Announcement:
If you see this, I am sorry for not updating this as well, as after this, would be the Newer Version of Game of Realms to be worked on, and the few other lower chapters of my fics needing to be updated, besides an eventual set of chapters for "Beauty and the Witch Sister".
I also plan to add other characters as well into this fic to maybe be Traya's friend's also, and perhaps a certain group of girls that may or may not be within a similar title to this fic as well. And I also plan to add a few other Anime Characters.
So yes, as a reminder, this is a Hotel Transylvania (all 3 as #4 has yet to come out and will be on January 14th of 2022 for Amazon Prime Members, not sure on other, and I will probably go on a binge) and a Harry Potter (female) Crossover, mostly, with hints of other works and whatnot that contains Monsters.
Example: Monster High, Goosebumps, etc… (some inspiration from other works on the site, but can't recall what or who they were, and other sources as well that do exist). Plus, expect hints of specific characters from my other fics to be in this as well, as a forewarning, but differently to not their own fics.
I also noticed the minor errors and I do plan to rectify that whenever I post these chapters into Fanfiction.
Now… On with the story!
Soulmates/Zing for Traya, Mentioned: 3/10 Currently (with new ones in these upcoming chapters to either make 4-5/10, or just 4/10) and going to do some moments before the actual movie begins, and then do a small-time skip to the actual movie itself only slightly in my own style, and to make up for the wait, it will be several chapters (so possibly expect the full 1st movie within this also).
Though if it's most likely two new girls… Well with one considered being both genders as a hint (due to the town they ruled being sealed with all inhabitants, and those they knew, via a deal long ago). They're both were or are carefully picked for an alternative take of where they came from, but would still be the same person, and yet, would be stuck within Traya's Verse.
The reason being 3/10 is due to Sakura Igawa being Shared with not only Traya but with her rival/lover ninja in this Fic, if that explains things as yes, even Traya's Girls will have their own Soulmates… Well, not all of them but only a select few, to which Ophis isn't one of them.
But there are quite a few certain girls from a certain person I thought were very well designed of said girls I plan to use, like maybe a pairing or big-sister role to the main character, and maybe go with an idea from a random person (meaning a guest viewer) of giving my Main Character "Alt. Evil Pieces", and that's all I'm spoiling for ya, and do expect the "Hell" Characters to get involved in this story, and specific others due to one's crazy action's.
Though after the first movie, I plan to add some minor arcs to a few things as such, and then do something unexpected to get to the plot within the second movie. And more as well after the second, third and fourth movies.
There is, however, during the aftermath of the first movie and during, from an unexpected twist as such, especially since it will involve Traya as well, as it would be requested, and I liked the idea.
Anyways, enjoy the current chapters as once I get the first to third movies, I will update it with the plot chapters for them.
A week later, November 12 (on a Saturday), 2011, within Hotel Transylvania:
A few things transpired during Traya's small coma she was formerly placed under as she was being taught to read a few days or so at a time, by both Mavis and Wanda.
Traya was unblocked a few days or so ago from Sakura, to which a sigil was revealed on her hand matching her birthmark that Traya has.
The four ninja girls themselves got used to staying in the monster-filled castle/hotel and even got to understand Mavis to the point she has friends now, besides her family… In which Asagi gave birth to her baby girls… Twins, in fact.
To mention, one looked exactly like a Younger Saya, and the other was a futa-based little girl being a perfect mix of Asagi, Sakura, and Murasaki, and they were present with the tired mother as we speak, and Asuka was at this moment attending to Baby Danielle since Mavis and Dracula were busy.
Speaking of Sakura, she still regrets what she has committed to her older sibling, alongside her comrade/shared soulmate, as even though she was healing still alongside being aware, Asagi still winces whenever she pats her gently on the arm or back.
If Sakura could, she would have slain Obero herself for what she has accomplished to her in both the good and bad characteristics of things.
Murasaki was now with Asuka as she was multitasking on the developments of maybe a house nearby, alongside overseeing the one project Dracula placed them in charge of assembling for the next few months, and to get done as fast as possible, along with the terms of that the count himself acknowledged that deal and was in the process as preparing the project was a side-like mansion nearby the hotel itself; for what he agreed to, in the middle of the water, along with another side-bridge connecting to the main path nearby the hotel.
Ciel and Sebastian have also been bestowed the title of "Side-Assistants" to Dracula if he was, in fact, ever too busy with Hotel Management and in terms, that made them Assistant Managers of the hotel itself.
Ophis also made from her power a non-moving yet floating small castle in the sky to call home that's close to at least a thousand feet in the air (to where the airplanes and whatnot, won't see it), and it was non-detectable by any mortal means except monster, angel, or demon kind since she provided a heads-up on that in which she was nowadays looking into things within the place.
In fact… Angela and Sebastian were starting to date after an accident with Traya showing them they were soulmates from the start.
Jazz has hung out additionally with the ninja's, and was presently thinking of attempting to be the first-ever "Mummy Ninja", and it was mainly to safeguard what was hers, like Sakura, since it was also unanimous until Traya was old enough and begin to notice things at or when she learns, primarily to everyone she was soulmates to, would be considered her "Big Sister's" as those she preferred to call by title, would be that, uncle, brother, sister, or aunt.
All in all, things have been running smoothly for the most part.
Traya was at this sense and time, was working out her studies with Sebastian himself as Angela assisted with Mavis over something, and Ciel was also with the butler and child as it was courses on complicated math.
"Now Little One, what is two plus two?" Sebastion inquired to make Traya's face scrunch up cutely while sitting at her dark-oak school desk with some parchment and some pencils nearby her, and then expressed the word, "Is it, um… Four?"
Sebastion beamed at her for this as he knew like Ciel, that they can be scarcely firm with her at times when she isn't paying attention, otherwise, Ophis would have their heads as such, "Good, now expand four extra to that," Sebastion noted to her as Traya commenced to only think for a few moments before declaring the number, "Eight?"
"It comes across that you are getting the hang of tricky math of addition and subtraction, Little One. You are correct." Sebastian states to make Traya tint at him for, and Ciel to roll his unconcealed eye at while not only reading a book he swiped from the Hotel's Library (yes they do have one in this fic) but privately smiled small at the child, as she was somewhat like him when he was her age.
Traya beamed at the demonic butler before giving him a pout as he was rubbing her hair affectionately as she informed him in a voice to understand she didn't mind it yet noticing Ciel was gazing, hid his amusement by her fake complaint, "Uncle Sebby, you remember I don't like my hair touched… It tends to get sloppy easily."
Indeed after it did while she unknowingly was utilizing her magic to instantly straighten it out back to normal, to only amuse the demons, "But of course. Then yet again… How would I phrase it for a job well done?" Sebastian wittily informed her.
Before Traya could answer, they all glanced at the entrance of the door, and Traya beamed while discovering it was Sakura and made said ninja fall by the incredible strength the child still had with her tail swishing back and forth in welcoming her, and not glimpsing Ceil giving Sebastian an amused grin as the demonic butler closed the book he had in his hand, and gently placed it on the table.
"It's nice to see you too, Squirt," Sakura states softly while holding back a wince as she rubbed her hands through the child's hair to make Sebastian raise an eyebrow from an amused Ciel, yet they comprehended she only would allow her "Sister's" to touch her hair than anyone else, which also included Dracula and Mavis as they were true kin, to the child's orbs.
Traya allowed her to get up as Sebastian stared at the female ninja curiously when he raised a question and was also starting to put things away and at the same time, sensing his lessons are over for the day, "Do you perhaps care to illustrate as to why you are here, presently, Lady Sakura?"
Sakura then frowned at that term as she was still getting used to the designation alongside her shared soulmate, Murasaki, and remembered that Asuka was also tending to things on the one project Dracula wanted to be done, with other monster's joining in, and it was due to the status of Traya being a Princess.
To pause on that for a moment to slightly elucidate, Dracula indeed took Traya five days ago to the Goblins while undercover to not draw suspicions to further handle things, and as it also turned out: She was descended from the very own "Arthur Pendragon" (well, to what the lore states as such person), and quite a few others that were hardly recorded in history.
And also due to that, the Goblins rationalized to the vampire that any of her soulmates, too, fall under the royalty stature as a "Princess or Lady".
They, however, denied Dracula to see her full test again as, from their words, it was self-updating and would always update, and she would have to be via her exact age, eleven, to see it once again as the last time it was a rule for personal matters.
After that, she would have to have a yearly check up for her test.
Now back to the story.
"I just came to fetch her as my sister wanted to see who Traya was at last." And maybe having My Girl, be some aid to start the process of having Asagi no longer fear me, and also get back her utter trust again as I truly hate that one woman, with all my heart, for what she made me do. Sakura added briefly as an afterthought while noticing the demonic butler nod to her once as if he anticipated this to happen sooner or later.
