise?" Ias asked.
"Sidge," Llo said.
Ias stopped and stared at him, "You're not Sko are you, the one from the mentors?"
"No, Ias, I am Llo," Llo replied.
"Then how do you know?" Ias asked slowly.
"Giving me the freedom of personality allows me to be more flexible rather than stiff like the others. I sensed your mind and found the memory as being the most current surface as far as your own personal desires would be," Llo explained.
Ias felt something peculiar about this but he thought he'd better not let it surface, "Um... next time could you wait for me to ask."
Llo shrugged, "Okay, Ias."
Ias sat down again and looked out the window still wondering how the thing could have that trait with personality. Well, he guessed, it was randomness that he wanted and not stiffness. Not a free will but a personality. Maybe it was another added benefit since Ias found he wasn't put off by the foresight, just surprised, "I take it back Llo. Forget that last statement."
"Okay, Ias. So, take your mind away from considering this a simulation that isn't real. Sit back and relax," Llo said smiling broadly and turned away for a second. His form stretched and pitched before pulling back in slightly and there was Sidge or Llo, but Ias figured it may be best to call it sidge rather than Llo but his mind knew this wasn't sidge. Oh well, he considered it better that to fully appreciate it he would not let it trouble him so he relaxed upon the chair and he found that he did appreciate Sidge's form before him. Llo turned and Ias sat up in his chair, it was uncanny the resemblance. From the big hanging scaly belly which near touched the ground, to the chubby dragon face, Sidge was similar.
Ias stood up and moved toward Llo and coming to his neck he put his hand upon the dragon's head and brought him in close to his own whispered, "Very good. Now, I like bellies and stomach's, call it a fetish, roll over so I can sit on your belly and feed you."
"Okay," Llo hissed and rolled over and as he did his belly slunk down into itself making a few rolls of fat but becoming much much wider almost like water. Ias climbed aboard it enjoying the texture, the smooth scaly feel it stretched out wider as he got on and was like riding on a boat with no sides on water.
Ias moved to his chest where the creature's belly became narrower and motioned for him to bring his head and neck closer and it did bringing his head to lay before Ias. Ias made a swoop in the air grapping something and he now clutched a sagging doughy mass that was large, white, juicy, and dripping with honey. He opened Sidge's maw with a no effort and introduced the morsel into sidge's mouth. He responded by chewing and swallowing, and Ias saw his neck swell slightly as the morsel passed down into his belly and Sidge breathed a little bit and Ias felt his right side just under his chest but it wasn't hard at all which meant that it needed to get fuller. Ias got another piece of the dough and took at bite out of it this time and was surprised at the sweetness of the mass. This time he fed it to sidge he tuned his vision to see his insides and watched as the morsel was chewed and swallowed down Sidge's gullet being pushed down the tube of green down the distance and finally into the creature's shrivelled looking stomach that did expand but only a bit and he saw it seep through the top and flop inside. Ias layed down on sidge's belly and fed morsels to him one by one pausing to appreciate it's journey into sidge's stomach. After a while Ias felt Sidge's stomach slightly starting to push into his side as he breathed. He continued still trying to keep a low space even though he was up to fifty pieces of dough by now. Ias looked at Sidge's face and saw some strain but he fed the next piece and watched it seep down and down and into the creature's stomach and felt it push out more. Ias passed his hand down into sidge's body and touched the creature's stomach and felt the slimyness and pulsating warmth of it's outside. He gave it a slight squeeze and sidge grunted. Giving a wry smile Ias fed one last piece to Sidge and felt his stomach spear out at him totally full now. Ias felt back inside him and gave it a little relief but increased it's size to over the size of himself and felt Sidge's whole belly move up slightly. Ias had wondered about how it would be to be swallowed so he moved them both down to his foyer in primeon and grew sidge to double his size and he was able to be accomodated by the room. Ias motioned for the creature to move his head back up and Sidge did with no effort as it had let it's neck and head rest on the ground. Ias opened it's mouth which was a little over just enough to fit him and let sidge's instincts do the rest. Sidge started to open his mouth to chew but Ias told him, "Whole." The dragon thus tilted his head back and Ias slid down into his cavernous mouth headfirst and into the dark opening of his throat. He was just inside when the opening clamped on him and pulled him inside down across the greenish tube about his size across the gooey web tube that felt soft and pulsated. At one point Ias felt what he guessed was Sidges heart thumping against him as he was pushed slowly but surely down into the gut of Sidge until he was at a closed opening and stood upon it. There was a gurgling from below and the light thumping of Sidge's heart a little ways above. Suddenly the opening slid opening and Ias fell a little into it before catching himself. The result was the opening opened and closed over his abdomen squeezing him and below he felt himself spatterd by liquids. A few gurgles resulted and Ias let himself be sucked through the opening and he was. The light was not quality but Ias's enhanced vision from before let him see. He was in a shriveled up big long green looking sack that was expanded on account of the doughy masses that sat below which he had fed sidge. The inside walls of the sack spewed forth burbling and gurgling from all around hot juices of a green color. The walls did move slightly and Ias touched them finding them smooth. He moved and sat upon the doughy mass that half filled the stomach and looked up at the opening above which continued to open and close. Ias teleported himself outside of sidge who was resting and Ias moved to his belly which gurgled a little and placed his hand upon it and rubbed it. Sidge hissed slightly at the rubbing. Ias moved to Sidge's other end where his legs were sprawled out slightly and moved up and touched his belly from that end. Then he grabbed his penis and felt it's long lithe yet starting to harden in his hands and the creature's balls from that end.
