Ssylphiel, her parents, their harems, and Bea were preparing for a fight. Someone had invaded Ssylphiel\u2019s palace on a day reserved for thankfulness! Ssylphiel had a feast planned and this joker was going to ruin it! \u2026Not on her watch! \u201cAll right, everyone, ready?\u201d called Ssylphiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReady,\u201d confirmed Coilzette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReady,\u201d answered William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReady to go here,\u201d said Bea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSanliel,\u201d directed Ssylphiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHere we go!\u201d confirmed Sanliel. She snapped her fingers and used her magic. Specifically, she used a teleportation spell to bring the aggressor right in the middle of the group. Or rather, aggressors. They were a pair of bunny people in armor, one man, one woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026The hell?\u201d asked the bunny woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are completely surrounded, intruders!\u201d called Ssylphiel as she and her friends and family sprang from the shadows. \u201cLay down your weapons or you WILL suffer the consequences!\u201d The bunny man loaded a crossbow and aimed it at Ssylphiel while the bunny woman drew a knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt will be a cold day in Hell before we do that!\u201d hissed the bunny man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow about this;\u201d suggested the bunny woman, \u201cyou lay down YOUR weapons, Python, and we won\u2019t turn this palace into rub-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMama?!\u201d gasped Bea. \u201cDaddy?!\u201d The bunny people turned their heads\u2026and their expressions softened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Bea?!\u201d whispered the bunny man. Bea dropped her sword as she slithered up to the bunny people. They each touched one another\u2026then Bea wrapped the two bunny people in a hug as happy tears flowed from their eyes. Ssylphiel blinked as she looked at the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cB-Bea!\u201d stammered the bunny woman. \u201cH-How did you-?! I thought you-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought it was you guys that-!\u201d replied Bea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cErm\u2026am I actually setting two more places at the table, Miss Bea?\u201d asked Beth. Bea then addressed the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMama Ssylphiel! Everyone!\u201d she said. \u201cMeet Mr. Andreas and Mrs. Bethany Cottonhop! My birth parents!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Yes, Beth, you are indeed setting places for these honored guests,\u201d said Ssylphiel as she smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMama, Daddy,\u201d said Bea once everyone was seated, \u201chow did you escape? I thought that boar killed you both.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe managed to finally slow it down by driving a sharpened stick through its neck,\u201d explained Andreas. \u201cWe scoured the entire countryside to find you, but\u2026well\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat happened, though?\u201d asked Bethany. \u201cHow did you end up in a Divine Naga\u2019s care?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, believe it or not, Mama, Ssylphiel isn\u2019t the first Divine Naga I encountered,\u201d replied Bea. \u201cI was starving without you two and Anacassandra preyed on that to use me as an assassin. Her attempt failed, as you see, as Ssylphiel offered to adopt me as her daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat DOES beg the question, Bea,\u201d said Ssylphiel, \u201cwhat will you do now that your parents are back in your life?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Mama Ssylphiel, can they stay in the palace with us?\u201d asked Bea. \u201cAs Divinity? That is, if you two want it, Mama Beth and Daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re already Divine Bunny people,\u201d said Andreas, \u201cLord Furrias Highjump saw to that. But staying in the palace IS up to Ssylphiel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMr. and Mrs. Cottonhop, you are more than welcome to live here,\u201d assured Ssylphiel. \u201cI think Bea would enjoy having her entire family here. On that subject, I propose a toast!\u201d Ssylphiel raised her goblet. \u201cTo family, whether by blood, adoption, or found!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo family!\u201d replied everyone at the table. With that, the feast began!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
