(A/N): Time to get this content started. I'm still waiting for submissions so don't worry if you character hasn't appeared yet; I'm just getting the ball rolling with the cast that I already have set and ready to go. It'll be very easy to get everyone into the story at this stage as basically nothing's happened yet.

Thanks for being interested everyone and I do hope you're enjoying the ride so far. I also want to note that I have an excess of guy characters so far so if any of you lovely ladies out there would like to DanMachi-fy yourself, I totally encourage it. At the moment, the guys outnumber the girls 9-5.

Anywho, let's jump back in shall we?

Chapter 1: Hestia's Wish

EDIT: And I did it again...wrong damn document. Every time I name the document the same thing, I need to slap myself with a frying pan. Reread this chapter if you have already; there are a few things that are different.

EDIT 2: Changed the time frames to account for my initial mistake in the prologue. Also forgot to explain a few things so one more read should answer every single question you guys should have.

The Hostess Of Fertility

"Loki-sama...I would love to join your familia..."

I heard Loki scoff as I turned to see her smiling. She placed her hand on the boy's head and ruffled it.

"Get some more hair on your chest and we'll talk kid," she replied with a wink.

Her words seemed to give him some hope and he nodded.

"I've seen some of your leatherworking...it's not half bad for a kid your age," she said.
"T-T-Thank you..." he replied blushing.

She poked him in the head.

"When you get a little stronger, come back to me and we'll talk," she said.

The boy nodded eagerly and left the building as Loki approached me.

"Just couldn't bear to break the kid's hope," she said with a sigh.
"At least you have a sizable familia as it is," I replied rolling my eyes.

Loki snickered.

"Maybe you can use those tits of yours to get some more people to join," she teased.

I shook my head, now very irritated at her jabs.

"Where's that handsome ranger of yours?" she asked.

I shook my head.

"He said he would meet me here this morning," I replied.
"He's a really good man Hestia,"

Loki's face suddenly turned serious.

"I heard about that time when those thieves were trying to kill him when he stole all of the loot they themselves stole," she continued.
"...I'll never forget that day,"

Loki nodded.

"He didn't have to save you but he protected you with his life and look at what's happened in the two years you two have been working together," she said.

I nodded in agreement; Takashi had definitely improved things for me. He always took hunting contracts that made him travel to other parts of the continent and every time he did, instead of using the money on himself he chose to improve things for me...he truly is a selfless person.

"That boy is a keeper Hestia...I truly envy you for having him," said Loki.

I stuck my tongue out at her.

"Maybe you should stop playing hard to get and maybe you'll actually bring in people like him?" I growled back.

Loki chuckled loudly.

"I'll bear that in mind,"

A loud bark suddenly broke me away from my conversation with her...a bark I knew all too well. I smiled as I saw the door open and the elf of my thoughts stepped through.

Standing at 5' 10", Takashi Mashiro was an elf that many women fawned over. Developing quite the athletic build and toning his muscles through his job as a hunter, Takashi was a great example of what an adventurer could truly look like when they push themselves in their training. His signature spiky black hair had grown considerably in volume since the day I met him three years ago, now long enough to nearly cover his golden eyes. I always found it a little unusual that his elf ears were a little longer than usual but it was difficult to pay attention to that whenever he was looking at me.

He was dressed in his ranger's armor, getting it handmade by an elf leatherworker in one of the towns he visited outside of Orario. That armor never showed any signs of wear and tear, which was hard to believe because of how much work he does. This was all covered by a dark brown cloak that he commonly wore over with the hood over his head in tandem with a half mask to hide his identity when traveling. This time however, his hood was down and he was doing something that I rarely see him do...smiling.

I have no idea why I loved it so much when he smiled. Maybe it was because I had grown to love him so much over the two years he's spent with me or maybe it was because he was such a distant and cold person to others, but never to me. His smile was such a rare occurrence that I could remember every moment he did...on two hands. Nevertheless, him smiling could only mean that he had great news. I hadn't seen him in nearly a week; he had to travel south to take care of some feral bears that were attacking some of the traders traveling along the route.

He approached Loki and I and bowed respectfully to Loki, who in turn smiled at him.

"Such a gentleman," she said with a foxy smile.
"My lady, may I borrow Hestia for a moment?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes and got up from my seat.

"Why're you asking her for permission?" I growled.