'A slit under here, you know what I mean' Ias thoughtcasted rubbing the underside of Sidge's balls and he hissed again. Then there was a slit under Sidge's balls that dripped a little juices. Ias put his penis inside and it was pulled inside. He hugged Sidge's belly putting his face in it and hearing it gurgle and pulled his penis back and felt it get sucked in again into a warm pillowy oraface inside, wet and slick. Ias did it one more time and felt himself ejaculate on that try.
He backed away and thoughtcast Llo to return to his original form and there he was before Ias again all ghostly. Ias didn't much find the ordeal to be as he thought. He knew now that he didn't much want Sidge anymore.
"Well, Llo. I guess we're done for today. You can go help out the others on a personal level if they need it," Ias told Llo who bowed out dissapearing.
"So..." Sko said appearing with a smirk on his face.
"So what," Ias said turning to him.
"You know, what did you learn," Sko replied.
Ias paused for a few moments, "What did I learn? I learned well I don't think it matters especially since you know about it. About this Alvin Abernous though, maybe I'll go learn about him sometime."
Sko looked at him his expression unsmiling now, "What? What will you do with yourself, you've reached a new level and you don't have too much further to go to be at the top of your class."
"I.. Yes, Sko. What would I do? I'd go amongst them and dominate them with my powers," Ias said looking away from him.
"Now, Ias..." Sko reproached.
"It isn't me to go out there adventuring finding the bits of others. What do you want me to do? Help them." Ias explained.
"No, Ias, no. I just want you to get out of this place and have a diversion," Sko explained.
"It will take some thinking. Maybe after then I will want to go," Ias said.
Sko looked at him and turned around dissapearing as he walked away and reappeared in his line of vision, "You know the caverns down below?"
"Yes," Ias said looking at him but he was gone.
Ias went upstairs and into the library finding Sidge and Slas no longer engaged in their act. Slas winked at him but Sidge just looked around.
"I trust all is well?" Ias asked.
"Quite well," Slas said looking at Sidge who looked back and then at Ias.
Ias sat down before them both with one knee up and the other leg down and his arm resting on the knee as he looked over the knee at them, "Well, Sidge, I want to know what your thoughts are about here and if you have any wishes," Ias said.
Sidge looked down for a moment then back at Ias, "I... I may need some more time, maybe I'll go with you to see Alvin as Slas told me you were going. Maybe I'll find something there."
Ias looked straight at him, "That's your wish, to see Alvin."
"And by your good form, you must grant it," Slas said giving a dragonish grin.
Ias knew she was correct but turned the energy back at Slas demanding, "What is your wish?"
In reply Slas hopped onto sidge who was lying on his stomach the effect looking like a squashed and bloated sack underneath his abdomen, and gave him a light stomp on the back with a hind leg with sidge grunting, "I already have, a lazy bum."
"Lazy, hah, lazy, as interesting as your conversations are," Sidge said and Slas gave him another stomp.
"How do you like the library?" Ias asked.
"Well organized. I learned probably too much. I pity you Ias, being outcast as a kid," Sidge replied.
Ias looked down slightly, "Yeah... but I guess the goodside is this place and you all."
Slas stopped prancing around across his back which made sidge give several slow grunts, "Why, Ias, that's the nicest thing I've heard you say? Maybe Sko's talking to you really did pay off."
"Something like that..." Ias said and stopped as Eko appeared and addressed Slas on Sidge, "Slas, you are needed to build your quarters on the request of Lio."
