Chapter 13: The Return Home

"How are we gonna exactly get to this realm of yours baby?" Silvia asked. She zipped up her bags and finished packing. We both go out for some breakfast and come back with some questions. "Soo what exactly is this realm like baby? Is..uh like all the gods and goddesses there or is it your family?" Silvia wonder. I giggled and opened the door to our dorm room. "Well..I have a really big family and mostly they're all waiting. I do also have to tell you. My friends are residing there as well. Soo thankfully Grandma Elena and Umi live in a massive palace. Plenty of room for everyone until this Fafir shit is over with." I said checking to see if I forgotten anything. I go into the bathroom and grab our shampoo,conditioner and body wash. Before we get going Silvia checks the basement and her old dorm room. She comes back with a big smile and hugs me.

"Ya ready to go? Not gonna lie I'm kinda nervous. I met Momma Skyra..but..your dad is a literal god of death. Heh..hehe eehhh. I hope I can get his blessing he's actually kinda scary." She giggled. I float off my feet and pat her head. Her white hair felt so smooth and luscious. We hike up our bags,suitcases,personal items and head out of Vei Shong Academy. Silvia locks it up tight. We start walking side to side and then hold hands. Unintentionally I started to float off my feet. This startled Siivia. She hates heights with a passion. So I gently descended to the ground and comforted her.

"H..hey it's ok. I'll carry you through the whole way hehe. I know heights freak you out. I love you Silvia." I said kissing her. She smiles and softly caresses my cheek and rubs my head. She removes my head and kisses me on the lips. "Thanks...s..sorry. What about teleporting can't you do that?" She softly asked. I nodded and said nothing. We stood in the woods and gazed at the red sky. After a few seconds we looked at one another and hugged. "Man..Fafir did a number on our world..But I wonder..why? Why is he so mean and evil. Whatever it is the reason behind his actions will cost him soon. Right baby?" Silvia said looking towards me confidently. "Hmm. Only in a matter of time. Right now we better get to that portal. We're just mere minutes away from meeting everyone.

We hold each other close and embrace. Just to make the whole teleporting process much easier. Within twenty seconds we appear in front of a heavily dense forest. We walk for about three minutes and see some sort of rock formation slightly distorting itself. I cautiously approach it. It was sorta an small struggle considering our bags and suitcases weighing us down. "I..is that it? The portal to this realm of your grandma's?" Silvia wonder. I threw a small pebble at the portal just to see for sure. It went through and didn't come back. "Hmm..must be the answer to your question. I do remember Grandma Umi saying an portal would guide us home. Soo..maybe this is it. One way to fine out." I say as I grab our bags and walk through.

"Whoa everything is all blurry and moving so incredibly fast..oh..oh no. It's gonna trigger my motion sickness." Silvia said as we were travelling through the portal. Instantly we're spat out into Grandma Umi's realm. All that surrounded us was a white void. In the distance was a massive white palace. There some figures walked out of the palace. I heard familiar voices. Without a moment of even raising my hand to wave. A grey blur zipped in front of me and tackled me with such force. I wasn't hurt as I was being furiously cuddled by none other than Gala. "MOMMMYYYYY!!! OH GALA MISS YOU OH SO MUCH..GALA MISS YOU MISS YOU MISS YOUUUU!!!." She exclaimed rubbing her cute little face on my belly. I stood back to my feet and the rest of the family welcomed me back with hugs,kisses and headpats. "Ooooh ya little grey bean hehe. I missed you oh so much. Look at you. You grown so much and yet your still shorter than me." I giggled and placed her on my shoulders. Silvia instantly recognized her and Gala waved. She hugged Silvia and affectionately called her Mommy Silvia. As the two hit it off. Momma,Auntie Haze and Great Granny Willow all welcomed me home. The others were preparing party decorations.

"Good to see my baby back home and safe. Your hair is so long..It reminds me of Azou. Oh how she would of hugged you if she could. Seems Gala is getting attached to Silvia huh Grape Baby?" Momma said kissing my cheek. She spoils me because i'm the youngest daughter. Than again both my parents spoil me. Papa arrives shortly after and lo and behold Azou appeared behind him. Momma and Grandma Umi weren't too happy. "Hi honey. Um..I resurrected our firstborn daughter see? Nea said it was ok. Am I in trouble?" Poppa innocently asked. Azou hugged everyone and Gala jumped on her as well. This was probably the best day ever.

"Well Well..Hello beautiful. Welcome back home. Remember me. Ember? Oh and Yunago is here also. She's cleaning the training room. Oh..Who's this chick with the white hair." Ember asked. Silvia just gave in and picked Gala up cuddling her. Each pat I could tell she fell in love. She just couldn't get enough it was precious. Yunago walked out of the side door and rushed to me carrying a small basket of treats. "Welcome back Luna. Hope all has been well..Uh..um..I made you some treats. Oh and I kept Gala company. Believe me this girl is a total handful hehe. Also hello Silvia im.." Before Yunago could utter another word. Silvia folded her arms and interrupted.

