Oneshot | A Father-Daughter Moment

Getting To Know You

By a lake in Fornis, Matthew and the gang are already to get bed, while Glimmer is practicing her fighting style

Rex:There you are

He says as he sits down on a rock behind her

Glimmer:You should get to bed.

Rex:You should too, we got a long day tomorrow

Silence befalls the two, unsure on what to say next

Glimmer:You're... Human, right?

Rex:Yah, why are you askin'

Glimmer:Matthew was talking about that Na'el girl, saying she was his "Sister"? What does that mean?

Rex:I was wondering when you would ask that, okay, a sister is someone born from the same person as you, they can be younger or older or even the same age as you.

Glimmer:Born from the same person... Like the quenn?

Rex:You could say that

Glimmer:Did you... Have any sisters?

Rex:No, I was an only child, I only had Gramps, Auntie Corinne and the other kids in Fonsett growin' up

Glimmer stood confused

Rex:I forgot you don't know who those are, well Auntie was-

Glimmer:No! I mean...

Both are silent once again

Rex:You... Wanna know something?

Glimmer:What?

Rex:You remind of two people I used to know

Glimmer:Really?

Rex:Yep.

He pats the rock next to him and she sits down

Rex:They were my wives

Glimmer:Wives?

Rex:My partners in life

Glimmer:Is it normal to have two?

Rex:No... But we made it work, can't say the same for my pelvis though

Glimmer:What?

Rex:Nothin'... Their names were Pyra and Mythra

Glimmer:Pyra and Mythra? Why are they... Familiar?

Rex:I met Pyra first, she bought me back to life and from then on, we were intertwined. Then, I met Mythra, a more powerful form of Pyra, since Pyra manifested from her

Glimmer:Manifested?

Rex:She was a Blade, and a legendary one at that, they were the Aegis

Glimmer:The... Aegis?

Rex:You know, your core resembles their's

Glimmer:Really?

Rex:Yeah

And once again, they are silent

Rex:We should get some shut eye, it's late

Glimmer:Y-yeah, be right there

The night passed, and it was the afternoon of the new day

Matthew:Gigantic Beat!

With a crash, Matthew destroyed a gigantic Skeeter nest

Nikol:I didn't know skeeter nests could grow that big

Shulk:Me neither, good job on handling those skeeter hordes Rex!

Rex:Ha! They weren't a problem!

Glimmer:Even though you almost died if it wasn't for me?

Rex:I heard that

Glimmer:Hmph

They all get moving after the fight and camp out in a small forest clearing for the night, Rex sits by a tree alone

Glimmer:What happened, Sad sack?

Rex:Oh, it's just you

A familiar silence returns as they look at each other, Glimmer sits down beside Rex

Glimmer:Tell me... More

Rex:About what?

Glimmer:Pyra and Mythra, and I remind you of them

Rex:Really? Sure then... You and Mythra have similar personality's

Glimmer:Seriously? How?

Rex:You two are both hard headed

Glimmer:Hey!

Rex:I ain't done yet, your looks alone remind me of Pyra, that striking red hair really hammers it home

Glimmer sits there silently, slightly dozing off

Rex:I thank everyday you know, for giving a second chance at life and for-

Rex looks down at his arm, Glimmer fell asleep clutching it like a baby

Rex:For giving me you

He kisses her forehead and carries her to camp, the others already asleep, he sets her down in her mat

Glimmer:Hmmph

She refuses to let go of Rex and grumbles

Rex:... Fine, just this once

Rex lays down beside Glimmer and puts a blanket over the two of them, and by the tree were Rex was

Pyra:Don't they look cute together like that?

Mythra:Hmph

Pyra:I know you think the same, Mythra

And slowly the light from their cores slowly shift them back into their blades, emitting a subtle glow, Rex watches from afar

Rex:Thanks you two, I needed this...

He closes his eyes, feeling pure bliss as he drifts off to sleep
