Notes See the end of the work for notes ***** Omegas ***** Once the world was a barren place. There was no life, no water and no fire. It was cold and desolate. Hundreds of thousands of years passed. Then something marvelous happened. The center of the world began to warm, filing with liquid flame. Gasses filled the air, bringing color to the once never ending black sky. As the center's warmth spilled outward and the sun shone down on the giant ball of space rock, weather began to form. Rain then large storms that encompassed the entire planet. Oceans formed and with them, so did life. Plants covered the sea floor. Animals swam from one end to the other. As more years passed, land formed. More life bloomed. Deep in a forest, a pit of the liquid flames opened up from the center. Creatures of the land gathered to watch as new life forms formed. They were tall with only two legs and two arms. No hair covered their bodies but for the top of their heads. One by one, they crawled from the liquid flames. These new creatures were beautiful with a multitude of skin and hair colors in hues found no where else. It was quickly realized that these creatures were the strongest to ever be born from the earth. But none of the other creatures feared for their own lives. These hairless beings were gentle and only took want they needed to survive. As years passed, the beings learned that they were very different from their other Earthly companions. They lived for far longer than any other being, in fact it seemed that they would not die at all. And while they mated like their companions, they never had young. But for the fifty who had been birthed from the liquid flame, not another single one of their kind walked the earth. Sadness settled upon the beautiful, multicolored beings. They withdrew from their fellow Earthly beings. The world changed around them. Creatures lived and died, some becoming extinct. Their sadness deepened and their tears soaked the land. It came as a shock when the cries of babes came from the land. The beautiful, colorful beings dug down into the ground. There, nurtured by the Earth it's self were babies that looked so much like the colorful beings. These new beings were their children, conceived from their tears and the land. They called these children Betas and the beautiful, colorful creatures were named Gods and Goddesses. Or mama and papa. As time passed, the Betas mated with each other and had children of their own. Hundreds of years later, the land they called home, Pangea was filled with Betas. The Gods and Goddesses couldn't have been more pleased with their beloved children. Billions of years passed. The Gods and Goddesses became stronger and developed their unique abilities; magic, as they grew to call it. Their children, Betas, also possessed magic. Only Betas' magic was never as strong and powerful as their parental race's. Nor did Betas have the everlasting life of the Gods and Goddesses. As the Beta race grew and expanded, they built cities and empires. Some fell, some became strong. And never did they forget from whence they came. The Gods and Goddesses began to fall in love with the descendants of the descendants of the descendants (and so on) of their children. Unions between Gods/Goddesses and Betas were formed. From these unions, a new race was born. Alphas. Gods and Goddesses were tall creatures, standing well above nine feet in height. Some stood at an amazing twelve feet. Their children, Betas, stood well below that. At a simple five feet eleven inches to six feet. Alphas however, never stood below six feet five inches. They often reached the heights of seven feet. Like their elder parental race, Alphas were big and strong and their magic rivaled that of the Gods and Goddesses. As time went on, the Betas and Alphas began to mate together. While Beta/Beta and God or Goddess/Beta unions were fertile with children, Alpha/Beta and Alpha/Alpha unions were not. A male Beta and female Alpha could have all the children they wanted. However a female Beta's womb was not strong enough to withstand the magic of a male Alpha's seed and a female Alpha's magic canceled out the male's magic. Leaving such unions unprosperous. The Gods and Goddesses were crushed by this new development. It was like watching their own loneliness mirrored back at them. They had to do something. The Gods and Goddesses gathered. It took many years for them to come up with a solution. They were no longer young and inexperienced. They had lived for hundreds of thousands of billions of years. It was simple. Female Betas and female Alphas soon found themselves pregnant with pure magic of the Gods and Goddesses. Thus a new race was born. Omegas. Omegas were the most delicate and tiny of the four races. However, they were no pushovers. Their magic was in par with that of the Alphas. This made them the perfect mates for male Alphas. There was one thing that was odd about the Omegas, however. Whenever the Goddess of Fertility and Queen of all the Goddesses, Omiya created an Omega; they were always born male. The Goddess, Omiya was the only one to great these male Omegas and they turned out to be the most powerful of The Three Children Races (Aloha, Beta, Omega). Male Omegas' magic was stronger than any Alphas and was equal to The Parental Race's (Gods and Goddesses). Because of this, Omiya limited the conception of her Omegas to those who had earned her favor and only ever allowed them to mate