Dark side (A Ralla fan fiction)

Times change

Azura had finished showing me around Frostbourne. The place has changed so much in the past four years, it's crazy! At some point, we had to check in with Daryll and Patrick, and for a minute, they both thought they were seeing ghosts when they saw me. Both Az and I are still partially laughing.

We both decided to go to her office to ketch up, and were on the way there.

"Hey, that's a cool dagger by the way." I said.

"Oh! Thank you! I managed to get a little of Herobrione's power from a bit of Naeus' bones. Now, this thing can project quite a few volts of electricity. Even for a prototype, it works like a charm!" She said, opening the door to her office.

I was about to say something. When I saw someone sitting on the floor of her office.

There was a little girl sitting there, playing with a stuffed bear. She couldn't have been more then three. She had dark brown hair I think (which was tied into two pigtails), tan skin, and big blue eyes. The young girl was wearing a long sleeved, gray t-shirt, a patched up pink and purple skirt, and an oversized black jacket. She didn't seem to notice neither I nor Azura come in.

I look at her confused, then to Azura, "Why is there a small child here." I asked.

She just laughed and shrugged her shoulder, "You go find out I guess?"

I shrug my shoulders and walked up to her, kneeling down next to her. "Hi there?"

The little girl smiled, "Hello! What your name?" She asked.

Wow, she is very verbal for her age. I thought, "Oh! My name is Stella! May I ask what your name is?" I ask her.

"Mhm! I'm Amelwa!" She said, trying to say her name to the best of her abilities. She holds up her bear, "And this is Mr. Cuddles!"

"Well hello Amelia, Mr. Cuddles. It's nice to meet you two. If it's okay, may I ask where your parents are dear?" I ask.

She paused to think, "Well, last time I saw them, there was these loud noises. Mama told me to stay here and to wait for her and daddy to get back."

I froze, Could she be talking about the sirens? Could her parents be soldiers? The battle ended a while ago, they should be back by now... I thought.

"Have your parents come back yet?" I ask.

She looks worried, however, she looked over and her eyes widened. "MOMMY!" She said, happily getting up and running behind me.

I quickly turn around to see the little girl hugging Azura. It took me a minute, but then I realized a few things. Not only did this child not have brown hair, but instead had a dark olive purple. Not only did she look more and more like my best friend's husband every minute. But my bestie...had a kid... AND I MISSED THIS ULTIMATE SHIP MOMENT!

Azura started laughing looking at me, and turned to her daughter and said, "Hey Amelia, I see you met one of mommy's friends."

"Oh! She that lady you told me about? Right?" She asked her mom.

"Yes dear. Well, mommy hasn't seen her in a long while, do you mind going to daddy's office for a bit. He should be back there by now?" She asked her.

"Oh, okie mommy!" Amelia said and left skipping to Patrick's office.

Meanwhile I was standing there a little dumbfounded, my jaw hanging open and my eyes wide open. Azura laughed a bit,

"So..." She started.

"You... Him...T-That wasn't there before!" I say referring to her daughter. She just laughed.
