So I hope you enjoy it. Let's get into this awesome chapter. It's pretty romantic. I mean the story is mostly a romance after all.

Next day.

Nikki

I heard some soft barking at my bed at the bottom of my bed and her bed lady. I almost forgot she was there. I got up and let her out to go potty like always I was dressed obviously at least in my pajamas I did this before would woke up I wanted him to sleep. He was battling hard last night before dinner so I wanted to rest my love.

So obviously, I want him to rest. My sisters have been taking care of her, but when I moved to Ireland, she would be moving too. I moved to live there permanently. I mean she is my puppy after all. I love her very much. This is not true that as much as I love my love.

But I also love the kittens is what are cat and the kittens as well Luna Artemis, and Diana, but I wanna leave at least three of them for my sisters to keep and I'll keep the puppy because the kittens would be a little more of a handful on ion I don't know. I'll have to ask my sister which one would be the best.

They told me I'd have to travel up and down to take care of the lady if that's the case and if we can't clean up the guild here we'll have to rebuild a new one and will Crane have this site? Father can move our house move the villa and Ion can move somewhere else like Orem Hala, and then we can rebuild a new guild. .

Or Crane can go build himself a new guild somewhere else or he can keep this site and we can move somewhere else. I have to talk to Luther about it soon there's no way we can keep this side and those who were loyal to us can leave with us they can leave and come on in.

And Mother can build us a new guild for us near Blood Moon Haven in Orem, Hala.

It might make it easier for us too.

Or if we can get Crane in jail, we wouldn't have to, but I know him he'll get out of jail and want to cause trouble. Well, we'll make sure of that. Make sure that he doesn't make any trouble for us.

After I cleaned up the pool and we didn't leave it out I took her inside and cleaned my hands then I went to take a shower. My love was just now waking up. Where were you? He said I reached over and you were gone. I just want to take the lady for a walk. I said she needed to go. Potty sisters have been taking care of her while I've been down here while I've been up on ion, but I haven't been taking care of her lately. Also, I've been cleaning out the litter boxes for the kittens. That's what I was doing I said.

And given them food, he smiled you take great care of your pets, don't you? He asked yes I said I love them very much just as much as you maybe more. I love you more than you than them, but you know what I mean he smiles back. And I wouldn't take away what you care about your family, including the furry people in your family I laugh.

Come, let's go have breakfast.

OK, he said sisters got something good for us your sisters can cook well I heard him say I smiled the way that my sisters can cook well they had to know how to cook well. I said because they had to cook all my favorites when I got old enough my parents are not my parents never cooked all the foods I liked, that's what I know all these human good dishes I said they have found on how mother has given them terms on how to cook food here in Alencia so they can cook both human food and food I don't know which one you like best we're gonna have the All-Star breakfast, including Alcian food and human world food.

That sounds great. Luther said as he took my hand.

Having all this yummy food for breakfast foods I never got to have foods that you eat on the usual basis somehow my sisters had gotten hell to figure out how to ship things from the human world and got a license for it here in Alencia like what we don't have the land for it like what he has again a farm he made a face. We need it for our human world animals for food and other things just for our group mostly I don't think anyone else in Valencia would eat it. .

We also had a lot of food that we brought from the human world. I said when we came, we bought a lot of groceries and things that didn't spoil that's why our kitchen is so well stocked plus we had extra food from the house if we had any left if you have a map out the back yard we can build a garden, and a little area for our animals. If you can figure out how to get us the best pigs we have pigs and regular pigs we won't mate with each other, obviously, and show us how to grow. The dragon that Luther said as he held my hand great that would be good.

Then we can go to the back of the house and check it out if you'd like let's do that. I said after I eat breakfast, OK he said, and like I said, our friends from the human world were sending us stuff. My sister knows how to receive and send and request things from the human world, even though we're dead there, but it'll be the last thing we get from there.

Including materials for Barnes in a smokehouse, I said.

We also dig special ponds for fishing. I mean, we can get fish. We couldn't get fish anywhere else. No cause Ravenwood hasn't been restored yet. Luther said once we restore Ravenswood then we can have a good fishing market.

That sounds great too bad to land for Lyle was cursed I said or my sister and I could've made that our state and kept the guild where it is make it a separate estate, of course.

Our salon is in Orem Hall, so we don't need to worry about that.

Or we can make this our whole estate I said on this whole island yes you know you don't have nightshade forest figures but we can take care of that.

He smiled no one that we can bait this whole area. This was separated into states. We went in the backyard after eating dinner after eating breakfast my sisters and I Luther Ash and the team also joined us for breakfast.

Then we went outside. My sister's friends didn't disappoint. They sent us everything we needed somehow and they received it through their magic. We need to build this. My sister said we won't build it today, but we will need to build it. We'll have fresh regular chicken eggs besides Griffin eggs we haven't had eggs in a long time.

