Fiend Shifter

Chapter 16

I awoke the next morning with a yawn. I was happily in my birthday suit, sheets covering me as Gilda held me firl and close. Hugging me from behind was Yevon, who admittedly wore Pajamas. Behind Gilda was Zer. And around/on us was the other mates in our herd/harem.

This is a nice way to wake up.

"This is nice." I muttered with a smile. "After everything…I'm glad this is happening…"

I laid there just enjoying the moment, their touch and everything. Eventually though others began waking up and getting out of the cuddle pile. Eventually, I did too. I put on a nice loose shirt that still didn't hide my belly. Some sweatpants, and socks and slippers. I am all done with the very important stuff. I can finally relax and enjoy myself.

I grabbed breakfast, a pile of pancakes, eggs, bacon and hash browns, went over to the couch and sat down as Tommy channel surfed.

"How you doing Tommy?" I inquired.

"Good." They nodded. "You seem happy."

"Yeah, besides some loose ends I need to tie up, everything is perfect." I said with a smile.

"Right. The remaining rifts." Tommy nodded. "At least all the major stuff is done so, taking a break then?"

"Yes, cause I really need a break." I sighed, starting to eat my great breakfast. "Even with the loose ends…it might be a pain in the ass, cause not just the rifts, but finding the rest of Satan, finding Micheal, finding the rest of Sombra, and killing Seymour."

"Fair. At least the big bad is gone so, the rest will be easy by comparison." Tommy shrugged.

I nodded, eating my meal before cleaning my plate and giving a small burp before I laid back on the couch, rubbed my belly and watched some mindless TV.

“Kinda hope Grey isn’t doing anything weird in here…” I muttered, remembering that I had a piece of Grey still roaming around my ‘Stomach’ trying to collect all the Time Gems to help bring back Faust.

I sighed, rubbing my belly more for a while before I got up. Being lazy and watching TV was nice but I want some attention.

I walked around the house, eventually finding Maud in what appeared to be a rock lab.

"Hi Anna." Maud said.

“Hey Maud.” I nodded. “How you doing?”

"I'm alright." She said with a nod. She turned and I noticed a small bump along her stomach. Looks like I know who Gilda has already laid with~

“Had some fun with Gilda?” I asked with a knowing grin.

She blushed, giving the smallest of smiles. "We are in a herd. Would be odd to not lay with the head male first."

“Fair.” I nodded. “And how’d you enjoy our wonderful birb?”

"Gilda was very… soft." Maud said. "Not what I expected when I held and touched my lover for the first time, but their body is more feminine than I expected my lover to be. Save what they have that makes them a male. That was not soft at all."

“Harder than any rock you’ve worked on?” I asked.

She nodded, sorting the rocks on her table. "So, what brings you to my geology lab?"

“Eh, just walking around to talk to whoever.” I shrugged. “Just enjoying my vacation after all the nonsense I had to.”

"I'd expect. What are you planning to do with all your new free time?"

"Dating, relaxing, traveling, fixing all the things Spiral caused…" I sighed.

"And having lots of wild sex with Gilda or whoever while on dates?"

“Exactly.” I giggled happily.

"Well, have fun with that then."

“Thanks Maud.” I said, leaning over and kissing their cheek as we were all in this wonderful herd together and headed out.

I walked down the halls, hoping to run into someone else and maybe get a little frisky.

Eventually, I lucked out and found Luna relaxing in the hot springs room.

"Hello Anna." She greeted, neck deep in the water.

“Hey Luna, enjoying the Hot Spring?”

"Very much so." She sighed happily. "Care for a dip?"

“That would be nice yes.” I said, stripping off my pregnant clothes and gently stepping into the hot spring water.

The hot water felt heavenly on my skin, and once I was in neck deep like Luna I felt all my pregnancy weight melt away. Felt nice but I also enjoy the pregnancy feeling too so once I sat next to her I kept my arms wrapped around my belly.

"Enjoying yourself?"

“Yes I am.” I sighed happily. “So…I think thing’s are slowly working for me to…bring your mother back.” I said carefully.

"It will be a happy day for Tia." Luna said with a nod.

“And then just need to find the pieces of…someone very important.”

"It will be alright. Tia has waited this long. A little while longer while you rest won't be much longer." Luna said with a chuckle.

“Yeah, Celestia would be very happy.” I chuckled. “And then…boy is the special guest going to be a surprise for everyone.”

