Chapter 10: The Unknown Voice

"Hmm. Hehe. Little Ourana seems so happy. She is talking quite a bit for a wee baby my husband." Panna replied. Destiny and Luna went back to their tent and rested their for the reminder of the night. The changes to the land however stayed the same. Baby Ourana continued to babble on and Fafir placed his sausage like finger into his daughter's hand. The baby girl giggled and started to begin to float off the ground.

Surprise Fafir cautiously placed his free hand under the giggling baby if she lost control. What was weird about this is outside the men,women,blacksmiths and everyone else felt small seismic shockwaves emerge from the ground. Could Ourana and the shockwaves be the root cause. One of the women who were involved in the Pannamyth Squadron whispered the news into her queen's ear.

"Oh? Is that so huh? Well I'm sure Fafir would be very delighted. Oh honeyyyyy!" Panna sang to get the cautious father's attention. Fafir held his daughter with one hand and the other was full with a brown bandana that would match her outfit. "You called my love? I just found out that Ourana can levitate, she's not even a day old and can already do that. Isn't that amazing?" Fafir asked as the baby clapped her little hands with a full smile.

"Aww how precious..she's too cute." The woman servant cooed affectionately. "Anyway my dear. The news from outside and this is a lot so ya may wanna sit down for this." Panna informed. "According to our Pannamyth Squadron solider here the entire land were our campground and future palace will be has changed. The sky also has changed into a red color. Hmm..what's that? Oh! And the dirt changed into like some white snow texture stuff." Panna chuckled. Fafir placed a hand under his chin after he tied the brown bandana on Ourana's head.

"Interesting..I see our daughter is indeed very gifted already. From changing the very land without a single thought to learning how to levitate. Maybe Ourana will be worthy enough to rule one day after all." Fafir chuckled. He looked outside and showed the crimson-haired baby to all of his troops. Each solider bowed and worshipped the small baby. All she could do was look cute and drool.

"Hail to the daughter of Fafir and Panna,may she live forever and guide us to our lord's new era." They said paying their respects. Fafir placed Ourana's feet on the ground he then sat next to the curious baby and told her all of the things that were before her. "Listen my little red cub.

These people,these warriors and warrioresses along with mages are yours to rule,to lead and they will depend on you. You may not understand now what Papa is saying,but one day your intelligence will exceed EVEN how smart you are now." Fafir chuckled. Destiny flew to her father and picked up her baby sister. "Yeahhh NO. They are NOT servants baby sis,THEY are pawns to his game and he's using anyone and everyone as a PUPPET!!" Destiny told the curious baby Ourana. She looked and played with her sister's long white hair and babbled again.

"Silence!! Child. Do not feed your sister with such vain words. If I could understand baby babble I'm sure Ourana is saying she'd be more than HAPPY being worshipped and praised as the goddess she is. Now if your gonna hold her,hold her gently now. Otherwise she may float away." Fafir warned Destiny.

"You never told ME the things I did as a baby. Guess she's the favorite child huh Father?" Destiny sarcastically snapped at her father. "I have no favorites. You also babbled and floated. Your strength wasn't as potent as your sister's but you indeed were very strong. No need to be jealous of Ourana. She is a baby after all." Fafir says as he placed a hand on Destiny's head. The Beast God went further into the camp and was taken to the side to talk with a few scientists that noticed the strange periwinkle blue glow, the environmental changes, the strange shockwaves and Ourana herself. Destiny took this as a opportunity to take the happy gurgling baby with her.

"Brttttrrggghhh" Ourana babbled and spat. Destiny playfully pinched Ourana on the nose and brought her into the tent. Luna just finshed writing in her diary she brought from home. She locked eyes with Ourana and Ourana did so also. Destiny wondered why this was.

"Interesting kid ain't she Luna?" Destiny said placing Ourana on her lap. The baby babbled at Luna more. "Awe she must really like you Luna hehe. See that purple girl baby sis. That's Luna. She's our best friend. No need to be scared okay?" Destiny said assuring Ourana it was okay to play with Luna. Luna chuckled to herself and laid on her tummy. She was inches away from Ourana. A more vibrant blue aura start to form begin the two. Destiny saw it this time and wonder was this the power her baby sister also possess?

"Hehehe. You really are cute. And this hair is so long. Man. Poor Panna. I'm sure your gonna be such a nice kid when ya get older huh Ourana?" Luna mumbled as she softly booped the baby on her little nose. The energy between these two only became more vibrant. Destiny took pictures of Ourana and hated the feeling that her and Luna would have to leave her with her horrendous father. Who knows what he had in store for her.

Just then the baby burped a very powerful burp that caused a minor rumble across the campsite. Fafir immediately recognized it and entered the girl's tent. He saw his daughters and Luna in disguised enjoying themselves. This wasn't the only thing on his mind. According to his talk with the scientist. The strange periwinkle blue glow was due to some strange sort of otherworldly magic. Could it have altered the pregnancy time or did Ourana just will herself into existence. Either way. Fafir figured if he altered his secondborn's age like he did with Destiny then he'd be one step closer to his goal.

"Hmm..deity babies do age rather quickly naturally if left alone. At least three weeks at a time. But for Destiny it took a ritual,perhaps when Ourana looks and acts like a mere eight year old then I will begin to teach her." Fafir pondered. In a mere instant Vixtra who was Luna in disguise exchanged a glance with her most hated enemy. The very evil that not just took her virginity, but part of her own sanity and life. The aura immediately changed from calm and friendly to tense and ferocious. This alarmed baby Ourana right away. The baby floated clumsily over to Luna and grabbed a piece of her hair and gently chewed on it.

"No..not yet." A voice echoed in Luna's head. It immediately calmed her down. She locked eyes with the Beast God once again and balled her fists. Then the voice that spoke to her was loud and clear. "NO!!" Luna snapped out of her trance and looked at Ourana. The baby looked back and smiled.

"It seems that..Ourana here is far smarter than a normal infant and it's not just given the fact she was born from two deities. Luna noted. She began to pack her bags and handed Ourana over to her father. Puzzled by the sudden change in Destiny's friend's mood. Fafir gently carried his child and escorted the two out into the woods alone. Confused Destiny and Luna walked a few miles away from the camp so no one could hear them. "W..what the heck was that all about Luna? Is something wrong?" Destiny asked worried.

"I have a bad feeling Fafir will be using your little sister and taking advantage of her. He may not be doing it now, but I was so angry just by looking into those..Those soulless eyes. I saw all my failures, my shame, my regrets..everything was right there staring back at me. But then. I heard a voice it happened when I held Ourana.

The voices echoed loud and clear telling me NOT to take revenge. At least not yet." Luna finshed as she told Destiny everything. "Hmm..maybe my sister has the gift of telepathy already and she's not even a day old yet. I do get why your worried though. I just hope we don't have to come to a crossroads were the..unimaginable has to happen." Destiny hesitated.

Though it was unavoidable,Fafir more than likely would age Ourana up to a impressionable age and fill her head with lies,deceit and other self-conceidted notions. Now what was important was to get back home,let her mother Nea know of the news and prepare Luna for the end.
