In a crossover land known as Viseniati, both distant and fairly close to the cretin (human) society, live the Terragonix. This large colony, holds a dangerous secret; a secret the Terragonix were born to protect and hide. If stolen and used, it could bring joy, contempt, and happiness. Or it could bring the destruction of the cretin society as we know it... Sebastian Michaels was a cretin; he had lived a normal life ever since he was born. Now though, as a 16 year old boy, he had snuck into a bar with his 21 year old friends. He had danced and laughed alongside Mia and Will - his two closest best friends. Until he saw the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She danced with beauty which reflected upon her looks as well. The girl with jet black hair left the bar and he had secretly followed after, knowing well the consequences of a gentleman following a lady to her doorstep. But what he instead comes across surprises even himself... Rebecca Aardwolf, a known Terragonial, wandered around the cretin society, going into cretin restaurants and bars. Of all of the Terragonix, she knew she held the most dangerous secret of them all; one she had sworn she would not tell even the High Chief of the Terragonix. That was, until a boy followed her into the city of Viseniati. Maybe, just maybe, Rebecca now has someone she can confide in. Even if she's risking the safety of humanity as she knows it. - ¡Updates every Tuesdays!