"If you say so." Luna said. "So, what brought you to the hot springs room? And so early in the morning?"

“I’m bored and was just walking around, talking to whoever I find, cause I’m on vacation.” I chuckled.

"I see. Care to help me scrub or do you wish to partake in far more marital actions~?" Luna asked, giving me a smirk and a wink as I felt her arm wrap around and rub the other side of my belly.

“I can do both.” I said, putting a hand on hers and already excited for what fun we’re gonna have.

After a long bathing session of getting dirty, clean, dirty, and clean again Luna and I emerged from the hot springs bathroom refreshed, happy and dried off. She gave me a deep kiss before leaving to do some paperwork and I went to find someone else to occupy my time.

It was here in the kitchen I found Pinkie Pie, baking away without a care. "Hi Anna!" She called as she was stirring two bowls at once.

“Howdy Pinkie, how you doing?”

"I'm doing great! With all the pregnancies going around and new Borns/hatchlings gonna be arriving soon I'm preparing for multiple parties, and I figured I'd also give you this." Pinkie suddenly was in front of me, holding me tight and giving me a wet, sloppy kiss that tasted like sugar and frosting before she broke the kiss and handed me a cupcake saying 'Yay!' in frosting on it. "Congratulations on beating that super evil, nasty yucky squid!"

“Thanks Pinkie.” I said with a smile, though I technically didn’t beat that prick as it was Vincent literally revoking his existence, but still. “Means a lot to me.” I said warmly, taking a bite of the cupcake and seeing how good it was this time.

It was a mini metropolitan ice cream cupcake covered in dark chocolate cake.

I ate it rapidly.

"Glad! You know what else this means!?"

“What does it mean?” I inquired.

"It means that without that big bad nasty squid you can have and raise your babies one at a time rather than having them all be born at once as adults!"

“That’s…very true Pinkie.” I said, the widest smile I’ve ever had suddenly growing on my face as I was so happy.

Pinkie treated me to having me taste her various pastries, and various hugs and kisses. I spent a good few hours with her before I left so she could prepare for dinner and other baked goods.

As I walked I smiled and hugged my belly tighter… I can be a mom to each of them, one at a time…

I looked around, wanting to just be happy with someone. Eventually I ran into Thor and hugged the big lug by the waist. "What's the cause for affection Anna?" Thor asked with a chuckle.

“I can be a mom without worrying about anything!” I said happily. “Now that Spiral literally doesn’t exist anymore, things will finally look up!”

"That's grand news! Wish for me to hunt a hog to celebrate?"

“Well, this would be a time to celebrate that’s for sure.” I said honestly.

"Huzzah! I shall return before sunset!" Thor said. I let go and he flew off, hammer raised.

I laughed. He's nice.

Now… what else to do…

Wait, their is a gaming room here! I need to catch up!

“Oh I know what I’m going to be doing for my entire vacation.” I said with a growing grin, moving into the gaming room and ready to game my ass off.

I had various options, consoles, PC and a huge library of all… now… what to play- the hell? Nintendo Switch? Huh. Guess they got to release a new console in another dimension… let's see… oh wow there's a decent Pokemon Library here… hmm… I'll go with Shield first.

“Gotta get me a shield doggo.” I said with a smile, ready to see what was new in the land of pokemon.


"Hey Anna?" I looked up, seeing Gilda standing over me. "You good? You've been playing that for hours and Thor showed up with a giant boar he's got and getting ready to roast."

“Yeah, I’m good.” I said, having enjoyed Pokemon Shield a lot as I rubbed my eyes. “So, foods getting worked on?”

"Yeah. Pinkie and the others are making a tofu version but we meat eaters are drooling in anticipation." Gilda said with a chuckle.

“I can imagine.” I chuckled. “Haven’t had good well cooked meat in a while.”

"It will probably be ready in a few hours. Big boar like that is gonna cook nice but slow over an open flame."

“I can already imagine how good it smells.” I said honestly.

"So, Pinkie told me you're gonna be able to have each child one at a time rather than all at once. Honestly, that completely slipped my mind amid all the craziness the last few days."

“Same, and also with how some friend’s are trying to bring Faust back to life…it’s going to be great all around.” I said with a smile. “I’m so glad to know I can give birth currently.”

"So… when do you think you'll birth your first kid?" Gilda asked me. I paused. Much as I want to now or soon… should probably wait til after all the loose ends are tied up.