Ashbrown, when he found out, we were building a farm here why Ash asked so we could have fresh organic food that we used to have besides the stuff that we normally eat now some muffs too will be nice to have fresh bacon and for you to try human world bacon, to cows for actual milk and we'll figure out how to get dwarf and milk as well. We have cheese and milk and things we couldn't have for a long time and things like that.

Scarlett asked because she visited it as well when you go to the store and stock up, we don't know where a lot of grocery stores are. My sister said, but if we can figure out if there were we could buy and stock up as well, but we can have fresh butter fresh milk, and fresh cheese. We learn how to do all this on our own, I'm surprised none of our farmland came with us. We did sister Noel said we got extras though too had a farm. Well, we have full estates, and even though we only had a villa we had to make sure we had fresh everything even though we went to the store and bought a lot of things too.

Also, we have some fresh wool and things cause we're gonna have sheep and lambs as well and Muffies don't worry Father's gonna send us plenty of those also will build our own little stable for Griffin's baby Griffin has been given to us and we will build a stable for them.

and a beautiful dog house for a lady

And a cat house for the kittens.

And like I said, we'll have ponds for fishing will make a pond for the fish of Valencia and a pond for our human fish. That way we don't mix species so you can have experience of eating different kinds of food.

If Praying does survive and doesn't go into jail he runs off and builds him a new guild somewhere probably in the old wispy Brooks area, Westbrook area, probably more likely or the old Lyle ruins or somewhere we can buy this whole area as our estate and build on and make this beautiful home into a beautiful mansion Luther Noel said to my sister, you can put your castle next to our home and it won't have to float over Timecrest guild because we'll be here or you can put it in the center of the guild whatever you decide.

I won't make a decision yet he says, holding my hand in his. I think I already asked her father for her hand, so I'm gonna ask her to marry me soon he looked at me and looked at me into my face. I smiled my sister smiled. Everyone clapped and cheered when are you gonna ask? Noel asked soon Luther said.

As soon as I go and speak to Jason Gwen, I don't know if I'll use that Lily ring that I made for Riley. I might use that for now. He said then I'll make a new ring. It'll be a promise ring for the time being he said he put those Lily rings on my hand. It wasn't a full engagement yet. And not a full one get down on my knees, romantic moment this was just a ring for a promise for a moment I promise to be engaged soon The big engagement party that wasn't for a while either at our welcome home party.

It's not what I was wanting to give you he said I smiled anyway it'll be a great holding promise. I said all right then don't worry until I can get a good ring. This is what you're gonna be wearing darling. It was barely worn anyway it was beautiful a little ring. It was really pretty. It was different. That was for sure. I had no big diamonds or anything like that, but it was still pretty.

We'll get her finger size too. My sister said somehow good because that way we could have a picture of it and then we could give it to Jason. Winn and Jace can make a beautiful ring for my love.

He can make one-of-a-kind pieces. This was a one-of-a-kind piece. I'll keep it as one of my pieces even though you made it for Riley, I said even after you use it as a promise ring I'll keep it as another jewelry piece he smiles, knowing that I will keep this as my first piece of jewelry that he has ever given me.

I know I had jewelry from my sister Hammy Downs, but that was fine too. We had all kinds of precious jewels. We were rich, and even though we had a villa I had a lot of family pieces. This was even more special than any of those special family pieces.

What do you like he asked what do you mean I asked I mean what are your favorite things besides myself I laughed planting a kiss on Luther's face on his lips you know I love lady. Yes, I know you loved your dog and what else Luna Diana and Artemis.

And I love my sisters. I said I can see that he said family is so important to you. I'll have some special gifts made for you soon, darling. I smiled knowing that you'll have other special gifts made soon for me.

We can make jewelry too. My sister said we just aren't known for it because we mostly do our salon stuff and we're very creative with our nails.

Those are a few things that she does love my sister said besides the two of us and you we'll have a family portrait done soon Luther said of all of us, and you can hang in your villa we would love to have that We have no family portraits in our home that is so sad well we never had any family port because we always kept them at her parent's house or evil parents house. They took pictures of us, but that was the pretend that they loved us. We took a lot of photographs and put them in our house.

But they're not from when she was a baby when we were able as soon as we were able to take pictures of her later, and we stocked our house full of them.

Any achievements she has won or any surfing contest she has won. We have taken photos of it and videoed it and everything we made Home videos of them of everything we have done. We raised Nikki when she got old enough we weren't old enough at seven.

Luther smiled don't worry girls I'll take care of your sister. You know that we know that and she'll be moving on. I am moving onto into ion soon when that happens charity lives on ion we laugh before the wedding Luther'll need to live in the villa for a while.

