Re:Zero Rise of The Demon Lords

A Mothers Embrace

Inside of Kajah's grandmother's house they all relax and chat.
Kajah: Soo everyone this is my grandmother Lunanie. Grandmother this is Subaru,Emilia,and Rem my new friends I met the other day.
Subaru: hello it's nice to meet you Mrs. Lunanie
Emilia: I'm glad we could meet Mrs. Lunanie hello.
Rem: It's an honor to meet you miss.
Lunanie: ehhhh just Lunanie is ok.
Subaru and the others nod their head in agreement.
Subaru: soo you're his grandmother? I still can't wrap my head around it.
Lunanie: *smiles at everyone filling the room with a gentle warmth* heheh I get that a lot. However I am his grandmother alright. Though I look nothing like an old lady.
Subaru: (not just that but, you don't even sound old...if anything you and Emilia look like the same age and hight.Its just is insane)
Emilia: so how long have you been living here Lunanie?
Lunanie: let's see...over 30 years? Give or take.
Emilia: oh that's a pretty good amount of time here. The place looks amazing for that long.
Lunanie: Thank you. It's thanks to Kajah and my oldest son keeping it in good condition. I'm thankful for them really.
Kajah: aww grandma thanks
Rem: Kajah how is she going to help Subaru again?
Kajah: OH! I almost forgot that. Thanks Rem.
Lunanie: hm?
Kajah: grandma Subaru here has the same ability that I have. I was wondering if you could help him with his mana flow like how you did for me and my abilities.
Lunanie: oooh really? Well I'm surprised teehee of course I can.
Not many people have that power you know. Well humans anyway.
Lunanie reaches out her arms to Subaru and smiles at him.Come here please.
Subaru: o-ok?
Lunanie takes Subaru and pulls him in really close to her.
Subaru:Ehhhhhh...
Subaru begins to blush and get nervous as she's holding him.
Subaru: (sh-she's so...soft...I can...actually sleep here right now)
Emilia: ehhhhh
Kajah: don't worry Emilia she's just reading Subaru's feelings and trying to focus his mana. This is how she does it cause it relaxes people. You know like a mothers embrace.
Emilia: o-oh I get it.
Subaru is so relaxed he forgets where he is and begins to drift off to sleep. In a very sweet soothing tone Lunanie tells Subaru.
Lunanie: there there you can rest for a little bit here ok.
A light begins to emit from Lunanie as she's doing this and Subaru is not aware of what's going on.
Rem: is...everything ok?
Kajah: yep, she's almost done actually.
Emilia: really?
At that moment the light begins to fade and things go back to normal. Lunanie wakes Subaru back up and looks at him.
Lunanie: All done.
Subaru: eh? Wait...did I fall asleep?
Lunanie: mmhm it was easy. Your heart is really strong and you know who you want to protect. That young girl over there is really lucky.
Lunanie looks at Emilia with a smile and as a response Emilia blushes.
Lunanie: There's something else to but I can't really pin point it. Now then I can help everyone here if they want. I don't mind really.
Emilia: what would you be doing?
Lunanie: I'll be relaxing your mind and body. Everyone needs to relax every once in a while.
Subaru: I must say I was very relaxed. Like all my worries where gone.
Lunanie: come here Emilia.
Emilia goes to Lunanie and is held close just like Subaru.
Lunanie:*giggles* we are the same hight.
Emilia: heheh yah.
And like Subaru Emilia is filled with a sense of ease and comfort to the point where she's asleep.
Lunanie: there's a lot going on with you huh sweetie.
Once again the light is emitting from Lunanie and the room is filled with a warm gentle sensation.
The light fades and Lunanie is finished with Emilia and wakes her up gently as well.
Lunanie: wow I'm amazed. There's a lot going on with you young lady but know that you will be happy with the person that cares for you the most. Lunanie smiles warmly at Emilia when she says this.
Emilia: th-thank you
Kajah: wow lucky you two heh
Lunanie: how about you miss?
Rem was thinking about something else at the time and didn't hear her.
Lunanie: miss?
Subaru: Rem?
Rem: h-huh? O-oh I'm sorry... I ...I must have drifted off...so sorry.
Kajah: (she ok? She's been spacing out a lot.)
Lunanie: come here Rem.
Rem: oh no no I'm ok really.
Subaru: go on Rem I think it will help you relax a bit.
Rem: o-ok
Rem walks over to Lunanie and Lunanie brings Rem in close.
Lunanie: just relax ok.
Lunanie begins and already sense deep pain within Rem.
Lunanie: you poor thing...your suffering...and...your conflicted.
The light begins to appear from her again but is a lot warmer and soothing. A tear begins to fall from her and Rem.
Lunanie: there there it's ok. I'm here for you.
The room is soothed by the light making it hard to see what's going on with Rem and Lunanie. It also temporarily dazed everyone to a calm half sleep state. The light slowly begins to fade as she's almost finished.
