"Watch closely" he raises a finger
His nail slowly grows larger till it was black and super pointy like a bear's claw
He crouched down beside the puppy dog
"P-papas not going to be very happy" I whisper as I crouch down beside him, curious to see what he'd do
"It's fine, you want to see what's inside it don't you? C'mon, you know he made it all for you so don't be shy to have a little fun" he slowly digs his nail into the doggies side, right where it's ribs connect to his spinal cord
"B-but this is a very bad thing you're doing isn't it, mister?" I ask
"Nonsense, the thing is already dead" he begins citing it open
I watch intently as the satisfying sound of the ribs snapping and the sweet aroma of the blood filled my nose
…

I slowly open my eyes
"Gosh Aphrodite, that perv" I hear a squeaky voice
"Eww" she says "it's the size of my forearm, bleh"
I blink a few times as my eyes adjusted to the light
"Man why'd Ignia make me change his clothes" she whines "gosh this is sooo nastyyy"
I slowly sit up
I felt every bone in my body crack
"Oh… hey" I smile widely at the girl at my feet
She blushes "h-hey" she says
I tilt my head side to side making sure to crack everything I felt needed cracking
"Where's Ignia?" I ask, looking around the big room I was in
"Oh… he's in the other room, with mom.. I think" she says
"Oh okay" I yawn "Man, I'm tired" I lay back
"You just woke up !!" She shouts
"Hehe" I giggle "say" I sit back up getting awfully close to her face
"Wh-what ?" she blushes
"You wanna play a game ?" I ask remembering the game I played with Zuri
… she thinks
"S-Sure" she says nervously
I was about to explain the rules when the door swung open "c'mon Rhea, Hisoka's waiting" I hear a boy at the door
"Gah?! He's upp ?!" The boy jumps back
"Whoa cool," he giggles as he ran to us "I'm Coeus" he offers to shake my hand
"I-I'm Kara" I say
"I know you are" he giggles "this is Rhea" he throws an arm around the girl that woke me up "she's my little sister, she just turned four" he whispers
"Cool really ?" I ask
"Yep and I'm eight now" he says proudly
"Awesome" I giggle
"So how old are you ?" He asks
"I'm…" I think
"Ignia said he's six now" Rhea says
"Whoa is that bigger than eight ?" I ask
"Gosh, you're really dumb, aren't you?" Coeus pokes my forehead
"C'mon, I thought you said Hisokas waiting for us" Rhea jumps off the bed
"Oh yeah" Coeus giggles "c'mon Kara" he says
"Alright" I giggle, following behind the two
"Whoa…" I look around
Their house was so super duper humongous I've never seen anything like it
"Awesome, don't ya think?" Coeus giggles
"I still think it's too big if you ask me" Rhea says behind me
"It's because your short" Coeus tells Rhea
"Shut up!" Rhea squeaks
"Hehe, well I think it's awesome" I giggle excitedly imagining how fun it'd be to play inside here
We walk down the stairs where I saw Igneel talking to a yellow haired maid lady
"C'mon why not Laylaaaa" he begs the maid who I'm assuming is Layla
"Cause I don't feel like getting pregnant again" Layla crosses her arms "plus we already had Kari I think that's quite enough"
"Weird I thought Hisoka was here" Coeus says, jumping onto the counter
"Excuse me I'd like to make an announcement" he says trying to get everyone's attention
He frowns seeing his idea didn't work
"Ahem*" he clears his throat "WHERE THE FUCK IS HISOKAHHH?!!" He shouts
"Excuse me young man, watch your tongue!!" Layla puts her foot down
"Oh…" she looks at me before nudging at Igneel
"What ?" He rolls "pfft*" he spits his drink "gramps?!" He gasps before Layla punches Tthe back of his head "Agh?! I-I mean K-Kara, You're up?!"
