"Yes, they are willing to build your house for you but the project has been scheduled to begin 2 years from now. You have to understand that Construere is very busy and in demand. There are construction projects taking place that I don't even have clearance to be aware of and the many I do know off will keep their schedule busy the next 50 years."

"Will this help?" I ask producing the letter from Jon.

The man I now know to be Silver takes it and reads through it. "It might." He says.

"Can you give me the two days to organise this for you?" He asks and I nod thanking him.

I then go do what I should have done immediately when I got here, report to the Den administration building. There I let them know I'm back, I let them know who my family is back at the academy and I let them know how long I'm staying. I get placed in a temporary housing complex and I'm off to find my master.

I find my fellow disciples staying at the same set of apartments they were in years ago. We hit it off immediately and I realise I actually missed them. We talk for hours and they even offer to clean out my old rroms so I can stay but I decline.

We all talk and drink but we are eyeing each other, or at least I am eyeing them and they are eyeing me. We decide to go to one of the private sparing rooms so we can test each other's prowess. Samantha things we are all being very immature but follows anyways, they have all become Awakened in the short time I've been away.

The sparing rooms are all occupied and the unwarded ones are too expensive to rent. Yes, there are training chambers being rented now. Chambers where only the walls and ceiling are warded and everything else is left regular everyday stuff so a person may be able to accurately judge their destructive potential. A family of satyrs having started the business.

So we go outside, there is plenty we can do outside the compound to test each other.

Lucas is on another level of skill with his long heavy golden spear that shatters stones if it falls upon them when Lucas is serious. His moves precise and leaving a cuncusive force that spreads like a mushrooming explosion taking out all in its wake. A single thrust with the point of his spear with his full force shuttering thick sebasis trees into splinters or leaving large round holes in the wide squamous besilas trees.

His riding combat abilities without equal in all our power level group I imagine. Only higher tier Awakened of all the warriors and tamers in the compound capable of besting him in mounted combat. Samantha became similarly capable in unarmed but mainly its her mind healing abilities she has became most exulted for. Learning the art of bringing back from madness even minds broken centuries ago with magic.

But it is Inam that really shocked me with his affinities after Awakening. Master Zaraya has always told us that we didn't really know what we are best suited for as opposed to what we think we want. It makes more sense when she says it but what she means is that if we learn to let go of the reigns and not be in control of our lives, lives we can't really control in any case, that higher power or mysterious force will direct us towards what's best for us. Even if it's not necessarily what we want.

Inam has become Smoke. The man can fight barehanded and with weapons, he is a great strategist and has the elven speed and agility in spades. Dawn elves don't really have a specialty discipline they are known for like the High Elves and their elemental magic, the Wood Elves and their nature magic or even the Cosmic Elves and their ability to survive in space.

So no one had any preconceptions of what Inam would Awaken as but some sort of warrior mage for sure, not exactly the case though. Inam can manipulate smoke mana and he himself can turn into smoke. Smoke Mages can be very dangerous and already he is one of the leaders of the groups hunting down the higher leveled underworld creatures in the vicinity.

We don't actually spar but we destroy things and show each other what we can do. Lucas is the strongest of us which peeves me a bit since I was stronger when we were mundane. Inam just turns into smoke which is sort of the ultimate defense amongst other things, it's very difficult to hurt smoke. Samantha with her mind healing I wish I had back when we found those kids. We have fun but I eventually excuse myself and ask for them to tell Master Zaraya I'm around.

I walk to the infirmary and I suck up a breath of carriage before heading in to find Shea.

Shea

First I make him wait as I deal with all my patients. He sits there at the foyer seemingly meditating patiently as I instructed him to do. I didn't even give him a smile as he asked to speak with me privately. The man has been gone for almost three years and he expects me to just welcome to whatever he wants to ask me, I don't think so.

Then I slowly start changing into my more masculine form as the night progresses. I'm usually more feminine in personality than I am masculine but my male form is who I am as much as my female form as all polymorphic hermaphrodites. The changes are subtle but noticeable.

The change in the prominence of my jaw, the set of my eyes, the flattening of my already small chest, the slight broadening of my shoulders and deepening of my voice. Most importantly and most vital for the coming discussion though, the appearance of my cock.

I eventually run out of patients and excuses to keep him waiting so I go to him. "Let's walk." I say already on my way out and he follows without a word.

He doesn't say anything as he walks next to me, his heart rate much calmer now than it was when he first appeared to see me hours ago. He has grown I notice as I look at him closely, his aura is much denser and maintaining itself as a sheen of protection around him passively. He seems more sure of himself somehow, less insecure. He has gotten a lot cuter, almost as though...

"When did you Awaken?" I break the silence, finding something to talk about.

"A few years ago, I didn't know you were a tier 2 Awakened when we met." He says not bothering to look at me as we walk.

Maybe I shouldn't have ignored him so long, he seems upset. Or it could be glaring fact that I am so much more manly than he has ever seen me before, it that's the case though then he has no business being interested in me at all.

"You never asked, that's not information I just give freely." I don't know why I'm being so defensive and curt with him. I want him, why am I being so difficult?

