I’m not sure of whom I was but I was given this saying You are Kurpanov the Surrai as you should remember by Meritanian voice blaring into my mind.

How was I supposed to know this was a joke by the Meritanians playing with my identity involving who I was? I wasn’t sure if I was Kurpanov himself despite dreaming of that male. Oh well I remembered myself woke up with a start finding me floating in a cylinder tube surrounded by blue liquid. My eyes looked around unseeing things as I felt the tube lower itself becoming horizontal and felt myself thrust out onto the floor that felt metallic to the touch. I heard a loud gasp sound looked up on my right to spot Human male wearing green clothing holding a long gun weapon standing there with a shocked expression on his face. I felt myself angry got up from the floor and charged towards the male throwing a fist into the man’s face that rolled his eyes before falling to the floor appearing to go unconscious. I remembered I stared at the male and sensed a weird feeling which I brought my hands clawed up to my eyesight and stiffened seeing them fade from view and reappear.

I hide. I heard into my mind making me hide in plain sight despite confused to how I got that ability which I heard I reveal making me show myself.

I allowed the weird feeling to take control letting my body faded from view turning invisible as I heard running footsteps to spot two Humans wearing green clothing and one Human male as recognized as Barry with the wobbling walk of his weave walking drunk like that came into view. I remembered I felt anger charged at the two green clothed males with hands in fists knocking them unconscious then darted towards Barry or clone of him at the time than the original Barry who’s boneless contained into as a mind of an Edenia moon station system.

The cloned Barry appearing to not see me who halted his walk speaks Hello who’s there show yourself?

I reached Barry or clone or whatever name he’s known as putting a hand on the male’s throat while sensing me revealing my form from invisible state like the male was speaking Builders’ compellers’ chatter talk You to reveal yourself.

I saw Barry’s face turn to shock followed by the man speaking Jinks?

I remembered I was shocked along with a fainting feeling which persisted despite hearing Sleep, sleep, sleep! sounding into a familiar voice of a Zeskaya as that species calls themselves nowadays.

I released my hold onto Barry’s neck and rolled my eyes and felt myself falling backwards to feel the floor on my back followed by losing sensation of my body and everything around me while sensing myself passing out unconscious. I’m told once I passed out unconscious the Meritanians played a joke onto me and the High Council despite I know my name is not Kurpanov as named.

I know I was named that name despite hearing a voice of a Meritanian saying Come to me!

The voice sounded male to me like a Meritanian’s voice of Tank or Ramses but it was more monotones like a Highlander’s voice or someone who’s deaf without an accent. Ugh how was I supposed to know that this was a joke by the Meritanians who were playing games with the High Council out of boredom of being plants stuck into the ocean. I wound up dreaming of dreams while I was out unconscious thrown into tests by the Zesky Asylum’s servants like Harry aka Barry the clone that runs the cruise ship’s functions as an insane asylum and hospital for the mentally insane. The hospital also keeps originals of clones into tubes for the orders of the High Council. As I was saying I dreamed of my life as someone else on a planetary world dubbed Terrania I figuring out the planet's name. I saw a male I didn’t recognized but later figured out was named Hades another form of Drainer with face entirely covered in black mask with only yellow orbs where the eyes were. I saw Hades sat on the table trying to sleep despite it being daylight from above like I was spying onto him. Hades was heard groaned despite me hearing yelling and screaming noises followed by sounds of fighting. Hades got up from table and left the rocky clearing pushing aside the ivy vines and followed the sounds of fighting I followed jumping from tree to tree. Hades stopped once he reached a clearing and stood watching males wearing black pants twin to Hades’ pants. The males were busy fighting among each other.

Groaning heard from Hades as I made a sound towards the male saying Plants wrap around his arms now.

Hades as seen jerked his arms feeling something wrapped around them and looked to see tree roots tightly around his arms. Hades appearing to be surrendered to the tree roots wound up looked at the fighting Surrai all wearing night sky colored pants that wrapped around their feet and ankles fighting among each other with their muscular forms. I looked to see a sun colored haired male Surrai with hair pulled back in a messy tail I later recognized as Nemovsky hit the ground falling on his stomach. I looked to see a night sky colored haired male Surrai I recognized as Yuri with his hair pulled back in a messy tail typical of the Surrai’s hair standing over Nemovsky raising his clawed hand in a fist intending to hit the fallen Surrai on the back.

