When Lucy came to she was laying with her head on something firm aand warm while fingers trailed through her hair. Once upon a time Lucy would have jumped up and yelled at whoever was petting her but at the moment she was still tired and really enjoying whoever it was.
"Are you going to start purring now?" A deep yet calm voice asked her, reminder her of water lapping at the sand.
"Yeah Stellula, is my brother Cris' lap comfy enough for you? Enjoy it any more and Bixyboy might get jealous." Lucy heard from somewhere near her feet. And then the warmth under her legs adjusted. 'Ahhh there's Van.' She realizes.
"Bixy can come join the snuggle pile cause I ain't moving." Lucy mumbles back as she cuddles further into what she assumes in Cris' lap sighing contently.
"Common Cosplay Queen!" -Queen, Queen!"- "These guys are dying to meet cha, plus you got some explaining to do."
"Do I hear the babies?" She sleepily reply's as she rubbs her eyes before stretching and sitting up.
In front of her is Bixy standing with his babies up in the air grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
Looking next to her she comes face to face with Umbra, and looking behind her she sees who apparently is Chris. He is a gorgeous man all in his own right, more dark and mysterious than his brothers but definitely just as handsome.
"Stellula let me introduce you to Cris, the man that was giving your head an amazing massage." Van says.
"It's an honor, Caelesti. Draco speaks fondly of the one who he bestowed his gift upon."
Lucy's eyes widen and her mouth pops open. Slowly without looking away from his gaze Lucy crawls into Cris' lap, simply stairing at him for a moment.
"Uh Cosplayer? You okay...?" Bixy asks.
Bringing up her right she softly caresses the side of Cristoffs surprising smooth tan face.
"Regi fidelis?" She whispers and Cris nods.
Lucy's traces the sign of the crescent moon imbetween Cris' eye brows, causing his eyes to flash their silver color.
"Gladius Noctis?" Lucy again whispers, this time Cris nods into her hand once again cradleing his face. A soft smile pulls at her full lips as he closes his eyes and purrs into her palm.
"Unum Stellarum." Lucy finishes by resting her head against Cris'.
"Alright, what in the actual fuck is going on here?" Bixlow exclaims waving his hands around in the air.
-Confused, super confused- The babies chime in.
"Not now babies." Bixlow chides.
Lucy quickly turns around in Cris' lap while his arms easily wrap around her waist.
"Leave those poor babies alone Bixy. Cris and I were just talking about Draco and Nurem. Don't get your panties in a twist. Come here babies I'll love you." She opens her arms to gladly accept the giggling babies.
"Now, where is the rest of your wonderful family I have yet to meet." She inquires.
Bixlow just groans and goes back into the kitchen to grab them. As he leaves Lucy realizes Van had been entirely way too quiet that whole exchange. Looking to her left she sees him reclining against the back of the sofa with that inquisitive stare locked on her.
"I don't think you'll ever quench my curiosity." He states after a moments pause. "You're like a bundles of mysteries, you figure out one just to stumble across another. Oh... this will be fun." He finishes with a panty dropping smirk.
"Oh I'm always fun Van, hope you can keep up." She quips back.
Their conversation finds a lull as they patiently wait for the family to come back into the gathering room. Wait, correction. Lucy and Cris patiently wait while Van starts tapping his foot, and then his thigh, and then the back of the leather couch his hand is resting on. To top it all off he shouts.
"Oh come on! The living room is not that far from the kitchen!"
Suddenly a group joins them in the room, most of them eyeing Cris and Lucy with coy smiles. Mostly Em and Xally.
"You two costed up quite quickly." Em remarks.
"We are of the Stars, it's only natural we click so well." Lucy says back with a smile that only seems to make the families confused faces even more confused.
Hopping up Lucy quickly runs to be right in front of both women taking a hand of each. One who is exceptionally tall around 6 foot with shiny blonde hair and firey orange eyes. She carries herself with an air of confidence and power, she is a fighter. Her smile is radiant like the powers of the sun she commands.
