(Kris POV)

After taking my sip, time seemed to move slowly, REALLY slowly. I looked around the room and into the teacup in my hand. Suddenly there was a major shift, we weren't inside the debriefing room anymore. I looked around me and saw the others with the same reaction, we weren't really anywhere to be honest. "Damn, what the hell is in this tea man am I the only one whos tripping balls here?" Tombstone said as he looked down to look at the teacup that was fully gone. Suddenly what we seemed to be stepping on started shaking, rumbling louder and louder each second. Out of nowhere, we were now in some circle. Around us, a temple rose, the marble walls rising from the ground creating a temple. "What the hell." Was the only thing I let out. People of all shapes and sizes seemed to fade in. They all stood motionless, without facial expressions, then some faded out. Then more faded away, until there were only 9. The 9 separated, then they started walking toward me and the others. We were all silent. 2 of them stood in front of me. And 2 of them stood in front of Tomb. the others stood alone in front of the others. "Hello, Kris." The male said to me. "It is a pleasure to meet you." The female said. I looked towards the others who seemed to already be communicating with the people in front of them. "Uhm. Hi? I'm sorry who are you guys?" They both chuckled. "We're the first primordials, the ones who have saved all of reality."

(Tombstone POV)

"Wow, so you guys are the first version of me? I didn't know the first death primordial was a woman." I said and she chuckled. "None could believe it at first, but they got used to it." I stood in awkward silence not knowing what to say. "How's the underworld treating you? Not too bad I assume?" The man said. "Eh, I'm mainly on the surface kicking ass with the others, my husband takes care of small parts around the underworld." I bragged. They looked me up and down and then looked at each other. They chuckled and the woman put her hand on my shoulder. "I can't believe someone would get with the primordial of shadow AND death, You didn't kidnap him and force him to marry you right?" She said concerned. "Oh, c'mon I'm not that fuckin' corrupted in the head you dickheads." I replied and she laughed even more. "Im just joking, one death primordial to the other." she said. The shadow primordial straightened himself, as to signal he was about to speak. "We can answer any questions you've ever thought of, but we also have some questions regarding YOUR life." He said. I thought for a moment. "How do I die?" I asked. They both stayed silent. "Do you really want to know?" The death primordial asked, concerned once again. "If I get murdered by one of my friends just tell me." I say in a serious tone. They look at each other and look back. I laughed to indicate I was joking and they nervously laughed back. "Ok but seriously, do you guys know how I'm gonna die?" I questioned. "Yes but.. We don't want you living with knowing how you're going to die, it can cause severe panic." The death primordial said. "I understand, sort of. Can you at least tell me if I outlive everyone else?" I ask. The death primordial closed her eyes and started chanting something I couldn't understand before her eyes glowed a dark purple and smoke burst from the ground, no one else seemed to notice except me and the shadow primordial. Everything quickly went back to normal and she smiled. "Some," She said. "That's all I needed to know, Also, one final question.." I said. "Go on." The shadow primordial said. "Will my son be harnessing my powers?? He's adopted and I don't know how these power things work." I asked and they thought for a second. "I think yes, there are multiple spells that you can do to give up your power to a trusted member after you're in no shape for battle." The death primordial said. The shadow primordial straightened himself again. "But anyways.. Now we have some questions for you." He said before putting on some glasses. "Let me see here, my eyes are not as good as they used to be... Ok, Tomb, have you mastered all of your abilities for battle?" He asked. "Uhh... some.. Maybe most of the abilities are from my genes." I replied. "Alright and do you know your full capacity and strength?" He asked again. "Yes.. I think I'm too brain-dead." I laughed nervously. As I finished laughing I looked at them and they were staring at me seriously. I cleared my throat "Sorry" I murmured. "Tombstone we want to tell you something out of the blue so please be prepared for what I'm about to say," She said, " Uh sure what is it?" I said in a worried tone. They both looked at each other and nodded that's when they told me something that I wished wasn't true. "You weren't born with the elemental power of shadow and death... you were a test subject while you were young you were tested because of your genes since no one has seen a parasite. As they were testing your abilities you overuse your power that you start bleeding out on the floor. The scientists tried finding a way to stop it but nothing worked so that's when we both came in. They had no clue that your parents were the primordials of shadow and death. After the incident they put you up for adoption." they both told me. "No... that can't be fucking true," I told them in an angry tone. They both stared at me giving me a serious and sad-ish look "We're so sorry Tom," They both said. I started panicking a bit and put my hands on my head. "They lied to me that I got my powers from them, that I was THEIR child." I said to myself. I took out the fox mask Sharky gave me and put it on my face hiding my emotion. "Anything else I need to know?" I angrily responded. As I looked at them the death primordial went on one knee and put her hand on my cheek ¨No, but they saved you. Even if your real parents gave you away to get experimented on they came by, and adopted you, we know how you can get with your powers. So please, understand. They wanted the best for you¨ she said to me, the shadow primordial looking away. I took a deep breath to calm myself due to this situation "Alright then that's all for me"
