Chapter 12: Fafir's Decision

Not much later after Luna awoke once again. A lot was on her mind. Too much on fact,from Silvia wanting to engage in sexual intercourse with her,people on Neo and those even at home depending on her. The pressure was never higher. In just a long teal tshirt, pink socks and messy hair. Luna walks to the kitchen to fix herself some breakfast. Azou walks in also and hugs her baby sister from behind. "Good morning sister of mine. I overheard somethings last night. What was that all about hmm?"

Azou wondered. Luna didn't answer and just pour some cereal into her bowl. She flipped her messy bangs to the side and softly chuckled. She crossed one leg over the other as she sat on a barstool and slowly ate her cereal. "What exactly did you hear?" Luna asked her older sister.

"Well..ya know Silvia wanted to give you a uh..um..let's just say a happy ending. I also heard that she was willing to take you back after all the crap ya did." Azou responded. "That so?" Luna said as she placed down her spoon into the cereal and locked eyes with her sibling. "Well..uh..did ya do it with her then or what? I'm asking caused you've been kinda crabby as of late." Azou said as she observed her little sister. Luna blushed and clenched her left fist. "What I do is MY business Azou. Please keep your nose out of it!" Luna said sounding very annoyed.

"Pfft..Okay baby sister. What ever you saayyyyy." Azou sanged. She enjoyed teasing Luna even when they were kids. To Azou she just wonder if her baby sister was alright mentally. She watched as Luna finished her breakfast and washed her dish. She walked away and went into a darkened room. There Azou followed and sat in a corner as to not bother her.

"Meditation is very important. Maybe Luna might be handling some pretty heavy stuff. Guess I'll stay here." Azou thought. Not even ten seconds in the dark room was quiet. Azou watched as her younger sister was deeply engrossed in whatever form of meditation she was in,suddenly a beautiful shade of bright blue formed around Luna's body. A vibrant aura softly shook the room. Intrigued by this Azou left the room and went searching for Destiny. Quickly she teleported to the gray girl as she laid on her boyfriend's lap."Yo. Wanna see what Luna is doing? It's pretty cool. Ya gotta see this." Azou said happily.

"Uh..trying to spend time with Na. Azou maybe you should leave her be. Don't ya think?" Destiny asked. "Aww..okie. Guess I'll just see for myself the sheer coolness Luna is just giving away to the world hehe. Your missing outttttt." Azou sanged some more. She floated back to her sister and gently shut the door. The vibrant blue aura surrounding Luna began to grow and contract. "Could this be a new transformation? Doesn't she have like ten million of those already?" Azou thought.

The aura continued to contract and grow. Suddenly it ceased and slowly began to engulf the whole room,covering it in a magnificent blue. Entranced by this,Azou's eyes became fascinated with what she saw. She looked all over until she was caught by her sister. "Ahem..why are you in here now? This is my ME time. Not AZOU time. Now get!! Go on!! Skedaddle!!" Luna said as she shooed Azou out the blue room. "Awww Lunaaaaaa. But I wanna see what else happens. Come on." Azou whined. Luna knelt to the sitting Azou,patted her head,she moved her bangs out the way and kissed her forehead. "Fine Azou. You can watch just please be quiet okay. I'm trying to speak to..Aether." Luna said intriguing her sister's curiousity.

"Wait..isn't Aether..uh..aren't YOU Aether?!" Azou said confusingly. Luna face palmed and laughed. "Ya know for the leader of the Ojoo Race,OUR race to be even more frank; you really are not bright up there huh?" Luna teased. Azou slugged her sister in the arm. "Ow!! I'm telling Momma!" Luna joked as if she were a small child.

"Oh yeah? Well how about some FUZZY TIME!!" Azou exclaimed. Two tentacles covered in purple fur emerged from her back. They wrapped around Luna and tickled her fervently. Luna laughed and laughed until she was on the floor. She was in a laughing fit and hugged her sister. She kissed Azou on the cheek and hugged her tight.

"Baby sister so cute Mmmm. So what's this Aether business? Is she her own being or what?" Azou asked. Luna turned to the source of the blue light. The entirety of the vibrant blue aura zipped from the walls,ceiling and floor. They formed a figure with a womanly shape identical to Luna. The figure spoke and all the room shattered at the sheer might of this incredible figure.

