Everyone is sitting at the table eating and drinking an elf tea blend that helps calm the mind. They are so thankful the elfs have tea like this, they don't know if they would sleep tonight without it.
The fear of death puts a new lease on life for them. Queen Safira is still holding Damian that is now smiling and giggling when she plays with him, this makes her so happy and calms her mind that wanted to go God hunting, she's completely dropped that for now….
The children are still a little scared though, which makes Queen Safira sad because she didn't want to come off as a monster to them.
"Children I'm sorry for what I did, please believe me I'm not a monster and I didn't mean to hurt anyone ", Queen Safira gets a little tear well looking at them
Prince Logon looks up and smiles:" Aunt Safira don't worry mom explain everything, I'm super sorry about little… hmmm what's his name again?"
"Damian ", Queen Estel quickly answers
"Yes Damian, I'm sorry that he's been through so much ", Prince Logon looks at Damian
Princess Aeryn just keeps quiet and looks down at the table ….
"Little Aeryn are you okay my sweetie, can Auntie Safira do anything to help, anything you name it and I'll do it ?"
Princess Aeryn looks up slowly a little sad, pauses….but she finally decides to speak:" An..anything ?"
"Anything sweetheart, if it's within my power I will do it. If it's not well…' winks smiling at her'…Auntie Safira will still do it "
Princess Aeryn smiles at her:" Can we please play later or tomorrow "
Queen Safira smiles at her:" Well of course lovey, we will certainly play together tomorrow I wouldn't want it any other way. Anything else sweetie and what about you little Logon do you want anything ?"
Princess Aeryn shakes her head because her parents taught her that to greedy is bad…
"Uhmmm can I think on it please, I'm still you know…. processing what happens "
Queen Safira nods her head at him:" No problem take all the time you need "
"Thank you, Auntie Safira ", and goes back to eating a cake.
Queen Estel looks at them and then to Queen Safira:" Well we finally have a name Damian isn't that wonderful, what a beautiful name what does it mean ?"
"Hmmm I know us Emmortal to use it for 'To Tame', wonder what mortal might use it for ", King Aerin looks at Queen Estel
Queen Safira then also speaks:" I know the Gods use it for many things like 'Master' or 'Conquer' ….but you are probably right it must mean something else for mortals "
" A conquer…ahhhh who would call their adorable child that….I mean look how gorgeous he is ", Fenris says well looking at him
"Hahaha, he better not be a heart stealer then, since all you women seem to be captivated by his…yeah I don't think a word could do those eyes justice ", King Aerin looks at him
Queen Estel looks at her husband and smiles:" You just might be right darling, maybe we should think about hiding them…others the women might you know ran after him "

Prince Logon looks at him:" Now I want eyes like that, where can I get them "
"Little Prince Logon don't say that your gorgeous hazel eyes are beautiful as well, I'm sure you will grow up to be…uhmm I'll tell you when you are older "
Prince Logon smiles:" You think so aunt ", touches his face:" But dad says always look for a kind-hearted girl, not a false girl "
Queen Estel starts choking on her tea as she death stares at her husband, King Aerin just tries to fake a laugh…
"Ha ha ha son you are funny aren't you, jokes like that aren't fun…' whack'…ouch that hurt darling "
Queen Estel keeps staring at him:" You want more d.a.r.l.i.n.g !!!!!!!!!"
He lifts his hands:" I held please don't alright I'm stupid as usual, and you weren't supposed to repeat that "
"Don't blame your son for your stupidity ", she glares at him some more
King Aerin just sighs:" Okay I'm sorry "
"Hmph you will be later ", she drinks her tea again.
King Aerin decides to change the subject:" Queen Safira what do you plan to do with Damian ? he can't go to the upper realms, not with a powered rank level"
Queen Safira sighs at those words:" I know he is indeed a mortal that slipped through a possible crack "
He adds" I don't think even his body can take the Immortal Sky River power level", he looks at his wife that may still be grumpy but also wants to know now….
Safira looks up at the King and says " You are right, Damian is too weak in rank wise he won't survive the pressure, I was hoping to find his race, but it displayed question marks why is that? then eats a cake well feeding one to Damian.
King then thinks for a bit and then finally answers " He's either a race that hasn't been documented, maybe a new one in the mortal realm " or " That hex is preventing us from finding out. I'm leaning towards the mortal one ".
