《Tales of The Celestial Prince》Mortal Avatars II Progress I
Advertisement
Resulting in her now walking to the garden with both Amber and Kethryllia causing Aldra to then gently nod having heard a much clearer explanation while Aurea felt there was more needed to be said while hugging her hip.
"I love mommy.. so warm and calming! Th-Thinking of which I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that there will be more mortal avatars. I won't ruin the surprise but.. they should be a few years older than me and.. different. For all intents and purposes, I'm the first and the void heart nonsense was an accident.."
"The Void is awful! I neither want it nor the legendary realm! Ev-Even if I'm a proud serpentess I'd rather be like mommy.. not 'mother' Klarine but you! My mommy! I-I suppose I-I've been a brat but teasing mommy is the best! The Best mommy must get teased by her favorite serpentess daughter!"
"I-I'm still scared to tease mommy Kethryllia.. I suppose it's because mommy Kethryllia is mommy Kethryllia and it'll feel wrong! Mommy Kethryllia is intimidating.. mommy Kethryllia is the perfect mommy that gave birth to my perfect mommy.."
Aurea adorably rambled having felt especially clingy.
Causing both Aldra and Kethryllia to then gently giggle while Amber couldn't help but pout since she hadn't met the other three causing Aurea after noticing this to then playfully smile before then pouncing!
"Big sister Amber is the cutest! If big sister or mommies had 'ever' felt curious about 'anything'.. then I suppose I'll answer any or all questions outside of the godly bits! One example being if my big sister was 'ever' so curious about that 'list' and wanted to know its 'real' purpose or how I or we felt about it?"
Aurea adorably teased before then reverting her age to match Aurel's so she'd be adorable sized! And ultimately easier to talk to?
Surprising Amber while Kethryllia surprisingly contemplated, resulting in Amber taking this chance before then adorably wrapping her arms around the baby serpentess.
"So precious and cute! Bu-But you shouldn't be a little bully! Aurel or not!"
Amber adorably pouted before then curiously whispering into Aurea's ear surprising her causing her to then playfully nod.
"Big sister was always going to be on my list! The list itself for all intents and purposes isn't as simple as others may think! With Mommy's, Mommy Annie's, Klarine's, Lady Frostma's, Selphie's, and everyone else's teachings, 'I' realized quite a few things?"
"Those memory fragments from 'Avery' didn't simply disappear, and neither did her influence on the celestial hand? I love Talia but until daddy deals with his mommy issues.. she'll forever be hovering over daddy?"
"There's a reason why I asked Vina for the assassins.. they are trained 'against' most threats which would include The Celestial Hand.. I simply don't trust all of them.
Talia is a good girl, but as for everyone else, I know The Void won't keep their promises and some 'will' still become infected!"
Aurea adorably confessed surprising all three before then almost happily continuing.
"Be it The Kingdom of Light, The Light Demon Empire, and The Elemental Empire along with The Demon Races.. they will 'hopefully' form their own pact and become associate members of The Celestial Pact? The Demons will be protected unlike before and the next dark age will be more balanced?"

"The Holy Senex and The New Senex may not be the same but they'll also.. 'maybe' join the pact ensuring a safety net and control over void influences, but the void is still the void and I can only hope all this helps!"
"Min-Mind you The Light Elves, Light Demons, and my Bright Elementals all have experienced the void and gained a bloodline immunity even if they can't use it themselves? Be it the Blight, Dimensional Horrors, or anything scary enough to threaten greater races!"
Aurea curiously added before then helplessly pausing having realized she had only 'ever' told her mommy and godly beings..
Causing Aldra to then gently giggle her heart out while Kethryllia having ever only known what very little Aldra had mentioned in secret to then reassuringly smile.
While as for Amber despite knowing half of it already via simply being around and not prying the fact that she finally got actual confirmations and even more details made her especially happy if not seriously proud?!
Be it Aurea or Aurel they were the same person meaning Aurea was her celestial teddy bear too! Causing Aurea having felt embarrassed to blabber out such details even 'within' a divine soundless barrier.. felt even more embarrassed by it all!