The other is still a few inches taller than Lucy herself with wavy black hair are crystal aquamarine eyes.
She brings a sense of security and peace with her, definitely not a fighter but someone you would approach if you were in need of healing.
"Lucy, this is Emzadi Luzella Pradesh, and Xally
Emillicia Pradesh. Em is the solar dragon slayer, and Xal is a healer and water mage." Arman confirms.
Lucy smoothly leans over the Xal to brush her lips in greeting before smiling softly at her, and Em quickly leans down when she's done to drive right in. Just as Lucy suspected Ems kiss is passionate and full of warmth, her lips although a bit chapped very full and eager. Lucy almost thought Em would try and devour her.
"I'm sorry sweetie, you're just delicious. Mmm water lillys and peaches." Em says smacking her lips.
At this Lucy does blush a bit, not one to be hit on by women seriously she is taken by surprise.
Once again though Lucy approaches Em. Standing on her tip toes she is just able to reach the taller blondes forehead. Lucy draws a little sun between Ems brows as she did Cris'.
"Solitis." Lucy whispers. Ems eyes then flash a gold color.
All she receives is a furrowed brow from Em.
Lucy responds with a warm bright smile. Stepping back she makes her way to Cris' side.
"Come, let's talk. I know you all have questions."
She waits for the whole family to get comfortable. When the whole rooms gaze rests on her just as she's about to open her mouth another person walks in the room.
It was their chef it seems, who quickly and persicely lays out six trays of cookies and one with enough cups of coffee for everyone before scurrying back away.
Lucy shakes her head before grabbing a coffee and a sugar cookie.
"So I should proabably start with the spell from Draco that I placed upon Umbra. It is something that protects the darkness in a persons magic from their soul. There was a situation once upon a time when a dear friend asked for my assistance, the love of her life was slowly losing the battle with his shadows. She was at a complete loss at what to do, the man had gone a bit crazy and I was her last hope. So I called in a favor to Stache Face and begged for any sort of assistance. I was told in order to find what I wanted one had to be in control of the twelve golden gates to access the king that guards them. I relayed the message and my friend was more than ready to hand over her keys. I did as I was instructed and called upon the keeper of the gates who was none other than Draco. The celestial dragon. He gifted me with the knowledge of his blessing to guide those who play in the dark back to the light where they belong. So in a way, Vander you will never have to worry about losing yourself to the voids or the beings that reside there." Lucy finishes before taking a big bite out of her cookie and sipping her coffee.
"Next." She asks.
"What about the thing with Cris and then Em?" Bixy asks.
"Good question Bixy. It kind of interlaces with the previous topic, since I am the keeper to the twelve golden keys I have access not only to the keeper of the gates, but access into the gates as well. That predicament when I gathered them all happened well over a year ago and since then I have been in constant contact with Draco, learning all sorts of lost stellar arts. My first question to Cris had been me asking him if he was faithful to the King, in regards to Draco who is the king of the dragons. Weird I know he's kinda like multi talented but don't let him know I admitted that. Anyways by his conformation to his faith, I asked if he was the one who wields the sword of the moon. Referring to if he was the son of Nurem, who is Draco's mate. If so that means he is her champion, her warrior. Again by Cris' conformation I brought his mark of the moon to the surface. It's like bringing a piece of his magic out to be visible, I also did that with Em for she is also a daughter of the Stars just in a different way. While Cris and I share the bond of the night, Em resides in the light however we all fall under the guidance of the Stars." Lucy finishes in a big whoosh.
It was quiet for a moment as everyone seemed to process her words. It was Arman who first accepted it and jumped up stating.
"Well that just is another reason why you were meant to be apart of the family!" Before turning to walk out of the room mumbling something along the lines of.
"Now hurry up and make one of my children fall for you..."