He looked at me with a blank face and shook his head. Loki laughed softly and rose to her feet as well.

"I have things to take care of so I'll see the two of you later," she said.

She waved as she left the building. My attention returned to Takashi who was still smiling.

"Hestia...I-"

I didn't even give him a chance to say a word before I jumped at him and hugged him. He returned the gesture, embracing me deeply.

"I...wanted to apologize for not being here for this past week; tracking those bears was difficult work even with Fang," he explained.
"You don't ever have to explain yourself to me...as long as you come back to me I'm perfectly happy," I replied.

He released me as he reached into his cloak and pulled out a small bag.

"I managed to find the herbs that you said we should get stock of...it was incredibly difficult to find it but I did," he said.

I took the bag and smiled.

"Who would've thought you'd actually be able to find Silfen Moonblossom down south," I said.
"I had some help,"

As if on cue, Fang walked through the door and sat beside him.

"She found the herbs after looking for about two hours," he explained.

I held my hand out to Fang and she approached me, nuzzling her head against my palm.

"What else happened?" I asked.
"I took care of the bears...and in gratitude for doing so, I got this,"

He reached over to Fang and removed a large sack from the saddle before dropping it on the table.

"We finally have enough money to get an actual residential lot if my math is correct," he said.

My eyes widened.

"But...how did you-"
"I didn't spend a single coin of our earnings for the past six months and I took double the contracts...so now we can finally live in a house," he said.

I smiled and hugged him, completely unable to contain my happiness anymore. He laughed softly.

"All we need now is a familia to live with us," he said.

I nodded.

"Let's work hard then," I said.

He shook his head and sighed.

"Unfortunately, the good news comes with bad news...I've been called to help at the apothecary outside of town," he said.

I sighed deeply as I released him. He looked at me, clearly saddened by the loss of happiness in my face.

"I'll be back tonight...Fang's going to stay with you until I come back because she hurt her right foreleg on the way back," he said.

I nodded slowly.

"I'll see you tonight?" he asked.
"Maybe Fang can give me some good luck,"

He looked at her and rubbed her head.

"Considering that she's never stayed with you for one of your attempts, maybe she can," he said chuckling softly.

Fang was a well known figure in Orario; Takashi was the only one throughout all of the city who actually managed to tame a dire wolf. This species of wolf had an infamous reputation of how deadly their pack hunting could be due to their tremendous size and speed. Takashi however got lucky and found Fang about two years before he met me.

The dire wolf had a very strange growth pattern, most of them reaching full size by about five years into their lifespan of around 70 years. When he first found her, Fang was merely a puppy whose mother had been poached by some hunters. Takashi took care of her despite knowing how dangerous of an animal she was.

When Takashi met me, Fang was already larger than me...though I wasn't very large myself. Within the following two years, Fang nearly tripled in size and was more than strong enough to carry two people with a good amount of load attached to her saddle which Takashi had custom made by a leatherworker named Master Yendor. He however only made her wear the saddle when they were traveling very long distances. Once Takashi reached level 2 a year and four months ago, he gained his Animal Whispering skill which allowed him to fully communicate with her. Now, they were an even better team and she proved invaluable for many things. Now, Takashi finally had time to catch his breath...after this apothecary trip.

I smiled at him.

"Considering how many times I've failed before, I'm not sure I'll be able to," I said.
"I'm sure Vanna and Akio will be happy to help you," he said.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't Vanna go on a hunting trip?" I asked.
"She should be back any minute now considering how good she's gotten at it," he replied.
"And Akio?"
"He was taking leatherworking lessons from Master Yendor," replied Takashi.

I nodded slowly.

"I guess they could help me this time; they spent so much of their time trying to catch up to you that it actually shocked me," I said.
"They both got to level 2 in roughly the same time that I did...I'm quite proud of them," he said with a humble smile.

Considering the sheer amount of work that Takashi did, it was no surprise that he was already a level 3 adventurer and it wouldn't surprise me if I decided to check his stats now, he would have sky high stats. He turned to leave.

"Do you want me to pick you up anything on the way back?" he asked.

I smiled brightly.

"Bring me something nice!"

