-That night in Ceres-

Once again the night in all its seductive allure revealed itself as day felt bashfully raising her skirt tentatively for all to see. At this time the city came to life a hum of pleasure accompanying the thick excitement riding the air in a breathless heavy rhythm.

In one of the many reconstructed brothels, now one of the finest in all that that was now making a name for itself, constructed for the entertainment of one person and person alone, the infamous new leader sat in silence.

"Pregnant you say?" the immaculate figure hidden in the shadows questioned

"Yes, she went by the name of Rena and she's now relatively eight months along," Vivani reported from where he was seated around the table with the other member who had worked on the manels and took part in documenting each citizen, "she doesn't have the gift but her child does but I guess its not like the others I could tell that that it more like you."

The table was over whelmed with murmurs of varying moods.

"I see and the other, this Yagami person," as he spoke the very city seemed to fall into silence, in cold reverence for its new owner.

Vivani seemed to beam with pride, 'Yagami Sodowichi, age eighteen no none parent, his the youth he grew up with according to our data scouters was one that went by the name Yamata Sodowichi, an exceptionally skilled warrior and tactician. But Yamato's last mission revealed his end. He got caught and that's the last time Yamato was seen or heard from,"

In the shadows their leader seemed pensive his next words coming in a cloud of smoke, "and all these were residents that lived close to Dana Bahn doing the devastation I presume?"

"Yes it is as you say. However surprising they are all unharmed. Though there are evidences of slight scars aside from that the report from the health department shows that they are far healthier than the residence of Ceres in fact they are as healthy as I am." Vivani responded getting as the figure of absolute authority over Ceres rested the files he had been going through on the table.

There was pensive silence, "I am still at the point of bewilderment as to what all this could mean," one of the members of the panel and Fate's inner circle spoke up with a look of concern in his eyes, "since the devastation of Dana Bahn strange things are taking hold of Ceres from the very soil to the citizens. Of all things after all this time oi has been uncovered, a substance that was once lost for hundreds of years. And now these changes in us taking Vivani or Fate into consideration its almost frightening."

There was silence as he yet again the voice that no one hold, voiced the concerns of all that was present once again showing why it was that Fate held him in such high regard.

"Well my friend let me assure you that there is no need to fear me or any one else amongst our brethrens. We would never harm you or anyone else," Fate allowed his thoughts as well to be heard, "I can offer any words or reasoning behind any of this. As you already know I was also close to Dana Bahn when everything was thrown into chaos. Sadly I had lost my memories or any clue to who I was in that disaster. I wish I knew what the reason was as well why it is I have these strange new abilities but I will leave it to time. At the moment I'll let myself be swayed by the pleasant thought that all things happen for a reason."

He sighed and at that moment they felt the ache that filled him, an ache that sought the fulfillment of identity, an ached that desired a sense of purpose and reason for existence. It was an ache they all knew and shared all too well. Just like him they had woken up, some in a care center whilst other weren't so fortunate, lacking any sense of identity of who they once were or for what reason they were there. And slowly they found one another, all drawn to one person like metal to magnet, that one person they had given the name Fate.

"But until we find out what it is we are to do and why it has happened to us we can only move forward with what feels right," Fate concluded, "now on that note I bid you all a good night."

Ceremoniously they stood bowing deeply as he rose to his feet, "enjoy your night," they chorused.

He departed on that note leaving them to fulfill whatever it was that their heart craved. And thus they departed others staying at the table to order diner or discuss other matters whilst others ventured to the bar ready to witness the nights entertainment, a parade of erotic dancers the finest to grace Ceres.

Vivani as per usual took his coat slug over the back of the chair and made for the exit.

"Off again Vivani, still refusing to share this night with us," Roland, one of the more mystifying in Fate's circle stated from where he state by the table with a wine glass in his hand, his golden eyes following the object of his heart's affection as was everyone else.

"Unlike the lot of you young of heart I am too exhausted for such things," he stated pausing for a moment before continuing on, "but if you really do care please enjoy this night with splendor enough for the both of us."

Roland gritted his teeth fighting the urge to go after him, to gather him in his arms and take him where he stood. Reprimanding himself he banished his impure thoughts before Fate picked on it in his stream of consciousness. Finishing his beverage in one swallow he beckoned to the waitress on standby to order something stronger to wash away his desires and the thoughts of the object of his affection only having enough room in his heart for their leader.

As though beckoned by his moment of weakness the memories have the day he treasured and detested most reared its ugly head.

================= flash back to one year ago==============

The explosion had taken the lives of more than those accounted for, failing to note those in the city that was non-existent according to Jupiter's records. Most were still buried when the search had been called off after the remains of Iason Mink and Riki the Dark had been uncovered. Fate and most of the gifted others in their inner circle were amongst those who managed to miraculously survive, wounded but alive.

They had awoken like newborn babies bred from the remains of Dana Bahn, lost and without a sese of being or purpose. But they never felt alone. After a week of gaining what little aid could get they wondered around aimlessly until they found themselves simply gathering coming toward one thing even if it meant the death of them by what seemed like twice in one life time.

That's when they had met him a single person clad in a cloak that veiled his face and surpassed his ankles. On a pile of metal that must have been left their eons ago he sat as though he had been waiting for something. At that moment unknown to any of them a sense of purpose was found but sadly they could not offer even that small comfort for him as he to they.

At that point he had called out to them by names they knew not the origins of but accepted as it was. He spoke as though he had known them from eons ago and had not seen them in ages and in simply seeing him they had felt a sense of nostalgia. For weeks amidst the rubble the eleven of them sat trying t discern what it is that they knew of each other or of who they themselves actually were and foor the longest while it felt peaceful that was simply being with him with each other. But after a month they desired to move somewhere better where they could take care of themselves and their new found sense of being. They wanted desperately to find somewhere where they could hide him away from the world and keep him safe from harm but he refused time and again.

He climbed back up on his thrown of rubble and waited, only telling them that there were others who were not as fortunate to walk away with simple bruises and shattered memories. Days past and then a week but they never relinquished hope and soon enough on that fated night they came. It was two of them a male and a female, that were so identical you think them to be twins ,staggered into their small settlement in the dead of night whilst all else were asleep.

They were later named Vivien and Vivani the two halves of one soul like the moons that watched over Eos.

"You finally made it," he had climbed down from the mass of rubble to greet the newest member of their group, their family.

"Forgive me but may I ask for a drink of water?" Vivani was the first to fall after walking for miles on nothing but thin air the weight of his hunger and fatigue finally assaulting him.

There was little they possessed but the one they had travelled so far to meet would have granted them the world if they had asked it of him.

In day break as the twins, by all but blood, slept soundlessly the others who had woken to find themselves there could only stare and bask in the angelic beauty of them both.

It was on that moment he had told them that he had been named, that these two had delivered him a name that had more meaning in the future than it had at that moment.

"They had named me Fate," was all their leader had stated beaming with pride.

He had finally gotten his name and that in itself had made the wait worth it.

Another week had past and in that time so many had found their new source of affection in either or both Vivani and Vivien but much to their dismay the source of their unrequited love had only room in their hearts and passion in their eyes for Fate and only Fate.
