Sin and Jasmine shared a long hug that crossed worlds and time. Sin had wept until he became a complete and utter mess. His precious little sister hadn't truly died, for 10 years he blamed himself as her older brother for not protecting her.

Sims voice quivered as he hugged Jasmine tighter.

"Of course I remember my little sister. How could I not? Your older brother failed to protect you. How could I ever forgive myself for that?"

The King came up to stage, 10 people including the Dragon King had died. While 90 had come back alive, the race rating of humans also moved up to the top 100.

"Congratulation everyone who has made it back alive. I trust you all gave the other races a reason to run. We have once again become a top 100 race! I would like to thank Sin on behalf of my family, and every other human being in the universe for the contribution made to the human race!"

"For the clans and families who have lost their leaders, we will hold a burial in their honour. Please forgive me, as your King I cannot guarantee to protect every life within my walls. I will however, guarantee everyone who serves me and died in their service, will be honoured for as long as my family rules this continent. You have my word!"

The king grabbed a dagger and cut it across his open palm.

"This is my oath to all of you! If you serve me with your respect, integrity, life, family, blood sweat and tears. I swear I will serve you all with the same gravity! I will not let the lives of my children, your children, family, loved ones, dreams, and futures be wasted!"

Everyone present felt a divine presence, then everyone had seen a giant contract in mod air burning in a majestic golden flame.

"My words have meaning in this land. My words are my life, and you, my people are my blood, happiness, and pride as King of these lands. Thank you all for your service. I hope you will accept this kowtow of mine. Your kings and queens who have fallen were all my good friends. May their souls, spirits, and passion live on with all of us who have witnessed my oath on this very day.

The King knelt down and kowtow heavily, quaking the entire capital city. By the time he was done, his entire face and body were covered in his own blood.

"I cannot take my life, but please accept this bloodshed of mine in honour of your continued loyalty!"

Many had shared their sorrows, some left to go to a tavern and get drowned by Bacchus. Life is a precious thing, it was no easy loss losing the people you loved and cared for.

Sin returned to the Vermilion Bird clan with everyone in company, tonight all the chefs were kicked out as Sin was taking care of the meals. Sin spent the next 5 hours cooking supper for the entire Vermilion Bird Clan. During this time, Alannah had been drooling while staring at all the food.

Sin and Alannah had unknowingly initiated a game of cat and mouse, Sin would be flipping pans of food while tapping Alannahs hands away as she tried to steal it away. Jasmine walked into seeing this game, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Big bro, I didn't know you had child."

Sin lost concentration for 01. second, this was all Alannah needed to grab food and stuff it into her mouth. Alannah instantly had a good opinion of Jasmine.

"Big sister is the best! Papa broke his concentration allowing me to win!"

Jasmine walked over and saw what Sin was preparing.

"You still remember my favourite food after all this time?"

Sin smiled "Of course I do, big brother hasn't cooked this meal in so long. I'm just afraid that it won't be as good as it use to be."

Alannah had a puzzled look on her face. Did she want to stay with her papa, or did she want to go with the big sister that helped her win a snack?

Alannah had made her choice, papa was the best and all, but big sister had let her get a free snack!

Seeing this Sin was all smiles. "Be careful and keep a close eye on her, as cute as she is she can also be a mischievous devil."

Alannah heard this and pouted. "Don't listen to papa, he just likes bullying me all the time!"

Jasmine laughed heartily. "Alright alright, papa is a bad man who likes to bully you. Let's go and play until papa has supper cooked.

Just as Jasmine was walking past Reiya, Reiya's eyes nearly shot out of her head. She jealously asked Jasmine.

"Hey, how did you get that little devil away from Sin?"

Alannah stuck her tongue out at Reiya which made her even madder.

Jasmine thought about it. "Hmm well I walked into the kitchen when they were playing cat and mouse with food. I distracted big brother, and this little one got a free snack."

Alannah had a smug look on her face. as if saying That's right I won all on my own!

