1 Be Happy, Nixie

Stars. These amazing objects in space that provide both heat and light in space. Mankind has studied its own star, which was known as the Sun, for many years. They never got close to this mythical object, however, there was a race that did.

The race of supernatural beings that called themselves gods, roamed space as if it were their own territory. Battles would ignite everywhere for various reasons. These gods, however, were different from what many humans worshipped. They did bleed. They did die. They did have emotions.

Stars were the homes of these mystical beings who called themselves gods. They each had their own territory and thousands lived inside the core of a star.

The Sun, that provided heat and light to the world of humans, Earth, had many of these gods. One particular god, or in this case, goddess did not enjoy being the trapped in such a battle filled the world.

Goddesses were the most beautiful of all the gods. Others would lust for their beauty, sometimes even enslaving many for their own dirty goals. The goddess that lived in the Sun, was the last remaining goddess. She was the only female god that hadn't been enslaved, however, this was soon about to end.

"Little sister, you have to leave, now!" Inside the great Sun, a dashing man who looked around the age of twenty rushed into a room. This room, which was covered in beautiful purple flames, was filled with glorious objects and plants. Each plant exuded an aura of fierceness, however, there was also a hint of gentleness present in the plants.

In the center of the large flaming room, there was a small field of beautiful pink and red flowers. Each petal seemed to be made from flames, while the center of the flower had a small round object that released a blinding light.

The flowers circled a stunning woman. Her long, silky, red hair spread on top of the flaming fire, while she looked at the incoming man with her seductive golden eyes. Slowly, she got up from the field of flowers, showcasing her porcelain, pale skin. Her clothes, which allowed one to see the attractive legs and arms, were as yellow as the sun.

"Brother? What happened?" This woman, who could cause empires to collapse, wrinkled her gorgeous, slim eyebrows. Her curvy figure was fully exposed because of the tightness of her dress, however, the man didn't have a single reaction at the sight.

"My little sister, the time has come. Father is blocking the large army, however, he won't be able to hold them back for too long. You must escape." The man looked sorrowfully at his sister which could be considered as one of the most beautiful goddesses in the whole universe.

"Father? Is he alright? What is going on?" Her eyes began to water up, as she began to slightly tremble.

The man saw the reaction and felt his own eyes become slightly red. "Don't ask too much. I will help you get to safety. Come, follow me." The man quickly dashed forward and grabbed his little sisters, thin wrists.

The man led his sister through different passageways. Their speed was astonishing, impossible to keep up with the naked eye.

"Where are we going? What is going on?" The gorgeous woman still had a look of fright and confusion. She didn't know what was going on, however, she suddenly felt something land on her pale cheeks.

Extending her small hand, she touched the watery substance. Quickly, her eyes looked up and saw her older brother looking back at her with tearful eyes.

She had never seen her brother cry, not even when their mother died. He had grown up earlier than anyone his age and become extremely mature. Not only that, but his face also seemed deathly pale.

"B-brother, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" She felt extremely dumbfounded, but also very worried.

The man looked away and faced forward. "Little Nixie, do you know why mother died an early death?" He asked his sister while his voice seemed choked up. Nixie, was extremely young when their mother died. She didn't even get to see the body, let alone be told of how her mother died.

"Didn't you and father say that she died because of old age? Zale, tell me what happened!" Nixie asked with some confusion, however, her heartbeat began to rapidly increase.

Zale clenched his teeth as his face became ferocious. "Mother did not die because of old age. She… committed suicide." Zale spoke slowly, as his voice became more heart-wrenching.

"S-suicide? W-why would mother want to kill herself?" Her voice choked up. She felt great confusion. Her mother was a beautiful woman that was loved by her father very much. She got everything and lived a happy life, so why would she commit suicide?

"Nixie, do you know why we have never allowed you to step outside this star after mother's death?" Zale asked again, however, he didn't wait for a reply. "This universe is extremely cruel to woman. Mother killed herself after being… raped by our very own uncle." As he spoke with a choking voice that had a great amount fury and killing intent.

He wasn't super young when he saw what happened. His age had already reached maturity, however, that didn't mean he had seen everything there was to see. Back then, he was considered a teen when he himself witnessed the devastating scene of his uncle humiliating his mother. His beautiful mother, who he considered to be more important than his own life was crying and wailing underneath that demon. In his fury, he attacked his uncle, only to attract his father. After that, his uncle was killed, but his mother also didn't stay alive a day more.

"N-no! Mother was…" Nixie covered her mouth with her small hand as tears dripped down her face. She felt extreme pain as she thought back to the woman who took care of her until she vanished all of a sudden.

