Eira was buzzing with both excitement and fear. She was so happy to be able to introduce mother to everyone, she knew most would be more then pleased to meet her, but feared what the others would say about her running away, even with the happiness it has brought them. But this wasn't about her, this was for mother, and Eira was quite happy dragging her along back to camp with the others, Draiko slowly walking behind and Void just has happy up front, she was glad her brothers didn't hate her for running, though she did feel guilty about not telling them, especially Draiko. But it was all good now. "Oh mother, your going to love everyone. Comet, Luna and Cory are the sweetest, even if Cory is a little weird at times, and Luna cant control her powers too well so wont be able to see you, so make sure to talk extra special to her. Mori is amazing with a bow, she's often the one finding the things we eat. Fawns a little on the wild side with how she acts compared to the others, but is so kind and always helpful, just don't be cruel about her antlers, she was born with them, but they are kind of cute. Yasmin is very motherly, will probably be the first to cry when finding out who you are, finally not having to be strong in that sense. Rebi is quite closed off, but he's still a great big brother, especially to Luna, no one hurts her and gets away with it. Hebi and Meinu, I love them as family, but they can be kind of scary at times, Meinu is often mean to us, me especially for being curious and getting in trouble. Hebi is lovely, but he always seem to be hiding something that makes me wonder about him. But don't think differently of them just because of that, I'm sure they will all be happy to meet you." Eira barely breathed explaining things, far too excited as they got to the village, she wanted Mother to be prepared for meeting everyone, and have some knowledge on what they are like. Giving a huge smile to mother as they entered the village ground, Eira ran towards the main area where they all hung out, tackling Cory into a hug, seeing as he was the first one she saw. "EIRA YOUR HOME! IS VOID, DRAIKO AND COMET WITH YOU? AND MEINU?" Cory's eyes lit up at seeing his sister, even if Eira's eyes widened at the thought of the others missing, looking back to Void, Eira gave him a look, knowing he must have heard too.

Void never had to worry about bringing anyone new into the village. He was struck with concern that mother wouldn't think it was good enough, or the thatched roofs were tacky, or the sun was too hot and there weren't enough rooms for the kids. He'd never been so self-conscious about the living space he'd lovingly found for the group. But Void tried not to worry, he said his mother was perfect, and he had no doubts that she would be about this place. Void skipped on ahead, hoping to catch anyone and warn them before hand about the new, if a little similar, face. He chuckled as Eira explained all the siblings to mother, it made Void feel a little proud himself. As odd a bunch as they were, to the eldest, they were great, and Void loved them all, to an almost painful level. the grey thing lifted its head from Void's shoulder, beginning to purr a little as it's eyes looked up. Void followed, grinning up to Mori. She sat in a tree, gazing down at them, bow ready but not aimed, simply watching carefully. "Moriiiii we're back! And alive!" Void called up. Mori glanced to him, before her grumpy façade gave in, and the girl chuckled, jumping gracefully from the tree, putting her bow away as she did. "Welcome back Void, glad to see you're all safe... But who is this?" Mori replied, looking to Chester with a curious frown. "Breaking your own rule about bringing in strangers, Void?" Void glanced back and forth, before wafting a hand in front of Mori. "No no no! Mori, this is our mother." Void explained quickly. Mori's frown straightened, scoffing once, perhaps surprised to hear an answer she'd never predict. "I... I see. I can see why that would make sense too." Mori stated, looking from their mother to Eira, giving the latter a quick, stern look, before softening into a relieved smile. The pink-haired girl walked a little closer to their mother, trying her hardest to keep up her proud aura. "It's good to finally meet you, mother." Mori said, standing there awkwardly, unable to really process how exactly to otherwise greet their mother. Mori cleared her throat, looking to Void as Cory spoke. Void heard the disappearance of someone else, and looked a little pale about Meinu of all people leaving. "I saw her go, she was into the distance before I could stop her. I'd recommend not going to find her, Meinu will return on her own." Mori stated, before lifting a brow. "By the way, where is Comet?" Mori asked, looking around members of the group, eyes glaring as they stopped on Draiko.