"Why darling ?", Queen Estel wants to know now
King Aerin smiles trying to lessen his punishment:" There are so many mortals born, so those eyes could be as natural as our pointy ears, Queen Safira's wings on her back, a merfolk tail and werewolphs eyes is a prime example of just natural to his species "
"I see now, thanks darling makes sense now"
Queen Safira looks at Damian then points to him and says "Damian" he looks at her pointing at him and says "Damian" she smiles and claps.
She then looks up and says:" To answer your other question from earlier….when my months up…. I have to return to the Beast Domain 'she gets sad'…", a tear falls down her eye
"I will search for answers about this hex he has to help him, I'll speak to some God friends and the Ancient God Turtle king he owes me favours I'll cash in. About Damian, I was hoping you could maybe raise him for me please, as you can see he's been through a lot so I was hoping to give him something stable and secure for once".
King Aerin and Queen Estel both speak at the same:" Of course, we will "
Queen Estel carries on:" He's so cute and it will be our honour to raise him I was hoping you would ask us, I wouldn't want to see him in the adoption agency "
" Genuinely do you have that? , how many kids are orphaned?", Kiron speaks
King Aerin sighs:" So many of the gods' games have gotten so bad, it's why we switched to peace now to help with the Dimensional Gates "
"That's so sad how awful what a bunch of monsters, I wish something could be done but that god just had to change the rules ", Fenris sighs and gets super sad
Queen Safira also gets sad but speaks about Damian again:" Thank you two so much, I knew I could put my faith in you both….Damian, you see they are your new parents and will look after you." She's pointing at The King and Queen, but her heart is heavy saying those words and feels sad.
Damian looks where she's pointing then looks back and says "Safira ". That makes another tear fall and she hugs him and whispers so softy
Queen Safira:" I Love you so much, thank you ".
Then says out loud:" I'm your Aunt, Aunty Safira to you "
Damian shakes his head, which melts her heart of steel even more so she drops the matter and asks the King what happened to the planet and explains this peace thing….
Then King Aerin tells her everything that's happened. That the Emmortals were losing the fight in the Dimensional Gates, so the Queen of Wizards come up with the idea to unify everybody.
So all the races on the planet and other planets come together and formed a UBC (United Beings Council), they then worked together and created a schooling system for kids ages 12-15 for all the kids to go to and learn and work together.
At the age of 16 they still go to school but as apprentices, if they can get one with their skills, or they take a break.
Then we created a post-graduation camp for ages 17-20, that takes the kids to worlds where they adventure together, and learn different skills, increasing their power comprehension by a lot ….but is currently under construction to become a military academy
From this union, we have also jumped leaps and bounds, in technology, runes, skills, combat arts, powers, talismans, you name it we have improved it.
The forest elfs no longer have to run and hide, and no more wars with the other clans it has been a blessing, we learnt so much from water elfs and they learnt so much from us.
Queen Safira then asks many questions she is completely blown away by the idea. She wants to know how it works and how they sorted out their differences…she just keeps asking and King Aerin and Queen Estel answer all her questions
After so much talking they have already eaten dinner and decided it was time to call it a night. Each went to their designated bedroom.
Fenris starts running the bath water and asks:" Safira, are you alright ? what's troubling you?".
Queen Safira walks to the bed and gets Damian undressed, " Nothing dear Fenris that you must be concerned about, I'll talk with Drac in the morning they should be here or late afternoon "
Fenris hugs Queen Safira tightly:" You are gonna miss him aren't you, I can see your heart breaking knowing you have to leave him, when you saved me from my dad, I was able to stay with you, you cared for me, raised me like your child, I love you like my mother, even though you told me to call you mom, I can't because I don't wanna tarnish the memory of my mother, and yet I don't love you any less, so I'm truly sorry mom " she cries well holding Safira
Safira also starts crying:" Thank you my Fenris, my daughter you have helped me so
much it means so much to hear that from you finally, you are right I am genuinely gonna miss him, I wish I could stay here longer with him, but I'm also a Queen and have a duty to my clan ".
I'm sorry that you hold such a burden keeping the Dark Dragon King away if only he wasn't here the other God beast wouldn't pick a fight with you since you are the strongest beast ".
Queen Safira:" Thank you my daughter now let's get ready to bathe and then sleep ".
Which they do….
