The day went by smoothly as the wedding went off again, this time without Chrysalis there, saying that she’ll wait for us outside of the city. I didn’t go as well since I was with Sara… my mother.

There were so many questions I had to ask, ones that she tried to answer the best as she could… after I asked Rarity to make some quick clothes for her, which she was happy to do… and quickly to do as well. It was a day later which everyone headed out of the city where, after some walking, we all found the Ex-Queen and the soldier waiting. They turned at us as Chrysalis turned and saw us approach and stood up.

“Now then, is everyone ready?” Mother asked all of us, bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked at the others, seeing them ready. I looked at Mother and nodded at her. With that she snapped her fingers and we all found ourselves back at the Academy grounds, though with a bit of an upset stomach. The two Changelings, as they told me who they were, stumbled a bit.

“As much as I want to talk, I want to go find the little ones.” Yang said before looking over at Mother. “See you soon.” Mother gave her a smile before Yang headed off to find Axycia. Sara, mom, that’s going to be a pain, looked around at where she was.

“Wow… this is something.” she said. As she said that the others headed off to get redressed, leaving her, Ruby, Qo, Mother, and the two Changelings.

“So… what now?” I asked them. Mother looked at Chrysalis with a small glare, no doubt forgave her for ordering my own birth mother to kill me.

“Hey, I didn’t know!” Chrysalis said, glancing over at my birth mother with some worry. “Now that they are related, I believe they are worse!” Mother rolled her eyes at this before saying.

“I will hand you your punishment in due time, for now, however…” With another snap of her fingers, Chrysalis’ ankle shone and golden bracelet formed around her ankle. “If you at any point attempt to flee, that bracelet will send you back to the Pit.” Mother warned her. Chrysalis stiffen a bit before looking down at the female Changeling soldier beside her.

“What are you doing here?” Chrysalis asked her.

“You are my Queen, I’ll stay by your side until I die.” She said firmly. Chrysalis rolled her eyes before looking at Mother.

“What about this soldier drone?” She asked, making the Female soldier brighten a little. Mother thought on this briefly before finally saying.

“She may accompany you throughout your punishment.” Mother said to her. Chrysalis stared at her before simply nodding at her before looking at the female.

“Looks like your stuck with me.” she said simply.

“Yes my Queen.” the Changeling said, making Chrysalis frown a bit.

“I’m no Queen anymore,” Chrysalis informed her.

“To me you are.” the Changeling said with a frown. Chrysalis sighed and shook her head at her.

“Now then, what will you do now that you free Miss Warren?” Mother asked my own birth mother. She thought about of it for a bit and shook her head.

“I… don’t know.” she said as she looked up at Mother.

“What are you going to do Mom?” Qo asked me, making my birth mother looked at me wide eyed.

“Wait, mom?!? You have kids!” she yelled at me, surprising me as I nodded. She turned blinked and looked at Qo.

“My highlord… you look just like here… and I’m a grandma!” she said happily. I smiled at her as I remembered the Twins.

“Right! Ruby!” I said before I bolted out away from the others, followed by Ruby… then I was following her… and lost her… dang, she’s fast.

I soon got to my Aunts shop and went inside it. I soon found the room where Miho and Karen in a crib gumming on something, they turned to us as we came close, slowly brightening up as I leaned down and picked up Miho.

“Oh, I missed you~!” I said as I gave her some kisses. “Mommy missed you~,” I said to little Miho, earning giggles delight from the month old baby girl. Ruby had Karen in her arms, peppering the little one with kisses of her own.

“Here we are, they're just through here.” Mother’s voice ran from outside the room and the door soon opened, revealing it to be Sara, my birth mother. She walked in first before Mother went in, closing the door behind her gently. “I never expected you to be so quick, dear.” Mother said to me. I smiled as Sara came over to see the twins, who they both looked at her.

