Foxy History Lessons Tyrik sat down at one of the booths within The Ebony Garden Café that the Mythological Six-Eared Macaque owned, fiddling with the amulet that his mother had given him. From what he could recall, roughly around his tenth birthday, the amulet was a gift from her. Oddly, Amari made it quite clear to him that he must always wear it at all times. This particular detail had always rang out to him, as if it was important to hide something about himself. From what he is learning about the world, this gemstone may be the reason why The World of Myths has been hidden from the young adult. The question was now, what was the Stone's purpose and what was it hiding? Hiding him from the world or concealing some truth about his origins. Though, his train of thought was immediately shattered by the sound of a very energetic young teen girl shoving herself before him. With a small yelp of shock and nearly falling out of the booth he sat at, Tyrik came to see that the girl before him was a three-tailed Kitsune possessing fur colored a bright teal. However, there were a lot of grease stains within her fur. Her attire was akin to what would be called a gearhead, wearing a tool belt and welding goggles to signify this detail. Her goggles had different settings for an optical option. Being quite flexible for whatever task she may be confronting. Tyrik had a good look at these goggles since they were literally in his face as the Teenage Kitsune was examining him too closely. "So, you the Humie that is gonna be tagging along with us? Despite being a clear nerd from your Shenon Anime shirt, you oddly have a warrior's body build. Get that naturally or did you work for this set of muscles?" The Kitsune questioned as Tyrik grew more uncomfortable by the second. Soon she sat across from him while removing the goggles, and placing them on her forehead. "Name's Judy Joyce by the way. I'm the gal who often works on Esmeralda's Technical theatrics for her magic shows." She introduced herself as the girl continued her examination from a more comfortable distance. "Though... To have a standard Humie to have suddenly been thrown into the truth of the surrounding world is quite the anomaly... Sure that you don't have prior connections to Euvis, or the hidden kingdom of Camelot, or any of the Divines?" Judy continued, rambling about with little regard for the Secrets of The World. "Camelot like the Kingdom of King Arthur Pendragon? Also, what are Euvis and the Divines that you are talking about?" Tyrik questioned as his eyebrow cocked into a confused state, hoping to use this enthusiasm from the girl to pray out more potentially needed information that Macaque didn't quite fully disclose. Judy smirked as if impressed by Tyrik's quick thinking. "At least you aren't that dumb and are willing to learn, Humie. After all, Human's own ignorance and need to control the world around them are why The Divine took the initiative to create Euvis. Plus concealing leftover Mythics like me and your bud Ricky Santos to protect us." The Gearhead stated, "Let's continue your much-needed crash course about the craziness you are gonna be experiencing. Yes, when I say Camelot, I mean King Pen-jackass' kingdom which he ruled over before the separation of our kind. The Divine is a universal term we Mythics use for The Akers, Olympians, Asiers, and other important figures from you Humie's Myths and Legends." Judy explained nonchalantly while placing her arm on top of the booth seat, "These Myths are mainly the Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Slavic, Norse, Chinese, Japanese, and Hindu groups though. The Abridged Tales regarding Queen Morgan Le Fay, Ego-Merlin, and King Pen-Jackass are basically the last accounts of The Divine and Mythics interacting with Humans." The Three-Tailed Kitsune went on as she then raised a finger, "Hence Euvis. This is the safe haven of most of The Mythics and The Divine themselves. Split into Eight Realms for each Group of The Divine. The Norse Guys take a lot of irritating bragging rights for creating the interdimensional travel between Realms. They are total jackasses by the way, aside from Thor and Loki though. Nice people honestly." Judy went on while recalling her memories with The Asgardian Brothers of Myth and Comics. "Guessing a lot of Myths aren't exactly Lore Accurate from what most modern media has portrayed them to be, huh?" Tyrik joked with a curious smirk as Judy promptly nodded to confirm this suspicion. "Especially when it comes to The Infamous Lightning Whore, Zeus himself... The prick literally is willing to fuck everyone and everything in sight." Judy remarked with a disgusted chill, hoping to never run into the King of Olympus. Tyrik was in full agreement with The Kitsune Girl. "Why do people often make Hades the villain for his job as King of The Underworld? Hell, his relationship with Persephone is one of the healthiest among the Greek Myths despite the accidental kidnapping on Hades' behalf from what I can recall." Tyrik asked aloud as Judy simply shrugged in confusion herself about this. "Anyways, lately humans have been finding ways to reconnect with the Mythic and Divine that bailed on them. Look at the discovery of Arcane Energy by the two major Tech Companies, White Star and Gibbs Industries, for example." The Kitsune ranted on with a minor wave of her hand. "Yet despite all of this! You are still an anomaly! As if you were either handpicked or had a prior connection..." Judy declared as she crossed her arms and glared at Tyrik with a confused expression. "What's your deal, pal? How are you even part of all of this?" The Kitsune pondered as she came to notice the amulet that the human across her was wearing. Judy soon placed her goggles back on while adjusting the lens with a mechanism on the side. 'That Amulet of yours is definitely radiating a lot of Arcane Power, the Rune within the gem seems to be for concealment too if I recall my Nordic Runes correctly...' Judy pondered within her thoughts. With this, The Kitsune Gearhead tried to remove the necklace before a massive surge of energy blasted Judy across the room. Impacting the wall on the other side of the Cafe, cracking it on impact. "Holy Crap! Since when did it do that!?" Tyrik shouted aloud as he stared at his amulet in shock. Upon hearing the literal explosion, Ricky, Macaque, and Esmeralda came downstairs to investigate the source. Tyrik sheepishly glanced away from the three as their judge and confused stares reached him. "I have no idea what happened besides the fox over there attempting to take off my necklace followed by an explosion..." He explained with a timid tone of voice. "... Your necklace created an explosion? Since when did it do that?" Ricky questioned as Esmeralda headed over to the gearhead to check on her wellbeing. Macaque rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration as he declared, "If any of you cause any form of damage to my Cafe... I will be suing you for repairs..." Though as he said this aloud, The Monkey Sorcerer began to hear something off in the distance. A form of surveillance was being done on them. Thankfully, one of the members of this crew was a person he had come to know. 'Guess things are gonna be turning out fine for my plan to get back at The Monkey King...' The Sorcerer plotted within his thoughts with a devious smile hidden from those around.