She was a proud serpentess.. not an idiot! Albeit she would have told both eventually but still! She ruined all the playful hints and bullying!
Causing Kethryllia to then reassuringly shake her head.
"Aurea is truly precious.. I'd imagine you needn't ever worry about such secrets coming to 'light' I suppose?"
Kethryllia gently teased surprising everyone and causing Aurea to then immediately giggle her heart out before then simply laughing having loved the attempt more than she should have?!
Resulting in both Amber and Aldra simply giggling their hearts out at the strange combination.
After the adorable antics and giggles had ended Aurea had soon explained how it all worked.
If not simply being blunt at the fact that she had only ever given them guidelines, small suggestions, and so forth while her goddesses, queens, and so forth did the rest on their own!
Meaning outside of some foresight they did most of the work on their own along with the fact that she didn't know any of their names outside of her goddesses meaning she'll be as surprised as them if she ever met them in person.
Along with the fact that only his goddesses knew who he or she actually was and everyone else only knew their true creator and may or may not have an extra sense to find out on their own?
Being as observant as her by default which in itself was an oversight no one had ever resolved themselves around fixing? In the end, it was all about the adventure!
Causing all three having already met their ambassadors to then simply nod, in truth despite everything going 'smoothly', many wood elves and dark elves coupled with the demons' return essentially came to a bottleneck.
Amelia had no intentions and even actively supported smoothing things over..
However The Wood Elves or to be more specific their King didn't .. it's gotten to the point he hopes to become a true king using this as a catalyst with neither the support of his goddess nor the royals.
However, if he oversteps and were to involve Bradley's daughter, Bradley would personally throw peace out the window.

Meaning the fake king of The Elves whose only purpose was ever to help the opposite gender's morale is essentially standing on a thin layer of glass that cracks with every step.
In truth, he wasn't entirely bad or even evil rather, he wants what's perceived to be the reality.
The fact alone that The Void Elves and Demons had returned with three lost races was a shockwave that even if you had adapted to it, was still not a simple matter, what if the demons and elves wanted revenge?
Lady Satella most likely does while the demons may want the same.
Genocide isn't a simple matter so with Amelia being the only real voice of reason along with The God of Light and his creations vowing to prevent another such instance, it would no doubt complicate things.
They were given a new life and they knew the cause and effect of what had truly transpired.
They were the victims that simply resorted to revenge against such tyrannical races who committed unforgivable crimes and were still told that they were the aggressors.
Of course, this was slightly elevated by many greater races updating and correcting their history books and actively attempting to reassure them and make things right.
However, The King of The Wood Elves is an obstacle that despite being able to skip over was still not helping, perhaps it was just a selfish desire or perhaps of his own trauma.
Meaning chances are war might still occur even if The Void only watches.
The implications alone were enough to ensure everything goes 'smoothly' albeit for the time being.
Especially when it involves the gods? Lady Inari, Fluffle, and many more are meeting with them even now in the hopes of starting a new, however, that would still take time..
Meaning time will eventually tell.. speaking of which? Soon enough Jade's mortal avatar had finally made an appearance after quite a few trips stocking and ensuring the transfer of ownership for Mora!
Be it advertisements, rejoining the gilded society, and renovating all of their seventeen stores to how they were originally, showcasing both their extravagance and elegance, the same could be said for uniforms and staff!
As if going back to the ancestorial era where everything was outrageously grand and ornate! All of which could be displayed by the stores, uniforms, and even displays themselves looking as if everything had gone back in time.
Only ever amplifying and boosting the popularity of The Gilded Goose even further, gathering the attention of all ages and consumers.
All the while the staff themselves were thoroughly vetted since Jade just wanted to be 'sure', resulting in many Jade Demons now being employed!
To put it simply, thieves, spies, and any or all unsavory figures were replaced! Not to mention Jade Demons alone would bring a lot of business! Jade Demons were gorgeous, elegant, fun, and charming!
Plus they were amazing at negotiations and diplomacy meaning who else would be better?!
