She always shown up, even before I knew of this place. Was she being punished by the creator? No, she's never done anything wrong- nor would she ever... Right? Oh well. She'll show up- especially with the knowledge of the new comers: The unhumans. I'm not sure why they're called that and not 'hybrids', but the concept is cool nonetheless. They all had human like frames, but some had animal faces, tails, even horns! How cool, kinda wish I had horns and not these obnoxious antennas.

But of course

-the OGs were here too, but a few were also missing, Viniroca (aka Catty), Derik (aka Dog), and Maxine. Perhaps they were discussing things with our (in)famous, secret creator? Likely, since they've been here longer then the rest. I wonder what their past is like- are they ever caught in their own thoughts? Or is a new year just a change of calendar for them?

I blinked. I'm too much of a thinker. I need to find Nevard and Nornix instead of staring into space. My brain-rotted oaf of a boyfriend-

-should be nearby, probably stunned of the existence of this place. I can't blame him, this constantly shifting realm terrified me the first time- gosh, just wait until he meets The Creator!

My thoughts almost immediately stop as my eyes landed on Nornix, Nevard, and the rest of the missing bunch. Either Nornix is rambling their ears off or they're just explaining this world to him. I approached with little to no hesitation, waving to the crowd.

They spread apart for me, letting me join in.-

Maxine, Viniroca, Derik, some faceless human- Wait who the-? My eyes glaze over their build. Feminine, around my exact height, under weight, and their face just not present- it warped into the void, head wings on either side of where their face would be.

"Now that everyone is all here, perhaps I should go and 'torment' another gathering." They spoke with a multi-tone, female voice- punctuating their sentence with a chuckle. Before I could even ask who they were they vanished, just like that.-

"Who was that?" I ask with a rather frightened tone.

Nornix chuckled. "Thee Creator, you'll get used to her rather quick- she's almost just like you." The anthropormorthic wyvern-alien turned to me with a warm grin.

"What." My eyebrows furrowed.

"Yeah, just what she said-" Nevard stammered with a awkward laugh.

I shrugged with an awkward smile and pinned ears, then gestured to Nornix for her to follow me. The other alien glanced between the rest rather confused, then moved past them to keep

-up.

I turn back to her once I found we were a decent distance away from them.

"So what's this about?" One of her ears pinned curiously.

"Nornix, have you just ever get stuck in the past?"

"I have, why?"

"Well..."
