The first of the Slice Of Life Arc. This One's about Aura and Mare reconnecting after years apart. Enjoy. I don't own Overlord.Eren carried Aura right through Naserick's doorway , she had been extremely nervous about seeing everyone again after so long especially Mare. While she was being carried through the halls of Naserick Aura felt a wave of nostalgia going through her, before finally realizing that she was still in Eren's arms. She was red with embarrassment, her mind was cluttered with questions" Why is he still holding me, what if someone see's, I wonder if he's done this for anyone else, or am I the only one, please please let me at least be the first one" these thoughts and more raced in Aura head making her even more red. Finally to end the on slought of mushy feelings and thoughts Aura refusing to look Eren in the eyes asked to be put down. Eren hadn't even noticed that he was still carrying her , his face red with embarrassment ( much more visable with his pale skin) , as he finally set her down , they were both avioding eye contact or risk more awakward thoughts or interactions.
Eren had no idea why he carried her for so long, it seemed kinda natural for him to do. They then heard the excited voice call out for Aura. Mare ran to his sister , he had been so happy to see her. Aura was shocked to see how much he had grown , he was taller than her now. He actually look like a young man, she was more troubled looking at him than Eren. She still blamed herself for his death. Eren took his leave not wanting to come between Aura and Mare's reuion . "You look so tall! ",Aure exclaimed nervously. Mare had not yet realized the difference in apearence for the both of them. Mare in his early days was a cross dresser, but as his body matured Ainz suggested that he wore more traditional male garments. Mare agreed mainly because he couldn't remember why he cross dressed in the first place. As for Aura her body had become quiet womanly, and she even dressed like a woman now she couldn't remember when she traded her slacks for a skirt. " I never thought I'd see you in a skirt."Mare said jokingly. Aura scowled "What's that supposed to mean? " Mare was surprised that Aura would take ofense to something so petty. As he struggled to fine his verbal footing Aura let out a chuckle , and then a smile, she was messing with him. Suddenly Aura smiling face turned into one of sadness and guilt. She still blamed herself for what happened in the seige of Naserrick. Mare noticed her saddened look on her face and became concerned " Hey what's wrong sis?"
" Oh it's nothing .. I'm.. I'm fine" Aura lied to not cause further duress to her brother.
"Ya know I couldn't before , but now I can tell you're definitely lying to me" Mare declared with a chuckle. Aura trying to hold back her tears she found herself studdering trying to find the right words to say. "How can you even look at me, after what happened, it was my fault!" Aura said with tears running from her mixed match eyes. Mare had finally arrived at the conclusion the for the last 20 years Aura had felt responsible for his temporary death. "Go on scream at me , tell me you hate me sniff.."Aura begging to hear words she feared but thought she deserved. Mare instead pulled his sister into his arms now with tears in his eyes. and said "Oh sis, I could never hate you, and I can't let you blame yourself for something that wasn't your fault so stop blaming yourself. Ok? Aura smiled at her brother and said "Right ".
Meanwhile Eren entered his father's throne room. Ainz Ooal Gown the supreme overlord of Naserick it had not been so long that countries of men had forgotten about his submission of their kingdoms but useing magic he had decided to cause many but not all to forget the rule of the lord of Naserick.
This was history for Eren , but history sometimes makes it's return in the future.
"Eren Zeal Gown my heir and only son" Tell me are our enemies vanished? " Eren bowed his head and answered "Yes".
Ainz continued " I sensed a alarming surge of power emanating from the forests tell me was that you? Eren once again said yes. " I do believe I had made it perfectly clear that you weren't to use that form unless I gave the order to do so" Said Ainz aggressively. Eren then stood no longer bowing and spoke thusly "I know what I did was against orders father but I couldn't restrain myself when Aura was injured, and if I had to do it again I would. " Ainz stared at his son and saw the intensity in his golden eyes and began to laugh. "My how you've grown and that is why I think it is time I complete complete your training " said Ainz with laughter. Then from the shadows came leaping out tackling her son Albedo. "Oh my baby boy is home , was your journey rough, did you get hurt, do I have to make someone pay for hurting my Erenzeal!?! Eren struggling to breathe then spoke"No mom I am... fine ... can't breathe. Aura then step into the room and bowed to his master. Hello my lord she said. Aura is that you I hardly recognized you you've grown into a beautiful Young woman? Said Albedo. Thank you lady Albedo. My lord the mission was a resounding success and I would like to return here if you'll allow me to? Aura said nervously. Ainz spoke saying "Aura we have said many times that we wished you to return to us sooner, but you always declined because you took this mission personally is it because it's finished or you truly wish to come home.? Aura bowed once more "both and neither I wish to reconnect and connect with all in Naserick both old and new I've missed so much I have alot of catching up to do. And I'd like to aid you with your lordship's Son Eren." Ainz knew something must have happened to form a invisible bond between Aura and Eren he could feel they're glances at one another from across the room. " I Ainz Ooal Gown will allow this , but first let the next week be a time of reconnecting and recovery " Eren bowed his head and said "Thank you father.
Albedo whispered to Lord Ainz "Maybe we should do some reconnecting before she's due" holding her stomach...
