This is the longest chapter I've ever made. It's upwards of 13000 words.

Yaiko's had two names. Their birthname and their yaiko name. Some have three names. The third name is earned and makes you one of the 12 forces driving the world they live in making them gods born from mortals. Fallacy's birthname was Fallacy Magdan. Her given Yaiko name was butterfly and her earned name consequence. The world they live in had 12 forces. Truth, pleasure, peace, power, wealth, magic, growth, fertility, Senses, elements, Mind and finally Consequence. Once a year, around the blood moon, the 12 forces had to meet up. They would stay in another world or so it would seem. In that world, they stayed for 7 days each with a new activity. The first day was the day of arrival so it was used for the forces to discuss what had happened in their lives and the changes in the political world where they are living. The second day was the day of their most sacred duty. Discussion of the rules they had in place and change them depending on the world situation. The third day was the day of entertainment where the people of the world would put up plays feed them and generally entertain them. The fourth day was the day of worship. The 12 forces were seen as gods for all yaiko's across both worlds and on this day people could give the forces gifts and pray to them also ask for forgiveness or ask questions. The fifth day was the day of threats and punishments. While the forces were gods they were replaceable. At any moment someone could rise up and replace them this day was to remind them of that but they would also be reminded of their mortality since they too would die one day. The sixth day was the day of the temple. On this day the priests from the 'real' world could speak directly to the forces asking them of anything and getting their judgement. Then came the seventh and final day. This day only held three rituals. While 9 of the forces would be sent home in the early morning 3 would stay and do their most important duty. Today was the first day.

She walked one step at a time walking slowly, yet it looked like she was floating through the gate on a huge building that could be mistaken as eighter a temple or a mansion. She walked with 11 others of her kind all standing tall and powerful as they walked. On either side of them were people bowing as if they were in the presence of their gods. None dared to even glance up, meaning no one noticed her pregnancy as she walked. She walked in silence while her equals were trying their best to find out who got her pregnant and why she was so big yet hadn't birthed. They were interrogating her in a language none of the people around them understood. Finally, they entered the main gate of their temporary home.

"Who did it? I have the right to you before anyone else has Consequence," A male 4 meters tall claimed. He was thin had scales covering his skin and was well endowed in his private area. His hands were big for his body and had suction cups he could use at will. Behind him hung a tail that worked more as a tentacle than anything especially since it could open up and turn into 6 tentacles. The woman who was asked simply ignored him and went to the first available chair letting out a relieved breath when she got to sit down. She was small standing at only 1,8 but had antlers that added 40 cm to her height. Her bones were black as the night yet her antlers were dark as the demons that would wake children in the middle of the night haunting them til they crawled into their mother's embrace or hid under the covers too scared to acknowledge the presence of the darkness. The antlers had white glowing carvings in them creating beautiful patterns. 70 strings of metal hung between the antlers almost like they would on an instrument yet it looked natural.

"Pleasure. You have no right to me, if you even imply that again I will have you sterilized," The woman we know as Fallacy finally said. They looked at her in silence processing the threat. She surprised them every year with her bold and blunt way of speaking, but also by acting on her threats. Though she hoped they didn't want to test her this year considering that she didn't have the strength to make the threats reality.