Of course, he said, kissing my hands. I adore you with any kind of presence he said, Surprise everything you will have everything Nikki and your sisters too. I'll even have special jewelry pieces made for all three of you for certain things since you love each other so much I can talk to you about that as well.

Sounds good.

I smiled again once again, knowing that everything was gonna be OK now I wore Riley's old ring for the time being for a promise ring but I'll keep it as one of my pieces because it was barely even worn by Riley.

He told me it was OK because Riley barely wore it and she discarded it anyway OK, but is the first jewelry piece that Luther has ever given me and the first present he's given me.

If your age, if we just changed and yours will too right, yes everyone will age up soon. I said, and Noel and Joelle said we will all age soon and will be at our proper ages. Nikki will still be older than you.

You and Alencia and everyone will start feeling it whatever Nikki did the world will rebalance sounds great. We need it to be rebalanced. I told you I said I separated everything I said to Luther our world from the world of the game so that they wouldn't get back mixed up and we start over again so we can move forward.

We all should age 6 years good I'm sick of saying 29 he said no that's correct Ash will not be 16. No, I should Ash should be closer to being an adult now.

And anyone who was who was 16 before, but in the game, Cannon, they'll stay those ages and you'll stay those ages and also in the game code. I said I write your memory of me why because of the game memory you shouldn't remember that I exist.

No one in that world will understand that we even exist. It's a separate universe. I separated it from our world completely. And in that universe, my sister and I don't exist, and we are not daughters of Ezra.

That makes sense. I heard my love say he wrapped his arms around me to sing me slowly and beautifully. But in this world we do, I said the world gets to move forward on the timeline.

We will move forward and not backward, I said, and we will not go back to the beginning.

Every once smile, knowing that that will be the case.

No, let us go and finish cleaning up the guild and that is what we did. We went back and finished our work with the guild. There wasn't much to do rebuilding everything else was not gonna be easy but we were gonna do it later once that gets done, then will reopen the guild soon too, but not yet there's a lot of rebuilding we cleaned up. Everything was done, no it was but it was more of the it was more like is more time to just rebuild everything. The buildings everything.

And throwing out things that were damaged and bigger and better blocks. I was thinking of something better than blocks. I said oh Luther said what I was thinking more like dormitories but or more like apartments I mean they are apartments but bigger bigger bigger don't worry, sister my sisters and I have all the gold we would want to build this crane like this who cares we're gonna be the new guild master Noel and Joelle said so doesn't matter.

No, no no it doesn't matter girls. I see your vision we can bring it to life. It'll look great. Don't worry and the blocks will look better too. And a new more beautiful gardens and a new and better Apple courtyard everything And a new grand library. The library is still standing oh the places that Ash and the other saved are still standing.

Then we just need to rebuild the places that just need to be rebuilt that we cleaned yes.

And we did.

And then Luther left for a while.

Indicated to me that he had a surprise for me. I can't wait to find out what it is. He's always full of surprises at times.

So he told me to wait and that's what I will do. I will wait. Oh, wait to see what he has a store for me.

I bet it's very romantic my sister is assured that it will be that I told you nothing but the best for me and give me nothing but the best.

Luther

He told her I'll be back soon. I have a big surprise for you a big romantic, but I can't tell you what it is. She smiles and hugs in. OK, I trust you, darling. He kisses her. Everyone. Cheers to everyone, but the villains in the group, and the only villain in the group was Crane why was he still standing there well it won't matter until after the guild is rebuilt, and the new guild masters are established crane will be locked in prison at least that'll be the just way of dealing with him at least for the time being.

For now, that would be the best way of dealing with someone like him he's not gonna let this ruin his perfect date and his perfect date in love with his love Nikki has everything he loves and she loves her family. She loves that she loves her family and her animals and his family at least with Ash and Scarlet too.

He'll bring the ashes of Scarlet into their plan, but not yet he'll take Scarlet and Ash with him when he goes and picks up the surprise first he has to go and have it made, and he has to go alone. It was the only way to no one would get suspicious. The only thing he got was the ring size from his from her sisters asking her ring size just in case they told him and he went. He went to speak with the experts when it came to jewelry.

He came to their shop and knocked on the door just Jason and now a female voice said master Kronos it's good to see you. It's good to see you too Miss Gwen she says right Gwen is your brother around. Yes, of course, he is just waiting here for a moment as he sits and waits.

He looked around at all the jewelry that was displayed everywhere and all the display cases that said please don't touch it and not for sale this jewelry store was highly respected and highly regarded as the best and best and all Valencia the best jewelry store in the whole world.

