So after a while Ourana was gracious enough to allow us to stay at her camping grounds, thought their wasn't really much to enjoy here,it was home nonetheless. I sat next to the crimson haired cutie and wanted to catch up with her. A part of me wondered if she hated me for defeating her father 19 years ago? Would she have remembered something like that even? Well..one way to find out and that is to ask.
I sat on a tree stump next to her as she was whittling some wood into a strange shape. Could it be a new instrument? I dunno. She looked at me and smiled. "So after all these years huh?" She said with her soft voice as they blessed my ears. "I..I guess..uh..look..I know you may or may not hate me for what I did do your pops,but..this is awkward..but I just want your to know..I..I.." Before I could finish my sentence Ourana wrapped her muscly arms around me and kissed my cheek. "It's okay. You did what you had to do.
I was only five years old at the time and it took me awhile to understand exactly everything that was going on. To be fair my mother..." Ourana paused as she looked at the strange wooden instrument in her hand. Tears slowly began to form.
"O..Ourana?" I said trying to comfort her. "Its okay sweety. You don't have to say anything else if you don't want to. I just figured I set the record straight." I thought I say to further alleviate the situation. Ourana wiped away her tears and chuckled softly. "Hehe..it's fine. It's just..you mentioned my mother Panna..what a woman she was..until..she was poisoned by my father's own men. To think..sh..she trusted them as her own soliders only to be deceived in the end. " Ourana finished. Tears streamed down her face.
I hugged her tight as she cried. "No girl should ever lose her mother or father,yet..you sadly were unfortunate enough to witness both. I'm sorry Ourana.I really am." I say to the crying girl. She looks up at me and smiles. "She died when I was seventeen at the time. It was when I started to notice physical changes in my body even. Puberty was a blessing and a curse yes,but I felt lost for a while. Those former soilders searched for me for days after Panna's death even." Ourana said. "Well what did they do with the body then?" I asked.
"Nothing. It was me who buried her into the ground. In fact it was were the new Red Palace was before Nea took it as a reward for herself. I still dislike that woman, yet I tolerate her for Destiny's sake. Her being her mother and all." Ourana paused as she tossed some meat that hung over the campfire to Vex. Assuming she was hungry.
Ourana stretch her toned and muscly frame and returned back to her seat. "Ultimately the guy who poisoned the Beast Queen as I called her since Daddy is the Beast God..let's just say..I happened to take good care of him and his cronies for good. I'm not proud of what I did sadly..there was no other way then to pay life..for..life. May Panna McFringe rest in peace. And may her enemies feel her daughter's wrath and judgement." The girl said as she balled up her fist. I wrapped my arm around her and chuckled. "You sound like your daddy. That's for sure. So..are we cool? You and I?" I thought I ask again. Just in case she didn't hear me.
"I already said you had to do what you had to do. But just answer a few questions I have..first lets talk somewhere more private..follow me." Ourana said. I agreed and instructed Azou to watch the girls and make sure they don't cause any trouble.
She nods and off I go. I. follow the short girl through near darkness. I can barely see what's in front of me even yet Ourana easily breezes through the many skinny baby trees and plants that are in our way. She gracefully cuts through the brush and tall grass as I almost trip over every strange branch or lonesome stick. Soon we arrive to a medium sized area. It seemed to be mostly flat with a small patch of grass. The rest was beige dirt. Ourana effortlessly lifted up two boulders the same size as her. She placed them down for us to sit. The girl jumped on the grey stone and patted the other as a invitation for me to sit and join her.
"Oh..uh..if you don't mind me asking Ourana,but..where are we exactly. It's so dark and there is barely any light. How can you see anything at all?" I wondered. Ourana ignored my question. She folded her legs and arms and started to meditate or that's what it seemed like.
Suddenly she opened her eyes after closing them. They faintly glowed gi in ng off a intimidating aura. "Silver eyes huh. Your dad's were grey. I see you really are like him in a few ways hehe. So..why are we here? What are your questions you have for me?" I asked her. Silence formed in between us. In fact for a uncomfortable amount of time. I checked my phone and wondered what was on her mind. I was just about to get up from my seat and leave until Ourana stopped me.
"Question number one: How many times have you bedded my father?" She asked catching me in my tracks. I thought no one knew. Who blabbed to her? How did word get out about..about my deception? I slowly turned around and sat on the boulder. "Uh..w..what makes you ask such a question Ourana?" I nervously asked.
"You may not know this about Fafir and his children. Unlike other deities..or perhaps not,but I can sense whenever someone is..for a lack of better words..intermingling with him. I more than Destiny since she has some disdain towards him still. It's no doubt she also sense your presence as well. Now the question still stands Luna. How long have you been bedding my father? Hmm? Oh and to make it even more confrontational. I mean as of recently whilst he remains in torment?" Ourana ask in a non-threatening but serious tone. I started sweating profusely and looked away from her. Embarrassed..I supposed I should have considered Fafir's baby girl could easily sniff me out.
