Chapter 24: A Journey and A Gossip.

As Pyran was thinking about helping Trini, Trini immediately said, "Pyran, is it okay if I borrow Nina for few years. Mostly a decade."

Pyran was perplexed and said, "You don't need to ask me that. It is not like I'm keeping her on a leash."

Trini just smiled widely and then she turned hesitant and said, "Pyran, can you wait for 10 years before we can go on our vacation?"

Now Pyran got curious and asked, "I don't have any problem, but can you tell me why?"

Trini got excited and said, "I was planning on going out in a journey to experience the world on my own and mom suggested that I should take Nina with me. I was planning on taking the journey in a year or 2 after discussing with you. But after you provided me with the Origin Pieces, I thought this will be a good way for me to go out and select my own team. And it will also help Nina to train herself."

Pyran was enlightened and smiled gently at her. Then said, "Go out take as much time as you need. I will be here waiting for you. No need to be reserved with me."

Trini was touched and got tears in her eyes. Seeing this Gilbur and Shina had a gentle smile and Gilbur gently hugged Shina from behind. The one with no partner of her own is Nina and she was feeling uneasy and said, "Okay, That's enough! I'm the one here with no partner her. If you keep doing this, I will…... I will…... I will..."

Pyran was amused by her out burst and teased her by saying, "You will what? Nina. You will find yourselves a good man? I don't think that the guy you choose will have enough courage to get pass me and Gilbur. We have to approve him before he goes forward with his relation with you, right?" To which Gilbur nodded heavily.

Suddenly both the men got their ears twisted by their respective partners. Shina said while twisting her husband's ear, "Enough both of you. Are you planning on keeping her unmarried till her death. And who in the right mind would go against you both. If you don't stop doing this, she will stay single for rest of her life. I mean, who will shoot a person with lightning just so he wanted to talk to Nina." She eyed Pyran while saying this.

Pyran was grimacing under Trini's hand, but suddenly said righteously, "He was trying to tease her for her stupid acts. Only I have the right to do that. No one can. This is a unwritten rule when she came into the mansion all those years ago." To this he immediately got both his ears twisted.

While Nina was enjoying the torture both are facing and said, "I have grown a lot. I will find a man that will suit me. Just like Mom and Sis Trini. We will see who was mocking me then. Hump!!"

All laughed at this and they went to the mansion for dinner. After dinner, Nina and Trini went to pack the things and make arrangements before travelling. They are set to go on a week from now. So, they have lot of things to prepare and make arrangements for their absence. Trini has to find a capable assistant for replacing her and also make preparation to celebrate Pyrans birthday that night. Nina was doing the same for her roles and responsibilities. 

That night they celebrated Pyran's Birthday. It was just them and they just cut the cake and celebrated with some drinks like they usually do for all their birthday. They talked till early morning and they all went to their room for a short rest.

By the afternoon everyone was busy. Trini and Nina were making arrangements and plans for their absence. They both had to find replacements for their jobs. Nina has already trained her second in command incase of her absence so she just has to give her instructions and some training for some tough jobs that she usually does. Luckily there are no major job that was thrust to her till now so she just needs a week to train her replacement. 

Same could not be said for Trini as she was working on equal terms with Pyran. So, she has major workload. Pyran came to her saying that he will use a clone to replace her so she does not have to worry. This will be only till she comes back and all the major projects are more or less completed. So, she doesn't have to worry about Pyran being swamped.

Like that a week passed and the date of journey came. Pyran and Trini were sleeping in Pyran's room. She started sleeping with him for 2 years now. They have not crossed the line but just have more intimate moments now and then. 

Pyran woke up first, he laid there looking at Trini's face. After few minutes he said, "How long are you going to act like you are sleeping? You do know that I can easily find your acting, right?"

Trini opened her eyes and just smiled saying, "That's because I let you find my acting or else do you think you can find me doing that?" She said with great confidence. If not for the blush at the tip of her ears Pyran would have believed her. She then made herself comfortable in his embrace. 