Not to mention 'employing' Jade Demons wouldn't cause any trouble! Thinking of which they were the first to ignore their genocide and pretend it never happened!
Perhaps they simply didn't want to ruin their own moods by thinking of it? Where's the fun in that?!
So of course everything was going smoothly for them, be it hanging out with Void Elves, Dark Elves, Wood Elves, Light Elves, or anyone else for that matter.
Which indeed was quite comical if not a little awkward?
All the while after all of her 'updates', visiting The Temple of Aurora for her allowance and to make sure they knew their favorite holy princess had returned.
She had then made sure to send letters to all her besties starting with Kassandra and Klarine.
Mentioning she wanted to see what The 'First' Prince of The Elves was like? Resulting in her barging in and meeting Bradley who had surprisingly heard of her from his Avery so long ago?
And after buttering him up by mentioning 'all' the gossip about that little cutie of a son of his and promises not to ruin his fun she had soon gotten permission!
Of course this was in the middle of his talks with all the visiting ambassadors who also in fact knew her and quite happy to see her since it seemed not everything had changed over the years?
Which indeed was even more comical with her simply barging in and interrupting the meeting as she generally does!
Now.. after all that fun stuff she was finally on her way to see her bestie!
In truth, she had simply fallen asleep and taken control of said mortal avatar so she could enjoy it even more! Soon enough while Jade was having an absolute blast Molly had made her preparations in the young prince's garden!
The first to arrive was Marjorie, Annie, Devyn, Scarlet, Melly, and their babies surprising everyone by the young prince pouting at three bullies.
One Dark Elf, one Celestial, and one Elf that looked like mommy while Gemma gently giggled at the sight! While Elyris adorably wrapped her tail around the young prince.
All three looked quite familiar as well! Surprising Devyn, Scarlet, Marjorie, Annie, and Melly since they saw both a younger Aldra and Avery?!
Causing both Annie and Melly to playfully pause hoping it wasn't true while Ayrenn playfully shook her head and Laurel adorably sighed.
"Mortal Avatars.. The Celestial Is Aurel with fragments of mommy Avery, The Elf is Aurel with fragments of mommy, and Dark Elf is Aurel with fragments of big sister Amelia and Silas.. Mental link happens but I.. don't know"
Laurel adorably mumbled having tried her best to stay awake while Auriana having noticed their arrival playfully smiled.
In truth, she was mostly the fragments of Avery glued together by the young prince making her a strange fusion and resulting in her happily taking this opportunity to become a menace.
"Lady Ayrenn, sweet Molly is currently awaiting your presence further into the Garden? Lady Salen will lead the way, I do hope for the best!"
"So let me offer you some 'friendly' advice.. motherhood isn't comparable to running an empire, your title of empress means nothing to her"
"Perhaps through your actions and words she'd learn to one day find pride in such things, for now, you should only focus on the rekindling"
Auriana reassuringly whispered causing Lady Ayrenn to then playfully smile having felt it was a shame that this mortal avatar wasn't the real Avery before then playfully poking her forehead aside before then simply following Lady Salen.

The Demon plane is the home to seven races of demons, while the Mortal plane is home to the Human race and their bizarre mutations and magical skills.The Mortal plane is a plane where countless humans live in densely populated cities. The complete opposite to the sparse populations of the Demon plane. Just as much as the Demons have powers, there are some mortals who have powers too. Mutations that create powerful Humans called Vigors as well as magic users who can cast spells or traverse the two planes.The Demon plane is ruled over by seven Demon lords and a king, while the other, less powerful demons fall into line behind these Demon lords. These Demon lords grant powers to their subjects, creating the seven demon races. All Demons can move between the two planes, but most choose not to due to their hatred of the Human race, but some do for a single thing. To have children, for Demons can only be male. At least- they should.Elmira is the first female demon and due to her unique circumstance and the demon's hatred of Humans, they wish to make her their queen with which they can have 'pure' children with.

As a plan hidden from her other brothers and Satan, her Father, Lucifer sends her off to the Mortal plane in an effort to hide her amongst the Humans.