with their True Mates. This made sure that they would not have to suffer in love. =============================================================================== ~ OMEGAS ~ =============================================================================== While the Gods and Goddesses were being born in the liquid flames, another race of creatures were being birthed. Deep in the center if the Earth there was a metal so hot, it was liquid. This place of liquid metal was a dark place. The creatures born here were big and bulky. As ugly as the Gods and Goddesses were beautiful. Their skin was hard and a sickly mixture of blue and green. They had large horns on and scraggly scraps of hair their heads. These metal born creatures also had powerful magic, but were the Gods and Goddesses magic was creation, their magic was destruction. For billions of years, they lived beneath the earth. All other creatures, unaware of their existence. These metal creatures were not unaware, however. They watched and waited. Hating all other life. As The Three Children Races and The Parental Race rejoiced in life and love, the metal creatures struck. Oozing up from beneath the earth, they killed and ravaged the land. The Children and The Parents fought with all their might. The war went on for a thousand years. Eventually the metal creatures were driven back beneath the earth and back into the liquid metal depths of the planet. The Children and The Parents rebuilt the world. Saving what creatures remained from extinction. Planting trees and flowers. Cleaning water sources. It was tiring work, but after two hundred years, all was well with the world again. Having used their magic for war instead of creation, the Gods and Goddesses had gone against their nature and weakened themselves. After the planet began to heal, they laid a spell to allow for mor Omegas to be born in their absence. They then returned to their birth place and slept amongst the liquid flames. Unaware of the evil lurking among their children. The metal creatures may have been defeated, but they had not given up. They found those who were willing to listen to them. Teaching the ways of their dark magic. As the Gods and Goddesses slept, the world underwent a change. =============================================================================== ~ OMEGAS ~ =============================================================================== Year: 1567. 2,000 years after The Parental Race went to sleep. The world was a beautiful place, but not everyone in it were beautiful. Some were cruel, others evil. People struggled over power and money. In the last two thousand years, they had began to lose their ways. Alphas stood on top, while Betas stood a far second. However, it was the Omegas who were in control. Omega women were special and they new it. They were equal in power to their Alpha men and were the only ones who could provide the male Alphas with children. The Omega female never allowed anyone to forget this fact. The Omegas became spoiled and cruel. They only accepted an Alpha after he had proven himself by killing other Alphas. They would take the winning Alpha for a temporary mate then discard them after they had becoming pregnant. Of course, not all Alphas lived this way. Some chose to mate with Beta and Alpha females. Some even mated to males. The Omegas with all the here power, could not oppose this as Alphas were as strong as them. Whenever a new Omega was born, her family was given riches and praised as the favorites if the Gods and Goddesses. Omegas were royalty. That was if course they were born female. 1,200 years ago, it had been forbidden for any male Omega to be born. Any woman who gave birth to a male Omega was burned at the stake for her practice of dark magic and aligning themselves with the evil metal creatures. After all, it was only dark magic that allowed make Omegas to exist. At least that's what the world's leaders said. There was no one old enough to remember the true origin of male Omegas. This was the corrupt world little Omega Takaba Akihito was born into. ***** Born A Criminal ***** Chapter Notes Please check out: https://www.britannica.com/place/Pangea. See the end of the chapter for more notes The Takaba and Asami families were two of the oldest families in all of Pangea and the surrounding islands. The first Takaba and Asami arose from the Earth itself when the Goddess Omiya's tears and the God Dio's tears saturated the ground. From the beginning, the Takabas remained loyal to their Mother Goddess Omiya, while the Asamis stayed true to their Father God Dio. The love the two families had for their Parents ran deep an in turn the Parents loved them just as deeply. The Takaba's and Asami's loyalty and love earned them the favour of the other Gods and Goddesses as well. Both families found themselves blessed with many Alphas and Omegas born to them. Through time, the Takabas and Asamis found themselves elevated into the highest ranks of nobility and were even considered royalty, something reserved strictly for The Parental Race. When the Gods and Goddesses returned to the liquid flames to slumber, they left five families in charge. Sudou, Azumi, Sakazaki, Asami and Takaba. Each family lived on one of the five islands that had formed after the land shifted and parts of Pangea broke into six pieces. The supercontinent: Pangea and the five islands: Antarctica, Japan, Galapagos, Greece and Atlantis. For the first 