“Probably until all these loose ends are tied up.” I said carefully. “So Sombra, Micheal, and Seymour are all dealt with…and whatever the hell else is involved cause I have the darndest feeling that, when all is said and done, someone’s gonna be bitch smacking Vincent.”

"Fair enough. Well, in that case I guess that means you're gonna be pregnant… forever huh?" Gilda asked with a chuckle.

I sighed, nodding knowing that so long as I have sex I'll just keep getting more and more babies put inside me.

Being a goddess of life does kinda have that downside.

“Yeah…sucks that I can’t enjoy sex anymore due to this but it’s worth it I suppose.”

"Who says we can't still enjoy sex?"

“Well…I mean, oral and anal and the few…other fetishes we figured out would be good.” I acknowledged.

"No I mean… would it be bad if we kept adding to your… already large pregnancy?"

“I mean…no, that wouldn’t be bad.” I said honestly.

"So… want to?"

“Do you really need to ask, my wonderful griffon?” I asked with a knowing smile.

Gilda smiled, putting a hand to my belly. "I know I probably already put probably… a few million in you but… I'd like if you always had some bit of me with you."

“Like how there’s always some bit of me with you.” I said, gently putting a hand on their chest, the spot I touched glowing lightly to show they were my Prophet, forever holding a part of me in them.

Gilda took my hand, holding it and giving me a smile. "Yeah."

They leaned in, giving me a kiss and we began to disrobe.

That enjoyment lasted an hour, and when we were too tired to go more we got dressed, kissed some more and went out to enjoy the, really huge, two story boar Thor was roasting over a huge fire.

It was a good meal, everyone was present and we talked, played some games, and all in all had fun.

I spent the next few days playing games, being intimate with Gilda, or Luna, or Pinkie… Maud was… interesting.

Gilda and I ganged up on Twilight and she was adorable. She thought it was just gonna be one round.

I also finally shared a bed with AJ. The farm mare trusting me enough for that special moment finally.

Gilda was also finally able to due the Alpha Male of the herd duties and has not been with every member of the herd, males too because my sexy bird rolls that way, and I have also been with all our members now. Male and female. I was thankful Thor and the other Asgardians could change size.

With that fun two weeks behind us I began spending time with Mom, Dad and Tommy.

“So, mom, dad, how you liking this new wonderful world of ours?” I asked my parents, hoping they were having a great time.

“Well, it’s certainly a lot better than what we left.” Dad said honestly.

"It's definitely more peaceful." Mom said, nodding. "Been considering job hunting."

“Well, I suppose you gotta keep busy somehow.” I shrugged. “Alright, so I was thinking, how about we do a rift run as a family? Ya know, get at least you two more used to your abilities and the like.”

"Aren't you a bit… unable?" Mom asked, pointing at my ever pregnant belly.

“Oh, don’t worry about that.” I said. “I have a clone that can do i while my body is resting here…well, less ‘clone’ and just a copy that I can body swap to.”

"Yeah. I've seen it. Kinda weird." Tommy said.

“Only thing I find weird is…not feeling the weight anymore…” I said, holding my baby bump lightly.

"I know the feeling. When I had you two the first month or two I kept waking up expecting the extra six to eight pounds." Mom said with a chuckle.

“Ugh, don’t even get me started on the weight gain that isn’t my kids…” I groaned, having worked really damn hard to get in shape during my training days but…oh god did I just think ‘training days’ when that was barely half a year ago?

"What would we do when we get to the rift?" Mom asked.

“Look around the place, take what we can, fight monsters, and then kill a boss monster, and get whatever loot it spawns…and also uh…maybe possibly sorta put a piece of Earth into Equestria…” I explained sheepishly. “Cause so far I’ve…gotten a transport ship…and dumped all of Australia into the Dragon Lands.”

“Aren’t the Dragon Lands supposed to be a volcanic wasteland?” Mom asked.

“So Australia?” Tommy commented, which got a chuckle out of me.

"Do you know what's inside these rifts beforehand?" Dad asked.

“Not really no.” I said honestly. “But all I know is that, without the world hanging in the balance for me to hurry up, it should be simple and fun.”

"I suppose at least once would be fine." Mom said.

“First Family Dungeon run.” Dad nodded.

"So, where are we going and when?" Tommy asked.

“Hmm.” I hummed, pulling out the Rift map and opening it up. “We can go whenever we’re all ready, and the closest one is two hours away from here.”