"Yeah" I giggle
"Where's dad?" He asks Layla
"I don't know with your mother I think" she says
"C'mon kid" he grabs my wrist
"Gahh?! What is it?!" I ask as he dragged me up the stairs
Coeus and Rhea wave goodbye and I giggle waving back as Igneel took me away
"Whuaa?!" Igneel trips on the last step
I giggle running over him to where I could smell Ignias scent
"Ouch" Igneel rubs his head after I stepped on it
I was about to open the door when I heard Ignia talking to someone
I peak inside
"Y-you know you really don't have to go, ma" I hear him
"Just like we gave your father a chance to redeem himself I believe Aether deserves the same thing" a lady says
…
Isis ?
The name pops up in my head
"But our universe is so vast. Not only that, he could have been reincarnated in any of the 17 other universes" he argues
"Not to worry she will have my assistance lord Ignia" I hear a third voice
"you sure that's okay with you Grand Minister ?" Isis asks
"Of course since Ignia here is now the most powerful being in existence, as of yet. it's the least I can do after you accepted the title of Omni King" the Grand Minister says "plus it's been a while since I've seen father, so I'd love to see him again" he adds
"Yeah" Ignia sighs "but if you don't mind I'd like to stay on my little planet" he says
"Of course, you are to do as you please only I must ask that you accompany me to present you to the Gods of destruction of the rest of the universes" the Grand Minister says
"Yeah-yeah, I know" Ignia sighs
"Please respect my decision, Ignia" Isis says in a shaky voice
"But ma.." Ignia says under his voice
"It's alright I'll go with her" a lady says pulling her hair into a ponytail
"Tora?" I whisper somehow knowing the lady's name
"What is it, kid ?" Igneel groans peaking in above me
"Are you sure about this ?" Isis asks
"Sure I wouldn't wanna let you do this alone" Tora says
"You have Hisoka to worry about now, Tora. You can't simply ignore that fact" Isis says
"I know and you have Coeus and Rhea, ma" Tora rolls her eyes
"But it's I that must do this, not you or your brothers. It's my duty as Aethers sibling" she stands up confronting Tora
"Yeah, I know you two were literally made for eachother blah-blah-blah" Tora says before she gives Isis a serious look "but as your daughter I'd like to be beside you, every step of the way" she holds Isis's hands
…
"Tora" Isis sighs
"Just give it up ma you know you won't change my mind" Tora smiles
"Not to worry it is fine if she comes along" the Grand Minister says
I felt a wet little nose sniffing at my face
I slowly turn around to see Beast
"Beasty?!" I throw my arms around the pup before he busts the door open
"Ouch?!" I fall on the floor as he ran to play with Ignia
I look up finally getting a good look at Isis
Gosh she was so pretty
She looked like an angel
"K-Kara?!" Ignia stands up
"Ignia!!" I run over to my bestest friend
He hugs me for a long second before sitting back beside the pretty lady
"Who is this, Ignia?" I ask
"This is my mother" he says "Isis" he adds
Whoa, how'd I know?
"Wow you're awfully pretty Mrs." I blush
"Oh…" she blushes "thank you" she smiles
"Hey handsome" Tora crouches down beside me
"Hi" I smile "you're also pretty Mis."
"Aww you're such a hunk, c'mere" she pulls me into her arms squishing me in between her chests
"Hehe, stop itt" I giggle as she rubs my head
"You can go ahead and call me auntie Tora, okay little guy?" she says
"okay, hehe" I giggle as she strangled me "if she's your mommy, whose who's your papa?" I ask after Tora finally let me go
"He's… well he's not here anymore" Ignia says
"Oh sorry" I apologize for asking
"It's alright kid" Ignia smiles
"So how long have you been awake, little one?" the Grand Minister guy asks
"Me…" I think "we'll not long" I say
"Yeah we weren't aware he had woken up either" Ignia says
"Hello, mister" I offer to shake his hand
"It's a pleasure, young Kara" he says
"Kara !!" I hear Coeus and Rhea looking for me
"Igneel, where's Kara?" Coeus asks Igneel who was still peaking at the door
"Whua?! h-he's in there" Igneel says getting caught off guard
"Kara !!" Coeus waves "c'mon"
