There is no place like home. Cliché I know, but oh so true.

After we teleported through from the muggy daunting Shadow Realm, finally smelling the clean crisp atmospheric air in our own Realm is truly tantalizingly. The aroma of freshly clean cut grass along with the fragrance of blooming flowers wisp around me and throughout the Realm. Fucking beautiful!

Home is here the heart is, yet another sappy cliché that I can purposefully stand behind. Although these days my heart is also happily encumbered with Starla.

I have been slightly on edge about her meeting our family, though it's only with two members of my family that I'm actually dreading for her to finally meet.

One being Nelly, the formidable Princess, with a grand chip on her damn shoulder. The other being one that me and Niko has endlessly argued over every since we have met Starla.

That one is going to be a massive bombshell that I seriously don't think Starla is going to take too well.

He should have told her when we first met her, that's for damn sure, but no amount of me disagreeing with him could change Nikos mind about it unfortunately.

What's the old saying? 'You reap what you sow?' Well Niko definitely fits in that category and we are all about to see the disastrous repercussions from keeping a secret from the person you suppose to love.

I just hope I don't get mixed up in this messy situation but undoubtedly I just I know I will. I regret keeping it from her and I'm pretty damn sure she is going to eventually hate me for it as much as she will hate Niko for it also and I can't stand it.

Guilty by association. Guess I'm going to have to reap what I sow also.

Well here goes everything then. I resign myself to step forward into the castle albeit hesitantly.

Grasping Starla's dainty hand into my own, I give it a tiny squeeze and just hope for the best.

Entering the castle with Starla planted firmly at my side along with Niko and the others behind us. I see my family that's been waiting patiently for arrival, when they finally notice us they turn beaming from ear to ear.

My parents, my sisters, my nephew, and my sisters other half's are all standing in the middle of the living area smiling at our arrival.

My mother rushes forward, still beaming, embracing me and Niko into a enormous hug. She gave both of us a little kiss on our cheeks then turns her attention to the beauty standing beside me.

"Mom, this is Starla." I introduce them gleefully. My mother is such a sweetheart that she embraced Starla into a huge hug immediately.

"So nice to see again you dear." She excitedly tells her.
