As Marius brought home the exhausted Grevlin, he noticed that Ria was up playing with Little Rose, who seemed filled with an abundance of energy.
"Mama, I want up-up!" Little Rose said cutely, her tiny little arms stretched towards Ria's face.
"Hehe, as my little Rosey wishes," Ria replied lovingly as she picked her up and tossed her up and down, catching her easily as she fell back down.
Little Rose gave off a series of laughter as her mother played with her, not noticing her father's arrival.
Marius gave Ria a look as even though he didn't point it out, he had known that she was watching from nearby as he trained Grevlin.
As if she knew he noticed, Ria gave him a cheeky wink causing him to scratch the back of his head, as she saw his appearance, she giggled before setting her sights onto Grevlin and speaking, "Our little Grev-Grev is beginning to awaken, but it will still take a little longer for it to come in full effect."
Marius also nodded at her words; he smiled while taking a seat with Grevlin in his arms before saying, "Yes, he did pretty good today, even I didn't have that kind of calm as a child. I had to undergo cruel torture and conditioning for a good while before I had adapted to that kind of lifestyle..."
As Marius said this, he began to recall some dark memories and pictures of his early childhood from the unusual orphanage that had turned out to be an assassin training camp.
Ria could sense his negative emotions; she naturally could sense that he recalled terrible things, she stared at him and spoke, "Come now dear, it's best not to wallow over such things, you have me and our two little treasures now."
Marius also nodded and smiled as he felt much better, he looked at Ria and saw that Little Rose was laughing as Ria drowned her with tickles.
He shook his head and stood up and spoke, "I'm going to go clean up with Grevlin,"
Ria gave him a wink with a different meaning, Marius naturally knew what it meant as he hurriedly left the room while rubbing his palms together, a happy smile on his face.
At this time, Little Rose had finally gotten a break from her mother who was tickling her, she took a huff and pointed at Ria while speaking in a cute tone, "Mother... mother has bullied me!"
Ria didn't seem to mind the accusation, she poked her little tummy and spoke, "Whose my cute little Rosey?"
Little Rose seemed to be conflicted; she didn't know if she should continue to be angry or happy, after a cute little turmoil. She jumped from the ground into Ria's bosom as she spoke happily, "I am!"
Ria smiled as she rubbed her and spoke, "Come, let's go for a walk and play that game again, after playing that game, we'll get some sleep."
Little Rose made a somewhat naive look as she replied, "Okway."
Ria had a strange and mysterious expression; her eyes glowed in flaming lights that sent out a series of purple flames that consumed both her and her daughter. In merely a few moments, they vanished from the room, leaving behind the seemingly ordinary scene.
The Mountain Ax Senior sat down in his study, gazing at a few stacks of paper, he rubbed his temples as if exhausted before staring at a picture frame.
There, he saw an old photo of a faded image, but if one peered at it more carefully, they would see the indistinct picture of a gorgeous woman with two horns.
"Aya..." The Mountain Ax Senor said with a slightly melancholic look on his face; he was about to fall into his memories. But suddenly, he shifted his eyes towards the direction of the guest room as he made a pensive expression.
'She's headed out again, I see, off to train that child I suppose, truly a miraculous set of Half Hellian children. It truly does makes me wonder, am I doing the right thing?' The Mountain Ax Senior thought with a perplexed look on his face as if recalling a series of painful events. Eventually, his eyes that stared at the picture frame hardened as if he made up his mind.
"Right and wrong is defined by perspective... isn't that right, Aya?" After saying this, the Mountain Ax Senor placed down the stacks of paper and had started to prepare a few objects.
The scene here now of a different vibe as the sounds of rustling and a pen scribbling on paper sounded throughout the study.
***
In the depths of the wilderness of the unusual mountain ranges outskirts, Ria had appeared out a ball of purple flames as she held onto Little Rose in her hands.
Little Rose looked around at the night scene in excitement rather than fear, for rather than seeing a pure sight of darkness, her eyes view the night much differently.
A series of colorful lights covered the forests, as the trees and leaves which were shrouded in darkness glowed in a myriad of hues.
A few tiny critters that floated about in the darkness shone in a pale orangish light as they flew about the skies, leaving behind magical specks of dust that scattered with the wind.
"So prwetty!" Little Rose said in joy as she enjoyed this scene very much, far more so that the typical night scene at earth.
