// Nobody's breakdown 
// Story: Life of a Nobody 
// by Xinrick 
//------------------------------//

After a thankful night with my ladies, a nice shower and getting my cloak washed thoroughly, I did a quick check up on my new son. Thankfully we got him a crib but we weren’t sure what stuffed animal to give him, but normally a bear works the best in my opinion. When I quietly opened the door I saw my son gently sleeping with a stuffed animal by his side I smiled gently before gently closing the door. I continued walking down the hall and even though it was getting to be morning I looked down bitterly. “Thank you all for caring so much…” I mutter to myself, feeling the two rings in my pocket, the present Trinity gave me and the Ainz Ooal Gown ring Momonga gave me. “But...I just can’t…” I mutter sadly, tears welling up in my eyes and knowing full well I’m not going to keep my promise to them.

”Please...don’t be sad…” Joy says worriedly, Reunion magically appearing out of nowhere and floating next to me.

“What do you want Joy?” I ask bitterly.

”You being sad goes against everything our fiance’s are trying to do.” Joy states in my head.

“I know that...but no one’s going to help me with this…” I mutter.

”Don’t be stubborn.” Joy says. ”I don’t want to disappear…”

“You're not going to disappear Joy…” I say honestly to my inner emotion. “I just...have to go through shit by myself is all.” I sigh out.

”You have all your friends and family to help. Stop putting yourself down.” Joy tells me, not wanting me to be so sad.

“I know…” I sigh out. “I know…” I mutter.

“Sneaking out?” I jumped as Jenny appeared behind me. How does she do that?!

“Why do you ask?” I ask, taking a deep breath and dismissing Reunion.

“Cause your fiance's are still asleep and you don’t wake up this early.” 

“What are you doing up so early?” I ask curiously. “You saying I get up early is one thing, but you being up early...something wrong?”

She reached into her pocket and…pulled out a small revolver, not pointing it at me, she just had it in her hand. “I clean it early, shoot it around noon then find ammo for it from Braig’s old ship.”

“Alright then.” I nod. “Might as well keep busy I suppose.” I shrug. “But I hope your liking any of my fiances and Dinky…”

“Dinky is alright and in terms of those women… they’re alright, at least Dinky talks to me without making me feel like a stupid kid.”

“Sorry.” I sigh out. “Maybe it’s because they still see you as a child from a troubled past….and they just want you to have a normal life now...even though that’s impossible in every way possible.” I shrug.

She sighed. “Least you’re not as dumb as I thought if you can figure that out. By the by… you should close your windows when you…roleplay…caught a photographer taking pics of you all and I kinda sorta…comatose.”

“I’m going to have some…choice words with that bastard.” I growl, cracking my knuckles.

“If he wakes up this year.” She chuckled. “Dropped him off near the hospital at least, but I don’t think he’s waking up this year.”

“At least you didn’t make him comatose for the rest of his life.” I say while patting her head. “It’s a good first step at least.

“Yeah… but I did find his camera… he’s good at what he does so I didn’t let his work go to waste.” She grinned evilly. 

“Whatever.” I shake my head. “Well anyways, I’m gonna be gone. Tell the girls when they wake up I’m gonna be training.” I say before opening the window and summoning my glider. “Also I hate how you were right about the sex dungeon...there’s no way in hell I’m going there anytime soon.” I grumble

She nodded, walking off as I flew off. I headed towards the spa first to find Ramilua, since I don’t know where he lives, and waited for it to open. Man, I am early if not even Applejack’s stall is open yet. “Hopefully he comes here...god damn it.” I mutter.

Only ten minutes passed before Aloe and Lotus appeared and opened shop, telling me Ramilua will be here in half an hour, of to head to his house a few blocks away. Zoning laws in this town are odd. I headed off looking for the house the two described, finding it rather fast. Red brick with a wood roof and stone fence surrounding the whole place. There was one of those machines to talk with someone inside the house from outside so I pushed it. “Who’s there?” A voice I did not recognize spoke.

I push the button again. “Hello?” I ask. “Uh...this is Ben. I’m here to see Ramilua? And Nelare just to see if she’s doing alright.” I say, not knowing who this new person was. “Who is this?”

“One moment.” The gate opened as I entered. The door also opened as I approached it…creepy, but I walked inside anyway. Upon entering I was met…with a rather elderly looking pony woman, pointing a fucking RPG at me. “Who sent ya!” She demanded.

“Uh...I’m friends with Ramilua and Nelare.” I say worriedly, raising my hands at the very aggressive mare.

“Nana.” I heard the voice of a rather sick Nelare speak. “Nana the tissue…” Nelare froze as she came into the scene. “Nana… this is a friend of mine, the one who got us out of Knowhere.”

“Oh.” The elderly mare said, unloading and putting the RPG away. “Sorry dear, been away from home for a while, old habits.”

“It’s alright ma’am.” I say sheepishly. “I should have said I was a friend sooner. But anyways, I can see you’re...not entirely doing well Nelare.”

“Egh, don’t remind me.” She complained. “So Ben, this is Nana, she was stolen by pirates when she was a filly here on Equestria, and when I say pirates, I mean the space kind. Grew up their whore, killed them all in their sleep one day, crashed their ship into Knowhere and was living there ever since. We rented the old Salon from her.”

“Oh...no wonder why she immediately...kind of acted like that.” I say sheepishly. “I’m so sorry ma’am…”

“Eh, I got over it decades ago. With how old I am not even sure if any of my family is alive. I know mama was pregnant when I got taken, but that mare would be only five years younger than I am.” Nana said.

“Well right now you are back on Equestria, where the sun’s shining, flowers are blooming, and a national hero is trying not to have a mental breakdown about too many things.” I say jokingly.

“I got something for that.” Nana said, walking to the kitchen and coming back with…a brownie. “Yes it’s got pot.” She added.

“I don’t think I should have pot when I’m about to ask Ramilua if I can start training today…” I say nervously, hiding the fact I’ve never had pot and am scared of declining.

“Trust me, next to Frizt this will calm your nerves.”

“Nana, Frizt will get him high and drunk for at least a week.” Nelare said. “Can’t believe that’s a legal medicine too…”

“Only in fifty planets.” Ramilua said, walking out from behind Nelare. “Seems I missed a bit while I was finishing up my bedsheets.”

“Which is weird cause if memory serves weed is literally the most harmless out of the ‘illegal drugs’.” I frown, before sighing out. “I’m sorry but no, I’d rather not start my morning with a pot brownie.” I say. “So Ramilua, morning. Um...should I wait till after you're done working for us to start training or...do I have to somehow start helping you out at the spa?” I ask, not really surprised if I might actually have to pick up how to be a good at that.