Lunanie: you're hurting but at the same time you're not sure of these other feelings. You don't know what to do. I can say this to you Rem. Let your heart choose for you. There is plenty of time for you to pick so let time help you on who your heart chooses ok.
Rem shocked and surprised looks at Lunanie with a looks of relief and gratitude.
Rem: th-thank you...
Lunanie: of course teehee I'm glad to help even if it's a little bit.
Lunanie let's go of Rem and smiles at her.
Kajah: well that was something glad everyone felt relaxed after that cause I sure did.
Subaru: definitely
Emilia: mhm
Rem: yes very.
Kajah: Alright then everyone ready to head back?
Lunanie: so soon? Why not stay and have some tea with me for a little?
Kajah: that sounds great actually sure grandma.
Lunanie: Yay! I'll be right back.
Lunanie goes to make everyone tea.
Subaru: Kajah.
Kajah: yes?
Subaru: How old is your grandmother exactly?
Kajah: oh she's 1,250 years old.
Subaru: WHAT!!
Emilia: are you serious?
Rem: wow
Kajah: yep.
Subaru: she looks nothing like that at all.
Kajah: well she is a high Elf.
Subaru: yah but still...there's not a hint of her age showing anywhere.
Kajah: hahahah you think shes attractive don't you Subaru.
Subaru looking nervous and gets excited.
Subaru: wh-what why...no...I mean yes...wait uhhh
Kajah: hahaha it's ok everyone thinks that about her. She's the best looking grandmother in the world heheh.
Emilia: I must say he's not wrong though.
Rem: mhm
Emilia: she's very kind hearted to.
Subaru: not just that but she's gorgeous to.
Emilia: Suuubaaaarrrruuuuu....
Emilia puckers at Subaru after that comment he said.
Subaru: eh it's a compliment Emilia heheh.
Emilia: hmm well you're not wrong but still.
Kajah: hahahah you two are hilarious.
Subaru and Emilia both look at each other and laugh. Then Lunanie returns with the tea for everyone.
Lunanie: I'm glad everyone is having a good laugh.
Subaru: ah yes we are heh thank you for the great hospitality Lunanie.
Lunanie: oh please it's fine really. Any friends of Kajah is a family member to me
Lunanie says that with a great warm smile.
Rem is still quite after what happened earlier.
Subaru: Rem are you feeling ok?
Rem: o-oh I'm ok really just thinking is all.
Subaru: hmm well ok. (Did something happen?)
Kajah: Oh so
Subaru how do you feel?
Subaru: I feel relaxed actually. Like my body feels at eases and I feel like I can just float.
Kajah: GREAT! Your mana flow seems to be calm and flowing freely.
Emilia: so what does that mean?
Kajah: it means we can do the next part of his training.
Shadow manifest or shamak manifestation for you.
Subaru: Huh?
Kajah: I will help you developed your own version of the Shadow armor.
In your case it will be called Shamak Armor.
Subaru: Shamak...Armor...I like how that sounds.
Lunanie: Oh but Kajah
Kajah: yes?
Lunanie: You do know he won't be able to really use his Shamak Armor like you can right?
Subaru: what?
Kajah: Wait why not?
Lunanie: Because he isn't related to our blood line.
Kajah: Wait that has a roll in it?
Lunanie: yes very much. See your mother had the ability to manipulate her Yin powers in a way never done before. And she got that from me. However she could not make it into armor like her siblings. That armor ability you inherited from your grandfathers side Kajah. You also inherited your mothers ability to manipulate your Yin powers into physical objects.
Emilia: wh-what? I've never herd of this in my life. How is this possible?
Lunanie: see i can manipulate objects but I can't just make them out of nothing. My husband is a user of Yin and can use all traits of it and even surround himself in an armor like aura. When we married our kids could do what we could not. However my daughter. Kajah's mother could not make armor like i said before and, she was a dark elf unlike her siblings. She could however use her Yin powers in ways they could not making her unique. She could make her Yin into literary anything she wanted. Though it was very tiering for her to do.
Subaru: so you're saying Kajah can do the same thing?
Lunanie: not exactly the same but close. For example Crimson was created by Kajah. He also created carriages for me to use. The thing is he has limits on what he can and cannot make. It all depends on what it is and how it's made.
Emilia: oh I see now.
Kajah: but...is there a way for Subaru to learn what I learned?
Lunanie: well...there is one way...but I don't know if I should tell you.
Subaru: why not?
Lunanie: because it will put your health at a great risk Subaru. At the same time it could be successful.
Kajah: well...what is it grandmother?
Lunanie: hmmmm...well if Kajah gave Subaru some of his blood and his body can handle it, Subaru will inherit some of Kajah's abilities. At the same time Subaru's body could reject it and ultimately destroy itself.
Subaru:.....
Emilia: no way...I can't let that happen.
Lunanie: oh of course, but it is the only option. It's up to you two really.
Kajah: I see...then I must refuse as well.
Subaru: but.
Kajah: Subaru I have much respect for you. I can't let anything bad happen to you my friend. We can decide later on this. Maybe you could handle it but, for now let's just focus on what you can do.
