Neville was busy taking a shower in his new home in which he was dreading the worst while being in prison. The Kettle was one of worst prisons here in Valilnor as it also served as a place to house the worst of the worst. It became a place where Neville was carefully guarding himself as he simply wanted to die here instead of being further humiliated. Even though he was found guilty for his crimes, including medical rape, he was still quaking with fear as his efforts to leave the showering area quickly ended up becoming dashed the moment he ended up dropping the bar soap that he had at his disposal. Picking it up, he put it back in the dish near the faucets as he turned off the water and was ready to leave. What he didn't expect was that there were a group of men wanting to rough him up as he didn't want to cause any trouble, for he was cautious in the Kettle, or so he thought.
"Looks like someone dropped the soap," said one of the men as he was staring at Neville.
"Leave me be," he said as he wrapped a towel around his waist.
"What's the matter, Neville? Can't take the hint that you can't have any more rent boys being stuffed into your sex dungeon?" said another man.
"We all know what happened when you committed medical rape on those two men," said the first man. "You just had to get your hands in the cookie jar just to get what you wanted. All you needed was their joy juice to the point of forcing your victims to comply, even if it meant by drugging them and holding them prisoner."
"You're in my way," he said.
"We're in his way, are we?" said the other man. "Well, perhaps we should 'soften him up' just to take a decent 'prison shower!'"
Neville started to run until he slipped and fell onto the tiled floor. He was being dragged by the other prisoners as he was about to get a taste of his own medicine in the worst way in which he had it coming to begin with. The two men and the other prisoners were having their way with him as he was being held down the moment he felt a member being shoved into his anal cavity. The intense shoving made Neville uncomfortable as he had tears streaming down his cheeks the moment he let out a cry of anguish while he was being raped by the prisoners who took their turns shoving their members into his anal cavity. The very trauma of being gang-raped by the other prisoners took a toll on Neville as he was left damaged and broken. He was a crying mess as he was left bleeding in his anal cavity where he was raped by the other prisoners. He wanted to end his life after what he was going through as he saw some of the prison guards shooing away the other prisoners the moment they collected him and took him to the infirmary, for this was too much for him as it is…
I was finally back at the villa after I used up my vacation days the moment I was in the nursery taking care of the quadruplets and the other younger children. Even though I was refreshed, I never forgot the atmosphere of Chithravai as I would want to go there again someday. At that moment, I heard one of the quadruplets crying as I picked her up and noticed that had a wet diaper the moment I took her over to the changing table. I was mainly cleaning up after Sylphina as I noticed her covered with a rash in which I had to clean her up carefully with some wipes. By the time I finished up and later powdered her bottom, I applied some medicated diaper rash cream on her sensitive parts and everything else as I had a gut feeling that one of her mothers had that problem.
With a fresh diaper covering her bottom, I picked her up as I began to rock her gently until I noticed Alonzo coming in with a box of hypoallergenic diapers in which he knew what was wrong with Sylphina. Still, he had to deal with it as he was eager to tell me the truth about the diaper rash problem, for I had to know of this eventually. I also noticed that Sylphina was starting to get hungry after being changed as I exposed my pectorals and allowed her to latch onto me just to get her second breakfast, for she needed what was given to her like her siblings.
"Aloysia was like that when she was a baby," said Alonzo.
"She's inherited a lot from her mother," I said.
"I'm glad that the little ones are here, but they might have inherited the diaper rash that we got as babies. It's no fun, but we inherited it from our own mother and her partner before they lost their lives in the war between the Oranges and the Blues. Still, we have our work cut out for us, but we always fought forward in the end."
I finished up nursing Sylphina as I felt her unlatching the moment I later burped her and placed her back in her bassinet. When I left to take a breather while leaving the nursery, I went towards the sitting room as I saw Castiel sitting there in which he was more than likely to be giving the heads-up on what was going on until I spotted Minara sitting in one of the chairs knitting. It was awkward, but I also didn't want any stress here as I had to know the situation that was at hand, for I also had to hear the worst that was about to happen.