"Veh heke ne tana eh ve neee. Nog kuunah mey bin tra nuuu" The figure said. "I..is that Ancient Neotic? Wow. So I'm curious. Is Aether her own person?" The blue girl asked her sister. Luna shrugged and watched as the creature seemed to make a gesture akin to clearing it's throat. "That's better. Hello..Luna. It's been a while has it not? Oh I also see Azou is here as well. Welcome other half of Lunazou. I have watched your triumphant act is saving your sister from that monster months prior. I have also seen your heroic sacrifice, your death,your resurrection and now it's time for me to see something else. Your rebirth." Aether said as she glided towards Azou.

"Rebirth..what do you mean by that?" Azou asked. Aether looked gently at Luna and began to speak. "You will come day unlock a power so amazing that even the Beyonders themselves will have to acknowledge it. You will also be reborn and a new power of Aether will take place. My reason for manifesting myself like this is because I have sense Fafir's youngest. You have too Luna. My warning. Take charge and prepare. It's only a matter of time if not mere moments when that man will be at his full strength.

"Got it. Don't you worry Aether..uh..me. Me and Azou will do our best and make sure we'll take Fafir and his cronies down. Count on that." Luna said enthusiastically. Aether smiled as she sat in front of Luna. The two locked hands and placed there foreheads on one another. They invited Azou as well and began there meditation.

Back to Neo in Fafir's campsite. Thanks to a soldier reporting to Fafir what she heard about Destiny's conversation with her "friend" Fafir was angered to find out it was Luna in disguise. His intuition was right all along. That primal instinct to see physically and mentally through people seemed to have failed him.

"Hmm..so besides letting that brat and my worst enemy getting through my defenses, I will take a initiative. Destiny had a good idea. SCIENTISTS COME FORTH!!" Fafir roared. The few scientists bowed before their god and groveled before him. The head scientist looked at the deity face to face. Terrified the young man froze in fear. "You will place my darling Ourana within that very same room were she was born. Do not by any means let her out until three days have pass. For you see time dilation is a thing. I may not have the power to control it completely, but Panna does. Let any disobedience be expunged. Am I clear!" Fafir asked the groveling fools.

The same orders were written by a slender young women in a purple robe. She relayed Fafir's order until all the campsite heard. Pannamyth walked out of the large tent and hugged her husband. She noticed he gotten even bigger than before. Veins popped out of his deltoids, pectorals and neck. She kissed him and smiled. "Hail Fafir. The God of Beasts,King of All Wildlife, Lord of Beasts and Warrior of Peace." Pannamyth said getting on her husband's good side. "Hmmph. Hail to Pannamyth. Red headed Queen of All, The Archten Creator, Maiden of War,lastly let's not forget. Bearer of Ourana: Daughter of Peace and War." Fafir complimented his wife. They shared a kiss and looked at the palace being built in the background.

The Pannamyth Squadron guarded baby Ourana furiously. Some soliders sparred and trained. The snow filled ground,blood red sky frightened even the hardest of souls. Fafir felt a little loose and wanted to see just how far his power,training and hardwork has come. The dark-eyed deity stood on a rather high hill and removed his black cloak. The sky began to gradually turn from a red color to pitch black. All the torches and lanterns were the only thing that granted some peace. Fafir hunched his body forward and fell to his knees. He placed his hands on his stomach as if he was in pain.

He wretched forward and jerked his body at a rapid pace. This was until his entire body was deforming and mutating itself at such a scary speed, not even Fafir could hold it. "BOOOOMMMMM!!!!" A mighty sound caused strong shockwaves similar to a mighty earthquake. All those that resided in the camp screamed and yelled in fear. They begged Fafir to cease his strange activity. "RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!" Fafir roared.

The pitch black sky began to fade. It was sucked into Fafir himself. The damage was done. As soon as Fafir finished his..training. A black aura clouded him. It was like that of smoke. His entire being changed. His skin gray as a old rock and cement, his hair white as snow and his eyes were colder than a black hole itself. The Beast God jumped high into the air and crashed down into the ground. He stood at the entrance of the campsite. All bowed in fear including Pannamyth. She cowered at his might. Fafir placed a large veiny hand on her shoulder. She looked at his white beard and wrinkled face. Fafir was already old, but this form made him look even more ancient than before. "Y..you..what did you do to yourself? Your as majestic as a lion." Pannamyth said. Fafir swooped her off her feet and tossed her into the air. With his new speed. Fafir was so fast he already caught her.

"Oh..oh my. Fafir..t..that nearly scared me. Y..you big jerk. I..I.." Fafir kissed his wife on the lips. He swiped his hand and immediately the sky returned to the blood red color it once was. He carried Pannamyth back to the tent. Scared and even terrified still the soilders went back to work fearing for there lives.