Encountering Those of Myths The battle between June and Kathleen stood tense as the two clashed with their abilities from their species. Though, Kathleen was on edge while she did battle against the Cobrivite, her petrification powers, as well as her acidic wrist blades. The one thing keeping June's petrification stare at bay was Kathleen's Wisp-O-Miraju Glare. "Quite a hardy vixen, aren't you?" June declared bitterly as Kathleen's claws cloaked in an aura gripped the snake's arm. "I can see why you were chosen to protect the Elven Princess. Though, how long can you keep up your little illusions before you tucker out from my poison?" June snarkily questioned as she looked over the slashes that adorn Kathleen's body despite the magical defensive aura that covered the four-tailed kitsune. After all, a Cobrivite's poison wasn't just acidic, but extremely poisonous to the body.  Kathleen gritted her teeth in defiance despite the condition her body had to endure. "I am naht goin down dat easy, you snake! tell me who de 'ell 'ired you to assassinate Prencess Ravenna! I know you're naht a cheap mercenary to boehy ahn a whem. Sahmeone 'ad sahme really deep pahckets moehst 'ave 'ired a fighter like you lady![I am not going down that easy, you snake! Tell me who the hell hired you to assassinate Princess Ravenna! I know you're not a cheap mercenary to buy on a whim. Someone had some really deep pockets must have hired a fighter like you lady!]" Kathleen interrogated as she threw out her claw to strike at her right side as June quickly blocked the attack before sucker punching Kathleen's gut with incredible brute force. Resulting in Ms. Carney slamming into a nearby wall, cracking it on impact. Kathleen spat out blood from her mouth as she wiped her muzzle clean from this. "Figured you wahn't give away yooehr emplahyer... Guess i gahtta beat it ooeht o' you, viper! Comb ahn den![Figured you won't give away your employer... Guess I gotta beat it out of you, viper! Come on then!]" Kathleen shouted in a cocky manner, but she knew that may be a fruitless endeavor as her body felt like it would give out at any moment from the punishment inflicted upon the four-tailed kitsune. June extended her blades with an arrogant grin, her fangs showing as mockingly scoffed. "I can tell that you're a bluffing fox. Any second now you are gonna pass out from my poison and I will be able to track down the Princess without any further interference." The Cobrivite announced as she walked towards the down Kitsune with a menacing stare from her eyes, tail sliding upon the ground creating an intimidating sound. Kathleen's mind raced to figure out a means of escape from the deadly Assassin before her, yet her options were limited given her current condition from their fight. Though, from the corner of her eye, Kathleen noticed the shadows coming to life and moving towards Malbec quietly. Soon they formed into a group of shadow monkeys with Six Ears and a scar on their right eyes. Quickly June tried to fight them off as Kathleen snarled in irritation at who was bailing her out. "Gahd damn it, Sixer... I dedn't need your flarkin 'elp...[God Damn It, Sixer... I didn't need your Flarking help...]" The Kitsune announced as June has slammed onto the ground thanks to the swarm of Shadow Monkeys as one approached Kathleen. "Yeah, yeah. I am aware, Carney." The Shadow announced with a snarky smile, "But you definitely needed it this time. Nice seeing you, Babe." The Monkey announced as he help Kathleen up before teleporting them both to Ebony Peach Garden Cafe. As the Shadow brought Kathleen to the Cafe, Esmeralda, and her group arrived as well. The Chinese Man behind the counter smiled upon everyone's arrival. "Welcome back, Princess. Good to see you found your boyfriend." The man announced with a sly grin.  Esmeralda quickly blushed as she threw a random object at him due to her flustered state. "No Spoilers, Malik!" She declared with a puff of frustration. "What do you mean by that? We aren't even dating... Plus we just met. I don't see how you think we are a couple..." Tyrik said aloud and absent-mindedly as he scratched his cheek before Ricky cleared his throat to snap him out of his mumbling state. The last thing Ty needed was to embarrass himself any further with his dorky demeanor. Esmeralda soon noticed how injured Kathleen was. Quickly rushing over to use her magic to heal her mother figure and bodyguard. As the two took their seat at one of the tables to heal the kitsune woman. Malik headed over to the front door of the Cafe to display that it was now closed for the day with a small sigh. "So... I am guessing you want some answers regarding your newfound situation. Am I right, Tyrik?" Malik asked as he turned to the newbie among the supernatural.  He was quick to nod and answer the question, yet Malik was surprised to see that the kid wasn't scared. He was indeed excited by all of this despite the new dangers that would plague Tyrik's life in the future. "Wow. You really seem eager to have your own Superhero story, huh?" Malik laughed as he placed a hand on his side with a small grin. "Keep in mind, this isn't as fun as the media has shown these scenarios to be Kid." The middle-aged adult advised the youngster before him. Malik then gestures for Tyrik to follow him into another room. "Is there a reason why we are going to another room for me to be informed about all of this?" Tyrik asked with a confused expression on his face. "Because some of the stuff I'm gonna show you needs to be private, kid. Thought that be obvious considering what I have heard about your knowledge of fiction." Malik joked with a small smirk as he looked back at the youngster who laughed nervously due to the oversight on his behalf. Though, the term Heard stood out to Tyrik.  'Wait... Heard? What the hell do you mean by that? I don't think we have met or know someone who would be able to inform you about me...' Tyrik questioned with his thoughts as he followed the cafe waiter into a private office that belonged to him. Across the room, many Chinese artworks, items, and statues styled the office. Most depictions within the art featured the battle between Sun Wukong and his Shadow Sorcerer Rival. This was The Six-Eared Macaque, Liùěr Míhóu. This detail really intrigued Tyrik as he began to recall a detail regarding the Monkey Sorcerer. "Let me guess. You're really Liùěr Míhóu aren't you?" The Nerd announced with a confident smile as Malik was quite impressed by his observation skills. "You pick up that faster than I had expected... What gave me away, exactly?" Questioned Malik as he pondered this detail himself with a raised eyebrow. "First off, Ebony Peach Garden? A clear sign there. Secondly, you said you heard about me when I doubt you met anyone who knows me... Mainly because I don't make friends that well..." Tyrik announced with a sheepish tone before continuing, "Finally, the art within the room mostly focused on you and Wukong." Tyrik explained simply as Malik laughed at the intelligence he had while morphing back to his normal state. "Damn, you ARE good." Macaque announced with a smile. "Now. Onto the bigger details. So, the basics are that The Stories of Myth is more real than most Humans give them credit for. The reason why beings like myself, Esmeralda, Kathleen, and that Malbec Assassin don't show ourselves is because Humans take their "fear for what could not be understood" to extreme levels." Macaque went on while using his Shadow Magic to create a video of shorts, explaining this history. "Eventually, the Olympians, Aesirs, Akers*, and other deities within both Chinese and Japanese Mythologies forged a world dubbed Euvis roughly during the period where King Arthur ruled over Britain." He went on as his tail flickered about, seeing how captivated Tyrik was by this story.  "But... What's with that gem Ricky has?" Tyrik questioned as he recalled the mention of Arcane Energy before the Cobrivite attacked. "I am assuming that it is incredibly important to all of this, right?" Questioned the human before Macaque as he was once again impressed by Tyrik. "You're a fast learner, aren't you? Makes this way easier for me." The Monkey laughed before he confirmed, "Yeah. That is an Arcane Crystal. Basically Crystalized Magical Energy. Arcane Energy has been named many things throughout history. Like Chi, Chakra, Mana, and so forth. A Crystal is far more potent than a person who has it. Depending on the person though." Macaque elaborated.  "Kind of like a Saiyan and their Chi?" Tyriked asked to help himself gain an understanding of what Macaque was discussing. Macaque nodded as he went on, "Yeah like that. Some have more Arcane Energy within themselves compared to another. If a person has enough Arcane within them, they can use Magic for many things. Mainly spell casting of course." The Monkey announced before he heard someone breaking some plates, extremely hurting his sensitive hearing. With a quick grumble, Macaque got up from his desk. "There is something about you that I can't yet put my finger on, Kid." Macaque announced as he glanced over to Tyrik. "Maybe you would figure out that is before I could. After all, most Super Hero Stories tend to have the main hero discover their true power on their own while trying to protect someone they care about." He told Tyrik, who was quite confused by this vague statement and what it entailed. *Akers are basically The Gods from Egyptian Mythology like Horus, Ra, Set, and Osiris

Fantasy Within Reality? Tyrik was in utter awe of what had been revealed, even if he did not have the full picture of what was laid out before him. Most people would have some kind of crisis if their sense of what was normal was completely flipped around and tossed into a massive shredder. Yet, for Tyrik, it was not the case due to being a massive fan of Marvel and Shonen Jump Anime, like Dragon Ball and My Hero Academia. "This is so damn Cool!!!" He shouted with pure joy, to the dismay of Esmeralda as she tried to shut the nerd. They were practically being hunted by a snake lady mercenary. Tyrik's excitement would just make it easier for the Cobrivite to track them. Upon realizing this, he nervously chuckled before looking over to Ricky for some kind of advice on how they should proceed.  The Elven woman sighed with a small smile on her face. She was grateful that Tyrik wasn't gonna be a burden as the human tried to wrap his head around the new kind of crazy he had just unknowingly entered. However, Esmeralda just hoped that it wasn't his excitement that was gonna screw them over now. "Good to see that you are willing to adapt to the weirdness that is gonna be following you around more often, Ty." She stated while conjuring a spell with a wave of her hand, manipulating the plant life around her to hopefully buy them some time to escape before The Cobrivite could follow. Esmeralda has heard a bit about the Snake that was tracking them and she had a good reputation under her belt. Yet she wasn't a cheap mercenary to simply hire out of the blue as well. Once the spell had completed its task, Esmeralda gestured for both Ricky and Tyrik to stay close to her as they made their escape. "But do try to keep that excitement of yours in check. Not many know about the... 'Secret Fantasy World' that lives alongside what is considered to be normal after all." She advised Tyrik was quick to catch on to what Ms. Ravenna meant. "We are talking about a Percy Jackson Scenario, right?" Tyrik immediately tried to compare what was happening to some form of fiction within his database of stories. "Something is telling me I am gonna be the group's Izuku for Fiction instead of superhero powers..." He promptly announced with an ashamed glance, after all his love of various forms of fiction was just seen as weird which lead to why he was so antisocial. Most saw this love for SciFi and Fantasy stories to be odd. And if you dared to not conform to what was normal, society would do everything to force you to be. Rather you liked it or not. Though, to his surprise, Esmeralda was stunned by the comparison and even seemed happy that Tyrik was a fan of the series too. "Kind of like that actually. In more ways than one too, Tyrik." She explained as Tyrik couldn't help but blush at her smile. "We can fill you in later. For now, we need to make sure that we can escape Malbec as Kathleen buys us time..." The Elf explained as Ricky did his best to stay close by. "I have a plan and place for us to lay low until she gets back to us."  "Sure that your Kitsune Bodyguard can handle the Cobrivite?" Asked Ricky as they made their way into the large crowd of people that filled the streets of New York. "I haven't seen one before and from what I have heard about Cobrivites, they are quite nasty to fight against..." The Kapre announced as Esmeralda was quick to reassure the two about Kathleen's ability to handle herself.  "Kitsune? Like the Magical Multi-Tailed Fox, Kitsune?" Tyrik immediately questioned in amazement. Esmeralda was quick to confirm this suspicion as Tyrik's excitement continued to grow, even though he should be taking the situation way more seriously than he is.  "My first day in my own fantasy storyline and I have met an Elf Woman, a Kitsune, and a Kapre..." He announced as Tyrik tried to pin down where he had heard about Kapres before.  Ricky quickly rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration at this. "Dude... THIS is why I told you to hold your questions until later, man..." The Filipino declared as Tyrik grew to be quite sheepish by his childish demeanor.  Esmeralda however found this kind of cute, but it was clear she agreed with Ricky's thoughts about this. Right now wasn't the time nor place to geek out, as their life was endangered by two sets of threats. June Malbec and the potential surprise assault from the company, White Star Corporation. Unlike Gibbs Industry, White Star was known among others like herself and Ricky to capture them as well as relating items for an unknown reason. Part of it was to keep the false sense of what is normal permanent as most Humans tend to hate things that were unexplainable. Yet, it was becoming clear to not be their only motive as of late. The best way to hide from both attackers was to blend in with the mass of people who were truly unaware of the secret world that lived among them. Hiding in Plain Sight does have its set of perks more often than not after all.  "Sorry... It is kind of a habit to overanalyze things on my behalf..." Tyrik had bitterly admitted as he rubbed the back of his neck. "So... Where are we heading to?" He promptly asked as Esmeralda did her best to ensure that they weren't being followed by unwanted company. "It is a small cafe called The Ebony Peach Garden. A friend of mine runs the place and has been my go-to person for things like this." Esmeralda declared with a voice of reassurance. "Though... Kathleen would not be exactly happy that we are going to him for help." She stated that a sense of tension was quickly picked up by Ricky and Tyrik.  "Do we want to know?" Ricky bitterly asked as he placed his hands into his pockets with a small huff. "Or are we gonna regret asking this person for help?" He threw on as Tyrik smacked him upside the head. Even though Ricky realizes his minor pessimistic attitude was not helping their situation. It wasn't fun when Tyrik did this to remind him of that. "I am not exactly sure why they can't get along and they won't tell me anything..." Esmeralda announced as they entered a train station to make the trip quicker, at least hopefully. "Yet, he has been quite helpful while I was getting familiar with this world. He even was the one who suggested the idea of taking up the career of a Magician Gal." She declared while giving Tyrik a flirtatious wink to mess with him, which was indeed super effective on her behalf. 'OK... She is definitely not gonna let that go anytime soon...' Tyrik thought to himself as the dorky guy tried to hide his blushing face from his IRL Waifu. It was a mixed set of feelings for Tyrik. He felt like Esmeralda would never fall for a nobody like himself, but at the same time. Tyrik held onto hope that he had a chance with a stunning woman like Esmeralda, even if it was a dream that wouldn't come to reality. "Simp!" Ricky quickly shouted to Tyrik's dismay as Esmeralda laughed at this playful exchange between the two friends. Off in the distance within a Coffee Shop adorning the title of Ebony Peach Garden. A Chinese Man with black hair accompanied by a small beard upon his chin, a scar over his right eye, and a body built suited for a martial artist was smirking at the sounds of a playful exchange of a growing companionship. "Looks like Princess Ravenna of Avalon has found her soon-to-be Dragon Knight. Let's hope he is gonna be able to handle what is coming his way." He bitterly muttered as various sounds plagued his mind. His ears were quite unique among others like himself. They were able to hear what was, that are, and things that have yet to be. Some of them reminded him of a terrifying power from a distant past that would devour the future. A Dark Power that once haunted the world's past and destroyed someone he had once cared for.

Goodbye Normality! "I always hate dealing with you tricky kitsunes... Thankfully I have managed to develop some upgrades for my armor to deal with that Glare you have." The Cobrivite Woman declared with narrowed eyes as the razor-sharp blades extended from the armor's gauntlets. They appeared to be dripping with some form of poison as the snake swung her arms at both Esmeralda and Kathleen. Despite the weirdness and sudden battle that began to transpire between Tyrik and Ricky. Tyrik was quick on his feet as he snatched the Cobrivite's strike, managing to combat the unnatural strength that the woman possessed. Yet, she hissed in anger before Tyrik was grabbed by his face and slammed into a wall. Shattering the wall upon impact as he then felt a large tail grabbing his ankle, gripping it tightly to the point that the bone would be shattered from the pressure placed onto it. "Surprised that a meager Human can actually see me..." The Snake Woman pondered aloud before a powerful fireball had impacted her back. Thankfully, the armor that she had adorned was able to tank the powerful flames. Esmeralda had her hand in the air, a mystical circle of energy fading away from the magician's pyro spell. "Your deal is with me, Corbivite... Wanna tell me who hired you to come after me, June Malbec?" The Woman ordered with a glare, bracing herself for battle as she began to conjure another spell. "I have heard about your talents before. You have quite the reputation for assassinations accustomed for the run-in-the-mill mercenary." She announced as June did not reply to the questioning given to her. Just responded by using her own tail to swing Tyrik against both Kathleen and Esmerelda like a baseball bat as he yelped in a panic.  Thankfully, Esmerelda was quite quick to catch the unfortunate human bat with her magic. Yet, she was not fast enough to respond against the follow-up attack from the Cobrivite as June trusted her blades at Ravenna. Though, both Ricky and Kathleen caught the snake assassin off guard as they teamed up to sucker punch the Cobrivite. Knocking her onto the ground with great force as she grunted in pain before performing a backflip to get back onto her feet. Her tail makes a loud thud upon hitting the ground, hissing in rage before roaring with her venomous fangs shown. 'Ok... What kind of crazy did I just enter... Also, why is Ricky so unphased by the fact that a buff snake woman wearing some kind of Shredder Power Armor is attacking us???' The Asian American screamed inside of his thoughts as he soon came to notice the elven ears that... "Wait... Esmeralda, are you an elf!?" He questioned loudly as everyone around him looked quite miffed that THIS was what his priorities were at currently. "Let's fahcoehs ahn naht gettin kell, Doehmbass!!![Let's focus on not getting killed, Dumbass!!!]" The Irish woman scolded as June took advantage of Kathleen being distracted. Thankfully, Ms. Carney was able to dodge this before revealing her Kitsune form. Her fur was a bright magenta and exposed a total of four tails behind her. Her eyes glowed with power as a set of runes formed around them. "Nice try lady. now me toehrn to keck yooehr scaly ass!" The Fox Woman announced as blue flames engulf her claws as Ricky grabbed both Tyrik and Esmeralda. "Best to get you two away from that Lady as Kathleen holds the snake off." He declared, surprising Tyrik with how strong Ricky was. Tyrik knew that Ricky had never taken a trip to the gym and he didn't support the physical build to be able to carry two people between his arms as Ricky jumped through the window and landed on the ground from a great height without injury. "Keep all of your questions about what is happening for later Ty. I know you have A LOT of them right now..." Santos declared as Esmeralda elbowed Ricky in his face. It was clear that she was annoyed that she was being treated like someone's carry-on. This resulted in Ricky dropping both of them as he covered his nose, checking if it was broken or not. "Asshole... Save your own life next time, Princess..." The Filipino announced in frustration as Esmeralda got up from the ground. Dusting herself off and using a spell to clean her clothes from the rainwater and other disgusting items on the alleyway floor. "I am more than capable of doing that Kapre..." Esmeralda spat as she crossed her arms with a hard stare toward Ricky. Raising even more questions for the normie among these supernatural supers. Though, Tyrik knew that this wasn't the time to get any answers despite his eagerness to learn more about this secret world that he was living next to the entire time.