"Before you jump to conclusions, you should hear us out, Sam," said Minara.
"You were supposed to be at the hospital on Stohess," I said.
"There was a change of plan," said Castiel. "Shortly after Lord Minara was admitted to the hospital there on Yock Island, the Brotherhood of Lions plotted an attack in which it was later averted due to a pipe bomb that was found."
"And you brought him here for a reason," I said.
"The Brotherhood of Lions has launched a campaign to gaslight and manipulate the public to their advantage in which they have painted us as the villains who have been holding Lord Minara hostage."
"At least my captors are lenient in my safety," he said. "Also, there's been plenty of balloons and party favors strewn all over the villa in which it's a hell of a lot better than dealing with that messy shit show that features the Brotherhood of Lions. Still, I have to stay away from all the stress in which Castiel made the right decision to get me away from those menacing crackpots."
It wasn't long until I noticed Aora approaching as he was shocked to see Minara sitting in one of the chairs. Even though he was heavy with child, he was forced to be here in which staying in the hospital on Stohess seemed impossible due to the Brotherhood of Lions' constant pursuit of him. Even though that group of crackpots have been exposed as frauds due to their knack for orgies and money laundering, they weren't about to stop until they caught up to Minara directly, for he was carrying an unborn Ancient in his body.
"Uncle Minara?" said Aora as he rushed into the sitting room to greet us.
"I know; I should be in the Yock Island Memorial Hospital on Stohess, but I was brought here for safety reasons," he said.
"Aora," I said. "You and your siblings should get ready because today is Gyatso's birthday."
"Isn't your birthday on the same day, too, Daddy?"
"There you are!"
Gyatso arrived as he collected Aora and went out of the sitting room. When I followed them, they were on their way to the bathing area as they were getting ready for the party in which today was the second of May. I didn't mind them going in there as I also had to worry about the rest of the children the moment I saw Ghimru, Zoran, and Giles rush into the bathing area to get cleaned up, for they were more than likely to be getting ready for the party afterwards. Still, I had so much to do as I went towards the kitchen to see Guido hard at work making a dessert just in time for the birthday. Still, we were prepping for everything in which I decided to know more about what was being made, for I my curiosity got the better of me.
"You shouldn't be prying, Sam," said Guido as he was putting the finishing touches on his dessert.
"That's a nice dessert," I said.
"It's called banana tiramisu. I made it in the form of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, banana pudding with mascarpone cheese, fresh bananas, shredded coconut, and cocoa powder for garnish. As for what you're assuming, this dessert doesn't have alcohol in it because of the kids running all over the place. As for that little girl with all the cake pans, she's eager to bake what you sent to the church before the cleric ended up excommunicated. As soon as this dessert is chilling, the better we have it for the party."
I was glad that Guido thought about something other than ranting about everything in which he was mainly a master of his craft. When I left the kitchen, I went towards the backyard as I was seeing everything getting set up for the party, for this was a special day mainly for me and Gyatso anyway…
Minara was still busy knitting as he began to feel hot with the clothes he was wearing. Taking off his white jacket, he was cooling off for a little bit as he slowly got up and went towards the main hall. When he went into the kitchen, he was looking for something to eat just to tide him over as he opened the fridge to find the banana tiramisu that was in there. He was ready to get into it until he was stopped by Guido the moment he turned around and faced him, for he was already in the doghouse due to the pregnancy that he had.
"I saw that!" he yelled.
"I haven't had anything to eat since coming here," said Minara as he was startled after getting away from the fridge. "Do you know how many times I have to eat Jell-O all the live long?"
"You better not be dissing the Jell-O or I'll kick your ass! I grew up on that shit, so I suggest that you keep your opinions to yourself for once!"