"I guess we can go tomorrow. Gives us time to prepare and get ready." Mom said.

“Yep.” I nodded. “Better to be prepared than not.”

The next morning I got my copy body awake and ready, getting used to the no belly feeling for a while before my family and I were off.

This rift was over some place called the Ghastly Gorge. We arrived before it just before noon. 

"So, what should we expect?" Mom asked.

“A lot of weird monsters, normally I would say ‘Fiends’, some of the monsters I can turn into, but then there’s weird creatures from other worlds…like annoying as hell monkey’s that are tanky as hell until you throw poison at them.”

"Weird… what about people?" Dad asked.

“There can be people there.” I said honestly. “Like the people in Australia…met one person that was a Crocodile farmer, and then met a group of people that were run by a literal fallen angel, not demon, and also, Christianity is very wrong due to Michael being a bitch apparently."

"Huh. That actually makes sense." Mom said.

“Exactly.” I nodded. “And I’m gonna kill him…or have someone in my head that’s gonna kill him.”

"Right." Tommy said.

With that we all entered the Rift.


I was happy it landed us on solid ground. Or rather, a solid roof. There was some overgrowth of vines, moss and such but other than that, it was sturdy.

"What's with the fog?" Tommy asked as there was a fog thick enough to obstruct our view of everything save each other on this roof.

“No idea…we better not be in Silent Hill.” I huffed.

"I actually played that game and… I really hope not." Dad said.

"Saw the movie. Wasn't impressed." Mom added.

“The movie doesn’t do it justice.” I shook my head.

"So, where and what fragment of earth is this?" Tommy asked.

“No idea, hold on.” I said, trying to sense what life there was on this section of earth. “Hopefully we’re not in Detroit, can’t have shit in Detroit.”

"Did you really quote a meme?" Tommy asked as I tried to sense something.

I sensed plants. Animals… and… nothing. No human life at all.

"Well, I don't sense any human life." I said. "Plenty of plants and animals though."

"That feels like cause for concern." Dad said.

“Yeah…” I said carefully, looking around to see if there was a good spot to jump down from this roof.

I couldn't even see the floor. I walked around and eventually spotted a roof access door.

It was locked but I broke the handle and pulled it open easily.

Man these Abilities are awesome.

We walked downstairs and came across what looked to have been an office building. The desks and cubicles all tossed and turned. Oddly, not a single broken window.

“Alright…so nothing’s broken but it looks like a lot of panic happened.”

"It was pretty hectic before." Dad said. "Damage could have been way worse." He said, kicking a desk aside to walk through.

"Weird." Tommy said, touching the few still upright desks and items. "Despite the overgrowth outside, there's no dust or mold or anything inside."

I looked around… Tommy was right. No dust or vines or mold. The windows were dirty on the outside only.

“So…either someone’s living here, or we’ve got a monster problem.” I said carefully.

"I don't know." Dad said. "It's like time inside the buildings just stopped but outside they're still moving."

"Try sensing something now Anna." Tommy suggested.

With a nod I focused and…

Five human life signs three floors down? But, how? I didn't sense anything… outside.

The Fuck is going on here?

“Alright, so something is very weird here.” I said honestly. “Cause now I sense five people three floors down…”

"That is odd." Tommy said.

We quickly made our way down the five floors, coming across a makeshift camp on the floor. Mattresses and propane tanks and grills, candles gave light.

On one of these mattresses were three small children and standing before us was a man and a woman both who were armed.

“We come in peace.” I said carefully to the armed man and woman.

"Who, where did you come from?" The man asked.

“Technically the real world.” I said. “My name's Anna, who are you?”

"What kind of answer is that?" The woman asked.

"Pardon my sister, she's an idiot." Tommy said, making me huff. "I'm Tommy, this is my mom, dad and sister Anna. Long story short we're new here."

"Clearly." The man said. "How'd you navigate the fog?"

“We didn’t, we just picked a random direction and went.” I shrugged. “Found the roof service door and came down here.”

"Wouldn't be the first time people end up on roofs." The lady muttered. "So, what generation?"

"Pardon?" Tommy asked.

"What generation are you? First, second, fifth?"

"Uh… first?" Dad offered.

“Second.” I said carefully, now really confused as to what the hell is going on and just going with ‘second’ due to me being a ‘second generation’ technically.

"Well, that's refreshing. Not a lot of old timers around anymore." The man said. "Names Gary, this is Tabitha. We're both second generation and our kids are technically fourth generation."

