"ReNjUn¡ Yo ReNjUnIe¡ WaKe Up MaN¡"

Mark screamed through the speakers in my room, waking me from my much needed slumber.

"wHaT iS iT hYuNg?¡"

"Taeyong-hyung wants us all to meet on the 1st Floor~"

Jaemin cheered, startling me.

"HoW tHe FuCk DiD yOu GeT iN mY rOoM?¡"

"Teleported~. Now come on! No time to waste!"

He exclaimed picking me up, and teleported us to the designated meeting place.

-

"Morning everyone~. I hope you all slept well~. So, I know you're all wondering why I've called you all here"

"Do tell hyung..."

I said, yawning for the third time this morning.

"I think it's finally time you all get some companions~"

"You mean like pets?"

Mark asked.

"Not exactly. They can be battle companions, or just someone to have around the house, or even both~"

"Oh! Kinda like Lucas and Jungwoo!"

"Precisely Donghyuck~!"

Jungwoo and Lucas were currently in their weapon forms, just incase something bad happens while we're out.

Bleddyn and Grover said they'd stay and guard the mansion, and Taeyong agreed to that.

"Well then.... The hell are we still doing here??? Let's go!"

"My thoughts exactly Jaemin! Let's get moving~!"

So Taeyong dragged us into the elevator, into the lab, and teleported us to the first location.

-

"WHOA!!!!"

Everyone gasped in unison.

"I thought Donghyuck and Mark would like dragons as their companions~"

"I wAnT a DrAgOn~!"

They both cheered, running off together.

"WAIT FOR US YOU JERKS!"

Chenle yelled as we chased after them.

-

"Ok, so there's only one rule to choosing your dragon companion: DON'T go to them. They will come to you, if they choose you"

"Why can't we go to them?"

"I mean you can. If you enjoy getting you're head bitten off, then be my guest~"

Taeyong sarcastically informed Mark.

"But anyway. The fire dragons are over to the right for Donghyuck, and the ice dragons are over to the left for Mark"

Mark and Donghyuck nodded, going off in their opposing directions.

"How long will it take for them to be chosen?"

I asked, admiring the other dragons.

"Who can say for sure? It might take at least a few hours before-"

"IT CHOSE ME¡"

"AHHH! SO PRETTY¡"

Mark and Donghyuck yelled, coming back to us with their dragons.

Their dragons looked pretty similar though. The only way to tell them apart was this: Donghyuck's dragon could breath blue fire, and Mark's dragon had multiple crystallized spikes on its body.

"Son of Sebastian, those things are huge..."

Jaemin gasped with awe.

"Question. How are they gonna fit in the mansion?"

Jeno asked out of the blue.

That was actually a good question.

"Until I make a new floor for all of your companions to fit in, no matter what their sizes or needs may be, they'll simply have to revert to they're Ethorian forms and live in your rooms~"

"They can do what now?"

Mark and Donghyuck asked Taeyong with great disbelief.

Right as Taeyong was about to explain, they both became half-Ethorian half-dragon hybrids?!

Donghyuck's a boy, and Mark's a girl.

"Holy. Christmas. Nuts. He lOOKS SO COOL¡ AND SHES SO CuUuUuTe¡"

Everyone cooed, petting the small one and the cool one.

"So who's ready to go to the next stop?"

"WE ARE¡"

We all shrieked in unison once more, and departed to the next location.

-

"WhAt ThE sHiT?¡"

"Cooooool~!"

Jisung was in complete awe at his surroundings, while the rest of us panicked.

Jisung and Taeyong seemed to be the only ones cool with our current environment. Even the dragons were frightened. How could we not be, when we're dEEP UNDER WATER?¡

"Calm your tits everyone. You've all got air bubbles over your heads, except Jisung since he can apparently breath underwater? Ha, who knew~?"

Jisung hadn't even noticed it himself, and was so amazed once it was brought to his attention.

"So how do things work down here, companion wise?"

