All the while back with the young prince Aurea had soon explained the situation once more while the young prince adorably nodded in Celes's lap while hugging Elyris's tail.
Surprising all three and causing Hanah after realizing Aurea would be sticking around be it semi-separate or not to then strangely sigh.
"Aurel.. tell us the truth! Is Aurea still just you from your inheritance or is Aurea no longer a part of you?"
Hanah strangely asked surprising the young prince and causing him to then adorably nod before then looking to Aurea causing Aurea to then adorably nod as well.
"I'm still Aurel, and we are still one-minded if not still semi-separate yet the same? It's.. hard to explain.. unlike the avatar of gods I'm a mortal avatar, mortal avatars are drastically different, the gods use their own fragments to both control and allow a certain amount of freedom?"
"For Mortal Avatars, it's the same person? No fragments, just one Aurel and two sets of shared memories and personalities that I refuse to throw away, I prefer individuality and through that, I allow myself a certain amount of freedom and a semi-mind of my own so I can stay awake and enjoy my hobbies?"
"Of course, it stresses my mind but it's no different from breathing at this point I suppose? So for all intents and purposes I can switch back to Aurel and we'd be no different, but I don't want that since it's already confusing and I love my life as Aurea as well and now I'll now be able to share it with myself?"
Aurea helplessly explained causing the young prince to then helplessly nod knowing how confusing it sounded causing both Elyris and Molly to then surprisingly nod.
As if understanding right away which in itself was quite surprising resulting in Hanah having still felt skeptical to then contemplate.
Causing Aurea to then immediately switch to her Elven Royal Bloodline revealing a fourteen-year-old young prince albeit princess due to Aurea being a girl?
Surprising everyone while the young prince adorably blushed before then simply pouting and hugging Hanah.
"I'd imagine I'll always love you even if you're the prettiest bully? Big sister shouldn't think so much!"
Aurea gently pouted surprising everyone once more and completely blindsiding poor Hanah causing her to then albeit reluctantly, 'accepted' it..
Before then simply angrily frowning and cuddling her as if a confirmation knowing if true 'she' wouldn't resist it?
Resulting in everyone soon following suit.
Especially Molly, to put it simply all of her 'hate' she had for her was really just Malik's assistant who stole her away and apparently drugged her meaning she thought she was her mommy while in that sleepy state.
Meaning.. after realizing it wasn't coupled with the fact that her real mommy genuinely looked for her.
And even mourned her so much to the extent that she became an autonomous cold puppet acting as if nothing had ever happened while in private looking at her memory crystals of her and simply crying.
All of which no doubt truly convinced Molly at the fact that not only did her mommy care about her but she missed her so much to the extent that she simply couldn't have recovered and that her mommy not only loved but missed her..
However, Molly was simply overwhelmed having not even recovered from every time someone had mentioned the past and her real name and origin.. so much so that she simply ran.. which resulted in her heart being in even more pain!
And it hurt even more after talking to both Hanah and Elyris the only two people who could relate to.
Both her and Elyris were abandoned and they had the same male birth giver even if she was abandoned by Malik's Assistant and not her mommy.
Both were forced to mature while their big sister Hanah had also been abandoned and simply sealed away for millenniums..
Resulting in them quickly realizing that she was fortunate to still have a mommy who cared, even Elyris chose mommy Feless as her new mommy.
As for Hanah she still had her mommy, daddy, and little sister not to mention best friend while both she and Elyris thought of Hanah as a true big sister.
Ultimately resulting in both helping Molly decide where and when to meet her. And after the young prince was updated on everything he happily suggested his secret celestial garden!
He had copied Celes's stone building, fire pit, and long cozy couches and simply left it there just in case!
Meaning they had a perfect secluded and private place! Ignoring the bunnies, foxes, and some lesser fairies he had found and tossed there..
To put it simply he found them sleeping and simply tossed them in his ring and tossed them back into a much better and safer environment.
Be it a variety of celestial fruit, pristine icy water ponds, mana water fountains, berries, nuts, or anything really? Making it fully capable of becoming a small yet thriving community!
Stolen novel; please report.
Albeit a small one with a small tribe of fairies that essentially love nature and the foxes and bunnies around it!
Resulting in the young prince explaining just that until Aurea decided to ruin it by simply explaining how he got them in the first place meaning the case of kidnapping sleeping fairies! Among many others?
Causing everyone to then adorably pause and both Jade and Celes to laugh their hearts out while Lady Mora pouted knowing damn well she was the one who suggested it!
Resulting in the young prince ultimately 'explaining' his habitat ring given to him by Selphie along with everything in it..
Albeit in an adorable manner while Aurea herself explained the gist of it surprising everyone, especially by the mentioning of big sister Crimly.
Albeit both Celes and Hanah actually who knew who that was while Elyris remembered the name but forgot while as Molly had no idea causing Aurea to then playfully nod before then wrapping her arms around both Molly and Elyris.
"Lady Crimly is Lady Frostma's sister I believe? In any case, she isn't anyone's pet and much scarier than that dimensional horror-right you didn't meet 'her' or perhaps 'it' yet? It doesn't matter I suppose! If you want to experience true horror and nightmares ask to see her 'real' form!"