"Very well. You may take her… However," Sakura let out a slight gulp while glancing at Traya to see she was distracted and not noticing Sebastion's eyes shifted to crimson, glowing red a few times at her as he resumed speaking, "Please keep in mind of Lady Traya's upbringing as well, and to not spoil her developing mind."
Sakura nodded before leading Traya away as Ciel then made Sebastian pause before holding the urge to facepalm by his words then, "You normally make them wait it out while finishing whatever you plan to teach… You've gone utterly soft."
With Traya and Sakura, the two were still roaming the halls as they passed a few guests and 'Do-Not-Disturb' Shrunken Heads since they were eventually within the Lobby.
There they saw Asagi by herself and staring at the nearby fireplace as she was holding her children in distraction and also sitting down, and was breastfeeding them.
She was not wearing her ninja gear though, and wore mainly a plain lavender nightgown that was meant for comfort.
Asagi soon saw her sister though and suppressed the urge to run as they approached, and things were awkward between them before both sisters glanced at Traya, as she softly raised a question while gazing at the babies, "Can I hold them?"
Asagi was wary still but the vibe she felt from the child was trustworthy, of sorts, and Sakura wordlessly got a chair nearby and placed it next to Asagi's right, and carefully placed, after burping them, her two children within Traya's arms.
While oddly enough, observing her two children lit up once their cute orbs saw Traya made her hide a small smile, it was once again awkward as Sakura stood next to her as she once again gazed at the fireplace.
"I'm still sorry, Onee-san (Big Sister)... You realize this," Sakura started while Asagi only nodded with her looking at her wordlessly, "You understand I and Murasaki-Chan were changed and controlled the entire time and would still have been that way if it wasn't for that man executing what he did. You understand fully well I wouldn't have done all that, as I and Murasaki-Chan had done to you if we were aware."
Asagi saw Traya was still distracted with making cute faces to her twins, and sighed and uttered softly to her as she glanced at her sister and knew the aspects of why they were as Ninja, but the way things went nearly made her an almost permanent slave, to her mind… "I understand. It took time for me to recover from the effects of being a Slave, but I can't help at times to what went and happened, Imoto-san (Little Sister), to still be fearful."
Sakura sighed as she understood her Big Sister and briefly gazing at the fraternal, blood-shared twins as it turned out the one resembling her sister, herself and Murasaki, was, in fact, theirs while the other was the product of another done in private by Obero for primarily a bastardized child yet thanks to Aeroza, that too failed, reshaped, and from hints of recalling her by the infant's eyes, reincarnated. "Yet at least you got what you wanted, Onee-San: A few decent and healthy children out of all the mess we've been through."
Asagi wordlessly nodded at that while hiding her half-amused orbs as Traya was allowing her children to numb on her fingers, and guessed she would be a good sitter or sister figure when their older before she conceded softly in response, withholding the impulse to flinch by Sakura's gentle touch on her left shoulder, in support, "Indeed, that's true."
Asagi then saw the gaze Sakura had and was half-amused at her this time to make Sakura merely nod by her next soft-spoken words, "So you do have a thing with this child?"
"Yes, Onee-San. I and Murasaki share her as shared soulmates… Whatever that means, and she might be your sister-in-law as well in some years." Sakura confided her quietly as they watched as Traya made the two babies laugh by making a weird face, and made Asagi think about this before she decided to change the subject and asked her, in suspicion, which Sakura looked like she didn't appear to deny, "You also plan to train her as a ninja?"
Sakura only shook her head a wordless 'Yes' before expressing to her elder sibling, "That and combined with other training for her intelligent growth and stuff her butler and maid plans to give her, alongside everyone else in the castle, she would be fine by herself when she gets older."
Asagi nodded at that before glancing at her sister one last time as she took the two babies back from Traya and skillfully saw the child's signs of secretive anxiety, and made Sakura hesitate before nodding wordlessly with a small smile, "Make sure you go easy on her until she gets to a certain point, as I don't want my children's Godmother to be understood as ruthless."
Sakura was now leading Traya to the graveyard while blinking back a surprise at catching sight of Murasaki waiting for her with the female ninja sharpening her weapon before noticing them, and placed it gently down and claiming to her, in realizing, from her mind sharply recognizing the situation, "So her training starts today?"
Sakura only nodded while Traya was puzzled by what they meant, but soon regretted it as they made her do some exercises to loosen her muscles and things for the next thirty minutes until they perplexed her a bit as she was slowly recovering from her workout they gave her, and privately astonishing them to have her be, in fact, a person worthy of constant training and recovery, by discerning weapons the staff, and out of Dracula's reluctance, for her weapon training.
It was all training equipment for what a ninja of any gender would need, and all the weapons provided, thanks to the Zombie Staff.
"Ok, just pick one up and try it out." Was all Sakura states to Traya as she warily nodded before going over and picking up some nunchaku and was swinging it around and it looked like she was getting the hang of- The two females winced as Traya hit her head with the first nunchaku several times while not flinching yet they saw tears forming into her eyes, and took it from her.
The child then attempted several different weapons that thankfully won't harm her at least for the next hour, until they were shocked at her picking up a practice katana and was using it childishly yet without problems, and with her posing after actually being good at the polearm as well, ten minutes after, and easily caught the practice battle fan with rookie movements to realize she could be trained in specific weapons, but not all.
"Ok, I think we get enough for what we plan to train you in," Murasaki states while observing Traya stare sheepishly as she accidentally groined Sakura with the end of the polearm, and she only smiled while hiding a wince from Murasaki taking the practice weapon away as to mention it, it took several conversations with the Count and Owner of the hotel, and he caved after acknowledging it would protect his newest child as such.
So yes, they got permission to train her, but it had to be on the hotel grounds to do so.
Sakura was about to retort until she hid a yelp by being accidentally tripped by Traya's tail, and both shared a glance as Sakura got up, and realized that she may have her hands full, but it would be worth it to also train Traya's tail as well, and her body, for her benefit.
As the Zombies were taking care of the practice weapons and placing them all into a nearby shed, Sakura and Murasaki were then leading the semi-tired Traya to the castle-like hotel, and without warning, she was unexpectedly yanked by an ivory-colored vine and screamed their names as they rushed after her, and chased Traya all over the forest.
Not realizing it, Ciel saw this from the nearby window and Sebastian took off while he went to tell Dracula who might have her.
After almost or close to several minutes had passed, Traya was essentially losing her voice by how much she was screaming as the tentacle-like vine dragged her into a clearing with it bare except for drawn runes in a bizarre language, and dropped her within the center as a barrier was produced.
Sakura and Murasaki managed to make it in time before the outer entrance of the cave itself was blocked, and into the chamber.
They were instantly stunned by what they were seeing, and who was controlling said creature: It was Obero, but she was different than ever before and was gently patting a plant-like demonic hound of sorts with four vine-like tentacles on its central sides.
"So you wrench managed to keep up with my pet's actions after all… Stupid failures to my previous plans," Obero tells them, discovering her eyes were not normal as they were all black with a pure white slitted pupil alongside crimson-orange mixed irises.
Obero then smirked before lightly tapping the shield that Traya was in to make Murasaki hold Sakura back in place, as Traya held her ears as if something loud was emitted in moments before telling them then with a glare, "I was suffering within the eternal pit of what could be described as to my actions of Hell itself, after that man slain me, but I was redeemed by another person who… Let's say, interested in many things including to my delight by witnessing your actions, this bizarre child." Obero smirked once she saw they'd widened their eyes at her.
Obero snapped her fingers before smirking still as more of those beasts came out of the darkness the location had and swarmed her gently as she petted each one, and it was at this point both Sebastian and Ciel arrived and saw this with narrowed eyes at recognizing the beasts themselves, and not seen to them all, there was something around their chests to that of a familiar symbol, of sorts.
Obero noticed them and wordlessly gestured to the four as the beasts alongside the one that took Traya, charged and they began defending themselves before she turned to the child who was gazing at her fearfully by her words she barely heard from the shield itself, "Now… Let's see why you are desired by that man, hmm?"
With the others, they were defending themselves as the four creatures kept on sending vine-like whips at them to avoid physical contact, and they only regrew if they were hacked or worse.
"They are endlessly keeping us from her!" Sakura shouted with her almost getting stabbed as she didn't curve-dodge in time, as Murasaki and the two demons were in quick wordless agreement and with them also trying to proceed faster, due to hearing the child's unexpected scream back to where she was trapped.
