Chapter 8: Lovestruck, Sudden Departure
As Ocielia sat on the couch simply wondering about what just happened between her and the kitsune girl Miurri. She sits and reflects as to what she should do once she sees her again. Luna and Silvia walk in the door and see a blushing,lovestruck and giddy Ocielia slumped on the couch. "Sweety? Why ya just laying on the couch like that? Has something happened?" Her mother Silvia asked. Ocielia was almost in like some sort of trance to say the least. "Hello? Earth to Ocielia are you alright?" Her mother asked once again.
Ocielia came too after Luna poked her cheek and kissed her face. The young dullahan quickly rose to her feet still embarrased by Miurri's presence and her sitting on her lap. In fact that's all she could think of. Miurri had done enough to render the poor girl a babbling mess. "Ocey? Honey what's up? Ya seem to be a bit..off? Everything okay? We weren't gone for too long now where we?" Luna asked. "Oh..uh..um..well..something did happen Mommas..Ya see..while I was out and about I happened to engage in a wee little fight..."Ocielia mustered surprising her two mothers.
"What? You didn't happened to hurt them too much did you?" Silvia asked with a bit of worry for Ocielia. "I wouldn't say they hurt me as much. I mean I'm literally the daughter of THE most powerful creature on Neo. What do I have to fear? Most people wouldn't dare try to pick a fight with me." Ocielia proudly placed her hands on her hips. Luna smiled and hugged her short daughter. "Well my snow-haired mini me. What did happen while you were out and about?" Luna asked Ocielia who was obviously stalling. "W..well I happened to have a run in with a kitsune for one..and for two..uh..umm..I met the Beyonders as well." Ocielia nervously stammered and nervously laughed.
Stunned by this. Luna could tell when Ocielia was lying. This was clearly the truth. She hugged her daughter tighter and knelt to her height.She placed her hands on her daughter's cheeks and kissed her on the nose. "The Beyonders must've sense that inner Aether power. I wonder. How successful were the Beyonders." Luna asked. Ocielia looked to the side and scratched the back of her head.
"W..well..uh..they had the kitsune girl fight me and uh..we brawled for a bit. After that..one thing led to another and..I..I might as well show you guys. " Ocielia said. Confused Luna and Silvia wonder what Ocielia wanted to show.
Ocielia took a few steps back and softly inhaled and exhaled. Suddenly a gentle burst of energy surrounded the whole living room. Ocielia stood in her transformed state. Amazed Luna almost shed a tear and took pictures of her daughter as she was in her very own Final Aether form. "Whoa..they must've forced you to actually go all out huh? Now if Neo is ever on danger and Momma is away. I suppose you,your cousins and everyone else can save the day huh hehe." Silvia giggled.
Ocielia smiled and looked in the nearest mirror she saw how her very being had changed. Grey skin,fiery orange hair with only a few bangs were white. Her eyes sharper and more serious in contrast to her usual rounded eyes. Her irises now pink and orange excited her. Her mother Luna made a comment on her daughter's assets. Once Ocielia looked down and noticed the increase in size. The girl over her face and blushed. She squealed cutely also.
"That's our genetics at work hun. Look at our Ocielia. So beautiful, so cute,so sweet. Her voice even is a symbol of that. Everytime she talks it sounds like it's a gentle cloud." Silvia said teasing the blushing Ocielia. "Sudden increase in her breasts and butt size aside along with her hair being long and predominantly orange now. Who was this kitsune? I have seen a few before you were born. In fact some in Fafir's old campgrounds. They are a illusive bunch I'll give them that." Luna said as she started to brush her daughter's long hair.
"Well..uh.um..this kitsune had short,messy hair..it was a bright red and her tail was very fluffy and big..Does that help Momma?" Ocielia asked Luna. Intrigued the parents wanted more details so they asked for more info."Well she claimed to had fight for the Beyonders and also happened to be very good with a double sided spear. She happened to push me to this new form. Our fight in itself was kinda short though. Probably caused we fought in space ya know hehe." Ocielia giggled.
