Innis refused to say more while they rode, and by the time they stopped it was far past midnight. She hopped of the Whanoo in the middle of an open grassland and helped Minseek of the animal. They made no fire, for this part of the land was very warm during most of the year, and the stars where enough to illumine the two. As the sat on the grass, Minseek started to notice more about Innis. He knew the second he saw her that she was a foreigner like Minni, but now that his life, for the moment at least, was not in danger, he noticed that she her markings and eyes where a darker shade of blue than his surely dead friends. He did not no where she was from for, he had a very slim understanding of the world outside of his city, but he knew it must be from a different place than Minni.
“We will rest here for the night. Our destination is still a day’s ride away” she said.
“And where is our destination?” Minseek asked. The magician pulled off her boots and slipped her socks of. Her feet where as pale as the rest of her body, and just as smoothed. It was almost as if they were crafted from porcelain. She wiggled her toes and gasped in pleasure seeming to enjoy the feeling of the cool air against them. Minseek caught a glimpse of her blue painted nails and found himself getting hard. Every magicians’ feet had a unique taste, and he found himself wondering what hers tasted like.
“It is what is known as a gateway” she said, not seeming to notice the boy’s eyes on her feet. “it is a form of spell, fused with a large monument that allows instant travel between to places. Powerful magic indeed. This one leads to my tower where we will be safe” she said. Minseek tried to wrap his little mind around the concept but found that he could not. He figured that he would see it soon enough.
“Did you make it?” he asked.
“That I did” she replied, her eyes closed.
“Why not make it closer? We could be safe faster” he said.
“Gateways are large and can be used by any magician. If I created one leading to my home out in the open, we could easily be followed. Therefore, I had to find place that was large enough to make a gateway in, hidden enough to not be found by anyone but me, and close enough to be of use” she said. He nodded weakly, another question burning on his mind.
“I was not mistaken in what I said” Innis said as she curled her toes, leaving little tracks in the dirt.
“How can you be so sure?” he asked, suddenly quickening his tone. “What if you’re wrong? You have to be!” he said feeling himself getting worked up for the first time in a lone while. “Only women can use magic! My mom and sister could use magic because they were girls! You can use magic because you are a girl, all those sorceresses you killed could use magic because they where girls, Minni might have been able to use magic if she didn’t die because she was a girl. But me? I am a boy”
“You are right” she said scooting closer. Minseek found his face get a little hot. She was nothing like Minni, she wasn’t just some little girl, she was beautiful. “We are girls, and you are a boy” she said.
“Exactly!” he exclaimed.
“But you are also the exception” she said. His shoulders slumped as the confidence in her words shattered his doubts like a Warhammer to a skull.
“How can you be so sure?” he asked quietly.
“The Council of Magicians is sure” she said. “And when the council aggress on something, they are never wrong” she said. Minseek looked into her deep blue eyes for a moment and found himself glad for the cover of night. If the light of the stars was only a little brighter, she may have been able to make out the red on his face, or the outline of his hard cock bulging out of his pants.
“What now?” he asked solemnly.
“You’ll come live with me during the coming years. I will keep you safe from the council and train you in the ways of magic. One day maybe we can convince the council to let you live, and that your powers could prove useful” she said.
“And why are you helping me?” he asked suddenly “You are one of the magicians aren’t you? Why don’t you want me dead?”. She gave him a soft smile that was all at once sympathetic and dazzling. He felt his little boner stiffen more.
“Not all of us magicians can find it in ourselves to justify killing an innocent child” she said. “I imagine that there are more like me, but because of the council’s control, they are spread out and unable to act. I had to take extreme measures” she said. He nodded weakly.
“Thank you” he finally said. “I would be dead without you” he said. She smiled at him again.
“Protecting the innocent is what us Magicians should be doing” she said. She stood up, slowly circling the spot that they had decided to rest, chanting an incantation. When she had finished, she sat next to him, claiming that it was a type of ward so that other magicians couldn’t find them. Minseek laid down to sleep, but she suddenly pulled him close.
“You’ve been through a lot” she said. “At least let me comfort you to keep the nightmares at bay” she said. He rested his head against her bosoms, disguising it as if he was nuzzling into her like a son would do with his mother, before finding himself drifting off with the biggest boner of his young life.

Minseek woke up in a room by himself. Well that was a half-truth, and only partially a lie. He wasn’t entirely by himself, as there was one other person in the room with him, but the other person was in fact himself. Minseek frowned in confusion and glanced down to find his young body naked. As he glanced back up, he found the other Minseek equally naked. “Where?” he managed to say. “where are we?”.
“Lost” his twin replied. Minseeks confused frown widened.
“Lost?” he said.
“Yes, lost, that is what I just said. Lost in thought” the twin said.
“But thought is not a place” Minseek replied.
“Which is exactly why we are lost” the twin said sounding a little annoyed. “Am I really this dumb?”
“And who then who are you?” Minseek asked, taking a step backwards, his bare feet making an audible “pat” as they hit the cold stone floor.
“Well that’s a stupid question” the twin said frowning. “A very very very very very stupid question Minseek. Why would you ask that? We’re not stupid” the twin added.
“Because I don’t know who you are?” Minseek asked nervously as he tried to take everything in. The twin sighed.
“I am you Minseek” he said. Minseek shook his head as if to clear it but found that doing so made the whole room shake.
“W-what?’ he said shakily.
“That won’t work here” the second Minseek said. “Reality is no longer real; concept has taken shape. If you want to clear your head, you’ll have to do it through discussion” he said. Minseek felt himself being overwhelmed and the room seemed to be closing in on him. He took a deep breath, and the walls spread back out. He glanced around still feeling confused and a tad nervous. “There ya go!” the second Minseek said happily. “See? You understand how all this works, so why do you decide to play stupid?”
“You can’t be me?” Minseek said, his voice cracking.
“And why is that? The twin asked, tilting his head inquisitively.
“Because I am me!” he said, almost shouting.
“Bringing up irrelevant facts in an argument is called a strawman, right? We read that in a book didn’t we, and it’s pointless” the twin said.
“But it’s not irrelevant, two things can’t be the exact same thing as one another!” he said growing frustrated.
“You’re right, but I am not the exact same thing as you” the twin said.
“But but you just said that you are me! You’re…you’re…you’re contradictan yourself” Minseek said.
“Contradicting is the word your looking for, we also read that in a book remember?” the twin said, “but I suppose you are right. Let me put this in a way that you can understand” he said, stepping towards Minseek. “I am Minseek that knows, and you are Minseek that does not know” he said.
“Now what?” Minseek asked. For some reason the question scared him. The twin put his hand on Minseeks shoulder, and Minseek glanced down. There cocks where so closed together and so similar looking that it almost seemed like he was looking in a mirror.
“The truth about us” the twin said. “Who we really are”.
“This doesn’t make any sense” Minseek whimpered. The twin grinned evilly
“Of course, it doesn’t, none of this is real” he said. And suddenly everything went dark
