As I grew older I decided I'd start trying to figure out where these creatures all came from and see if I could better control my growing group of associates.
After having several creatures go out to the world and set up organizations; one came back to tell me of a rumored clan of people who were rumored to be following a creature into the Appalachian mountains. I decided to reward these small rodent like creatures with an old house I had won in a poker game earlier that month along with setting up a police that would ignore any dissappears these creatures would cause.
I drove for hours and hours until I finally made it to a very outdated rural town. This was definitely the place because there were hundreds of different creatures mixed in with the humans. Everyone and everything was extremely relaxed and mellow; it was extremely odd though everyone was trying to give me a glass of water which I kept rejecting because I could tell something was in it just not sure what it was.
I was finally able to get one of younger kids to tell me where the head of this town was so I decided to go straight there (an old outdated church or school). I went in, locked the door, and saw what looked like an ancient old man that was clearly dead however when I stepped in I heard a voice saying welcome travel offering me a drink of water. I declined their offer and continued to walk to the dead person pushing him over to reveal a well with a psychic fungus like creature in the water.
I pulled the fungus out only for it to scream in pain and sound like it was dieing. Dropping it back into the water I made it a deal of helping it spread to new areas while in return it and all of its creatures it controlled would do as I say. After a few more let's call them sessions it agreed and I helped it divide and had a couple of my newly acquired guards help me move a piece of it to the Midwest.