Eira moved a little behind mother when she heard Mori, knowing she wouldn't be pleased with her, but was soon to stand her ground and walk timidly over to her sister for a hug, after she had spoken to mother of course. "I'm sorry Mori, I didn't want to leave everyone, I just wanted to know more, see more. I never liked the idea of being stuck here forever, and I would have been if I didn't take action when I had the courage to." Eira hoped she would understand, but didn't really count on it too much compared to how long they have been trying to put her off it. Eira wasn't surprised about Meinu walking off the first chance she got, but the disappearance of Comet had Eira in panic. Turing to Draiko, knowing that Comet was often following him, like this time around, Eira was eerily calm as she spoke to him. "Draiko... Where's Comet?" At receiving no answer, Eira took a few short steps to her twin before pushing him in anger, knowing. "YOU LOST HIM DIDNT YOU? AGAIN? GOD HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPID? COMETS PROBABLY ALONE OUT THERE COLD AND SCARED BECAUSE YOU FORGOT HE WAS FOLLOWING YOU AGAIN. DAMMIT DRAIKO." Eira reeled back clutching her hair and coming up with a plan. "I'll go look for him, he's probably somewhere in Minato, assuming he managed to follow you that far, I cant believe you Draiko." Eira tried to calm herself down, but it was futile, knowing that Comet was out there alone. "I swear if our little brother is hurt Draiko..."

It was dark, and Akvan could feel the weight of Comet's head slowly press onto his own, as the little boy drifted in and out of wanting to sleep. Akvan was discovering how he wouldn't feel tired, however, could also feel a strain to his body, like being out of the ring for so long began to take effect on the Sun child, to a point where it felt like he was forcing himself away from being sucked into it, and any relaxation in Akvan's concentration would have him disappear into the crystal. And he certainly wasn't going to do that right now, Comet needed him awake. The poor boy had enough of a rough day, Akvan just hoped things in this village would be calm, though seeing as they were all seeing their mother for the first time, Akvan doubted it. In the moonlight Akvan followed the path that Chester had taken, basically walking in her memory, making sure he didn't get lost. Akvan relied on his own vision when he saw lights ahead, and a little yawn above his head, "It's o-o-over there, father." Comet mumbled, rubbing his eyes a little and pointing with his hand towards the cluster of lights. Akvan smiled, "Nice little place, d-do you all live there?" Akvan asked, stopping to look over the small village a little before continuing to walk. "Y-yeah, Void f-f-found it for us, b-before I was b-born, he fixed i-it and made s-s-sure it was safe for us." Comet replied, keeping sleep at bay by talking. Akvan smiled, "Sounds like a nice b-big brother." He commented, Comet hummed in agreement, before both went silent, hearing the echoing voices up ahead. Some sort of commotion was going down, and one girl, Eira, was yelling loud enough for the pair to hear. Akvan chuckled, "D-do you get lost often then?" He asked. Comet giggled a little, leaning his head onto his fathers. "Y-y-yeah, D-draiko wanders o-o-off a lot, a-a-and forgets I'm f-f-following." Comet admitted. Akvan picked up the pace, "B-better get t-to them before she fights Draiko then, y-yeah?" Akvan asked, Comet giggling again. Walking faster towards the group, unable to wave his one arm, as it was keeping hold of Comet, Akvan could only use his voice. "Your b-brother is safe." He stated over to them, slowing his pace as he reached the group, glancing to Chester, then amongst the children that were slowly gathering. Comet began waving his little arms, tears in his eyes, "Eira! Y-y-your s-s-safe! D-draiko a-and I w-were really really w-worried!" Comet called down, tears of relief in his eyes that both his sister was fine, and he himself was back in the village and safe.