"I see..so the Beyonders sent a kitsune with short red hair,a red tail and a double sided spear to attack you? Hmm..interesting. Did they happened to give a name?" Silvia asked. "Her name was Miurri and..well..this is kinda something I hesitated to tell you two..B..but I think..I think I have a girlfriend now." Ocielia said covering her face shyly and blushing.
The two mothers looked at one another and smiled. They towered over Ocielia yet still hugged their embarrased daughter. "You shouldn't be upset by that. In fact we where wondering when you'd even get a boyfriend or a girlfriend Oceilia, we'd thought you were uh..what's the word....asexual. or a loner." Luna casually says as Ocielia was verbally crushed by her mother's oblivious words.
"I mean you are very attractive. Thanks to us two. It's just that..I dunno..you always where a shy one. Poor baby." Luna teases Ocielia further making the girl blush even more. Ocielia looked up at her mother and playfully pummeled her legs. "Mmm..I..I never had a girlfriend or a boyfriend before Momma..w..what if I mess it up?" Ocielia innocently asked.
"Be yourself my daughter. Forget what anyone else says and if she can't accept that. That being your kitsune gf..well..I'll send her to Granny Skyra. Hehe." Luna and Silvia laughed.
"The first date is the first impression. You already showed you can fight her physically. Just relax..breath and soon..well..We'll get to meet her." Silvia said. With her newfound confidence. Ocielia hugged her mother's and went to her room. Luna got a phone call from Nea asking her to come to her palace immediately.
"Seems Nea wants to see us. You don't think this has to do with that encounter Ocielia had with the Beyonders do ya?" Luna asked Silvia. Silvia shrugged and wrapped her arms around Luna's and let Ocielia know they were leaving. Suddenly the two teleported to the new Red Palace that was originally intended for Fafir and Panna. Yet no news of the wife of the Evil One and his child Ourana.
Nea sat on the throne with one leg crossed over the other. Destiny and Psion sat on both sides of their mother in their own thrones. Psion was drinking tea and Destiny was sewing some clothes for her baby sister Ourana. She figure it's the least she could do for her. Suddenly Kuna and Silvia stood in the throne room and bowed before Nea.
"Come now Mighty Aether. No need to do all that. You and Silvia had done enough. I have some urgent news though for you and my children to hear thought. In fact all of Neo will know of this even. Let's see..how do I begin. Ahem..let all of my planet be inform." Nea says as every radio, tv and even the sirens awoke. The denizens of Neo stopped in their tracks to hear Nea's voice. Even in Hexus,Zuma was inform to broadcast this news everywhere.
"Ahem..greetings my creation,my children and the children of them. I as your Goddess of All have a urgent and possibly life changing announcement." Nea paused as all the other deities that left hiding while Fafir was under control all walked to the palace outside and listen. Nea started to shed tears and cry a little.
"There is no other way in saying this,however..umm..according to legend. I as your goddess will one day fade to the Beyonders realm. There I will finally rest and I will have to bestow my throne unto my children. Henceforth..the time for that will proceed immediately. I have faithfully served and created numerous lives for billions and BILLIONS of years,yet now..it is my time to rest." Nea said shocking all of the citizens of Neo, Luna,Destiny,Silvia and Psion.
"To my son..Psion. You once nearly toppled Neo and its entirety, yet Skyra stopped you and you where forgiven and absolve of your crimes. I love you and if your father was alive..He'd be so proud of you. To you Destiny..my dearly beloved daughter. Your father Fafir was indeed a product of my creation and apart of the original thirteen Primordials. Before he went mad..I must admit..I sentence him to a horrid fate for...defying me. That is why he wanted revenge..Ultimately..he went overboard..we got remarried..had you and divorced...Oh my daughter I seek your forgiveness even to this day." Nea pleaded to Destiny as she knelt to one knee and kiss her feet.
