Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: New Preparations

As the Lord of Beasts gets dressed for the funeral of his own daughter he and his wife Vu Rachel mourn the lost of Destiny the whole Red Palace is silent and they await Fafir's orders. The Beast God walks out of his massive bedroom well groomed and dressed he snaps his fingers and his servants prepare the way for him. All his guards and soldiers await the couple. Once Fafir enters the large sanctuary they bow in respect and fear. Fafir was not in the mood he was silent as the funeral began. He overlooked his daughter she looked like she was simply sleeping. As a father he balled his fists and held back an massive roar. All this did was shake the very sanctuary floor.

The ceiling started to shake violently. Vu Rachel and the priest that was hired did their best to calm him down. It worked fortunately he sat down and calm himself. After the funeral finished the guards,soliders and even the servants were given the day off. Strange as it may be,Fafir did something rather unorthodox. He himself as soon as he got to the burial site lifted the entire casket by himself. It was effortless for him. He placed the casket in the hole and buried his daughter with the utmost care,gentleness and respect. After this those who also attended the burial such as the generals,sentinels and Vu Rachel looked in awe. The Evil God rose from the very hole not so much as a speck of dirt was on him. He rose from the hole Destiny was buried in. Fafir's eyes glowed a eerie orange. His aura an blindingly bright red and now he had a rather demented smile on his face. He slowly turn and that smile was returned to a usual frown.

"This is NOT the end my generals and sentinels. For this is what may have had to happened. No matter. Truly as a father I will mourn my daughter's death, but we cannot allow Luna to get away with this for now we don't fight just for us and myself. WE NOW FIGHT FOR DESTINY!!!" The Evil God yelled. He raised an fist and with that fist what came after was a mighty roar. It was so loud all the animals nearby including the wolves came to Fafir's side. They cowered in fear of him but did not leave. The Beast God and his Neotic companions followed him back to the palace. Destiny was buried and her tombstone was planted firmly into the ground. Once Fafir returned his new wolves were placed in different units. His Fafkin soliders were preparing cannons, mortars,guns, swords,axes and battle axes. They were all angry and ready to take down their enemies. The Beast God sat on his throne and interlace his thick fingers and plotted the best way to finally put an end to his nemesis. Soon Fafir would be free of Luna and her family's madness.

Meanwhile Luna and company were all still rebuilding the palace. Skyra and Zuma as Luna's parents were doing their best to console and comfort their daughter. She was upset at the whole thing with Destiny being revealed on the massive Umiscreen as her grandmother Umi called it. Luna was also very scared. The look Fafir gave her was one she couldn't understand granted she unofficially adopted Gala as her own child. That was the looked of a vengeful parent. She thought until she became an true parent she'd never understand Fafir's newfound pain and lamenting hatred towards her. "Luna? Hello did you hear anything I said?" Skyra asked interupputing Luna in her thoughts. The girl was upset still but she looked up at her mother and father. " I..I..I didn't want Destiny to die. If you could have seen the look on Fafir's face. I..It was haunting. I never seen him so hurt and angry. It was a accident. In fact..I..I'm sure he killed DESTINY AND THEN BLAMED ME FOR IT!!" Luna said shedding tears. She missed her white haired friend dearly and blamed herself for what had happened.

"Its all my fault..I know..I..I did murder Magnolia in the past b..but this wasn't meant to be." She said crying. Zuma sat beside his small daughter and placed an hand on her shoulder he lean over and kissed her head. "My daughter. Though you have grown very strong and powerful realize it is a strength to cry not a weakness. Especially for an friend. Now as for Destiny's death. Only I can say for sure. After all. I am Lord of Death and the dearly departed souls that enter Hexus usually state how they died." Zuma says. This brings a small smile to Luna's face she hugs her much larger father and kisses her mother. "I..if we can get Destiny's input from you t..then I don't have to feel like a..an criminal..uh no offense parents. Especially you Momma.

The past is the past hehe." Luna nervously giggled. Zuma messes with his daughter's hair and hugs her tight. Luna gets up in her spirit and does a back flip and floats. She has a cute little smile on her face. The rest of Luna's friends finished building the numerous bedrooms,bathrooms and miscellaneous rooms. Silvia hugs Luna from behind and dusts the dry blood and dirt off Luna's clothes. The Umiscreen is turned off by Umi herself who grabs Luna by the ear. "Ooowwww hey..G..grandma Umi what's the big idea!! Owwww!!" The girl whined. Umi crossed her arms and looked very disspointed.

"Are you OUT OF YOUR MIND!!? You should be happy you had enough power to mow down Fafir's forces as is.What if YOU DIED THIS DAY?! Hmm? Skyra come on talk to your daughter. She could have not made it. Am I the only one caring for my granddaughter? Ya know what your reckless just like...just like..Skyra! Oh boy. The apple didn't fall far from the tree did it?" Umi says angrily.

This envokes an menacing black and purple aura from Skyra her goddess form take place and the Hidden Realm shook. Skyra's skin became pink her hair white as snow and her eyes yellow with small clocks formed in them. Skyra rushed to Umi who also transform. Umi was now all black. Her eyes glowed white and the two argued. Luna looked amazed that her grandmother and mother finally revealed their own godly forms. "What would you know about controlling your own child?!! she literally just bummed rushed Fafir. Not only that but you REWARD her for it? Pretty irresponsible Skyra." Umi said.