I've kinda made a special piece he said as Gwen came back into the room Jason also went to the room. Oh Jason said we're not at her head for who you wouldn't believe me Luther said as he looked them in the eye, but someone special has finally returned to Alencia. You can try us Gwen said yes Jason said.

Good because if you believe me then good because I want you to make several gifts for me gifts Jason said is he not at his head vigorously of course anything for you Master Kronos he said Happy and his head.

Tell us who she is Gwen required.

Wow, Luther explained is the ultimate princess of all of Valencia. She is the princess of all of Alencia more than queen than princess Riley. She is the daughter of Porsche and Ezra she has they had three daughters. I think we remember that Gwen said Noel and Joelle and their baby sister Nicole Jason know his head yes I think I remember that, but they're young. Their children were stolen from them. They're in the great war it was in our history, Luther I guess you didn't know about it. No, I didn't not at first not till recently.

The girls were beloved all over the land Gwen said, especially the two older daughters before Nikki was born. They were young, but they were still wise. They were at least seven years old when the young Nikki was born it was the young princesses who disappeared. They're back Luther said their grand welcome home party isn't for another few more weeks or months maybe oh I want a grand celebration of jewelry for that as well for all the girls I would love to make a beautiful jeweled statue for them. Jason said if you give me their details of what they look like, I can make a whole jewelry-inspired piece of their whole family in a self-portrait of the girls, Ezra and it's weird because Ezra is a recluse but now he's not Porsche that would be lovely and I can provide. I am for some of the piecing It would be nice if you help out Luther with jewelry pieces and gifts for my Nikki I fell for the young girl I mean I'm falling in love with her. I saved her from death, not several times.

And I want a lot of these gifts made for her welcome home party why yes of course what do you need to make a locket for a necklace locket will take a picture and put it in it later, but I want a beautiful jeweled locket made of gold with beautiful jewels on it emerald mostly because her eyes reflect the color of her eyes and lean it with gold the beautiful gold chain.

Then I wanted an engagement ring made I'm done here was the one that I got from the Riley timelines that I told you about the travel in time with me, but it doesn't fit her finger properly. I got her a ring size. What does she want as a ring, what are her things her favorite things Jason asked what do you want? It made out of a band to be made of silver Luther said that it doesn't contrast too much with the gold Ness of her necklace.

Oh, and I want the locket heart-shaped that is that'll be easy to do. Jason said now for the ring I want to be a silver band align with jewels in the shape of three favorite things or four favorite things besides her sisters and me her cat Luna is white, I mean a black cat sorry Artemis, who is a black-white cat Diana, who is a gray kitten which is a gold and red cocky cocker spaniel dog.

And decorated with emeralds.

Anything for the young princess?

What do you tend the ring to be for an engagement ring? Luther said I'm planning on getting engaged to her soon. I wanna have an engagement party for her to celebrate at her homecoming, but I wanna have a private engagement with her. I put a promise ring on her, but I want a real engagement ring for her and not secondhand said anything for the other girls I don't know they didn't say anything, but maybe you can make them all three of them. They are Royals after all can be given to them as gifts from the two of you Gwen her head yes Tara I was thinking of that. Jason said I was thinking of making tiaras for the three of them that you mentioned about, thinking one of them is gonna be our second right force.

Gold or silver and what jewels do you want Jason asked a mixture of Rubys and emeralds the center jewel should be an emerald for each one soft turquoise aquamarine for Nikki's for her secret, her sea green eyes, and a soft ice blue color stone, maybe topaz blue topaz or something for the green of the girl's eyes.

What about lapis razory that could work even better yes lapis lazar would be even better for the girls.

Will these crowns be stunning master time master Kronos I'll be back soon to pick them up all the gifts. The crowns I will hide and the other jewelry pieces but I want the ring package right away of course and if you want any other gifts, let me know.

I will let you know Luther said.

What color do you want the eyes of the dogs and cats? I don't know what color the eyes are. The dog is brown probably so whatever brown would be a good stone color the eyes of Luna would be red and Artemis has blue eyes and golden eyes for Diana. And I wanna an amethyst heart in the sinner right away. It will be ready soon maybe in a few weeks.

Do you want anything special on the locket a heart-shaped made of amethyst embellished with the two other stones that we are putting in the ring with the stones that are in the ring of course?

Luckily Luther has some liquid. I am with him. He made some liquid. I have stones and gave them to Jace. Thanks. I'll use these. He says you're talented. I am very extraordinary.

Luther paid the gold that was needed, which was a lot for two pieces, and additional pieces the crowns of the Tianas the girls never own tiaras and this would be great for them.

After that, he left.

Because he needed to come up with a romantic gesture to give her the beautiful ring, of course, she will own the lily ring and have it resized when he comes back to Jason Gwen's shop later he will have the Lily ring readjusted as well as a piece to keep for Nicole to keep as a memory of the game because she told him all about it so he'll give an additional piece they'll have it resized she'll have it as an extra jewelry piece.