After that they went silent. They just enjoyed each other's warmth. Trini slowly said, "I will go out to learn and will come back to you as a mature woman. Be sure to stay safe. Don't over work yourself"

Pyran just replied, "Hmm."

Trini continued, "Share your trouble with mom and dad. Also make sure to contact me if you miss me. I will do the same. Don't take all the troubles by yourself. Mom can plan things and dad can execute them perfectly. So, rely on them."

Pyran again replied, "Hmm."

Like that Trini kept on talking for 2 full hours and Pyran kept replying her with a single word. He knows that she is reluctant to part with him and she was just gathering all her courage to go out. He does not want her courage and preparations to go to waste. He will support her with all his heart.

After that, they both got up and freshened up and went to the main hall. Nina was there with Gilbur and Shina. She was saying her good byes. When Pyran and Trini went in, Shina pulled her and Nina into a long hug. She released them and said, "You girls take care of yourselves out there. Don't hesitate to ask us for help if you got any troubles. Not that you needed but please don't think that you are troubling us. We are here to help you, so, don't forget that."

Gilbur just said, "Just remember I'm always here to support you girls and I'm proud of you both."

Pyran hugged Nina and said, "You have grown into beautiful young woman. But always remember, you are the same small girl that kept asking me for treats all those years ago. So, don't forget that I will protect you with all I've got. Be safe and do what you feel like doing. I'm here to back you up." Nina nodded in his embrace and replied with a "hmm." She was trying hard to control her tears.

Pyran then hugged Trini and said, "Always remember, I love you and I'm here for you. So, go out there and enjoy. I will Miss you!" Trini just hugged him tighter and let him go. She then turned to Nina and nodded. Nina nodded back and teleported them both. Both knew if they stay a minute more, they will refuse to go and their family will accept them with open arms. But they had to do this for their growth so they left as soon as they can. 

The three of them stayed there for few more minutes and went back to their work. But suddenly, Pyran felt a Telepathic message from Nina going in a different direction from their house. He would've neglected it if it went to the command center. But it was going in the direction of military quarters.

He got curious and followed the direction of the message. 

Atsadi POV

My name is Atsadi. I'm one of the devils experiments that Sir Gilbur and Sir Pyranos saved in the abandoned territory of Naberius clan. After being saved I was not treated like a dreg of the society. I was treated like any other living being. I got the opportunity to learn, to train and to grow stronger. If you ask me, I grew up seeing the back of both Sir Gilbur and Sir Pyranos. 

The back of those two which contained the burden of saving us. Burden of leading us. Burden of providing for us. From the moment I was born I was taught to think that us devils are cruel and have little to no feelings. Somehow, I was unable to relate to that. I always thought that I have to save myselves and the fellow devils from this hellhole.

But after Sir Gilbur and Sir Pyranos came for my rescue, I was able to see someone like myself. Someone with love for fellow devils. Someone who treats the fellow devils as equal. Someone with enough heart to fight against the society to change ourselves. Even more shocking was that Sir Pyranos was younger that me. And it was by a large margin. 

I once got the opportunity to talk to Sir Pyranos. He was training very early in the military training field. It seems he came for inspection and stayed the night here. I was shocked to the amount of training that he goes through. I would have died before making a percent of that training regime.

When I was there standing dumbfounded, he called out to me asking, "Are you here for training?"

In his tone I was not able to find any form of ridicule or contempt. Just pure curiosity. So I replied politely as I could, "Yes your highness. It was my usual time to start my training."

His face changed and I though I will get blasted but what he said to me shocked my whole being. He asked me hesitantly, "Say, can you not call me like highness or sire, no wait, can you just call me Pyran. All the polite talks make me uncomfortable. And can you tell me your name please?"

I mean which devil will not have the pride to make other see that they are superior. But here is Sir Pyranos, who does not want to be called respectfully. But I should know my post so I said, "That is not okay. But I can just tone it down and call you Sir Pyranos. Will that be okay? And my name is Atsadi, sir."