Another hour passed, Sin had brought out massive works to the various dining rooms. Each wok had enough to feed 10,000 men and women each.

"Supper is ready, you all may grab a plate and begin enjoying your meal." Sin declared aloud.

Sin had already gotten his plates ready for the girls and himself. God forbid he had the audacity to make gluttons wait, thankfully he did not.

After sitting down and enjoying their meal as a family. Sin finally asked what had been on his mind.

"Jasmine, what happen 10 years ago?"

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

After finishing her plate Jasmine answered.

"Glaze had sent me to this world. Up until 10 days ago, I was supposed to be a mind controlled puppet to fight you. However, all of you had entered the Grand Warrior Trials. During that time, Glaze removed the bombs inside my body and let me be free. He said that you would be here, and all I had to do was wait for your return."

Jasmine's voice wavered, and she asked.

"How is mom and dad?"

Sin answered as lightly as he could.

"Mom and dad had suffered a lot, both of them fell ill and couldn't take care of themselves anymore. I assure you at the beginning it was hard for everybody. As time passed on, we were able to function again."

"I have become a successful mercenary, and earth's deadliest assassin in history. Mom and dad are well taken care of, and have strong people taking care of them 24/7."

"I will let you in on a little secret. I have become the Wolf King, within my territory is a portal that connects this world with earth. Your physique is more than enough to allow you to transfer through the portal. Go back home with mom and dad."

Jasmine's eyes showed longing, but she quickly let go of that new hope.

"I'm not leaving you here alone big brother! I know what disaster is coming our way here."

Sins voice was raised in a demanding tone.

"I am not asking you, I am telling you to leave here! I was already a failure to protect you once Jasmine! I will not be made a failure for the second time."

Jasmines voice also raised into a demanding one.

"I will not leave you here alone big brother. If you want to make me do something that's against my own will, you will have to force me to listen to your commands."

Sin and Jasmine stared daggers at each other for a long time. Sin however, was the first to soften up.

"Do what you will, just know that your life is the most important. Do not risk it in any scenario."

Jasmine nodded "I don't need you to tell me big brother, I have learned how to live alone along time ago."

Alannah was first to say in a disapproving tone.

"Papa you promised to take me out to play after supper!"

Sin smiled ruffling Alannahas hair. "Mmh if you can catch papa, you can stay up after your bed time and watch stars tonight."

Alannahs eyes widened. "Do you really mean that?"

Sin asked her back "Has your papa ever lied to you?"

Alannah grabbed her plate and heaved it up sideways dropping all the food into her mouth

"Let's go play!" Alannah cheered happily as she swaggered out of the dining hall.

Sin and everyone had followed suit eating the rest of their meals before following the leader.

Sin and Alannah had played a game of tag for many hours on end. Both of them had entered into Mystic Unity, as a onlooker all Jasmine could see was the blur of burning white-blue aura chasing and evading each other.

After the chase was over and Alannah was briefly rubbing her eyes. Sin began digging a hole in the earth, he removed all the sand, earth and grass from the surrounding area. After that he placed down a couple cement blocks, and then began stacking bricks on top of each other in the shape of an igloo.

Sin left some room open, he put a bundle of sticks into the middle lighting them on fire. After that he took out a bag of milk chocolate pieces, graham crackers and marshmallows.

Sin Alannah and Jasmine shared a time of bliss with each other. They were one family sitting together, blanketed by the vast sky above them.

Alannah enjoyed her snack, after watching the stars for a long time, she had cuddled her way into Sins embrace. Alannah soon fell a sleep on Sins right aide, her wings wrapped around Sins neck, as her arms made a pillow beneath her. Sin took out a long blanket from his Dimension Bag and wrapped it around himself and Jasmine.

Jasmine laid her head on Sins left shoulder.

"For 10 years they had me in a test tube. Every day they would apply a spiritual pressure strong enough to destroy my spirit. If it wasn't for me continuously improving, I would become like those mindless people floating in tubes still. There were hundreds and thousands of other children there. We were taught how to kill, and our reward was a meal. We either died at the hands of other children, or from starvation.