It seemed that the beasts were also making it they were being moved further back then forwards to their goal, for the next several minutes before they blinked at an unexpected pitch-black fireball blasted easily one of the four creatures to startle them and scatter as in the air, it was a ticked off Ophis and with her commenting calmly to make all four sweatdrop to themselves then, "I was sleeping until I felt energy being wasted, and find out that she was taken."
I would rather not be her current rage, and am glad she's an ally. Sakura thought quickly to herself as she and the others blasted and slashed/spelled the other three to bits… Only to make Ophis numbly blink and the group to take a few steps back as the remains of those three converged.
The three became a more giant and demonic-looking Cerberus-type monster.
The new beast let out a trio of echoing roars at them before sending vines into the ground, and made the four dodge everywhere and with Ophis playing keep-away in sudden moments of a shadowy orb projected from the center head at her with the use of an extra vine, and her wings, as tennis rackets in an empowered ping-pong match.
With Traya, with the barrier lowered, she was holding back her screams at this point to not get Obero the satisfaction of showing pain, to rather impress the female herself, as she extracted her blood after she purposely hit her and even punched the child's gut, hard, to lower her defenses.
The woman though was rather intrigued by the color of the blood itself as it was the color of a fiery-like green yet kept it to herself as she pocketed the contained vial, and soon darkly chuckled and made the child soon looked to be close to passing out from extracting more and more blood from her by a forced needle made from rare metal.
With the others, they managed to get the beast to be panting as it looked to be close to the point of passing out, and their victory was short-lived as Sakura and Murasaki were startled along with the two demons by a barrier Ophis projected when it sent an immense purplish beam that, thankfully, didn't hit the hotel but overhead of it.
"This thing is starting to anger me equally," Ciel admits once the barrier died down with them being tied by a barrier that absorbed the energized attacks of Sebastian and even Ophis, to make her calmly blink with secretly stunned eyes at that.
Though they all narrowed their orbs at the three heads chuckling like a raspy hyena after it dropped before they dodged the three-way breaths of red, green, and dark blue ethereal flames from their maws that left scorch marks on the ground, and after it did a full three-sixty degree circle, it howled loudly as it sent more vines into the ground, and from the energy, it secretly absorbed to be stronger, unexpectedly and swiftly wrapped all five into the energy-draining-based vines.
Everyone was holding back screams of immense pain from the creature soon growing bigger and bigger until it was at least eighty feet tall and without realizing it, squeezed Sakura to the point she indeed screamed loud enough to be heard everywhere.
Where Traya was, despite her pain and weakness at the time with Obero extracting the very last few previous bloody fluids from the child, froze from hearing Sakura's pained and agonizing scream with her vision clouded by imagining a scene just like how she thought her Mama perished, but by that beast.
Traya's birthmark slowly began to glow alongside her eyes, as she instantly snapped.
(Play; separated so you have to enter into site: " youtu . be / PLyi5xHtkb0 ; Precipice of Defeat ")
Obero, with her enhanced vision activated, didn't realize anything was wrong with the child as she wickedly grinned from seeing the creature draining the power and energy from those fools, and enjoying Sakura's screaming… Until she blinked and paled as she looked before backing away from the child's revealing greenish and silvery mixed aura with bits of blue and red, covering Traya's prone form.
Traya trembled in place with her eyes glowing an ethereal green as her body then shook in place, and for once, Obero was becoming rarely fearful at how much energy and power was emitting from the child herself within moments, the injection wounds healing alongside blood flow, as she began to partially change, despite as she was doing so, a darkness-based mist partially emitting from said energy as well, combined.
Her size grew by a few inches with her figure toning a bit alongside seeing her hands and fingers tremble before hearing sharp sounding cracks as they extended a bit with her tips further extending into sinister and very sharp claws with perfected daintiness to them, her ears more pronounced, her teeth slightly sharper and larger before they all fell and disintegrated into ash as more perfected yet sharper teeth grew in place.
To mention, her teeth had grown out, becoming pointed and sharp, perfect for ripping flesh from the bone as the canines had grown even bigger than the rest, always sticking out from her mouth as if warning her prey to her true nature hidden behind the façade of a regular girl.
The child herself was soon slowly laughing crazily as she stayed in place as with each passing second, that aura growing denser and denser.
The gemstone on her head while laughing then went into her to soon develop lines similar to Sakura Haruno's Creation Rebirth aspect all around her body with ease, and sadly, permanently just like branded tattoos with easily avoiding them, and she gradually grew a decent yet slightly perky and jiggly C-Cup, since her appearance was closer to when she was eleven or twelve, now.
Her previous horns with her laughing even more insanely then fell off and turned to dust before even better ones started to grow within moments from within the sides and front of her hairline, and with the larger ones being around the sides of her head. The smaller black ivory colored and singular horn was around the top of her forehead as being perfectly cute and curved in a cute devil-like style and with barely seen Latin runes all around it, and the two equal-sized ones were the same color but were rigid and front-swept curved perfectly to almost make them look like a horn-based crown, and they, too, had barely seen runes as well, but on the sides.
An ethereal mist soon began leaking like flames from her eyes as the dense power and darkness slowly went back into her body, with her transformation finished.
Traya calmly stood still with minor hints of laughter and stopped sharply and creepily gazed at Obero in a crazed look that unnerved the revived clone to her core before backing up a few steps in actual terror as by mere gaze alone, it seemed like the child was no longer aware of herself and also something sinister manifested in her place.
Whatever was going on with Traya, caused her to freeze up and soon sharply turned to the sound direction of where she heard Sakura scream once more, and vanished.
Obero, however, fled into a vortex of sorts before that closed up to eventually being chewed out by not nabbing the child.
(Stop music/finish music)
With the others outside the castle, Dracula and Mavis, and specific monsters felt the unnatural shift farther out within the barrier they have failed to enter to retrieve the child and the five that were trapped within, blinked, as one moment they were all outside, and the next, they were all inside the castle by the unexplainable flash that went off in mere seconds with the doors refusing to open.
The reason was the five being rather stunned and wary of Traya's improved look and with her sending flashing energy of light where the castle was before vanishing and appearing right in front of the beast.
Everyone was rather stunned by a brief dark mist from the sharp kick she accomplished to send the creature flying into the air and breaking trees and more in its forced path, she landed perfectly before zooming fast with the vines disintegrating and freeing the others as they landed harshly onto the ground.
"I will be going back to bed." Ophis simply told them to get them irked at the Nothing Drake as she indeed vanished from her spot near them, and the two demons knowing better than the females remaining, took off after Traya and with Sakura feeling growing dread, followed them with her shared rival and soulmate, right behind her.
With the child herself, she wasn't in control of her own body as she felt like she was watching over someone else's eyes as she kept attacking the beast itself to cause actual damage and even finding a random mountain she knocked it into to leave a dent, and entered, as in unusual and unnatural coincidence, the mountain itself resembles a demonically shaped demon formation with water easily flowing from the two eye-like caves by being made of mixed stones, naturally, and into a nearby river to the far right of it.
Traya managed to sway to the left after the creature and she arrived at a large clearing within the mountain itself with decaying ruins easily being shown, before she let out an actual roar from being sent harshly back into a few decaying statues that looked to be griffins, and they easily shattered before entering with another hole into a random decaying building.
The creature chuckled its three heads as the child shook off the dust and rubble off before she soon charged with a roar, and without warning, chomped severely on the creatures' left neck to make it stumble before righting itself and tried grabbing her with no avail, and began to spin in a constant three-sixty circle with the others eventually seeing this as what appeared to be chlorophyll-based blood was dripping from the maw of Traya herself, the longer she held on.
"Rather impressive for a Youngling unlocking most of her full-bodied appearance and form." Sebastian tells them in a mesmerized tone before halting them and gestures wordlessly to the floor and to the walls of the place to see, there were traps, "I suggest careful measures as whoever once thrived here, left behind purpose traps for a reason to guard something."
Sakura gave a look before they all blinked at witnessing Traya then get sent after losing her bite-based grip at leaving a wound on the beast's neck, and into another decayed building that made them duck and glanced warily at seeing enchanted darts on the wall closer to them, from activating a random trap.
The three-headed creature shook before noting their presence, and roared at them and soon roared in pain after heavily stomping a few times, of Traya once again chomping at a spot, but this time, on its back with her claws keeping her in place as the four began dodging its rampant charging.
Not only that, they were dodging more activated traps by this: More darts, flame throwers, and even acidic enclosed balls that melted more structures or buildings.
Without warning as it was too late for Ciel to shout it, the floor began to collapse after the creature jumped and landed harshly to send them all way, way down into a very massive and vast underground cavern with hints of more of this lost civilization.
Traya wasn't still herself as she was sent a few feet away from the falling beast as the two demon servants sent a dart of constant energy at the creature, and with Sakura and Murasaki leaping over the falling stones and deactivated trap floors to manage to attack it with weapons, and the child herself was free falling.
