Multi-Gene

David remained silent as he followed Allison up the mountain, it was unknown what he was thinking. Allison was cuddling up Flint as he rested snugly against her bountiful chest.

David couldn’t help but snort lightly at this scene but a hint of worry crept up in his mind. The journal he made here contained a very big risk and he wasn’t sure if he would be able to make it out alive. He wasn’t particularly worried about himself, but about his Master and Flint. He didn’t know what would happen to him if he died which was why he had specifically informed Flint to stay with Allison.

Girls love tiny pets and they wouldn’t want to watch one suffer. While Allison might seem different, she was still a lady after all. Therefore, there was a possibility nothing bad would happen to Flint if the situation goes sideways.

They arrived at a large platform that seem like an elevator. Allison entered into it while David followed behind her. She clicked on an holographic image and the elevator jerked once before it shot upwards with an intense speed that broke through Mach 1 in three seconds.

Intense flames shot out from underneath the elevator as the jet engine propelled them upwards.

Whoosh!

The wind slapped against their bodies, creating slight shockwaves, but David and Allison seem to have experienced this quite a lot and acted casual as though it was a simple elevator. They stood unmoving like a mountain, not shaking in the slightest as though nailed to the ground.

Ever since he embarrassed himself the first time using elevator in this world, David had learnt a great and valuable lesson, to always be prepared.

Roughly twenty seconds later, the elevator jerked to the side, entering into a hole deep into the mountain before slowing down, jerking to a stop. But then, the sounds of mechanism resounded ad the jet engine rolled around, moving from its previous position which was down to a new position, above the elevator.

A spark glinted off the jet and the elevator started to free fall.

Whoosh!

A blazing heat burst upward from the jet engine, shooting the elevator downwards with an intense speed.

This time, David frowned. Previously, they had been heading upwards and now, they seem to be heading down the mountain instead.

Whoosh!

The elevator speed reached Mach 5, going deep into the earth as though reaching for the earth’s core.

“Is there a reason we are going down instead of moving up?” David asked amidst the wind sounds.

“To meet father of course. Oh, you assumed cause there mountain up there, we would be living at the top?” Allison chuckled.

“It’s just a common misconception. It’s just a facade used to deceive the others.” Allison said and then the elevator came to a stop as they arrived before a large clearing.

There was a large golden gate that lead to a large Palace.

“Princess.”

“Welcome, Princess.” The guards bowed to Allison and Allison nodded her head but they watched David with wary expressions on their faces.

David couldn’t be bothered with them. They were only of the Phaser stage and some of the Integrated Phaser stage, but David didn’t dismiss them either. They were most likely very talented.

The large gates opened and they arrived before a large Palace hall. There were about ten people within the hall, five elderly and five youngsters and they all sat on stone chairs, discussing amongst each other.

Even when David and Allison arrived, they didn’t pause their discussions and remained speaking seriously to each other.

“-the next century, our resources will run out if we don’t find ways to get more resources soon.” One of the old men stated.

“You can’t possibly think raiding the other families will be of any good. What if they band together and attack us for thinking like this?”

“Then we fight! We are the Hunter family! The apex predators and they are our prey, we are naturally meant to hunt them!” One of the youngsters added.

“Young man! What do you know? Even a lion can be killed by an ant if he’s not been careful.” A different old man reprimanded coldly.

The youngster shrank back slightly, but his expression was still aloof.

Cough! Cough!!

The third old man coughed and then spoke “What about sending someone to the Outland to pile up resources?”

“Hey, Allison, and David right?” a strong-bodied handsome elderly man stood up from his stone chair and welcomed David and Allison.

David nodded at the old man’s words. “Yes, David.”

“Come come, seat with us.” Two chairs were pulled back and Allison smiled as she sat. “Thanks, Father.”

David blinked his eyes. “So that’s her father?” He was a bit confused as to what was happening, but he sat anyways.

“Alright people, that’s enough arguing, we still have a century to talk about that, no need to rush.” Allison’s father echoed.

“Strength is king! We should crush the other eight families in one fell swoop!” Another teenager murmured.

But he suddenly shrank backwards with his head bowed slightly as he felt Allison’s gaze on him.

“Previously, we discussed the matter of Multi-Gene.”

“I thought we were clear on the matter that it is impossible.” someone muttered.

“Well, I also thought so too, but my lovely daughter here, Allison has brought her friend here to show us.” Allison’s father made a standing gesture to David.

David remained seated and glanced at their faces then he suddenly frowned but stood up nevertheless.

“Wasn’t he dead?”

“I thought he collapsed with the ancient battlefield?”

The elders murmured amonsgt each other.

“Show them.” Allison encouraged with a nod.

David’s frown deepened, now he felt as though he was a clown on display nevertheless, he stretched out his right palm and they morphed into a monstrous claw with furs in them.

Then he stretched out his left palm, his finger turned slender and his skin crisp white as his nails thicken and elongated to form hardened claws.

His werewolf at the right, vampire at the left.