Later That Night- The Apothecary

I didn't think when they called me to work at the apothecary...they meant for the entirety of the day. The pay wasn't even all that great but I guess the fact that I actually helped save some lives today was reason enough to have come. I'm not entirely sure why so many adventurers were getting injured...maybe it's one of those times when the new adventurers get a little ahead of themselves and try to venture in without any sort of plan. Whatever the reason, I really hope that they'll learn to be more careful; the dungeon forgives no one for making even the slightest mistake.

As I left the store, I suddenly heard a sickening scream. I clenched my fist.

"...I'm sorry Hestia, you're going to have to wait a little longer,"

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to the gates of Orario and leaped into the trees. I pulled my hood over my head and raised the half mask to ensure no one would recognize me as I leaped from tree to tree until I came upon the source of the scream: a woman. I examined her barely standing figure and my eyes widened once I noticed how injured she was.

"What the hell did that to her..."

I looked around for any sign of an assailant but my ears beat me to it; there was some loud barking.

"Feral hounds...should've known there would be more coming towards the woods,"

The woman had silver hair which transitioned rather nicely into a rose gold colored finish towards the end, fair skin and pale grey eyes. Judging from the cat ears, I assumed she was a Cat Person. She was about 5' 8" and had a well toned body with a decent amount of curves. She was dressed in a red loose blouse that was torn at several places as well as a matching skirt.

"Those hounds must've really done a number on her...I'd better get her out of here before they find her,"

As if to prove me right, four hounds appeared from the bushes and eyed her, growling and snarling fiercely. I closed my eyes and began to focus on the environment.

"Rise from the earth, fulfill your purpose to protect thyself and to preserve the life of all the living,"

Large roots soon erupted from the ground and ensnared all four of the hounds as I leaped down from the tree. I heard three more of the hounds coming from the left and I immediately loaded an arrow into my shortbow. I closed my eyes and focused and once I opened them, I saw the hounds leaping towards me. With tremendous speed, I fired the first arrow at the closest one and swiftly repeated the gesture for the next two before rolling out of the way of their incoming bodies. I managed to reach the woman, who looked at me with disbelief.

"H-H-How're you so fast..." she asked.
"We'll talk about this later...right now you need medical attention," I replied.

I placed my bow on my back and picked her up onto my back.

"Judging from that leg wound...there's no way you'll make the walk back," I said.

She blushed profusely and shook her head.

"...This is embarrassing...being saved by some stranger," she growled.

I heard the roots snap and I immediately leaped into a tree, clearing them as fast as my legs could carry the two of us. Knowing full well that the hounds would follow us to the ends of the earth, I closed my eyes and focused once more, searching for any sign of life.

"Defenders of the wood, lend me your aid," I cried out.

I heard the roar of a bear as well as the cries of several birds of prey circling above us. Knowing that I could leave the hounds to them, my focus now was to get the woman back to Orario quickly; I had no idea just how severe her wounds were considering how much of her body the clothing covered. I channeled energy through my body, gathering enough to make my move.

"Hold on as tightly as you can," I instructed.

Her grip tightened greatly in response.

"Swift..."

Meanwhile- Hestia's Church

I guess it was really a good thing that I decided to stay at The Hostess today. Takashi was right when he said that I could do it and I managed to haul in a handful of adventurers today. I managed to get a total of 3 today. But before I even get to the new ones...I couldn't help but think of the two that were already on board with me.

The first of them was Akio Homura. He was a tall boy, 17 year old boy about 5' 11" and of a slender build. He had silver hair with very light skin and wore your average standard tunic with trousers. He wasn't all that impressive visually to be honest but his heart...his heart was what captured my attention.

From the day he decided to join the family a year and eight months ago, I saw a bright and cheerful boy who had a lot of confidence. Though he tended to be shy, especially around women, he and Takashi developed a very respectful relationship with Akio aspiring to be as great as him one day. He had a great amount of willpower and absolutely refused to give up on a challenge, regularly redefining the term "proving others wrong". There were numerous times when he went into the dungeon alone despite the warnings Takashi and I gave him and he still came back just fine. I guess he was really serious about catching up to Takashi; he reached level two within a year and five months of joining the family.

He's a very efficient fighter, making use of some form of magnetism spell to creatively use of that satchel full of knives he always carried. If that wasn't enough, he was pretty handy with that sword on his back though he prefers to use magic most of the time. He was easily the one who killed the majority of the monsters whenever he and Vanna went into the dungeon. Whenever he wasn't in the dungeon, he worked as a leatherworker under the tutelage of Master Yendor, who was a friend Takashi made a year ago who he regularly brought hides to. Though he wasn't quite proficient yet, Akio was very good at tanning hides and made a decent amount of Valis by doing so. I'm sure that if he continues to train, he'll be able to provide armor for all of us.