"For all intents and purposes, I'd 'highly' suggest you 'never' ask her that! Or anything really? She doesn't talk but she 'is' cute.. so it's a mixed bundle to be sure. Thinking of mixed bundles, let's talk more on the way to the garden! Time waits for no one especially when it comes to mommies?"
Aurea curiously suggested before then playfully kissing both of their cheeks while the young prince kissed both Hanah's, and Celes's.
After the adorable antics and even more bonding, Celes had been the first to leave seeing as she wanted to ensure the young prince's and 'her' arrangements stayed just that!
While also keeping an eye on that Lady No Name while Hanah herself had hoped to sneak Luna back to the 'old' world after also planning on disappearing in the gardens?
Soon enough after leaving Hanah's room, they were soon greeted by Gemma, Lady Salen, and Lady No name having only just arrived back after exploring the library.
To put it simply Lady No Name 'attempted' to eat quite a few books.. so much so that Tilly had to intervene!
All the while Lady Void who had been sneaking around was quickly discovered by Lady No Name resulting in her excusing herself before then becoming invisible once more and walking to the other side of the room.
Strictly speaking, she was still in fact following them.. the reason being unlike literal goddesses.
She simply didn't have the ability to create 'divine' mirrors and simply wanted to watch, causing the young prince having seen her the entire time to then adorably let her.
He was simply happy to know she was around! While Elyris, Hanah, and Molly examined Lady No Name surprising Elyris having recognized just 'what' she truly was after seeing the image of a Golden Void Monarch on her mask.
Not only had she learned about them through Malik, but after he had abandoned her.. one had actively experimented on her!
A deal had been made with the former Vares Family, they had tried to convince The Endless Abyss however they had outright refused.
Not even the sealed portions of The Endless Abyss had dared to accept, to put it simply the celestial crusades gave them enough trauma to deal with!
Resulting in the void being the next best thing? Albeit it wasn't and simply beyond outrageous, especially when considering the high value and sensitivity of the project? Resulting in Elyris simply tossing such things aside.
While her only real concern was what 'it' wanted, and knowing how innocent and trusting her first pillar or perhaps simply little brother truly was, she simply felt protective from that moment on.
Not wishing or wanting to even imagine the horrors inflicted on her being inflicted on her little brother..
While both Molly and Hanah were also quite protective, The Void were wild cards to begin with and even Molly researched everything she could about her situation.
And the parties involved meaning she knew albeit not as much as an expert would have.
Resulting in the young prince adorably looking at all three causing Hanah to then angrily shake her head.
"I made an arrangement s-so I'll be heading out first!"
Hanah strangely confessed before then simply marching off confusing everyone all the while causing the young prince to then adorably nod before then happily hugging Gemma, he missed his mommy and Gemma was the next best thing!
Mera and the others were most likely either busy watching over the others if not looking for him, Molly, and Elyris.
Thankfully Gemma had already informed Aldra of these antics.. resulting in her gently shaking her head while everyone prepared to go to the garden.
And Devyn playfully poked her cheek while both Audree and Aubrey slept in both Aldra's and Marjorie's laps.
To put it simply after both Octavia's and Rory's intensely adorable pouts solely directed at Bradley, both of them, Stella, Elisabet, Scarlet, Mili, Laurel, and everyone else for that matter was thrilled and loved their two new archmage sisters!
A Wood Elf was still an Elf! And a Feless was always a Feless! Meaning outside the fact they were all related and had enough similarities they were still new faces and big sisters nonetheless?
Excluding Octavia and Rory who still have the big sister rivalry of sorts going on, in any case after throwing that aside they happily embraced their new sisters!
Especially Laurel who was their little brother's apparent female twin they already met?
All the while after all the adorable antics and the long walk to the garden had ended the young prince sleepily yawned after the short nap.
Having now arrived into the innermost celestial gardens where naptime would usually take place before then adorably nodding and hugging both Elyris and Molly.
They were a few minutes early meaning they had some time to prepare! Resulting in the young prince revealing three of his little secrets!
That being his much older Mortal Avatars that were deliberately made their own individuals comparable to bloodline avatars? At least that's what he based them on!
All the while still sharing the same link meaning they were more like future if not simply older Aurels! All three looked around sixteen while each focused on one individual bloodline! Celestial, Elf, and Dark Elf!
Auriana focused on his celestial bloodline and was a mixture of fragments of Avery, Aurea, Annie, and some bits of Amber.
While as for her Elf counterpart her name was Aurene and was a mixture of fragments of Aldra from the memory crystals, Noel, and himself.
And lastly their Dark Elf counterpart Aurelia who was a mixture of Amelia, himself, and even small bits of Silas?! To put it simply they were diverse and old enough to be 'different' enough to have their own individuality while as still being the same!
Be it their personalities, outfits, jewelry, hairstyles, and even the smaller bit! And of course, they were all female for the difference boost.
The reason again for such drastic changes being again.. If it was simply three of him it'd be way too confusing!
Meaning these changes were necessary and wouldn't cause any pouting sessions! Surprising everyone and causing Aurene to gently smile before then happily hugging Gemma.
All the while back with Aurea who had disappeared with very little context, she was now with Aldra who had been late after speaking to both The Inari Delegation and a certain Empress who went along with Marjorie and the others.