You thought I should get gold tiaras, but I think silver is better but now he was happy his love is gonna have a beautiful ring to wear and another extra beautiful ring to wear.

Also, he'll go back to Jason Ginn to let them make their wedding bands, golden wedding bands as they wear in the human world.

I mean the first jewelry set of a wedding collection for Jace, which would be fine. He's never made a wedding set before two beautiful golden bands simple.

He would use his parent's wedding bands, but his parents were killed with their wing rings on their hands and he never got a chance to take them from them.

But these will be made special maybe with a few little stones on there maybe aligned with diamonds like it has a gold band but in line with diamonds.

Maybe the two of them can design their wedding bands together that would be nice.

No plan for the most perfect romantic date that was gonna be a more difficult thing to do. I need to take her somewhere special. But where to go the coast was too far away. There had to be somewhere special they could go besides just ion where they could be alone and romantic at least for that part of it.

Maybe he can pull off the coast yes even though it was far he can teleport them there and teleport back and they can be alone at least for a little while at least for that part of the party at least they have a picnic on the beach perfect she loves the coast and surfing so the coast would be perfect.

No, it was planned. They're going to the coast perfectly.

They can walk along the coast and then later he gets on one knee and proposes they can have a romantic dinner as a picnic on the beach perfect perfect perfect all of it sounded great and perfect.

Don't have a picnic and wash the sunset and then he'll propose tonight as they watch the sunset.

Well, maybe not tonight but whenever the ring is ready, that's when he'll propose that is what he'll ask her.

He has to make it special and perfect Nikki isn't the same as Riley so he needs to make this perfect but also messy if he doesn't make it completely perfect I mean he's not perfect.

He knows that much.

To come pick it up, he'll bring Ash and Scarlet too.

And maybe the girls maybe not.

But that is his plan the perfect one the show is love for his love.

They show how much he loves Nicole Nikki, Nikki he doesn't need to do that much because he loves her anyway.

As I finish up, cleaning up the guild and building up their estates for the girls building up more of their home life that they used to have in the human world comments on how beautiful their farm looked compared to what was in Lyle and it wasn't cursed, even as agreed to it looks great girls both siblings said looking at Nicole and Joelle Joelle and Noel and Nicole and Nikki. All three of them smiled. This was my childhood home Nikki Nikki admits well when I was a teenager when my sister grew up it was time here on the ranch was a dream for me not to work or anything, but just being here and all these animals.

They asked us what kind of animals live here we will show you soon or maybe we can show you now since we have a break from the guild work and rebuilding the guild. Noel and Joelle said come they said to the siblings and they're younger and they're younger sister.

They showed him around and they rebuilt everything depending on the animals. The separate ponds for the different kinds of fish would be glad that you're going to help us rebuild. This Noel said to Luther Luther smiled at Noel. Yes, I do anything for you and your sisters for you and Nikki he says to her.

Our villa isn't just any ordinary villa, it's a ranch villa, a ranch house, but more like a mansion or villa.

Nikki would come here and spend time and do more than just so we do more than just surf. If it was too cold for surfing at times we'd spend time here. A separate house appeared with the ranch alongside the villa. The ranch was a separate place, but it looked nice next door to it.

We built this house Noel said Joelle just knotted. Well, we didn't do it ourselves. We had people build it for us, but we had it built for us. It's a charming house. The siblings commented that they wanted inside not like the house and Lyle that Ash used to live in it's a lot bigger Ash said oh yes, it's about three stories high or more.

Complete with the carriage house and everything you need barn as I rebuilt everything except for the house and the barn everything looked great

Including the horse corral when I didn't go surfing, I rode horses. Nikki said she climbed on the back of her horse. It's been a while since I rode she wrote around the corral. Luther and Ash were astonished to see how well she could ride.

Now that we have all this here, we'll have a lot more work to do, but I think we can do this. We will help Luther said Ash not at his head too yeah will help. Ash said we pitch in and help out. You don't have to do all this alone girls The three of them smiled and the siblings hugged them.

The camper was sent to the side and the car was inside the garage now everything looks like a normal home again and their shop Hella made everything seem right again.

Showing that they were the third richest family in all of Alencia and they were worried worthy of their status as such.

Their little ranch looks beautiful. The guild was also starting to look great too. The rebuilding at the guild looked awesome. You three will be great owners of it. Luther said to the girls at two will make it the richest guild and all of Alencia even more than it is, Noel said don't worry Luther everything will turn out great.

