Nero smiles as the girl whom he had shared his early years in his past hugs him tightly, shedding tears of joy at their reunion. Although he is pretty confused when she mentioned their high school graduation trip.

After a while she sets him loose and examines him closely before asking, "Nero! When did you dye your hair? What's that shiny black tear drop on your forehead? Why do you look so young?..." She looks down and rubs her chest before signing sadly, "where did my boobs go?" Her questions came out a mile a second causing him to chuckle wryly.

"Haha... Slow down there! I will answer as many questions as possible." He assures her before coughing to clear his throat.

"I'll start with the main important fact that you will need to know. First of all we died, that is right. Died. This is how I look now and that is how you look from now on. We are kids again." Nero explains to her. Hearing that the two of them died she begins to tear up.

She begins to sniffle sadly at the fact that both her and Nero had died, "b-but I didn't want to die! What about mom and dad? Auntie and Uncle! We never got to graduate... *sniffs*"

"Wait... What?" Before Nero could ask a piece of paper flutters down from above and lands in his hands.

Hi there darling!

Mother here again! I forgot to mention in the last note that I erased all of her memories of her life beyond the last few months of before your graduation. If she were to know how she pushed you away, bewitched or not, she would have been devastated. Even if her will was never her own, she was still aware.

Bye-bye sweetie!

"Huh... Mother sure is thorough in her work." Nero said. He watches over his mourning childhood sweetheart and pets her head softly in comfort, which seems to work a little. 'It is for the best I suppose.' He thought with a smile.

"So..." Nero drones on and pauses before asking, "my name in this new life is Nero, Nero Le Fay. What name did mother bestow upon you?"

Wiping the tears from her eyes and sniffles once more. She looks into Nero's eyes and smiles brightly, her tear stain face sparkling in the sunlight. As replies, "Mother-in-law bestowed to me the name, Deva Le Fay." Deva then goes to explain that she was named after the sultry Moon Goddess of the Hintu panteon. Then she continues" Le Fay to be the family name."

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

She looks into Nero's eyes before blushing shyly while fidgeting, "Mother-in-law sure is shipping us. N-not that I don't mind. Deva Le Fay... It has a nice ring to it *Squeals*."

Nero just watches her daydreaming with sweatdrop and thinks to himself, 'If that cultist creep and his pig of a father never showed up, then would she have happily married me?'

As Deva continues to daydream, Nero is finally able to clearly see the large scroll she was holding. A familiar red swirl is on the side of the scroll and his suspicion has been confirmed.

Deva was always a fan of old Chinese martial arts, samurai, and ninja legends. She especially enjoyed the Naruto series. So it makes sense that his mother would bestow her a legacy to keep up with his overpowered magical capabilities. Between the mother of chakra legacy or an immortal cultivator. Either one of them would give him a run for his money and she would end up a celestial beauty when she grew up.

'Haa... Wizards, sorcerers, and other magic types lack in physical capabilities. I better spend some time building up my body if I want to keep up with that bundle of endless energy.' Nero thought to himself and smiles.

...

After spending time catching up with each other. Nero and Deva decide to explore the island they have found themselves stranded on. Walking along the beach, they eventually come across a bay surrounded by land in a crescent pattern.

"It's beautiful." Nero said admiringly at the beautiful tropical paradise before them.

Deva agrees, "It is. We should make this our home!"

He could only nod in agreement. The bay would be perfect for them. All they would need to do is build themselves a shelter and scour the area for some resources. A reliable and clean fresh water source, a place to harvest wild vegetables and fruits, plus catalogue the island's fauna in order to work out a proper hunting plan.

Something tells them that they will be eating fish more than anything. With Deva following the shinobi path, she would need the most nutrition in order to grow properly.

After finding the bay the two continue to follow the beach all the way around and discover that the island is no more than a couple of miles in radius. Once the two return to the same bay it had already become later in the evening, a mere hour and a half away from sunset.

At this point the two focus their exploration inland in hopes of finding a water source. Fortunately they were in luck and found a small lake being feed by a waterfall with a small river originating from the mountain at the island's center.

Taking a quick sip of the crystal clear water, Nero confirms it's freshness with a smile. While chatting for a bit, the sun begins to set on the two. So as to not be stranded in the darkness, Nero and Deva search for shelter and luckily stumble upon the cavern behind the waterfall that has it's own personal lake seperated from the one outside.

The cave is lit up by numerous luminescent crystals growing on the walls and ceiling of cavern. After looking around they can confirm that there is only two entrances to this subterranean paradise. One being the waterfall, the other being the underwater caves feeding the mini lake pure fresh aqua.

It is at this moment Nero and Deva had decided...

"This is home!"