The four quickly moved from each other with wary eyes from Traya sending a beam-like laser from her open maw to only see the creature easily deflect it and the attack, unexpectedly, was moving all around the area to cause more debris to fall.
Traya then vanished and once again chomped the creature, but this time on the sensitive part of one of its tails, and made the creature roar as all four demons landed gracefully on their feet… The beast being unlucky as it landed on its side, and Traya being sent with a chunk of the bark-like tail into a random structure resembling of a warrior facing against something unexplained, and shattered it with the child soon hitting her head, and instantly passing out as the four began to fight the three-headed creature.
All four soon blocked the unexpected and enraged assault the creature had started with, going through ruined buildings and structures with vines to know this place was abandoned for a long, long time.
"You two go find a way out of this immense location. Master Phantomhive and I will deal with this… Thing." Sebastian states with his eyes closed and a smile at the two but understands instantly it was an order, not a request, and Sakura easily hefted Traya and began randomly moving further away from the upcoming battle.
"This place is like a shifting maze, Sakura!" Murasaki exclaimed quietly to her lover/rival as she watched her tending to the healing bump on the child's head as she nodded as from leaving the two male demons to deal with the creature.
Traya was still passed out as from whatever happened to her enraged state, seemed to have passed, and was deeply sleeping with minor body twitches now and then in Sakura's hold.
"I have to agree, Murasaki-Chan… It seems endless." Sakura replied in return as the duo soon saw they came to a large tunnel of sorts and figured maybe it was better than merely walking around randomly while knowing that they were lost.
However, as they reached the end of the tunnel… It was not what they were expecting.
It contained a massive, black obsidian temple that was mixed with several religious cultures in the design of both an Egyptian pyramid and Mayan/Aztec combined, perfectly, and with the statues representing several gods or goddesses with seeing signs of age as well from them, and the structure, to know no one besides them as of now, has been back to this location for a very long time.
"Well, this is unexpected," Sakura tells Murasaki as they switched holding Traya as she got her weapon out as, despite the layout, she knew that the other fellow kunoichi was more tired than her with the female knowing she won't admit it, as it felt like they were being watched.
Without warning, Sakura managed to block an incoming large kunai that dispersed itself via darkness that was aimed at her, from her blade easily slicing it.
They soon saw a strangely fully cloaked black figure with unusual metallic lining with black gloves holding more in threes in the left hand as in the right, was a chain demonic-looking crimson scythe for eased carrying and throwing.
To mention, the person was also taller than them and had a male build, and was on the very top of the ancient temple. Besides what was mentioned from the cloak, there was also polished black runed plating around the shoulders that resembled flames and clouds.
"Murasaki. Take Traya inside and find out where the exit is… I recall things when I was still in school," Sakura told her firmly with no bite to it, yet was guarded before answering the unheard question by her look, and hesitated and eventually took off just as the person vanished before appearing a few yards or so away from Sakura herself.
Sakura and the person were soon facing each other while slowly circling as well, and their weapons were drawn to either block or attack. She was then confused when the person stood in place with their weapons still showing and began to chuckle under the hood and then responded cooly to her as if she hadn't figured who they were, and by the voice, it was filtered. "I am rather surprised you don't recognize me, at all."
"Am I supposed to know from a foe I am about to defeat?" Sakura remarked with her stance showing she was prepared for anything to impress the person, but she wasn't prepared to see the person lower their hood to reveal someone of her youth, of her past, as she states in utter disbelief, "It can't be… How are you alive?!"
With Murasaki, she was avoiding more traps with being irked by how deep of a sleeper Traya was, and managed to cover her as she dodge rolled a massive wave of darts and arrows and blinked once their way out was shut harshly as she saw the room itself.
It was large enough to be considered a perfectly preserved throne room in a gothic style with what was hinted of the temple and hid back the urge to shiver at indeed seeing a massive skeleton to a humanized jackal of sorts in mixed garbs fully into the dark looking throne, and the skull itself gazing forwards.
Though, what was unnerving the female in question was the feeling its empty eye sockets were fully focused on them.
It was then Murasaki glanced down at Traya to secretly relax her only slightly as she began to wake up, and once she did, hid the urge to sweatdrop by her innocent words she stated from seeing the bones, "Why is the dog man like that?"
"Never mind that, Traya-Chan. What we need is to figure out a way to leave this place." Murasaki informed her as she carefully placed her down and was lucky that the child herself has yet to see herself yet, but blinked at her head-tilted question after she was settled, "Why?"
"Because we are trapped in this maze-like place." She told her without trying to sound blunt and began looking for a way out with her making the child soon pouting of sorts, as she sat nearby the throne and began to watch Murasaki look around for at least a secret passage.
Not known to them as Traya was watching the female ninja look for a way out of this sealed chamber, the skeletal head of the jackal slowly looked at the child, to which she paused and turned right as the head looked back to normal.
Traya did a cute thinking look before looking back at the skeleton as when she turned away, it looked back to her.
The child did this several times before she backed away from it and Murasaki quickly grabbed her as when it rose from the throne, a large cavern revealed itself behind it, and with no choice, took off deeper as the undead entity chased them.
They avoided Murasaki easily carrying Traya to do so, the unexpected dark blasting energy orbs the undead entity sent at them with minor explosions with each impact caused.
The duo eventually managed to get to the end of the tunnel as to the female demon ninja's brief surprise, it was a vast clearing with further ahead, a massive canyon with more landmass to what appeared to be a supernatural-based temple made from mainly obsidian and black-and dulled metals in similarities to the previous, but more cared for and tall pillars at each corner that held an immense sphere-like clear diamond with unnatural glowing emitting within.
Murasaki quickly placed Traya down with her pointing hastily to her right, and the child knew better, quickly ran as the female kunoichi intercepted the undead jackal's attempts to reach the child, and kept blocking its clawed strikes with her weapon with ease.
After clashing another time to make it seven, Murasaki gritted her teeth slightly with seeing the glowing eyes of the undead jackal entity raspily chuckle at her as if it knew it was stronger then her, and then shoved her away with enrage showing in those glowing orbs at sharply gazing, and Murasaki blinking as she slowly got up with a wince, of seeing it was Sebastian with the spine of the undead entity holding a sharp butter knife within it, and saw Ciel was nowhere to be seen, with him looking serious about the situation.
"Lady Murasaki, I highly suggest you leave this to me, and go aid Ciel to where Lady Traya is at. As the only way to pass this is by defeating this construct." Sebastian informed her by seeing he was going into a stance and nodded as she took off, and he for once grinned at the undead entity roared at him, and the male demon's eyes glowing for a moment, "This shall be worth the wait."
With Traya, she was running alongside Ciel carrying her due to how extremely weak she was, as she, moments earlier by her power, and accidently that is, brought a legion of lesser soldier undead jackals back as a power sapping trap being tripped, and was chasing them this entire time.
"Sorry…" Traya weakly apologized as Ciel was panting and almost tripped and avoiding a thrown curved blade that struck the ground by one of them, and said nothing as he was soon near a turn to the canyon itself to realize the canyon was protecting the other single landmass within the center, and hid a smirk at seeing most tripped over themselves as they were still pursuing them.
"Just be more aware, alright? We just need to lose them." Ciel firmly told her without bite to know he wasn't angry with her causing this issue, and gazed ahead with a sudden idea at seeing some random pillars of rock and stone ahead, and told her to perplex the child then, "When I tell you to, hang onto me as I have been meaning to try this new attack I have been secretly working on."
As they were approaching the formations, Ciel's hands began glowing a dark blueish color and the child quickly latched onto his back, from her moving hastily to do so, "Now!"
Ciel used his power to stretch his arms and easily slashed the sides of the pillars with his raw energy, and it quickly spread throughout the rock formations and as the horde of undead dogs were coming… They began to inwardly explode and very swiftly, fall and destroy them in one fell swoop, as unseen to them, they were all disintegrating into black sandy dust.
His confident smirk falters in a mere second from seeing the black sand began to swirl and converge into a very large, four armed, and very armored undead humanoid jackal that let out a deep chuckle before roaring right at them, and Ciel ran even more with the merged entity in high pursuit.
Further behind them, Murasaki hid her surprise at being able to jump high enough to bypass all the rubble yet narrowed her eyes as she soon sped up from seeing the enlarged entity summoned scimitars in each of its hands, and began attacking randomly behind Ciel and Traya.
She got her weapon ready as she sprinted further with seeing Ciel and Traya being separated from each other and about to strike them until she made it let out a roar of unexpected pain as she managed to leap, and started slashing its filmy hide with sand being dispersed with each slash, and leaped up and dived to the top of its head with the weapon's sharp edges glowing, and easily landed into her feet without much of a problem, and held her weapon away from her.