It will make the gilded part of our states buy it out as well sounds good if you own it then that will make it easier for me Luther said and I won't have to fly over it anymore. Maybe I can set my beautiful home next to your home. Of course, we'll get it off from Nightshade Forest and all that we were not on that of course why would you own something so creepy?

But we own everything else eventually, we'll buy it out. Luther smiled. Nikki smiled. Everyone was happy.

Then everyone went home.

back inside the villa

Nikki

I went to my room inside my home, not on ion but in the villa, I still had a lot of things in my room here as soon this won't be my home I mean it'll always be my home and Luther's home, but I only keep a few things here I mean, this was practically my child at home at least up through my teenage years and now that the ranch is back that makes me happy I can ride again. I love surfing, but it'll be difficult to surf at the beach. We don't know what the waves and water are like, but we'll go surfing too. He promised that.

Our lives are gonna be back to normal somewhat, but I will tell him how I grew up in the human world, and my sisters were gonna show him and tell us about how they grew up in the past before the war and what their lives were like, of course, this was all before Luther was born.

I went to my jewelry box. I had pieces that my sisters bought me in the human world. Mother and father never bought us jewelry because it was against our religion, but my sisters and my sister bought me all kinds of jewelry. I never wore them around mother and father or my fake parents, I should say, but the jewel box was even Luther never seen it. I kept it hidden. I will show him my jewelry box but not now.

But I will show him one day. I took off the ring that he gave me and put it in the box for the time being it was special he had it resized or he's going to have it. He told me that was nice to be a piece for me to keep it meant to be for Riley from the past, but now it's mine.

I put it amongst all of my other pieces, so my sisters have got me over the years.

After that, I rested for a while I was exhausted.

later that week

Nikki

The guild was starting to look great. It was starting to look better now that we cleaned it up and started rebuilding everything. Of course, Oliver just watched us do it. He didn't get himself involved in the work of rebuilding. He just watched everyone do it himself even though the people who were on his side as minors of the guild even pitched in to help rebuild my sister's also helped. It was a big deal. Pora and Fogar also helped. They didn't like seeing the Gild in this mess.

After a week or so, he looked great not ready for reopening yet, but it looked awesome nonetheless.

After we were done and getting ready for the reopening in a month or two, Oliver came up to us and glared at me well he said, Miss Nikki. He says Karen in his voice. I can't believe you did this human rebuild our guild. I'm not human I said again, you wear human clothing at times and jewelry and things I'm not human I said again you are human and I will have you and your sisters chained for breaking the law for being here Luther two they're worse things to be worried about than chaining us. I said, glaring it all over.

Oh, like what he asked well the war we have a feeling that the war is coming back what war Oliver asked you don't know and you'll never know unless you get recruited to be in it and we hope that's not the case but if it does, we will defeat you if there is he says you, my dear will go back to that human world. I can't for one I'm dead there. Do I care or do I think it's fair now? I don't care if you can't return if even if you die going I'm not going back and you can't send me back. I'm natural yeah like I believe you that you and your sisters are natural.

And like don't pull that stunt that says you were Ezra's kids because Ezra doesn't have children he never did. He never had kids he doesn't care about our world. Why would he care about you or any of us?

And Kronos doesn't care about you either It hurt hearing that Luther doesn't love me which isn't true. I knew Luther loved me. He saved me from the dream version of my evil man and the physical version of him. He loves me very much and I wanna marry him he's gonna ask me to marry him and I'm going to.

They're all over just left like he'll marry you a human you think that would do you think that's what he will do and you're not a princess or even a native of this world I am I said again slowly.

And we will take your place as guild masters like you have the right to do that all of her sudden sneered you think you have the right I do I said again I do.

I'm gonna become the second mage of Valencia and once I do, you'll be kicked off the council for good all crane.

Like you have very little magic how could you become powerful enough to be on the council? I'm a lot more powerful than you think. My sister and I have more elements than just the ones we use for the trials we can cast all elements except magic. Except for time magic

I said, as I walked away from Oliver, he glared at me as I walked off with my sisters. Everyone praised how beautiful we rebuilt this place and how beautiful it looked and that we did a great job even the ministry Ayres, who was on all of our side also agreed with how well my sister and I did and rebuilding this place and how the three humans were able to build a beautiful guild even the golds also admired our work for that work we were promoted by the other two guild masters.

We were promoted right away up to silver, but we were still part of Ash's team for the time being we had to be promoted pretty heavily and highly should become part of the guild and become guild Masters.

We got the promotion because we helped out with rebuilding this place and making it look better than it ever has.

We also got pretty close to the sub-master we passed gold up to the sub-master.

Which angle a lot of goals and silvers alike like Connor he came up to the three of us. How dare you three move up so quickly you all are human there's no way y'all could've moved up so quickly we are natural. My sister said to us.

