"Mama!"
"Mommy!"
"Mother dearest!"
My three daughters ran towards me, hugging me tightly. My little Scarlet, my beautiful Aarae, and my lovely Valentia.
Their hugs all carried a different strength to them, but they were all so warm and filled with love. All my worries disappeared once I was hugged by them.
"I'm so happy you're alright." I smiled, kissing their foreheads. "You fought so bravely, and did your best! Thank you for helping me out."
"No problem mama!" Scarlet wagged her tail happily to be praised. "I missed you a lot too! I wish we could spend some time after you returned..."
"I'm sorry that it has to be this way, we still have a lot to do before we can relax for a bit." I apologized to her. "I'm sorry, really..."
"Y-You don't have to feel bad, mother." Aarae smiled gently. "I know you are working hard to save our comrades and the people of this place too. I'm glad you're okay, we were worried when you just dived into the sea when Oceanus could control all of it..."
"Thank you dear." I smiled, kissing my adorable girl's cheeks again.
"Yeah, Scarlet, don't be so spoiled! We've spent a lot of times chilling with mom! It's time for all of us to work together and help her, right?" Valentia smiled at Scarlet.
"I-I guess... Sowy, I was selfish." Scarlet apologized.
"T-There's nothing to apologize for, hehe." I quickly grabbed her and carried her in my arms. "I understand how you feel! Once mommy defeats all the baddies, let's go out camping somewhere, not just the Divine Realm this time!"
"Oooh! Another world? Peaceful this time?" Scarlet wondered.
"Yep!" I smiled. "It is a promise."
"Oway!" Scarlet got really happy, as she gave me a kiss in my nose. "You better not forget your promise then, mama!"
"I would never!" I smiled.
And as I spoke with my kids, I noticed Gaby walking to my side, alongside Faylen, Yggdrantia, and Ervin, who remained a bit far away.
"Looks like you won, honey." Gaby walked to my side, quickly giving me a lovely kiss in my lips. "Well done, was that bastard tasty?"
"A bit!" I giggled. "Though, that's not what's important right now. Are you feeling alright? No injuries or something?"
"I'm fine, Yggdrantia took care of any injuries we had, don't worry about it." Gaby smiled. "Aarae was really tired because she's pregnant, but now she's fine after drinking that girl's sap."
"Oh right, you ARE pregnant!" I said, quickly moving to her belly. "Oh my, it is already this big?! I shouldn't have called you to help..."n-)O-)v-.e)-l(.B.-I(-n
"Don't say that mom, I remember you fought even when pregnant, mama did too!" Aarae said. "I'm fine! I'll become a strong mommy for this baby. Ervin, come here too, stop being so shy!"
"R-Right, but I'm always overly worried myself." I sighed. "Oh, Ervin, right?"
"Y-Yes, Lady Kireina." Ervin nodded, bowing his head to me.
"Hahah! Come on now, we're family. No need for formalities. Just call me mother-in-law or ma'am if you like." I smiled, patting his shoulders.
"R-Right... Thank you." Ervin bowed his head again. "I-I'll try to keep growing stronger to protect Aarae... It has been a while since you meet our tribe back in Lord Morpheus Dungeon... A lot has happened since then, but I have never stopped growing stronger."
"I know, and I recognized your strength, I'm glad that trident I made for you is working properly." I nodded. "Make sure to protect my treasure, alright?"
"Aarae is your treasure?" Ervin opened his eyes wide. "I see... Of course I will." He smiled sincerely.
"Mommy, am I your treasure too?" Yggdrantia interrupted the conversation, sitting over my shoulders.
"Yggdrantia, don't interrupted your mother when she's busy talking with other people..." Faylen grabbed her and pulled her down from my shoulders.
"Hahaha, it's fine, you're also my treasure, of course." I felt healed by being surrounded by everyone. "Well done as well, Faylen, Yggdrantia!" I hugged them both, and kissed Faylen's lips.
"I-It's nothing..." Faylen blushed and acted a bit shy.
"Mama, gimme another kiss in the forehead!" Yggdrantia loved attention.
"Come on, don't be try to get mom for yourself now...!" Valentia said. "We got to share her!"
"Hahaha, I wish we could just sit down and relax for a bit..." I sighed, as I saw everyone interacting.
"But I suppose we got no time."
Poseidon walked to my side from behind.
"Is Oceanus really dead now?" He wondered. "You... you truly defeated him?"
"I found where he was hiding his soul and destroyed it and ate him." I answered plainly. "The Ocean Tear is now part of Aquamarine." I showed him my necklace.
"S-So you're keeping it for yourself..." Poseidon sighed, he really wanted them to control Atlantis much better.
"Of course! Finder keepers, man!" I laughed. "However, I can at least give you this. [Primordial Ocean Queen's Blessing]"
FLAAASH!
"Huh?!"
Suddenly, Poseidon gained a crown made of Primordial Ocean Essence, and his powers increased tremendously out of nowhere.
"W-What is this?!" The old man asked. "Kireina, this power...!"
"It is what I got from Oceanus; I can bless those with a strong affinity with the Sea Element." I smiled. "Everyone here is getting one, it'll give you the effects of one of my newest skills, although at only half their original power, but that should be enough for what we need to do soon."
FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAASH!
The Blessing was quickly conjured over everyone that was compatible. It only worked in those I made a strong connection and that were compatible, so only my family members and Poseidon were compatible.
I guess Poseidon is like a friend now. I suppose that's why it worked on him, but his Gods weren't, so it didn't work at all for them. Nonetheless, all of the Shark Family was boosted!
"I gained a crown too!" Said Valentia.
"Me too?!" Scarlet had gained the Sea Element recently.
"And me!" Aarae said happily.
"E-Even me?! Thank you so much for your blessings, mother-in-law-sama!" Ervin bowed his head respectfully.
"Alright, so this is the power you gained from Oceanus!" Gaby smiled. "I like it! Now, where to, my queen?"
"We don't have much time, we have to go to the intersection between both Oceans!"
There were still many things we had left to do, this whole war had yet to end!