True Mystical Power Without saying, The Show made possible by Esmeralda was quite the experience for all attending. Ricky saw that his best pal was in a better mood thanks to his endeavors. Which in turn pleased him that he achieved his goal for the day. Though, The Filipino soon began to notice that Ty was a bit on edge. He believed that they were being followed by something or someone as the two headed over to Esmeralda's temporary residents located at the Radisson Hotel. Oddly, Esmeralda was quite fond of Ty and his dorky demeanor. After all, most girls see a dorky demeanor as attractive... Or Ricky so far believed that to be the case. "So, think Esmeralda is gonna give you her number, lucky man?" Ricky announced smugly as he elbowed Tyrik. "Dude... I doubt she had that much of an interest in me..." Tyrik announced as he rearranged his jacket a bit, which was a nervous tick of his. "Though, I think it would be nice if that did happen." He added on before reflecting back on his experience being Ms. Ravenna's Assistant on stage. Most of her performances seem to feel like true living magic than smoke and mirrors. Hell, Tyrik indeed Knew that the opening act was real. He truly was transformed into an actual tiger. There was no other explanation for this to have been pulled off. Other tricks she performed, upon closer observation, lack any of the common items magicians have while being too realistic. 'Is Esmeralda an ACTUAL Magic User or Witch?' The Asian Young Adult thought to himself. 'Plus... What are those snake people I have been seeing lately? With the weaponry that they have, especially that Cobra Shredder Gal, has seemed to be suited for a battle against some kind of powerhouse...' He thought to himself in great detail. He also went over sources like Marvel, Sonic the Hedgehog, Lord of The Rings, and other related media to draw some kind of understanding of what is happening... Though, it may be another case of proving the statement 'If you don't go looking for Trouble. Trouble won't go looking for you.' entirely wrong.  "So, what is your idea of why Esmeralda wanted to see us in person? It isn't every day that a celebrity asks for a specific fan for a meet and greet you know..." Ricky added on with a raised eyebrow to express the current confusion that was in the air between the two. It was indeed true for most cases for this to be out of place. Yet, Tyrik didn't want to think about this as much as Ricky desired to. Personally, he wanted to make the best of the situation as he could before waking up from a potentially very pleasant dream. Soon the duo entered the Radisson and promptly approached the customer service desk with bated breath, mostly on Tyrik's behalf. "Excuse me, Sir. I am here to see Ms. Esmeralda Ravenna. Name is Tyrik Kage and Ricky Santos..." The Timid young adult explained to the clerk as he rolled over to the desk's monitor to double-check the given information. Oddly though, Tyrik's sense of smell began to detect an odd aroma. Tyrik looked around to search for the scent, hoping to locate the two snake humanoids before their plan could be carried out. "Ay!" Shouted a feminine and thick Irish Accent from a newcomer, "Guessin you were de ahnes Mess Esmeralda 'ad invited over.[Guessing you were the ones Miss Esmeraldahad invited over.]" The woman announced as she placed a hand on her hip with a small smile. As Ricky and Tyrik turned over to her, they came to see a very intimidating woman with a build that seems like she could break you in half without any effort. Her hair dropped to her mid-neck and adorn a classy three-piece suit accompanied by a knee-length skirt. It was surprising to see that the woman's muscular build hasn't torn through the tight set of professional that she wore.  Her coloring had a mix of dark blue with traces of purple. Her hair seemed to be tied with the color of a dark shade of magenta. Though, she surprisingly need to wear a set of rectangle glasses which suggested she was just as smart as strong. "Me name is Kathleen Carney. Shahrt explanation, I serve as Esmeralda's show manager. Ahccasionally 'er caretaker too when she isn't bein respahnseble...[My name is Kathleen Carney. Short explanation, I serve as Esmeralda's show manager. Occasionally her caretaker too when she isnt being responsible...] Whech is very annahyin to deal wit... [Which is very annoyingto deal with...]" Ms. Carney exclaimed while rubbing the bridge of her nose. Though, after calming herself quickly a soft mutter was heard by the young Asian American. "'Ahpefoehlly, she knows what she's doin wit you two...[Hopefully she knows what she's doing with you two...]" The Irish bodybuilder announced as Tyrik wondered what Kathleen meant by this. "Now, please fahllow me. I'll be takin you bot to ooehr room at dis doehmp.[Now, please follow me. Ill be taking you both to our room at this dump.]" She ordered with a small hand gesture. Neither Tyrik nor Ricky dared to attempt to disobey her, which is mainly for the obvious physical disadvantages they had against this woman. Though, as soon they had departed for the floor and room number. Tyrik once again saw the two snake humans close behind yet Kathleen stopped in her tracks while taking off her glasses in pure annoyance. With a small glance behind her, a flash of dark pink energy within her eyes shined. Tyrik felt his eyes briefly hurt from this glare. Heck, both Ricky and himself felt a major migraine before Kathleen placed her glasses back on. Looking behind himself one more time, Tyrik saw that the two seemed to be frozen in place as if the two were trapped within their own minds as they entered the elevator. Tyrik's sense of what was real and fantasy seemed to be turning on its head as he listen to the hum of the elevator through between the various floor of the hotel building. Though, Kathleen looked back at him with a sense of concern visible on her face. "You doin ahk, yooehng man? Need anythin befahre we meet wit Mess Ravenna?