Minara ended up feeling a sharp pain in his stomach as he felt the tinge of what was about to happen to him. Guido never expected him to fall to his knees as he gathered him and escorted him out of the kitchen the moment they ran into Kotori, who was coming back from a house call. She had a gut feeling that Minara would end going into labor as she had to get him into the infirmary wing, for his life was on the line right now. Guido, on the other hand, was shaking as his temper got the better of him in which he followed Minara and Kotori to the infirmary wing the moment he waited outside the operating room, for he was worried to the extreme about this mess.
"What the hell have I done?" he said as he was on his knees.
I rushed towards the infirmary wing as I was fearing the worst the moment I watched in the distance where Kotori was getting the operating room prepared. I also noticed Minara being anesthetized and sedated as he was safe here instead of being in a cave. I was concerned about his safety as I also saw Guido still shaking from what he did when he lashed out earlier, for he felt the guilt that loomed over him.
"I did this…," he said as he was shedding tears. "It's all my fault…"
"What happened?" I asked.
"I caught Minara in the act when he tried to get into the banana tiramisu in which I didn't want him to eat it because it was for the party. After that, he was complaining about eating Jell-O until I threatened to kick his ass for dissing it. That was when he was in pain."
"You shouldn't be letting the sun go down on your anger. Therefore, you should also be wary of him bearing what he has in him in which I also did the same."
"I remembered that shit very well because of the fact that Neville got put in the hot seat and was later found guilty of medical rape. That was also where I raided his homestead on Atreides in which I found a lot of unsavory things in it. In the end of this lingering shit show, I hope to the gods and Matriarch that Minara's okay. I didn't mean to lose my temper that way…"
WAAAAHHHH!
We heard the sound of babies crying as we noticed Kotori hard at work delivering Minara's children into the world. I saw the arrival of twin girls carefully as they were being placed in their incubators once they were removed through an emergency caesarian section. I was grateful that Minara was brought here in the nick of time as I later saw Kotori burst out of the operating room the moment she was concerned about what was going on, for she had to be venting her frustrations out on Guido, who was still reeling from the guilt that put him in the hot seat in the first place.
"You should've never put him under so much stress like that!" she yelled.
"Yeah, try adding more fuel to the fucking fire, why don't you?" said Guido as he was burying his face in his hands. "I hope that Minara's okay… No…, I'm the one at fault here all because I didn't want him to get into the banana tiramisu for Sam's party!"
"Well, you should be! Too much stress nearly took the lives of not only the babies, but Minara as well! You should be thankful that he's alive, but he can't leave the infirmary wing until he's recovered! As for that temper of yours, I don't know if you'll ever be fit to serve the Order of Letters after what happened to Minara!"
"I'm sorry, okay?!"
"Sorry doesn't cut it! Minara nearly died because of your horrid temper! If you would've spent less time ranting and more time being quiet, then you would fit in with the rest of us!"
"He gets the message, Kotori," I said cautiously. "He's already regretting losing his temper in which he's been grappling with it over the years."
"On what grounds?! By berating Minara over gelatin?!"
At that moment, Guido walked out of the infirmary wing as he ran towards the basement to vent. The genuine remorse he was telling ended up falling on deaf ears as he was also partially responsible for nearly killing Minara and his newborn babies. His only comfort was sitting in front of the television as he turned it on in which it was broadcasting some hokey reality show. The program itself was mainly about prison life as it was simply featuring a few prisoners going about their daily lives. At that moment, he saw a familiar face that was still stuck in jail as he was targeted by a few prisoners the moment he was getting a taste of his own medicine. What he saw on screen was Neville naked and held down while one of the prisoners was standing behind him as he felt a bigger member being shoved in his anal cavity.
The sight of the disgraced member of the Vallon-Schacter Clan being raped in a prison shower caused Guido to shake as the image that was shown brought back memories of the trauma that he faced as a child. He saw Neville being gang-raped by the prisoners in the shower as he was left on the floor with his anal cavity bleeding. Even though he never liked the latter for what he did to me and Minara, he was reminded of how his own father raped him as he was shedding tears down his face. The hurt and pain resurfaced as he was still seeing the image of Neville grovelling on screen until he saw the channel being changed to a medical drama. That was when Kotori came to check up on him as she also didn't want him to dwell on what happened too much, for she was also in the wrong for chastising him after he lost his temper earlier.
