Erza had just graduated from high school and was now enjoying her summer break. Her mother, Eileen and her step father, Rhonith were proud of her. So was Nyxiah and the family was happy together.

As the summer began Eileen had an epiphany as she was in the kitchen and Rhonith noticed her strange silence. Silence from Eileen was rare so that's why it was strange to him.

"Dear, is something wrong?"

She looked at him with an expression that looked like a nervous breakdown.

"Rhonith…Erza just finished high school."

Rhonith just raised a brow.

"Um yes, yes she did. A week ago."

"That means she's going to a university away from home."

"She might stay nearby."

The next thing Rhonith knew was Eileen had grabbed his collar and was looking at him dead in the eye.

"Rhonith…."

Rhonith was getting scared.

Erza was in her room and was looking online to see what universities were perfect to her liking then she heard a sudden scream from downstairs.

"I DON'T WANT MY DAUGHTER TO LEAVE!"

That scream caused Erza to jump then she ran downstairs only to see that her step father was being cornered by her mother and clearly he wanted to be out of there.

The moment he saw Erza he spoke.

"Look Eileen, Erza's still home. She never left."

Erza was confused but then she was glomped by her mother.

"Mom, is something wrong?"

Eileen rubbed Erza's head.

"I'm not letting you go anywhere."

Erza wondered what her mother meant by that then Rhonith looked away.

"Eileen, Erza's not a little girl anymore. She's going to grow up at some point."

"Still not letting go."

Erza smiled at her mother then they all saw Nyxiah coming into the kitchen with a blank expression on his face.

"I heard screaming, what's going on?"

Rhonith looked at him.

"Eileen refuses to let Erza go."

"Of course, Erza's her only daughter so it shouldn't be surprising as to how protective she is."

"But…."

Nyxiah got an idea.

"How about this, we all go on a family vacation and just relax. Just these past couple days everything was somewhat tense so let's loosen up."

"Alright then."

"Great, because I already bought the tickets and just for your safety pack something warm because we're going to a place that's in deep winter. We're staying in a large private place."

With that he left and Rhonith was confused.

"What place is in winter while we're in summer?"

Erza smiled.

"Come on, Mom. Let's go pack."

Eileen and Erza left upstairs and began to pack for their trip.

When they were finished Erza ran to Nyxiah who was in the living room.

"Big brother?"

He looked at her.

"Yes, Erza?"

"Where are we going?"

"Where going to Pyry."

Erza blinked.

"Pyry?"

"Yes. It's known as the Blizzard World because they never have any of the other seasons."

"Have you been there before?"

"Yes and now you will get to see it."

Erza smiled then hugged him.

"Thanks for being the brother I wish I had."

Nyxiah blinked.

"You wanted siblings?"

Erza let him go.

"Yes but since the government here doesn't allow single parents to adopt so it had always been my mother and I. Sometimes whenever Mom was working late I had no one and I hated it."

Nyxiah nodded then looked.

"Well you'll be going away for school so we would have to try talking your mother into adopting kids now."

Erza smiled at him.

"Please."

"I will."

They all finished packing and went to bed after that.