“I just… need this.” I told her as Miho reached a hand to Sara, who simply raised a hand up so she could hold her finger. Miho soon started to giggle at this as she started to bring the finger to her mouth to start gumming it, making Sara smile a bit more. Mother walked up to me, gaining a happy giggle from Miho.

“I will leave you three to it, I feel Hotaru calling for me.” Mother said before quickly vanishing with a flash, no doubt to see her own children. I didn't how long we all stayed like this, my birth mother couldn't take her eyes off of Miho and when she did, it was only to look at Karen. I could see the sadness in her eyes when she switched between the two.

“Do you… want to hold her?” I asked her, offering Miho to her. She stared at me and nodded a bit as I handed Miho over to her. Sara held my little girl before taking a shaky breath as she gave her a sad smile. The five of us stayed in that room for a long while but it was worth it in the end.

“Oh I'm sorry, I was never introduced to you…” Sara said to Ruby as the two sat on the ground with the twins on their laps.

“Oh yeah, well I'm Ruby Rose.” Ruby introduces herself, making my birth mother smile.

“Seeing you act so close to Viri, I'm guessing you two really close friends?” Sara asked, making Ruby blush.

“We're not really best friends, a little more than that…” I said as I sat near Ruby and put my hand on top of hers. “Ruby is my fiance.” this caused Sara to stare at the two of us before saying.

“I… missed so much! I didn't realise my little girl is… ugh!” Sara said, rubbing her forehead. “This is making me have a headache.” Both me and Ruby chuckled at this as we sat there. Our attention was brought back to the door of the room as it opened and Theodore walked in with warm bottles of milk. He stopped when he noticed all of us.

“Ah you're back, I wasn't you'd be back so soon.” Theodore said to me and Ruby before facing Sara, my mother, and narrowing his eyes at her. Sara stared back at him, narrowing her eyes.

“Do I know you?” Sara asked Theodore. The latter chuckled at this before answering.

“Dear Oum, how you've grown.” Theodore said. “The last time I saw you, I gave you some good advice on how to knock some sense into you team leader.” Theodore said with a quiet laugh. Sara’s eyes widened at this.

“No way… I thought… last time I saw you it was when I was in school… and you were older… much older.” she said. Theodore smiled at this and chuckled before saying.

“Indeed I was and it's quite complicated to explain how you see me now.” He said before looking at Miho, who was giggling and reaching out for her Uncle. “So I apologize if I leave you more questions than answers.” He added, glancing at Sara as he wiggled his fingers above Miho. She giggles at this as she reached up to try and grab his fingers.

“Yeah… you can say that…” Sara said with a chuckle. I smiled at her as Theodore handed out the bottles to feed Miho and Karan. The two little ones were quick to begin, much to my surprise Karen was the one that finished first. As she finished, I picked her up to help her burp.

“So, what do you want to do?” I asked Sara as I patted Karen’s back.

“Well, I would like to explore a bit, maybe see your friends.” Sara said with a smile as she held Miho and her bottle so she can feed. Theodore was currently folding Miho and Karen’s favorite blankets and placed their baby toys in the bag I handed to him and Aunty Axycia.

“There, everything is packed and ready to go.” Theodore said, handing the bag over to Ruby who gladly took it. “I will be seeing you all soon, I have my own children to take care of.” At the mention of this we all heard Nyvu calling out for him and with a roll of his eyes, he left the room to see what was wrong. I smiled at this as I handed Miho back my birth mother and grabbed the bag.

“Well then, how about we go see what everyone is up to.” I said with a smile. Ruby and Sara both nodded at this before we exited the shop and headed back to Forever Free. When we made it back to the academy, we saw the two Dovah guards from before. Their armour was merely scratched but it was very noticeable. A group of students have gathered to simply see the two though I could see some of the boys ogling at the female guard. They stood tall at an impressive nine feet.

It wasn't until Mother appeared in front of then that they bowed on one knee. Mother had Hotaru in her arms as she spoke to the two guards, unfortunately, I was too far to hear her but whatever she said gained the nods of both guards before they shrunk down even more and stopping when they were just above the average height of the faunus students. I was curious to know what was going on, having never seen a Dovah at this size before, not counting Mother of course.