700 hundred years, the five families ruled in peace. But the metal creatures were hard at work with their corrupt and destructive ways. The Sudou, Azumi and Sakazaki families rose up against the Asami and Takaba families. The Asamis and Takabas were forced to retreat to their home islands and bow to the other three families. If not for the favour the Gods had shown the two families and their ties to having been originally born from earth and tears, the Asamis and Takabas would have lost everything. =============================================================================== ~ BORN A CRIMINAL ~ =============================================================================== September 1567 Takaba Sora was a beautiful young lady. She was tall and had the body of a dancer. Except for her breasts, no dancer was that well endowed. She had silver blond hair and eyes the color of Panthalassa's waters. She was intelligent and quite, but far from shy. She also had very weak magic. The most she could do with her magic was tend the gardens if her home and Omiya's temple. Not that Sora minded that. She loved to garden and would spend hours among the flowers, trees, fruit and vegetables. Sora's magic may have been weak but the island of Atlantis had never been more beautiful before she was born. Sora was loved by the other Atlantians. She often found herself being courted by many a handsome Beta males, and even some Alphas. She turned them all down though. Sora had known from a very young age that she was destined for something special. Her Goddess Omiya had told her so in one of her dreams when she was but a young girl. Since then, Sora contented herself with preparing for her destiny and her gardening. On the night of Sora's eighteenth birthday, Her Goddess Omiya came to her again. Warmth filed Sora's body. A soft glow shown throughout her body. Hours passed as Sora slept and Omiyas magic went to work. When morning came, Sora couldn't be more overjoyed. =============================================================================== ~ BORN A CRIMINAL ~ =============================================================================== Sora dressed for the day and made her way down to breakfast. She smiled as she was warmly greeted by her loving, doting father. Takaba Haru. "Morning baby girl." "Morning papa!" Haru chuckled. "You seem awful cheerful this morning." "Well papa, something very wonderful happened last night." "Oh? Care to share with your dear old dad?" "But of course! Once mama, Takato and Kou come down to breakfast." Haru laughed, deep and loudly. It echoed through the dinning hall and out into the hallway. Takaba Tsuki smiled warmly as she entered the dinning hall and heard her beloved husband's laughter. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pressed a kiss to his cheek. Soon after, Sora's two older brothers; Kou and Takato joined them. Breakfast was a loud, cheerful affair. With laughter and teasing all around. Once breakfast was gone and the dishes cleaned away, Haru turned to his youngest child and only daughter. "So will you kindly tell us what wonderful thing happened to you, Sora?" "Of course papa." Sora grinned. Taking her time to tell her story. Enjoying the anticipation that was building up. "Alright. Last night, Our Goddess Omiya visited me in my dream." She grinned as joyful tears escaped her eyes. "I'm with child. Gifted by Our Goddess Omiya." "Oh baby that's so wonderful!" Her mother cried. Sora was swept up into a tight hug by her mother and her brothers pressed sweet kisses to her cheeks. When her mother finally let her go, Haru swept his daughter up into a tight, fatherly hug. He pressed a kiss to the top of her head. When he pulled away, he smiled happily back at her. There were tears in his eyes and a sadness that confused Sora. "I always knew that you were special Sora." "Why do you look so sad papa?" Haru brushed his hand across his daughter's check. "Let us adjourn to the library." "Alright papa." Confused by Haru's obvious sadness, everyone followed the Alpha into the family's vast library. Sora's favorite room in the large Takaba mansion. Sora snuggled up in the large leather chair that both she and her father favoured. Tsuki, Takato and Kou claimed the two small sofas. Haru wandered over to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a large glass of whiskey. He gulped it all down in one go. "Sora, do you know how male Omegas are made?" "From a union with the dark magic." "No my dear, that is not it at all. Those are lies spread by the metal creatures." "But the metal creatures were defeated." "True. But that did not stop them. They have been whispering their evil words for the last two thousand years. Twelve hundred years ago they succeeded in turning some of us against our Parents. That is when the killing of male Omegas began and their birth was outlawed. " Before than, male Omegas were considered the most precious gift Our Goddess Omiya could give. You see Sora, Omiya is the only one who can make a male Omega and they are the only kind she can make." "Papa?" Haru knelt down before his daughter. He brushed her hair back from her face. "I love you baby. And I lobe your son, already. Do not worry child, I will keep you and your son safe." =============================================================================== ~ BORN A CRIMINAL ~ =============================================================================== The doors to