Where are the daughters of Ezra of course we move up faster than most of you Noel said and Joel agreed and I did too

Then it was done for the day and Luther and Ash left and Scarlet. They left for a moment while I went back home.

Has Luther said he had a date for me playing for us tonight so I had to get dressed and beautiful.

I changed and wanted to my favorite outfits. You didn't tell me what we're doing, but I've spent some time getting dressed and getting all pretty up.

I put on the dress it was a sundress, not like the one Riley wore on her timeline, but it was close but cuter I fixed my hair and a cute style and put on some makeup and a few pieces of jewelry I looked great. My sister even commented so.

And even Annelise, who is there to help also noticed how beautiful I looked.

I finished up, making me look more more pretty, but prettier my strawberry blonde hair with hints of copper at the end was finished up with some beautiful embellishments.

meanwhile

at the jewelry store

Luther

He returned after a week or so after the piece was done and the pieces that he had made the others he had to hide obviously and take them back to ion but the ring box with the engagement ring inside he put in his pocket after expecting it just like the timeline except for a little difference there obviously but Scarlet was there too. His guardian the person he looked up to as a mother for all these years was also sitting next to him.

The beautiful jewelry store had jewelry everywhere camas that said do not touch any of these pieces are not for sale. Teresa's sister Gwen came into the room to see you Kronos. She says and misses Scarlet and Ash to welcome them.

Ash and Scarlet were eating chocolates. Ash was very satisfied with his taste in the chocolates and so was Scarlet her bone face lit up and happiness. This is light bliss. She said what do you think Ash HMMM said hum hum hum hum hum he said Yum nice and creamy. I believe you're right chocolate is so good she said and the tea is exquisite don't you think Ash smiled I think you should have some brother Ash Ash encouraged all right. Luther said taking it from Ash pretty good and the tea as well. It's a great treat before I go on my amazing date with Nikki later. We're so happy for you right Ash yes, Ash said.

This wasn't his first date. He had one on the Riley timeline with Riley and on the main timeline he had a date with Scarlett at one point, but that date didn't go so well and that's why they chose not to date or for him to have any kind of romance with her and she agreed.

Besides soul kept sticking his nose into that and that was enough for him. He couldn't take it. He keeps protecting her from the soul, but always thinks of her as a sister or a mother figure and asks her to see that in Scarlet as well. Ash also openly admitted that Allison is a love interest, even though in the game code Allison will die over and over again, no matter what the human pics in this universe that they created in this new universe Allison is alive and Ash was talking about his new fine feelings with Allison both Luther and Scarlet were happy for Ash to Maybee you should take some of these chocolates for her smile. You're right maybe I should take some of these for Allison.

When the pieces came back out when she came out after saying goodbye Jay said goodbye to the ring Gwen came back out with the pieces in the bag. Can you do us a favor? Since these treats are complementary and we get these every time we come and visit for free, could you wrap up these chocolates fresh as a gift for someone, of course, Gwen says that she wraps up the chocolates. She goes back and wraps up chocolates for Allison Miles knowing that he has a gift for his friend as well as one of his best teammates.

After they were done and they said goodbye to Gwen and got their gifts, she said to think of any more gifts. Let us know if you think of any more gifts that you'd want to give to the lovely Nicole I will do anything for you thank you. Luther says he loves leaves with Ash and Scarlet, and you'll be on your own for dinner Luther says he wants Dash I won't be alone. I'll go eat at the Villa Ash said. Scarlet and I will go eat at the Villa with Noel and Joelle. All right then that's fine. You don't have to eat an ion if you don't want to.

As separates go back to the island to get ready for dinner at the Villa Luther returns to ion back to his room to get dressed and packs of picnic dinner for himself and Nikki Griffin, egg sandwiches, and other things, even some of the contrary chocolates that he also had snuggly made for himself but he had secretly made into a package with the jewelry not too long ago from his last visit.

Heard the other pieces that tiaras in the necklace that he was going to give to her later during the party for their welcome home party, but the ring that he got made for her, he kept in his box and his pocket.

And the picnic basket, all full of food even though well, and Joel gave him some extra food pieces for an exquisite dinner.

Then he walked to the villa to go pick up Nicole Nikki, his love.

As he teleported down from ion, he waited at the door, a little nervous basket and blanket in one hand.

And then he knocks on the door the girls and the twins answer the door and come in Luther.

Nikki is almost done getting ready he smiles as he sits down good I can't wait to take her. We're going to the we're gonna go to the coast sounds wonderful. And have a picnic on the beach yes how romantic then I'm gonna ask her. I've talked to your father already so I don't need to worry about that.

