Journal entry number... actually lets not number these... I've been reflecting on my kids lately after Yumi was born. Ten kids is... a lot... but I am ten thousand years old so is it that bad age wise? If people are to read this I might as well explain who all my children are.
Emerald is my oldest, probably nearly as old as me. My wife and I had her when we were pretty young. Intentionally. I was living on limited time and we'd lived through hell trying to save the world so... how hard could raising a daughter be compared to that? Uhh... much harder, but less people died along the way. She followed my footsteps pretty far, even joining the Vale Special Forces. I wish I knew more about her life, but I got Recalled and I didnt see her again for a long time. We met again in the Afterlife and... well a lot went down I'd rather not talk about. We've grown closer as time went on, but due to circumstances I havent seen her in a long time...
My next oldest you could say... is Mara Calypso. While I was still alive and on my homeworld, I went on a mission to take down a cult of Destruction. A woman named Serena Calypso ended up helping me out. Unknown to me, she had taken a liking to me and the unique power of mind control. After a night a cant remember, I left her and the town we met behind. I dont know the details of what happened next but... Mara was born, and genetics don't lie. She's my daughter. I... I know there wasn't much I could have done for Mara with how little time I had left, and I should hate Serena for what she did... but I still feel horrible for not being there for Mara when I had the chance.
I have similar feelings for Avice, my next oldest. During my time as The Sentinel I had a mission to exterminate an entire planet... well an Empress didnt take too kindly to me killing off her planet and... I am weak to tall muscular woman.... I didnt think being dead would allow me to pass on my genetics but... you'd be surprised! Avice had a rough childhood because of my actions... and by the time I learned about her it was too late to help...
Speaking of my time as Sentinel, my successor as the leader of the Red Legion, Ghost. Her real name is Valerie Ryu, but I'm pretty sure she'd kill you if you called her that. She was never meant to become a Red Soul, her parents were assassins, good ones at that. Bordering on legendary, probably would have given that Wick guy a run for his money. But even a legend cant predict an accident. A car crash killed both her parents and Valerie, but they died quicker and Death... Death took what was left. I aided her on her mission, and her training in the Arena. Never really adopted her but, i'm the closest thing to a mother she has, and I'd take a bullet for her without thinking.
My next two daughters I adopted. Elsie and Akari. While I was traveling the multiverse with the unfortunately named IDIOTS crew, we encountered two worlds haphazardly stitched together. One used to be a normal magical fantasy earth and the other was literally hell. Elsie's parents died in the stitching process and her older sister was killed by a man named Ender, the sin of Lust. So I chopped his dick off and vowed to find her a new home... that home ended up being with me. I get attached to children in need okay! Akari was a... different story... She's a kitsune girl that started following us for the free food, and when her life was in danger I saved her. There was never a moment I adopted the two of them... it just sorta happened.
Then came the twins. They were a welcome addition to my life. As our journey across the multiverse came closer to its end, me and Layla grew closer and... things happened. I refrence back to me being weak to tall muscular women. We decided to name them after our parents, so Ruby and Kali came into this world. I had to raise both of them by myself for a while until... nevermind.
The one who i never expected. My only son, Voss, or Hemlock as most people know him. I thought i was adopting a fox to keep me company, well that fox was a 16 year old traumatized kitsune. I don't remember ever officially saying he was my son, it was another case of things just happening. He has a good heart, and a lot of love to give but... I'm worried I tought him some wrong lessons along the way...
And my youngest, little Yumi. Right now she's bearly a month old. She was born unexpectedly and at a horrible time for everyone around her... but I refuse to let circumstance color anyone's view of my daughter. Its been a while since i've had to take care of an infant and... I dont miss it. Yumi's special abilities dont make things easier. Like Ruby and Kali, she inherited my Storm, and like her other parent she inherited the ability to turn anything she bites or scratches into a bloodthirsty monster. Did I mention she's already teething? Its been hell, but she's adorable and I love her all the same.
I love my kids with all my heart. I wish I could spend more time with all of them, hell I wish I could give each of them the lives they deserve. I wonder if I could revive the dead timeline i'm hiding out in... become like a new creator god? Eh, project for another day. The one downside of having ten kids is the birthdays.
