Bret suddenly felt a murderous glare on him as he looked at Destiny, who was slowly pulling Atolie behind her. The people around him began to back away slowly. He was confused as to why they were acting this way. "What!? Ow!? Rin, why!?"

"Are you really trying to pick up Blake's granddaughter!? She was just born a few days ago!" Rin yelled out, her face filled with disgust. It was a look he had not seen in a long time.

"Huh!? What!? No!" Bret yelled. "I was just saying she looked like an angel! Nothing more!" 

"Pfft!" Tina couldn't hold it in anymore as she burst out laughing. This was followed by Erica and Sam and as well as Blake's other wives. Blake was grinning from ear to ear as he chuckled. It was like a chain reaction as the entire room burst into laughter.

Seeing everyone laughing at him, Bret realized that he was set up! "Blake, you bastard!"

"Hahaha! This is payback for that time you tricked me into eating that fucking spicy burger!" Blake replied with a big smile. 

"You! Fuck! How do you know me so well that you can even predict what I am about to say!?" Bret had been friends with Mike for a long time, but even he could not predict what he would say to this point.

"How can I not know how my best friend would react in a situation like this?" Blake asked. Although watching the broadcast, all laughed at Bret's expense. Of course, as long as their lord found it funny, they would too. This was just how much devotion the people of Destiny city had toward Blake, who had given them a new way of life.

Bret sighed, he had to admit. Blake was indeed his best friend. Mike had always been more of a boss to him and still is.  "Alright, you got me. But really, I am surprised. She is just like all the myths talked about, except her halo is purple." 

"Yeah, I will admit, I had the same reaction when I first saw her." Blake walked down and patted Bret on the shoulder. Rin had a huge smirk on her face as she looked up at Blake. Blake grinned back as he said: "Rin, thanks for playing along."

"Anything within reason to help out the man who has made my Princess so happy," Rin replied as she hooked her arm around Bret's. "Remember, Darling, if you wish to play tricks on people, you should also be ready for tricks to be played on you."

"I know that!" Bret pouted. His own wife was working with the enemy!

Rin giggled as she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek, and whispered into his ear. Whatever she said caused Bret's mood to perk right up, bringing back the smile to his face. Blake just chuckled and patted Bret on the shoulder once more before turning to the front of the room. 

"As my daughter has said, this beautiful young girl is Atolie Harris, Destiny's daughter and my granddaughter. Before you ask who the father is. There is no father. Atolie is a golem who has been given life. She is just as real as you or me. She is what is called an Apostle. Some of you will know this name as it was part of many religions. And were also known as the messengers of god. But do not take the myths as they were. Atolie may look young and innocent, but she is very strong." Blake wanted to make a point that Atolie is cute and young but strong at the same time and should not be taken too lightly. If someone wanted to joke with her and she saw the joke as a hostile action, it might end up causing them harm or even death.

"Atolie is still young and might end up hurting someone if she deems the action you take towards her as hostile. While I will do my best to teach her properly, please do be careful." Destiny added as she led Atolie forward to stand by Blake.  She then bowed her head as she continued: "I hope that although Atolie is artificially created that you will not look down on her and will treat her with the same kindness you have given my sisters and I."

"I also ask this of all of you." Blake also bowed his head. This was followed by Lillia and the rest of his wives as well. The girls had no idea what was going on, so they just followed their mothers' actions and bowed their heads along with them.

"Blake, Destiny, I do not know what you think of us. But we would never show any hatred to anyone in your family. Nor anyone, for that matter, as long as they are not trying to kill us. Whether they are artificially created or not, it does not matter." Bret stepped forward and said. This was followed by similar words from the rest of the people there. Even the people at home watching the event nodded in agreement. Bret chuckled as he shouted: "Don't think so lowly of us in Destiny City!"

"I guess you are right." Blake lifted his head and placed his big palm on top of Destiny's head. "But as a father and a grandfather, I had to make this statement. I know the people in Destiny City are very open minded and would not judge based on race. This is part of what the city was built on. But still, I had to make this statement. I am not trying to say that anyone would do such a thing."

"We understand. I was also just making a statement." Bret smiled. "Today is a day we should be celebrating the birthday of the newest angel to be birthed in Destiny City. Atolie, we welcome you with open arms, Happy Birthday!"

Everyone cheered and clapped at Bret's words signaling the start of the party.  Atolie was led to a large white chair that looked like a throne with how decorated it was. She sat there with Destiny and Blake at her side while the people invited to the event walked up and presented her with birthday gifts. She was startled at first, but soon she was smiling away and showing off the gifts she was getting.

On the Seventh day of June, in the year that would soon be called the year of peace, Destiny City celebrated the birth of Atolie. A few days later, they would celebrate the birth of two more into Blake's family. While the days after were peaceful. Peace was something that would not last long….