The entity stood there for several moments before it began to disperse into a rapid stream of black sand that soon swept the three away and to the one temple within mere seconds, and forcibly inside.
Once they were shoved to the heart of the location, Murasaki was wrapped up in a filmy-like goop like Ciel was as Traya was laying on the ground when they were attached to a wall.
"Well, from one problem to another." Ciel deadpanned aloud as if he was used to this, and Murasaki glared at him before freezing like he did as the air within the room lowered a few degrees before lighting up to reveal, to stun them, that they were placed into a large throne-based tomb of sorts.
The decoration of the entire area matched with the temple's theme, royally, and a throne made of mixed weapons and stone was shown within the center and was several feet away from the child on the ground. The statues were a mix of myth animals and cultures around stone pillars with the walls having ancient mixed languages and writing.
However, that was not the most worrying part. There was a large entity with a closed fist to the face, gazing at them all while holding an unusual staff weapon of sorts as the aura dissipated to reveal it was something similar to the undead jackals they encountered, but was not undead and more humane looking.
She was at least twenty-five and a half feet tall due to the size of said throne, and looked to have a toned-slender and slim figure with a decent hourglass look.
Her body and description, to mention, was mainly humane looking while covered in scarce mixed battle armor that was both dull-gold and black metallic material and colors that only covered her shoulders, half of her torso to reveal not only an ankh-shaped hole for her impressive and large G-Cup cleavage to her natural lightly bronze skin tone, but also hints of showing underneath her breasts as well. The armor she wore also showed her slightly toned midsection and thighs, as her boots resembled to a gothic vibe with the toes open to show she had wolf-like toes, and she had clawed fishy's on her dainty hands. She indeed had jackal-based ears on the sides of her head, and she had a delicate yet cute looking face with wide slitted golden-amber eyes alongside emerald around the pupils in a seeable ring, and a button nose with sharp teeth, and on her exposed right arm was a tattoo of hazard flames that swirled around from her hand to her shoulder blade.
This was someone who was sent away for safety reasons so long ago as she was the daughter of two different gods made into a semi-immortal demigod, and was given a command to at least six-hundred and sixty-six soldiers by her birth father.
This was Nefertiti, as she was named after one of her father's former mortal friends that passed away by now, and has been sealed within this land and underground place as well, as she's mainly around her twenties in looks, but she is exactly 3,021 years old.
"Seems mortals have been able to access my sealed domain." Nefertiti calmly stated mainly to herself as she was the only one to see the hidden power that was scarcely emitting from Traya's prone frame and gazing at the two at the far wall.
After she spoke, however, four more heavily armored guards came out of the shadows with each wearing a horas-based helm with two of them being near the outer sides of both the female kunoichi and the male cat demon with their bladed pole axes at their necks.
"Release us." Ciel firmly demanded of Nefertiti as she glared at him and ignored the one guard's snarl of warning as she then stood up within her seat, and calmly stated with narrowed orbs at him, "And why should I do that? You are the ones who disturbed my slumber after being sealed for safety eons ago. The least you mortals can do is to compensate for your actions."
"We have nothing to negotiate with you, at all." Murasaki decidedly states to get the attention of her with Nefertiti soon pausing and briefly sniffing the air, and her eyes slitted for a few seconds before returning to normal with immediate interest, "It seems you are mortality as demons… Interesting. But more so," she glanced at Traya's place before her with a gleam the other two didn't like, "And perhaps more to come if her scent is what I was told."
The duo was immediately confused and perplexed as she did a single waving motion of her left hand to the two dumbfounded guards and did a single nod without question, as they used their axes to easily disintegrate the filmy substance they were placed around to drop onto the floor, picked themselves up, and was still being held down by two guards now with ease.
"I think that my time has come to return from sensing this very child, managed to break the unbreakable seal…" she sniffed the air before she let out a growl to herself, and added with hints of anger and secretive emotions, "And a familiar presence in my soon to be former lair."
Ciel and Murasaki glanced at each other before hiding at being jumped when they heard explosions and spells use outside, easily, and Nefertiti snapped her fingers as to what appeared to be a general version of her soldiers showed out from the shadows and said in a tongue they didn't understand, as he nodded sharply once before dismissing himself, and she returned her gaze right back at Traya, "So now to strike a bargain."
Meanwhile with Sakura, she was soon dodging the constant strikes to the foe she was facing, as she was on the ropes due to how empowered they were.
The person soon vanished as they leapt into the air and immediately sent several sickly purplish waves of crescent energy at her previous spots she easily jumped from, as she in turn, also blocked most of the attacks by deflecting it with her weapon.
The cloaked person then was side-by-side of her as they kept clashing with each other's weapons while vanishing and appearing randomly in the large clearing they came to from running that's at least five or so miles away from Traya's current spot.
The person then grew the weapon to twice its size before sparks flew from their blades clashing harder than usual, with Sakura gritting her teeth and ignored the smirk she saw from under the hood of their face as he made her grunt from cheating and kicked her sore side from a energy attack he done earlier to her, before vanishing and appearing as he then wrapper her up within moments and sent her through several rock formations.
After that, the person tossed her very high into the air while she was still wrapped in the weapon's chains, before being sent through the ground, and kept doing this as she held back her screams of unexpected pain until they shouted through the vibulator device that was over their mouth, "Get over here!"
The individual Sakura was facing quickly pulled her to them, and was about to slice her neck off before she was tossed away while still wrapped up, and her weapon being flown next to the person's head against a some trees by making Sakura weakly blinking at witnessing those undead soldiers of jackals snarling at them both before their main gaze, sharply glared at the person who looked passive as she hid the urge to actually yelp out of being embarrassed from being easily hefted and carried off as more appeared to face the cloaked person who was slicing them left and right.
Sakura was then forcibly knocked out by a misty solution from the one carrying her, and when she came to, she blinked while looking around to see she was in a bed of sorts… Something similar to the temple she recalled seeing before she fully passed out, with furniture to match.
"It seems you're awake." A voice said to get Sakura to turn and blinked at seeing it Murasaki as she looked to have been through hell of sorts, and was easily sipping tea to relax the orangette yet was soon worried to get Murasaki to deeply understand yet have minor irritation at as well, "Where is Traya?"
"She is being looked at before we are all sent back to the hotel, and the former person sealed here for safety, alongside her army gifted to her, to find a new residence with some… Agreeable terms for benefits that even the Count would like." Murasaki informed the now curious yet still wary and worried kunoichi.
"You seemed to have been poisoned briefly as well by whoever you faced." Murasaki added when a Sakura looked ready to puke from brief vertigo as she tried to sit up, and Murasaki aided her on that, "And you should be able to at least be ready to go in a few hours due to your body trying to fight it off… That's the only damn thing Obero blessed us with." At the end, Murasaki secretly clenched her fist as Sakura sighed in wordless agreement.
Obero wanted the perfect soldiers to do her bidding against any female kunoichi, and they found out via the goblins as to how far she went: Made them Balless Futanari for breeding or other purposes, slow yet quick healing by any means, semi-ageless, very flexible and agile, and not to mention half strength compared to ten ninjas combined alongside meeting their demonic counterparts within themselves after their first night within the hotel.
So they were both blessed, and cursed, in truth.
The curse aspect is that they would have to isolate themselves when they feel overheated down below to understand as like most mammal-based demons or supernatural creatures, they have heated periods as well, and it would be overnight for them to let out that frustration.
If they were able to do so when Traya was older or declared old enough, that would be a different story altogether.
They also are still acceptable to poisons to which they cannot die from, being paralyzed from parts of their body or other, yes, but no death. They can also still get minor illnesses, like a cold or flu, which would only take seven to twelve hours to get over.
"So when do we leave?" Sakura asked with her wincing at feeling a sharp yet brief pain on her arms as before Murasaki could answer, the outer door was knocked before seeing it was Nefertiti yet she was around eight feet even in height, and still as she was, and replied to realize she was eavesdropping this entire time, "In less than an hour in mortal time, and you," here she glanced right at Murasaki then, "You are sure this Count will allow my deal to be placed?"
"Yes. He has enough funds to allow you to find a place somewhere for your residence and maybe as a VIP to the Hotel for the future when you need a break." Murasaki informed her with her inwardly being unsure, as she sprouted random words to try and cool the female a while ago, and it worked.
"Very well. I will send a few guards to further aid this female you're with for better mobility, and also assign one of my top guards to be that one child's guard and my embassy when I am not at this Hotel. As they can leave when able to, formerly, but now I can." Nefertiti informed them, as they had a feeling they would see her more often as she then turned abruptly, and then left the room.
