The bloated toad left. Well... Im guessing his war declaration finished the party...?
.
Slate: What now Noctis? Do we evacuate the women and children?
.
Noctis: What? Why would we do that now? Noroh only JUST declared war.
.
Slate: Uhh... Isnt that a damn good reason to start evacuating? Am I missing something?
.
Noctis: The Realm has yet to choose a battle ground or start the draft. We are safe for a month for now. We will send the girls to school as planned but they will go to a war academy. The Royal Family of 15 fights in its own wars. I expect you to join the girls Slate.
.
Slate: That goes without saying but first... the 7 of us need to talk. There is a problem forming...
.
Noctis: Problem? What problem?
.
Slate: This is family business... as in ONLY family.
.
After taking a few seconds to think, Noctis called an end to the party. The guests were more then understanding given Noroh's declaration earlier.
--------------------------------------------------------------
.
After everyone left... Lunafreya, Noctis, Slate and the girls gathered in the throne room.
.
Noctis: Ok Kid... whats the family problem?
.
Slate: Its Ink, Kareena, Me and especially Marina. Our natures are manifesting. Im not sure to what extent they will... but for Me and Marina, its started.
.
Lunafreya: Natures? I dont understand...
.
Slate: Its aspects of our gifts that are starting to show as we age. For me... its the ease that I ended that sorry excuse for a persons life. That was an overreaction due to my Binyip lineage. They tend to be fiercely protective of their partners. Marina is being effected more strongly though...
.
Everyone glances to Marina and see that she is looking straight at me. Her eyes are actually lightly glowing Crimson.
.
Marina: What are the effects I should be looking out for?
.
Slate: Well... due to the gifts the gods gave us... We can expect much stronger... uhh... "Urges" to romantic partners. Dont get me wrong, we should only want those we accept.
.
Noctis: I dont want to know this...
.
Slate: Thats not all. Ink will be able to feel when someones life is getting close to ending naturally from her Banshee lineage, She will be curious and playful from her Fairy Queen too. Her extra sensitivity to noise is from her Banshee half.
.
Slate: I expect Kareena to gain a fondness for learning and extraordinary strength from her Hakutaku side. Im not sure how her Apsara side will influence her but they love to dance and naturally form milk that helps heal and restores youthfulness to the drinker.
.
Slate: Marina is a Mix of 4 extremely special lineages. She is a Chimera of an Amazoness, Apophis, and a Hellhound. The Amazoness bloodline gives unmatched combative prowess. They live for 2 things... Fighting and mating with their mate. They dislike any male weaker then them. The Apophis is the Queen among Snake bloodlines. They do NOT take being insulted well. Part of the reason I ended that trash was so she wouldnt.
.
Marina widened her eyes at that. She also started to growl lowly a little.
.
Slate: And right now... she cant help but growl due to the Hellhound in her. She most likely feels that I am looking down at her. Hellhounds are untameable. They have pride running through their bones. Her Chimera aspect magnifies the other 3...
.
I take a step back and toss Pluto to Ruin. She catches it almost on reflex.
.
Slate: My Raiju side is the lightning version of a Hellhound and Amazoness mixed. I feel compelled to show Marina who the Alpha among us is. My Death Knight side isnt helping either... Come Marina. Fight me. I challenge you for the position of Alpha. I bring no weapons or armor. Hades, Please take my Dark King Arms from me.
.
Hades makes a pulling motion towards me and my 4 DKA start to revolve around him weakly.
.
Hades: They dont like this.
.
Marina walks to Kareena and removes 2 bracelets she had on. They turn into her claw gauntlets once she lets them go. She also hands her knife over.
.
I remove my shoes and stand infront of her in my shorts and a tee shirt. She rips out of her dress and stands barefoot in her underwear.
.
Slate: Uhh... here. Use an extra shirt of mi...
.
She launched herself at me and slammed her fist into my face. I flip backwards twice and skid to the floor. She picked up the shirt I dropped and put it on.
.
Marina: Dont look down on me. I dont need your handouts, Ill take what I want.
.
Im on the floor... on my back looking at the roof. I am angry. Not at her but at myself.
.
Slate: Dont stop this fight everyone. This will get much worse before it gets better.
.
I get up and my eyes turn black. My tail turns scaly silver and blue lightning starts to arc around me.
.
Kareena's horn comes out from the right side of her head and a tail with a blade on the end snakes out from under her shirt.
.
Slate: Well... thats new.
.
Her hair catches on fire. The fire is Scarlet red with black edges.
.
We charge eachother and start an all out brawl. I am using my Pugilist form to try to fight her but she is too fast for me to think then hit her. After trading about 40 blows, she swings a heavy right haymaker. I dodge but she used the momentum to do a backflip and kicked at me. She missed her kick but landed in a one handed hand stand and jumped at me again. I caught her foot, slammed her to the ground, and kicked her a cross the room as I ripped my shirt off of her.
.
Slate: I will be taking this back.
.
I lit the rags with my lightning and tossed them to her.
.
Slate: Now you can have it.
.
She got up onto all fours and gave me a feral grin as she started panting.
.
Marina: Better, your not looking down at me anymore but you havent won.
.
Her nails grew and caught fire. Her eyes became more vertically slit before she charged at me.
.
I also got on all fours and increased my lightning. From my back, a dark blue bone wing shot out from my right side. It had black lightning running between the bones.
.
I blacked out after that...
.

.
Noctis POV
.
What the hell am I seeing. Marina looks like a burning meteor with fangs while the kid looks like a one winged monster. The two of them continue to clash in unnatural ways. Slate uses his tail and wing like spring boards to move in unexpected ways while Marina uses her tail and claws to try to shred him appart.
.
Noctis: Its almost like when he went out of control after gaining his classes...
.
Lunafreya: His wing was silver before and he had a horn I believe...
.
Hades: Those changes are due to my lineage he gained. I am a rare breed of Death Knight. I can make bones out of my mana and absorbe skills from the bones of monsters I killed. I did not know he would gain my Sub Species after getting the bones from my left arm.
.
The 2 kids continue to fight till Slate pins Marina to the floor. His hands are interlocked with hers, his legs are pinning her thighs down and his tail is wrapped around hers.
.
Slate: Do you yield?
.
Marina screeched before she blew fire from her mouth. Almost faster then my eyes could see, Slate used his wing to block the improvised flamethrower. She tried to break out from the pin but Slate wasnt having any of it. Once Marina stopped spitting fire, Slate used his wing to pin her right arm down, grabbed her horn with his right hand and placed his mouth on her neck. She instantly stopped moving.
.
Slate: I will not ask again. Do. You. YIELD?!
.
A full minute passed before her answer.
.
Marina: Yes. Finally Yes. I yield to you and you alone.
.
The next second... Slate collapsed on top of her asleep.
.
Hades: He was running on instinct from the time he sprouted his wing. So was she till he brought his fangs to her neck.
.
Lunafreya: Lets make sure they are ok then let them rest.
.
After being sure they had no major injuries, the girls all went to bed with the kid in the middle. Ill let it go this time. Lucky little shit...