[You doing ok, young man? Need anything before we meet with Miss Ravenna?]" Miss Carney asked as she went into her suit's pockets for some kind of medication. "I would actually need some Ibuprofen if you have it..." Ricky announced while he rubbed his forehead, "Got a killer headache all of a sudden..." He added on as Kathleen quickly pulled out a bottle of said medication and handed the Filipino a pair of pills. As Ricky gladly took the pair of pills from her, it was quickly followed by quite upsetting news. "Oehnfahrtunately, I dahn't 'ave a bahttle o' water ahn 'and. You're gahnna need to take it wethooeht anythin to wash it down.[Unfortunately, I don't have a bottle of water on hand. You're gonna need to take it without anything to wash it down.]" The Irish woman announced coldly as she placed the bottle of meds within her suit once more. Ricky made a very audible grumble as he chucked the pills down his throat, hoping that they don't get stuck in his throat. Though, there wasn't much success as he began to comedically choke while trying to force the meds down his gullet. Rising concern from Tyrik while Kathleen couldn't help but snicker at this. Though, this was quick to come to a close as the elevator came to the desired floor as Ricky cleared his throat from the painful experience. "I'm ok... I'm ok..." The Filipino announced with a flustered smile and a wave of his hand.  "Sure, Ricky... We believe that..." Tyrik drying declared while patting his shoulder to help ease the pain. Shortly afterward, they reached room number 117 as Kathleen used the room's key to allow them to enter inside.  With a loud knock upon a nearby wall, Kathleen shouted aloud; "Mess Ravenna! Yooehr guests are 'ere! Make sure whatever you wanted frahm dese two quick...[Miss Ravenna! Your Guests are here! Make sure whatever you wanted from these two quick...]" Kathleen announced before heading over to a drawer and pulling out a small whisky container to take a swig of the alcohol within. "Coming!!!" Shouted the famed Magician as she tripped over a few things after coming out of the shower. "Meant to do that..." Esmeralda announced as she readjusted her hair from the recent crash. Though, she was still in her magician attire oddly enough as Tyrik couldn't help but check her out a bit. "Nice seeing you again, Tyrik. Thank you for coming." Ravenna announced with a warm smile as Tyrik couldn't help but rubbed the back of his neck in a flustered manner. "It's no big deal, honestly..." He began with a small chuckle before turning a bit serious, "Though... Why did you want to see me? After all, you're quite popular and I'm just some random nobody to you..." He bitterly admitted as Esmeralda clearly began to show uncertainty regarding how to address the upcoming details. "So... I hope you keep an open mind about what is to be announced..." The Vietnamese woman announced before growing quite serious with her words. "But have you heard of Arcane Energy before?" She asked aloud with narrowed eyes as Tyrik thought over the question carefully. "Isn't that the newfound energy that corporations like White Star and Gibbs Industries have recently discovered across the world lately?" Ricky questioned, unsure where this was heading. Tyrik was also confused by this had to do with him and Ricky. After all, Tyrik wasn't a believer in this new energy. After all, the name alone suggested it was some kind of magic. Which wasn't at all real... 'On second thought... It doesn't sound that unrealistic anymore considering Esmeralda...' Tyrik came to realize within his thoughts. "What about it exactly?" Questioned Tyrik as he pondered where this was heading. Beginning to fiddle with a necklace he had worn, it was an amulet given to him by his mother. With a frustrated sigh, Kathleen spoke up; "De cahmpany, White Star Cahrporation, 'as been 'oehntin down anyone wit an Arcane Gem ahn 'and. Anyone captured by dem 'aven't been seen again.[The company, White Star Corporation, has been hunting down anyone with an Arcane Gem on hand. Anyone captured by them havent been seen again.]" Kathleen then glanced over to Ricky with a cold smile as she rested her head against her hand, "We believe dat might send to grab you bot." The Irish Bodybuilder finished off as she gestured with her eyes towards Tyrik messing with the odd gemstone that was attached to the necklace, adoring a set of runes engraved into the gem. However, Kathleen did not have the opportunity to ask more about the gem as the sound of metal doors being thrown off their hinges crashed through the hallways outside the hotel room. "Crap! De Cahbrivite brahke free o' me illusion faster dan I Dooehght! We need to get ooeht o' 'ere Now![Crap! The Cobrivite brake freed of my Illusion faster than I thought! We need to get out of here Now!]" Declared Kathleen in pure shock as Esmeralda was stunted by what the Irish Woman Stated aloud. "Cobrivite!? And You Didn't think to tell me!?" Scolded Esmeralda as Tyrik and Ricky were left confused by what the hell a Cobrivite was in the first place. Before the question could be made, the arm of a Cobrivite smashed through the door. Adorning razor-sharp blades upon the gauntlets that barely came through Ricky's back as he shouted in fright from the sudden attack. With another yank of the arm, the door was ripped off the hinges as the cobra woman walked in. The expression clearly showed that she was enraged by the stunt from earlier. "Time to finish the job, Princess..." The Cobra woman declared with a venomous hiss as the blades extended further as the Snake took on a battle stance. Readying herself for a fight ahead.

