''Mother! Father! We are back!'' The two just appeared outside the palace when two pairs rushed out and made major race towards them.
Kendra blinked and saw Great Overlord Fan running together with Lord Cassian while looking at each other impatiently.
Both came at the same time in front of their faces and bounced back as they ere too close and hit at her shield that she had to erect in last moment.
''She is my daughter.''
''No, she is mine!''
Like, two angry children, they looked at each other and then looked at her to make a decision. Isaa just rolled her eyes but rose her hands. They were just too childish for her taste. But what happened next was even cringier.
''Kendra, you love me more right!'' Actually, the sentence was said at the same time by both people and she just shook her head and looked at Xara and Mela walking slowly with smiles and tacit understanding.
''I fear we have a major problem here. Can one of you help me?'' But she saw them both rubbing their heads.
''Since we came to these two act like childish death enemies. If its not a food fight, then is mud fight. Who is faster, who is stronger, who is closer to you... Kendra, in this case, we really can't even try to speak.'' Even Xara was shaking her head in disapproval. ''Childish...''
Looking at the two men looked like the strange picture, staring at each other's eyes and making sounds like two bulls that are about to fight, Kendra started laughing. Not one of her tiny laughs.
No, this laugh came down from deep of her heart and rolled right up to her mouth and came out, stunning everyone.
''Father and father. Oh well, You four are my parents. Anyway. No need to be fighting. Father Cassian was on my side when I most needed him and Father Fan is my given father by destiny. Neither one of you loves me less because I am part of the other. Or?''
Even tho Mela gave birth to her but she was still not even her own child as she understood. She is actually a new life form that started existing shortly. But what is her real form, not even she knew?
One family birthed her the other raised her part of her childhood. After having grudges for a few decades it was enough to say that the two of birth parents deserve her love as well. And looking at Xara, she probably had the heart to heart talk about many things they have to do to their next child. Sigh, should she tell them?
''Uhm, mother... father... I think you two had quite a relaxed time here, right?'' She looked exactly at Mela and Fan.
They smiled happily and held their hands with a big smile.
''We have an amazing time here. I know you are not really Grounding Fairy, but you somehow have the power to make worlds like my people. And this world is amazing. We went through a few of those doors you made and it is such an amazing contraption. By the way, how big is this world?''
Kendra looked at Isaa and smiled brightly. ''Not even the two of us know. We let it grow more and more by day.''
She stopped smiling and her mouth popped open. ''What did you just say? It's still expanding? It's impossible!'' She looked around herself and her eyes started blinking. ''No wonder, then no wonder...''
Kendra saw her smiling face and a stone that was on her heart dropped heavily to the floor with a loud thump. ''I feared that this world would self-destruct if it continues expanding. As I do not know how much it can expand, I just let it grow more and more until the end of my spreading power.''
Mela suddenly was excited. ''I have so many questions. So many. If our realms that we make could use a similar method, would you let us?''
''Why do you even ask? Who can make their world a better place should try? I do not hold onto such ideas.'' She just wanted the worlds to be a better and happier place for living creatures that appear there. ''Mother, actually there is something I have to tell both of you...''
''You and Kir are finally getting married?''
''Kir? Who is now Kir?'' A young man suddenly appeared and stared at Kendra with big eyes. ''What about Cethin?''
''You...'' Kendra started laughing and went to hug Marcus under everyone flabbergasted expressions. Not even Isaa was spared.
''I am getting dizzy.'' Lady Xara held her head and Mela supported her.
Lord Cassian and Overlord Fan stared at the beautiful man that nonchalantly hugged Kendra warmly and even pinched her face. ''you became even prettier last few days, you must be happy.''
''Tsk, you even ask. By the way, you must work hard on the protection of this place. Dark ones are on the move...''
She could hear the deep hiss and inhale as she spoke about those creatures. As she turned her head she could see Mela and Fan standing right behind her completely ignoring Marcus.
''What did you just say?''
Their playfulness and childishness was swept away and scary coldness started emanating from their bodies.
''You two... Stop being busybodies. There is enough people taking care about that case. You have other things to worry about.''
The two people stared at each other than at her and then their eyes unconsciously floated towards Marcus.
''Not him! He is someone... sigh, I will explain about him later on. Much later. You two have a bigger problem than my own.'' Then she smiled at Marcus with a meaningful smile. ''Is it your work?''
''Hey... Such things exist on their own. Do not involve me in such things. I am just protector of this realm. They did it alone.'' He stepped back and shook his head and hands as a rejection of such an idea.
She chuckled then turned her head and tried to look and act as solemn as possible. '' You two are in trouble. Serious trouble...''
Two pair of eyes looked at her with worry and were directly hit by her brightest smile.
''Congratulations! You are pregnant!''