"Right now, there are people outside the star who want to do the same thing to you." Zale didn't hide a single thing from Nixie. "Father and I will not allow such a thing to happen again. We will not allow you to be harmed the same way as mother. Never!" Zale's grip on Nixie's hand's tightened.

He turned his head and looked at his beautiful sister. He felt his heart being slowly into his pieces. His little sister had a striking resemblance to their mother, and whenever he saw his sister, he could only think back to his own mothers crying and wailing.

For hundreds of years, he and his father hid Nixie from the world, making sure that she would not attract the attention of people like their uncle, but their hope was crushed. Someone found out about Nixie and came for her.

"Nixie, father and I made a vow that we would never let you suffer the same humiliation as mother. Since we couldn't protect her, we will protect you." Zale's voice became deeper as he looked at his sister.

"Brother, what's going to happen?" Nixie had a suddenly felt her heart begin to rampage.

"We will send you to a place where no one will find you. You will live there, without having to worry about anything." Zale sadly smiled when he mentioned Nixie leaving.

"W-what about you and father? I don't want to leave you and father!" Nixie began to panic. Her eyes blurred as she struggled to escape Zale's grip on her hand.

Zale's face contorted. He looked as if he was in great agony. "Brother? What's wrong. What happened to you?" Suddenly seeing her brother in such pain, she quickly looked towards his chest.

Fright covered her eyes when she saw that there was a huge hole present in her brother's chest.

"Zale! Where are you going? Are you planning on enjoying such a beauty alone? Haha!" Suddenly, laughter resounded in the large hall. Zale's eyes darkened as he looked forward.

"Kae, you bastard! You coward, can you only attack from the shadows?! Come out and face me if you still consider yourself a man!" Kale yelled out. He looked forward and found ten people walking towards him. In the lead, was an old man with a small beard. His face had a long scar that went from his right eye to his chin. His face was extremely hideous.

"Zale, if I were to attack you, the great warrior of the orange flames, directly, would I even have a chance?" The old man was surprisingly the person who Zale called Kae.

"Don't go too far, Kae. Even with this wound, I am able to kill you and your lackeys." Zale had a dark smile when he looked at the incoming Kae.

"Haha! Of course, I know this. Do you think that I have only brought these few people?" Kae laughed before waving his hand.

*RUMBLE*

Zale's face turned ghastly pale. He looked behind the ten people and found thousands of bulky warriors. Each and every one of those warriors aura was not weaker than Kae's.

Kae looked at Nixie before his eyes suddenly brightened. "Haha! What a beauty, what a beauty. Zale, you truly are selfish. You were going to enjoy her alone, right? Selfish." Kae shook his head as he looked at Nixie with a lustful look. "Alright boys, that is the woman. After I have my turn, you guys can use her one by one. Keke!" Kae laughed lustfully before everyone in the surrounding also began to laugh. All of them looked at Nixie, thinking of devouring her whole. '

Seeing such a sight, Nixie panicked and hid behind her injured brother. Zale smiled towards her and patted her small hand that rested on her shoulder. "Kae, even with such an army, I will never allow you bastards to touch my sister! I will sacrifice my life if I have to!" Zale's eyes became bloodthirsty as he looked at the thousand-plus people in front of him.

"Sigh. You truly are a selfish person. But really, I wonder. If this sister of yours is such a beauty, how good would the mother have been? I can only dream of being on top of such a woman now." Kae shook his head as he looked mockingly at the furious Zale. However, to his surprise, Zale didn't charge towards him recklessly.

"Zale! Nixie!" Suddenly, a man appeared from behind the two. His voice was hoarse and exhausted. Zale didn't turn his head, however, when Nixie heard the voice she turned around and looked at the appearing figure.

"Father!" She let go of Zale and ran towards her father. She jumped into her fathers' arms before crying quietly. She let go and began to frantically inspect her father. "Father, you're injured. Father!" She panicked when she saw the devastating wounds on her father.

This man, who was called Father, was also extremely dashing. Although he was pale and had many wounds, one could see that his body wasn't extremely bulky but had extremely refined muscles. He had short red hair that matched his daughters.

"My little Nixie, father will make sure that nothing happens to you." He looked at his frantic daughter and couldn't help but smile at her lovingly. He lost his wife in a tragic manner and felt like killing himself back then, but because he had a daughter and son to raise, he clenched his teeth and forced himself to live on.