Skyra retorted. "SHE'S MY DAUGHTER AND MY RESPONSIBILITY!! So how about you stop worrying so much I have faith Luna will see NEA'S prophecy through. Besides she's grown so much in comparison to the blind shy girl she once was." Skyra said. "Okay guys. Grandma Umi, Mother I appreciate you both thinking of me but I promise we'll all get this taken care of. After all. Heh I am Aether and as Aether I say we have to come up with a plan. One that will send Fafir reeling." Luna says still in her Blue Aether state trying to break up the two bickering deities.

"One small problem um..ahem we need you to get back into your normal state and some clean clothes. You smell of sweat and..d..did some person piss on you?! Ugghh that's so gross. Or worst dud you piss yourself?!! Silvia said. Luna blushed and embarrassingly giggled she dismissed any assumption towards herself and said it was the minon that was in the elevator she punched. The two girls head inside the palace and shower. Skyra and Umi of course are at each other's throats still and spar outside. Zuma easily stops them both and subdue them temporarily. They de-transform and are brought inside. "Thank you so much Zuma. I know your mom and Skyra are one in the same I'm just glad you got my sister's personality hehe. Ain't that right big red?" Jaxl said to an Elena who was cooking dinner with Skyra's mother and older sister. "I told you Jaxl,Skyra is influenced by you. Especially that whole lewd side. Just be happy she's maturing over time. Now help me finish dinner." Elena said towering over everyone that was in the massive palace.

"Pfft whatever ol' Miss Busty and tall. Your responsibile for Luna too hehe. I mean she's just a spawn of Skyra and Zuma's personalities mixed with yours. How about we help Luna with those plans she was talking about?" Jaxl says. Elena's rejects the idea and decides it's best to leave her granddaughter be. She finished dinner and grabs Jaxl's tail hoisting her into the chair with ease as for everyone else she calls them down to eat. The rest of the family and Luna's friends consider the possible retaliation from Fafir. Then Umi comes up with an idea. "What if..hear me out everyone and..Skyra. I take the entire Hidden Realm and place it into the farthest reaches of outer space!" Umi said.

All was silent at the mere mentioned of the idea. Skyra face palmed and was about to say something until her mother Yvonne spoke up. "Skyra Lousie Senla Hrotha!! That is ENOUGH!! Goddess or Dullahan you will cease this constant bickering. We will trust Umi. So enough is enough. Am I making myself clear?" Yvonne says.

Skyra says nothing about the situation but folds her arms,pulls up her knees towards her face and puffs up her cheeks. Her sister Haze fails to hold in her laugh. One look from their father makes Haze get her act straight. He then speaks. "Your mother is right my daughter. I haven't heard Yvonne correct you like that in years but yes Skyra. Try to give Umi an chance. Is that not what I taught you?" Skyra's father asked. She folds her arms and puffs her cheeks some more. Yvonne and everyone else likes Umi's idea. Luna happened to see her own mom acting as a child she laughs and giggles hysterically.

"Wow Momma. Seems Granny Hrotha still has authority over you hehe." Luna says teasingly. "Lunaaa don't tease your mother I swear you and Skyra remind me so much of my dad. Nea rest his soul but he was so foolhardy and sure of himself. Then again Luna your kind and sweet and so is my Skyra Bearrrr awww." Yvonne said hugging Skyra trying to cheer her up.

"Family's reuniting or reigniting is sweet and all,but family we must take what Luna said into account. We no doubt are now in a war,time to wake up and smell the fire of Hexus. They and whom I mean by THEY which is Fafir and his army are growing. Hmm I feel as if though those fools are delusional and will believe everything Fafir says. So we don't have much time before he chooses to attack all who stand in his way for much lesser crimes." Zuma says.

Umi stands outside and let's it be known the realm they are all in will be teleported to the vast reaches of space in one hour or less. "If you have anything you want to do that time is over from here on out as my wonderful son Zuma has said. Fafir will no doubt attack. He'll also figure a way out to survive in space. We just need to be three steps ahead of the Evil God." Umi says.

Without any warning an massive rumbling is heard all panic thankfully is null and void. Luna looks outside the window and before they know it,space is their new home. Skyra feels at home and waves to the stars the flying realm passes by. She sees Azou and Gala gazing at the sun. She sheilds their eyes and tells them space can be truly dangerous if their not careful.

Skyra sees Luna however a little nervous as they are passing a black hole as big as the sun. "Its fine sweety let Momma take care of this. That black hole is one of the smaller ones. It's name is Resi-014. I named it when I first became Goddess of Space and Time. Ahem. Watch this." Skyra says while teleporting outside she shrinks the black hole down in size. And teleports back into the palace. The realm itself zips to an black void. Empty of stars. Everyone looks in awe while Skyra starts creating new stars to hide her family and her daughter's friends.

"Good thinking Momma. Hehe. Well space is scary but it's fun when you have the ruler of it with you huh?" Luna says. After that Skyra takes Luna by the hand and slowly starts to train her youngest daughter how to get use to space. At first Luna is terrified and mortified she still is uneasy around it but Skyra starts to teach her how to breath in space.

"Shhh..relax my daughter. Hehe I was hoping one day we get this chance. Just relax. I want you to learn how to move and breath in space. It'll take time but I know you can do it,but first. Your clothes hmm..How about we get you into something more form fitting." Skyra says slapping Luna on the back with exponentially more strength than usual.