“Got to say, not the first time seeing something like that.” Sara said before looking over at the ogling boys. “Though I question the armour selection…” Mother heard this and faced Sara before saying.

“It is meant to make my guards faster and deadlier, the mortals here however see this as another thing.” Mother said with a frown as she glanced back at the boys before shaking her head. “Inhon.” She said under her breath. [Perverts.]

I snicker at this as Sara looked confused a bit. She glanced over at the woman Dovah before saying. “What are your thoughts on this?” The Dovah woman looked at her confused before finally understanding her question. Her answer was given in the form of an action, an action brought upon by her partner who cast a bolt of lightning from his spear by the ogling boys feet, scaring the crap out of them as a result. Sara frowned at this before looking at the other Dovah. “That was rude.”

“They were staring at his sister.” Mother said, defending the Dovah’s action. The Dovah in question growled lightly as the students scattered about, not wanting to anger the armoured Dovah male anymore. Sara didn’t say anything about this but simply nodded. “Anywho, they will be staying here to watch over Chrysalis, to act as wardens of sorts.” The two Dovah guards nodded at Mother’s words.

“Speaking of her, where is Chrysalis?” I asked, looking around to see if I could see the Changeling Ex-Queen. Mother smiled at this before looking off to the side and I soon followed her gaze, seeing Chrysalis wearing a similar dress as Mother’s only a very dark shade of green.

“During my brief moments in my true form, several demons from the Pit have escaped into this world and as punishment, Chrysalis has captured them all and send them back.” Mother explained to me, though this gained a confused look from Sara, no doubt due to Chrysalis’ lack of armour despite her punishment. “These demons are rather small and annoying, the most damage they can do is ruin one's attire.” Mother said. The three of us made a look at Mother as she said that.

“Right…” Sara said, shifting a bit as she looked around, no doubt keeping an eye out for small demons. Mother chuckled before nodding at Chrysalis and the female drone beside her, no doubt silently telling them to begin their search.

“Now Miss Warren, if you don't mind me asking, would you mind telling me about yourself?” Mother asked before looking down at the giggling Hotaru in her arms. Mother smiled at this before hovering her finger above Hotaru, who reached for it and grabbed it before pulling her hand down.

“Well, what’s there to say?” Sara said as she thought about it. “I was a well know Huntress in Remnant, spent most of my teenage life there and… well got married, had a kid and…” she stopped as she frowned. I looked over and saw that the next part of that was painful for her to say.

“You don't have to say more.” Mother said, seeing the pained look on Sara’s face. Sara nodded though tearing up a bit. She whipped some tears away before saying.

“I… I want to thank you Mavis.” Sara said with a smile as she looked over at me. “For taking care of Viri for so long… I thought I lost her after…” she stopped as she shook her head. Mother looked as if she wanted to say that no thanks were necessary but she knew that Sara wouldn't accept it. So she nodded with a little smile, glancing at me as she did. I smiled at Sara as she continues talking. “Other than that there’s my time here but… well, I don’t know if you really care about it.”

“Nonsense, there's nothing you can say that I won't care about, you're a part of the family.” Mother said just as Hotaru brought Mother's finger into her mouth, gumming on it. Sara chuckled at this before speaking.

“Well, I simply spent my time in Hauksstaoir.” She said with a shrug, earning a laugh from the Bug Ex-Queen. We all turned and frowned at her.

“Do not start.” Mother said with a frown, a beep emitting from the bracelet of her ankle.

“What? What she says isn’t true.” Chrysalis pointed out to us, making Sara frown at her.

“And what makes you say that?” Mother asked Chrysalis.

“Because Hauksstaoir is a myth, where one of the greatest Faunus city’s in this world is supposedly found in, beating Canterlot by a landslide.” Chrysalis said before looking down at a large rock then shook her head a bit. “Another name is the Birthplace of the Dragons, where the first dragon came to be.”

