Ethereal looked around and couldn't recognize anything as he looked out the window.
" What's going on ? " He asked himself as he saw Leo and a child play from where he stood.
" Papa come play " the child said as Leo motioned him to go to them.
Ethereal did just that and the young boy hugged him.
" You took so long to come papa " the boy said to him as he looked at Leo who smiled.
" Now Ethan go play " Leo said to the boy as Ethereal learned his name.
" Who's he ? "
" Our son Ethereal " Leo asked as Ethereal laughed.
" Our what ? "
" Are you okay ? " Leo asks touching his face to see if he has a fever.
" Am okay Leo, we gave ourselves to Kovax so everyone could be safe, this town " Ethereal said to him as Leo smiled.
" That was seven years ago, you stopped Kovax and then we got married and had Ethan " Leo tells as Ethereal looks around and sees it looks real.
" Remember " Leo tells him as Ethereal tries and remembers and it was coming and he could picture everything in his mind.
" Do you ? " Leo whispers in his ear.
" I do " Ethereal says as he smiled seeing Ethan who comes closer.
" Is there a problem papa ? " He asked as Ethereal gets on his knees and looks into his eyes and it was like looking into the universe.
" Everything is okay " Ethereal says to him as Leo looks at them.
" It's perfect " Leo tells them as they both turned looking at him and Leo sees their eyes, identical.
Later that night Ethereal was still in disbelief and had just put his son to bed,
" He is his papa's son " Leo tells Ethereal as Ethereal enters their bedroom.
" I wouldn't accept anything less " Ethereal said to Leo as he went into the bathroom to take a shower, Leo decided to follow him and As Ethereal was taking a shower he saw a figure standing on the other side of the fogy glass door and he opened it and there was Leo fully naked.
" Am really filthy " he says trying to act cute as Ethereal smiled and pushes him in.
" You don't need excuses with me " Ethereal said as Leo looked at him intensely and they kissed passionately in the shower as Leo carried him to the bed.
" We are being loud, Ethan could wake up " Ethereal said to Leo who was on top of him.
" He doesn't mind the noise only if we give him a sibling " Leo whispers to Ethereal as they kiss and you know what happens next.
Over the next few days, Ethereal's happiness grew and everything he wanted, he had and all was well.
" Ethan " Ethereal called out as he was in the backyard looking for him.
" Papa there is a bee hive " Ethan pointed as it was on the ground.
" Get away from there " Ethereal said as he placed Ethan behind him.
" I didn't mean to knock it down from the tree, are they okay ? " He asked with his child sympathy.
" Yeah, Am sure they are okay " He told his son as he went and picked up the beehive to put it back on the tree.
" Be careful papa " Ethan asked as he watched from a distance.
" Don't worry I will be okay " Ethereal said as a bee stung him.
Ethereal whizzed in pain as he held his hand and saw that he was stung and couldn't believe it.
Later that night as Leo arrived to find Ethereal holding his hand.
" What's wrong ? " He asked as Ethereal showed him.
" I was stung by a bee " Ethereal said to him.
" So sorry " Leo said kissing his hand.
" I have never been stung by a bee cause they are genetically engineered to recognize royalty and not to brag am a prince " Ethereal said as he looked around.
" Don't mind it, you have it all and this is your ultimate fantasy of the childhood you didn't have, don't spoil it for Ethan and us give in and let it down " Leo said to him.
" Let down what ? " Ethereal asked,
" The shield you have up, protecting yourself. Let me in " Leo whispered as Ethereal knew what was happening and ran to Ethan's room and found nothing there.
" You can have it all again, let it go " Leo said to him as Ethereal was on the point of loosing his mind thinking about Ethan when he appeared.
" Ethereal come with me " he said as he gave his hand out and Ethereal looked at him and this man was familiar and he took it and they were standing in what looked like space.
" You were trapped in a simulation and nothing was real but what Kovax made to make you calm and as we speak he has began to drain you of our power " he said to Ethereal.
" Our power ? " Ethereal asked,
" It is " he answered.
" Who are you ? " Ethereal asked.
" I am Baman, high celestial "
" Celestial ? " Ethereal was surprised.
" I sacrificed myself for this universe and my family and I was too weak to return and I wandered the universe till I found you a I saw your entire life and you were to do great things but with me you would be extraordinary and what you would accomplish would be history in every world " Baman told Ethereal.
" Then let's make history and stop Kovax once and for all " Ethereal said as Baman agreed.
" That's why your here, I got a plan and you have to follow it or everyone will die " He said to Ethereal who was ready to end Kovax once and for all.
Ethereal opened his eyes and burst out of the restrains setting himself free to find Kovax waiting.
" Your awake and yet making things difficult for me " Kovax screamed as Ethereal eyes glowed and he was powering up.
" That's why you handed yourselves over to me, the plan was to get inside war world ? " He asked,
" For someone who's taken over many worlds, your not that smart " Ethereal said as he laughed.
" The plan was to get me close to you and end this " Ethereal told Kovax as he laughed.
" That's why I sent my troops to starfalls not to attack it or stage my invasion, but get me your friends, family anyone you have ever talked to and last importantly your loves, which you too many if you asked me " Kovax taunted as Ethereal saw it to be true as a screen appeared and they were captured.
" You already killed my parents, leave them alone, they are innocent " Ethereal powered down as he pleaded.
" How many will die for you ? " He asked sarcastically.
" I will give you my power willingly and no one has to get hurt " Ethereal proposed as Kovax liked that alot.