Zale turned around and looked at his father sorrowfully. He then unequipped a large sword that was wrapped around his back. A deadly aura was released as he straightened his back and removed the hand that covered the gaping hole in his chest.

"Father, take little Nixie away. Help her get to safety, I will hold these bastards back." Zale didn't turn around and continued to stare a Kae and the thousand men.

"Zale, you take your sis--" Just as he was about to finish, Zale swung his sword, causing a small whirlwind to pick up. He turned his head and looked at his father, while tears slowly streamed down his face.

"Back then, I was unable to save mother because of my weakness. I couldn't kill that bastard of an uncle. I let mother die back then, but this time, I will be the one to protect. Father, allow your son to protect little Nixie." Zale turned his head as memories of his mother began to resurface. He couldn't help but tremble as he wiped his eyes with his sword held hand.

Duxor, who was the father, couldn't help but also tremble slightly. He didn't see what happened back then, only Zale witnessed the tragic scene. When he got there, he could only see his gorgeous wife on the ground as bruises covered her naked body. She had tears in her eyes, this was his most painful experience.

"Don't worry, son. You fight to your heart's content. I will bring your sister to safety, so make sure that you are still alive before I come." Duxor looked at his son that valiantly blocked the enemies as he quickly embraced his daughter and dashed away.

Zale had a faint smiled when he saw his father leave. He looked back at the thousand-plus gods in front of him and slowly walked towards them. "All of you son's of b*tches will die under my sword. Today will be when I finally unleash all of my powers!" Zale's eyes became extremely red as his body began to sway.

Kae became extremely cautious and also got into battle position. "Get ready, this will not be easy." He said quietly, however, every person heard him. They all knew of the amazingly strong Zale. They also felt somewhat frightened by the dense killing aura that Zale released.

Zale began to sprint towards the group as his blade was just at his side. "AHH!"

"FIGHT! KILL THIS BASTARD!" Everyone else also screamed before rushing towards Zale.

------------------------------

Further behind Zale, Duxor was quickly escaping with Nixie. He felt his heartthrob when he left his son to fight the thousands alone, however, he resolved his will. He needed to get his daughter to safety first.

"Father, what about Zale? Will he be alright?" Nixie asked while tears continued to drop down her cheek.

"Don't worry about that boy. He is much stronger than you can imagine. He will be alright." Duxor wasn't sure whether he was consoling Nixie, or himself. Although he knew his son was extremely powerful, he still felt worried for him.

'Son, you better be safe by the time I get there. You must be safe!' Duxor inwardly said this but showed Nixie a reassuring smile.

They ran for thirty minutes before reaching a small room. It was completely black, except for one item. It was a small yellow globe that looked like a mini star.

Duxor went forward and grabbed the mini star. "Father, what is that?" Nixie looked at the mini star as she asked.

"This is a star core that I obtained years ago. It turns a god into a mortal." Duxor said with seriousness. The star core in his hand was from no ordinary star. It was from the collection from the god of rebirth. It was special because it could turn any god into a mortal, making them unable to ever muster any power.

Duxor suddenly appeared in front of Nixie before gently handing her the mini star. "Little Nixie, I want you to absorb this. It will make you into a normal mortal." He said with some reluctance.

"W-why do I have to become a mortal?" She didn't understand why she would need to become a mortal in order to escape. Wouldn't having powers make it easier for her to survive?

"My little girl, just do as I say." Duxor gently rubbed his daughters head before a look of pain surfaced within his eyes.

Nixie hesitated before nodding her head. He quickly absorbed the mini star core. Her powers began to disappear before she turned into a complete mortal. She was still extremely beautiful, but there were some small changes. Her previous bright red hair was now golden like silk. Her yellow eyes, however, were now purple. Although she had changed, he beauty was still extremely enticing.

She then looked at her father. She was about to say something when she felt something hit her nape. Things began to turn black as her eyes slowly closed.

"Fa...th...er." Her eyes were now completely closed. Duxor looked at his fainted daughter before his eyes also began to water up.

He pulled his sleeping daughter into his embrace and silently cried. "My little girl. Father is unable to protect you from here on. I will send you to a safe place, where you can live as a normal person" He cried softly before waving his hand. Suddenly, a small phoenix appeared.

"Sire! What happened to you?! AH! Goddess Nixie!" The Phoenix began to scream before flying towards Nixie who was sleeping in Duxor's arms. The Phoenix was very small, maybe the same size as Duxor's head.

"Lisd, I want you to reincarnate my daughter. Send her to that world of humans where there is no magic. It should be nearby." Duxor said seriously.