“It’s real, I was born there.” Sara said with her arms crossed. Chrysalis scoffed at this but said nothing as another beep emitted from the bracelet.

“Do not mind her, my dear, I believe you.” Mother said to Sara with a little smile. Sara stared at Chrysalis before moving her sleeve up.

“Okay, what can you say about this?” she asked before raising her arm up before speaking. “Datgelu.” with the word spoken glowing markings and runes appeared on Sara’s arm that extended up said arm to the side of her face. We all stared at her as Sara pulled her sleeve down.

“Ah, now I remember.” Mother said, seeing the markings. “I have visited the city once long ago.” She said with a smile. She pulled her finger out of Hotaru’s mouth with a pop, gaining a giggle from the girl.

“Oh? You been there?” Sara asked, looking over to Mother. Mother nodded and said.

“Yes and if I remember correctly, the leader and I were in a brief relationship.” Mother said, remembering her encounters in said city… Wait what?!

“You were in a relationship with someone else?!” I asked in a surprised tone. This earned a chuckle from Mother as Sara shifted a bit, blushing as well.

“Yes but it wasn't meant to be, we parted ways a decade later.” Mother said, holding Hotaru closer. Mother cooed at Hotaru happily, rocking her gently in her arms.

“You mean Dokris?” Sara asked, earning a look from both Ruby and I. “He’s the leader of the city, also known as the Highlord. Some say that he is wise beyond anything and a great fighter, also said to greet the dead of Valhalla.” she explained. Mother nodded before saying.

“Yes, that's him alright.” Mother said with a smile. Sara smiled before looking over at me.

“I wish I could show you the place, when the sun rises up to bathed the building, you would’ve loved it.” Sara said with a smile. Mother nodded at this in agreement.

“Well after how highly to said it is, maybe I would like to come see.” I said with a grin. Mother chuckled once again though I didn't know if it was because Hotaru had managed to grab her hand again or chuckling at my words. Nevertheless, she smiled and looked at me while the two Dovah guards left with Chrysalis and the drone.

“Perhaps I should plan a trip for a future visit.” Mother suggested, gaining a surprised look from my birth mother. I arched a brow at this before smiling.

“I think it would be fun.” I said to her. Mother smiled and gestured to towards the academy gates before saying.

“Shall we head on inside? Everyone is waiting to meet your real mother.” Mother said to me with a smile. I turned to look at Sara and smiled.

“Come on… mom.” I said, making her brighten up as I said that. With a nod and a forming smile, Mother led us inside the Academy and we soon found ourselves in the library. Despite the sign stating that it was closed for the day, we entered and saw the rest of the gang talking amongst themselves. Blake and Indigo were cooing at their little bundle of joy. Yang was with her twins, simply playing a game with them and enjoying her time as she played with them. I saw Rose and Lana talking to RB and Gol, no doubt telling them about the events that transpired yesterday.

“Where's Tak and Weiss?” Ruby asked, noticing that both of them were nowhere to be seen.

“Well, it turned out Viri and Tak have one thing in common. Being a faunus, young Tak has to go through his own heat cycle and he has explained to me that he has held those urges back with extensive meditation but with Weiss, it has gotten increasingly difficult for him to hold back.” Mother said with a whisper, low enough for the little ones not to hear. It took me a moment to process her words and when it clicked, I blushed at the thought before shaking my head.

“So… they are out for the day?” I whispered back. Mother nodded before saying.

“He's such a sweet boy, he told Weiss that he held the urges back afraid that she'd leave him.” Mother said with a little smile before walking over to Yang, who was currently carrying Kaida on her back and Strun on her tail. The latter laugh as he bounced on her tail. I nodded as I looked at the rest of them.

“Kinda wished everyone was here to hear this but, I understand the need.” I said, blushing a little along with Ruby. My birth mother looked at me with a curious glance. It wasn't difficult to grab everyone’s attention, especially when Mother handed me an air horn before forming a barrier around the little ones for when I used the horn. Everyone jumped at this and looked at me as I handed the airhorn back. After getting an earful about using an air horn I moved on telling them about Sara being my real mother… still not used to it. This earned some surprise from everyone and started looking at Sara and at myself.