“No, but there is something you can do here that is training. Close your eyes and hold out your hands.” He said before walking off.

I was skeptical. ”If this involves cleaning this house I’m gonna be kinda pissed…” I mentally frown before closing my eyes and holding out my hands.

When I heard footsteps come near me, I tensed up a bit. When something was dropped into my hands, It made me fall to the ground with it’s weight. I opened my eyes, seeing almost cartoony large barbells in my hands…I’m stuck… “These are the same barbells my master made me train with, lift them ten times every hour.” He said before walking out the door.

“Jesus how much do these damned things weigh!?” I yelp, trying my best to heft these things up. I get on my feet and try to lift with my legs but even then it’s hard as hell.

“Those are magic, they amplify gravity on themselves, so even though they're still somewhat small, they will always weigh five times the planets normal gravitational pull on them.” Nelare said. “Hard to come by actually.”

“Well lucky me.” I grumble. ”I’m sensing a Dragon Ball Z trend starting up…” I think to myself as I struggle to heft it up, and hey with the help of my legs and my possibly stupid amount of base strength I lift it up a grand total of...two inches. “And I’m supposed to lift these things up to my shoulders while standing correct?”

”Well...this is gonna suck…” Joy says in my head.

”Trying to concentrate Joy.” I mentally grumble, slowly but surely gaining progress and lifting the things.

“As high as you can reach over your head.” Nelare corrected.

“Sure...fine enough with me.” I say, still struggling to lift it. “And if I can’t lift it up ten times in an hour?”

“Rama used to tell me it was stacked onto the next hour, so… good luck.” Nelare said, sneezing before walking back to her room

“Fuck…” I grumble, wondering if I could just cheat my way through this to make this less of a goddamn nightmare with my new gravity powers...but I shook my head and unless I literally needed to I won’t use it. “Well...let’s get started…” I grumble, before starting my very painful road down trying to lift these damn things.

And let’s just say that this entire training session was a massive fucking nightmare. I lost track of the time as I kept trying to lift this damned thing. And just like Nelare said, the thing stacked...and so far I was just glad I kept the thing up let alone trying to lift it above my head. “This….fucking...sucks…” I groan, my arms stinging from the amount of force they were under, but the thoughts of me just losing to something simple enough made me just hate myself over it. ”No, I’m going to finish this damned thing even if it tears off my arms.” I mentally growl, not wanting to give up again as I finally lifted it up to my head.

I took a short break when Nana brought out some ice tea, then went back to this. I could barely feel my arms as I tried lifting them up one more time. “Come on…” I growl, trying my damndest to lift this thing which I thankfully got it up higher and higher. “Almost…” I mutter, lifting it higher and higher until, for once today, it was above my head. “Finally…”

“Well done.” Ramilua said as he came back inside the house. “You been at this since I left?”

“I took one break, and that was to have tea with Nana.” I explain. “But besides that short little break I’ve been doing this for hours on end.” I explain, lowering it down and trying to lift it up again.

Ramilua chuckled. “You know, there is a trick to these kind of exercises.”

“I don’t know if I can bend gravity now that I mastered a specific weapon, but no I’m not going to cheat my way with that.” I say honestly. “But what’s the trick?”

“Not that.” He took one of the weights, holding it like nothing. “These are meant to train not just your strength, but your control of your magic as well. Can you guess how?”

“Does it involve adding your magic to your arms to lift it up that way or no?” I ask, thinking that it’s like you have to lift it up with your physical arms and magical ‘arms’ in this situation.

“Yes, your body when it uses magic to run rather than how it biologically runs off energy from things you ingest, is twice as effective due to magic being a form of raw energy. When flowed into specific parts, like the arm or leg muscles, they still gain the workout, but it feels like less effort despite still working your muscles properly. Took me a month to learn that.”

“Well goody for you, I feel like my arms are about to dislocate.” I say while managing to lift it up again. “But thanks for the ‘trick’...even though it’s not really a trick to be honest.”

“It’s how beings that are like us have managed in the universe. Humans have two things going for us, an adaptive intelligence, if you’re not a religious bigot, and magic, and even then it’s not something every humanoid being has. But what we do with it is how humanoids have survived in the universe at all, aside from Keyblades like what you have. We create, craft, and always find tricks to survive.”

“Yep.” I nod, taking a deep breath and focusing...and just like that it felt a fuck lot easier. “Sheesh...you’d think I’d have figured this crap out already.” I sigh out. “Mastered three weapons that needed magic put into them, and even if it’s different the same principle still applies…” I shake my head, starting to now do this easier, even if my arms were numb and shaking like hell.

“This will teach you how to better manage your magic and strengthen your control, after at least a week of this, you can apply it to your scythe and other large weapons you may have, letting you better aim and swing them by using your magic to balance out their weight.”

“Makes sense.” I nod. “By the by...have you ever seen cherry blossom or rose petals around whenever you use your magic or is that just special to my weapon?” I ask curiously, knowing Graceful Dahlia had magic to it.

“Let me see it.”

“Uh...sure.” I nod, dropping the weight which caused a loud ‘thud’, before I summoned my Scythe. “I don’t know much about this weapon…” I say, focusing and tapping it on the ground. A moment or two later the two of us saw petals gently float around me. “Are these cherry blossoms or rose petals?” I ask curiously.

“Cherry Blossoms.” Ramilua said, grabbing one. “They are often a symbol of death on many worlds, in some cultures even insanity, madness, but death is the most common. Mind it I hold it?”

“Um...sure.” I say, moving it so the handle was pointing towards him. “For some odd reason it looks like rose petals…”

He took it, holding it and swinging it a bit before purposely cutting his finger on it, the blood on the blade looked like it was absorbed by it. “Yes, this Scythe was made from a demon cherry tree. Rare.”

“Did you say this was made from a demon cherry blossom tree?” I ask, finding that shocking.

“Yes, they only grow on worlds or in places where the blood of countless innocents, mainly children flow, drinking it and it’s wood and bark, if you can call it that, become harder than Vibranium.”

“My weapons just keep getting weirder and weirder.” I frown. “First Braig tells me my gun arrows are the gun arrows that practically no one could get, then Dorlu says that he only knows about one magical card set, and now I’m told my scythe is made from a demon tree.” I frown. “Jeez, and here I thought these were simple weapons.”

“These are no simple weapons. You know, my master had a scythe like this, only a person with a heart of pure light or darkness can force the demon cherry trees to turn themselves into weapons. They say those killed with weapons from these trees get their souls devoured by it.”

“Huh...no wonder why it has a ‘doom’ effect to it…” I mutter. “That’s nifty to know about...I’ll try not to murder anyone with this that’s for sure.”