the Takaba's family's home were blown wide open. Men in red armor marched into the ancient mansion. The Takabas were yanked from their beds by the armored men and dragged down into the entrance hall, where they were forced to their knees. A tall women with graying hair and cold orange eyes entered their home. She stood before Takaba Haru, Tsuki, Takato and Kou. "Mistress Nor, to what do we owe the pleasure of having you visit our humble home?" Haru asked. Sarcasm dripping off every single word. "I want to know where your daughter is." "Sora? Why?" "Do not play me four a fool Takaba Haru. Your daughter is a practitioner of the dark arts and is now caring that evil inside her. Her foul, unholy child must die and she must pay for her sins." "You are one to speak of sins Nor. You parade around as loyal priestess of Our Goddess Omiya, yet you wish to kill my grandchild." The blow Nor delivered to Haru's face caused a split to form in his lip, but the Alpha never flinched. His crystal blue eyes stared Nor right in the eye. "Last chance Takaba. Where is your daughter and a sin of a child?" "I'll never tell." Haru grinned up at his enemy. Takabas never betrayed. Nor raised her sword high. With one swift blow, she decapitated Takaba Haru. She turned to the remaining three Takabas. "Will you tell me where Sora is?" "No." Tsuki, Kou and Takato answered in unison. "Have it your way then." At Nor's nod, three armored men raised their blades and brought them down on the three Takabas. Three heads rolled across the Takaba's entrance hall floor. Only stopping when the joined a fourth head. =============================================================================== ~ BORN A CRIMINAL ~ =============================================================================== Deep in the woods that ran along the northern edge of Atlantis, labored breath could be seen misting in the cold morning air. She was dressed in a black pair of leggings and a black knit sweater. Both keeping her warm. Her silver blond hair, once long and flowing, now rested no lower than her chin and had been colored a deep purple. Her father had given her contacts that changed her eyes from Panthalassa's ocean depths to a bright red. Sora no longer looked like herself. She didn't mind though. She would do anything to keep her son safe. As a young girl, Sora had attended school just like everyone else. They were taught many things, laws included. For mist of her eighteen years, Sora had believed that male Omegas were evil incarnate. She had believed it. Now she was carrying one. Her father had sat her down and told her the real truth about ale Omegas. Sora didn't doubt her father's words. Takaba Haru never spoke a word that was untrue. Truth, loyalty and love was the Takaba family 's motto of life. The sun was beginning to rise when Sora reached the end of the forest. She was just stepping free of the trees when she stumbled over a rock. She fell to the ground and rolled down a medium sized hill. Landing right before the hooves of a rather ugly and mean looking horse. A nasty laugh echoed in the morning air. "Good morning Sora. I see that fate has arranged for you to practically fall into my lap." Sora looked up to see Mistress Nor sitting on top of the horse. =============================================================================== ~ BORN A CRIMINAL ~ =============================================================================== Sora screamed as the nail embedded whip once again fell across her back. How many lashes did that make now? 200? 300? 1,000? Did it even mater? She was so sore and she was coated in blood. Her own blood. Sora's tired and swollen eyes fell to rest on her well rounded stomach. She was now six months along in her pregnancy. She smiled as warmth filled her at the sight of her unborn son. She had tried to escape many times, always failing. She wouldn't give up though. Nope. Her son was too precious to give up hope. While held in captivity, Sora had learned the sickening truth of why male Omegas were outlawed. It wasn't because they were born of evil magic. It was because they were so powerful. Those who had aligned themselves with the metal creatures had made a pact. They would send women to infiltrate Omiya's temples and become priestesses. Once they had mastered the teachings and earned the title of Mistress, they would gain the ability to determine the sex and 'race'; ie: Alpha, Beta or Omega; of an unborn child. This ability belonged solely to Omiya and her priestesses. With the law in place that banned male Omegas, the false priestesses would search for those carrying male Omegas. They would arrest the supposed 'sinner' and bring them to specialized cells. Nine months later, if the mother had not repented their 'sins', they would be executed publicly. Why they waited nine months had always been left unsaid. But Sora now new the truth. It was so that they could torture the mother, or rather tenderize the meat as it was really called, until the child was born. With all the pain inflicted on the mother, the child would taste absolutely delicious. Once the mother was executed, the metal creatures would feast on the newborn male Omega. Consuming both their flesh and uncontrolled power. It was sickening. And Sora refused to allow that to be her beloved son's fate. =============================================================================== ~ BORN A CRIMINAL ~ =============================================================================== The earth shook beneath Sora's body. She grinned as vines spilled forth from the cracked ground. She was so tired and in so much pain that it had taken her far too long to work this simple bit of magic. She may have little in the way of magic but plants had always been good to her and easily bent to her will. More and more vines spilled forth. Wrapping around her body. Completely wrapped in the vines, they pulled her across the ground and into the broken ground. The fissure closed just as Nor and her men entered Sora's cell. Safe for the first time in months, Sora fell asleep. She didn't know how long she slept, nor how far the vines had taken her. When she woke, Sora found herself laying in a large bed that was too soft to be believed. Her eyes wandered around the room, taking in the beautiful record. The walls were done in a pale yellow paint, the floors were a light wood and sunflowers mixed with red roses decorated the end tables. A gentle breeze blew in through an open window. The door opened. A tall female Alpha entered. The woman had waist length, dark blond hair. Warm brown eyes and wore a deep purple dress. "Oh! Your awake! You must be hungry." The Alpha waved a hand and a scrumptious display of food was laid out before Sora. She didn't think twice before digging in. "I'm so glad to see you awake! We were all so worried. You were very badly injured." "Who are you?" "Oh! Where are my manners? I am Momohara Ai. I have been looking for you." Sora frowned. "Why?" "I'm a loyalist. I have dedicated myself to Omiya." "But your an Alpha. Alphas don't usually become priests and priestesses." "Well I am very fond of Omiya. She was a very good mother to me and my sister." Sora's fork dropped. "Your a daughter of Our Goddess Omiya?" Ai smiled. "Yup! Both my sister and I were raised in the land of the Gods and Goddesses. Its a very beautiful place." "Were there a lot of others?" "No. Only Goddesses bring their children to grow up there. Gods leave their children to be raised by their mothers. And since the Gods and Goddess are still slumbering, only waking every few years to have children, my sister and I were alone. But we didn't suffer for it. Our father had other children and we often visited them. Plus Dio was good to us. So loving but tough. Very tough." "Wait. Do you mean Dio as in Our God Dio, God of Justice and King to all Gods? That Dio?" "Yes. Dio is my stepfather." "Wow!" Ai chuckled. "Whenever Omiya wakes so does Dio. They are mated and Dio prefers to always be by her side." "I always wondered how the Gods and Goddesses felt with their infidelity." "Mmm…. Well its not really infidelity. The Gods and Goddesses who are mated understand. They stay true to each other. And though they are having sex with another, its really only for the same of having children. The Parental Race are very much alone. All the other creatures if Earth out number them. They never die and for far too long, they couldn't have children if their own. So this sleeping with another for children is very important to them." "That makes since. Children are very special." Sora's hand rested upon her well rounded stomach. =============================================================================== ~ BORN A CRIMINAL ~ =============================================================================== Sora was happy. Well as happy as she could be. Ai and the other women who lived in the brothel, Ai was a madame of a very popular "whore house", were very kind to her. They were friendly and lovely. Over the past month, Sora had become very good friends with all of them. The only blemish on her freedom came from all she had learned about the going ons in Atlantis. Her family had been executed. Their family home burned to the ground and their name destroyed. The Takabas were no longer nobility. They were nothing more then criminals now. Labeled traitors and dark magic users. Sora had cried when she had learned of her family's fate. Her brothers hadn't even found love yet. Her mother, so kind. And her beloved papa. Sora didn't care about the rest. It wasn't important. Not when compared to her innocent family. =============================================================================== ~ BORN A CRIMINAL ~ =============================================================================== May 5th 1568 Sora panted as pain rippled through her. Sweat poured off her body. Ai held her hand and encouraged her to continue pushing. The wail of a newborn filled the bedroom. Sora and Ai smiled at each other. Women came forward and cleaned Sora and her son. Hope, a sweet young lady came forward. The newborn in her arms. Hope handed Sora her son and Sora was able to gaze upon her little Omega for the first time. He was beautiful and all squishy looking. She caressed his tiny, chubby cheek. Sadness settled on her for a moment. How could her beloved little baby be a criminal just for being born? "What are you going to name him?" Ai asked. "Akihito." Sora's eyes closed and her body went slack. Ai's magic faded away, no longer able to sustain Sora and keep her alive. Tears fell from sadden eyes as Sora died, her newborn in her arms. Ai took Akihito from Sora's slackened arms. She bounced the crying babe who had been born a criminal. She began to sing the lullaby her mother had sang to her and her sister. Suddenly the very Earth trembled. A scream filled with pure anguish rent the very