Post by Chester on Apr 6, 2016 20:59:05 GMT
It was all overwhelming, knowing your about to meet your kids, and while Chester wasn't showing on the outside, she was terrified to meet them all at once, knowing little about them and yet feeling as if she knew them all already. The first was Mori, and Chester was a little glad on the inside that one of her children picked up a bow and arrows to use, it had always been her favourite thing to do, hunt with one, and she was happy that a child of hers shared the same passion, even if it wasn't as much. Giving a small smile to Mori, Chester held her arms open with a sheepish look in offer for a hug not wanting to force one on her. "Pleasure to meet you as well... I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier, if I had known you were all alive...." Chester knew she would be saying that a lot, never able to say it enough, but she hoped they would understand. Giving a small look to the others, Chester felt tears come to her eyes knowing this was her children, but panic set in when she heard a couple were missing, though Comet, seemed to be more worried about. Placing a comforting hand on Eira's shoulder, Chester gave a small smile. "We'll find him..." Chester wanted to break down the second she realised Akvan couldn't even look at her when he arrived, though she was glad he was here, and with who it seemed to be, Comet in tow that precise moment, Chester wasn't sure how well things would have gone down otherwise, but here Akvan was. Giving her husband, if he still was allowing that -another reason she wanted to cry right now- a smile, if only for looks to the kids for now, not to ruin the moment. "Hi, Akvan." Chester didn't dare say more, worried of what he may or may not say, instead she knelt down in front of Comet and slowly brought a hand to his cheek. "Comet right? I'm Chester, your mother... We were just about to send out a search party for you." Chester didn't want to overwhelm the dear one, nor did she really know what to say, it was a bit much for even her at this moment, so many conflicting feelings.

"D-down we go." Akvan said to Comet, kneeling down for the excited boy to jump off his shoulders, little legs hitting the ground as Comet's tears were replaced with chuckled, happy to see everyone. Akvan got to his feet, giving Chester a glance, before looking around at all the children. They all had a bit of him in them, as well as their mother, Akvan could cry just looking at them all. But he didn't want to seem weak right now. They seemed distracted right now about Comet being safe, Void giving the little guy a hug, before backing away to let others greet him. Some children looked to Akvan, and although he wasn't paying attention, he could feel their uneasy gazes burning into him. He needed to remind himself that to other Sun children, Akvan appeared as nothing but a hollow body, a ghost, soulless. Akvan wondered if it would present any problems, before hearing Chester say something to him. Akvan moved to look to her, yet again with a neutral expression, before glancing sideways at those still watching them. Suddenly, Akvan put on a smile, "H-hey, Chester." He replied simply, hoping the smile didn't seem too forced. He put a hand into his pocket, drawing up the ring, "You d-dropped this." He said, holding the ring over to her.
Once Chester went to meet Comet, Akvan dropped the smile, looking to some of the others now. Comet was meanwhile sniffling again, as Chester introduced herself. "F-f-f-father found me d-d-don't worry... Are, a-are you r-really my m-mother? We d-d-didn't think we had one, but... y-y-you look like a really n-nice one." Comet started blubbering, more nervous around his mother, for some reason, perhaps assuming he needed to act smarter around her than Akvan. It made the father chuckle a little, smiling down to the little boy, before up to someone in particular. Draiko, if Chester's memories were correction. Akvan's expression went stern. "You must be Draiko? I-if I'm c-correct, you were the one t-to abandon Comet?" Akvan asked. Draiko glared, before huffing, glancing away. "I'm sorry, w-was that an apology? B-because your little b-brother could have d-died out there. Would y-you be s-saying sorry if thanks to you, Comet w-was lost forever?" Akvan asked, not holding back against Draiko, he knew how to deal with this kind of stubborn attitude, and it didn't matter if this was their first time meeting, Akvan wasn't stopping himself. Draiko finally looked to him, but with a glare. "I don't have to take that from you, ghost." Draiko replied. Akvan's glare softened for a moment, eyes dropping to the ground. He let the pain pass, knowing Draiko wasn't wrong, and lifted his eyes back up, even more determined. "W-well, like it or not, this ghost is your f-father, young man."