“It’s only a legend. This weapon was born in the bloodshed of innocents killed, forged to kill. I just wonder, whoever made it, was the blood of evil, or more innocent on their mind?” Ramilua pondered as he handed it back to me.

“You probably wouldn’t believe me where this weapon ‘originally’ came from.” I frown, taking my weapon and it vanishing.

“Honestly I don’t care to know. Just make sure if blood is spilled with it, make it blood that should be wiped from creation.”

“I’ll make damn sure about that.” I nod. “So, besides me lifting this magical weight, what about any other training?”

“It’s nine in the afternoon Ben, we’ll save the rest for tomorrow. Til’ then, take an ice bath, helps when you stop flowing magic through your muscles and they start feeling like overcooked noodles again.”

“That’ll help.” I nod, my arms numb at my sides. “Well I’ll be off. Thanks Ramilua...but when should I drop by tomorrow?”

“Before I head off to work. That would be best.”

“Right then.” I nod while summoning my glider and getting on it. “See ya tomorrow.” I say before flying home to get some rest. When I walked inside I noticed something odd. It was quiet. It’s a big castle, yes, but still it’s not this quiet. “Hello?” I call out. “Anybody home?” I ask worriedly, hoping my family is safe. I found Jenny’s room and upon opening the door I saw her with headphones on playing what looked like Minecraft on her Pc…when did she get that? I knocked on the door with my foot, hoping she could hear it.

Jenny jumped a bit, taking off her headphones and turning around. “Oh, you're back.” She said. 

“I am back yes.” I nod. “So, where is everyone? I know the place is big but it’s eerily quiet.”

Her eyes shifted. “Uh…heheh…here’s the thing, when they woke up and you were gone again they got into an argument that you don’t trust them, it’s dumb male pride, typical BS… so they made a decision about how to deal with it…”

I felt my arms again...before I punched a wall and caused a crack in it. “Why the fuck would they think that?” I ask angrily and bitterly.

“You made a promise, you leaving this morning before anyone of them woke up made them realize that even you won’t keep a promise to them if it means they could get hurt. So, they had Braig baby and Dinky spend the week with now aunt Celestia, I got to stay here cause I wanted to, and they managed to head off someplace…off world.”

My eyes shrink to pin pricks. “Oh no...oh nonono…” I mutter, starting to panic. “This isn’t good...do you know where they went?” I ask worriedly. “Is Luxu with them? Terra? Aqua?”

“Luxu told them of a place they could train but that’s all I know.”

“Christ.” I growl. “Well yay for me, I need to find out where they are.” I frown. “Can’t train for one day without those girls scaring the shit out of me.” I say, a nagging feeling in my mind that...they don’t care about me because of this stunt. “I wonder if Trinity knows where they are...practically nothing can get past her.” I roll my eyes. “But uh...where did you get the PC from? Luna or Derpy give it to you?”

She lifted her arm, showing me she had an Assistant on. “Grandpa Cript gave everyone one while you were gone, with about 9.8 Trillion in spending money each. Luna about fell over and Rarity kept stuttering.”

“Yeah that’s dad for ya.” I chuckle. “Well let’s just hope I can find them with this thing…” I mutter, bringing up my Assistant and trying to search for my fiance's location.

Sadly my lack of experience in using this thing was against me so I flew back to Twilight’s old Library where I know Trinity, Luxu, and Time were, Rarity said Sweetie switches between her parents home and her sister’s home to stay close to the whole family. I almost broke the door down, when I was inside I saw Luxu reading a book… laying upside down against a wall. “Figured you’d show up.” He said, not even looking my way.

“Where.Are.They.” I growl.

“Not telling.”

“I spend one day training and they decide to bolt thinking I don’t give a shit about them and you do the ‘not telling’ crap!?” I bark in anger.

“Yeah, they made me promise, and unlike you, I don’t break my promises even if it get’s those I love hurt. They trusted you to stay with them and help them train. You were gone when they wake up like a horn dog in a one night stand when they wake up after making a promise to help them train too. Help them gain their Keyblades. How do you think they felt?”

“I DIDN’T BREAK ANY FUCKING PROMISE!” I shout in rage.

“You should at least have left a note, I have lived longer than I wish I could have and I can only tell you this about women, in their minds, when you made the promise, the signal that you were going to keep it was to be there when they woke up, you weren’t, so to them, that means that you are breaking it.”

“That’s bullshit in at least three ways.” I frown. “One, they never gave a specific time, and considering over twenty people are telling me to get stronger I was going to spend my time training, then help them all train like I promised. But apparently fucking not.” I frown. “Two, they should have kind of expected me to be training all things considered with my schedule and all, especially Twilight-”

“They did, but they put their hopes on you at least being able to spend mornings with them, not run off at sunrise and coming back at, what is it, ten almost in the afternoon? What time can you give them when most of them would already be asleep by then save for whoever is watching that baby of yours?”

I look down, my mind now rushing to ‘you failed them’, and so many other terrible things. “Please...where are they?” I ask, tears threatening to fall.

“I promised not to tell… but if you can find it out, like… if you read my journal that is upstairs in the bedside table, that’s you finding it out.”

I looked at him, my hopes of finding them rising but my suspicion beating it down. “And the catch?” I ask. “Cause that sounds too easy.”

“I have no idea what you mean.” Luxu says in a fake ‘normal talk’ voice. “I’m just making conversation. It’s not like any dumbass can figure out this is a favor or anything.” That last part had a sarcastic tone to it.

“Fine.” I mutter. “But hey uh...do you have any idea about what this symbol means?” I ask, summoning Reunion. “I can read it but...can you?” I ask, walking over and pointing to the strange marking that said ‘Keys’ to me.

He looked at it, then looked back at his book. “That’s the mark of the King of Nothingness. Some old god that was made when Light and Darkness started clashing. Those with that mark are his knights or some BS like that, gain thirteen of them and you get the rights to challenge him for the crown. Or so the story goes.”

“Oh…” I say before disbanding Reunion. “Well...that’s a thing.” I nod.

“I met him once….he’s alright, but his personality is…unusual.”

“Well when you're apparently the ‘King of Nothingness’ I’d expect it to be unusual.”

“When a king talks to you like a…crap what’s a term that’s not offensive? Best I can say is a stereotype gay, that’s how he is….down to the fucking starbucks…”

I stared at him for a moment. “Um...okay then.” I nod slowly. “Well, thanks Luxu. That makes this weird thing a lot more...understandable I suppose.” I shrug.

“Whatever.” He said as I went upstairs. Finding his journal and skipping to the latest entry.