"I'm waiting." She sanged. Beautifully even. I reluctantly lifted my head and faced the silver eyed girl and admitted to her claim. "I..I have had sex with him yes..but as of recent..umm..two or three times..eheh..eeeh." I blushed. Ourana said nothing. She just looked at me making me very uncomfortable.
"Question number two: How do you have access to the Darkest Pit and can freely roam while everyone else minus his torturers are not allowed?" Ourana asked curiously. "I..I guess cause I'm Aether and uh..Nea may have deemed it so..That or I saved the world heh.." I nervously chuckled. Ourana nodded her head and asked one more question.
This one caught me off guard. "So knowing what I know and confirming my own suspicions. Luna if you had to or the situation presented itself. Would you marry my father?" Ourana asked. I almost fell off boulder I was sitting on.
"W..what?! How on Neo would that even be accepted, let alone allowed. The Neotics would consider it a massive betrayal and Destiny would have my hide. Why are you even asking anyway?" I asked defensively. Ourana got up from her own boulder and swayed her hips. She smirked and quickly pranced herself over me.
"Because only you and YOU alone can survive him. Unlike my dear mother Panna. She tamed him yes,but you defeated him. I respect you and therefore give you my blessing to marry my father. Also..I've known about your little..visits for quite some time now. Plus I can smell him on you. It isn't hard actually." Ourana mentioned. Not only was I guilty of my backsliding from my marriage to Silvia but if Ourana wanted to..s..she could blackmail me. Danggit!! I knew if I wanted some alone time with Faffy..maybe I should have done what I did more stealthily.
"Off you go to my father Luna. He's waiting for you hehe oh and do take your time. Your secret is safe with the daughter of the Beast God. Only I know. I'll keep Destiny I'll informed should she asked,but hey..if she does find out you been uh..getting some on the side from our father...let's just say...awkward." Ourana sanged as she slap me on the butt. I yelped in surprise and suddenly teleported in front of Fafir.
"Well.. that's a interesting surprise. What do I owe Aether this time hmm?" He asked in a gentle voice. I dusted my self off and hugged his tall,muscular frame. "Look..Fafir..your daughter knows about us..Ourana that is. I think she's trying to get us to hook up." I tell him. The very mention of her name makes Fafir glad. "She must be 24 by now if I am correct. What a beautiful young lady she must be even. I yearn to hug her again. In fact I will will a home for me and her and Destiny. Something to bond over even." Fafir smile. He looked at me and picked me up like I was a small child. "Thank you for bringing about this news Luna. Although a bit alarming yes,but from a parental standpoint,Ourana is just like her old man." Fafir laughed.
"Oh..uh..yeah..she also knows about our...sexy time." I shakily mentioned. Fafir placed me back on the ground gently and kissed my lips. "So she does. The children of the Beast God are innately in tuned with certain aspects. Though not sex in itself but the feeling of it happening and the scent it leaves long after can only be recognized by them. It's a wonder Destiny hasn't said anything about it. Speaking of..the guards here have mentioned that Nea will be stepping down in fact. Destiny will take her place as Goddess of All. Such a preposterous and ludicrous title mind you." Fafir noted.
I sat next to him as he further explained. "Nea has been recently confronted by a Beyonder. Ecelon was his name in fact. That can mean only one thing. A old deity such as Nea must rest and give up their so called "immortality" and give it on over to their offspring or their worshipers. If neither it's just sent into the ether waiting for something or someone to grab it. Long story cut short, Nea as the original creator of our world and universe will fade until she goes to mysterious place called the Beyonders Realm. I've had numerous visions and dreams of this mystical place. Such a change I one day will also have accomplished".
"You must remember Luna. I've lived for billions of years and seen many things,yet the Beyonders themselves. They were very elusive and rare. Legend has it that Aether which is you by the way can contact them. Or if they choose. They'd contact you." Fafir finished.
"So what if I could convince Destiny to set you free Fafir?" I asked. He looked at me and I looked at him. That didn't last for long as Destiny herself lit up the whole room and placed her hands on her hips.
"No need Luna. Seeing as how my father has such a big mouth and ruins the surprise for everyone. I have decided that Fafir McFringe has faithfully served his time. However FATHER!!.If you ever have even the slightest inkling to do any evil again. I will not have mercy. Now as the new Goddess of All,I Destiny McFringe hereby permit Fafir as a free man. Also since Momma has gone with the Beyonder Ecleon,it's up to me to bestowed you your old powers." Destiny said looking more like Nea everyday. Her hair was practically unchanged. That and her height of four foot four also stayed the same. If anything she wore a white and black dress now with matching heels but that was it. Oh and black lipstick and white eyeliner. My father was informed of the changes and opened the room to the massive chamber we were in. He bowed to Destiny and reluctantly released Fafir from his prison.
As soon as he did that he kiss me on the head and flew back in the darkness. The door slammed shut and all was quiet. Fafir looked as the chains fell from him. Tears rolled down the man's face. He fell to his knees and made a very special promise that day.
"On this day and forevermore. A promise to you,myself,Ourana,Luna all those I hurt..though I will never be able to change the past, I swear I will never cause that much harm again. I wish now only to be forgiven and allowed a chance to start anew. Not just for me..but for my family." Fafir said as he looked Destiny in her green eyes. No words were even said except a heartwarming hug. Destiny squeezed her large father as tight as she could and let out a cry that needed to.have been let out a long time ago.
