Chapter 32 : Second day at work.

Kael was now back at his house. Josephine was taking a break to do some knitting while Velaya and Ren were watching some cartoons. Velaya's eyes beamed with admiration to all the things that was going on with the animated pictures before her.

Kael went over to check on Violett and Emeline, only to see that they've grown into toddlers.

"Daddy!" They pounced on Kael, normal humans can't push Kael down. Considering they are both summons it does make sense to why it had happened.

"Hey you two." Kael scratched their heads, then seeing Scarlet Vow holding up food to put to the table. The scent of the food was far more delicious than it ever was. Kael felt his mouth be full of saliva because of the smell itself. Just how potent was the cooking? Which reminds him, he forgot to savor his food properly because of the fact Ciara, Luca and Jonah are back. Kael needed to thank Luca for what he did and he needed to figure out what to do to thank him.

"Master. There's someone standing by the tree." Kael turned to see the blue haired teenager, speak of the devil.

"Let him in Scarlet. That is a friend." Scarlet Vow placed the plates to the table, then opened the sliding door.

"You can come in." Luca dropped down, he was fully geared with an AK, AR-10 and the pistol tucked to the side of his chest. His face was covered by metal mask that followed the shape of his face. With a pattern of a white skull etched over the black paint.

"Luca." Kael greeted as Luca lifted his mask.

"Kael." They shook hands and Kael pulled Luca close.

"I'm glad... I'm glad you're alive Luca. I heard about your home country. Your magic veins... Have they been fixed?" Kael asked, though he was hugging Luca a bit too tightly.

"Kael.. I might ch-" Kael let go of Luca quickly.

"Whoa, sorry about that. I just... I got more emotional there." Kael said where Luca nodded.

"Oh, Kael? We have a visitor?" Miriam asked as she was cooking in the kitchen.

"Avatar of War, Luca. He's from Abazmantisk." Jenny came out of her room as Kael introduced Luca, then seeing Luca take off his mask and helmet. Jenny's eyes beamed at Luca's handsomeness. Kael caught wind of that and smirked to his sister.

"Stay for dinner Luca. And take your gear off. Just keep the pistol." Luca nodded as he took out the magazines of his rifles, pulling the bolt to eject the bullet invside the chamber. Then taking off his combat vest and putting it aside. Lloyd returned home.

"I'm back. Oh, who's that?" Lloyd asked.

"My name is Luca." Luca introduced much to Kael's amusement.

"Luca, that's my dad's seat. Why don't you sit in front of me?" Luca did as he was told, which was beside Jenny's seat. Kael could see Miriam and Lloyd smirking at him, they understood Kael's intentions.

"Your family does not seem surprised to see that I am with a weapon." Luca said to Kael as he was going to take a seat beside Kael.

"Why would she be, Avatar? Her parents have been acknowledged and they met the Gods." They turned to see Mister Cuddles walking out with the axe on his back. Stretching his paws and legs, then laying down by the couch.

"Food's ready!" Ren and Velaya went to join the table with Velaya sitting beside Luca and Ren sitting beside Kael. Spaghetti carbonara with smoked duck, now that was a wondrous taste with some fresh fruit punch. Elegant mash potatoes and some beef ribs.

Jenny watched Luca take the steak knife and carved through the ribs clean, then placing it over to Velaya's plate.

"Would you like some?" Luca asked Jenny, where she passed her plate to him. Kael was making sure Velaya was getting her portions, then tending to Ren.

Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

"Thanks big brother." Ren said with a smile. Kael watched how Luca was taking care of Velaya when she had so much of the carbonara sauce on her mouth. A slight smile to it, but Kael understood it well.

"Kael... I have to say. It would be bad of me to ask you to join me in my fight for my people. You have family here." Luca said as he put his utensils down. That smile faded away unnaturally, almost forced.

"Where War goes.. Destruction follows." They turned to Nelista speak as he carried 20 bags of groceries over his arms.

"As humans say, one trip is all you need." Nelista said.

"It isn't up for debate, Luca. If you're going into this. I'm going with you."

"You have family, Kael. People to go back to..." Luca spoke as he took his plate to the kitchen.

"That doesn't change a thing Luca. You went after the 18 Blades Sect and you erased them to protect my family. I will do what I can to protect yours." Kael said as he got up.

"Not just him. Even us." Luca turned to see the other Avatars. Fall, Summer,Spring, Winter and Duel. They were wearing the Avatar Tailcoat, with the embroidery and chants to their Gods all over their outfits. Kael's Avatar of Destruction mask appeared. Their masks and helmets took form of what symbols they chose.