 ___/___/___

Ben’s fiance’s asked me about some world they could go  to hide and train for a while. Some crap about wanting to prove they can take care of themselves without Ben so they can protect him better than he could protect them. Ugh, makes no sense to me but that’s Ben’s freakout when he finds out.

They wanted a challenge where they could learn to kill if needed and train in proper combat. Several worlds came to mind but only one could teach them the skills they asked for specifically and I’m wondering why the fuck Ben didn’t do this already? 

Meh, after helping them summon their Keyblades, which I was surprised Twilight got a Gazing Eye too, somehow that suits her, and gave them the world’s name and coordinates. 

678-785674-3453768-456734636-879869847-8568567

Long ass trip from Equestria to Tamriel, but fuck it, they’ll fit in alright there.



“Shit.” I frown before closing the journal. “And wondering why I haven’t went to a world to get the proper skills? I’ve been getting that enough as is.” I grumble to myself before putting the journal away and summoning Reunion. “Well...let’s hope I can find them.” I say before summoning a DTL and walking through it all the way to Tamriel.





God knows how long later I finally stepped out into Tamriel proper. “Now...which Elder scrolls area am I in again?” I ask myself, looking around and trying to get a good survey of the area.

I don’t think I’m in Skyrim, it’s sand for…everywhere…am I in the Khajiit homeland? “Well...didn’t expect to be in a desert.” I frown, keeping my hood up and my tail hidden. “I just hope they don’t hate me too much…”

”They don’t hate you.” Joy says to me in my head. ”They just...want to keep us safe…”

“I know Joy...but…” I mutter, putting my hands in my pockets and walking, thinking the girls would just either run or attack me if I was on my glider.

With fur the hot sun was…extra hot. How do those damn cats live here? I was panting at this point when something startled me. “You look like a new traveler to these lands.” I jumped as a distinct Khajiit voice spoke from behind me. When I turned to look it was a female, dressed in what I recognized from the games as Hammerfell clothing.

“You could say that.” I nod. “Um...have you seen people who looked…’different’ around here?” I ask.

“I am looking at one.” She deadpanned.

“I’m looking for eight women. My fiance’s actually...and I’m worried sick about them.” I say worriedly. “Please...if there’s anything you can tell me…”

“If they are new here like you then they may be in the border cities. Closest one near us though is Orcrest, which is near all three main cities next to our borders.”

“Thank you.” I nod. “And...which direction would that city be?”

“You can follow Khajiit to it, you’d likely end up lost considering you’re already going in the opposite direction of Orcrest.” She pulled out a small leather flask. “Drink, Khajiit could hear your pants of overheating from ten feet away.”

“Thank you.” I nod while taking the leather flask, uncapping it and taking a small drink from it. I put the cap back on and handed it back to the Khajiit woman. “Well...let’s get going I suppose.”

She nodded, turning around and leading the way. It took two hours but we finally made it to the city, it was nothing special, tall stone and wood walls, shaks from wood and clay, and with it being late there were mages casting spells to place glowing orbs of light on set poles. Huh, magic street lights. “So Khajiit wonders, why did your mates leave?” She asked as we were walking the streets.

“I’d...rather not say.” I say bitterly. “It’s all my fault...I just hope...they still care about me at all…”

“Khajiit can not say much, but personally, if they are worriers like Khajiit, then did you do something to insult their honor as such?”

“For some odd reason when I wasn’t there when they woke up they took things completely out of proportions.” I sigh out. “At least...to me.” I mutter.

“Oh, Khajiit might know what this is about. You see, most females,like Khajiit, talk not just verbally, but physically as well. We interpret actions, large and small, as they seems to mean. If you left without explanation or even a note behind to set their minds at ease, then they became furious.”

“Yes yes I already know that.” I say with a raised hand. “But the problem with that is, they already know what I do, because there’s one of them that really likes to plan out their day and the rest would understand that I also have stuff to do...but they took the ‘I have to do things’ to the extreme of ‘I suddenly don’t care about them’.” I frown.

“Ah, no then this is not the case. I’m guessing you in your lands are well known and is a busy person, yes?”

“Basically.” I shrug.

“Then this is them saying, ‘you need the free time, we can do things on our own so you can be without distraction’. If you have no time to spend with them, or don’t make it, then why should they be there to pester you when they seem to know your importance?”

“I always try to have time for them…” I say sadly. “I always try to be good to all of them...I try and try...but…”

“But!” She whacked the side of my head. “You are one man, one person. You know, and they know you can only do so much, so they made a decision for you. Even if it hurts you, they made the choice to give you space and time for your business. Khajiit  bets if you do find them that they will likely say you should go back and finish what you need to do.”

“No...they won’t…” I sigh out. “I just know it…” I mutter, tears coming back and trying to fall as I had another thought of them looking at me in such a disappointed or hateful way. “I...I don’t want to fail them…”

“Ah, you are a broken man who has placed your stability on them. Your family likely knows this as well, this is likely another reason they left to give you time and space. If you can trust them to be away and take care of themselves, then they will know that you truly care and trust them. Even though your emotions and mind are telling you otherwise, spend too much time with them and you become obsessive, and without you even realizing it, you are indirectly hurting them. And before you shout saying that’s not true, if you're about to yell, as Khajiit knows you were about to, this only proves Khajiit’s point.”

“You're not helping…” I say bitterly. “I don’t want to fail them..yet you're telling me I basically am.”

“No, you miss my point now. Khajiit  says, failing them is one thing, you have them on a pedestal, and to you, failing them and losing them are the same thing. Life, relationships, you will always fail, this is fact no one, not even the gods can escape. You are only ‘failing’ them because you keep trying so hard not too. It makes little sense, this is true, but it is fact. You try to stretch yourself too far and now you stand in foreign lands looking for them as a consequence of your own stubbornness and clouded mind. No one likes to do something that disappoints the ones we care about, and you keep trying not to, but that is what is disappointing them.”

I just stopped and stood there. “Well…” I mutter. “Glad to know...their disappointed in me…” I mutter, biting my lower lip and trying not to cry or whimper.

“The trick now is, making it up to them, so stop wallowing in your own sadness and let’s come up with ideas.”

“No…” I mutter. “They came here wanting me to stop worrying about them...they want to be strong and that’s fine, and I was going to help...but they just decided to up and leave, thinking I’m just some jackass that doesn’t care about them.” I sigh out. “I doubt they’ll take any of my crap...all I wanted to do was make sure they were safe…” I mutter.

”Ben…” Joy says to me in my head worriedly,not wanting me to be this sad.

“Ben…” I jumped, turning to see Luna behind me.

“Oh...hi.” I say with a small wave. “I’ll...just be going if you want.”

