Baraqiel POV
I recently just got work from my informants and my area that my house was under attack through both my wife's clan and from what I've heard some traders set at beef with me as well I thought irritably and worried for my wife and daughter.
But when I got there I was ambushed over 100 people came over and tried to kill me or keep me from reaching my daughter and wife I thought with anger.
And with that thought it sent me into a rage and I slaughtered everyone that I could before I realized what came over me I got to caught up in the battle and I forgot to go to my house instead of finishing off all these enemies I thought sadly praying hoping that my father would hear me at least this one time throughout my fallen existence.
When I finally arrived there at my house and when I saw that my wife and daughter were missing I started to cry believing I failed my wife my daughter but then I felt some traces of her magic.
My wife. I thought with happiness.
And when I managed to get there I managed to find a letter that she wrote to me.
To my beloved I know that right now it that you must believe that me and our daughter are passed away or dead or kidnapped but we're not we were saved by someone an new friend of our daughter that's saved both me and our daughter.
Worry not for right now he has brought us to his house and he said he'll do a note or a way to contact him so so you can get to the bar location soon but he said that you might be probably getting spied upon right now even as you read this letter.
And wouldn't mention that I was worried I made a big mess now they probably already have contacts already on me I spies familiars Right now I need to wait be patient even though that I would love to hug my wife my daughter so I can be in their embrace I cried silently.
I continued reading the letter.
Do not worry for you will always be with us in our heart Right now our daughter is going through wild emotions right now she blames you for not protecting us right now you her friend keeps telling her that you were probably ambushed or you were probably misled by now and just got information.
I started to think the friend of my daughter for putting me in a better light right now even though that I do not deserve it.
So when you're probably reading this you'll probably be long gone so we're not my love it's not the end of the world I have not passed and neither has our daughter and we will continue to love you so just wait until you receive the contact information and so you can be there also burn this note permanently we made sure that only you could sense it after all you're the only one that knows it was my magic signature since I changed it from my family.
I started to cry and I burned the letter just as if said to do requested.
Issei POV
It's been a week since I rescued the mother and daughter and welcome them into my house at first they had some trouble readjusting but I managed to smooth things over and I'm going to start training Akeno in 3 days so that's my plans.
Shuri continuous asking me questions about me and I answered them honestly and when I showed them the house it was similar to a mini mansion I managed to build this in the woods when no one could actually locate Don't get me wrong I love my house that my parents raised me in but I realize that I could not really do anything about that house it just brought back too many memories but I still wanted to keep the house so I do visit it once every week.
So I start to show them the secrets in fighting styles of how to control their flames I managed to make a cheap knock off of the mist ring so Shuri may also practice so when I connected to both Akeno and Shuri then show them my inner world they also met the red dragon inside my arm but they did not panic cuz I also told them I'm also this generation's red dragon emperor.
And back to the red dragon at least He's been having fun in my inner world Open skies good water and plenty of good earth and soil a purified world where nothing was damaged no pollution and no corruption at all not even a single thing could come wrong in this place though I did so Ddraig he can invite only two people.
That's when I met the two strongest host of the red dragon.
Belzard The strongest the male host and Elsha The strongest female host.
I looked in both of them with respect and awe.
And I caught myself and I decided to say hello.
Hello there Nice to meet you both The names Issei Hyoudou Nice to meet you I said with a big smile.
They raise their hands in greeting and they both said to their names to me
Greetings I am Belzard as you might have heard of me I'm the strongest male host in history he said so with humility.
Hello there dear my name is Elisha The strongest female host in all of history she said with pride and with the big smile.
Well as you both probably know by now I'm this generations Red dragon emperor I said with a smile.
They both nodded at that
So how do you like my world I questioned curiously
I love it Elisha said first with joy and happiness.
Indeed it is amazing Belzard set an agreement.
Sorry if it's a bit bland right now I said with a little humor.
What do you mean a nice open sky plenty of open land and that gorgeous looking sea Elisha said confused.
Well in all honesty they're supposed to be more here I said.
They both looked confused and surprised and they both said this at the same time.
Huh what do you mean? simultaneously
You see my elements are supposed to add more life to this world besides this open sky they're supposed to be clouds and rain lightning maybe you mist in a giant big oh nice ray of sun they both look surprised and looked up at the sky noticing all the details missing and we're stated out.
And the same thing can be said with the Earth as well there's no forests no swamps there's no lakes as well that and no mountains and glaciers as well as deserts I continued.
They looked across the barren land seeing no trace of anything that I just mentioned.
And don't forget about the Sea as well The surface is not even there The coral isn't there as well and the whirlpools as well as the tides and vents aren't there as well and you can't even see the abyss inside the sea. I finished.
Then looked at the sea and noticed all those details that were missing as well and they could not help but wonder were they really stuck in that thing for so long that they can miss out on all the little things they both side at that.
Well don't worry about it it's still a nice Belzard said with the smile
Yes some of those details are kind of saddening but don't worry we've been stuck in that thing for so long that we kind of forgot what the normal world look like we just knew there was a sky a sea and the Earth responded Elisha said with a voice full of emotion
Don't worry about it when I get my full set of guardians this world will look amazing I said with a open grin on my face.
They both looked at me and like I was going crazy and both started to laugh.
And they both told me why they were laughing and it was the same thing funny enough
And here we thought you're only goal was so you could have a great big family they both uttered out through laughter.
I blushed a bit remembering those memories but luckily right now they're just chilling in the mountains were dragged decided to live that he made his hole in.
Now to check up on that world
I then went into my mindscape
And I saw then at the horizon some storms coming and I couldn't help but smile
So this is what it's like to have a new element in my world I like it. I thought happily.
So when I decided to ask ether the mother or daughter what they think of this and they both said one thing
It's amazing.