The second Comet came into view Eira was off at a speed she didn't even know she had to hug him to death, not wanting to give him up to Void just yet. Kissing the top of her little brothers head over and over, Eira began to cry. "So glad your safe little brother, you know not to follow Draiko too far as he's forgetful about you. The idiot." Giving him one last squeeze, Eira let him go, knowing he was back safe before giving a look to the man, she knew this was father, but something was wrong, no soul? It was nothing but a ghost, it scared her a little, but from mothers soft words, Eira knew it was nothing to worry about. More so the tension in the air she didn't miss between mother and father, something off from what she expected. But Eira wouldn't say anything just yet, but analyse what she could see for later. Looking to Draiko as father spoke, Eira was filled with both agreement and hate to father was speaking like that to him first thing. He didn't know Draiko like she did, and she knew that the second everyone left, Draiko would be apologising to Comet more so then ever for this little screw up, she knew he never meant it, and father had to right to say such things. "Father, I know what Draiko did was wrong, and your anger is much understood, but we have dealt with this before, and we shall do so again, my twin does care, he just cant show it so well." Taking a few steps over to her father, Eira now gave a smile, the worst out the way. "I'm Eira... Its a pleasure." Eira wanted to hug him, but was afraid father wouldn't except it, though she made it clear she wanted one before she turned on Draiko. "And you, you better make it up to Comet for this, and to everyone else for making us worry about him like that... And soul or no soul, this is still our father and we shall love him just as we do mother. Right?" Eira needed to step up, seeing how she caused this, she just hoped that Void agreed with the things she said.

Void was a puddle of relief at seeing Comet come back. The man carrying him looked like something from a nightmare for a moment, at first glance. All Void could see was a dark cloaked figure, starred up face, missing an eye and an arm. And the soul, there was nothing there, Void could read anything from looking at one's soul, and yet this man had nothing. All the suspicion made Void ready to attack, until seeing Comet so happy, and as soon as Void saw the little guy's smile, his nerves melted away, jumping in after Eira to cuddle Comet. "I'm so glad your safe! You're all in trouble for running off but I don't care! You're alive, little Flying Comet, that makes me happy." Void said, hearing Comet chuckle at his nickname. Giving him one more squeeze, Void got to his feet, listening to the new commotion, watching Draiko react to Comet's saviour's stern words. In Void's opinion, the man was just telling Draiko what the older brother wanted to say, it was when he announced he was their father that Void really paid attention. Eira introduced herself, shyly offering their father a hug, which was accepted. And as soon as they'd had their moment, Void dashed forward, giving their father a hug the moment he'd moved from Eira. "Darn right it doesn't matter! Sure he might look pretty scary, but Draikoooo this is our father! Be nice!" Void called over, giving Draiko a glare. He was still latched on to their poor, confused father, as Void realised it and chuckled. "I'm Void by the way, eldest brother." He introduced, planning on letting go. But the hug was finally returned, keeping Void in place. "I know you a-are Void. Thank y-you so much for k-keeping them all safe. You've d-done well." Father replied quietly. The surprise left Void's eyes as they relaxed, trying not to tear up. "It... It was.. Thanks, father." He mumbled back, being let go after that. Draiko had muttered to himself through all of this, glancing to Void when the eldest looked his way. With a huff, Draiko seemed to get uncomfortable from all the blame, finally looking to his twin. "Fine." Draiko sighed, planning to leave it at that, the boy of few words, as he turned towards his house. There was a glare from their father set into Draiko's back, but Void was just glad things were over without too much conflict. Void sighed loudly, "He didn't try to kill you," Void stated to their father, "That's the main thing."