Slas looked at Ias, "What did you do?"
"What I always do?" Ias said back smiling.
Slas hopped off of Sidge and nodded at Eko and they both vanished.
"Heh, fiesty one she is yet..." Sidge started.
"Lazy as they come," Ias finished and started to leave himself.
"Hey wait Ias," Sidge called after him.
Ias stopped and turned around and Sidge continued, "I did read some about you. You've created many creations but there is no official log or anything here to provide information about the creations."
"I only have a log and it's in my desk upstairs in the study," Ias said.
"I'd like to see it," Sidge said standing up.
Ias looked at Sidge for a moment then looked away. He was rather mixed as to what he thought about this unusual request but he moved Sidge and himself back to the study and went to the desk finding Redalis and Vigaush curled up with each other. Smiling he opened and reached inside the cabinet nearest the entry flap so as not to disturb the sleeping creatures and retrieved his journal log moving back and handing it to Sidge but sidge didn't read it like Ias expected, he turned to Ias, "Slas mentioned a little of Alvin Abernous."
"There's nothing in the library of him. I probably know as much as you do from Slas," Ias said quickly and Sidge looked at him for a moment.
"There is something about that Alvin that you don't like is there," Sidge said.
Ias tilted his head to one side looking at Sidge, "Heh. You're good. But yeah, I guess I don't favor the competition."
"But it might do you well and anyways, it's my wish," Sidge said giving a dragon-smile.
"So, it must be but I won't inquire to the specifics," Ias said and turned to the desk.
"Tommorrow," Sidge said from behind and Ias stopped turning slowly looking down.
"Okay, tommorrow," Ias said.
"Good, but for now while it is still light out may I talk to you about your Eliuser abilities?" Sidge said coming a little closer.
"What of it?" Ias said with an eyebrow raised and head still tilted to the side but he righted himself.
"I mean, I read some specifics on it by Kavenshire," Sidge explained.
"Really good author," Ias commented.
"Yes," Sidge replied.
"You know she's an elder?" Ias said.
Sidge tilted his head this time, "Really."
Ias shook his head and Sidge righted his so Ias made the room darken and specs of synth dance around swimming and swirling around them like specs of light. Then he spoke to sidge, "Well, I was once normal or at least I thought myself normal but then I found that I could enter metasynth but realize that it wasn't known to me what metasynth was at the time. Only later did I read and hear about metasynth. Ever since then I secretly worked on it and openly when I left and got out into the wilderness up until I got too powerful."
"Too powerful?" Sidge questioned.
"Yes, well at least powerful enough that the elders gave me pranoke so I wouldn't destroy anything. I did practice aspects of building, of offensive synth as well as defensive. So everything is as it is due to my doings except I can't figure why more of my creations didn't stay here. See, there were already birds and the other animals the elders made but I can't find any of my creations." Ias told Sidge.
"Maybe they got out off of Pranoke?" Sidge suggested.
"It's probable since this place I haven't completly explored as Sko said, I haven't went into the caverns below. The key may be there and there may be near infinite possibilities as you may have read," Ias said.
"No, I didn't get to that book on the caverns though another book on primeon did suggest things existed there prior to you coming to pranoke," Sidge said.
"And you see what Sko was suggesting don't you?" Ias asked sidge.
Sidge nodded, "We must explore the caverns to reach Alvin. Though I hope Sko tells you the exact one, we may be there forever trying out the different exits."
"Yeah..." Ias stopped looking around because it was suddenly dark and the swimming crystons had stopped.
"What?" Ias asked looking around then at Ias.
"I may have done something... something actually that may be more good than bad," Ias said looking around slowly then he conjured up a boulder and cast it into the darkness where it went onward until it was a distant speak.
"I didn't notice anything new," Sidge said.
Ias looked at him unsure but then remembered that he couldn't see the specks unless he was up higher as a Synth user, "I finally created a dimension."
Sidge went wide eyed but looked at him with a dragon smirk, "You mean a parallel existence?"
"Yes, I had tried before and I hadn't gotten very far, I just thought that displacing light and making crystons swirl around looked neat enough to explain about Eliusers. I never thought to leave the crystons swirl for as long as I let them here now." Ias reflected.
"But how can we breathe," Sidge asked.
"It makes sense, but the environment is modeled after what I based it off so it has those elements. It just is a dark void right now but this can be changed to light," Ias said and made the area go to light.
"I thought first forms couldn't do this," Sidge said.
