"Hm-Hmph! This queen of light can make better fireworks, but curing that bully's fever comes first! Death to shameless bloodline aspects!"
Ayla shamelessly proclaimed, before then leading the way into the young prince's garden. Thankfully Aurea had asked for the guards to be with her since she knew what he was up to and because she wanted to play with them? They were members of their legion after all.
Unfortunately aside from the young prince, Aurea, and Aldra, no one else were allowed to command them, the reason being simple!
That was the young prince's private legion unaffiliated and off the books! Of course they'd be on the books now, but at most a single page only kings, queens, and emperors could see.
All the while Ayla prepared her ingredients for her concoction and Noel went over some royal lessons to pass the time for both of them, Aurea having felt left out remembered something.. what was that forgotten temple all about?!
And why is that forest forbidden and why hadn't anyone cut it down and made it real estate property yet?! She needed answers! Causing her to then curiously wander the banquet and formulating a plan for such antics!
Unfortunately she hadn't paid attention to where she wondered before then getting hugged by Annie, since apparently she had just ignored everyone while stuck in thought?
She was the original Aurea after all! Causing Annie to playfully pout since Aurea had quite literally walked past everyone including her mommies resulting in mommy Annie checking up on her baby princess! Of course Molly quickly followed, having felt something was strange.
Causing Aurea to then helplessly smile having realized what had happened.
"Sorry, now that I'm more than just Aurel, I've been stuck in my thoughts forever! For all intents and purposes I want to do more, I or to be more specifically Aurel is still a baby while I'm not? We have the same birthdays too, but I'm unsure if that even matters! I'm supposed to be fifteen now, but I'm lost.."
"It's as if I'm having an identity crisis but I know we're the same, and I know we're different! Our minds are connected as if one but still separated because of Mommy Avery's stunt! It's frustrating! None of my training or anything I had learned from Lady Frostma or Mother Klarine prepared me for this"
"So now I want to, no I need to go anywhere else! I need air!"
Aurea frustratingly explained, surprising both Annie and Molly and causing Annie having realized those talks with the others about Aurea were indeed valid! If anything else they had at the very least expected this to happen sooner or later.
Aurea's situation was simply so unique! Of course she was still family and everything else had been sorted out, however as for her mental health.. not so much! Neither the young prince or Aurea had ever spoken about it resulting in them playing the waiting game.
Causing Annie to then quickly send a wave of mental messages, unfortunately while she was distracted the plan had commenced! Aurea had successfully used her issues as a distraction! Of course Molly was in on it?
Causing Aurea to then playfully smile before then switching to that of what the young prince's form and attire from the start of the original assassin's training session with Annie in all but an instant.
Aurea now wore a sleek black seductive skin-tight hunting attire covered in her insignias, and boots which in truth was simply assassin's attire that looked similar to that of royal hunting attire.
Complimenting her now fiery platinum blonde hair, serpent slitted eyes, and snow white skin giving her an overwhelmingly cute yet dangerous charm.
And Surprising Annie causing Molly having prepared her previous attire and such via her space ring to then slightly nod with an almost proud expression while Aurea stuck her tongue at Annie with a teleportation crystal in her hand causing Annie to then surprisingly giggle her heart out.
This was simply precious! Unfortunately as she giggled the teleportation crystal activated and both Molly and Aurea disappeared to The Golden Bank of Aurora! All the while back with Annie it seemed she had to reveal the news, surprising everyone while Ayrenn, having already known, acted the opposite.
Causing Aldra to worriedly sighed and Bradley helplessly smiled causing Kethyllia to then gently shake her head.
"I'd imagine sweet Aurea wasn't able to express what she truly wished or speak of such things, if true then I'd also imagine that poor sweet Aurea and Laurel maybe in a similar predicament"
Kethryllia gently observed, causing Aldra to then gently nod and Selphie having just returned from getting some juice to adorably pout having heard what had happened.
"Those little bullies-"
Selphie adorably pouted, before then ultimately being cut off causing Melly to laugh her heart out having drunk quite a bit with Lily.
"Annie I can't believe you didn't try to stop those adventurous cuties! Don't worry! I'll make sure they don't get in trouble!"
Melly tipsily reassured before then hugging Aldra and flicking Bradley's forehead, and after flicking Selphie's forehead for the fun of it and to give her something to pout about she had ultimately escaped using a handy spacial gate!
Causing Annie to laugh her heart out while Selphie pouted before then flicking her spacial gate to ensure she experience the ride of a lifetime before then adorably nodding.
"That's what you get bully!"
Selphie playfully pouted causing Alfinia to giggle and Annie to laugh even more.
All the while back with Aurea her plan had continued! Of course the crucial part of her plan was Aurora who happily agreed since Celes was having a session with her lesser void lord while Octavia's stayed with Inari.
Resulting in Aurora having not felt 'frustrated' to ultimately jump at the opportunity to go on an adventure with Aurea and Molly! Resulting in all three now continuing they're plans in their reserved auction room, at least until Melly dropped from the sealing since apparently Selphie's flick did more than simply shake it.
Causing Melly to then find the nearest trash can and vomit her heart out.
"Th-That Selphie is a cruel Goddess! Seriously, what was that?! Oh gods my head! Hey Aurela why did you run away like that? I'm not gonna return you home or anything but I'm inviting myself on this adventure of yours!"