"Oh Papa!! Oh Papa...Papaaaaaa." She cried tears of joy. "I was angry with you and hated your guts, but..I don't care about that anymore..I'm so so sorry Papa..can you ever forgive meeeeee." Destiny cried some more.
Fafir held his short daughter tight and lifted her off her feet. He stood talk and kissed her on her head. "Yes..I too have seen the errors of my ways. I ask your forgiveness as well." Fafir asked trying to muster up more words. Yet there were clouded with tears. Destiny nodded her head and kissed her father on the cheeks. She playfully smiled and said in a cutsey voice. "Uh huh..all is forgiven." The two laughed and Fafir sat Destiny on his shoulders. I gave the two a hanky each. They blew their noses and thanked me.
"How sweet. I knew you missed your daddy Destiny hehe. But I am confused about one thing. Why did you forgive him?" I asked. Destiny played with Fafir's long gray hair and gently smiled. "Your father reasoned with me and my brother Psion had a heart to heart conversation about life without my mother Nea. We had to look at reality. Though I didn't wanna hear it and wanted to keep hating my father forever. I was too bull headed to accept that..so..when my mother told me she felt weak and a bit sleepier than usual. I had a choice to make. Either honor my mother's wish and forgive my father and heed my brother's wisdom..or continued being a fool? Ultimately I chose my answer." Destiny finish speaking.
"Wow it really does pay fo be in good company huh? Hehe. Sappy yes,but I am a sucker for sappy sentimental movies. Now that uh..very wholesome and sweet situation is taken care of..what's the next step for father and daughter?" I asked the two. Destiny gave Fafir back his remaining power and all the evil that was within was placed in a tiny little orb. It was casted far off to a unseen land. I pray no one ever finds that orb. Cause of they do Ol Aether may have a word for them.
"I also sense what Ourana did. So..when ya gonna marry my Papa huh?" Destiny giggled almost as she's teasing me. I blush and stumble on my words. She laughs it off and hugs me. "I mean you will live forever and Silvia won't..it's only fair that you two make it offical. After all..you've always been like a mom to me Lunaberry." Destiny said kissing my cheek. I blush out of embarrassment and Fafir swipes me up into on arm. "I will await you that day. For now honor the sacred bond of marriage with Silvia. In the mean time as a show of good faith I will trian Oceilia and be her "uncle" whenever she needs a listening ear, somewhere to stay and overall a teacher to talk to." Fafir declared. I thanked him
We three teleported right back to the place Ourana took me. Her eyes lit up and so did Fafir's once they made contact. The others also showed up and had the change to witness a father reunite with his daughter. I was fortunate to witness it twice.
"DADDYYYYYYYY!!!! Ourana yelled as she happily tackled her old man. They rolled in the dirt and hugged each other. "I missed you so so much!!! Don't leave me or Destiny ever again okay?!" Ourana said in a cutesy voice. Destiny also joined and it wa the cutest thing ever. My Aetherling daughters swarmed me and purred. Ocielia hugged me tight as well. "This is nice. So warm and cozy. Come on my Aetherling kin. Let's head back to camp and make smores." They cheered and off we went.
I figured Azou and her girls were worried so I caught her up to speed. Meanwhile Fafir and his two daughters talked. "So form what I'm seeing on this chart here. Daddy was only imprisoned for a mere nineteen years. He missed all those birthdays..no fair. I didn't even get a girlfriend or a boyfriend yet..not like you Destiny." Ourana said as she sat on her father's leg. "Actually uh..me and Na..broke up. It wasn't working out..and I may have scared him..I was drunk one night and gotten a little uh...beastly. I wanted to basically make Papa here a granddad. Sadly..thought Na's penis was up to the task..his heart wasn't in it..man..Am I gonna die a virgin? Least I hope not." Destiny mumbled as she wiped the dirt from her hair and dress.
"I suppose as your father. It's my turn to lay down some fatherly advice and wisdom. Well here it is: One should not simply seek the desired of flesh and blood, but they should also strengthen and harden their spirit and resolve." Fafir paused leaving his daughters amazed and speechless.
"You both our adults but take it from me my two offsprings. A women is worth far more than any pair of breasts or her rear end. In fact her beauty in general. What truly defines a woman is her character, her love towards those she cares for,and those that she'd be willing to die for.
You two are not mortal women,you two are goddesses and will live a thousand times over. Honor my words,teach them to my descendants and live by them for they are good for you." Fafir wisely said. The girls hugged their father and from there Fafir decided to start building a wide yet short log cabin. Each section would be for each member of the home. Thanks to Ourana's strength and Fafir's instructions the home was built within a few months. Destiny used her influence and apologized to all the families that have lost a family member. Fafir also offered his condolences and to make this up further he would teach the young children many things. Soon enough even the Aetherlings caught interest.
Pomu was last to know while Neoka monitor him from afar. Oh boy let's hope she doesn't get into too much trouble.
