Tieria was told that the high priest of his cult wanted to see him shortly this meeting that virtually sealed the fate of mankind. He did not want to think about it and the last thing he wanted was to meet another human who was bound to be as brainwashed into adoring Innovators as Mileina. His first impulse had been to get him to go away and simply bask in the joy of being reconnected in a very new future. It was Mileina's clutching at her simple robe in an attitude of worry that made him rethink his decision.

He adorned himself in a golden gown studded with small scale-like plates that covered his whole body as well as his head, serving as a crown of sorts. Tieria received him in an impressive hall. Marble walls and spiraling columns filled the vastness of space and met the ceiling an incredible height.

He ascended a dais and sat at a throne, Mileina taking her place by his feet on a low pillow. Tieria had put the bracelets again, partially because they looked great with the overall outfit and partially because he felt more at ease with them than without.

A short and heavily bearded man was announced and crawled slowly on all fours, his eyes never lifting the floor. Against himself Tieria was vaguely repulsed at this ugly creature. He had been surrounded by too much flawless beauty in the form of the Innovators for far too long not to react negatively to human imperfection. Tieria had read about how he should behave as an Innovator god and he now adopted that role.

"You may speak."

The man bowed even more deeply, his face becoming a briskly mop as beard mingled with eyebrows.

"I am honored to be let into the presence of Master Erde, Angel of the Earth, great Innovator, God of the new world."

Tieria almost burst out laughing. The solemnity of the moment was supposed to be imposing. But the list of epithets was just too much. None of them was even remotely accurate. Tieria felt immense sadness even as he fought laughter as best as he could.

"You asked for an audience with me, human. State your reasons for having done so."

He wondered how Regene would handle this. Probably much better.

"I am here as a representative of the human faction, Your most humble servants. We beg the great Master Erde to save the colonies from the wrath of Master Almark."

Tieria blinked. He was glad that the man was not allowed to look directly at him or he would surely see how surprised Tieria was at this.

"Do you speak about the incident at L-7 colony?"

'Incident' was a great understatement. Tieria did not want to remember how the colony had imploded right before his eyes. Nor did he want to think about how lust had made him indifferent to the loss of so many lives. And he particularly did not want to consider his own role in Ribbons' plan for a brand new world. Up to this point Tieria had been a passive agent. Even as mankind fell apart bit by bit he had been removed, detached, pacified into not caring enough to look into it. Absolved of responsibility. But no more.

"Yes. We believe that the great Master Almark is angered with us and wish for Master Erde to pray and intervene for the sake of His slaves. Oh Angel of the Earth, we beg of you to spare us!"

Tieria almost got up and fled the scene. The bracelets clattered as he settled uncomfortably in the throne. He had no idea of what to say. Nothing occurred. His mind was a blank.

"I will see what I can do."

He wondered at the back of his mind as to why Ribbons and Regene had even bothered to create this whole Innovator based religion only to destroy its believers along with every human. It was deliberately cruel. Perhaps they had done it just to upset him. Tieria would not put it past them. As for his lame rely, the leader of the cult accepted it joyously.

"Thank you, oh Angel of the Earth!"

Tieria was beginning to get really tired of hearing this.

"It's fine."

"Let us introduce You to our best priestesses."

Tieria watched as a parade of women in purple robes strolled into the chamber. He tilted his head curiously. He had researched about them and heard much about them but this was the first time actually them

"Is this what you want to become?"

Tieria turned to Mileina, his royal golden outfit clinking slightly.

"Yes, Master Tieria!"

Tieria contemplated them again. They clearly were beautiful as far as humans went.

"You. What do you like about the Church?"

The girl in question replied without looking at him. This too was becoming frustrating.

"As the priestesses of the Tieria Erde Church we love the purity and-"

Tieria burst out laughing. It was hilarious in a very sad way.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to mock you. But that's just-"

Laughter caused the metal scales to jingle and tears flowed down his cheeks. He wondered when it was the last time he had laughed this hard. That he had priestesses devoted to him was silly enough but that they should be some kind of vestals, dedicated to purity and whatnot was too absurdly ironic. He suspected that this too had been arranged by Regene and Ribbons and probably for his sake.

The humans let him laugh without saying a word.

"You may all leave now. Thank you, it's been a while since I was this amused."