“Ben, leaving to train on our own was an idea we had for a while…ever since you brought me to Radiant Garden actually. We weren’t planning on acting on it until after we all had Keyblades and basic training. I’m a master now so…when you left without a word this morning I knew you went out to train…we all did, but even then…Ben, we love you, why you doubt that sometimes hurts at times, but we don’t blame you. We left cause with all you need to do…it’s too much. You are one person trying to divide your time when you don’t have enough to begin with. So we acted on the plan, take some load off of you. Fact is Ben, while it only hurts cause you make us feel like we can’t do anything to help you.”

Your only driving them away… A voice says in my head says.

“I…” I mutter, putting a hand up to my head.

”No…” Joy starts.

They’ll abandon you just like your parents did...

”No no no…”

“I’ll...just…” I mutter, holding my head and feeling a horrible pain in my head.

I was suddenly brought into a hug by Luna. “Ben, I know you don’t mean to make us feel like that, and we hate ourselves for making you feel like we don’t care…but we need this, and you need this…besides, now that we’re found out, you can visit during the week. That’s how long we’re going to be here.”

She’s lying…

”Luna’s not lying!”

“I’ll just...be going…” I mutter, pushing Luna away weakly before turning around and walking away, still holding my head as I just walked.

“Ben!” Luna shouted, tackling me to the ground. “You are not leaving like this!”

“Why?” I ask simply, my voice hollow from the sadness I was feeling. “You want to train by yourselves...I’m only letting you do so.” I say, Luna knowing full well tears were falling even behind the darkness my hood caused.

“Not with you like this Ben, not with your sadness talking for you.” Luna growled, placing her hand over my forehead. “I think you, Joy, and I have to take care of something.” Everything went white.





When Luna appeared she could tell it wasn’t the normal ‘playground’ we last met at...it was an open field with Shadow like creatures circling around Joy.

“So these are the issue?” Luna said, me suddenly appearing next to her, still feeling my sadness but my thoughts felt clear as compared to earlier.

“They were circling around him a moment ago.” Joy growls, summoning Reunion and getting into the same ready stance as I normally did.

“What do you want?” I ask Luna. “Can’t you see I’m starting to have a breakdown here?” I ask bitterly, a shadow monster leaping at Joy who cleaved it in half with ease.

“You can cheer him up now ya know?” Joy glares at Luna. “This is both your fault here.” He frowns, ducking another shadow creature swiping at him.

“Ben.” Luna starts. “Do you know what these shadows are?”

“Depression, negative thoughts, abandonment issues, and oh hey a mild case of PTSD over there.” I say like I’m checking them off like a goddamn check list. “You know, the normal things a guy has through a very shitty life.”

“You aren’t wrong. These are your inner demons, trying to reclaim Joy.”

“I’d rather not become Rejection again thank you very much!” Joy barks, a card being summoned and blocking another ‘demons’ attack before it split up and shredded the thing in a flurry of cards. “Your other emotions are busy making sure the other parts of your emotions and psyche don’t fall apart here jackass.”

“It’s not my fault I feel like shit and was currently proven that I am being a piece of shit.” I frown.

“And this is why it’s partly all our wives fault.” Joy frowns.

“It’s not their fault…” I say bitterly. “It’s mine.”

“That’s true, but it’s still their fault.” The young wolf says, summoning Sharpshooters and shooting a bunch of monsters and killing them, but either they're really good at regenerating or they keep respawning. “You knew you were having problems but kept them away from them, thinking that you’ve said ‘enough’ to them, and then it just so happens that they all decided ‘let’s just head off without telling Ben because we want to get stronger’ on the exact same day.” Joy frowns, summoning Frozen Pride and blocking another attack. “I may be your ‘Joy’ but I’m also the part of you that also want’s to speak out for help. Sometimes you need help to feel joy.”

“Younger in body, older in mind he is.” Luna commented. “He’s not wrong…Ben, even though you’ve started telling us things, you still hold so much back, why are you afraid to cry or show your fear to us? We know you’re afraid of losing us, but we are also afraid of losing you damn it! You hold back the majority of your emotions and think the weight of the world's problems are on your shoulders alone when there’s a FUCKING ARMY OF LOVED ONE’S READY TO HELP CARRY YOUR SHIT!” Luna yelled that last part in her canterlot voice. “Why won’t you just accept the help? ...our help...”

“Because…” I start, the Shadow beasts stopping to stare at me and Luna for a moment. “I’m scared...I’m scared that if I share any of my burden with you...I’ll only end up hurting you. If I try to show any other emotion than just moments of sadness or Joy...I’ll lose everything…” I whimper. “I...I don’t want...I don’t want to lose everything again…” I finish, falling to my knees and just openly sobbing over how stupid everything was.

Luna knelt down, lifting my chin so I looked at her, she was giving a warm smile. “Ben…Life caters to no favorites, even if it looks like that, that’s just luck or planning. But even you have to admit, meeting us, coming to Equestria. Perhaps luck is doing you favors to rebuild yourself. You have a large family, friends, lovers…and soon, a mini army of pony, griffon, and dragon wolf hybrids running around. We’re not afraid to carry your burdens cause we know you will be there, and we can take comfort in that…even to the grave. I know the thought of losing those you care about tears you apart, you’ll do anything to prevent it, and that’s something we love about you, but you have others to keep each other in check too. That’s how a herd works, we keep each other in check. You need to know this at least, you aren’t alone anymore, and even if all of use aren’t with you at the moment, we are still there for you, and you have others to rely on. You’ll never be alone again. So long as you remember us.”

“I don’t…” I mutter. “I don’t want to be alone anymore…” I mutter.

“Can I point out how adorable and hilarious seeing that ‘mini army’ of kids is?” Joy asks, getting a giant smile and trying his best not to burst into laughter at the heart warming moment.

“That is a funny thought.” I chuckle. “Can you just imagine be being tackled by ‘that’ much fur, feathers and scales?”

“We better stockpile diapers like hoarders.” Luna added. “Wonder, will we have one or two at a time, or litters~”

“Oh my god woman.” I groan, the shadow creatures starting to back away. “I still haven’t married you yet, and you're already wondering how many kids are going to be in there?”

“It’s a reasonable question, I’d call Den about it, but I don’t have her number for her Assistant.”

“That’s true…” I nod. “I’d...better call mom to…” I say, still trying to calm myself down from all my sad and bitter thoughts. “I know I keep things away...but next time…please don’t just up and vanish without a word?” I ask worriedly.

“Yeah that’s one of the reasons. You vanished without a word and we immediately thought you were kidnapped by Core.” Joy huffs. “Or someone just as equally deranged.”