A Magic Show, Unlike Any Other As one would expect of a very famous live performance, the seats of Radio Music Hall were absolutely packed to the brim with people that were quite eager to have the show begin. Thankfully, Ricky had managed to reserve our placement within the audience near the front row. For me, I had ensured I brought some earplugs since being surrounded by extremely loud sounds has tended to overwhelm me. The last thing I wanted was for me to have a panic attack during the show. "Excited bud?" Questioned my best friend as he nudged me playfully. "If you're lucky, you may be chosen for one as the assistant for the magic tricks the lady has for tonight." He added on with quite a smudged smile as I couldn't help but blush at the idea.  "Don't you think you have already drawn out the teasing about my crush on Esmeralda?" I asked with an annoyed smile as the lights within the auditorium and the loudspeakers sparked to life. "Ladies and Gentlemen! Bahys and Girls! As well as ooehr members o' de LGBTQ Cahmmunity![Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and Girls! As well as our members of the LGBTQ Community!]" The announcer sounded off with a woman with a thick Irish Accent, "Prepare to 'ave yooehr perception o' reality as you know changed! Place yooehr 'ands tahgether fahr de Mystical Esmeralda Ravenna!!![Prepare to have your perception of reality as you know it Change! Place your hands together for the Mystical Esmeralda Ravenna!!!]" The Woman declared as a cloud of what seemed to be of the night sky with stars among the smoke. As the twilight smoke cleared out, a stunningly beautiful young woman bowed before the crowd with her tophat in her left hand. Esmeralda's outfit wore definitely fits the role of a Magician Performer. Esmeralda herself was quite fit, her outfit highlighting the toned figure and the modest bust she adorned. The lighting allowed her slightly tanned skin to shine perfectly as it appears to radiate a mystical aura. For a split second, the magician's eyes glowed with a purple aura as Esmeralda flung her hand into the air dramatically. With that, a flock of doves flew from her hands into the crowd that was captivated by this display. She then promptly twirled around like a ballet dancer, allowing her elegant long brunette hair to fly. Adding onto her opening pose. To finish her dramatic entrance, she tips her tophat with a lovely smirk while Esmeralda places a hand on her hips. "Hello, people of New York! Are you ready for the show that will leave you in awe and breathless!?" She asked as The Vietnamese woman snapped her fingers as the crowd shouted in excitement. With a small giggle, Esmeralda placed her tophat back on before clasping her hands together: "That is what I like to hear. Though, for my opening act. I have planned a little something different yet quite common among magic shows." She went on while readjusting her hair to be placed behind her shoulder. Off to the side of the stage, Esmeralda waved towards her crew to gesture for them to bring a cloaked box over. The item itself seemed quite large in size and appeared to be meant to hold animals such as a wolf, tiger, or crocodile. These suspensions were quickly confirmed as Ms. Ravenna pulled off the sheet which covered the item to be a large cage that zookeepers tend to use. "You know that some acts have a moment where the magician transforms their assistant into an animal like a tiger, for example." Esmeralda went on before acting like she was thinking about something. "Yet, I seem to be indeed lacking said assistance." Esmeralda plainly stated as she looked among the large crowd before searching within her suit for something. "Maybe some lucky person among the audience might be chosen to help with my act." She announced with a smile as she pulled out a small sheet as people among the seats held their breaths. Awaiting to see if they were the ones selected. 'Considering my luck,' Tyrik began to speak within his thoughts, 'Doubtful I would be the lucky one to help her out. On top of that, this woman is way out of my league. She looks absolutely beautiful in that outfit...' The pessimistic young adult thought to himself as he leaned against the arm of his seat. After all, Valerie had shattered a lot of his confidence. He had quite a passion for art and writing. That was long gone after the relationship was shown to be nothing but a means to use him as a tool. "Can the one seated in the first Mezzanine, Row F, and Number 208 please come to the stage?" Esmeralda announced with enthusiasm as she looked among the audience. Immediately everyone looked at their seats in a reactionary manner. Ricky promptly smacked the one next to him, due to Tyrik being lost in his thoughts. "Ty! That's your seat dude!" The Filipino declared as Tyrik was shocked to hear this before double-checking his seat number to confirm this. Yet, this was HIS seat to his surprise as Tyrik then rushed up to the stage. Well, not before comedically tripping over himself while panicking to stabilize himself so he didn't fall onto his face. The crowd's laughter really didn't help Tyrik's nervous demeanor as he slightly laughed himself to calm down. Once everything had settled, he made his way onto the stage with a clear blush of embarrassment on his face. However, Esmeralda giggled at Tyrik's dorky antics as she then gave him a small kiss on his cheek to reassure him. "Don't worry about them. Franky, I have seen worse." She announced as Esmeralda cleaned Tyrik up before gesturing for him to face the crowd. "So, what is your name lucky guest?" She asked while placing a hand on the flustered dork's shoulder.  After rubbing the back of his neck, Tyrik cleared his throat as he told her: "My name is Tyrik Kage, Miss." He then smiled widely before announcing, "I am a huge fan of yours by the way. I can't believe that I'm meeting you in person for the first time, Esmeralda!" Yet, his eagerness received a laugh from the crowd as the Magician smiled warmly. "Always happy to excite my fans. Now, may you step into the cage for me?" She requested as Esmeralda opened the door to the said cage. "It will help with the performance, handsome." Ms. Ravenna announced with a flirty wink and an ooh from the crowd. Tyrik nodded as he took off his jacket and earplugs before entering. Once inside, Esmeralda closed the door and locked it in place. "Ok in there, Tyrik?" The Vietnamese Magician asked as Tyrik nodded as he pondered what is gonna happen next. 'Surprised she is using an actual cage for this... Though, I bet she is gonna use some trick of the eye to switch me with an animal or something...' He reasoned as the cover was placed back onto the cage. The sheet was quite thick and was impossible to see outside or inside with it covering the cage. Even though he couldn't make out the words from outside, he feel a sudden surge of massive energy flow through him as Tyrik fell onto the floor. His body truly felt like it was changing dramatically by some unknown force as orange and black fur grew over him. Tyrik's voice slowly change from slight pleasured moans into soft growls belonging to a tiger. Swiftly, his body morphed into the mighty feline with auditable sounds of his bone shifting to suit the form. Thankfully, his clothes had disappeared and prevented them from being torn apart by the metamorphosis Tyrik was experiencing. With the removal of the sheet, Tyrik couldn't help but roar with force within his voice. Showing off the power and pride of the Mighty Feline Jungle Hunter.  The audience was absolutely astonished by this display as they cheered. Tyrik was surprised by Esmeralda's abilities, he knew that they were no less than real magic. Like the one from fantasy stories or Marvel Comics. Yet, he wasn't afraid of this. He really admired Esmeralda's talents and wished to learn more about her. However, Tyrik saw amongst the crowd the same snake woman. The woman seemed to be examining Esmeralda and her talents as he noticed the massive blades upon the cobra woman's armor. Why would this snake lady be here? And what was she planning with the heavy-duty weaponry that she possessed? It was quite clear, it wasn't gonna be something he would want to get in the middle of...