"Windgates... We are going after your empire, you know that, don't you?" The Avatar of Duel held his rapier in hand, with the raven mask over his face.

"I know, but as a Prince to the Avalon Empire. I stayed silent to all the devastation my country has caused. My allegiance has always been to my fellow Avatars. We who fought for peace and stopped the worlds from ending. When the Gods asked if we wanted to return. We made our choices." Windgates said as he sheathed his rapier and raised his arm where Luca responded with his. They bumped their arms together.

Violett and Emeline stepped out to see the others.

"Uncle Luc and Uncle Windy!" The two of them pounced on Luca and Windgates, obviously they were confused. They had no idea whose child it was. Then they saw Josephine stepping out.

"Kael. Can you make their milk before you go off on another adventure." Josephine said.

"Josephine?" Ciara hugged Josephine tightly.

"Koniva? It is good to see you my sister." Ciara held Josephine's cheeks, she was crying in tears as she looked at Josephine.

"Right. This is Kael's wife when he was Sylvain!" the Avatar of Spring finally realized it as he had a shear tucked to his pocket.

"So then... The two kids?" Luca and Windgates used their magic to bring the kids to float, then using magic to create toys for them. Two teddy bears, one black and one white.

"My daughters. Violett and Emeline. Turns out my wife wasn't killed by bandits. But by the townspeople." Kael said it so easily as he shook the bottles of milk formula. Winter chuckled as he readied his guitar, then seeing a few more Avatars standing outside.

"Death? Souls? Peace? Salvation?" Kael was surprised to see them as they came into the house. These were the other Avatars that were present. Souls was wearing his jeans and looked bored to death. Peace was wearing a white dress with a thick furcoat by her shoulders and Salvation was wearing a full black suit with a cigar in hand/

"Didn't you guys chose to not come back?" Kael asked them.

"We did, then while we were chilling out and relaxing. We heard about false Avatars making their way out. Seems like Avalon's been using these False Avatars to make a mess. We asked Lucius if we could come back. Help sort out this mess. He said sure but we can't go back up there but we've got our shit to settle." Souls spoke casually, it was how he has been anyway. The others turned to see how the Avatar of Peace's beautiful face was red with fury.

"Avalon has an Avatar of Peace. Yet she does not advocate against what has been done in Avalon. You have to understand, that as the Avatar of Peace. I cannot tolerate that!" The others felt their bodies shudder with how Avatar of Peace said it. Kael passed the bottle to Josephine who kissed Kael's cheeks. Then followed by Scarlet Vow who kissed Kael's cheeks.

"Kuro-Hana, Ga-eul, Baihua, Banshee. Black Symphony and Radiant Sonata. You'll be the ones I need for this." Kael said as his original four slotted themselves to Kael's hip, while the other two on the back.

"Oh right. This is my family." Kael introduced while his mother ended up filling bottles of fruit punch and even packing them a box of cookies each.

"Kael, make sure your friends come and take this before they leave okay? I can't just let you all go on your trip without snacks." Miriam said to them.

"Stay safe, Kael." Kael turned to his dad who was calm about it.

"You're not going to stop me?" Lloyd shook his head.

"Are you going to listen?" Kael shook his head.

"There's your answer. Just make sure you come home safe and what about work?" Lloyd asked, which Kael took a moment to nod. Then seeing Yueliang Hua, Xuehua and Scarlet Vow stepped out. Hati and Skoll appeared outside.

"We'll handle it. Go make some chaos." Scarlet Vow said to Kael as Kael turned to Ren and Jenny.

"Take care big brother." Ren spoke, well Kael patted his younger brother's head. Then looking at the other Avatars who grabbed the bottles of fruit punch and the box of cookies.

"Thanks Misses Webster." They all said to the Webster family as they put the cookies and fruit punch into their spacial storage. They stretched their necks as Avatar of Spring swung his hoe to the air, creating a large rift that showed the capital of Abazmantisk. Abada. They all headed inside.

Looking up to the crack of dawn, gunfire ravaged every where. They watched a building in front of them crumble by a shot from a tank. A drone flew past them, firing a missile aimed to their direction. Winter just took out a wand, then directing that missile back at it. Screams from all over the area.

"That has to be the most expensive 'No You' I've ever seen." Jonah said as he whistled.

"Now shall we start?" Kael asked the others as they nodded.