Melly tipsily grunted, causing Aurea to playfully nod.
"Welcome Mommy Melly-"
Aurea playfully welcomed, before then ultimately being cut off causing Melly after taking a seat to grab an ice pack.
"Again, what part of me looks like a mommy?!"
Melly playfully countered, causing Aurea to then playfully smile, unfortunately she couldn't reply the way she wanted to meaning Melly will never know! All the while resulting in both Aurea and Aurora explaining what they could surprising Melly and quickly sobering her up after realizing what they were talking about.
"You shouldn't have mentioned that temple, firstly Aurela, that temple shouldn't be here, secondly if you go in alone you'd get yourself killed! That Temple isn't simple, it was used by The Queen of Senex to invade The Endless Abyss meaning outside of gods and the only other entrance, this one is still a mystery"
"From what I know she could send her forces to any sealed or 'unsealed' level of The Endless Abyss, and even to ones not currently known that could contain forgotten races. From what the Aurela I saw in my dreams, it was even hidden from even the gods. So that alone makes it incredibly dangerous"
"Be it cultists, remnants from The Wars of Senex, prisoners, experiments, or anything else for that matter. While the biggest secret being the 'real' Capital of Senex was underground and hidden underneath this temple, while if you didn't already know there's a reason why The Forbidden Forest earned that name"
Melly helplessly warned, having for all intents and purposes believed that place wouldn't exist here, rather it was unique in the dream Aurela's Realm, surprising everyone and causing Aurora to then curiously frown not knowing much about it.
Causing Aurea to then playfully contemplate since that wasn't in the plans, before then ultimately activating Vania's Insignia since unlike 'others' she preferred to simply ask.
Resulting in the crystal screen appearing after several minutes of waiting, revealing that of Vania in bed in her Elven form before then ultimately yawning.
"What is it, little sister, or rather other little sister? It's indeed quite late while from what I hear your birthday is still very much in full swing. Did you truly miss me or do you wish for a shoulder to cry on? I'll forever be here for my precious little sister, mortal avatar or not"
Vania adorably reassured, causing Aurea having actually liked Ravania, not only because she ate essences while Aurea could literally eat people in her serpent form, but because Vania was trying to be a questionably 'better' person! At least she was 'trying' you know?
Causing Aurea to then playfully nod before then ultimately explaining her situation since she did 'offer' resulting in Aurea shamelessly taking that offer for all it's worth, before then ultimately squeezing in the temple bit causing Vania having listened to it all as if anything else to adorably shake her head.
"You need only remain patient and allow yourself to heal and understand what has happened to you, 'Lady' Avery is truly troublesome. Little sister, if you believe something belongs to Lady Avery, even if it's snacks or a merely ingredients, I'd highly suggest caution"
"And if you truly wish, we can speak more of it in private. As for your plans little sister, that temple doesn't belong to me. If you hadn't already known I had already moved all of my hidden assets including a similar temple into that of New Senex, so please remain cautious"
"Be it temporal, godly, or merely coincidence related instances, little sister mustn't let her guard down. If given time to speculate I'd imagine among all things, this would no doubt become a temporal anomaly. However you needn't worry, from what little sister had mentioned it's now completely within our realm and outside of what it may or may not contain, it could be perfectly safe"
Vania adorably reassured, having in truth already taken her previous temple and transferred it beforehand with the assistance of a certain Blight Goddess since apparently she still loves gold? However despite this Vania was now curious as to why another one had appeared?
Despite appearances she knew of temporal anomalies and even consumed the essence of plenty who visited, of course she kept them alive and replaced it since she didn't wish to deal with temporal issues, however that wasn't all, he knowledge was truly a mystery.
Causing Aurea having realized that was the case to helplessly nod and after several more minutes of questions she had enough. Resulting in Vania falling back asleep and Aurea now having a even more shameless plan.
"Mommy-No big sister Melly! Can you infuse this memory crystal with the appearance and attire of Aurela, and not Aurel but Aurela, if anything else I want to pretend to be her since chances are she's related in some way, and oh some memories as well! I need to know how she talks and acts too!"
"Aurora, can you stop time for a bit too? I need to be prepared after all! I may even keep the look! That's what she gets for not cleaning up her mess! What do you think Molly?"
Aurea shamelessly asked, causing Aurora to then do just that while Melly helplessly filled the memory crystals, all the while for Molly she was simply along for the ride. And soon enough after diving into the memory crystals and switching to her elf form.
She made her preparations and thanks to Melly who lived that life and met Aurela, and Aurora who conjuried it all up! Resulting in after changing and having Melly put on her make up, Aurea looking as if a Holy Princess of Selphie.
Aurea now wore a holy white sparkling dress and boots comparable to that of a fusion of that of a Holy Princess and that of a Princess of The Elves covered in shining silver accents that sparkled as if rainbow obsidian.
Alongside her holy silver tiara, hair ornament showcasing her ponytail, and necklace of Selphine. Complimenting her porcelain white skin, pristine white hair, eyes, and overwhelmly cute yet gentle features, giving her a surprisingly gorgeous yet holy charm.
Causing Aurea to then gently nod before then looking into the mirror.
