Anyway I'm really glad a lot of you enjoyed chapter 1 and I'm also really happy to see all the OC submissions! There are still so many spots open so feel free to keep them coming!

"I think I vaguely remember running with a few kids when I was younger. I can no longer remember their faces as in my dreams every time they appear they're only shadows. I can see a young girl in front of me. Her face is nothing more than shadows but the brown fur around her neck was soft and silky. I look to my right and I see a shape of a young boy, he's definitely someone from my past but I can't seem to recognize his face amongst the shadows. The two of them begin to reach out to me, I slowly and carefully reach out as well. My arm begins to burn and I can feel the scene slipping away. Then everything went black"

Eren quickly shot up in his bed. He notices that his arm is fully stretched out, there are tears dripping down his chin. There's an undeniable buzzing in his head that he can't quite describe. It's painful, the buzzing feels like someone is constantly smacking a brick into the back of his head. He had thoughts of what those two people's names were, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

He wiped away the tears in his eyes. He wore nothing more than some boxer shorts at the moment and walked in front of the mirror. Normally he'd be wearing baggy clothing and it really gave the impression that he was lazy or out of shape. However now looking at himself he had toned muscles that were lean and well shaped for his fighting style. His hair was getting on the long side as his golden locks did cover his right eye. What people would normally tell him about his bright purple eyes he could only see them as being dull. He reached into his closet looking at each of the scares painted across his wrists and arms. He shook his head pulling his clothes over his skin. It was the school uniform of a white shirt, grey blazer and his own pair of pants.

Eren decided to walk to school this day, he didn't want to deal with the harassment on the bus. Truthfully the harassment didn't upset him as much as it used to anymore. Eventually the young Aegislash grew tired of it all, that it had soon just become an inconvenience, even the cold now was just the standard to him. Jasper was very warm when he was there, but now living in Aether the cold wasn't so bad.

Eren was deep in his thoughts when he felt a light tap on his shoulder. This was odd, no one had ever done this to him since he came back to Aether. The tap reminded him of Wendy she'd always do it to him just before he'd enter the school in Vexal. Smiling just a bit he looked behind him to see a tall woman wearing the same school uniform he had on. There were no obvious pokemorph features on her body, but she was much taller than him.

If Eren had to estimate she stood at around six feet and four inches. Her dark skin, slanted eyes and a round tipped nose were a dead giveaway that she wasn't from around the area. Although her eyes were the most beautiful shade of bright pink eyes. Her hair consisted of long braids on the right side of her head and the rest of her hair long and straight, dyed bright neon pink with black roots and the right side left with her original color. Eren did however take notice at the distinct tattoos on her body.

"Can I help you?" Eren asked.

Her voice was deep for a woman, but it was still feminine. "You're wearing the same uniform as I. Would you mind showing me the way?"

Eren walked away with both hands tucked in his pocket. "Yes."

The woman stood there with an annoyed look. Soon after she leaned back and yawned. "Wow is everyone in this kingdom just as grumpy as you are."

Eren quickened his pace. "Yeah they are, now buzz off." He annoyingly took each step just hoping this woman would leave him alone.

The woman feeling slightly frustrated ended up walking side by side with Eren. "Well then I guess ima just follow ya."

Eren groaned. "You remind me of a Zorua I know in Vexal. The name is Eren, I guess I can lead you to the school. Just don't expect to me to get all buddy buddy with you."

"Aren't you just a ray of sunshine."

The two of them eventually made it to the school where they had parted ways. It was only during the day that Eren had eventually found out her name was Tamina Polamalu. She was nothing special to him just another person to ignore. Although she did remind him of Wendy, it soon got his mind on how he was going to move back to Vexal. Skipping class was the usual for him, but it was heavily looked down upon in Aether, even just skipping a few classes warranted expulsion in this kingdom. However Eren was always to keep his grades good enough to get away with it.

As he looked up on a billboard along the clean metal walls of the school he saw a poster for the Moonlight Ball. He smiled seeing that it was a great success here as well. He saw the photos of his classmates, he didn't smile at them, but smiled at the memories that were spent back in Vexal.

Standing beside him was Liliana and it took him a while to realize it. "Hey Eren."

Eren looked to the side and noticed that she did change her look slightly. Her hair which was usually a dark black had changed into a snow white. Her soft blue eyes were the same in her skin was pale like always. The espeon ears poking out the top of her head were droopy and her tail was very much the same.

Eren scoffed and was slightly annoyed with Liliana invading his personal space. "What do you want this time?"

Liliana meekly tucked her hair behind her ear. "We need to talk."

Eren bit the bottom of his lip knowing exactly what the young espeon was about to say. "For the last time! You are mixing me up with someone else. I don't know who the hell you are. You might say that you knew me when we were kids but I met a lot of people when I was a kid. Now would you leave me alone."

Liliana reached into her pocket pulling out a small picture and held it in front of Eren's eyes. "Do you at least recognize me in this picture?"

Eren took a look at the picture, he had seen this scene somewhere before. In the middle of the picture it was clearly him for when he was probably 2-3 years old. To the right of the picture was a small girl her face was completely covered in shadows, same with the boy to the left. "Look, all I see are shadows you might as well give up."

Liliana bit the bottom of her lip. "You really don't remember me... If you don't remember me you must at least remember Adam Aros right?"

Eren walked away at the sound of the lunch bell. "Yeah I know him... I haven't seen the guy since I was like four I think. There's not really much to talk about. If that's all I'm heading to lunch."

Liliana put her foot down and clenched her fists. "Eren! This might be your last chance to keep your promise! I can't let it be that you'd break your special promise to us that time! Adam is here for the next few months! It'll be your last chance to see him! If you want to see him then come to this address!"

Liliana threw a metal tag at Eren. The tag fell on the floor making a loud clanking noise as it bounced across the school's tiled floors. Eren stood there for just a bit longer, he looked back and saw that Liliana was gone. At his feet was the tag, he kneeled down and picked it up. He took a look at the address and noticed that it was a portable used for a school club.

After school Eren decided to head to the address. At first he was completely against the idea, but after running into Valhein several times today he just thought why not. In Aether school clubs got portables that could be picked up and moved anywhere, however to park them in a permanent spot was extremely expensive even on the expensive side from a Vexal perspective. So you could image Eren's surprise when he came across a decently sized school portable.

Just like all portables it was a half dome mostly made out of glass and metal supports. Magnetic hover pads sat at the bottom they were currently turned off which mean't the portable was in a permanent spot. He stood in front of the sliding door and it was as if someone was expecting him. A tall Ampharos pokemorph stepped out.

"Heya Eren! Long time no see!"

"Sorry do I know you?"
