This song does not exist, but I wish it did, but it is a very wonderful song. It penetrates the heart. From it emerges a fragrant, lily wind that revives the soul, and its ending brings chills. Its tones are as if it were a saxophone echoing inside a lake inside a cave.💙

Sc-fi fantasy but it's just scientists trying to find logical explanations for prophecy, potions and lasers being shat out out pre-teens hands.

I'm just saying I would watch that sitcom

Old shadows part 3

You grumbled as your brother pushed you forward. You weren't a baby, you could walk on your own... mostly. On making it to the elevator into the building, your fingers hit the wrong button and James just sighed, hitting the right one.

"Have I ever said how amazing you are?" You smiled back at your brother.

"Only when you want something," James replied.

Tillen was standing against the wall opposite you both, not liking the small space and Lovik was hiding on her shoulder. Lovik was nervous, not sure about James or what he was thinking.

"I didn't think my venom would have this effect," he said, "I've heard tale that it wasn't fatal to humans but it was enough to knock them out."

"Is that why there's blood on my sister's head?" James asked with a warning edge to his voice. The doors opened on the floor you originally pressed and you were about to exit when your brother pulled you back by the collar, closing the doors again.

"I fell and hit my head on the pavement," you mumbled, "so that's a yes."

"May, don't make excuses for the aliens that kidnapped you."

"Ok," you blinked tiredly as the doors opened on your floor. "You won't tell mum or dad that I'm high, will you?"

"No," James grumbled. He pushed you forward again, "just put one foot in front of the other."

"Wee," you giggled as your world spun for you again. Your brother held on to the back of your collar as you headed for your apartment.

On getting there, you couldn't even manage to use your own keys, coordination had gone right out the window. Your brother opened your door since it wasn't even locked.

"Oh." You said.

Inside, your dad was repairing the dent in the wall with Toby, the kid's short, fluffy tail wagging as your father talked to him about all sorts of DIY projects. Your mother was smiling from the couch, drinking some tea. She paused on seeing you, spotting your brother holding you up.

"May?" She asked.

"Hi mum," you smiled, "I found some people." You looked behind you and Tillen crept in, staying close to the door.

"Tillen?" Toby stood up now, recognising the alien through the heavy clothes.

"Totobyc," Tillen darted for the kid. Toby hugged her and she moved them away from everyone.

"We were so worried about you," Lovik said, peeking out from under Tillen's disguise.

"Lovik! You escaped! I thought you didn't make it out." Toby picked the smaller alien up and hugged him to his chest. Lovik chuckled, a forked tongue sneaking out and tickling the kid's ears.

"Good to see you too, kid."

"I'm not a kid," Toby huffed.

"It is now a confirmed fact, Toby is a child." You giggled.

"Adolescent," Toby shot back. You just smiled.

"May, are you alright?" Your mother asked, "where's that blood coming from?"

"She 'hit her head'" your brother said.

"You don't need to say it like that," you said, "it sounds like you don't believe it."

"Because I don't," James said, "they both admit to knocking you unconscious and interrogating you."

"Yeah, I got bit on the back of my neck," you said, "then fell flat on the pavement."

"Sit down," your mother sighed, heading towards the kitchen for the first aid kit. Of course, she had to walk past the aliens and Tillen snarled at her.

"Tillen," Toby elbowed her, "don't do that. She's nice."

"I don't trust that for a second," Tillen growled.

"Regardless, I need to get past you to get to the first aid kit," your mother said. Tillen stepped to the side, pulling Toby with her. The aliens watched as your mother took care of your injuries. You suddenly gasped. "What?" Your mother asked.

"I just realised we'll need to do another food shop," you grumbled, throwing your head back against the sofa.

Your mother had to hold your head still. "What are you talking about?"

"For Tillen and Lovik," you said, "I don't think they eat the same as Toby. Do you?"

"No, I eat bugs," Lovik said.

"Where do we get bugs?" You asked.

"Pet store," James shrugged, "you can get all kinds. Whatever you prefer. Worms? Flies?"

"Tillen eats meat too," Toby said.

"Raw or cooked?" James asked.

"Whatever," Tillen grumbled.

"She prefers cooked," Toby said.

"Totobyc," Tillen hissed at the kid. Still keeping him hidden behind her.

"James, check May's fridge for any meat. If there's not enough, you can get more while getting bugs for Lovik." Your mother said.

"What? Why am I the one to go shopping? She's the one that brought the aliens into her home." James gestured to you.

"May is going to bed now, you need to go get more food."

"I'm not going to bed," you said, sitting a little straighter.

"Honey, we know you're high on something, you're gonna sleep it off," your mother took your arm, leading you away as you groaned.

"While you're out, James, mind getting a paint match for this?" Your dad took a few chips from your wall.

"Sure, want anything else?" James asked, "bread? Milk? A pony?"

"Can I get a pony?" You asked, giggling as your brother gave you a scathing look.

"Look, son, while you're at the hardware store, you can look for something to help unlock Toby's restraints, right?"

James sighed, opening the fridge, "yeah. I can try."

"Love you brother," you called before your mother pushed you into your room to go sleep it off.
