In the gates of Hanatul city, Soran was strapping Thunder's saddle. Thunder had grown bigger, stronger and faster. Some new features appeared like longer horns, more lighting stripes, larger claws and small spikes on the tip of his long tail.
After strapping the saddle, Soran grinned at Thunder and petted his head. "Hope you're ready for a long run, Thunder. The way to Polan is f**king far."
Thunder growled softly and softly licked Soran's face.
Soran patted Thunder's head and scanned the area. Some citizens were doing their own business on the streets. Shops were opened; children were playing with each other and couples walking together while chatting. Definitely Hanatul City had improved greatly from the accident.
Soran leaned against Thunder with his arms crossed and his foot over the other. He was waiting for the rest of his family to come. He had no idea what's taking them so long. He was excited about the mission, mostly because of the cheese in Polan.
He only tasted their cheese once and he was dying for more! Unfortunately, his father wouldn't let him return to Polan to buy more of their cheeses. Soran nearly cried in his sleep for his cravings of their cheeses. Sure it's childish but everyone has a weakness.
Then he saw his little brother approaching towards him while leading his Ukrah companion by its reins. He named his Ukrah Storm because he had dark blue and soft grey fur with slight stripes of silver. Storm's specialty is controlling metal; like electricity.
Since the Ukrah were diminished but Thunder's kind, the Jashinists started to have Ukrahs as riding companions. They're good for travelling on and fighting. Nearly every Jashinist has a Ukrah after they showed their faithful to Lord Jashin and matured enough to have a Ukrah companion.
Soran said to Claw as he approached "Nice for you to finally join me, brother."
Claw stopped and softly glared at Soran "What? I've been feeding Storm."
"Couldn't you have done it here? I've been so lonely." He pouted as he said that.
Claw rolled his eyes to the blue sky "You're so childish sometimes…"
"Hey, at least I'm not so f**king grumpy like you. If I were like you, you would have been bored as f**k! Would you want that?"
"I'd be happy with that."
"Oooh, ow, that f**king hurts, you know?" he said dramatically.
Claw rubbed the bridge of his nose with an anime vein popping on his head. "Must…control…self…must not…kill…"
"You do know that you can't f**king kill me? I doubt you could, little brother."
Claw glared at him "I know that I can't kill you, but I know that I can make you suffer…"
"Oh, that's the most kindness thing you've ever offered to me!" Soran said as his eyes twinkled with his hands folded together and a wide smile on his face. He gestured Claw towards his face "Come on! Give me the best punch! Hit me in the stomach! No! Stab me in the heart!"
Claw groaned deeply and put his face in his hand miserably "As much as I would love to do that. Mother told me not to."
Soran started to have anime tears running down from his eyes "F**k…I forgot about that…Oh mother…"
"'Oh mother' what?" asked a voice.
The brothers turned their head to see their parents and sister standing before them. Fenora's Ukrah was silver with black stripes. She named her – yes it's a female Ukrah – Luna. As a female Ukrah, it had smaller horns and smaller claws but she was still deadly. Her specialty was allusions.
Hidan and Thanerah had a Master Ukrah. The biggest Ukrah of the three. A Master male Ukrah had larger horns, sharper teeth, and larger claws thus more powerful and faster. Its specialty is raw strength. He can even bite through metal. Its name is Steel. He was Hidan's Ukrah.
Thanerah didn't bother to find her own Ukrah because she was still attached to Thunder. Seeing him with Soran is very comforting though. Thunder had been so lonely since she had Hidan through the years. It's nice to see him with Soran.
The two brothers flinched and they said in unison "N-Nothing."
Hidan eyed his sons suspiciously "You know that I don't like being lied to…" he growled with a small sneer of annoyance.
The brothers didn't say anything and they both glanced at their young sister for help. She shook her head and said "You got into this shit, you dig your way out. Don't get me involved." She crossed her arms on her chest as she was sitting on the saddle of Luna.
The brothers glared at their sister. Thanerah saw that they needed some rescue so she said to Hidan "Now, love, leave them alone. You're scaring them."
Hidan scoffed "They have the f**king right to be scared of me."
"Hidan," she whined to him, pleading him to stop scaring their sons.
He sighed heavily and softly glared at his sons "You're lucky that your mother is kind enough to save your asses. Don't lie to me. You know that f**king pisses me off."
The brothers nodded and replied in unison "Yes, Dad."
Hidan grunted a bit and then said "Come on. We got a long way to go to Polan." He mounted on Steel and Thanerah followed suit while sitting behind. Claw and Soran mounted on theirs and they immediately ran towards the direction of Polan.
Hidan mounted off Steel and grabbed Thanerah's waist to help her down on her feet. They were camping for the night. Sure, they would have used the train but nowadays Jashinists preferred to travel with their Ukrahs.
Thanerah smiled at him and quickly glanced at their children to see that they were doing some business like getting some wood to prepare a campfire. She quickly looked back at Hidan and leaned forward to peck his lips.
He kissed immediately and passionately. He pushed her against Steel as he was lying down. Steel glanced at the kissing couple and rolled his eyes before resting his head on his paws. Thanerah wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Suddenly they heard woods being dumped to the ground and a scream "Oh my f**king cheese-maker! Not this shit again!" It was Soran.
Hidan and Thanerah pulled away from their passionate kiss to see Soran covering his eyes while his cheeks were flushed. Claw was blushing and he looked away while looking embarrassed to catch his parents making-out. Fenora cooed as she blushed with her hands folded together.
"That is so romantic!" cooed Fenora and started to have her own fantasy with her mate.
Soran said without leaving his hands off his eyes "Will there ever be a f**king moment when you're not making-out with each other! Haven't you scarred me enough!"
Hidan shouted at him in annoyance "We've told you before! You should have f**king knocked on the door!"
"Yeah! But we're not back at home! And really? Out in the f**king open!"
"When you're mated with someone, you'll f**king understand!"
Thanerah sighed heavily and said to stop the argument "Can we just…stop? Let's eat some dinner, shall we?" she asked quite nonchalantly as if nothing had happened.
Claw said with a firm nod "Please! Anything else besides making-out with Father! Please!" He was also scarred, but less than Soran fortunately.
Soran looked at him surprisingly "You know, this is the first time we agreed on something!"
Now Claw looked surprised "Hmm…I guess you're right." He narrowed his eyes at Soran "But don't f**king push it." Then he asked Thanerah "What's for dinner, Mother?"
Thanerah cracked her knuckles with a small smirk "Some deer."
Her children arched a brow "What? You brought some f**king deer?"
Hidan rolled his eyes and joked "Yes. She brought a whole bag of f**king deer. It's in the bag."
Soran then went to the satchel that attached to the back of the saddle on Steel. He looked inside and then looked at his parents curiously. "There's nothing inside but your f**king stuff."
Hidan sighed heavily "What the hell am I going to do with you…?" he mumbled under his breath as Thanerah giggled.
Thanerah said to her eldest son "He was joking, sweetie."
Now he looked embarrassed "Oh…I knew that."
Claw rolled his eyes as he sang with sarcasm "Right…"
Fenora looked at her mother curiously "But seriously, mother. Do you want us to hunt a deer down?"
Thanerah smiled "No. I'll hunt it down."
Soran flinched and he asked her sincerely "Are you sure, mum?"
Hidan softly glared at him "Did you just doubt your mother?"
Thanerah smiled at Soran and said "I'll be fine, honey. Don't worry." She turned around to quickly pecked Hidan. Then she phased into her wolf form. She sniffed the air then quickly ran into the forest while following the scent.