"You shouldn't be watching too much reality t.v.," she said. "It's nothing but brain rot altogether in the form of entertainment."
"You coming to offer sympathy for me or are you coming in to gloat?" sobbed Guido.
"I know that you shouldn't let the sun go down on your anger, but you can't just lash at everyone like that, especially when you suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder."
"So, you know of this, don't you?"
"No, Sam told me directly in which he was aware of how your father sodomized you at such a young age and one of his friends wanted you to touch his penis in which you ran towards your mother."
"Seeing me molested by my father and Lord Bartolomeo was the last straw. She tolerated that fucker's behavior with not only the beatings, the isolation, and the infidelity, but he had other ways and means to molest me and my brothers and how we were in the nude while he was touching us where we weren't supposed to be touched. Enough was enough when Mom divorced that shit stain of a father and took us away from Baratheon and went to live our years on Lannister. For me, it was a breath of fresh air, but the trauma still remains in which I had so much problems trusting people until I was given an ultimatum by either enroll in a military school or face juvenile detention. I chose the school because of the fact that I had to keep going, but I stayed on task afterwards."
Kotori never knew about Guido's traumatic experiences before until now. She also had sympathy for him as he also kept himself guarded instead of straying away from the straight and narrow. Still, she couldn't let him lose his temper again as she also wanted him not to fall off the deep end, for he needed to come out of his shell in order to prevent further trust issues along the way…
Neville was in the prison infirmary as he was still recovering from what he was going through after that prison shower rape earlier. Even though he was resting in a hospital bed, he was also handcuffed to the railing as he would soon return to his cell. In his hour of need, he wanted to die as he had become ostracized and disgraced by both his family and the rest of the public for what he did to me and Minara. There was nothing left for him to lean on after the raid at his homestead on Atreides as he would soon return to isolation instead of being attacked at random. When he still laid in his bed, he noticed Chuck standing in front of him as He wasn't about to let him fall under further despair, for he would soon have a duty to resume and retain.
"You don't look so good, do you, Neville?" He said.
"I have nothing to say to you; get out..." he said as he was wiping the tears on his face.
"I didn't come here just to offer you comfort, but to give you a further obligation."
"What obligation?! By dropping the soap just to end up getting plugged when I least expect it?!"
"I'm here to bail you out because of the fact that you can't just bail on restoring extinct bloodlines to power and everyone knows that all Ancients that have been conceived will further inherit the Ashizoka System and even put a damper on Rita's return, which I don't want."
Chuck noticed blood on the sheets and blanket as Neville was still reeling from the gang rape that he endured earlier. He didn't want anything to do with the obligation that was put in front of him as he was not up to par with getting up out of bed. Still, he was deadlocked between fulfilling his duty to Chuck and surviving the Kettle as he wanted to fade away, for he was waiting to embrace death just to put an end to his own existence whatsoever.
"So, you're just gonna roll over and play dead, right?" said Chuck as He was still standing in front of the bed. "There's no way that I'm letting you do that, Neville. I can't let you die that quickly 'cause if you even try to end it all, I can resurrect your sorry ass when you least expect it."
"Go away…," he said. "You've done enough damage in which I've been ostracized by my family and reviled by the public all I want is to collect so many Incubators to house some of the genetics that the Fallen have left behind. Because of your meddling, I've been convicted of medical rape and my accomplice was take elsewhere. I don't want any part of it, for this is my punishment for violating the two men who were chosen to bear Ancients against their wishes."
"They may have been forced to bear them against their wishes, but that doesn't mean that they can shirk their duties as Incubators. Well…, one of them had his crafted womb removed by Reuben in which it would've been 'life threatening,' but he'll have another one in him again because of the fact it's his duty to do so. Sooner or later, the genetics of the Fallen will have a part to play, for they will also inherit the places that haven't been inhabited yet."