"We've never had sex you and I, but there is a connection between us that is unmistakable." He says grabbing my arm and facing me. His heart rate is picking up now as he runs his eyes over me.

"You are beautiful even as a man you know." He says and leans in and kisses my neck.

My own heart rate is pounding now as he steps back to look at me and we keep walking, both our hearts racing as he keeps hold of my hand. I haven't felt this way in many years and my hands are getting sweaty, I hope he doesn't think that's gross. Why am I so nervous anyways, he's practically a child. I take a calming breath and stop, we look at each other.

"Are you really interested in an Albino hermaphrodate that's also a Blood Mage? Albinism is from a very old and dangerous bloodline you know." I say studying him.

He grins that silly grin of his that makes me want to kiss him. "I just want to use you for your body. What did you think I meant?" He says and there is a stab of disappointment in my chest.

But the he holds my waist and pulls me close the our lips touch and we are kissing passionately. He is a really good kisser, his lips soft and they taste good, his tongue not invasive but curious. We separate, both of us hard from the exchange but he doesn't say anything about my erection, nor his.

"Would you please join my family as my fourth mate?" He asks. I'm surprised and talk about whiplash, but I calm myself down. Its not the first time I've been asked nor the first time of thought of this.

"I've been married before, I have children older than you are. I would like for us to have a relationship but I fear the one you propose is impossible. I know you are trying but even now you stand just out of reach of my erection because it makes you uncomfortable, but it's part of who I am.

"I associate mostly with my female side but I transition between male to female with my mood, with the weather, with the type of sex I want. I am also an unpigmented albino, I have the blood of creatures so powerful and unremorseful that they were exiled from Gaia.

"My two children are more powerful than you are how much more me? I know a lot of men cannot deal with that. I'm a Blood Mage, which makes me almost as dangerous as a coven of witches if ever I get my hands on your blood. I'm petty and I have so much inherited and discovered wealth that you could never hope to be my equal there either.

"I'm almost 300 years old Sachi and I could be a tier 3 within a year if I started slaughtering and consuming blood for that's how I gain and retain power. Your other mates would feel threatened, your children would be confused by my transitions, your masculinity would be put in question by my own.

"I am hardly ever submissive to any person and you have at least another hundred years before you could even be close to reaching me in skill. You are a master swordsman yes?"

He nods he's head in the affirmative, he's eyes still on me, his face still cool.

"You will not be able to break past that stage for another 20 years if you persist in its pursuit, if you have other interests it may be 40 years before you are a grandmaster. Then it will be 100 to 200 years of dedication before you can break into the Arch skill levels. I'm only an Expert with the sword but I could best you every time.

" Don't frown, what people don't realise is that an expert as a mundane is not the same level of skill as an Awakened. I hate to be the one to tell you but the scale has changed, your probably not even a Master Swordsman anymore.

"You feel slower don't you? You're actually moving and reacting faster than you did before but you still feel there is too much time before thought and execution. Yes, I can see it in your face I'm right. You're probably reverted back to Expert or even Justus. I'm already a Master Blood Mage at tier 3 Sachi. I've had a man fee inferior in a relationship before, it ended badly and I had to kill him."

I think I was rambling there at the end but I hope I made my point. I need someone above me in station, someone who won't feel intimidated or I can't control even when I'm tempted to as all women get tempted to control their men. I study him as he studies me, he looks at me and grins again.

"Let me tell you about my family."

He says and he starts talking in detail about these people in his life. His three mates Kuyoki, Ingwe and Mira. He speaks of the dynamic of the relationship and the children they have, he speaks of the ups and downs and the communication blunders that still sometimes occur.

He loves them, its evident in his voice and we even laugh as he tells stories about funny mishaps with his children. I listen as we continue walking, still holding hands despite my little speech.

"I've spoke to them about you and though the may be an adjustment period they would be happy to have you. Meet them, see whether or not you could like each other before you reject me because none of the reasons you gave scare me away.

"I hope to have my mates be able to stay in a single household happily without drama. If they do not like you nor you like them then our union was not mention to be."

I look at him, did he hear that I killed my last husband? "What about all the things I mentioned, surely some should worry you."

He frowns, "I'll admit you having a cock is very strange to me and I just want to say now that it's not going up my ass. You having wealth would be very useful for my family right now as I have a very ambitious building project in mind that could become even more so with more resources than I currently have.

"You being powerful is one of the reasons my wives approved of the union between us, you having children is not something unexpected and I don't expect to lord anything over them so them being more powerful doesn't directly affect me. Your bloodline just means we will have interesting children some day if you are open to the idea of ever having more. I think that covers the big issues you pointed out."

"Yes, I think it does. Where are we going?" I finally ask as I notice we seem to actually have a destination by the turns we've taken.

"This is my temporary residence while I'm here." He says opening a door and pulling me into the foyer and up the stairs.

I'm already transitioning into a female again as he stops to talk to the woman managing the building. She gives him a key to one of the apartments and we are taking the stairs to at a time. By the time he gets the door open we are all over each other as we undress and kiss and pat. I don't remember the last time I had sex but I will fuck this young man for all he is worth while I still can.
