AfterDuo: Children's tale

Chapter 18: Training With The Assassin, Kami The Rose

"Where is there a bed?" Amelia asked, gesturing to Mokali, "I think the sooner she rests, the better. Shame we don't have those healing orbs. Dammit Folgomo..." She muttered the last bit. Arigo coughed into his fist,

"I know healing spells..." He admitted.

"Bedroom upstairs on the left." Meliodas answered.

"Then come on." Amelia said to Arigo.

Arigo followed Amelia up the stairs as Katherine was still a blushing mess.

"Wow, You're more of a fan than me." Sarah said as she smiled and her sister turned to glare weakly. Mia looked to Sarah with a sour look as Ban followed the godslayer Demigod combo duo.

"Why?" Was what the white haired Demigod asked and Sarah looked over.

"Why what?" Sarah asked as she looked over. Katherine's glare turned harder as a bone shot at her sister. A flash of black and purple came out of nowhere. What is was, was a black scaled purple maned red eyed chinese like dragon.

The twins looked surprised as the others looked ready to attack.

"Stella?" The twins asked a the the same time.

A scrap of parchment popped into existence and dropped to the floor. It glowed slightly purple. It read itself in a young man's voice,

"Deus Ex Machina." Then laughter seeped from the paper before it crumbled to dust.

"What was that?" Stella asked as she looked at the dust before being attacked by the hug by the twins.

"Stella!" both twins cried as they had a grip on the stellar dragons mane.

"Jeez, how long have I been gone?" The red eyed dragon said after she sniffed the two.

"Ten years, three months, two days." Retla rattled off. "That's how long the books say." Everyone stared at him, silent. He blushed a little, then looked away.

"Who is this?" Arachne asked the twins, confused.

"Wow... That's hurts." Stella said as Sarah crawled up the mane and seemed to disappear.

"It's Stella! One of mom's creatures!" Sarah said with a gleeful tone and the dragon rolled her eyes.

"Oh, I remember now!" Arachne nodded, "Sorry." By this time Amelia, Arigo, and Mokali had already started upstairs.

Mokali looked to the dragon in shock as Amelia laughed at the sight of the twins on Stella.

"That's funny that you came around. How did you? You got stuck as a stuffed animal." The godslayer asked making the dragon glare.

"No clue, idiot." Stella growled.

"Hey hey, play nice." Sarah said, patting Stella on the side, "She didn't deserve that."

"Sure she didn't." Stella said as she rolled her eyes at the more playful twin.

"It's true though!" The girl said as Mokali came over to the dragon with an amazed look.

"Master?" Stella asked as she looked ready to get yelled at.

"Stella?" She responded, then she coughed viciously. Golden liquid dribbled down her chin, and Stella looked concerned.

"What happened to you?" The dragon asked the goddess.

Mokali didn't respond, only walking into the dragon's shoulder with a soft sobbing being heard. Stella was confused for a few seconds before hugging her master with one of her arms.