"If you're wanting me to participate in my old habits, then count me out of it. Find someone else to do your dirty work, but leave me out of this… I've had my fair share of getting gang-raped on a daily basis and it won't stop with just the shower. It can happen anywhere in this prison..."
"Whatever floats your boat, but sooner or later, you'll change your mind when you least expect it."
Chuck vanished without a trace as Neville was left alone. The "duty" to have me and Minara resume our roles as Incubators have left a sour taste in his mouth as he was now reaping the instant karma that was dealt to him. Still, he was torn between duty and survival mode as he was left a crying mess after being gang-raped in the shower earlier, for he was put here in this prison for the rest of his life. He was trapped here for life as he was serving his sentence for committing medical rape to both me and Minara in which it was the brutal reality that put him here in the first place. In the end of this debacle, he was literally put in his own private hell as he was also reaping what he had sown, for this was pure karma coming to bite him in the end…
Minara woke up in a hospital room as he was sitting up in his bed. He felt at his stomach as it was devoid of what he bore in his body in which he later noticed a pair of Elven twins sleeping in their bassinets. Still, he wanted to chew Guido out earlier, but he was too tired to do so after being anesthetized and sedated just in time for a caesarian section. When he saw me enter into the room, I was carrying a tray of food in which I also had some banana tiramisu that was made along with a few pieces of some birthday cake, for I had to do my best to comfort him right now.
"I'm sorry that I missed out on your birthday," he said to me.
"Don't be…," I said as I gave Minara the tray of food. "Kotori chastised Guido for losing his temper, but she also had sympathy for him after he saw something that set off his PTSD earlier."
"What happened, exactly?"
"Before Kotori changed the channel, there was a reality show detailing prison life, but it showed scenes of Neville being gang-raped in a shower."
"That doesn't surprise me… I may not have any sympathy for what he did to us, but he had it coming for putting us through this kind of hell."
"I know… Still, prison life is a troubling sentence worst than death, but even prisoners themselves have to be treated in the utmost care if one is attacked and most prisons aren't meant to be lenient."
I noticed one of the newborns fidgeting as I noticed her crying the moment I handed her over to Minara in which he opened up his robe and exposed his pectorals. He was used to taking care of the little ones as he felt the baby latching onto him in which he was glad that the worst was over. Still, he would return home to New Capua on Claudius, but he also had to be cautious due to the fact that the Brotherhood of Lions were still combing the cosmos looking for him. Even though he and his newborns were safe, that didn't deter his pursuers as he also wanted to give the middle finger to them in which he lived through the caesarian section without humiliation, for he was protected from those who would want to exploit him in the long run.
"It's fleeting that karma got the best of Neville," he said as he felt the Elfling unlatching. "For us, it's basically the typical 'fuck you' to him after what he put us through."
"Neville may have had it coming, but there will also be sympathizers that would see his plight as a boon to find and enslave Incubators just to house the genetics that the Fallen have left behind," I said cautiously. "It's fleeting that he's in prison for the rest of his days, but there will always be those who will demand to have him released."
I took the newborn Elfling out of Minara's hands as I later burped her and placed her back into her bassinet the moment I heard the other one crying. I took the other one out as I handed her to Minara the moment he allowed her to nurse the moment I was checking up on the first one. Even though the baby looked like Minara with his burgundy hair and purple eyes, her features were similar to that of the Cetra archer who fought in the Rainfeather brigade a thousand years ago. As for the other one, she looked like her mother as she had green hair and blue eyes like the one from the history books, for she was the Cetra that was depicted in killing Emperor Caedrios with her bow and arrow at the time.
"Your daughters look more like you, but also like that Cetra in mind," I said.
"Their names are Atsuko and Hanabi," said Minara as he felt the other Elfling unlatching. "They're Ancients, but they'll soon join their siblings once they return back home on Claudian soil."