That’s not right! I said as I added Tree pickup that Surrai and raise him up!

I watched with knowing as a tall tree bent down grabbing Yuri by the branches and lift itself up taking the Surrai who screamed taking him with it. The Surrai stopped their fighting to witness Yuri lifted up as the tree righted itself with him pinned to it.

I said Tree roots around Hades free him now!

I saw Hades appeared confused as he felt the tree root around his arms left him and he stood as one of the Surrai stomped towards him growling.

I recognized the growling male Surrai as Yugadin with sun colored hair who growled out in a guttural voice No Face, you were told not to interfere with our battles so free him.

No Face was the nickname of what Hades was called by the Surrai despite unsure of why they balked calling him Hades. I heard Hades groaned inwardly at the name and looked at their right to see a large thick branched tree waving as the other Surrai looked.

Tree shakes and lowers me to the ground now! I said as Hades and the Surrai watched with the thick branches bent down touching the ground then went back up righting itself leaving me there growling out So what do you care about No Face?

I saw myself as seen by Hades and the Surrai stared with curiosity seeing the growling figure was a male Surrai with sun colored hair pulled back in a messy tail growling with his golden eyes typical among the Surrai narrowed.

Yugadin loudly spoke Another one to fight with.

A male Surrai with sun colored hair named Yolly charged me which I said mentally Tree root come out of the ground wrapping itself around the attacking Surrai’s feet.

This was done by Yolly fell towards the ground.

Yugadin spoke No Face, stop interfering with our battles.

Hades spoke I’m not doing that.

Yugadin yelled Well stop doing that!

I standing there witnessing the exchange spoke No Face is not doing that, I am.

A night colored haired Surrai named Trevor standing next to Yugadin spoke No Surrai can do that so it’s got to be No Face.

Hades groaned inwardly as the Surrai except me advanced towards him growling which I mentally spoke Tree branches lift Hades up and dump him into his sanctuary area to sleep.

I saw Hades held up his hands standing there and I saw something like tree branches grab No Face lifting him up from the ground raising him in the sky.

I heard yells of protest from the Surrai No Face stops that! Quit that joke now!

I sensed Hades’ tree had Hades land in the rocky clearing where the two large stones with a large table stone on top sat in the middle. Groaning Hades went to the table and sat in a kneeling position and bowed his head falling asleep. I stood in the clearing watching the others wave their fists at the tree that lifted No Face up taking him away.

One of them wearing a top with a female form walked up to me speaking in a higher tone of a guttural voice The name is Mal, you got a name?

I replied The name is Kurpanov.

Mal spoke Good, we’re all called Surrai.

I growled out Jeez females!

I seeing her turned and swung her leg, foot aiming at my stomach which I easily grabbed with my clawed hand lifting her up in the air and threw her away from me like she weighted nothing.

She, I saw landed on the dirt ground with a groan as the other Surrai seeing that advanced towards me growling He hurt Mal he should pay I heard from them.

I spoke You shouldn’t be fighting among each other.

A sun colored haired Surrai yelled at my remark The name is Yugadin, defend yourself Kurpanov!

Yugadin charged full body attack at me who stood aside flipping him to land on the ground. I stood my ground as other Surrai advanced attacking me in one by one which I recalled using trained combative arts’ methods of movements easily defeated knocking them onto the ground. I stood watching the Surrai lying on the ground groaning.

One of them with night sky colored hair got up and spoke The name is Trevor, you Kurpanov are not Surrai. No Surrai can do what you did.

I spoke I am Surrai and a wise one who thinks you should stop fighting among each other.

Trevor shook his head speaking We fight for it’s our nature and you should accept this.

The other Surrai got up from their positions on the ground We agree with Trevor on this talk. As overheard.

I spoke I don’t find this acceptable and I refused to fight.

Mal who got up spoke Some Surrai you are. If you refused to fight then I’m wasting my time talking you.

A sun colored haired Surrai spoke The name is Nemovsky. I think no Surrai talks to Kurpanov unless he fights.

There were mutters of agreements among the other Surrai We agree with Nemovsky and his talk.

I folded my arms Human style despite unsure of how Surrai do their arm folding with a glare at Nemovsky who flinched from the look Must he look at me like that?

I got from Nemovsky who added Ugh!

