A/N: Thanks Sarai (I think you said your name was) for reviewing on both of my stories, Unique Torture and Fireworks and White Tigers. I really appreciate it, and the comments you made are really helping. Though I don't believe I will be doing FW again, I think I want it to go this way. I want to throw everybody into it, I want you to feel like it's being rushed. Now, for a brief history. Any thing I mention in this, might come up in both stories, maybe more if I want to continue this series kinda thingie.

A brief history.

I started out with the Shi'Ar, I thought it was awesome that they had contact with extraterrestrials. So I thought to myself, why not make your own kind of aliens? I did. I made the Shi'Aki. They started out as Shi'Ar, but some of them got into experiments and wanted to test them on themselves. The Empress (or Emperor) at the time thought it was not a good decision, but the scientists being stubborn decided to do it anyways. They experimented with all sorts of things, they would add body parts to themselves, twist people's minds with telepathy. The Empress found out about these experiments and banished the scientists from their homeworld. These outlaws ran to an ambandoned world to start over. Unfortunately for them, the experiments that they had done to themselves and others were permanent. Little did they know that they would spread into the generations. Their children were born with wings, telepathy and telekinesis to name a few. Their wings became their signature, with their mental powers not very strong. Years would pass until Dezra Backdraft comes along. By the time she's around, they have many worlds, a whole universe, under their control. In the seat they have an Empress. The whole system now is run by females, with males as only breeding units. (Pretty sad but I wanted it to be opposite of Earth in a way.) They named their main world Suguru after their first Empress. Dezra Backdraft when she was born, became a royal advisor to the Empress, so she has a very high seat. She let her views that men needed to be treated better other than just as slaves, by doing this, she was banished to Earth. And then she makes her own little home, and she's been there for a couple years, that's when Unique Torture picks up the story.

Ending note: It's all a bit confusing at first, but you'll get it in time... I hope. :-D Taris and his siblings are not very strong mentally, but it's just enough so that they can do amazing things. Oh and the mental abilities kind of thing, it started out strong, but faded as time went on, so if any of them have children (which is probably likely) their kids will never be as strong as them unless they are born as telepaths. Ok? If you have any questions about what I'm doing with all this stuff, don't hestitate to press the little GO button at the bottom of the screen. Until the next chapter... ADIOS!
