--AN) Sorry, only this one in me for tonight. I will get some good rest and hopefully be back to the 4 chapters a night release.---
With his meeting now coming to an end, Blake left the meeting room with Pue and walked over to where his daughters' rooms were. He thought about the one who would be best for her to stick to, and only Destiny came to mind. She was the oldest of the girls and actually had a very good head on her shoulders.
"Papa!" A young cow girl ran over to him and hugged his leg. Her tail swished back and forth. She looked up at him with a big bright smile. While she had drakani features, she still looked more like Mona than him. "Moli, did you have a good day today?"
"Mmm! Big Sister Destiny taught me how to fight with my new hammer!" Moli tapped her side, and a hammer five times her size appeared and slammed into the ground. She used her little hand and picked it up and waved it around with ease. The thing weighed at least a few tons, but this little girl was easily swinging about like it was nothing.
"That's good. When you are twelve, you and your sisters will be able to go out and explore within the outpost areas. And when you get a bit older, you can finally leave the safe zones. But not until you have been tested by all your mamas." Blake wanted to protect his baby girls, but he also knew he could not trap them in forever. They needed to be able to go out into the world and explore on their own. Of course, they would all have trackers on them and a few other spells to protect them, but they would be able to explore on their own.
"Mmm! I know! We have been learning a lot! Although out of all of us, Big Sister Destiny is the smartest. She began making something in secret! Oops!" Moli covered her mouth with both hands dropping her hammer to the ground! She had accidentally said something she was not supposed to say!
Blake chuckled and rubbed her head. He was not going to say anything he was sure Destiny would share things with him soon. "Alright, go back and play. Next week we will be going out on a family outing past the outposts. I want you girls to see firsthand just what this world looks like."
Blake had planned to take all his daughters on a trip. An actual family trip. Something he never thought would be outright possible in this new world, he still planned on it. Because he knew time was ticking. Before they had to be locked up in the palace when the flames of war broke out he had to at least let them enjoy a bit of fun. A change of scenery.
"Outside with Papa! Yay!" Moli completely forgot all about her slip of tongue and was now bouncing up and down. "Papa, I will go tell my sisters!" And with that, she picked up her hammer and ran off, leaving huge dents in the wall as the hammer on her shoulder swayed back and forth. But luckily, this palace was made to repair itself, so there was no issue.
Pue, who had watched the whole exchange, looked a little downcast as she gripped Blake's shirt. It was as if she was feeling insecure. But when she felt a big hand patting her head, she looked up at Blake and saw him smiling warmly at her. "Pue, you are my daughter now too, so no need to worry."
Pue did not understand what Blake was saying, but by his tone and how he said her name, she sunk back into his embrace, where she felt safe. She was young, but she was not dumb. In fact, she was a bright girl. When her parents pushed her away, she knew she was not wanted. At first, she was scared when she was suddenly brought away to a place full of color and people she did not know, but when she felt how kind this person was to her and was willing to give her warmth she was not used to, she knew he was someone she could trust. But now she had a fear of losing this person who had taken her away. For such a young girl, her thoughts were complicated, but she still felt insecure. She was insecure about whether or not things would last or if this man would push her away too…
Blake had no idea what was going on in Pue's head. He did not know that the young girl he saved was actually so bright she could be a match for Destiny if she was taught things. He just held in his arms and knocked on Destiny's door. "Destiny, can I come in?"
"Papa!?" Destiny's voice came from the other side of the door. Soon the sound of pitter patter was heard as Destiny ran to the door and opened it. Blake chuckled and shook his head. "Please, at least wear a towel. You will get sick like this." Blake sighed as he took a towel out of his space pouch and wrapped it around Destiny. He looked up at the maid, who had come running over as well, and chuckled. "Sorry, I should have known it was around her bath time."
"No, Lord, Young Miss, is just always happy when you stop by. When she grows older, she will start snubbing you, so be prepared." The maid replied while giggling.
"I would never snub Papa!" Destiny pursed her lips as she let the maid dry her hair. Her eyes finally fell on the figure in her Papa's arms. "Papa, who is this?"
"Actually, she is the reason I came here. She is Pue. I saved her from the void I just went into. I was hoping, as her new Big Sister, you could help her out. And help her get used to things, maybe teach her to speak our language if you could. She will have her own room, but when you have time if you could teach her things." Blake just wanted Pue to learn a bit more and slowly get used to life here. His youngest were a bit wild. While Joy was around the same maturity as Destiny, but she was also a drakani as well, and he did not want to trigger her charm at an early age. So only Destiny was the right person to slowly integrate her into the group of sisters.
"Papa, I do not mind at all! Pue is cute! I will raise her well!" Destiny sounded like she was taking on the job of Pue's mama. Both Blake and the maid chuckled as they looked at Destiny's serious expression. Blake whispered into the maid's ear to explain things about Pue's double parts, which the maid nodded and smiled gently as she patted Pue's head. "Lord, do not worry. With Young Miss and myself around, we will not allow anything to happen to Little Pue."