Iilah and Qo were shocked at the similarities between me and my mother. Blake and Indigo were quick to accept this, happy for me being reunited with my own mother. Lana and Rose were a little confused but were quick to be happy for me and my mother. RB and Gol were on the sidelines with Gol leaning onto a bookshelf and RB leaning onto him. My mom's reaction to Gol’s appearance was… interesting. She frowned at him but didn’t really say anything at first.

“What has happened to you?” She asked Gol. “Looks like the Grimm tried to take you over.” Gol didn't miss a beat in answering before RB could even frown.

“They did, for a few years I was one of them.” He said, wrapping his arms around RB before she could do anything. Sara’s ears flattened on top of her head but didn’t say anything. I couldn’t tell what she was thinking but she turned away from Gol.

“Anywho, I would like to address that what you've all seen me do yesterday was something I don't pride myself on doing.” Mother said, regarding her going berserk yesterday. We all looked at each other in silence before Qo spoke.

“You mean… when you went really big?” Qo asked her. Mother nodded at Qo’s question.

“I let my temper get the best of me and released a larger fraction of my power which in turn forced my form to adapt and change into the colossal Dovah you all saw.” Mother explained with a nod to Qo. Yang frowned at this as she had her little girl on her shoulders as Mother spoke.

“So… when Sara fought you before, that wasn’t even half of your power?” Blake asked Mother, making Sara looked at her and Mother oddly.

“The form you see before you cannot handle all of my power, in comparison my powers are currently on par with Celestia’s and Luna’s combined.” Mother said to Blake.

“Then… how were you defeated by Sara?” Yang asked Mother. All of our heads turned to Sara who was sitting near me.

“I… rather not say, it’ll just lead to a history lesson.” Sara said, confusing everyone else. I crossed my arms a bit.

“That and she has The Fist.” I said annoyed, making Blake, Iilah, Qo, and Yang groan at this.

“Errr what?” Sara asked, now confused at this. Indigo laughed at this, the mention of the fist being used was something he found amusing.

“The Fist is something we've come to know and despise over the years.” Blake said, gaining nods of agreement from everyone in the room with the exception of Lana, Rose, Mother and Gol. Indigo calmed down from his laughter. “He's the one that created it.” Blake said, gesturing towards her husband while she cradled Brans in her arms. Sara tilted her head as she thought about it.

“Fire fist? Do you mean the Fist of Surtr?” Sara asked.

“Uh, what?” Iilah asked, confused on what she meant by the name.

“Fist of Surtr, a giant fist of fire. The name came from the idea of Surtr, the ruler of Muspelheim, or the realm of fire.” Sara said with a smile on her face. Mother nodded at this as she rocked Hotaru gently, gaining a cute yawn from her.

“Wait, there’s a realm of fire?” Qo asked with a frown. “Had to suck for anyone that wants air conditioning.” this earned a chuckle from Sara.

“Yeah well, there’s more than just a realm of fire.” Sara explained with a wave of her hand. Mother nodded at Sara’s words before standing up, gaining everyone’s attention.

“Apologies but it's nearly nappy time and I rather not have a cranky baby in my arms.” She said jokingly before she and Yang got up and left with Kaida and Strun following behind. As they left Kaida and Strun both waved over to my mother before exiting the library. We were soon left ourselves and RB and Gol were quick to take the now empty seats.

I smiled at this as there were some questions for my birth mother, which she was happy to answer. I felt Ruby’s hand grasped mine as she smiled at me. I leaned over and gave her a kiss as we listen to one of Sara’s stories that Qo asked her about.

If you can’t tell, I Really like Norse Mythology... also I may have taken a lot from the new God of War game... it’s good!

Also, the land of Hauksstaoir... new place to go?
