Life As A Divine (A MCD Fan fiction)

Chap. 1 ~ Home

Aboard our large ship, is Aphmau and her two precious babies, Lilith Garnet and Alina. Garroth, of course, as Aphmau's longest guard... And then Me, Anna, my lovely familiar Phoenix and my precious baby Erin, named in honor of my brother, who sacrificed his life for all of us.

The three little girls are dressed in adorable dress, Garroth is wearing a full suit of armor, without a helmet of course. Aphmau is dressed in an adorable pink and purple chest plate, black shorts, black fingerless gloves, boots and a scarab attached to her back, carrying her Demon Broadsword. Her hair, like normal is long and out. Hanging down to her upper back.

My hair, however, has changed drastically. During the past 20 years, I've gone through quite a lot... And now... From repressing everything, it overflows and leaves me in a state of utter misery. The first time it happened, using one of my daggers, I cut all my hair off. Leaving me with an adorable, yet uneven pixie cut that I had to fix... And some amusing memories revealed... All my scars have memories attached to them... And the ones that were previously hidden all remind me Jeffery, so I stuck with the look.

My outfit is a lot less flashing then my two companions, as I'm just wearing a normal white shirt, and a navy green lace up dress, with a slit in the skirt to hide daggers against my leg. Along with a few belts attached to an assortment of items, including my potions bag, my quiver full of many arrows (My quiver of arrows is attached to my side, not my back so my daughters can easily sit on my shoulder and 'jump me' easily, without having to worry about getting hurt), and a coin pouch. My magic staff is usually in the spirit realm with Phoenix, but when we arrive on land, he comes out to play with all the little kids. Ever since my double bladed ruby swallow was lost at see during an attempted raid a few months back. Still mad about that... It was one of the last things I had from my husband. I've not really had a weapon... I've just been using some daggers and if I need a ranged weapon, I'd use them as throwing knifes..

I still wear Aaron's hoodie, just not everyday... But when I do, it's a nice reminder of how it felt to know he was their for me. As for my family's cloak, I no longer wear it, as I'm more of a public figure and it would be weird for me to be travelling with a cloak on with my family's symbol instead of Menphia's one... Which is why I want to give it to Abby for her 25th Birthday next month.

After travelling the realm for a 2 weeks on another one of our adventures, we headed back to Phoenix Drop. After all, it is Alina's 3rd birthday today... We were supposed to arrive yesterday to celebrate Erin's birthday, but we got caught in rough seas and had to extend the trip by a day.

"We're here." I state, docking the boat, with a little one attached to my leg. "Erin, sweetie, can you go down stairs and tell Auntie Aphmau and your cousins that we're here."

"Okay Mommy!" She chimes, running across the dock, headed for Aphmau's quarters. 

"You're really good with kids..." Garroth says, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"And?" I question.

"It's surprising." Garroth states.

I glare at him, slightly confused. "You do remember that I'm a mother of two... And it's been 3 years!"

"Ah! Of course! How could I forget?" Garroth replies.

I stare at Garroth, still a little confused, "... Uh..."

"How is she? Abby, I mean." He asks, trying not to push the wrong buttons.

"Hyria's made contact a few times... Only briefly. But what I know is that she's safe, with Nicole and can't wait to see me."

"You found her?!"

"Yes." I smile.

"Wait... Does she know about Erin? Or even... Aaron for that matter." He says, trying not to pry.