"Your hands will be full with your children in which you miss them dearly."
"Kunio is the oldest, but he's also making sure that his siblings won't be exposed by the trickery from the Brotherhood of Lions. After what happened when they were truly exposed as the fakers they were, support for the Claudian Emperor has tripled in which the religion who once helped to take down Emperor Caedrios a thousand years ago has fallen off the rails. What's even worse is that they have steeped to new lows by participating in orgies and fleecing their fervent flock. Thankfully, Ryosuke exposed them in which he put his foot down when it came to the Brotherhood of Lions getting what was coming to them."
Without warning, I heard the sounds of footsteps approaching as I rushed towards the door. When I opened it up, I noticed a certain pair of nuisances rushing into the room as it was none other than Azelas and Jeremiah the moment they were there on their mission to greet and take away the newborn twins that Minara bore, for they viewed the birth of Ancients very sacred. Still, Minara didn't want anything bad to happen to his newborns as he refused to hand them over to anyone, especially the Brotherhood of Lions, for he had his reasons to protect them more than anything.
"We're not here to take away your newborns, Lord Minara," said Jeremiah as he knelt.
"Like hell, you are!" he yelled. "This isn't the first time that your ass-clown followers went to such extremes when they had the gall to block me from leaving and even threatening to use a pipe bomb in a hospital!"
"No…," said Azelas as he was shaken by what he heard. "We have strong faith in our brothers in which they could never resort to such extremes like that…"
"That isn't all," I said. "The very group you serve also happen to be engulfed by what they fought against after the fall of Emperor Caedrios a thousand years ago. I've received letters from Ryosuke in which he saw what was happening right under your noses."
I fished out a ledger as I gave it to Azelas in which he read it with a hint of concern. The damning evidence that he saw was something that he couldn't unsee as he saw what was written the moment he saw the incriminating pictures of what his superiors were really doing. The pictures of his brethren participating in orgies and money laundering shocked him as he also noticed the evidence of photo-shopping images that became the precipice of their so-called "omens" in which his eyes were finally opened to what was happening to his group. He was ashamed to join the Brotherhood of Lions as they were once thought to be a righteous group that once ousted Emperor Caedrios a thousand years ago, only to use isolationist tactics on their citizens, for they have now become pariahs on their homeworld and beyond because of their exposure as the frauds they were.
"It's a trick," said Jeremiah as he saw the evidence in the ledger.
"No…, this isn't a trick," said Azelas as he was shocked to see what his brethren had done. "For years, we believed in the omens of keeping our citizens grounded to prevent a catastrophe, but seeing the very thing that we fought against a thousand years ago?"
"Now you know the truth about what your brethren was doing and your faith shaken, what will you do next?" said Minara.
"We'll return to Skald Island and resume our work at Septimus Corri's farm. After seeing the truth about our brethren, it's high time that my assistant and I excommunicate ourselves from something that strays away from its teachings and embraces corruption. Sadly, there's no other way to follow our own path of righteousness after what was exposed."
"There is a path we can follow," said Jeremiah. "From what I heard, the religion known as Reikology has taken off like wildfire in which it was first concocted after the death of Father Warren on Baratheon. Its followers have embraced the teachings in which they worship Lady Reiko to such fervor, even though she refuses to have anyone follow it in her name. They even see her killing the Maladendrum as a sign of a renewed faith in humanity for all in they even told about the story when she shot an arrow into the moon. Azelas and I will navigate Reikology in which it'll be better than our old brethren who had strayed away from their path of righteousness."
Both Azelas and Jeremiah left the room as they went towards the hallway where they went to one of the rooms and stripped off their robes and put on Sindar clothing the moment they went downstairs to where the boiler room was. When they placed their robes in the furnace, they closed it as they were burning away their service to a religion that they once served. With their faith shaken and everything exposed, both aspirants of their former religion were eager to propel their energy into being a part of Reikology, for they also had to do much better than what they were used to, even if it meant by turning on their former masters in the end.