"Everyday when I thought I was going to succumb. I would see images of you on a battlefield. You were wounded and nearly dying, I don't know how, but every time I would always find my resolution. Whenever I close my eyes, I see the looks of release on their faces. Some had asked me to live on for them, others had wished me to die a crueler death. I didn't want to take their lives, but I had no choice. It was either them who died, or I died."

Sin sighed, both of them had gone through different levels of hell, all with the same devils.

"That my little sister, is why our lives are so precious now." Sin contained his killing intent to the most he could, and activated his Bloody Battlefield Totem. Jasmine stared at the mountains of corpses, the wailing of vengeful souls. There were children, women, elderly, men, of all different kinds of ethnicity.

"This world is a cruel one, only the strong survive. We do not have the right to die, nor do we have the right to have the luxuries we do. All of what we have today, is built upon the corpses of many others. That's what evolution is, to evolve our instincts take over. Whether it be through hook or crook, or it could be as simple dropping a nuclear bomb wiping out millions without hesitation."

"There are no saints in this world, every single being has a free will in these vast galaxies. We can only struggle, and provide for those that we have the power to. Spread ourselves too thin, and dynasties fall."

Jasmine hugged tighter into Sins embrace.

"Do you think one day we will become mindless killing machines."

Sin answered resolutely. "No we will not. While we have taken lives, who hasn't in some shape or form?"

"Do you think I will be a burden on you? If one day I become one, will you abandon me?"

Sin ruffled Jasmines hair affectionately. "Stop worrying about something that will never happen. You're family, just as the Wolf God Clan is to me, same as mom and dad, the Phoenix Heart Clan and Vermilion Bird Clan.

Jasmine asked something she had been wandering about for the entire day. "I haven't been able to meet your wife yet?"

Sins mood dampened a little, but he didn't let it bother him. "Merala is in a place becoming stronger. She is also a very good women, you would get along well with her. When she comes back, you will be able to meet my other daughter Samara. Long story short, she was the Guardian Beast of the Wolf God Clan. After the previous Wolf King Sirius had passed away, her connection was cut and she went through a process of rebirth. Thus, she became my daughter after I was the first person, or thing she saw."

"And your child?"

Sin smiled "Well that's a particularly long story. It doesn't matter how it came about, Alannah is my little princess, just as you're my little sister. Those facts are irrefutable, I will never let any harm befall my girls."

"Well it's getting late, as much as I'd like to stay out here longer, let's go back for the night, we can always come back again."

Sin slowly got up so as not to wake Alannah. After that Sin took Jasmines hand, focusing in on the aura of the Vermilion Bird Clan. Sin vanished and re appeared moments later in his compound. Alannah was jolted awake from the massive speed, she yawned tiredly and looked around groggily.

"Papa..... I want to sleep with big sister.'

Jasmine opened her arms and said. "Come here Alannah, big sister will keep you warm."

Alannah let go of Sin and flapped her way over into Jasmines embrace. Seeing the big melons, Alannah plastered her head onto them and rolled her face around."

Jasmines face went beet red, Sin laughed heartily seeing this scene. He muttered underneath his breath. "That's my girl" Which was at the wrong time, because Jasmine was visibly angered at his comment.

"So papa's been teaching little Alannah bad things has he?"

Alannah who was a mischievous little girl started playing along.

"That's right, papa once said if the carpet doesn't match the drapes it's a mood killer."

Jasmines eyes went wide, and her mouth was hung open in utter shock. She looked at Sin in pure and utter disbelief. Then she hurled all sorts of vulgarities, and formed multiple hands out of Mana slapping Sin ruthlessly over and over.

Sin who was bearing this, knew it was time to run.

"Well would you look at the time, I best be going!"

Sin however, was angrily grumbling. When he looked back, he happened to catch a glimpse of Alannahs crooked smile as she stuck her tongue out at Sin while waving her hand. The look on her face said it all. 'I just got papa in trouble with big sister!'