The Surrai walked away from me scattering among the forests of trees except Trevor.

Trevor spoke Kurpanov, I’ll show you where to drink but you’re on your own after that.

I wasn’t sure of what Trevor’s purposes involved me but he seemed to give off feelings of I’m friendly I’ll be your friend.

I lowered my arms as I followed Trevor through mazes of bushes and trees passing through clearings till we reached a large lake that was fueled by a waterfall off a cliff wall above. Surrai were there scattered around the edges of the lake in kneeling positions drinking the water from scooping it with their hands.

Trevor spoke The drinking spot where we replenish our energy.

I went to the edge of the lake on a rock and kneeled putting my hand in the water scooping it up and drank from my hand. I noticed the water changed from black to blood red color into my hand’s grip. I watched Trevor who kneeled next to me like the other Surrai scooped up the water with both hands in a fast motion drinking it.

I spoke You waste too much energy fighting.

Trevor abruptly looked at me with a frown on his face as water dripped from his clawed hands Now what?

I continued Why is No Face letting you fight if he’s your leader?

Trevor growled some sound No so smart. and spoke No Face is not our leader. We fight to determine a leader which we can’t seem to agree on.

Trevor growled as he stood up walking away from me who watched him walk to another spot besides the lake and kneeled scooping up the water with both hands drinking it.

I growled some sound That’s rude.

I was about to stand up when I felt clawed hands on my back pushing me into the deep lake waters. I once into the water panicked at the darkness of unable to see anything while unable to swim.

I waved my hands, arms and moved my legs while in the water struggling to keep afloat as the other Surrai watched me some smirking out He can’t swim.

I gasped for air as I began to sink below the water while moving my body in a thrashing motion. I thrashed sinking while gagging on the water choking as darkness threatened to overcome me. The water I inhaled gagging on felt like normal water to me despite the black color. I’m not sure of the red blood’s status onto my hand. I felt hands multiple hands’ grips grab my thrashing arms pulling me up towards the waters’ surface and pulled me out of the water onto the dirt ground. I lay on my side groaning as I coughed up the water from within and looked to see looking wet, Nemovsky and Yugadin standing besides me. Both were watching with frowns on their faces I heard nothing in response to me coughing up water.

I gasped out Why Nemovsky, Yugadin? You could have left me drown.

Nemovsky spoke To have a Surrai drown isn’t right.

I coughed as I sat up groaning out I refused to fight you as payment for that.

Yugadin spoke You don’t have to, Kurpanov, just accept us as your escorts from now on.

I groaned as both Nemovsky and Yugadin offered their hands which I grabbed and the two pulled me up to a standing position.

I shook off the water and asked Who pushed me in the lake?

Nemovsky answered It was the female Mal who normally does that to us males.

Yugadin spoke before I could open my mouth to resort an insult Mal is testing males to see whose worthy of mating with her. She hasn’t picked a male yet but has said that she’ll mate with only the leader of the Surrai.

I growled out Hence you fight among each other for leadership to being chosen to mate with the female.

Nemovsky and Yugadin groaned loudly seeing my face turned into a glare as I looked around the lake shores. I saw Mal with a smirking expression on her face, kneeling next to the lake drinking from her hand and I glared when she looked my way. I saw Mal’s face turn into a frown, seeing me glaring at her as she drank which she got up and walked away into the forests disappearing from my eyesight.

I snarled out This fighting among each other for leadership and mating with the female must end now.

Nemovsky and Yugadin, both groaned hearing my words This escorting stinks. I heard.

The sun went down on the horizon.

Nemovsky spoke We’ll show you where the sleeping quarters is.

I followed Nemovsky as Yugadin took up the rear passing bushes and trees till we reached a large clearing bordering three logs sitting in a circle with rocks in a circle inside it. I looked to see Surrai in position of a circle entering the dirt ground which closed up behind them.

I heard Yugadin speak Only the leader sleeps in the middle.

I folded my arms as I saw Mal walk in the middle of the circle and entered the ground which closed up behind her I thinking to myself She’s obvious the leader.

I glared at the ground where Mal entered then I felt Yugadin’s clawed hand on my shoulder breaking me of my glare.

Yugadin continued speaking Kurpanov, go into the sleeping quarter and get some sleep. You’ll need it if you’re going to fight for the female.

I shrugged off Yugadin’s hand and went