"I also ask that you forgive Fafir..I know he was cruel,selfish, evil,a monster in ALL definitions of the words, but he loves you deeply. You and Ourana are his future. Please..for his sake and mine..Have mercy. Oh new Goddess of All." Nea said surprising Destiny and the whole entire planet.
Shocked and at a loss for words Destiny smiled and kissed Nea on her head. "Psion. It is only fair you act on her stead when she is not around or sick. You will be her second-in-command and her advisor. Your wisdom is needed. Do well my son and fear not. I know you two will do amazing things ruling Neo and it's people." Nea said as she cried and embraced her kids.
Luna knelt and smiled. Suddenly Nea walked in front of her and hugged Luna. "Thanks to your mother Skyra and you..I have experience nothing but goodness, kindness and true friendship and happiness. Luna..make me proud. Protect this world that I love so much as Aether. It's protector,it's warrioress and It's keeper." Nea said kissing Luna on the head.
"Until the Beyonders call me home to rest. Speaking of. You can't keep them waiting Nea hehe. Ocielia already had a encounter with their warrioress. Hate for that to be you." Luna joked. Nea removed her shoes and spoke in a loud voice so the entire planet could hear. "NEOTICKIND!! FROM THIS DAY FORWARD. DESTINY AND PSION WILL BE YOUR LEADERS, YOUR GUIDANCE,YOUR HOPE,YOUR WISDOM. MAY YOU NEVER FORGET THE GOOD AND LEARN FROM THE EVIL OF THE PAST. TODAY A NEW ERA BEGINS. THE ERA OF DESTINY!!" Nea shouted. The entire planet cheered as Destiny was officially crowned the Queen of Neo. Psion was made her advisor and as soon the coronation was done. One last order was made by Nea before a Beyonder appeared to escort her to rest. "From this day forward..the evil Fafir will be sealed in a orb hidden far from prying eyes and hands..as for.my final wish...FAFIR MCFRINGE WILL BE RELEASED unto Neotic-Kind. May he be revered as the Lord of Beasts once again." Nea smiled. Destiny silently agreed as deep down she longed to hug her father again. Psion didn't like the idea,but whatever Nea said went.
At that moment Nea bid her children,Neo and everyone and everything she knew adieu.
At that moment the reality of Nea leaving and Fafir being released sunk in. Some Neotics were preparing for his arrival. Many of those effected by his evil were ready to wreck havoc once he dare show his face in their towns and villages. Nea vanished from Neo and now Destiny was presented the ultimate responsibility. "Well..as my first decree. Since Mom is now at rest. As her daughter. I say Fafir..will be under a probationary period. Say five weeks to five months. He may have his inhuman strength, but the rest of his deity powers remain in my control..Plus..I'm his baby girl so naturally I can sense my father. May he be informed as to the recent events post haste." Destiny said as she sent some soldiers to Hexus to tell Zuma.
"Wow..Goddess of All now huh? Big promotion huh hehe. Don't let that power go to that head of yours Dest..or I may have to give ya the Fafir treatment." Luna joked. Destiny floated towards Luna and hugged her tightly.
"The Aetherlings are allowed to wander Neo..just make sure they don't cause too much chaos hehe." Destiny chuckled. After this meeting. Luna and Silvia went home. They arrived to a sleeping Ocielia who had a journal titled: Knowing and Learning About the Beast God Fafir. "Oh boy. I just hope Fafir isn't too bitter. I mean I'm sure he's relived he can move again,but uh..he isn't gonna kick out butss is he?" Silvia asked. Luna ignored Silvia and left the house. Silvia took this as a no and tended to their daughter.
It was now midnight and Luna had a ounce of guilt on her mind. The times she slept with the imprisoned Fafir were now rushing back to her head. She landed near a cave and wonder..what if..just what if she was impregnated with his third child. "I..I wouldn't know..but for sure..b..but..if I am..I have to convince Silvia somehow we..we had sex and it just...happened." Luna thought to herself.