"We're at an impasse," said Azelas as he was dressed in his Sindar clothing.
"And yet our own brethren betray not only their principles, but us as well," said Jeremiah as he was also dressed in Sindar clothing. "The gods continue to test us until they led us to the one true harbinger of light that smote the Maladendrum while shooting an arrow into the moon."
"Lady Reiko will always be the harbinger of light. She also has a gentle soul in which she was taught to be brave and kind. It was something that she had in which she also has her family to protect."
It wasn't long until they heard footsteps scrambling in which they left the boiler room and rushed to see Guido running back to the infirmary wing to voice his own apology to Minara. Still, they had their reason to stay firm and not intrude on Minara's privacy as their days of being in the Brotherhood of Lions was over, for they also had to move on in order to keep themselves afloat…
Neville was back in his cell as he was laying in his bed in which he was moved into a private one that had a bathroom in it, but not without the presence of security cameras in it. After dealing with being gang-raped, he was more than likely to be ending it all as he was growing wearing of being alive the moment he was caught, tried, and thrown in prison. Karma showed no remorse imaginable as Neville saw one of the grating bars near his window. Grabbing his sheet, he took it off as he wrapped it around his neck while putting it over the grating bars in which he was ready to pay for his crimes. Just as he was about to do so, he saw Chuck untie the sheet from the grating as He refused to let him end himself so hastily, for he still had an obligation to fulfill.
"Are you that dumb to end yourself like that?" He said.
"Why can't you leave me alone for once?!" cried Neville as he was desperate to take his own life.
"Because you have an obligation to see more Ancients coming and going so that they can thrive without any strings attached and without those terrorists currying favor to Iago and his group of incompetent rejects!"
"Let me do my time, for this is karmic retribution for forcing Sam and Minara to become Incubators against their wishes. And to top it off, everyone is benefitting from my incarceration in which I won't show my face to the public again!"
"No one is benefitting from your incarceration because of the fact that your work isn't done yet! I pick out what is feasible in which you can't back away from your duty as a cultivator of further Incubators to house some of the genetics that the Fallen have left behind. Remember your obligation, Neville, or it'll all be for nothing!"
"Find someone else… I'm done living, for this is instant karma coming towards me…"
"No…, you just opened up the floodgates when it comes to opening up a breeding program that'll change the galaxy, for this is huge news and a boon on your part. Sometimes, you have to be given a big nudge just to have everyone come out on top for the next generation. It's a win-win—"
It wasn't long until Neville saw a large cane yanking Chuck away like something out of a failed vaudeville act as he was alone once more. Still, he was left with more torture coming as he refused to go out of his cell, for this was pure karma that kept him prisoner for his crimes. What he was doing now was that he was praying for further forgiveness in which he also became more entangled with dealing with a breeding program that was under the noses of the public, for he would soon regret his involvement for what he did in the long run...
Guido burst into the Minara's room as he was glad that he was alive and safe. When he saw the twins in their bassinets down for their nap, he kept his distance as he was aware of what was going on. I was also on hand in helping out as I also had to offer Minara some comfort despite the fact that today was my birthday. I couldn't be selfish or spiteful because of the fact that I wasn't the only one who was born on the second day of May, for Gyatso was also born on it as well along with the two newborns who came into the world.
"I am so, so sorry," said Guido as he was feeling remorseful.
"Don't worry about it," said Minara. "At least I lived to see my newborns thriving despite the fact that Neville had a hand in forcing them onto me."
"I guess that you have a primal hate boner for that guy. Earlier, I saw him on t.v. in which he ended up dropping the doubloons when he was raped in a shower by the other prisoners. Yeah, seeing that traumatized me in which I still feel the pain I endured after what that shit stain of a father did to me."
"Neville may have had it coming, but none of us should wish ill luck on him," I said.
"Well, seeing him getting butt-fucked is instant karma for what he did to you and Minara. Also, seeing him like that reminded me of what my own father did to me in which I got the full brunt of his cruelty."
