17: Simple, right?

Azes returned to the Flamel Manor after playing with Hyrio for a whole day inside [Azirius], he was happy to know that his beasts were fine after years inside the pocket world. Even Michelangelo, Leonard, Rafael, and Donatello had cubs! When Azes appeared in front of them, they jumped into his arms and refused to leave for a long time. To tell the truth they still in his arms right now! They never took out their scarfs, what surprised Azes is that their scarfs were completely clean with no change in color whatsoever! He rewarded them with scratches and kisses on the belly, making them laugh and quack. Each one of them had a partner, they also had between 6 and 8 cubs, Azes was really surprised to see so much Niffler in one place!

He walked inside the manor followed by four Nifflers using different scarfs, Purple, Red, Blue, and Orange! Behind the Nifflers, a Unicorn was also following the conga line, followed by Abyss behind, behind Abyss was Veneos, behind Veneos was Nulu, behind Nulu was Burn and Iceburn together with their young salamanders. Azes found a good spot on the Flamel Manor backyard and touched the ground, creating a huge tree! Rokur climbed the tree fast while Nulu and Abyss day on the left and right side, Azes sat in the middle with his head touching the tree. On his feet, Burn and Iceburn sat down together with their cubs, on Azes' sides, in arms range, his Nifflers, Fairies, Pixies, Vampire Bunnies, Bowtruckles, and more! With all these Magical Beasts around him, made Azes really happy. He lied there and would slowly hear what his magic beasts had to say to him about what happened while he was sleeping.

Azes didn't know, but Albus was watching this all happening. When he saw Azes being followed by four Nifflers, he thought that the little guys with scarfs were cute, but then a Cerberus, Nundu, Unicorn, Fire, and Frost Salamanders, Bowtruckles, and more magical creatures all around him peacefully sleeping or lying down by his side shocked him. Then the Phoenix landed on Azes' head and started to screech and chirp, Azes chirped and screeched back, the Nundu roared and growled, Azes growled and roared back, the Niffler quacked and squeaked, Azes quacked and squeaked back, the Bowtruckles snapped and twitched, Azes snapped and twitched back. Albus just stood there, watching this all happen in wonder. 'He can speak with magical creatures?' Albus thought while Azes got up from the ground, threw his top hat high in the air, the hat enlarged, becoming 10× its size! The hat landed on the ground, Azes said something that Albus couldn't understand while pointing towards the hat, all the creatures entered the hat and disappeared.

After all the creatures entered the hat, besides the Phoenix, Azes disappeared in a burst of flames with Azekel the Phoenix and reappeared inside of the Flamel Manor.

Azes made a decision. He sighed deeply and walked towards the dining room, sat on the table, and smiled at his parents. Azekel landed on the table next to him and with a chirp caught his attention. She was asking for chocolate. "No. I won't give you chocolate. Mom! Why did you give Azekel chocolate!? Now she is addicted to it!" Perenelle's laugh was heard from the kitchen, Nicolas that was at the basement experimenting could hear his son shouting, he shouted back: "It's because she wanted someone to be as fat as she is!" Perenelle's laugh stopped. "Uh oh. Dad... I recommend you run for your life." Perenelle walked slowly towards the entrance of Nicolas' basement, her steps echoed across the Flamel Manor... Then it was all screams and blood.

"Rest in pieces," Azes commented. Then he started to laugh while Nicolas and Perenelle walked upstairs also laughing with him. Albus was watching the scene a little sad, his sister was killed not long ago and his brother said it was his fault after all. The man he loved also was completely evil! Azes ate with his family, they laughed, talked, and experimented. Azes experimented with Nicolas in Alchemy and with cooking and healing with Perenelle, creating new spells and recipes. Albus was really impressed! The Flamel's heir was really a prodigy in magic and alchemy. Azes would leave the manor to walk around the backyard, talk with his magic beasts and exercise. After six months, he was back at full strength! It was then that he decided to tell.

"Dad, Mom. I'm going to Arizona." Both Nicolas and Perenelle looked at Azes. They stared at each other for some seconds before Nicolas and Perenelle sighed, saying: "Okay." at the same time. Azes sighed in relief and explained what he wanted: "I want to explore the world, I want to collect more magic beasts. Azekel wants a mate, Abyss wants a mate, Nulu wants a mate, Hyrio wants a mate... I want a... Kelpie, Wampus Cat, Hydra, Basilisk, Thunderbird, Dragon, Manticore, Horned Serpent, Acromantula, Lethifold, Chimera, Kraken, and others!" Nicolas and Perenelle laughed. When they heard Azes saying that he wanted (a...) they at first thought he also wanted someone to be his "mate", but it seems like their son can only think about magical beasts. He also wanted mythical creatures such as Hydras, Krakens, and even a dangerous one like Lethifold! They didn't know what to do with this stupid son of theirs.

The next day, Azes left. But before he left, he hugged his parents, gave them a gift: A baby Unicorn and a baby Occamy. The Unicorn obviously chose Perenelle while the Occamy chose Nicolas. How Azes left was simple, he flew without a broom! He just willed the wind to take him, his magic alone was enough to take him to the United States in four hours of flight. When he landed on the Arizona Dessert, Azes started to search for a Thunderbird, but he obviously used a disguise because it is against the law to capture a Thunderbird. Azes planned to "kidnap" a Thunderbird, and then he will rescue it, the Thunderbird will "miraculously" want to be by his side. Thunderbird got! Simple, right?