Amused and saddened, he reflected, as he left the hall and headed back to his quarters, Mileina on tow. He felt very tired and depressed so he simply let the golden metal robe fall to the floor and crawled under the soft sheets of his huge bed.

"What should I do, Master Tieria?"

He fluffed a pillow and rested his pillow on it.

"Do whatever you do for fun. I don't really care…"

Tieria heard one of the doors of an antechamber slide open. Someone was on his way to see him and he did not want any Innovator to find Mileina here. He made a quick decision.

"Get under the bed. Now."

For once Tieria was glad that Mileina obeyed him so readily on all things. Because she had not disappeared under his bed for more than a second when Regene waltzed into the room, carrying a tray with a crystal bottle filled with purple liquid.

"Hello, Tieria. Is your interview done?"

"Yes."

Regene's eyes glittered with joy as he sat next to Tieria and poured him a glass of grape scented wine-like liquid. Just from the fragrance Tieria could tell that aphrodisiacs had been added to it. He knew by the way his blood began to heat up just by the scent alone.

"Here is something for you. To refresh you."

Tieria took the glass. He had a feeling that drinking this while the human girl was in the room was not particularly wise but by the time he had finished drinking he had forgotten all about her. Or anything else other than the growing need that was increasing by the second. The fact that he was naked did nothing to dampen his lust. Tieria slipped out of the sheets and kissed his twin with relish.

"Is that good?"

Tieria nodded. He wanted to be touched. Regene poured himself a glass and drank it, much to Tieria's surprise. It was not like Regene to take anything that would cause him to lose control.

"I thought that we should try something different this time around. To celebrate your getting back to Veda."

Tieria was slightly giddy. Regene always had new tricks up his sleeve but this was very different. It became stranger as Regene undressed and clambered onto his lap. Tieria was trying to figure out what was going on as Regene kissed him but his mind was far too muddled as the aphrodisiac ignited his veins. Regene pushed him unto his back, almost roughly and stradled him. Tieria could only close his eyes in surprise and moan in unexpected pleasure as Regene open himself and let Tieria's erection slide into him.

"Now look at me, Tieria."

He obeyed out of instinct more than anything else. Trust Regene to remain dominant as the bottom. Regene remained smiling gleefully even as Tieria buckled upwards into the hot tightness that was driving him insane. Despite the conditioning he could not keep himself from doing it.

"Regene…can you please move?"

His voice was hardly above a whisper.

"Of course."

Regene was true to his word and rode Tieria with well calibrated speed. Just enough to have Tieria begging for more. This was yet another power trip but it was working. Submission came in all forms and shapes and Regene knew very well how to push all of his buttons. Tieria was not used to this, usually he was simply utterly stripped of power without any pretense but here he was given mock control. He reflected very briefly on this right before Regene slowed down, deliberately, causing Tieria to whimper.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Tieria could feel Regene's erection dripping on him and he made a fist around it. He began to stroke. Regene reacted by moving faster. Apparently the aphrodisiac was having an effect on him as well. This was all Tieria could think before Regene picked up the pace yet again. Tightness crashed into him and he briefly wondered how he was supposed to endure this and then the two of them were coming at exactly the same time. Tieria hardly felt Regene splashing him with warm whitish liquid, he was too dazed by his own orgasm.

As Regene climbed off him, semen dripping down his thighs, Tieria became aware of two things. One, Regene was still smiling in that knowing way of his and would always be the dominant twin no matter what happened. And two, the aphrodisiac was still working its way into both of their systems.

"Do you still need my help, Tieria?"

Normally Tieria would just beg but this time around he was far too overcome by the stimulant. He kissed Regene, almost harshly, and brought their naked bodies together, smearing the semen on his belly all over Regene. If anything, he was needier now than ever. It seemed that the more the aphrodisiac worked on him the more powerful it became.

As things stood they remained rock hard and very much aroused. Regene simply got him on his side and using a leg for leverage gave him one sudden thrust that hit Tieria with enough force to get him to grasp at the sheets and hold unto them for dear life. Regene fucked him fast and furiously, breaking into him with redoubled impact with each impact and causing Tieria to just moan continuously. He could hardly breathe but it did not matter.

