Yes. I know I left things with my brothers very rocky back at Emilia's mansion, but I trust them with Marina's safety. At least at this moment, both of them.
You can set aside past transgressions to be there for your family no matter how rocky. Do you gander a moment in the foreseeable future where you cannot trust one or neither of them?
She is. She was taken by Bellora, but she has people looking out for her, even if we can't.
Your brothers, if the rumors are correct? Fuck. Ric's going to lose it.
Barely into the lockdown, and I already lost track of someone I'm caring for. Not very First Mother of me.
The whispers are true then. Marina's really gone.
A fractured soul? I had never heard of that happening before, but I am not surprised that such a repercussion occurred due to the timelines merging as they did. Quite fortunate that you were found by someone who could help you the way the First Mother did; not many could pull that off. Loved ones can make even the most pacifist of people fight, so that is no surprise, but maybe someday, when he's distracted enough, I might whisk you away for a few hours, if only to expand your knowledge of the realm you crash landed into. Russia is vast, very cold, and at times very unfriendly. However, it has its own charms that I have come to love and call home for centuries. I would hope that I have taken even a minuscule amount of his generosity, indeed. I know Robin's father, as many beings who have lived as long as we have do, and I know Henrik believes he has already won. Things will get far worse before they get better, but nothing is impossible, and he is killable.
I too have never heard of it happening either, but it did and we learned it's fixable by a powerful enough being. Well, if my future husband would not be delighted seeing me whisked away by the Baba Yaga herself, I would be everything and more to have the honor so you are absolutely welcome to. Bouncing to the cold environment when my home realm typically ran hot doesn't sound appealing for a demon, however, I never say no stepping out of my comfort zone. That's his first mistake, thinking himself invincible. I hope for his son's sake and for yours that he dies soon before worse fully comes to fruition.
Your impending marriage bodes in your favor if you already get along so well with your future mother-in-law. I would expect to have to fight your fiancé to steal you away, which is why I will refrain from the notion. For now, at least. Judging based on accent is not too bad; it's when people assume that all Russians know each other– that's where I really start calling people rude. He is special, and I'm not just being a biased mother. Valentin has one of the biggest hearts I know, and somehow, he got that all on his own. It didn't come from me, as I cannot say that I am even a fraction as kind as him. He and Robin are both good boys.
Well, it's a long story, but I came here to this timeline with a fractured soul that Gianna helped mend and I've owed her for that kindness ever since. Although Ulric isn't what you consider a fighter in combat terms, he wouldn't hesitate duking it out with the woman who raised Valentin. Still, I'd let you anyway. Oh, wow, so Russia isn't a very small space where everyone knows each other, sounds disappointing. Some of his generosity had to rub off from you somehow, ma'am, however Val and that special friend of his are very good boys. Makes it all the more sad seeing them struggling since coming to stay. This whole...vampire situation is making everyone on edge.
The more I hear about Gianna and her influence, the more I like her. I'm Pandora's elder sister, so there are some ties despite how far apart we are in the family tree. You are just so cute that I could put you in a little bottle and keep you on my shelf forever. You're also the first to not assume who my son is based on the accent alone– Valentin is my darling boy.
It's hard not to like her, I find. And elder sister, well, the family just continues the growth. Not that I would mind allowing you to bottle me up for your collection on a shelf, but I'm sure my fiancé will not approve you taking me far away due to my immense cuteness. The Russian accent should've been a tip off then considering it's a little rude making an assumption based on accent alone. I just met Valentin recently, actually, at Gianna's party. Invited me to his bar once it reopened. I can tell he's something special.
Ah, making the best of a dismal situation. I figured it was time I met extended family while I was in town looking after my son, and you're marrying a distant relative of mine. Something along the lines of a nephew several times removed. Hard to keep track.
You learn from the best around here and that's sort of the female head of the household. You share relation with Gianna and my Ulric? Well, that wasn't on my bingo card for this year, but it's lovely meeting you nonetheless. I'm Nyrinn. So, uh, who's your son?
At least, I'll have plenty of free time to plan a wedding.
When we're not in celebration mode and relishing the good, I can discuss what's going on with our newest arrivals. You and Ulric are engaged? Oh, that is a very good thing. I'm so happy for you and my son, Nyrinn. Truly. You two deserve to live out the happy-ever-after you didn't get to experience in your timeline.
You have yourself a fair deal. I wanted to find the right moment to pop the question and then I realized there never would be the right moment. The city's problems wouldn't stop for us and nor will what comes next. You deserved to be the first person I told, Gianna, you are much a mother to me as you are for your twins. To have you, the First Mother, as my in-law will be the greatest honor.
You should come by my bar when I am able to go home– parties weekly, and not to toot my horn, but they're pretty fun.
Weekly parties and the promise of fun? I mean, you tell me that and a demon cannot refuse. I've heard the testimony of highly satisfied patrons already living here and I trust them as much as you even while tooting your own horn.
The music could be louder, but no one here is a degenerate– at least when people are mostly still sober. We'll see towards the end. Yeah, I heard some shit is brewing, I knew it wouldn't be quiet for long, so we might as well go out with a hoorah.
Oh, and will you actively be the catalyst turning everyone here into degenerates by spreading the flow of alcohol as I know you do with conversation gossip? I'm accustomed to staying inside for weeks on end, Blair, but we'll possess a little extra hoorah after the party. I'm engaged.
I've been to a few, but nothing as wholesome as celebrating a First. Mostly, it was seedy places where the music was too loud, and degenerates congregated.
Hopefully, the music isn't too loud for your liking and you don't see us as degenerates who've congregated for a very wholesome ceremony. It might be our last party for a while, though.
That's more than I could hope for, honestly. I'm not going to lie, things might get a little... difficult from now on, at least outside of the house, so we have to take the good when we can.
We had two more guests take up residence who can't peel themselves from the other's side, I knew something must be about to turn the tide. I'm taking the good, actually, which is evident for what I'm about to share. I proposed to Ulric and he accepted the proposal. We're getting married.
I can imagine. Hopefully, this will give you a good memory to have.
It already is successfully giving me more than good memories, Gianna. This house will be full of them and that's all you.
I can't remember the last party I ever attended.
Demons aren't exactly this city's only problem anymore. I've been there. If you're tired of feeling useless, find something you can help with that's within your control. Even if it's small. It's all about baby steps.
Okay, what's popped up and started causing problems now? I could fall into very old habits and sharpen every weapon in the armory my castle of a new home oddly contains. It would be nice getting back to my roots.
It comes with the territory of free will that sometimes our loved ones make decisions that we can never understand. It is easier for me to understand who he is, seeing as this is the only version of him I know; nothing will ever be able to take away the jarring differences you're seeing and having to come to terms with. Ulric is his father, just as much as he is me, and we can't remove that part of him. Envy has his flaws, just as everyone walking this realm does, but if there's one thing that I know of my Envy in this timeline, it is that he has the capability to love fiercely, and the twins got that part of him. Their capacity to care, to go above and beyond for those they hold dear, isn't me. It's him. The only thing I can say is to take it one day at a time. Find the small things, the tiny puzzle pieces that make up this Ulric until it's someone you can recognize with every fiber of your being.
I've tried helping him see that he wasn't Envy as much as it was for him as it was for myself because a side of me couldn't be reminded of the man who killed me and my mother. Pushing that part of him down while he understandably rejects it, made coming face to face with his father in this timeline even worse than it already is. I'll take my responsibility in it. I will take it in stride as you would and the way he deserves. And when there is a moment where we're both ready, I'm going to ask him to marry me. I love Ric, I love him so damn much, that it hurts in every way both good and bad.
