We sat at the Deity's Council chamber with Guildenstern / we are having a meeting about how we could set a tighter security for all the deities, and magical folks /
"Do you think we should completely seal the gate between our realm, and human realms?" The Monarch Eagle asked and everyone gasped in horror /
"What about the gods, and deities that married humans?" Guildenstern asked "we wouldn't want to tear them apart, right?" /
"My wife had just given birth to a twin last month." we remind them /
"Maybe we can set more secure rules for all the magical folks when they enter human realms" The Lion deity suggested /
"But what about the satellite?" The shapeshifter asked "humans are trying to develop it, they will find us sooner or later if we still travel between the 2 realms with no disguise."
The Monarch Eagle nodded and looked at the magical globe that represent earth, and all the portal locations / Now we have a mechanically alien object floating around it /
"Then write this down, and publish it to all the deities, and magical folks" The Monarch Eagle command the macaw /

"To all the citizens of the Deity Land, due to the developing satellite of human realms we have no choice but to set stricter laws to ensure the safety of everyone, and our existent." I read the epistle to everyone in the village, "From now on all the citizens of the Deity Land will no longer have permission to own an estate in the human realms, but still allow travelling, and visit under this rule…
1. Always wear the disguising necklace.
2. Never reveal your true form to any adults except children.
3. Stay in the human realm no longer than 6 hours per visit.
4. Carry a memory wipe spray on every travels.
5. Always wear the portal ring.
We're not forbidding you from forming relationships with humans, but if you get captured by them, we won't be responsible for rescuing you. We know the rules are inconvenient, but it's all for your safety. We still look forward to the day that our realm could exist in harmony with humans, but it's just not today, so please follow the law for your own safety." I finished the reading, "and that's all from the Deity Council'', I told the villagers.
God! The council really went for the extreme length to cover their secret. Even though it is quite a struggle to follow all the rules, I kinda agree with them. Humans aren't ready to exist along with magic yet, honestly I don't think the whole government will ever be.
"Thank goodness we have only one deity house in our village." Alpha Mai'ana speaks to the people, "We are happy to help you move everything back to the Deity Land." she said kindly.

We packed all our stuff, and looked around one last time as the cart was waiting outside. Everything happened so fast, I can't believe that from now on we'll all be permanently settled down in the Deity Land.
"Meep Meep" the kids chirped, and I picked them up as Charley took care of the luggage.
We left the door, and looked back at the house. Whoever lives here after us I hope they have a good memory here. Dimitri threw the bags in the cart, and told the Wayanas to ride it to the Ocedor River.
At first, we considered building a house underwater in the Ocedor Village, but that might be quite unfair to Zelda, Dimitri, and Giles because they can't breathe underwater. So we build a house by the river instead with the help of the frogmen, and salamander people. So my love, and the babies can have their water, and Zelda, Dimitri, and Giles still have their air.
We look at our reflection in the water at the balcony after we wore the disguising necklace / It's so strange to see myself looking like a human but I guess I have no choice but to follow the law to keep the job / "You look nice" Elisa signed and we kissed /
"Oh my god Elisa!" we both turned around and found Zelda and Dimitri stood in shock "who are you kissing!?" Zelda shouted after we both laughed before she looked down and screamed "Why aren't you wearing any pants!?"
Oh shit! / We look down at our visible genitalia, and quickly jumps in the water / We totally forgot that human genitalia is not hidable like ours / We float up just our face and signed "Do you have any pant?" / Zelda rushed back inside, and Dimitri look at us /
"Charley!?" he gasped and we nodded /
Zelda came back with a pant, and handed it to Elisa / She handed it to us as Zelda quickly looked away as we get up from the water and put the pant on /
"So who's this beanpole you had an affair with?" Zelda asked Elisa and Dimitri nudge her /
"what!?" Zelda shout back at Dimitri and Giles joined us at the balcony /
"Wow! Charlie!" Zelda gasped after Giles immediately realized it's me /
"How!?" Zelda gasped and looked at us again "Can you try speak human language?"
We open our mouth, and tried to say 'Hello' but it came out only a chirp exactly like our true form /
"Oh, so it disguised only the form." Dimitri quickly take note /
"Well, wish you're all luck at work then." Elisa signed /
We arrived to work at the river and our co-workers looked at us in confusion / We chirped our usual greeting and they gasped /
"Charley!?" they laughed and get closer /
"Man! You're bald even in human form" our best friend commented and we're all laugh before we get back to work /
We can no longer use our true form to catch the fishes but we still understand and communicate with the fishes / So the fishes we caught are still the fishes that offers themselves willingly / Most of them are either old or depressed with no will to live so we'll end their suffer /
We arrived home with Zelda and Dimitri at 3 and took off our disguising necklace / It's so good to be back in our true form again and see our wife and children smiles everytime we come home /
Our mother and grandfather visit us every weekend and we're happy to see our mother finally warm up to our lover / Giles seems to get along well with our grandfather too and both of them interest in arts /