Tieria did not mind breaking in two at this point and Regene coming inside of him topped him over. The drug, whatever it was, fed his orgasm and rendered him utterly silent, his voice eclipsing altogether as hot pleasure surged through his body and swept his mind free of thought. He came messily, spewing all over the highly expensive sheets. And as tired as he was, as spent as he felt, Tieria's arousal did not abate. He now regretted having accepted that drink, it might drive him completely mad. Assuming that he was not so already, he reflected briefly as he considered how much he had changed at the hand of his fellow Innovators. But he had no time to ponder any further because Regene had him on all fours and was moving in behind him.

Regene pried a finger into him and smiled at the yet noises. He spread Tieria's buttocks and watched semen drip.

"Regene…I need more."

It was always a matter of time until he was brought to begging.

"I'll give you what you need, my beautiful Tieria. But first, finish yourself off for me to see."

Tieria did not hesitate and turned around, knees wide apart, stroking himself with desperate speed. It was not uncommon for him to be asked to perform on himself and his fist was a blur as it ran up and down his erection. Regene watched him with an eagerness that Tieria had not seen in a long time. Regene's eyes shone with that typical Veda glimmer as he moved forward so that as Tieria came he splashed his face. Regene licked his lips and scooped warm liquid from his splattered cheeks. Tieria licked the rest, almost enjoying the salty flavor that settled on his tongue.

"You're a good boy, Tieria."

Regene fluffed his hair as if he were some sort of loving pet. Which, all things considered, was not a far cry from reality. Tieria was still hard and he got on all fours again. The bed was becoming a slimy mess but Tieria did not at all care. He spread himself wide open and wiggled his ass in the air.

"Can I have my reward, Regene?"

It was something of a gamble but Tieria knew that even Regene was being affected by the aphrodisiac. He was not disappointed as Regene gave him one hard thrust that rocked his entire body. Tieria pushed back out of instinct and Regene gripped his hips to steadily fuck him senseless.

"Do you love me, Tieria?"

"Ye-yes, I love you. Regene…"

Tieria's voice was raw and low but he meant it. Even if he would have said anything to get Regene to plow into him harder and faster. The rush of orgasm was beginning to cloud his mind all over again.

"I love you too. But as good a boy as you are, you'll let me come first, won't you?"

"I'll try-"

Tieria did his very best to try but his body ran away with him and climaxed almost immediately. Regene followed shortly, tsking even as he released into what Tieria felt was the back of his throat, as if his body was being ripped apart.

"My, my. You did not even try. I am so disappointed."

Tieria managed a whimper. He was sticky all over and now slumped on semen soaked sheets, his arms far too weak to support him. His breath was ragged and he was utterly spent yet still his erection raged on.

"I tried- I really did- I just couldn't help it."

Tieria was almost too far gone to care for the penalty that he knew was sure to come but that all changed as he heard Regene say,

"I will have to punish you, my dear one."

Tieria's alarm only increased as Regene took the bottle and poured it all over his naked body, the grape scent almost overpowering him as the liquid immediately seeped into his veins and turned into flowing fire.

Tieria wept out of frustration as the aphrodisiac ignited every cell in his body. After that everything became a blur of heat, breathless pleasure flesh striking flesh. He lost count of time but surely many an hour had rolled by while he frantically got fucked in every way possible. The sheets turned into a slippery mess before Tieria ran dry. Even then his body craved more. Dry orgasms followed and Regene teased him with snarky taunts that he hardly heard. His voice died on him from too much screaming and he was drenched in semen and sweat as well as saliva, Regene having licked most of the grape scented aphrodisiac off his skin. In the small intervals between an orgasm and the next exhaustion sank into his limbs and after a while Regene had to completely take over and did him brusquely, often from behind.

Eventually even Regene became somewhat tired and resorted to pushing him flat on his stomach, pounding into him, erratically. It was hit and miss since Regene's thrusts were jerkily aimed and so Tieria had to jerk off a few times. Tieria's mind was a blank upon which bursts of insane pleasure mingled with raw need. He vaguely wondered whether they would simply drop dead but he could not bring himself to care. Not being satisfied was every bit as bad as dying while the constant ecstasy consumed his body and taxed his mind.

He did not precisely know when he passed out but eventually consciousness faded away as did desire. Tieria had but an indistinct impression of being carried in Regene's arms and placed in scented water that washed him clean. Then there was a fluffy soft sofa and fresh sheets that felt like heaven on his now almost broken body. His last thought before completely collapsing was that he was happy that Regene joined him in bed and then oblivion claimed him.
