The next morning Minerva, Sting, Rogue, Skyrhina and Jiemma were all out in the fields with Tigeress, Diamond, Bolto, Voxen and Violet. So far everything seemed peaceful and calm then Tigeress looked at them and smiled.
"So what questions do you have?"
Sting went first.
"Who are you guys?"
Tigeress and those who came with her smiled then Bolto cheered.
"We're your future children but Diamond is your future granddaughter."
Everyone was shock then Rogue raised a brow.
"Will one of you explain everything to us?"
Violet smiled.
"Sure. The first as you all know is Skyrhina, in a year from now Bolto and Voxen are born. Four years after that I come along."
Minerva blinked then looked at Tigeress.
"Wait a second, you're Skyrhina?"
Tigeress smiled as she nodded.
"Yep."
Violet ran to hug Minerva.
"Don't worry Mother, all four of s get along with each other and you had a happy marriage with Father."
Bolto and Voxen joined in on the hug and Tigeress chuckled at the sight. Minerva just looked at them then she looked at Violet placing a gentle clawed hand on her cheek then Violet stood grabbing Minerva's hand.
"We'll be back, Skye."
Skyrhina nodded then both of them left.
(With Minerva and Violet)
They were both sitting on the ground looking down at the water then Minerva looked at Violet.
"Is something wrong?"
Violet lowered her head.
"Even though we're not related I still look up to you as if you were my mother."
Minerva blinked.
"What do you mean?"
"It's kind of hard to explain, out of the four children of our family, I'm the only one you didn't give birth to."
"So I adopted you?"
"You did but at first I was scared because of what had happened to me at my birth home."
"Who are your parents?"
"My father who is your first husband is Teominh, in a few year from now he will become king and.."
She paused looking sad at the water and Minerva looked at her then she went on.
"Not only did he become king in the land we lived in but he also became this entire different person to the point that he remarried a woman. Bolto and Voxen were already born and Skyrhina wasn't allowed to visit you because of what had happened before this whole mess."
Minerva frowned slightly when she heard that, she guessed that Skyrhina must have been taken away from her by her father.
"So what happened?"
"Skyrhina asked if she could have a younger sibling and they agreed to it. As time went about the time while Skye was 11 so that would make the twins 4, I was born. For four years our father was king and he was too busy for us and our mother wasn't really the loving type. After a few 'accidents' with me and her, Skyrhina noticed that whenever she tried to hug me I would flinch. She didn't know why but she soon learned what it was. She became so infuriated that when nightfall came she and ran away from home. On the way, however we lived very far from Fiore so we didn't bother wasting time getting there and we were low on food. I think it took about a week to get there since we snuck on a train and Skye made sure we got as far as we could without getting seen by anyone."
Minerva hung her head.
'So it was a history repeat itself.'
She looked at Violet.
"So who did you go to?"
Violet smiled at her.
"Skye brought us to where you lived. She was kind of sorry about knocking on your door at 2:40 in the morning but you didn't seem to mind. You let us come in and the moment you saw me you almost go the wrong idea of Skye giving birth to me and she had to explain before you said anything. It was funny way how you looked at her. You seemed nice and you allowed us to stay with you but then about a couple weeks later you found Skyrhina looking through ads for places to stay and you two talked it over and you told her that she and I weren't going to go anywhere. You told her that we were going to live with you no matter what."
Violet stopped and Minerva saw tears streaming down her face.
"You were more than a mother to me. You have no idea how much Skye and me are thankful to have you."
Minerva brought Violet into firm embrace.
"It's okay, let it all out."
Violet cried more in Minerva's shoulder while Minerva held her and rubbed her back. Not aware to both women, there was a man watching them and he was glaring at them. He stepped out and watched as they backed off each other. Minerva smiled warmly as she wiped Violet's tears away from her face.
"It's going to be alright."
Minerva leaned closer and kissed Violet on the forehead.
"Isn't that nice."
Minerva and Violet both looked to see Teominh looking at them. Minerva saw that it was the Teominh of the current time then she faced him.
"Teominh, I-"
"I am well aware of what you have done to our daughter, Minerva and that is the final straw."
Minerva knew that at this point, there was nothing she could say to him so then she lowered her head and closed her eyes.
"Violet, get out of here."
"But-"
Minerva looked at her then she nodded running away from there.
After Violet was gone Minerva looked at Teominh.
"Teominh..."
Teominh glared at her.
"Who would have thought that I would see the day that I would beat my first wife senseless."
"..."
"Aren't you going to make some remark about being a king?"
Minerva slowly shook her head.
"I have no comments."
He then glared.
"Alright then, I hope you will accept what you deserve for what you did to Skyrhina!"
His fist connected to her face and she fell back a few feet away. He went to her and began to beat her more. Minerva didn't make a sound or begged him to stop."
With the others
Tigeress was just watching as everyone was asking questions back and forth but then she felt that something was wrong. Soon enough she saw Violet running to her then clinging onto her. Skyrhina blinked then looked at her little sister.
"Vy, what's wrong?"
Violet looked up at her with tear filled eyes.
"It's our father!"
Tigeress's eyes widen in shock then she, the Twin Dragons and her twin brother ran to find Minerva.
Minerva and Teominh
Minerva was on the ground battered but she was still awake. Teominh glared down at her as she looked back up at him.
"Do you have anything you want to say?"
"..."
He picked her up by the throat and placed a hand centered at her stomach.
"Long live the King."
Before he could use a blast he was stopped by getting hit by Sting and Rogue while Voxen and Bolto checked to see if Minerva was alright. Tigeress ran to her mother and crouched down to her.
"How is she?"
Voxen frowned.
"She has four broken ribs, her left arm is broken and all the rest are open blood wounds."
Minerva opened her eyes and looked at Tigeress.
"...S-Skye..."
"Don't talk, Mother!"
Minerva just looked at her then she coughed up blood. Voxen and Bolto were getting scared then Minerva's eyes began to close.
"...I-I'm...s-sorry..."
Tigeress placed her hands on Minerva's rib cage and began to heal her.
"I can only stop the bleeding, one of you go look for Isisnah!"
Bolto blinked.
"Isisnah?"
"She's known as Lyonesse but at this minute she is walking through the city!"
Bolto nodded then dashed out of there. Teominh looked back at Tigeress who was healing Minerva then he glared.
"Why are you healing her?!"
Tigeress glared back at him.
"Because unlike you, I forgive her!"
Soon Bolto came back with Isisnah who was in his arms then she ran to help Tigeress help heal Minerva. After healing Minerva Tigeress glared at Teominh with tears forming down her face then she spoke that even her voice alone was more scary as death itself.
"In the future, your daughter will never love you."
After hearing that Teominh backed off leaving but sadly he had taken Skyrhina with him. When Minerva had woken she cried about not being able to save her daughter but was quickly comforted by Violet who had told her about that ahead of time so she would not have to much worry. When it was all over the family from the future all went back home but before Tigeress could leave Minerva grabbed her hand, making Tigeress look at her.
"Is something wrong?"
"I was wondering, who gave you the nickname to be called Tigeress?"
Tigeress smiled and kissed Minerva on the cheek.
"You did. Violet has the ability to time travel and she snuck a peek to the night I was born. She told me that that was the first time you showed affection to me because you were alone and you freely called me that when I was born to the time I was a toddler."
Minerva stared with widen eyes then tears streamed down her face but then she was being hugged.
"I'll see you in 5 years, Mom."
"The same to you, my little princess."
Tigeress smiled then she left leaving.
