Yoongi barged into the room, bouncing excitedly on the balls of his feet, "Baby! Baby! Wake up This is so cool!"

Cecily startled awake, looking at Yoongi like he had grown a second face, "Why are you up? What time is it?" She looked at him curiously, thankful that Taehyung was such a heavy sleeper, "Why are you so...twitchy?"

"I've drank a lot of coffee," Yoongi answered, "While you were...you know...getting fucked into that mattress by Tae, Vortara came by," he smiled, seeming to realize that she was naked and Taehyung was still sleeping, "Are you...did it work?"

She rolled her eyes, scooting out of the bed to grab Taehyung's shirt and pull it over her bare body, "I think so," she admitted, "It feels like it."

His face broke into an excited smile, "Perfect! You have to see this, come on!"

Cecily let herself be gently pulled down the hallway to the living room. Once she stepped in, she gasped, ending on a giggle when she saw Jin sprawled over the floor asleep, covered in books and papers. Namjoon was hunched on a chair, long legs bent and feet tucked under him while he had his nose burrowed into a book with great interest. She walked over and placed her hand on his shoulder fondly, making him jump at the contact.

"Sorry," he grinned sheepishly at her small laugh, "Too much coffee. I'm a little jumpy."

"And Yoongi is..." she looked at the other man while he scrambled around with a huge smile on his face.

"Hyper," Namjoon finished for her. "We've been reading since the middle of the night, when the witch dropped all of this," he gestured around the room, "Off at our doorstep."

"Most of it means nothing," Yoongi panted, continuing to sift through papers and books, "Well...I mean, not nothing. There are a lot of spells and herbal mixtures that are really cool and useful...but...I mean...THIS," he held up a scroll triumphantly, "This is the thing that makes a bit of sense." He ran up to Cecily, skidding to a stop just before her, "It's not about Epochs, but there are some other little things about that...Joon's reading that...whatever, THIS...this is about nature and nature magic. Specifically, nature sorcery." He spread the scroll over Jin's sleeping form, "It talks about how Nature is cyclical. Every sorcerer that has a nature affinity has the ability to not only control the elements of it, but also feed off of it or power themselves from it."

"I don't get it," Cecily scrunched her face at the scroll, trying to make sense of the archaic sentence structure, "Everyone gets energy from nature. We eat the food and build ourselves up from the rays of the sun and the tides of the moon."

Yoongi shook his head, "You feel like it's simple because you're the embodiment of what it is," he explained, "You can literally draw energy from Nature. You can heal yourself, make yourself stronger. You can also sap your own energy into it, to mend the earth itself if needed." He grabbed her shoulders, his over-caffeinated eyes trying to make her understand, "This is the special connection of Nature sorcerers in general. You, being a Epoch of Nature...it makes you near god-like, Babygirl."

"Did you just call me a god and a pet name at the same time?"

"You're still you," he shrugged, "Even if you're a superhuman you."

"You're not getting to the point," Namjoon voiced out, his nose still in his book, "The cool part, remember?"

"Oh yeah!" Yoongi pointed his finger in the air to make a point, "Because of what you can do, you have the ability to be even more!" He shook his head at Cecily's confused expression, "You are Nature, that's fact. Supernatural creatures are made from Nature, also fact," he took a deep breath, "So, as such, you gain a piece of us when you mate with us. Remember the sharing of energy thing I talked about?"

"Yes," Cecily nodded her head, "You said that when you share a body, you share your energy."

"Right, and when you mate, you share your energy cyclically with that person," he waited for her to nod her head again in understanding, "So, by mating with us, you make us stronger in our abilities, because we're getting our sharing from an Epoch of Nature." Cecily smiled at that, liking the idea that she fed her mates in that way, letting Yoongi continue, "But also we give our energy to you, because it's cyclical. So, in turn, you gain some of our abilities."

"Which ones?" she asked, suddenly and inexplicably nervous.

"Hard to say," he admitted with a tilt of his head, "You gained the ability to feed from sexual energy from me," he explained, "I felt it when we mated...and it might explain why you're wide awake and Taehyung is out like the dead in there," he chuckled, "But as far as what you gained from mating with Tae...who knows?"

"If I had to guess," Namjoon finally looked up from his reading, "I would venture that you would gain his shifting ability, even if you don't gain the extra strength or heightened senses."

"Why would you guess that?" Yoongi turned to Namjoon with interest.

"Because, according to this," Namjoon pointed at the book he was reading. "And its section of the mating rituals of Shifters, were-shifters have to mate in human form and animal form in order to complete the act." He laughed a little as he watched Cecily try to decipher what he was saying, "It means, Baby, that you have to have sex with Kookie as a human and also as a wolf, or you won't be fully mated."

"But what if I had mated...or I guess tried to," Cecily brushed her hair back from her face, "With Kook first? If I hadn't slept with Tae already?"

"Well," Namjoon tapped his chin, "I would assume that either you would have not been able to complete the ritual until after you had slept with Tae to gain the ability," he twisted his handsome face in thought, "Or it may be that you gained enough of the ability from Kook to complete the ritual in full after your human session. Though, to be honest, I doubt that...I think the first is more likely."

"You seem to have thought about this a lot," Cecily mused, "My handsome genius, pray tell, why do you think the first is more likely than the second?"

"Because it's fate," he smiled, kissing her quickly on the end of the nose. "If this is meant to be...like a whole prophecy in a poem and everything...then this is all supposed to happen exactly how it has to happen in order to make it happen," he grinned widely, proud with his deductive reasoning.

"So, if it is as you so eloquently put it," Cecily teased, "Then I should test it out, right?"

"Yes, theoretically" Namjoon kissed her nose again, "But since I know shit all about shifting, you should probably wait until one of them is awake, even if it's not Tae...you know, since you rocked his ass into unconsciousness and all," he smirked knowingly.

Cecily blushed, remembering her night with Tae, "I'm actually surprised I am able to be awake," she mumbled, "Or walk, to be honest."

"You'll get used to it," Yoongi chuckled wrapping his arms around her from behind, "You'll find yourself energized after a quick nap at most."

She thought for a few seconds, "So who is the shifter that wakes up earliest?"

"Funny thing about fate," Namjoon joined Yoongi to sandwich Cecily in a comforting hug, "Our Kookie will be up soon for his morning run."