sky. People shook in terror. Chapter End Notes To help: Pangea is a supercontinent that existed a long time ago. Land shifted and Pangea was no more. In this story, Pangea still exists. Hence the alternative history tag. In this story the only land that exists is Pangea which is made up of everything that exists today. Russia, China, Australia, America, and so forth. However, there are five islands that broke off from Pangea like his Pangea shifted apart in our history. This is another alternate from our history. These islands are: Antarctica, Atlantis, The Galapagos Islands, Greece and Japan. All real places, except for maybe Atlantis. That one is in debate. If you don't know what Atlantis is, it is an Island that sank beneath the Atlantic Ocean eons ago. It dates to Ancient Greece and Rome. No one knows why or his it sank. Atlantis is also Aquaman's home :-P . Now the five islands are not the size they are in our real world. Except Japan. Atlantis is the size of Australia in our world. Antarctica, Greece and Galapagos are smaller then in our world. Panthalassa is the ocean that once covered the world. ***** A New World Order ***** May 5th 1568 Suddenly the very Earth trembled. A scream filled with pure anguish rent the very sky. People shook in terror. Temples fell. Priestesses and priests fell to the ground, blood pouring from every pore and every orifice. Clouds blocked out the sun and the Panthalassa boiled. People fled there homes as the land cracked apart. More anguished screams trembled along the sky. The pool of liquid flames spewed high into the sky as they filed with anger. One by one the Gods and Goddesses climbed from the angry pool of liquid flames. They descended down onto their children, rage burning in their eyes and heart. People dropped to their knees and bagged "why?". " YOU HAVE BETRAYED US."The Gods and Goddesses replied. "No We Haven't!" Cried the people. "If you didn't betray us," The Goddess Omiya's voice was deceptively calm. "Then why is one of mine DEAD?!" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN GODDESS?" "Takaba Sora, a daughter of my tears and mother to one of my Omegas was MURDERED!" "The Takabas were in league with the metal creatures! Using the dark arts!"The people replied. Omiya screamed in rage. Tears spilled from her pink eyes. "LIES!" Waves rose high out of Panthalassa. Touching the sky. When they crashed back down, they swept Atlantis down beneath them. Sending it to the bottom of the ocean. The screams of the Atlantians could be heard throughout the world as they drowned in Panthalassa. More waves rose. The God Dio pulled his mate into his arms. He rocked her back and forth. Omiya began to calm and the waves died back down. But her pain would not ease. Suddenly Dio grunted in pain. Omiya pulled back and looked down. A large spear was embedded in her mate's chest, right through his heart. She yanked it free and turned to face the one who had thrown it. Behind her and her mate, stood a large army dressed in red armor. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" "We are loyal to our masters. Death to the Gods, Goddesses and all who follow them!" War ensued. The Gods and Goddesses fought against the legions of soldiers who followed the metal creatures and traitors. The people were divided. There were those who had always been loyal to The Parental Race and joined their Parents in war. There were others who had been brainwashed by those in power and sided with the armies and metal creatures. Then there were those who his their loyalty, knowing that if The Parental Race and their followers won, they would be needed to keep doing the metal creatures works in secret. =============================================================================== ~ ===============================================================================   The world became a scary place. The sky was black with smoke from fires set to homes and fields. Panthalassa and the lakes turned red with blood. The Children were dying in large numbers. This devastated The Parents. It didn't matter if they were loyal or traitor, they were still their children. Years passed with no hope of the war ending. =============================================================================== ~ ===============================================================================   May 5th 1568 Seven year old Asami Ryuichi stilled as her heard Omiya's screams. He dropped his little wooden sword and raced inside the large castle. His grandfather met him in the hall and scooped him into his big, strong arms. "Grandpa, why is Omiya so sad?" "Takaba Sora died this morning." "Oh no. What about my mate?" Little Ryuichi's eyes were hopeful. "I don't know Ryuichi." Sadness settled on the little seven year old's shoulders. He buried his face in his grandfather's chest, biting back tears. Chances were that if Sora had died, then his mate had as well. Ryuichi tried to hold back the despair that filled his heart as the land trembled and Omiya's screams continued. =============================================================================== ~ ===============================================================================   Five years later, 1573 Twelve year old Asami Ryuichi raced through the forest. Right beside him was his best friend, Suoh Kazumi. They had been woken from their slumber three hours ago. His grandfather ordered them to dress in their warmest and darkest clothing. He had