The duo looked at each other with Murasaki filling in other details of Sebastian reluctantly leaving with Ciel to the hotel to inform the Count of things, and with a few guards as well for no trickery, and Obero alongside that cloaked individual, were gone and not defeated.
It was exactly an hour later that Sakura shivered from feeling the few guards that volunteered to carry her to what appeared to be runes Nefertiti had drawn from, of their unnatural skin, with Murasaki warily following her with hearing the woman bark out orders to the rushing servants before she noticed them.
Traya, to concern them, was still passed out in a very deep sleep at least, and she was being held by the very same general from before that followed Nefertiti's order to the whim.
"She is currently fine, but she will stay this way for at least a few days due to her overusing her power she, from looking into, was not trained for." Nefertiti informed them as she did the final touches of her sigil as was shown to her from a friend of her father's as one of few teachers she had before she was sent away. "At least, she will not feel the discomfort of her true experiences of traveling by seals."
Without warning, she tapped the ground with her foot to cause the runes to glow a crimson red with the center sigil resembling the infinity seal, and soon they were all gone.
Within Hotel Transylvania at the very moment, the main lobby was clear of any guest monsters except Mavis, Dracula, and Ophis.
Earlier, she personally sent and forced-locked everyone that managed to dodge the transport spell to their specific rooms with food and everything until whatever she sensed, occurred.
Dracula… Let's say he wasn't thrilled yet was forced to accept the idea, as thankfully, Danielle was being tended to by Angela herself for sometime as even Mavis couldn't get back to her own chambers due to the door refusing to open, despite the shrunken head of course. And he was pacing still.
"Dad. Traya will be fine, as we need to at least give the others a chance from what Sebastian told us." Mavis tried to reassure him to which he heard yet kept pacing, but stopped as they saw a flash outside and held firmly in their spots as black sand and magic spewed into through the lobby doors by force with it soon taking shape into a constantly motioned vortex that soon spat out Sakura and Murasaki, and then the duo that calmly walked out of the vortex made Ophis widen her orbs in inward shock.
It was Nefertiti and her High Guard: Cavanos, and with him easily carrying a sleeping and content Traya.
Nefertiti was also surprised at seeing Ophis at this place, which she thought suited its name from the way she instantly judged the design, before gazing right at her for once showing small emotion as her self isolation, caused her to slowly become less emotional then she was, "Hello Teacher."
"Student." Ophis calmly told Nefertiti and held back annoyance from Dracula easily going over and was given his middle child by the High Guard, with the demigod female blinking in being perplex by this with Ophis firmly yet gently placing a hand on her left arm with a look that was mixed with many things, and business was also part of it, "Take My Bonded Soulmate to her chambers to rest her overuse of power... I will need to discuss things over with my former student, and do so after having your trusted healers look at her."
It seems Ophis surprised the three, with Nefertiti making a wordless motion she was in good hands to irk Dracula and amuse Mavis, as Cavanos took back Traya and was soon led by Mavis herself to where her room was, and Dracula going to go to all the rooms in haste to let everyone know it was safe, now.
Sakura was reluctant yet Murasaki gave a sharp wordless look of 'Thanks' as the guards aided her by escorting them to their chambers across Mavis' Room three doors down.
There were a few moments of tense silence at this point between the two remaining females, and with them seeing that no one besides them was around, at last they awkwardly hugged each other with Nefertiti softly stating to the Nothing Drake, "It is good to see you are well, Teacher."
"Likewise… I take it, My Bonded broke your seal that one fool messed up on?" Ophis agreed before questioning her to make the half-jackal demigod to blink with wonder and mixed emotions soon filling her orbs and returned her own question, and bringing a small rare yet hardly seen smile on the nothing Drake's lips from the words, "You mean to inform me, that child, is bond to you with that much hidden power she has, and nearly spent?"
"Indeed, Student. It was rather by a sheer accident as I was getting ready to leave this hotel. Despite the way she is young, I do foresee great potential for My Bonded: Traya." Ophis confessed after she summoned some nearby chairs and food for the duo with her chaotic power.
Nefertiti soon gave a short gentle nod as she sipped some sweet Earl tea she grew up with to remind her of mixed memories, yet asked to make Ophis only pause a moment of sipping her own personal favorite of tea, by what she asked. "I had sensed the Balanced Chaotic Power she has of her race, but she isn't fully aware of the last set of changes her body will undergo, has she? From my experience with beings in meetings with Father, and realizing it, Teacher… She is the last of her kind?"
Ophis hid an internal wince at recalling her merely observing the impure chaos versus pure and balance, of that particular war long ago as a reminder of her participation, and to cause her to go even further as to what she was slowly getting out of due to two things: Her new demonic brother, and her Bonded, for her emotions.
"She is…. Traya-Chan is from mere gaze at near completion with her hands not fully done by sight alone, alongside her body. It will be years until she reaches around the age of twelve to thirteen to be fully done changing… Her body becoming a picky exception of adaptation within her blood to which, cannot be spread into others unless she wills it as the donated, as a price… Would only be ancestral unlocking by true means mixed with oneself. As of now, she cannot share due to her blood still accepting and assimilation of her own personal blood being adopted, and more." Ophis decided to clarify her one of few students long ago, and only made Nefertiti blink owlishly yet calmly at her as she simply and quietly sipped her tea.
"It seems you will at least have your hands filled with whatever may come, especially since The Dark was involved in recent events to my former entombed home." Nefertiti informed her Ex-Teacher to cause Ophis to blink a few times slowly, and nodded as if she knew what her Former Student ment.
After more casual talk between them, Nefertiti then reluctantly stood and did minor stretching as she detailed her next set of plans, to which she only got a soft calm nod from Ophis in understanding, "I plan to come here whenever I need a break, but I plan to see how much the world has shifted and changed ever since my sealed time, and maybe giving my guards, except a select few, a temporary vacation to let them be reunited with their families at last."
Ophis recalled the land from which Nefertiti's father originated before he became aware of being half-siblings with others from other lands as well, and eventually settled on Earth as a God, of sorts, and recruited those that truly volunteered to be within his army as well.
Ophis then calmly told her after sipping her tea to finish, "Then at least visit now and then my home as after all… I voted against your sealed placement for your safety, but was vetoed by The Religion Law of your father's kin. Even your few known uncles and aunts were with me that very day in agreement."
Nefertiti nodded solemnly at recalling long ago that forced vote by her firm-handed half-uncle of not only her, but a few others to be sealed by his ruling, and accepted the bag Ophis brought into existence she had brief soft eyes at recognizing it as she stunned Ophis with a unexpected hug she reluctantly accepted, and pulled away as she created a vortex from the vortex seal hidden on her hand, and stated in parting alongside making Ophis, for once wary, by her eyes glancing at the stairs as she left, "I will see you eventually, Teacher… Though I suggest no harm to kin or those your bonded cares for, get involved with anything else, as she was able to be stopped, but next time she will possibly need further aid to control her primal rage."
Ophis pondered for only a few moments before tensing up and turned to see a cloaked individual leaning on the desk the hotel had, and clapped once with his gloved hands, and stated to her carefree with a shrug, "Seems to me the squirt has a lot of issues to solve herself." He was mainly a man who appeared as a person completely concealed in an unusual black coat.
"What in terms, do you mean, mortal?" Ophis calmly told in an order to only see he shrugged from where he was, and didn't seem to have been bothered by what she dubbed him as he stood and gestured to himself before making her growl, as he pointed at her by his words alone, "Nothing much but what interesting things will occur to this very realm, the individuals involved, and future aspects with you also being a part of it."
"Make sense, or I will slay you where you stand." Ophis growled out as for unusual reasons, this male person was making her angry to which he only 'Tsked' and replied casually as he was reaching into his cloak, "Temper, temper. No offense to you at all, Lady Ouroboros. I merely am stopping by while checking over the globe for things, and was asked out of many favors of an individual to give the child these."
He then grabbed a small black chest that looked unusual and placed it on the spare chair close to him, and unshrunk it to see it had some runes on it alongside the main open-aspect resembling that of a demonic dragon head with mixed ruby and sapphire eyes.
"Consider it a gift to that man, as he would come himself but knew I was in this world and setting up shop for beneficial outcomes." The man continued with him stunning Ophis of him actually opening a vortex of pure darkness and waved at her, paused, and then tossed a bag right at her to which she easily caught, "That's also something for the squirt to when she's at least going with her secondary puberty her Royal Kind has. Nearly forgot, as the squirt by the man's words, stated she will not seek the opposite of her gender from her soul… It didn't come with instructions but to allow her to keep it on her at all times." He then left and the portal closed behind him.