"Luna's EX- girlfriend. If im right? Didn't you break up with her just because of long distance?" Silvia said. She wrapped her arms and entire body around me. This made things sorta awkward. Yunago blushed and desperately tried to change the subject but failed. Silvia just gave an menacing glare and did not back down. "Uh..um..Im gonna go..W..welcome back Luna..Y..you too..M..miss Silvia." She said frantically walking away. "Hmm..Don't you think that was too forward babe? I..it's been an long time since than. I'm sure she doesn't want to start a fight." I said. She said nothing instead. Gala showed us a empty bedroom for us to place our stuff. We sat on the massive queen size bed and laid down. Before I could get comfy. Grandma Elena easily maneuver through the small door frame and swipe me up like I was baby. Her tremendous height and muscly figure was warm and inviting as always.

"Mmhehe. Welcome to the Hrotha-Drak Family Silvia. Im sure Skyra would love to have you as a daughter-in-law. Well if you receive her and my son's blessing. Ahem..Luna..We'd all like to see this new Aether form. Can you show us before dinner?" She gently asked. Who was I to deny my dear sweet dragon grandmother. I nodded and just took my shoes off. Silvia followed and sat with the rest of the family outside in front of the main door.

"Ahem..Everyone. As the Goddess of Life, Grandmother of Azou and Luna Hrotha and mother of Zuma and Emma Drak. I believe I have the honor to welcome our dear Luna and her girlfriend Silvia home." Grandma Umi said she called me forward and everyone sat in a massive half circle. They all seemed so eager. Momma hugged Azou and brushed her hair. Everyone else including my Great Granny Willow were eager.

"Well Luna. We all except Silvia here witness your first form. Why not show what else you learn hmmm?" She said sitting in Grandma Elena's lab. I was very nervous. I closed my eyes and seamlessly transformed into my first Aether state. Green skin,lack of mouth...of course and flowing greyish white hair. I heard ooohs and ahhhs. The family seem to enjoy it. Ember had special red sunglasses on and cheer for me to go higher. "I'd happily oblige if you all feel the same?" I asked my famliy. They agreed. I had to concentrate and I transformed even further. My hair grew slightly longer and rose. Judging by everyone's reaction. They cheered and wanted to see the final thing. "Hmm..seems you have perfected these first two forms,but what about the final form. I can blatantly sense it in you. No more stalling." She said happily.

"Ok..well..Here goes nothing. I hope this form doesn't destroy anything." I say out loud but I meant my jeans or my shirt. I closed my eyes and felt an massive surge of energy and power. Large gusts of wind did blow some of my family members back. The form in itself was bright. Once the light faded and the fog cleared. To me I was just back in my plain ol blue form. Everyone else cheered. "Fafir is definitely gonna get his ass rocked. This right here is the key." Momma shouted with joy. Great Granny Willow did call me Aether. "Wonderful. I suppose Nea's Prophecy has come true hehe. Now only an matter of time. As you all know Fafir is wrecking the planet. We need to act as soon as possible. But for now. I say Luna..you should stay here. You've done more than enough. Let's just celebrate the fact your alive and well." Great Granny Willow says. She raised a glass of fruit punch and ordered the festivities to begin.

Everyone went to the dining room or their own bed rooms. Silvia was preoccupied by Gala of course and Azou was playing video games with Ember. All that left was me talking with Yunago who asked to see me alone in her room. "I am so proud of you for progressing so far. I know we didn't always see eye to eye. But..I wanted to let you know..I made an big mistake and realize after we broke up all I had. Silvia wasn't in the wrong. In fact because of that..Im glad I was called out. I missed you buddy." She slowly looked up and smiled. I smiled back and hugged her. "Hehe..well she's protective but not overprotective. At least we can be friends. In fact..Think that's all I need for this..this fight. Heh..it is funny..I've had nightmares about this..I think I actually died. I know it sounds weird but..I hope that dream wasn't predicting anything." I said sorta worry.

Silvia and Gala happened to overhear our conversation and hugged us tight. "Its ok..We got you. We always will hehe. Now come on we got a big dinner to eat and Yunago..Sorry about earlier." Silvia says. We all get into our pjs or comfy clothes and head downstairs getting ready to eat. As we walk down the stairs all the older generation. Seemed to await my response. For what you ask? Not a clue hehe. Grandpa Hrotha did buy me some jello and Grandma Hrotha asked about my leotard. I was hoping only Momma noticed sense being lewd is her thing.

"You kids and your fashion hehe. I remember the days when I was nineteen." She laughed.