"Sire, are you sure? Wouldn't that mean she would be away from you and lord Zale?" Lisd asked, however, his voice was filled with sorrow.

"Yes, please do it." Lisd nodded his head before transforming into a ball of fire. He then enveloped Nixie. "Nixie, live well. Lisd, I will leave her to you. I need to go and find my son." Duxor then quickly disappeared after giving his precious daughter one last glance.

--------------------

*Boom* *Sishhhh*

Sounds of battle continued in the place where Zale was. His body was covered in cuts, one could even see that he lost one his arms and that the wound on his chest continued to bleed profusely.

On the ground, there were hundreds of corpses, however, the air still had hundreds more. "Haha! Zale, how long can you keep this up? You have lost an arm and too much blood. You won't be able to survive much longer." Kae looked at Zale who was barely able to stand. Although he was smiling on the surface, he was extremely frightened on the inside.

"I won't fall even if I lose both my arms and legs!" Zale said with some fury.

"Zale! Why are you so persistent? Your sister is the last goddess remaining. Every other goddess is either dead or trapped by the strongest gods. We need your sister to help relieve ourselves. Haha!" Kae's evil laughter reverberated throughout the hall. What Kae said was not wrong. Most goddess' were dead and only a small amount were left. However, those that were alive were enslaved by the strongest gods. There were no woman left for the many gods' this made them extremely angry. Once they heard news about Nixie, they couldn't control their lustful desires, and charged in, not caring about the consequences. Once they saw Nixie, their lust grew and they also began to dream about being able to devour her slowly. This desire made them all ferocious, uncaring for their lives.

"HAHA! Kae, you bastards are really unfortunate. My sister will escape. None of you will be able to even touch her. Not only that but when my father arrives, every single one of you bastards will be killed. HAHA!" Zale's laughter was extremely sorrowful and frightening. One could tell that he felt very sad about the whole situation but also felt very angry.

*SWOOSH*

Zale heard the sound of wind rushing from behind him. He slightly turned his head and faintly smiled. He looked relieved as tears began to appear in his eyes once again. 'She escaped! My sister escaped!' He couldn't help but scream inside.

"ZALE!" Suddenly, he heard his father scream towards him. Zale turned around and…

*SCRRRRSSHH*

The smile of relief that was on Zale's face froze. "F..ath..er! Is… lit...tle… Nix..xie... Sa-" Before Zale could even finish his sentence, his head slowly fell from atop his head. That one second of distraction costed him his life.

"ZALE! ZALE!" Duxor bolted with insane speed towards the fallen Zale. The latter's rolling head was caught by Duxor whose trembling hands frantically tried to attach it back to the body. "No! Zale! Please, don't die! Zale! No!" Duxor cried like a child at the sight of his dead son. The head kept coming off, it wouldn't attach. Everyone watched the scene without feeling the slightest bit of pity.

"Such a tragic scene. But this is what you get. Not only did you have a goddess for a wife, you didn't share her with all of us. And now, with a goddess daughter, you still act so selfishly? We all just wanted a turn with her." Kae spoke with hatred in his voice.

Duxor's eyes looked at Kae with an intense amount of hatred and sharpness. "A-all of you will pay! Every last one of you will be buried with my precious son!" An aura suddenly erupted from Duxor's body. It was much sharper and stronger then Zale's.

Kae's eyes contracted before moving back. "K-kill him! Take him out!" All the survivors hesitated before rushing towards Duxor. The latter stayed in his spot, waiting for the large group to attack him.

When they finally approached him, he began to frantically slash. "Kill! Kill! KILL!" He kept repeating those words as the faces of his son, daughter and wife appeared in his head. He lost his wife, his daughter was gone, and now his son had also departed from the world. Anger boiled up from within him, as his slashing become more vicious and his aura stronger.

"T-this lunatic!" Kae watched with panic as every person that neared Duxor was beheaded.

-------------------------------------

Soon the battlefield was completely silent. All except for one was alive. That one person held a large sword which had a head on its tip. The head was that of Kae's, while the last man was none other then Duxor.

He had a single arm and leg left. One of his eyes were gone, while one of his ears were sliced in half. Duxor hopped towards the headless body of his son.

"My child, you have fought well. You have saved your sister, so please be happy in the other world. I hope you see your mother there and tell her that I will be joining you both very soon." Duxor kissed his son's forehead before lifted his sword and pointing it towards his throat.

"My little girl Nixie, please live on. Be happy, all three of us will continue to watch over you." Duxor's blade slowly pierced his throat. Taking away his life with it.