No, you don't need to worry the girls said now just wait a little while and she'll be ready soon.

inside the villa

and Nikki's room

Nikki

I was finishing up getting ready when I heard my sister's call that Luther was here. I was done. I was dressed and ready to go. I came down the stairs and one of my favorite outfits and there he was so beautiful planned today a picnic on the beach, he said, taking my hand I made most of this food not all of it but a lot of it we're gonna have a great time just the two of us then we'll return home to ion and have some alone time together.

I have a gift for you, but I won't give it to you until we get to the beach. I smiled knowing that Luther had a gift for me a present a surprise.

As he took my hand, we teleported to the beach.

at the coast

Nikki

We arrived right as sunset as the sun was setting we arrived as his spread out the blanket on the lovely beach sand away from the water enough that we wouldn't get splashed by the water in the tides. I'm still on the beach and we began to eat. It was delicious Griffin, egg sandwiches, and other things and chocolate exquisitely expensive beautifully made chocolates and also a special chocolate dessert Conary of those of my sisters.

We ate everything we wanted then we laid back on the picnic blanket for a while had me up close. It was chilly on the beach so he laid his cloak around me. He wore it because it was warm, but I didn't wear anything like that. I had but didn't keep me warm enough, he said, offering his cloak as I laid closer to his warmth, my angel said listen to this, and then I'll ask you something. I smiled at no one he had a question to ask me there as he loved me for a moment at least making out.

The quietness of the waves and the quietness of the beach and the sunset and the stars coming out was wonderful it took me a while to get used to the different star constellations Luther told me about each one and how different they were. I told him about the ones in the human world that were different than these one day you'll learn them again never learn them at all. I said my sister told me about them a long time ago or maybe they didn't but when we got here, they told me all about the different constellations when we arrived, but I had never seen them like this.

Nikki Volder Delrose yes I said as he said my full name I love you. You know that I smiled. I know Luther loves me. I knew the way he looked at me. It took me a while at first he said I knew that, but now he didn't hide his feelings.

I love you more than you know. He said with a smile, knowing that Luther loved me more than he did deep down the side of him, even though he lost a lot of his emotions to Ezra was something he never got to experience so that was never taken from him.

We were full from all the food we ate nothing left over except for empty pictures and empty plate symbols.

Then you stood up and took out of his pocket, a beautiful box and exquisite, beautiful white box with a pink ribbon.

He opened it and then put the box back into his pocket and then he got down on one knee as he stood up and then down to me as I sat there as you to my levels, I sat there on the blanket and took my left hand and his nickel vole Del Rose will you do the honor and be in my bride, my wife, Mrs. Timecrest my face lit up my face blushed. I looked into those violet eyes is clear, amethyst they were beautiful. I could

Get lost in them, but I kept my poser for a moment.

I went to him, and then I smiled. I had to make sure it wasn't Nathan in disguise, pretending to be my love pretending to be beautifully nice to me and it's gonna rip me away and take me away before I answer. Can I make sure it's you Luther and you his cloak was genuine he wouldn't run it around me? If he was Nathan his kisses were tender, beautiful face and it wasn't rubber he said, but I don't think Nathan would do this for you picnic the beautiful scenery of the beach wouldn't he wouldn't try to go out of his way to make a romantic night like this.

And he wouldn't have complimented me on my dress .

He would try to destroy it and make fun of it he wouldn't love my dress, but I touched his face anyway soft warm, normal no wig hair and no evil laughter came from him.

Also, my sister wouldn't have allowed him into the house if he was Nathan at all after a while, checking him out and making sure he was still my Luther, my love.

I smiled in my tears as I reached out my hand yes, the ring went down to my finger as it sparkled in the moonlight and the moonlight in the starlight.

I noticed how the the beautiful heart shape of the ring the beautiful craftsmanship of the silver band and the jewels that embellished it. Someone must've worked hard on this ring and had my kittens on it Luna Artemis and Diana.

Holding a center of jewel pink stone in the center.

I'm glad you like it like it. I love it. I said to him it's so beautiful. Handed the box to me to put in my bone pocket. I don't have any pockets, darling. He laughs and puts it in his pocket for a little longer feeling the warrant of each other on the beach.

Then we cleaned up and left and changed for bed.

later that night

on ion

Nikki

We went back to the room that we shared, which was his bedroom. He laid me in it and loved on me, kissing me, loving me, sweetly, and tenderly as my ring sparkled in the candlelight near us. I love making beautiful and sweet tonight not hard when he was done we cuddled up and went to sleep, we were engaged now only a few more steps closer to our wedding day, but we had to get bound first, and the announcement of our lovely engagement and our home party homecoming for me and my sisters coming around the corner as well.

As we kissed and fell asleep, I continued to wear the beautiful ring, and Luther's warmth ran through me as I fell asleep.

Thinking and dreaming about our future.
