The group of arrived at Oliver's house just when the door Elena came out of the house, "Oliver!" She called out in relief seeing him

Pulling him in her embrace for a bear hug, "you got me worried sick when the others returned with out you

Why do you have to run off on your own down the forest path, ain't you aware of the bandits lurking in the woods"

"Its OK....mom" oliver felt the stiffness of the last part of his words, he couldn't recall the last time he called someone mom

He was no different from an orphan giving everything he need in the hospital except familiar love

Those two knuckle head of a parant he had felt their obligations to still pay for his medical bill with no certain of survival is well enough for a timed corpse

So the words were heavy on his lips experiencing the true feeling of familiar love. His hands fidgetingly coiled around the embrace of Elena as he said for the secon time with sincerity, "Mom".

Elena embraced tightened more as if letting him go is losing him, only now did she have the time to look at the people behind him

Immediately she did, her eyes widen as she pulled oliver behind her in a jiff, shielding him away as if a furious beast in charging over

"Lora"

"Lena" Lora having the same expression on Lena face called out in disbelief

The air around the two tense up that none was daring enough to speak at the moment, well anyone except the loud mouth noisy ninja merge

"You too know each other" oliver voice cut in from the side as both lady faced him with furious tone

"Stay out of this Oliver" the voice of both lady got oliver to take a step back, especially with that look they shot him

....

Dinner time is anything like it used to be at the Olive's, the table was eerie silent even though the room had six people sharing dinner together.

Lora tired of the tense and suspenseful air slammed her hand on the dinning table, pulling everyone out of what ever thoughts were going through their heads

"Manners Lora, we are trying to have dinner here" Elena backed at her but the former didn't care

"Cut the crap with me already will ya, I still don't get it. you've been alive all along, why stay hidden and away from everyone, from me?"

Do you realize the pain and trauma I had to go through thinking I lost my younger sister"

"It was meant to remain so Lora, me being dead to everything in the past. I got a new life, a family and a home now

I wish to start afresh with them and dedicate what ever little time I have left with them"

"Wait, did you say younger sister, like the glacial goddess" Harry asked out if impulse but regretted getting into family matter he should get involved in

The predators gaze in front of him made him shrink Into his seat, cursing his damn luck for asking question whem he ought to just listen.

"Look Lora, don't take it the wrong way. You are still family and would always be but" she stop as the next words were a bit heavy for her

"Look at me, I'm just a shell of my former self. I can't stand amongst elite anymore, leaving was the best option.

Not to mention I failed on the simple tasks handed to me by the corps"

"I don't care about all that, you are my sister and that's all that matters. People make mistakes so Jo one can blame you

Especially for one out of everyone control, you weren't the only who failed or is to be blamed for ....."

"Enough Lora, we can discuss the details some other time somewhere more conducive"

Elena subtly reminded are older sister were they are and the presence of guess in their mist.

She scanned the room and gave up, sighing helpless as she couldn't truly divulge such secret matters in the open

"Hmm, sorry to ask but if you're her younger sister like she claims, how come you are way older than she is" oliver asked his mother harmlessly as he couldn't quite get how the younger one looks like the older one and even act as one

The reply was his head knocked by Lena and buried in his plate of food by Lora, creating an hilarious scene that got the confused little Nora laughing her a*s out

The others held their laughter in but you could still find the level of restrain applied on their faces turning red from holding in the urge to laugh

"So you finally awaken ehnn" Elena change the topic of the room as she finally helped herself to her meal along side Lora

Both had just being on a starring competition ever since, but now a piece of their mind had been let out

They felt they can have dinner along side the others.

"Yeah mom, awaken it today at the mine"

"Wait what" Lora, Harry and Tony blurted out in shock.

Elena kept her composure as if it wasn't something big of a deal, "I knew you would, there is no way you can a commoner

Not when you are my son, I never had any doubt about that"

"What the hell, you just awakened today and you could already duel with a tier two adept" Harry couldn't hold in his urge to asks anymore

This time it was Elena who got stun as she spill the drink she was sipping all over lora opposite her

"What did you just say?"

"It is as you've heard ma, this kid duel with me earlier today on a battle and could hold his ground for a sheer amount of time

Just to be clear, its wasn't a friendly match but rather a death match as I intended killing him for invading the insurgence camp in the woods"

Elena hearing was buzzing from the information, she lot her cool as she shot up her sit, grabbed oliver on his collar yelling at him

"You just awakened and you run off fighting bad guys, what would have happened if you lose?"

"I wouldn't have lose, sexy aunty was there with me" Oliver threw his hands up in the air on his defense, passing the comet of anger doowwn to Lora

"Lora" Lena turned to her sister with fury gaze, her eyes shooting star at her

"You better don't drag me Intl this kid, I wasn't the one who asked you so seek adventure in the wood

I only took the opportunity to offer you a proposal I knew you can reject, more importantly I quite curious where you learnt that wonderful technique you used earlier on if you only awaken today

Do you mind showing me that techniques again, it's such a powerful one I got a nose bleed from it"

Oliver curse at the cunning aunty of his, passing the fan flame back to his blossom. How the hell is he suppose to use sexy jutsu in front of his mother

She would ground him for life, she is caring and loving but at the same time fierce fork what he got from the previous oliver memories

Seeing her younger sister now, he could tell its in the genetic.

Just like magic, Elena focus shifted to him in an instant"What technique is that"

"Its nothing mom, I'm pretty exhausted today already. Can't I at least get a pass for good rest or something"

"Oliver!" Lena tone fall a lot fierce now with her forehead growing dark from being pissed off

"Lena the kid got some point, he just got out of a strenuous battle and survived. The least we can do for him is give him a good time rest"

"Don't speak shit to me" Lena let go off Oliver collar as she faced Lora, "its your fault in the first place coercing minors to do your dirty bidding

"Say the lady that did same by lying to herself and her family she is nothing more than an ordinary commoner

Unlike you, I didn't lie. I promised to take him to the capital and that's what I'm going to do"

"You did what?" Elena slum into her sit helpless, everything is spiralling out of her control way too fast. 

"Do you really have to go to the capital?" Her question directed to oliver as she sat their unknown of what thoughts were going through her head.