Then there was Vanna Stillwind. She stood at 5' 6" and had an athletic build though not as clearly defined as the rest of her family. She had long chocolate brown hair, dark brown eyes and skin just slightly paler than cream. She for some reason only wears conservative clothing, revealing only her legs often times if she isn't covered from head to toe and for some reason, she had a tendency to wear a cloak and always have her head covered. I teased her a lot about her modest bust size which she of course would simply brush off most times; she was a pretty fun person whenever she wasn't out hunting. One thing I respect is that she never forgets her roots; she never removes her father's ring unless she's going into water or bathing.

She was an aspiring ranger, very similar to Takashi in her focuses in combat but she was gifted with the power to freeze water. When she reached level 1, she already obtained Icebolt and by the time she reached level 2 roughly two days after Akio, she had developed a spell that allowed to to freeze any body of water in a distance around her by simply focusing and chanting. Her accuracy was also incredible; she was easily able to keep pace with Takashi even though he was a full level ahead of her. She also helped contribute to the funds by becoming a fletcher. In fact, she was good enough at the art to actually attract rangers all around Orario to buy her arrows. The two of them kept me company most of the time; Takashi often traveled outside of Orario for his hunting contracts.

Finally, there were the three adventurers than joined us today.

The first was the happy go lucky half Cat, half Runarl girl named Mira Hitsuka. She was eager to help in any way that she could once she saw me...and something tells me that Fang walking up to her and sniffing her caught her attention as well. She had what I would describe to be an average body figure and average height. She certainly had an athletic build with toned arms and legs, no doubt due to the fact that she wielded that giant scythe she carries around. She had a light, velvet cream skin tone, long rose pink hair with soft curls and pale pink eyes. She for some reason liked to walk around in a casual dress comprised of a ribbon choker on the neck with another ribbon that holds the white dress together. It wasn't form fitting but it was certainly flowy enough to show her body figure. She also has a modest bust size, though isn't what I would consider to be "busty".

Mira already struck me as a very lovable girl; she was very friendly and warm-hearted. She could be a bit of a klutz at times, especially with menial tasks such as carrying a tray of drinks to a table or even running down stairs. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard when I saw her drop her mug and spilled the contents all over Loki...golden memory after just knowing her for twenty minutes. I still didn't fully understand why she decided to convert from Apollo's familia to mine but I guess she had her reasons.

After they all returned from their trip to the dungeon, I was told she has a tendency to worry about comrades and friends. Even though she wasn't the most adept of healers, she knew enough to get the job done. She's apparently witty when faced with enemies, often thinking of the most clever ways to outsmart them and risk the others as little as possible. Akio describes her as "always itching for a fight" and positively loved putting that giant scythe of hers to use. She proved herself a valuable asset to everyone today, especially since they happened to be attacked by a giant spiders which loved to poison adventurers unlucky enough to take them lightly. With that Purify spell of hers, she was a godsend to be with them during that entire ordeal.

Then there were the sisters Hanna and Amie Lee. Absolutely adorable by the eyes but a really strong team when they work together. Hanna seemed to take the initiative to become a very skilled rogue while Amie seemed to want to only support her older sister.

Hanna had long black to green ombre hair and emerald eyes along with a skin tone that was a few shades above cream. She was short in stature, standing at about 5' 5". She definitely had an athletic build with all of the speed and cardio training she put herself through but was by no means toned or large. She wore a black leather jacket over a green dress, ending just above the knees. After examining her stats, I learned that she was rather gifted with electrical magic. She had the ability to produce and conduct strong currents of electricity through herself and just about anything she touches. In addition to that, she was very skilled with daggers and I was even told that she somehow managed to move fast enough to make everyone else look like they were standing still. However...I felt worry go down my spine when I heard that she wanted revenge in her future.