"Hm? Oh right! Some will do like normal fish do. Some will run, or rather swim away, if you try to go to them or touch them. But some will be so clingy towards you, that even Chenle can't compete with their clinginess"

"Hey! I'm not clingy!"

"Says the terrified koala clinging to my neck right now..."

"This is a perfectly normal reaction in this situation Jeno-hyung! This doesn't count!"

Chenle whined.

Jisung dashed about looking for a worthy companion, when we all heard the sound of a horse..., underwater???

"Anyone else hear a horse?"

"Or is it just us?"

Mark and Donghyuck asked with much confusion.

Now that I think about it, if I know my Greek mythology, and my Percy Jackson films and books, there's only one sea creature that could make that sound underwater. And as clear as the sound was, there's no doubting it.

A huge blur suddenly swam right past us and towards Jisung, and my suspicions and mythological knowledge were proven correct.

"A HIPPOCAMPUS!¡!¡"

Everyone including Jisung yelled with shock, but Taeyong just giggled while the dragons looked both frightened and confused.

It swam back towards us, along with a starstruck Jisung.

"Good thing we all saw the Sea of Monsters right~? I've always wanted a Hippocampus~"

The Hippocampus then turned Ethorian as well.

"Where the fuck did those seagulls and that blanket come from???"

"Not all birds live in the sky on Ethora Donghyuck, and that blanket has sea water on it to keep him hydrated, and it helps to prevent him from dying when he's outside of his domain"

Taeyong informed the now amazed and flustered Donghyuck.

"But anyway~, on to the next location~!"

Taeyong cheered as Jisung's new companion clung onto him.

He wasn't kidding about the clingy part, that's for certain...

-

"Chenle, you're up~"

Chenle seemed a bit frightened by the dark setting of this area.

"S-So, how does everything work here...?"

"The creatures here get very frightened by outsiders. But some might come up to you, if they sense that friendly, trustable aura in you"

Just then, a deer showed up in front of Chenle, startling him.

"Chenle, don't change your form. It won't trust you and just might attack you if you do"

Taeyong informed.

Chenle nodded and stayed in his frozen position.

The deer just stood there and stared at him. This went on for almost a full minute, until it licked his nose. It seemed like it changed personalities by how bubbly it started acting.

"Awwwww, it's so cuuuuuuute~"

Chenle cooed, hugging the deer.

"Oh, I forgot to mention. They may be downright friendly, but some of these creatures, when they turn to their Ethorian forms-"

The deer became Ethorian and jumped out of Chenle's hug, slowly backing away.

"-can become somewhat timid and shy..."

Chenle opened his arms out to him, and he slowly came back to him.

"My poor heart... I can't take this... This is just too adorable..."

Jaemin cooed, wiping away actually tears.

Chenle picked up the precious bean so we could go to our next destination.

Apparently, he wasn't that heavy for a deer.

-

"Please tell me..."

"Yes Jaemin~. This one's for you~"

Jaemin jumped for joy as we all began to explore the fairytale looking place.

He looked like a kid poking all the overgrown mushrooms, and I don't blame him.

"So, how does this happily ever after looking place work?"

I asked, poking some of the mushrooms myself.

"It's seems like everything comes up to you, but only the creatures that want to stay with you will stick to you like glue. The rest will go away in a couple seconds"

Taeyong informed us, petting the little creatures that came to him.

"I guess these two cuties really like me~"

Jaemin cooed.

To our surprise he came back with not one, but two creatures I wouldn't expect him to like at all. Because, they were-

Cyclopes.

"But Nana, you hate the nickname we gave you"

"I used to, because the word cyclops doesn't usually mean anything good. But now that I've seen these guys, I've changed my mind~"

Jaemin shared with Donghyuck, as he pet the two babies.

"Such character development~. I'm so soft, don't touch me"

Jeno cooed, wiping fake tears.

The two suddenly became Ethorians, and we could tell right away that the boy had a very different personality from the girl.

They both clung to Jaemin's arms, as he walked over to us to go to our next destination.

"Where to next hyung?"

Mark asked with suspense.

"Next stop, Jeno's companion~!"