I smiled at that because this was on me at this point that storm right there was something new and very important to me now I thought happily
Then Akeno sold the direction I was looking at and asked what were those storm clouds coming over here for she question curiously
I then look at her and then responded with.
That my lady would be your doing you are a storm after all so this is my normal world but without you or my other elements this would just be a barren world there won't even be a sun in this guy The only bit of light is cuz I feel like it's day incredible right I said teasingly with a bit of humor
She blessed a bit when I said that and was going to hit me I thought.
No more teasing me or else she threatened darkly.
I let out her nervous chuckle then I noticed Shuri smiling at this and I was curious at what she was smiling for so I decide to ask.
Oh it's nothing dear it's just nice seeing my daughter act all scary in front of a boy she's likes it honestly quite cute seeing it from my perspective she told me but the big oh smile.
I then side at that and whispered this under my breath though both probably could hear me.
Just great just my freaking luck. I whispered
But I did just hear both of them chuckle at me meaning they both hurt me oh great I sighed inwardly.
Shuri POV
It took me a bit but I finally got a custom to this place and this new little house I thought happily.
I noticed my daughter happiness and I was happy too we were both safe and sound and my husband knows that we're a perfectly fine.
I can't help but wonder though what's going to happen after a while.
It's already been a week and he's starting to train us with how to use our flames.
He has been making me do the exercises of making little objects be it spoons, forks to pencils and the most complicated thing right now is a teddy bear.
But for my daughter's training he said that this power of storms is called disintegration he explained.
Right now he has been showing her how to control her flames as well by making her destroy objects to a point he first showed her how to channel his power I already had a basic understanding of this cuz of my background in my Shinto faith and willpower alongside my magic but my daughter had no way of had access to this neither did her cousin which I just realized might be attacked later on now I thought dread
Though I try to hide it he noticed it instantly I cursed inwardly and thought damn that hyper intuition.
Well sadly might as well bite the bullet I thought and went forward and told him about my fears and suspicions about my niece and asked him if he could watch over her as well because knowing my brother the idiot will most likely try to use his daughter as a bargaining chip to get to me or my daughter or marry her off into another family I thought bitterly.
He simply nodded at that and decided to tell me he'll think of a way to get her to safety as well trying to assure me but I could tell that he was thinking of a way to also find a peaceful solution he is already causing more trouble than he already was meant to I could tell that this was already making things worse for him but I can't help it it's my family after all and she was the only one nice to my daughter I don't want anything bad to happen to her as well I thought with some sadness and remorse.
Don't worry I'll find a way to rescue her so make sure to continue training so I won't have to go through this nightmare routine again okay he said with the grin.
I could tell that he was answering me honestly and without deception which I was happy for because he was honestly one of the nicer few people I met and he's actually able to accomplish the things he mentioned without it becoming a suicide mission.
I then looked towards my daughter to see what's going on with her and prayed that this will be a happy ending and for her to have a happy life I thought happily and hopefully.
Akeno pov
After getting to know my Savior for a while he also explained to me about my flames and what they're capable of he has been making me destroy things and be it from pebbles to large pieces of concrete and I asked him why the concrete and not anything else he said that storm flames are like acid he said trying to explain it to me then I could understood what he meant instantly.
He then went on to explain to me about how we are connected and when I saw him look into the sky at the distance storm clouds I felt something resonating me so I decided to ask him this question.
What are those storm clouds in the horizon? I ask curiously
Those are yours this is what you had an effect on me for you brought the storm to my endless world you made it less boring more interesting chaotic but interesting he responded with happiness.
I then looked and thought of what he meant by that and asked if it was always plane like this before the storm clouds came.
He laughed and said yes because there was nothing else he was merely a home without any occupants now there's finally some occupants he also then went on to explain what secondary guardians are if he ever chooses to use the one of those methods I asked secondary
You can have more than one of the same element you know but you have to have a deeper fundamental connection like you know how there's two people that you know that you feel like you can get along with but one you feel better at than the other I nodded
Well that's basically it but in a more fundamental way I subconsciously spiritually and mentally figure out who's the best one for me and right now I can feel that your mother is the one that's going to become my secondary guardian after my first guardian of the mist he told me even though I can feel the connection with your mother it's not like our bond which is instantly formed. he responded
I nodded at that and asked if when he's going to get another guardian his response surprised me.
I don't look for them nor will they look for me I will just go when they need me that is what a guardian and a home is for. he said calmly.
He also explained to me what attributes are for skies
Attributes are like this you see there are many skies out there but you need to have a fundamental core for instance some skies have power so they draw powerful people and people that seek power to them while there are people that value freedom over anything else so when they gathered like-minded people for freedom therefore they become stronger. he responded to me
I asked him then what is your attribute then why is it that I was called I questioned him curiously
Well the truth is my attribute from what I can see is family he said to me calmly he then went on to explain more why he thought that
You see when you lose something you hold precious you realize how important it is for you but you can't feel the gap which is left behind by those you love All you can do is try to make peace with what you have and move forward but that doesn't mean you can't find more family more loved ones more happiness with other people.he said calmly
And then I realized what he meant by it attracts people by similar natures for I truly know what it feels like to about to lose my family and then from that point I started to think he also explained to me how he lost his parents in a car accident. At first he thought it was supernatural but then you realize that it was just natural coincidence sadly for him but happily that he didn't turn into another person.
I then continue with my training so I can become strong for my sky and I'm think I'm developing a little crush I thought with the blush
So afterwards after my training was over I decided to spend a couple of weeks honing my skills.
It has been about a Year after everything has happened after those weeks that I moved in and there have been several other guardians that have joined us now and I'm happy that we have a big family just like my Sky wanted I thought with pride and joy