Her sister shared the same ambition...though she seemed a lot sweeter. Amie was a year younger than she was and completely paled in comparison to her sister's prowess. However, Amie made up for it by being an excellent Supporter, sporting a skill that allowed her to effortlessly carry massive amounts of weight which allowed everyone to bring back quite the haul from the trip. Amie for some reason loved to wear a tiger-themed onesie and almost always had the hood over her head. From what I could make out, she was slightly shorter than her sister and wasn't toned or anything of the sort. She was rather timid looking...and I could imagine that she would sit on the sidelines and use that powerful spell of hers whenever she could. After looking at her stats, I found that she had quite a unique ability: Fifth Reflect. It was a shield that's capable of reflecting any offensive magic and quintuple the potency but because her body was so frail, it tired her out greatly to use it.

"Hestia!"

I jolted from my thoughts as I saw Takashi run through the doors with...a woman in his arms?

"She needs help right now," he said.

I nodded as I turned to Amie.

"Go get Mira," I said.

Amie nodded and quickly zipped off downstairs. Takashi placed her on the table in front of us as I began to examine her wounds.

"The fact that she's still conscious right now...that's incredible," I said.

Takashi looked away.

"I was sure I smelled some kind of venom...is it Fellfang Spider venom?" asked Takashi.

I looked at one of the wounds and raised an eyebrow; it wasn't bleeding much despite the size of it. I leaned closer and took a sniff to find a familiar putrid scent.

"She must've been hit by an arrow or a dart that had Fellfang venom in it because some of these wounds aren't bleeding," I said.
"I'll get to work,"

He ran down the stairs and it didn't take long for Mira to come up.

"What can I do?" she asked.
"Cure her of the venom that's going through her veins...but heal the cuts first," I instructed.

Mira shook her head.

"Won't that cause the venom to spread even faster?" she asked.
"If we act quickly, we can stop the spread...just do what I say," I said.

Mira nodded slowly and closed her eyes as she raised her hands over the woman.

"Breathe fresh life into the veins of your unfortunate daughter...mend her wounds with your divine light,"

Her wounds were immediately enveloped golden light and right before my eyes, the wounds began to seal. Within a minute, all of her wounds sealed themselves shut as Mira caught her breath before putting a hand on the woman's forehead.

"Cleansing gold, purge the impurities from this one...purify her to serve the light,"

The woman immediately winced in pain as she opened her mouth. A green smoke began to erupt from her nose and mouth as Mira then placed two hands on her head. After several seconds of channeling, the smoke stopped coming out of her mouth as Mira released the spell.

"She'll be fine if she rests," said Mira.

I smiled at her.

"Thank you Mira," I said.

She smiled at me before turning to go back downstairs. Takashi returned several minutes later with a potion.

"She appears to be half elf...so an elven stamina potion should work just fine on her," he said.

I nodded and took the potion from him as he lifted the woman into his arms.

"Are there others?" he asked.
"One more...but she hasn't returned from the errands I sent her on yet," I replied.

He nodded slowly.

"I'm glad you met these people...else this woman probably would've met her end," he said.
"You'll catch up with them tomorrow," I said smiling.

He carried her towards the living quarters, where he passed by a sleeping Akio and Hanna while Amie was sitting on the bed opposite the one he then placed her in. She slowly opened her eyes as I offered her the potion. She weakly nodded as I poured it down her open mouth. Within seconds, life returned to her body as she looked at me with a grateful smile.

"Thank you for your help...you must be Hestia," she said.

I nodded and looked at Takashi, who was leaning against the wall and looking out the window.

"He's the one who brought you here...I just helped," I replied.

The woman smiled.

"He must be the one that they call the Wolf Tamer?" she asked.
"You know his alias huh?" I replied with a smile.

She nodded slowly.

"It's hard not to hear of him when everyone looks up to him," she explained.

Takashi turned to her and examined her.

"The elven brew I made you clearly worked well...just get some rest and you'll be fine in the morning," he said.

He pulled his hood over his head and began to head out the door.

"Where are you going?" I asked.
"To the dungeon...we're going to need enough Valis to get her a room in the new lot," he replied.

I raised an eyebrow.

"What makes you so sure she'll join us?" I asked.
"Because she told me she would if I saved her life," he replied.

He whistled loudly and within seconds, Fang was at his side.

"Let's go," he said.

The two of them left the room. I turned back to the woman and smiled.

"So you want to join the familia?" I asked.
"With someone as kind as he is...why would I not join?" she replied.

I nodded as she held out her hand. I took it and began to chant softly.

"I'm converting from my old familia because I have no interest in their motives anymore," she said.