Ophis was rather curious for once, and blinked at the non-labeled vial that was glowing a mixture of faintly glowing colors of a rainbow, and pocketed it before deciding to check up on her Bonded later, as she summoned her wings, and used her power to send that chest to her shared room within her floating castle in the sky, and fly out in quick speeds from the hotel.
Next Chapter
November 15th (on a Tuesday), 2011, within Traya and Mavis' Shared Room in Hotel Transylvania:
Traya began to stir with her feeling heavy, and let out a yawn with her slowly opening her eyes, and blinked bleary for a few moments before her sight fully saw to confuse her, Mavis with her sleeping within a chair yet her upper torso was on the end of her green and black accented thunderbolt bed cover that was a queen, and gazed around the room to see from their window it was a setting sun.
Inwardly, the child was thankful for her bed not being by the window and for Papa (Dracula) having the witches magically expand the room itself for them both, from knowing like her big sister, Dracula would end up getting burnt badly if they were exposed to the sun.
Unlike her or her baby sister, but baby Danielle would end up getting sick if she was exposed for at least six hours of sun without a cover or shawl around her body, to mention.
Traya blinked as she tried to sit up, and couldn't, with her eyes feeling itchy along with her hands feeling strange, and her movement managed to slowly wake up Mavis who confused the child by immediately hugging her.
"Tap! Thank the bats you're awake." Mavis stated to herself mainly in relief as Traya being puzzled and inwardly was thankful for Mavis adjusting her body with ease to sit up on her bed, asked curiously without realizing how dry her voice sounded as if she hadn't had anything to drink for a while, "I was sleeping?"
This made Mavis worried a bit as to perplex the child to which she saw her thinking with her looking upwards slightly, asking her gently yet hesitantly then, "What do you last remember?"
"I remember getting to hold weapons from both Sakura-Nee and Murasaki-Nee when they told me Papa said I can train, and then I was grabbed by a green vine…" Traya began before looking to be deeply thinking with her head lowered before looking at Mavis then, and what she said concerned her, "I heard a strange voice say something, and after… I can't remember, but I think Sakura-Nee was screaming in pain. Not sure why though."
Seeing Mavis' concerned face, Traya then asked her with a worried and concerned look, to snap her elder sister out of her thoughts, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing Tap. Nothing at all, but do you recall anything about that odd voice?" Mavis quickly tells her in a convincing tone she was fine, but deep down, she was truly concerned about her middle sister as she saw the latest change she figured was permanently placed, especially since she knew the drugs being obvious within Traya's symptoms might make her lethargic a bit to not feel her body.
Traya easily laid back on the fluffed pillows that matched her bedding, and thought with a wince before responding, "I remember hearing two voices with one being a strange man's with power in it, and he felt dangerous."
"Felt dangerous?" Mavis decided to state in being startled as Traya was at least able to nod, "Yes, Big Sissy. I only felt the vines, somehow those voices, and seeing a strange creature's face from its glowing eyes… And waking up to see you on my bed." Mavis worries then shifted to half-amusement as she heard Traya ask her then with her helping her little sister out, "Can you help me? I need to go bad, and my body is heavy."
After making sure to give a signal to her shrunken head to alert her father and the others, and inwardly cursing of not asking the witches to install a bathroom to share, she led her to the closest large restroom and shared shower to which, thankfully, wasn't occupied by the guests and helped her out.
It was when she grew concerned about her little sister seeing herself in the mirror, Traya didn't scream but looked stunned in frozen shock.
She was as she was turned into, but her hands were slightly bigger and shifted into dragon-like arms up past her elbow a few inches in perfection as they were dimly lit scorched blackened scales that didn't give off heat, but had a styled effect, and her clawed tips were like lightly blackened ivory, in color, and similar to the claws on her feet in density, and able to become sharp when she wants them to, and her birthmark was easily seen on said arm, but it was no longer a natural red, but it was silvery.
To mention as well, her eyes were also demonic looking, dark blue colored cat eyes with a burst of lighter blue around the pupils, and her pupils being that to her original eye color to also see they still shined a bit like gems in the light, and natural bloodshot colored sclera.
Mavis was worried as before she was placed under many healing droughts and more by the doctors, her body did this to her for unknown reasons, and she simply hugged from behind her little sister… And was soon tinting when the child noticed her chest and kept poking them without being bothered how tall she grew, from her change.
Mavis wasn't the best about the body and figured at some point, Angela or the other females would explain better as she stopped her little sister, and led her back to their room and tucked her into her own bed.
"You will probably be explained by someone later on, but you need to rest as you're still recovering." Mavis informs her gently to which Traya let out a yawn for a moment and looked ready to argue but she did shake her head from feeling sleepy like her big sister stated, "I might have someone else come to check on you as I need to eat…" seeing Traya's look at that, Mavis hesitantly laughed with a hand to her head to soon amuse a little to Traya then, "I forgot to eat something last night and this evening."
Traya withheld a yawn before she told her in a way to amuse Mavis as she adjusted her bedding to where she could sit up, still, yet could sleep if she wanted to, "Then go eat, Big Sissy… Didn't Papa say that not eating only hurts you in the end?"
Mavis let out a soft chuckle for a brief moment before kissing her little sister's head in wordless agreement to make her sleepily giggle to herself then, "He does say that at times, doesn't he?"
Traya nodded and yawned once again as Mavis gently gripped her little sister's two fingers of her left hand as to amuse her, her little sister passed out within moments, and was soon letting out quiet humming-like purrs.
Once Mavis was quietly out the door telling her shrunken head gently to have a 'Not Disturb' unless it was her or those Traya knew, she bumped right into her father as he looked worried until relief settled his features, "She is alright but she is still tired, Dad. I think she is going to at least be ok with things."
"Alright, then I guess we would have to make sure she gets some rest." Dracula assured her then as the duo began walking calmly down the halls with Dracula himself, knowing that his friends were going to be back in a few weeks, as they left, and both Sakura and Murasaki left as well to find things out with the aid of Asuka as to what the group that tried yet failed to obtain Traya, is, and wouldn't be back for sometime, and this time, the trio was prepared for anything.
Nearly close to where Mavis knew was the small library for the monsters that tend to read or do studies for schooling, Dracula paused for a mere moment by her words before they resumed walking to where she knew he was needed within the kitchens, "Dad… She doesn't recall anything past the start of training when both Sakura and Murasaki were putting her through with those vines, but she said something about two voices with one being powerful, and a creature's face."
"She didn't say anything else besides that, Mavis?" Dracula stated in a way he thought it was serious, as the female vampire knew whenever he said her name like that at times, he knew something was wrong or serious, and she nodded as they were walking down the steps together with partially waving some guests away and greeting them, "No… But what's worrying me is what might happen if she goes into that state again, as we were both there when-" Dracula stopped her in understanding and recalled how the witches and doctors had to stabilize his middle child a few days ago, "I understand."
Dracula soon sighed as he took a parchment and quickly signed it with said knight taking off, and was thankful Angela was watching Danielle tonight, as Mavis eventually left to go check on Traya, again, as he reached the kitchens.
Just letting you know that if I mentioned said person without describing them, they are based on the movie or whatever itself. Thank you, and let's resume.
"So what is it this time Quasimodo?" Dracula told the Hotel Chef, as he saw his rat was dragging a lamb leg and tossed it into the cauldron itself and shoved a new small hand-grabbing dish into the count's mouth to which he was intrigued and sealed it before asking with being pleased only slightly with also being irked at the Chef, "Ok that was pretty tasty, what was it?"
"Lamb-O-Baladay! Something I made up, as it's mostly the meat of lamb, and spices that I was given for weeks. It's also infused with scream cheese, and more in my list here, and figured maybe you would think about the process of serving them at the eventual party?" Quasimodo informed him with once again kissing his lips before adding said ingredients into the cauldron with a large stirring wooden spoon.
"I'll think about it, but I would like you to make your famous Meat Stick once again for my middle daughter, as she's awake and would be hungry at least." Dracula decided to inform him as he was hopping around his kitchen easily then and gave a short nod to know he heard him, "And maybe make your famous chicken ala gusto tonight for everyone for dinner. And also the side of pigs feet in your personal spice."
"Sure thing Monsieur, as I will get right on it once my gargoyle servants come with the ingredients to do so… Though I will need some more herbs at some point, as my last meal nearly rang me dry of stickleweed and sweetened jalapeño spice." Quasimodo informed him as he tossed in a small block of screaming cheese into the dimly glowing cook pot, as Dracula then left.
As he was halfway into the center of the main entrance, he bumped right into Traya's doctor, Jarline, as she looked relieved to see him at least.