“Fine.” Luna said, kissing me on the cheek. “New rule, no up and leaving without at least telling someone. And you can’t get out of bed til at least three of us are up, no acceptions.”

“You already know I’m training with Ramilua right? So all of you would know where I’m at...also no I am learning how to use a scythe, not how to work at the Ponyville Spa just so’s ya know.” I point out.

“Pitty, Pinkie’s porn stash had a scene with a sexy barber~”

I facepalm at hearing that. “Too much information!” Joy barks, the young pup’s face a new shade of red at this point.

“Joy, you are part of Ben, that means EVERYTHING he does to us, you know and feel, so don’t even try to play innocent ears here.” Luna says.

“Hey at least she’s not connecting all our dreams together.” I say honestly, before I see Joy literally have a nose bleed.

“Damn it…” The pup mutters. “Great...now you gave Luna an idea now that I’m here as well.”

“Heh, naw, Dream sex can make the sheets worse than they are when Ben and us do it while awake.” Luna jokes.

“Okay then.” I nod.

“Well...at least I won’t be dragged into sex almost every day.” Joy says, magicking up a tissue and stopping his nose bleed. “And because I’m your emotion I’ll never have my own body technically.”

“Heh. Well Ben, what should happen next?” Luna asks.

“Well I have seven other girls to apologize to…” I sigh out. “I just hope they’re as…understanding as you.” I say sadly, knowing that at least two of them might smack me and be bitter about it.

“They will be. Pinkie might screw you on the spot though, apparently the desert heat put her in… heat.”

“Okay so apparently I’m going to have to stay here for a while.” I chuckle. “Also...what do you think the others would think about Joy?” I ask curiously.

“If they don’t think I’m adorable they have problems.” Joy huffs, which only made him more adorable.

Luna chuckled. “They’ll think he’s adorable, even Gilda. So Ben…the girls and I still want to train on other worlds, but I feel some new conditions can be made about it.” Luna says, a smile still on her face.

“I promised to help you all...but apparently all of you thought I lied.” I frown.

“You didn’t lie Ben. We just realized you have too much as is…we’re sorry for making you feel like that, but we figured you needed the burdens taken off, and so, as a Keyblade master, and a well made fighter after being in many Equestrian wars, I’ll take over training the others, anything advanced when you have the time you can teach us. But let’s get to the others before I bring up the idea.”

“Alright…” I nod. “I love you.” I smile gently up to Luna.

“Love you too my white knight.” Everything went white.





After waking up Luna helped me up. “Well let’s hope that never happens again… ever.” Luna says, dusting off my cloak.

“The part about being in my head or the part where I start having a breakdown in broad daylight?” I ask.

“The last part, I don’t mind entering your head again… if only to try and find your lust and see what kinks you keep secret.” She gave a cheeky smile.

“I’m pretty sure most of the crap you ladies have I don’t have.” I frown.

”There’s at least one they probably would enjoy. Joy mentally adds.

”Shut up Joy.” I mentally tell him. “Anyways, where is everyone else?”

“The Inn nearby. Even though the decorations are different bits are as good as this world’s Septims because they’re both gold coins.”

“Khajiit has no idea what just happened.” Luna and I turned, seeing the Khajiit  woman still there. “But that was some advanced magic.”

“Sorry miss. But uh...yeah magic let’s go with that.” I say simply. “But me and my fiance had a...little personal talk.”

“Khajiit understands, and wishes you well.” She replied.

“Thank you for trying to help my fiance miss.” Luna says. “You did a lot, and you’re a stranger.”

“By the by...I’m sorry if this sounds offensive or anything but is your name Khajiit or do you just say that because of some reason I don’t know about?” I ask curiously.

“Khajiit can see the confusion, it is part of our culture as when translated to this language, we refer to our kind in the third person, my name is Tsavssi.”

“It’s nice to meet you Tsavssi.” I nod. “And...thank you for helping. But I have seven other fiance’s to meet.” I say while getting up with Luna.

“I understand. I do ask a favor of you however.”

“And this magical favor is?” I ask.

She looked around real quick before whispering in my ear. “Get me the heck out of this place.”

“That can be easily arranged.” I whisper back with a nod. “Why is that if I may ask?”

She pulled back the sleeves on her clothes, revealing broken chains and shackles. “I’m the ‘wife’ of a bandit leader that’s terrorizing the desserts. I escaped then ran into you not long after. I said nothing in case you were untrustworthy or my ‘husband’ was on to me.”

“Have you ever thought of going to another world?” I ask with a little grin.

“...What?”

“We’ll explain in a bit.” Luna says as we take Tsavssi with us to the Inn. My talk with the girls and the exchange of apologies lasted about two hours, lots of crying, and Pinkie dragged me into the closet for sex. After that was done Luna had us all sit in a circle of sorts. “So, first off, we all now have Keyblades, so that’s a good thing, we can also now open DTL’s, Ben, what do you think this means?”

“No matter where I go you’ll somehow find me?” I ask sheepishly. 

“That’s the second part, the main thing is that we can travel between worlds now, meaning we can come home after training off world before Ben does. Twilight, care to think of a schedule?”

Twilight smiled and nodded. “Well, if Ben is waking up at Sunrise, we can all try to wake up before, Celestia rises the sun at 5:45 on the dot, if we wake up at four am, we can all spend a rather early, yet enjoyable family breakfast then Ben can leave to train at sunrise and any free time between waking up and, eating and then Ben leaving at the end for training can be spend bonding as a family…however we decide to spend it~. That aside, while Ben is away training, at least half of us can leave to another world to train, Luna being the teacher in this case will always have to go  given she also has the most experience in combat aside from Ben. As long as we can come home at eight, eight thirty in the afternoon before Ben comes home is he’s coming home at nine and we go to bed at ten we can get six hours sleep, and if Ben decides yes also we can take weekends off entirely from training to just spend together.” Twilight summed up. “That sound like a good plan Ben?”

“Good enough for me.” I smile. “Besides...I want more family time…”

“Then it’s settled.” Rarity said. “Waking up early on the days when I’m not training will be good to help me design clothes. Maybe some new cloaks for Ben.”

“What about this land?” Honora asked. “Shall we leave now or the next day?”

“I recommend now, and now for you Tsavssi.” Luna said, looking at Tsavssi as she sat at the only table in the room. “Our castle is in need of workers, what skills do you have?”

“My ‘husband’ only ever had me cook cause it’s all I’ve ever done. My parents were both well known chefs and are still talked about these days. He kidnapped me because originally, he liked my fur and chest, but after learning I could cook I became his personal cook. I’d have poisoned the lot of them but the guards kept close eyes on me at all times.”