"Probably not but there are some, secondary or absolute forms can but it requires good metasynth discipline but the higher level synth users can do it I'd imagine. I can still perish here as can those other forms but Absolute forms can and sometimes creation can take some time especially with larger scale creation such as a world, it takes many years and lifetimes to create a planet, especially when one wants to have life of other forms follow the creation of the planet as the elders have done at times," Ias explained.
"You've extended your life and need to intake food though haven't you?" Sidge asked.
"Part of my experiment I will admit to enjoying the benefits though. I don't know how long I will live exactly but I know that I can withstand not eating for a week and have no ill effects," Ias said.
"Show me what else you can do," Sidge said abruptly.
Ias looked at him for a moment but willed up synth to make sky and a sunny sky was above with a few traces of clouds. Ias made the ground a mirror and the effect made it look much bigger, almost endless. Ias outstretched his hand to the sky and a lightning bolt struck the ground far off. Then Ias summoned winds and rain. He had comets crash all around from the sky and fog set in. Then he repaired it all to what it was before starting what he did with the mirrored floor and partly cloudy blue sunny sky.
"Very impressive, Ias," Sidge reflected looking down at himself in the mirrored ground but he near leapt into the air.
"Big guy, no wonder slas," Ias heard him mumble.
"Ooh sidge, I'm sorry about that," Ias said weakly smiling.
"No, it's that I haven't saw myself..." Sidge started to say.
"Well if you want me to," Ias said motioning to Sidge's bloated belly.
"No... but anyway, how would we get back and how would you get back here, I mean can this always exist or do you have to recreate it all the time?" Sidge said at length.
"I'd never been this far before but I would guess I could engineer a synth sequence through a mirror and try to link it here. This won't dissapear because none of my creations have. But to get back I just teleport us," Ias said and moved them back to the study, then he created a small mirror and stared into it until the mirror showed a sky over a mirror which was like a double sky.
"I made it but if you get in it you're going to need me to get you out. That is unless you can teleport back, though I can change it. But it's just a touch to get in it," Ias said.
Sidge nodded and finally said at length, "Slas didn't talk much about it except it concerned Alvin but I've been wondering if Sko told you anything about combining."
Ias was surprised and interested now to hear him say that, "Alvin is an Eliuser, he could work up Synth to do it, mostly anyone can, I mean since you're a creation of mine I can easily combine with you. Here give me a talon."
Sidge slowly obeyed Ias but Ias took his talon in the palm of his hand and generated the synth letting his mind go but concentrating on Sidge until his hand starting to seep into Sidge, the feeling though that it generated was not one that Ias expected, just combining Ias felt slightly renewed and a warmth radiated from where he was combined with Sidge so ias drew himself back uncombining.
"That was... indescribable," Sidge softly said.
Ias looked at his hand and Sidge's talon and started to moved to grasp it again but this time Sidge beat him. Ias combined his hand but this time he let his arm sink in then he brought his legs up and got them to combine following up to their pelvis though Ias actually was a little giddy there after what he did with Llo but it was actually differnt and Sidge's penis against him was warm but then Ias was combined there and next he pressed his abdomen laying into Sidge there feeling Sidge's scaly smooth plump belly rub up against him until they combined in their abdomen like water then Ias moved his chest to sidge combining with him there. Ias felt near indescribable and he looked into Sidge's eyes all the time until he let his head rest alongside Sidge's neck and then he felt himself combining there the feeling was similar to be submerged in water then he felt he was falling into an endless light void but he felt Sidge's thoughts all around him.
'Ias, this is beyond anything I have ever...'
'Beyond, and even further,' Ias echoed turning and basking in the feeling looking upward into the brightness. Even though it was falling Ias felt secure, he felt he could stay there forever. He sensed more of Sidge's thoughts while lying there an was moved by the feelings of unknown and of every other feeling Sidge had. He sensed them all at once and he was surprised that he understood them all at once.
'I sense yours to, your memories... Ias...' Sidge's voice echoed.
Ias sensed Sidge's memories though they weren't very long and the feelings he had flooded and moved Ias again. Ias felt the longing again but it was different. The longing feeling felt as if Ias had already felt it and experienced and overcame it, a replay. He actually found that the tension and pain of before was now soft now furfilled there in that space.
'Your creations, Ias, I see that I don't need to read your journal now,' Sidge echoed.
Ias knew what sidge meant reading his thoughts. He looked all around though and knew that he had taken another step not only with his Eliuser abilities but with Sidge as well. He was now close and with Sidge.