It seems he was okay with it. I can still see the Grimace in his face, which to be honest is hilarious. But he was just so down to earth. We then started training and he gave me few pointers and corrected few of my mistakes. I was shocked to see a boy younger that me knows more about training than me. This goes to show he not just using his talent but he is also working hard for the strength to protect others. 

I was able to meet him few more times in the coming years. At first thought he would've forgotten me, but he remembered as soon as I was in his range. He did not treat me as another solider but as a Training friend. There was no deceit in his face or voice. This gave me more motivation to work hard and be of any help I could be. 

In the coming years, I was transformed in to our new race, Chaos originals. I worked hard and was able to reached the power of Ultimate class. When we migrated, I reached the Peak of Ultimate class and was promoted to sector commander of Southern sector. 

5 years ago, I got to meet a beautiful young woman. I'm not sure who she was all I know was that her name is Nina and she is the Commanding chief of new operation. Instantly I know that she is someone from the higher ups. And if she is handing such an operation, she must be one of the trusted Ministers.

And one day, I met with her in the same way as Sir Pyranos. And when I talked to her I instantly got the Deja-vu feeling like I was talking with Sir Pyranos. If I did not know the story of Sir Pyranos, I would've thought she was his daughter or sister. 

As the days went by, I got to met her frequently. That is when I realized that all the top brass were made by such people who were soft went met personally and hard when needed to be. This gave me few more reasons to work hard for this society. As the meeting grow more and more frequent and we both grew close and one thing led to another. Now we are boyfriend and girlfriend.

Last week I got to know that she is going on a journey with her sister. She will come back in 10 years. I will miss her but I supported her decision. I wanted to go with her but duty calls. But before going she said that she will introduce me to her family once she gets back. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I will have to work hard to reach Satan class before meeting her family so that to ensure that I can take care of her. 

I just got the message that she is starting her journey. "Go my love, I will support you and will love as always. I'll be here waiting for you and I will miss you." I replied back and got ready to go back to my training. That's when I heard,…

3rd POV.

"Atsadi! So, you were the one she chose. But damn she was secretive. She did not tell us anything" Pyran exclaimed.

Atsadi was startled and got battle ready. But when he saw it was Pyran, he relaxed and shouted, "Sir Pyranos, can you not jump out like that! You will give others a heart attack. And can you tell me what are you talking about."

Pyran got a sly smile and said, "I will tell you later. But before that, I wanted to ask you are you willing to be in my team?"

Atsadi was confused and Pyran gave a brief explanation about the Origin Pieces. Atsadi was stunned and was overwhelmed with his trust. So, he asked, "Why me, Sir Pyranos?"

"After the first training session we had, I kept an eye on you. You worked hard, did not use the meeting with me to your advantage. Even going so far as to hide it so no one can find out about our meeting. You saved almost 15% of the population that we have now. So, I was keeping your name in my team list till now. All I wanted was you to be the same as you always were. You don't have to answer me right way..." Pyran started explaining his reasoning but was cut-off by Atsadi.

"I accept" Atsadi shouted. Pyran was stunned at first but then formed an ecstatic smile and shouted, "Yahoo!! That's one down! 6 more to go!" Then he turned to Atsadi and said, "Go and pack your things you will be my family from now on. So, you will be moving with me. I'm not taking a no for an answer."

Atsadi was unable to refuse, but he can see the genuine happiness in Pyrans face. He let out a gentle smile and went to his quarters. After going through all the formalities, Atsadi was now standing in front of the Grenzaros Mansion. He and Atsadi went near the door. Pyran had a mischievous smirk. Pyran opened the door and shouted,

"Gilbur!! Shina!! Come meet your Son-in-law!"

Atsadi went pale and when he heard Gilbur's roar, "Which bastard deceived my little girl?" He was sure he could see his soul coming out of his body.