The Beginning of A Mystical Tale "Hey, Ty! How long are you gonna take, man?" Questioned my best friend and roommate, Ricky. Even if I did not like the notion of rushing my appearance. Yet he did have a point regarding my slow pace. After all, we had both bought tickets to see a magic show that had just arrived in town. The main star was a famous female magician who stole the spotlight unexpectedly known as The Mystical Esmeralda. "We need to get going soon if you want to see your not-so-secret real-life waifu girl in person." He teased with a smudged smirk on his face. Upon hearing this, a deep red blush formed on my face as I grabbed my jacket. A bit of information regarding myself, my name is Tyrik Kage, and I am a Japanese American. My mother was a well-known private investigator named Amari. For what I look like, I was your standard young adult guy with teal highlights within my black short hair that was styled to give me a somewhat 'cool guy' look. Though, in truth, I was just some comic and anime geek who likes to play video games with Ricky. I was somewhat socially awkward, unfortunately, due to my autism, leaving Ricky, my only true friend, throughout my years going through school. I tend to wear a themed T-shirt mixed with blue jeans and basic shoes. Yet, even if I didn't care about my clothing. I did try to look interesting in other aspects. Ricky, though, was a Filipino who managed to move to the US back when he was seven. He had messy brown hair and decent taste in style, even though he would look like he was a slacker you wouldn't want with you. His attire was a collared shirt with a vest over it, matched with dress pants and stylish shoes. Ricky had on a few necklaces and piercings on his right ear. His body build was a bit chubby yet displayed that he did take visits to the gym, though they were a bit far between to actually call him fit. Surprisingly, we shared a lot of common interests, and he helped me open up... Well, until recently, due to being used by my first girlfriend, Valerie... To put it simply, she was the high school's darling and lead cheerleader. But when she asked me to prom I did not think much of it until I discovered that Valerie just wanted me for my body and pulled a stunt that made me the school's laughing stock from freshman year to senior year... Thankfully, all of that was in the past, and I have managed to move on from these events, at least mostly.  For what and who we were heading out to see was a magic show, Ricky's suggestion full-heartedly, at The Radio City Music Hall. Most of all, the main star of the show was The Mystical Esmeralda Ravenna, a World Famous Magician. Those who have witnessed her performance have remarked that her magic was one of the most realistic live performances of "mystical tricks." Though, I highly doubt that Esmeralda was using real magic like Percy Jackson or Lord of The Rings. After all, magic isn't a real thing. "By the way, did you make sure to get our train tickets to the music hall?" Questioned Ricky as we headed out of our apartment. "I am not exactly fond of walking in the city of New York... These walkways are really damn crowded. It's far more than I had envisioned, too, when I was trying to move into the country, ya know." The Filipino added as he rubbed the back of his neck.  "Relatable, honestly. Even when I kind of grew up in the big city here." I added as we both went into the elevator of the apartment complex. "So, mind telling me how you managed to get these tickets for Esmeralda's magic show? Didn't know you were a fan of this kind of thing." I asked with a small smirk while placing my hands into my jacket pockets.  Ricky just gave out a small laugh and a wink, "I have my ways, buddy. Let's just focus on enjoying the show we are about to see." He then began to show that there was something on his mind, "So... Have you heard about what this gal can do?" He asked with a cocked eyebrow in curiosity. "Think any of those rumors are actually true or not?"  Personally, I have given some thoughts on Ravenna's magic myself. I often have a habit of trying to rationalize the unexplainable, even when there are indeed things that are beyond the understanding of modern science and what have you. Yet, believing that something like magic is real is nothing more than a childish ideal. The world we live in is quite cold and rigid, with no room for childish beliefs like magic and fairy stories. Lately, even simple kindness as well as compassion. As time has continued to move on, I have learned the harsh way that trying to be noble will only get you screwed over. It is best to just look out for yourself, even when it is bitter for your soul to be that selfish. On the train ride, I was standing while holding onto a pole to keep myself stable as the train made its way to the Music Hall and browsing through my phone. However, upon feeling a minor headache, I saw something extremely outlandish as a massive anthropomorphic Snake was running through the hallway of underground tracks. The Cobra woman was dressed in attire that was akin to something you would see in one of the Assassin Creed games and carried similar weapons. It seemed to look something like a female humanoid snake with a small degree of technological armor themed on a ninja warrior covered blades... Yet, a small fright and rub upon my eyes, they were gone. 'The Hell? Am I going crazy or something?' I pondered in my thoughts as the headache subsided. Yet... Something deep down told me that I wasn't seeing things from hallucinations and that something terrible was about to occur.

A Monty & Loona Pill TG Tale Erotic Content Ahead Today was a special day for a couple as they were heading to a special and unique type of tropical resort known as Morphic Pleasures Resort within the Caribbean Islands. Thanks to Cole's New job given to him by Polymorph Attire Corporation, he managed to score a vacation as well as a surprise Anniversary Gift for his girlfriend, Olivia. Though, he wanted to keep what he had planned out for their special night at the resort a secret. Olivia wasn't making it easy for him as they made their way to their room in the building. "Why are you persistent on keeping your lip tight on this, Hun? I'll break you eventually." She told Cole with a seductive smile as she placed her baggage on the room's bed. The two have been a couple for about four years and it was more in Olivia's favor since Cole wasn't exactly good in the "nightly fun activities" like Olivia was. Most of it was all new to him and she definitely took advantage of this. "Don't