then sent them out if the house and told them to run as fast as they could. The soldiers were coming. Ryuichi and Kazumi hadn't listened to his grandfather and had stayed to watch. The red armored soldiers came. Asami Daisuke was dragged from his home in chains. Ryuichi tried to race to his grandfather's side but Kazumi held him back. They watched as his grandfather was dragged away, now can prisoner of war. When the soldiers and his grandfather were out of sight, the two boys ran. Ran and ran until their legs collapsed from out beneath them. They huddled beneath a large tree. Fear that the soldiers would find them keeping them awake until they could no longer keep their eyes open. When morning came, the two boys began their race through the forest again. Two weeks passed before they reached their destination. Just at the edge of the forest was a hidden port. This was where the loyalists traveled from and to Japan. The two boys were met by a rough looking man by the name of Himya. He took them aboard his ship and sailed them across the Panthalassa. A week at sea and they had reached the main land, Pangea. From there, Ryuichi and Kazumi fled along the coast until they reached the western edge of Pangea. A six month journey. Ryuichi and Kazumi stood before another forest. This one was different from the one in their homeland. This forest held trees of so many colors, it was dizzying to look at. With a nod if encouragement to one another, Ryuichi and Kazumi moved forward into the forest. It was an eerie place. No sounds could be heard and not a single creature could be seen. They continued on, ignoring the wrongness of this weird forest. As night fell, they settled beneath a tree. Both weary and afraid of falling asleep and coming to harm. As they laid there, a purple smoke began to fill the forest. It smelled so sweet and the two boys could not resit its spell. They were soon asleep. When they woke, they found themselves in a small cabin. It was warm and decorated sparsely but with good taste. "Ah, good. You are awake. Welcome to the rainbow forest and my home." A plump woman with blue hair and grey eyes smiled down at them. "My name is Kirishima Dianna. Omiya is my mother." The sound of a door creeping open caught the attention of the two boys. They turned to see a young boy with a mop of brown hair and brown eyes. He stayed hidden in the shadows, obviously shy. "Come on out. It's okay. These boys won't hurt you." Hesitantly, the boy moved out off the shadows and came to stand next to the woman. Taking hold of her skirt. "This is my son, Kei." "He's an Omega." Ryuichi was shocked. "Yes." "How did you keep him safe all these years?" "We have lived in this forest for his entire life. I am the daughter of Omiya and was raised in the place of the Gods and Goddesses along side my older sister. When we grew of enough we came back to this land. My sister had no problems adjusting but I wasn't fond of being around other people. My mother gave me this place. She enchanted it so no one would bother me. When Kei was born, no one could sense him because of the enchantment." Dianna smiled fondly at her son. A deep growl escaped from Kazumi. Before either Ryuichi or Dianna could react, Kazumi was on Kei. He refused to allow either of them near Kei. For a while Ryuichi worried that he would have to fight his friend, then he noticed that Kei was afraid of the Alpha holding him. In fact, the Omega was snuggled into the Alpha and was purring contentedly. That's when it dawned on Ryuichi what was really going on. Kei and Kazumi were mates. That night, the sweet smell of an Omega in heat filled the little cabin. The sound of an aroused Alpha and a well pleasured Omega could be heard as Kazumi and Kei mated. =============================================================================== ~ ===============================================================================   1578, Ten years after the war began. They were losing and they knew it. In a desperate attempt to turn the tide of war in their favor, the soldiers took every Omega that they could find. It mattered not if they sided with the The Parents or the metal creatures. They took the Omegas and slaughtered them. It was the stupidest thing they could have done. Many had sided with the armies because they had never been able to meet The Parents and were brought up on what those in power had taught. But when the armies slaughtered the Omegas, these traitors turned their backs on the armies and returned to the Gods' and Goddesses' loving and forgiving embrace. No matter the lies that had been taught to them, Omegas were always special and deserved the highest respect. Slaughtering them was a crime that couldn't be forgiven. The armies lost their allies. The Gods and Goddesses drove the metal creatures back down to their origins. This time they sealed the pool of liquid metal, preventing the metal creatures from ever leaving there again. The Gods and Goddesses had learned from their past mistakes. What remained of the armies fled. The remaining four families that had been left in power were heavily investigated by the Gods and Goddesses. Those who had proven disloyal, were removed from their ranks and imprisoned. Those who had remained loyal remained as they were. The people gathered with the Gods and Goddesses. It took two years before an agreement was reached. It was decided that a sole family would rule as a Royal Family and have full control