"I finally managed to find you Count, as I managed to analyze some things with Traya," Jarline informs him quietly with leading him to a secured part of the lobby, and took the results with him freezing and blinked a few times, and turned to her as if she was serious, "I was startled as well, as I did ask Mazila, our recent Witch Doctor, to do a special scan when Lady Traya was still out of it, and saw signs of her being a jailed host of sorts to something within her… Not sure, but some of it could be explained based on her latest issue with her arms."
So whatever Mavis said was true then… "Is there going to be a major problem if this is in her?" Dracula decided to ask questions in hidden worry to which he was half-relieved by her mixed answer, "Not unless she goes enraged from what Lady Sakura and Murasaki informed me once I and Zaza managed to find and ask them things. From whatever is sealed inside her, is something powerful and unknown… And yet the energy was also familiar as well, Count. It was as if whatever it is, was purposely sealed from something else being involved, or getting invovled."
"You recognize it?" Dracula questioned her as she sighed while giving him a pointed look yet both winced from seeing some of the furniture being chased down by a spell accidentally bringing them to life by a new intern witch, and fixing up the mess they were causing.
Jarline coughed into her hand and with a pointed look at him, explained things a bit better to what she recalled, "The energy that was scanned… It was massive in the power scale of at least being a record to the Shadow Drake, but more denser and destructive… Yet we both knew in tales how powerful that entity by our ancestors really was. To mention, there were also lesser energies as well, but they felt like they were being held back by it."
Dracula hid the urge to gulp, as he recalled that the mentioned entity was that of a once powerful Hybrid Shadow Dragon that was also a Shifter, and with an army of shadows, nearly wiped out both humans and monsters alike if it wasn't for a small group of sorts defeating it. No one knew what became of the entity at all.
Dracula straightened himself out then before stating to her to make Jarline only raise an eyebrow for, "Does anyone else know about this?"
"Only Mr. Hyde alongside his counterpart, and Jazz knows about the test, and Marcy." Jarline informed him with a new look to wordlessly exclaim, where was he going with this, "Then perhaps it's best we keep it kept tight for now, and then find a solution to when it may occur."
Jarline looked like she was about to say something about it for once, thought on it by his look, and sighed with a wordless nod as she confused him at placing some pill capsules into his hands, "This is for Traya to when she's thirsty, as it is to be taken during that once every two hours as there is at least four capsules in total. I made sure to accommodate for her racial kind and the issue of her magic depletion as it would make her sleep a bit more, but it will speed up her progress. It will be easier if she also takes at least two of them with a meal."
"Thanks Jarline." Was all Dracula could state as she only gave a curt gentle nod, turned sharply, and began heading back to the hospice wing.
Dracula was once again on his way to his next stop until for once in a rare moment, he bumped into a cloaked person in the halls and they dropped something and then rushed off, "What may be his problem?" Dracula ponders yet blinked and picked up a small obsidian jewelry box to which he saw no signs of a monster signature or name, and shrugged as he tucked it secured onto his person with his cape helping, and when he was done, decided to check with Mavis and Traya, and then Baby Danielle.
Once inside and placing the box as a secretive gift to his middle child, Traya was awake yet looked sleepy still, and Mavis was playing with her with her old toys she saved until they saw him.
"Hi Papa… Mavis is playing with me." Traya states sleepily to him to cause a small smile to develop on his face, and Mavis was perplexed as the jewelry box she took notice, dimly glowed for a few seconds until she shook her head and noticed the capsules in his hand, "Her medicine?"
"Yes my Blood-Orange, and you do have to drink or eat with it, Spitfire," Dracula nodded to his eldest before informing Traya who had an immediate look of disgust on her face at the sight of them.
Traya hiccuped and saw on her nearby stand a decent glass of chocolate milk appeared, and didn't see Dracula and Mavis glanced at each other at it as she yawned with her soon taking the horrible tasting capsules, and eventually went to sleep.
Once out of the room, Mavis sighed as she saw her father going as he said he would check up on her other little sister, and began to walk randomly to clear her head knowing Traya was content and also within safe hands in her shared quarters.
So she headed to the one place she knew was one of few get-away spots that Mavis knew for a long period within the Hotel Property: The Cemetery.
Once there, she landed as a bat before becoming her true self near some monuments and closeby, a building with rare blue orchid roses around it from when she was around 99 years old, and gently grazed her fingertips through them without wincing or even getting punctured by the thorns they had, and decided to sit on a small orbed monument that held no grave, and began to think to herself with having many thoughts running through her mind, with some being her upcoming birthday next year on June 27th of 2012, as by New Years, she would be officially done with her schooling, and was rather glad she also shared her birthday closely to Traya.
Mavis' thoughts were shortly going then to her bonded Aunt and Uncle that were her two blood adopted sister's parents, and knowing that they will miss many things with them. Then her thoughts went to her ongoing issues with her father for her independence, and more.
She was startled and soon went wide-eyed in place with utter amazement by having an unexpected entity gazing at her with a grin on his face, by his words to her as she recognized it was no common animal, "Seems that you are pondering as if you were wiser then you let on, Vampiress."
To mention, the animal indeed resembled a male sphynx cat with him sitting on a stone bench easily, with easily seeing that his very thin coat of fur and thin body shape to be emaciated, almost skeletal appearance; his bones can be seen through his fur-less, gray skin. His decaying starved appearance is suggestive of a cat carcass that has been rotting for years and could be symbolic of the damage and "decay" of anyone's mental state.
To mention as well, he has a large head and paws, a disturbingly human-like smile (which is sometimes seen spattered with blood), a long neck, sharp claws, big pointed ears, and a long tail with a slightly sharper tuft of fur on the end. He wears a gold hoop earring in his right ear, and a silver one to his left, and his skin is covered with black markings similar to tribal tattoos, but were more prominent. His smile also looks maniacal, and he appears to have under-grown yellow incisors that are covered in blood. His eyes are also green and with the darker yellow sclera (and glow with a bright, illuminating light).
Lastly, to be seen, he wore a thin yet sturdy looking necklace with the loop being made out of some type of hair from another animal, and attached with easily yet gently dangling at times, was a rare smooth blue diamond encased within a silvery-vine brooch around the borders, as it was shaped like a heart.
"No need to be alarmed, Vampiress. I mean no bodily harm to your safety zone or those within this fine establishment." The cat informed her with a brief wave of his paw to her before placing a paw to his chest alongside with a glint to his eyes to introduce himself, "I am an intellectual creature to my whims and manifested by one long ago, and hope to meet once again. I do have a true name, but I prefer those to whom I met to christened myself as Cheshire."
"Ummm… Ok, Cheshire." Mavis tells him warily as in all her life as a vampire, she never had encountered this type of creature before to which she was unsettled by his bloody and briefly widened grin he gave her when he was pleased, and assured her with a flick of his tail as he spoke, "Again, Vampiress, I mean no harm. I am well aware of my… Physique isn't all that is meant to be, but that's just the way things are at times."
Cheshire then twitched his ears as if he heard something, but kept that grin of sorts on his face as he then began to explain his reasons for being here, and startling her by the confession as well, "I was one of many upon many entities that were brought to this realm via an unknown, unexpected, and unorthodox manner of power as in honesty…" Here the cat shivered as if he took a dose of a foul tasting drink, "It was rather unpleasant to experience, despite it being a savior of my life."
Seeing her baffled look, he clarified it more to her, "I was beside one another, was the last survivor to my realms destruction. I sensed a source that would lead us to a better understanding of the place and took it. The price, although…" Mavis saw him lightly shake the necklace before resuming his words with mixed eyes, "They were turned into this and only I can hold onto it unless I manage to truly find the one that can wear this without shock occurring. The individual is of importance as I tracked the wave to this spot, and plan to stick and foresee whatever may amuse me, or even secretly aid those here."
"So… What do you plan to do until you find this person?" Mavis decided to ask at least to which she wasn't nervous this time by his grin as he let out a soft chuckle with amused glinted eyes, and vanished before her very eyes, in mystery, "Merely wait and find out, as after all… Things can be seen yet unseen, and even the unbelievable can believe."
Once he was gone, with his creepy smile the last to leave, she sighed to herself and glanced up at the night sky, and stayed at her spot for at least an hour until she decided to head back.
Before she could go past the doors, she was stopped by a cloaked individual who she was going to apologize to, but was rather confused when she was given a sealed envelope with Traya's full name on it before the person vanished into a puff of smoke.
She pocketed it warily and by the date to which she glanced, it was meant for her birthday last year, and would give it to her later on, not knowing that Traya's Inheritance Test, in years, would be added onto, adjusted, and even further in detail once she's fourteen.
Sorry for the short chapter, but the next few will make up for it as this one contained hints of future events, as I will be posting to what I have for this and my other stories, eventually.