I look back at Ignia
He gives me a little smile
"Alright" I giggle "byee!" I wave at Ignia and the rest as I ran off with Coeus and Rhea
"So have you seen Hisoka ?" Rhea asks
"Who's that ?" I ask
"Hmm" Rhea thinks "your right I forgot you haven't met him" she says
"Of course he hasn't, it's the first time he's met us, doofus" Coeus says
"Hey, that's not nice" Rhea frowns
Coeus smiles widely
"C'mon, I'm sure he's outside" Coeus says before he swings the doors open
We walk around for a bit before we stopped at a martial arts ring
"Hisoka, there you are" Coeus says as he hopped into the ring with Hisoka and some other white haired boy about our age, though he looked a lot like Isis and the Grand Minister
"G-get off" Hisoka huffs
"Just give it up you know you can't beat me" the boy says calmly
"Shut up, Whis!" Hisoka growls before launching at the boy
"I already told you how pointless this is" Whis sighs
"They've been going at it for quite a while" a girl says behind us
"Oh hey, Kusu" Rhea smiles
"Wait, so that's Hisoka ?" I ask Rhea pointing at the red headed boy
"Mhmm" Rhea nods "he's seven years old" she says as we watch him try to land a punch on that Whis guy
"Say Rhea, have you seen Vados ?" Kusu asks
"She was playing with Kari last time I saw her" Rhea says
"Well I guess I'm not surprised, it's a lot like her to just wander off with a child" Kusu sighs
"Hellooo all!" we hear a girl
"Ah Vados, we were just talking about you" Kusu smiles
"All good things, I presume" Vados says as she puts a baby girl down
"Whoa, is that Igneels kid ?" I ask
"No this is Mia she's Ignias daughter, isn't that right mamas?" Rhea picks her up
"So where'd you leave Kari ?" Kusu asks
"Oh Igneel wanted his daughter back so he traded Mia here for her" Vados says happily
"Nghk*" Kusu steps back nervously "you traded the Omni King's daughter like she's some toy?!" Kusu growls
"Hehe, I couldn't help myself" Vados giggles nervously
"Whatever" Kusu sighs in disbelief
"Hey, so you're Kara right ?" Kusu asks
"Y-yeah" I nod "I'm Akuma Amaterasu Kara" I offer to shake her hand
"It's a pleasure Mr. Kara I'm Kusu this is Vados and that right there fighting Hisoka is Whis" she says
"Nice to meet you Ms." I shake her hand
"So you're the real Kara then huh ?" Vados asks
I nod
"Wow this is so cool, I've heard many stories about you" she says excitedly
"R-really ?" I ask nervously as she got awfully close
"Is it true you possess the eternal flame ?" She asks "you know, people around the universe call it the eternal black flame of Amaterasu" she says "isn't that awesome ?!!" She asks
"Vados !!" Kusu shouts "I think you've said quite enough, sister!" she puts her foot down
"Oopp" Vados covers her mouth "s-sorry" she apologizes "I got carried away"
…
What is she talking about?
It's weird everything sounds familiar but where have I heard it from?
"So who's the strongest of you three ?" I ask trying to change the subject
"Hmm ?" I get Kusus attention who was too busy scolding Vados "well I'm the eldest but Vados and Whis are evenly matched"
"Of course father is on a completely different level" Vados adds
"Wow, that's awesome, hehe" I giggle excitedly watching Hisoka try to land a punch on Whis
"Damn itt" Hisoka curses under his breath
"Oh ho ho" Whis laughs. "You think an awful lot, Hisoka. You'll never land a punch like that" he says
"I said, shut up!" Hisoka snares
"Hey, let me try" I jump onto the platform
"Who th-the hell are you" Hisoka huffs
"I'm Kara, now it's my turn" I tell Hisoka before pointing at Whis "now fight me" I smile widely
"My-my, is this the Kara I've heard so much about?" Whis asks
"No, I'm still fighting him" Hisoka says out of breath
"Now-now Hisoka, I'm sure you might learn a thing or two from Kara here" Whis says
"What ?!" Hisoka growls "this meat head can't teach me a thing !!" Hisoka clenches his fists
"Just c'mon let's watch" Coeus throws his arm around Hisoka
Hisoka smacks his lips "whatever" he jumps off the edge of the ring
"Alright" I giggle excitedly before turning to Whis
"Come at me whenever you see fit" he says not even bothering to get into a stance