Time flies, and 1962 has finally ended. We kept marking the twin's height at the pillar, and now they're up to my knees! There's no surprise why they knew how to swim before they could even walk.
I don't age or change any further after I gave birth to them, but I still can transform underwater even it's just minor changes… because I still look human… but with blue fins on the side of my arms, and the back of my calf with lilac gills grow out from my neck like my lover's.
Dimitri dedicated himself to study how the life fruit chooses the deity for a human to become if they don't have a deity father like me. So on June 27, Dimitri's 37th birthday, he decided to make a decision that will change his life forever. He eats a Life Fruit cake that is made from Axxy's recipe, and becomes a deity with a large curled tail, and stunning camouflaging ability.
Axxy examined him, and confirmed that Dimittri has become a chameleon deity as they still continue their research. They can't confirm yet that my children are immortal or not, but they have predicted that my children will definitely have a longer lifespan than normal humans since they are only ⅓ human.
My two friends: Giles, and Zelda, haven't consumed a Life fruit yet, which I can't blame them for needing time. Immortality is a lifetime decision, you can't make it lightly even if it looks like only an unaging ability.

The doorbell rang, waking me, and Zelda up from our sleep. I look at her, and she replies to me with "You go" eyes. So I got up, and approached the hallway, opening the door. It's a humanoid creature with a galactic disc eyes, the Teleporter.
"Is Mr. Dupont, and Mr. Esposito here?" the Teleporter asked, "Their order has arrived." he added, and gestured to his cart.
"Oh, I'll get them for you." I replied, and got back inside the house.
I knocked on both Giles, and Charley's room, but received a "It's 7Am!" shout, and a growl from Deus.
"Your order arrived!" I shout, and they open the doors.
I wondered what they ordered, I thought as I watched them approached the Teleporter, and signed some papers.
"Thank you." Giles finished, and Charley chirped.
They closed the door, and entered the living room with 2 boxes. They giggled, and Giles whispered something to Charley before he got back inside his room. I looked at Charley in confusion as he was about to open his box, but stop, and growl at me.
"Okay." I replied, and left the room.

I sat up in the water bed, and looked at the twins, they are still sleeping. Charley didn't come back after Dimitri knocked our door, where did he go? I get myself out of the water bed, and towel myself dry before I put a dress on.
I scrunch my hair with a towel at the mirror, and then suddenly I heard an orchestra band coming from outside. I stopped, and listened to it. I'm well familiar with that song, I don't think I could ever forget it. I smiled, and left our bedroom, following the sound of music.
And there he is… standing by the window, looking down at a portable record player, playing the first song we've listened to together at Occam. He turned around, and ran his 2 fingers up his arm.
"Music." He signed with a smile, and I nodded.
He offered his hand, and I took it without any hesitation. Placing my wrists on his shoulders as he placed his both hands on my waist. We moved along with the melody, and rested our forehead on one another. It's just a simple dance, but I'm happy, I Know Why...And So Do You.
I'm sorry for the slow update, thank you for sticking around :)