I looked at her in disbelief; another person who converted?!

"From who?" I asked.
"Apollo's...it's straight up boring over there so I'm definitely more interested in being here," she explained.

A blue light enveloped her body as I finished my chant.

"You have my blessing," I whispered.

She smiled at me.

"Nice to meet you Hestia, my name is Nana Ito!"

Later That Night- Takashi's Room

I hung up my cloak on the rack beside my door as Fang came inside and laid down beside the bed.

"Are you going to tell me the real reason why you went into the dungeon tonight?"

I closed my eyes and shook my head.

"You should be sleeping...' I said.

I felt arms around my neck and weight against my back.

"You know that I'll never sleep unless I know that you're alright," she replied.

I sighed softly as I carried her over to the bed and sat down. Hestia sat beside me.

"What's on your mind?" she asked.

~ o ~

"...I almost failed that woman today because I was too slow...and if I had gotten there even a minute later, who knows what could've happened," he said.
"You can't blame yourself for what could've been Takashi,"

I approached him and hugged him from behind.

"You made it there and you saved her...you did well today," I said in a soothing voice.

His tense body soon began to relax.

"...She would be very proud of you," I whispered.

Those words seemed to be the ones he needed to hear as he soon began to break down. It was no secret to me that Takashi still kept his mother in his thoughts. How he longed to go out and find her...but as a level 3 adventurer, there's no way he would be safe to do it on his own.

"You're not an invincible wall Takashi...you have emotions just like any of us and you know I'm always here for you...I love you like my own son," I whispered.

I gently stroked the back of his head.

"You're not alone...you have friends here that love you and if nothing else...you always have me,"

He turned around and buried his head in my neck. I knelt down fully to accommodate his height and I gently embraced him as he sobbed silently. He wasn't the most stable of people; traumatic events in one's childhood would obviously have that effect on someone but he always tried to do the right thing because it's what his mother taught him to do. Even if it meant risking his life, Takashi could always be counted on to do the right thing. I felt his body shiver and it wasn't long before I felt his tears on my skin. I hushed him as best I could, feeling tears within my own eyes welling up.

"He finally decided to trust me...he finally opened up and let out all of the suffering he's felt for all this time..."

I hugged him closer to me and he simply allowed me to, crying almost silently for several minutes until he finally stopped.

"You need some rest now...we'll figure everything out in the morning," I said.

I guided him to the top of the bed as he slowly lowered his head to the pillow. His face was blank but his puffy eyes was all the indication I needed to know that he was still in pain.

"Just go to sleep...it's alright...I'm here,"

I hugged him to me after dousing the lantern and after several minutes, he finally fell asleep.

"You suffer so much...you need someone to take care of you in a way that I cannot...you need to find someone who can truly fill that void in your heart,"

...

I closed Takashi's door behind me, sighing in relief that he fell into a deep sleep.

"Is he alright?"

I turned to see Vanna with a very concerned look on her face. I nodded slowly.

"He just needed to let out a few things...he'll be fine," I replied.

Vanna sighed.

"I'm heading out early for the dungeon...so I was hoping you could check my stats?" she asked.

I nodded she raised her shirt and turned her back. I examined the blue letters on her back and my eyes widened.

"...Incredible...her dexterity is numerically higher than Takashi's when he was this level..."

"Wow...you've passed Takashi's Dexterity when he was your level," I said.

Vanna nodded slowly.

"Am I in good shape to for level 3?" she asked.
"Yes but I believe you should wait just a little longer; since you and Akio were already eligible for an update...I think you all should go to the dungeon together tomorrow to train a little more," I said.

Vanna nodded obediently.

"I'm a long way behind Takashi in other ways...but I know that I will surpass him," she said.

I smiled at her enthusiasm.

"You've got a lot of heart Vanna...that's something we need here," I said.

She smiled at me.

"Thank you for letting me join this familia so long ago...I'm still dead set on getting good enough to join Takashi as an equal but just know that I'll do all I can to make things easier for everyone," she explained.

With a final nod, Vanna left to her room. I looked to the moon and closed my eyes.

"If I could have a wish right now...it would be for my familia to get along with each other and do their best...watch each others backs so I don't have to worry myself half to death,"

I smiled and laughed softly.

"Hopefully...we can all be one big happy family after everyone warms up to each other,"