“I’m pretty sure you still could have poisoned them all if they cared more about your fur and chest.” I frown. “Fucking bandits.” I growl.

“Their gluttony outweighed their lust.” She replied in a deadpan tone. 

“Suprising.” I frown. “Well anyways, have you ever wanted to be in a place that’s nice, warm, has greenery everywhere, and the closest dick bag you can find is either imprisoned or getting their ass kicked by me?” I ask her. “As well as be well fed, housed, and capable of finding an actual mate that loves you for who you are instead of for lust or gluttony reasons?”

“Such a place would be a welcome change to not only I, but the whole of Tamriel.” 

“Well you're getting a one way trip to the world we all live on.” I smile. “And, if you want, can work in our castle, where you will be fed, paid, and housed until you either want to leave and make it out on your own, or you can always stay in basically the lap of luxury as a hard worker we all treat as an equal.”

“Show me this place and I will cook you my mother's famous Moon Sugar soup.” She replied with a chuckle.

“Girls?” I ask. “Ready to head on home?” I ask.

“Yes, we should get some moonsugar though.” Luna said. “Tsavssi here will be losing that bet.”

After a quick shop to buy ten pounds of moon sugar, I opened a DTL, which scared Tsavssi, but she was calmed down by the girls as we walked through it. When she saw the castle, she acted like a new york tourist. “How do you like the castle Tsavssi?”

“It is like something from a youngling fairy tail.” She replied, still looking around. “And you are willing to pay me and give me a home?”

“We are all literally royalty here.” I say honestly. “We have so much money we don’t know what to do with it half the time. So yes, we are willing to pay you and give you a home.”

“I… thank you. This means much to me…” To my surprise, Tsavssi hugged me, then let go quickly. “So… where will I be sleeping?”

“I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of living spaces here…” I say honestly. “I’ll have to show you your room…”

“There is a living quarters for all the different servent types, one for maids, one for butlers, two for guards, and one for the cooks, it’s connected to the kitchen so no need to worry about the long hallways.” Luna said. “I’ll show you there and then we can get started on this moon sugar soup.” With that, Luna lead Tsavssi off to the kitchen.

“So…” I say, looking at the other ladies. “How have all you been? I mean...besides Pinkie because she showed me that a while ago.”

“Well while we were there we did mostly some odd jobs.” Twilight said.

“I think I might wanna learn blacksmithing after helping the one in that town.” Gilda said.

“Alright.” I nod. “I know we just got done with all the apologizing, crying and all but...remember I’m marrying you all...I don’t want any of you...to…” I sigh out, sadly not able to get the words out because of how I said this already. “I’m sorry…”

“We didn’t think it though either Ben.” Twilight said.

“We want to help you but you kept rejecting so we tried taking matters in our own hands love.” Rarity said.

“I never rejected anything…” I say. “I promised to help you, and sure I didn’t want you to get involved with this but…”

Gilda wrapped an arm around me and gave me a noogie. “Your crap is our crap, that’s the one thing I know about relationships. Anything you have to deal with, so do we, otherwise we aren’t good partners.”

“Just...don’t vanish on me again alright? I was scared when I came home…” I say honestly. “Sure I don’t leave a note telling you where I’m at because you know what I do normally...I...kind of don’t.”

They gave me a confused look. “We left a note on the bedroom door.” Derpy said. 

“Uh...you did?” I ask in confusion.

The walked me to the bedrom, which was well passed Jenny’s room, and showed me the note taped on the door.



Ben,

Gone off world to train for a week so you can focus on your training more and we can get stronger too, don’t freak out, we’ll be back in a week and if you get worried Celestia knows the name of the world Luxu gave us.

Love, your Finances.



“Jenny was around and heard you all practically arguing about stuff, then she told me you all went to Luxu, who also said ‘I promised not to tell’, but told me in written form where you were.” I frown. “I...probably would have had a breakdown regardless but...still.” I sigh out.

“Would have saved ya some sanity though.” Pinkie said.

“Not...really.” I sigh out. “I’ve read enough books and played enough games to know bad guys would force you to do that.” I say honestly. “And frankly I’ve called practically every cliche a bad guy has done or is in general.”

They just chuckled. “Well either way some good still came out of it, you’re going to be more open with your feelings, and let us carry your burdens equally, and don’t worry, if it turns out to be too much for us, we’ll say something.” Twilight said.

“Well...okay.” I nod. “But frankly I’ve mostly said my peace at this point. My dead parents, the fact I don’t want to be alone anymore...and a few other things.”

“Yeah, been a rough day all around for you.” Gilda said. “Well, Luna and Tsavssi are likely making dinner… what to-”

“Beeeeeeenn!” I heard mom’s voice call.

“I’ll...be a moment.” I say while getting out of Gilda’s hold. “Not sure if on my Assistant…” I mutter, bracing myself for a giant dire wolf grabbing me in a big hug.

Just that happened as Mom gave me, and three of my fiance's caught in her reach, a huge hug… I immediately noticed she had a flat stomach now. “Hello puppy!” She said, squeezing me tighter.

“H-hi mom.” I say sheepishly. “Oh uh...Derpy, Gilda, Honora, this is my mother, Den.” I say to them, my voice muffled by my mother’s hug and boobs.

“I’m not surprised.” Gilda shrugs.

“She’s tall.” Honora says in surprise.

“Her boobs are huge!” Derpy yelled.

“Luna complained about how her boobs are bigger than hers.” I laugh.

“I’m always filled with milk, can’t blame me.” Mom says as she puts us down. “So, Trinity texted saying you were looking for help for your castle.”

“Yep.” I nod. “And I suppose the pregnancy went off without a hitch?”

“Oh I already have seven litters of several million since I last visited.” She said nonchalantly.

“Question…” I start. “Um...Luna brought this up...but will all my kids be part wolf? And two, would all my wives have a normal pregnancy or would they have litters like you do?” I ask nervously, rubbing the back of my neck.

Mom looked at my wives, mainly their hips it seemed. “Well, once married and they become demi-gods by marriage, they will become more fertile than any normal being can, but the Assistant has features to choose whether or not they have one at a time, or litters as big as the rest of your mothers do. Me included.”

“Well...that’s good to know.” I nod. “But hey, I managed to stay well after my first full blown breakdown.” I say to her. “Want to know why?”

“No need sweetheart, just as long as you’re okay now.” She said kiss/licking my head.

“Just be glad that washes out.” I grumble. “Oh, also Joy says hi.” I say to her. “Joy being a...separate personality I suppose?” I say, not entirely sure about how to word it. “But he’s the literal embodiment of...well my joy.”