"I heard you whimpering when you saw what happened to Neville on t.v.," said Minara. "As for what you went through, you had to be assigned to the most heinous cases during your tenure as a police officer before you joined the Order. It's beyond disgusting that you went through that in which you had to have the worst problems during your tenure. In the end of this mess—"
"You owe Neville a huge apology!" yelled Chuck as He appeared out of nowhere.
I had a gut feeling that Chuck would meddle in our affairs once more as He wasn't having it the moment he was aware of what was happened to the man who caused us so much pain. I sensed the aura burning from the disgraced ruler of Heaven as he was causing the lights to flicker in which He was not about to let us get away so readily. In the end of this debacle, I had to stand my ground as I used my raw power to cancel out His powers the moment he noticed the ceiling cracking to reveal several rolls of toilet paper falling down on Him, for He never cared for it whatsoever.
"Damn you, toilet paper!" He yelled.
Chuck was ready to snap His fingers until He decided not to. Even though His threat fell on deaf ears, He left as He later went into the kitchen the moment He decided to emotionally eat once He got into parts of the birthday cake that was made earlier. The taste of the chocolate in it was simply something that He couldn't resist the moment He was about to get into the fridge where the banana tiramisu was at. Just as He was about to get towards the dessert, He was stopped by Gyatso as He wasn't doing much, for He was caught red-handed with icing on His fingers.
"Guido will get very mad at you if he caught you getting into the banana tiramisu," he said.
"A medium? That's just great…," said Chuck as He licked His fingers.
"Earlier, he got mad at Minara for trying to get into the dessert that was originally for our birthday party. And yet, we have two more who are born on our day in which it's also the more the merrier."
"There's no getting around you, is there?"
"You can't eat too much birthday cake anyway. It'll spoil your dinner."
Chuck was outgunned by Gyatso's words as He also didn't want to pig out on the cake the moment He was starting to feel the toll on what He ate. Still, His desperate attempt to have Neville returning to our good graces ended up in failure as He left the kitchen and went towards the basement where He was watching an episode from a medical drama that was playing, for He was getting more depressed than normal despite the centuries-long punishment that was imposed on Him for His bad behavior. Still, He was under the thumb of everyone around Him as He was stuck trying to force us to be Incubators once more, for He had a plan for us against our wishes…
Later on in the evening, Minara was busy resting up after welcoming his newborns into the world. Even though he finished up what I gave to him earlier, he was eager to go back to bed until he later noticed Guido approaching the moment he was bringing in some more of the banana tiramisu that he made earlier, for it was a peace offering that was too good to pass up. Still, he couldn't forget about his own behavior as he also resolved to focus on controlling his temper, for it nearly cost Minara his life and that of what he bore. At that moment, he was angry at himself as he refused to forgive himself for what happened earlier, for this was on him due to letting the sun go down on his anger.
"You're still feeling guilty about today, aren't you?" said Minara.
"After what I did to you, you nearly died because of me," said Guido. "Because of my temper, I nearly cost you your life and what you bore and no, I'm not worthy of forgiveness after that."
"Everyone is worthy of forgiveness, even to themselves. I bear no ill will towards you because of the fact that you have more trauma and baggage that has to be utilized before it all blows south."
"So, are you saying that I have to ignore my inner trauma for once?"
"It's better than just whacked around with the hits of violence and alcoholism all the live long. For the record, past stays past because there's no way you can kick at that wall again. If you're eager to move on, you have to have some clarity towards yourself or else it'll be too late. Even Sam knows about mental health due to the upbringing he had at the fort on Gehenna in which he refused to fall under the cracks. It's what kept him going because of the fact that he has all that support he can muster. As for you, you should take a breath and let yourself in the calm."
Guido was moved by Minara's words as he didn't want the trauma to define him. Still, he had to do his best to control his temper as he also didn't want to fail the Order in which his career was on the line, for this was something that he had to endure for the rest of his days…