over the laws but the people were not to be treated as slaves. There were to be no more lies. The Gods and Goddesses could not go back to the flames in mass. At least five would need to remain in the rest of the world. They were to keep an eye on the Royal Family to prevent any further corruption. The laws damming male Omegas to death were removed and the truth of their origins were revealed to The Children. People were devastated by how foolish they had been. A new capital was named and for the first time in ten years, The Children and The Parents were at peace. However, there was some trouble caused by a rebel fraction firmed by the former armies. It was the only blight on this new world order. ***** August 4th 1584 ***** Twelve years after the war began… August 4th 1584 Asami Ryuichi shook his head as his two best friends pulled him from his apartment. They shoved him into the awaiting carriage, their laughter riding on the night's wind. He knew his two friends were up to something. What, he did not know. Unsure if he would like it, he decided to just go with it. It was his birthday and he was just freshly just twenty four years old. It would be good to enjoy an evening of mischievousness. When they arrived at their destination however, Asami was shocked by what he saw. He had not been expecting his two best friends to take him to a brothel. He turned to Kei and Kazumi with one dark brown raised. The two lovers burst out into laughter. Shoving him up the pink marble steps and into Pangaea's most famous brothel. A young maid lead them to a lush and beautifully decorated room. The three men took their seats, Kei and Kazumi on a comfy little love seat and Asami on a large chair. The maid served them tea and left. Shortly after the maid's departure; a beautiful, elegant woman entered. Kei stood and greeted the woman with a warm hug and a kiss to the cheek. "It is so good to see you again Kei. Kazumi." "You too Aunt Ai. Please, I would like for you to meet Asami Ryuichi. A very dear friend of ours." "Oh, so this is the birthday boy. What a handsome boy. Hello Duke Asami." Ai gave a deep bow. "Please Ai-san, no need to bow." "Your gift is ready." "Yes!" Kei jumped up and down. Excitement filling him. Kazumi pulled Asami up from his seat and shoved him toward the waiting maid. Asami looked at his two friends, confused. They simply grinned in return. Silently, Asami followed the maid. They stopped before tall wooden doors. The maid opened the door and Asami entered a dimly lit room. The room was simple and yet no less beautiful for it. The walls were a soft blue. One wall was taken up by a large white marble fireplace. Dark blue gossamer curtains blew on the night's wind. Asami looked around the room, finding no one. He moved further into the room. A soft sound caught his attention. He turned. There in the corner by the fireplace, was a young boy. Asami inhaled, scenting the boy. Light to the point of almost non existent. A non magical beta then. "Good evening." Asami bowed deeply time the obviously shy boy. "I am Duke Asami Ryuichi. May I have the honor of knowing your name?" The boy shook his head no and mover further into the corner. Carefully, Asami day in a chair where he remained quiet and watched the boy. Minutes passed. The boy moved out from the corner. Slowly making his way closer to Asami. Deciding that the man, Asami, would not hurt him; the boy stopped by the chair. "I'm Akihito." Asami smiled. Akihito was tiny. He had long flowing blond hair. A heart shaped face set with almond shaped eyes, a cute nose and soft lips. "How old are you Akihito?" "Sixteen." "Are you being forced to be here with me?" "No." "Good." =============================================================================== (one week before) Akihito did not feel well. His body was on fire and sweat was pouring off if him. He was seized by another full body cramp. He shook and curled up into a ball. His whimpers were loud and could be heard throughout the mansion. "Akihito!" Ai ran to his side. She lifted his head up from the floor and settled it against her chest. "Here, drink this." She forced a thick red liquid into his mouth. It tasted like apples and cinnamon. It soothed the fire raging through his body and eased his cramps. Soon he was asleep. When he awoke, he was in become and Ai was sitting by his bedside. "What happened?" "You went into year Akihito. As a male Omega, your years are far different than any female's heat. Instead of once a year, you'll go into heat every month. It'll be painful. Deadly. The red potion I gave you is a heat control. You will need to take it everyday to prevent your heat." "Being with an Alpha will help as well. But you are not going to end up with just anybody. That won't help you any. You need your soulmate. But until then…" =============================================================================== (presant) "You don't look like you wish to do this." Asami stood. "It was nice to meet you Akihito." "Wait! Don't leave! I'm sorry." "There is no need to be sorry. It is obvious that you do not wish to do this." "It is not that. I promise. I've just never met anyone other then those who live here with me. Except for the scary soldiers that came here to kill us." Asami frowned. "Are you a prisoner?" "No. This is my home. Those who live here, are my family. Please, will you stay? I'll do better." Asami smiled down at Akihito. "I'll stay if you want me to." "I do!"
