>>5385849Perhaps it's Chaya, or perhaps it is your instincts looking for threats, but you can't truly relax. And before you've even realized it, a whole week has passed. These seven days passed by peacefully, you enjoying having your entire family all together in one place. Such good times, however, are not to last forever, as you all have to return to your own timeline.
“Leaving already?” Tatsu and Tomi asks simultaneously, both seeming incredibly disappointed. That disappointment is mirrored across all of your children, even with the more stoic young men Maza and Broly. “Why can't we stay?”
“Unfortunately, any longer and you'll begin to 'wear' our timeline on you.” Towa explains, also seeming disappointed but far better at hiding it than the children. “And we can't have the Supreme Kai of Time following that energy signature back to our timeline here, and ruining our second home.”
“Speaking of threats, something tried attacking that barrier I'd put on the Abyssal portal.” Chilli says to Towa and you telepathically. “Whatever it was was repelled, but it actually left a mark on the seal. So I redoubled it, and added a little something extra to it as well. The next thing that tries to come through is in for a nasty surprise.”
“You-You got in there?” Towa asks him, you sensing her incredulity through the three-way mental link. “How? I put enough traps on that to-”
“Crystal magic.” he replies aloud with a smirk and a wink, Towa almost pouting at his ability to one up her in something. “You'll be able to see it on the camera, next time we're here let me know what you think.”
“Oh, I most certainly will.” she replies, with a grin, then [/]thinks[/i:lit] to you, “I wonder where he got this cocky attitude from?”
“Must have been his mother.” you also reply telepathically, Towa chuckling at this as Churai appears at Towa's side. Which brings a good question to mind, as you hadn't seen her around since the first day: where does she spend all day?
“Come back soon Daddy. I'll have all sorts of new and interesting spells to try out.” Milha says, smiling just a bit too widely to be talking about inflicting pain like that.
“Yeah, hopefully Divine Dragon Force will be awake next time. Triumph too.” Koruza says to you and Caulifla, then turns to Okira in your arms. “Keep working on that pronunciation, okay?”
“O-Okay.” your formerly-mute daughter says, Imagine Dragon peeking out between her lips and nodding.
“See you around, Dad.” Maza says, surprising you by saying dad instead of the more honorific father he usually uses. So you reach out, ruffling his hair to his clear embarassment.
“You too kiddo. All of you, take care of each other.” you say to your half-demon children, then turn to Future Chaya standing with Ace, holding his hand. “Especially you two. I'm counting on you both.”