Emilia: Agreed.
Subaru:....alright....
Lunanie: what you are capable of though now Subaru is being able to use aura like armor that utilizes the Yin in that way. It will allow you to take less damage and do a lot more damage all the same. You also get 2x the strength and speed than what you have now, so it's not all bad.
Subaru: thanks...that does sound great all the same. (But still...I would like to learn the Shamak Armor that Kajah knows.)
Kajah: well I can teach you that Subaru.
Subaru: *nods in agreement*
Lunanie: by the way Kajah how is little Crimson? Do you mind if I see him? I miss the little guy.
Subaru: (little? She must be joking)
Emilia: (little???)
Rem:Huh?
Kajah: oh sure. Come on out little Crimson.
Subaru: Wait Wait Kajah hes to big to fit in this house.
A small dark mist I formed in front of Kajah.
Subaru: what??
Subaru,Emilia,and Rem are a little confused by what's going on. Then out pops a little cute looking version of crimson that can fit in your hands.
Emilia: Wait...what?!
Subaru: he can do that?!
Rem: your full of surprises huh?
Kajah: ooh that's right I never told you guys about this.
Crimson pup: arf arf!
The crimson pup is excited to see Lunanie and runs over to her licking her face and waging his little tail.
Lunanie: *giggles* crimson come on that tickles hahahahaha.
Subaru: w-wow that's a huge difference from what we remember seeing.
Kajah: yah the kids love playing with little Crimson.
Lunanie: oh Kajah that's right. How are they?
Kajah: the kids? Oh they are doing great. You got my note I left for you?
Lunanie: yep. Little Rez was being bad again. *sigh* that boy. Well I'm glad they are doing great.
Kajah: yep. Instead of traveling they wanted to stay with Subaru in his mansion.
Lunanie: oooh a mansion sounds like a nice vacation home.
Emilia: (v-vacation home?)
Subaru: Wait vacation home?
Lunanie: ehhhh don't worry about it.
Subaru: hmmm well ok....(now I'm curious about what she ment by that.)
Little Crimson barks a little at everyone then runs over to Emilia and licks her then Subaru then Rem.
Emilia: *giggles* he sure is happy huh.
Kajah: oh he's gets like this when he's in this form. Plus when he's around people he likes a lot. Trust me he's still dangerous when he's like this.
Subaru:what?
Kajah: yah he has razor sharp fur like blades you know. He likes everyone here so their fluffy and soft to the touch now but, let it be an enemy. Boy he will cut right through them heh.
Subaru went a little pale for a second after hearing that and imagined that happing to him.
Emilia: S-Subaru? You ok?
Subaru: y-yah I'm ok.
Kajah: well I think we should head back now. It was nice visiting you again grandmother.
Subaru: yes thank you again for helping me with my mana.
Emilia: I'm sure we will see each other again Lunanie.
Rem: y-yes it was wonderful to meet you.
Lunanie: oh please I'm happy to meet you all. Oh Kajah Wait a minute.
Kajah: Huh?
Lunanie goes upstairs for a second to give Kajah something.
Lunanie: here you go.
Kajah: Huh? Emma's stuffed animal?
Lunanie: Yes she got it all messed up and dirty so I promised her I'll clean it up and fix it for her.
Kajah: ah I see. Thanks grandmother heehee she will be so happy when i give this to her.
Rem: is that a gift from you Kajah?
Kajah: no it was a gift from her parents.
Rem: o-oh I see.
Subaru: hm?
Emilia: her parents?
Kajah: yah it's a long story. we should be getting back now sooo let get going heh.
Emilia: ok
Kajah: Subaru your have a lot to learn tomorrow so, you better be ready.
Subaru: mhm
Kajah: oh Rem!
Rem: yes?
Kajah: here.
Rem: But isn't this?
Kajah: I think Emma would be really happy and excited if you gave her the stuff animal.
Rem: b-but
Kajah: trust me it's a great idea.
Kajah and the others begin to head on out and crimson fallows them.
Lunanie: do be safe everyone
Lunanie smiles warmly at everyone and waves bye as they get on now the bigger and more menacing Crimson. They all wave bye back as they begin to head back to the mansion.
Lunanie goes back in and is startled by the strange man in the black hood again.
Lunanie: AH! ...jeez Alexander you know you could have said something.
Alexander: s-sorry mother.
Lunanie: Anyway why didn't you tell him who you are?
Alexander: I think it's too soon mother.
Lunanie: Huh? To soon?
Alexander: Yes. don't worry a time will come when I must reveal myself to them. Now is not that time however.
Lunanie: well if you think so.
Alexander: the girl with the blue hair.
Lunanie: Huh? Rem?
Alexander: yes what do you think of her.
Lunanie: well...she's had a lot going on with in her that she must figure out but, I'm sure she will find out what and who she really wants I know she will.
Alexander: was her sorrow that strong?
Lunanie: yes but I helped her out a little bit...I hope.
Alexander: I see.(Rem Huh...I'll keep an eye on you for now.)
