“YES! I'll be right back!” you shout, rushing up to the next floor, to your father's workshop. Quickly going to his wall where he hangs them, carefully taking down the dragon bone sword and his staff, and for just a moment channel your own magic into it to make that super cool crystal blade shoot out. “Hehe. My daddy's back! You'd better be scared, bad guys!”
But then you feel the tower thrum with power once more, your mother drawing upon its strength to augment her Explosion once more. Reminding you how serious things are, and without another second wasted turn and fly back down the stairs, to your parents room and slide to a stop before your father, both weapons in hand as he is finally standing! Despite being shirtless and missing both hat and robe, he still looks powerful. Not like a wizard powerful, but for just a moment, the way he's standing reminds you of Grandpa.
“Here!” you say, holding them out to him. He nods, taking the sword in his right and staff in his left, giving you a small smile. As he holds his weapons he takes a deep breath, one that suddenly makes him seem a lot BIGGER. No longer looking frail or sickly, now your Daddy looks like who he is: the strongest on this planet.
“That's better. Now, let's go see what your mother's blowing up.” he says, turning and walking towards the door.
“Come on, Modoriiromoukin!” you call, your friend flying over and landing on your shoulders. Following your dad, you wonder why he's not running or flying up the stairs, but taking them one at a time. Slowly you both make your way up to the roof, your mother having fired six Explosions now by the time you do, you see she's breathing heavy, using the staff to help keep her standing. “MOM! MOM! LOOK!”
Worriedly, your mother turns, but you see her eyes widen in shock as she sees your father there with you. Tears start forming in her eyes, your mother looking like she's about to cry.
“Hey hun. Sorry I'm late.” Daddy says and your mom breaks down, dropping her staff and going to him, hugging him as she cries. You feel yourself start to cry as you hear this, but after a few moments feel that same evil wash over you once more. Everyone on the roof freezes, you turning to look to your father to see his expression harden. He looks serious, but more than that he looks... Angry. Angrier than you've ever seen him. “Thanks for doing your part, but take a break. I am here now.”
And despite the evil quickly approaching your home, you just <span class="mu-i">know</span> that everything is going to be okay now. Your Daddy's finally awake.