“Oh really?” Mom says with a smile, patting my head before I feel…something off. Not quite a headache but close as an aura poured out of me and…Joy sat on the ground between mom and I. “Oh! He’s adorable!”

“How in the hell?” Joy asks in confusion, looking at himself.

“I’m a goddess son, there are powers and magic, and other things, you will learn later.” Mom says as she grabs Joy and starts hugging him.

“Um...this new.” Joy says, his voice muffled. “Also, shouldn’t I be in Ben’s head? I mean...I’m his literal joy after all.” He says nervously.

“You technically are sweetie, I just used a small part of Ben’s aura and soul to make a body you can link your personality to. You’re like Ben’s little twin brother.”

”Uh...is that true?” I think curiously.

”Uh...surprisingly yes.” Joy says in my head. “Um...doesn’t that mean I have to also marry Ben’s fiance’s since I’m technically him?” The young pup asks curiously.

Mom patted his head. “Don’t be silly dear, you may be his Joy but with a personality difference like yours you’re more like your father’s emotions/past lives.”

“I’m so confused.” Joy says honestly.

“Trust me Joy...it will only get weirder now that you have your own body.” I chuckle. “But welcome to the family little bro.” I smile. “Girls? What do you think of Joy?”

“What do you mean past lives?” Derpy asked.

“Easy.” Mom says. “Most past lives, when a soul is reincarnated, the past life will be…reused in a different way since the soul must have room for the new consciousness for the new being. Looks like Joy here was Ben some many years before Ben was born, maybe his first time alive at all, the fact Joy is a child means he died a child sadly…but took on the role of Ben’s joy when he reincarnated into Ben.” Mom explains. “Ben’s father has Six of these.”

“This is only getting more and more confusing.” I sigh out.

“Well...I mean I’m my own person.” Joy says sheepishly. “But um...how old would I technically be? I mean...by looks I’m probably about twelve or something...but I’m mentally 23 considering my time as...well…” Joy sighs out, not wanting to talk about his time as ‘Rejection’.

“Hmmm.” Mom thinks. “Oh, I know who to call.”

“GhostBusters?” Me and Joy say at the same time with cheeky smiles.

Mom tapped on her Assistant and after a moment a black fog appeared and…the grim reaper. “Hi.” Mom said with a smile.

“Oh, hey Death.” I say with a little wave. “Oh uh...question, are there multiple grim reapers?”

To my shock, SHE took of her hood revealing a…human Twilight. “Yes son, there are.” She said. “A whole school for that actually, even death dies.”

“Two things...okay three things actually.” I start. “One...did you just call me son? Two, I didn’t think a human Twilight would be a Grim Reaper...and three do I actually call a Grim Reaper when I cast Doom?” I ask curiously.

“One, yes, I’m one of your dad’s wives, his third actually, and no I wasn’t a grim reaper then, two, I picked up the grim reaper job after the last Death realm guardian quit, also.” She shifted into a pony Twilight. “This is my real form, the human one just makes the job easier, and third, yes, a student at the school actually appears for those moves.”

“Cool.” I say with a nod. “So...about Joy here.” I say honestly.

“Um...what are we supposed to call you?” Joy asks Grim Twilight. “Cause uh...Den is our mother and uh…”

“Biologically yes, but I’m no less your mother than she is.” Grim Twilight said, patting my head with her hoof, which was gentle, but still felt hard. “So what was it you wanted?”

“Momma Den said you could tell me my proper age.” Joy says, giving a wave to Grim Twilight even though he was still being hugged.

Grim Twilight looked between Joy and I. “Oh reincarnated then, this will be simple.” Her eyes turned black as she gazed at Joy, then me, then she blinked, her eyes returning to normal. “Well, from what I can tell your soul itself is over three hundred years old, quite the time gap considering it seems only Joy and you are the only personalities your soul has in it.”

“That’s not true.” Joy says. “He has other emotions that I played with on the playground.” Joy says honestly. “They just...decided to stay in his head I suppose. Or were less vocal.”

“No, when I say personalities I mean past lives.” Grim Twilight clarifies. “Only you and Ben are in the soul as…people, to simplify it.”

“Uh...does this normally happen to people with multiple personalities?” I ask curiously.

“Yes, if the personality in question when they were alive was rather strong willed or the soul itself is unstable in some way after it’s been reborn.”

“Well…” I start. “That’s something.”

“I know I’m more...physical but...is this a permanent thing?” Joy asks, starting to get used to actually having a body. “Being in Ben’s head is great and all, I always have someone to talk to...but having my own body...it’s nice.”

“Consider it a gift.” Mom said.

“Thanks mommy.” Joy says with a smile, hugging her as best he could.

“Now for the extra facts.” grim Twilight said, a scroll appearing and opening in front of her. “Let’s see…First name ever given after birth, Kenneth Grodsen. Born 1709, mother was a maid working for an english nobalmen who was his father and even though it was kept secret only the three of them knew and officially Kenneth was on record as the maid's child who lived and worked with her when he was of age, though his father did care for him, birthday gifts and such. Died at age eleven after falling ill with an at the time unknown disease, laid to rest at Timothy cemetery where his gravestone still stands yet the wordings have long since been worn off.” With that she rolled the scroll up and it vanished. “That’s your past life in a nutshell.”

“That...sucks.” Joy frowns.

“Certainly does.” I agree. “But hey, now you're here with a new family, wonderful and loving relatives, and cool powers.” I smile. “Actually...can you summon my weapons?”

“Well...I think so.” Joy says, raising his hand and summoning Reunion at least. “Well... we'll figure it out later.” Joy shrugs.

“He should at least be able to summon Reunion.” Mom says.

“Well...alright.” Joy nods.

“Oh wait crap! What time is it?” I ask quickly, remembering I had to go to Ramilua early in the morning. “Too many things happened and I almost forgot.”

“How about we just...take a break alright?” Joy asks, disbanding Reunion. “Let’s spend more time with mom...we barely do anyways.”

“Yay!” Mom cheered. “Pinkie! Push the button!” Mom threw a button, with the words ‘that was easy’ on it, at Pinkie, who caught it.

“Uh...are we missing something here?” Joy and I ask worriedly.

Pinkie pushed the button, and in a blink… there were decorations, tables with food, servers, and what I assumed were my new brothers and sisters EVERYWHERE! “Instant party!” Mom yelled, taking some food from a nearby table.

“Well…” I start.

“That was easy.” Joy finishes. “But hey, we have family to meet...a lot of them.” Joy says nervously.

“Don’t worry Joy, you're not the only one nervous about making a good impression.” I say sheepishly, the two of us taking a deep breath and walking over to the food table, wanting to get something to eat first.


To be continued...