"Right. So, you all live in this building?" Mom asked.

"Yes. For thirty years now. At least by our count." Tabitha said.

Thirty years?

“That…shouldn’t be the case…” I muttered, shaking my head. “What was the last thing you remember happening before the fog rolled in?” I asked carefully, finding this extremely weird as none of the other rift’s worked like this.

"Shit I was what? Ten?" Gary said. "I was sitting at home with my parents. Whole 2012 chaos was going on and then… got quiet. Crazy thick fog out the window and opening a window, no noise and it doesn't go through any openings. Swear it actually closes doors and repairs windows."

"I was in a park with my mom. One minute I'm swinging the next. We're walking aimlessly in fog. We were looking for her car and somehow ended up on some rich guys yacht." Tabitha said.

"That doesn't make sense." Mom said.

"That's how the fog is." Gary shrugged. "You take five feet from a door or someone next to you, you'll be lucky to ever see that place or them again. Just, I dunno, Teleports you."

“Alright…so none of this should have happened like…at all.” I said, now really confused if this is the same Earth.

"Pst. Heck if we know." Gary said. "I was in New York when this happened. Tabitha here was in England."

Tabitha nodded. "We've met people from Mexico. Japan. Russia. I don't think this hit all over the world but maybe a good few chunks of it?"

"Any monsters in the fog?" Tommy asked.

"Some rumors, one fella swore he shot a demon in the fog. Another claimed they saw a fifty foot snake. Personally I think they were both just nuts." Gary said.

“Considering…somethings, they might be right.” I said carefully, trying to figure out where on earth we are cause this shouldn’t have happened, cause all of Australia was fine and dandy, the ship was fine, so what the hell?

I tried to wrap my mind over what the hell could be up with this place… maybe… maybe each rift is different? Or the bigger the rift the crazier the thing to deal with?

What other case, I need to know how to undo all this
… And there is one person who can help me… Yevon.

"Hey Yevon? Can you hear me?"

"Yes Anna?" He replied.

“Yeah, can I get some help here? I’m in a rift with my family here and there’s this weird ass fog that practically teleports people and possibly has monsters in it.” I mentally explained.

"Ah. I remember that one. Spiral had several unique rifts to keep you trapped for a while so he could do stuff and keep you occupied and outside of Equis."

“Well it’s a good thing that prick of a tick is dead dead and doesn’t exist.” I mentally brought up. “So, how do we break out and stop the fog?”

"If I remember correctly there are three Fog Makers. Once those are gone all the fog will dissolve and you can then find the Fayth Anchor and destroy that and restore this place to the proper timeline."

“Cool…now I just need to figure out where these Fog Makers are with my family and there we go.” I said. “Also, mind if I ask how it’s been 30 years in this world when other’s were pretty much a year or so around my time?”

"Oh that, he did that to mess with you and the people stuck in there. His way of making you feel less helpful by having you debate on completely changing how peoples lives in those pocket dimension have been. Granted it is for the better but let's be honest when it's the only world they know change to a whole new one is gonna be terrifying for them."

“That’s fair, but also that guy’s an asshole.” I said.

"Oh trust me, once you regain your past timeline memories your hatred of him will reach new levels you never expected." Yevon said with a sigh. "At any rate the hard part in this rift is the random teleporting. But, there is a trick to it."

“Me recovering my memories is another massive god damn hurdle! Ugh~....okay, what’s the trick to this stupid place?” I asked, hating how there’s another thing I forgot about that I really need to do.

"Simple. This pocket dimension also has a slice of Earth's purgatory still with it. You just shift from the physical plane to purgatory and the fog won't affect you."

“Well…I suppose I should have a form that can work like that…” I said honestly.

"Anna, you can do that naturally. You are a goddess of life."

"Oh yeah." I chuckled as I did just that, shifting myself into their purgatory since I now have jurisdiction there.

The shift was… an odd feeling. Everything had a… well, not really transparent look to it, more like a… glossy… dirty glass like appearance look to it. Huh.

I walked outside, seeing the fog was way more manageable. Okay, so where are those fog makers?

"So, they're either monsters, or something else…" I hummed, moving around the fog carefully and ready for anything.

It was uneventful. I shifted to my Griffin form and took flight. I didn't see much. The geology of this place was definitely just random chunks of the earth lifted up and formed…. Some makeshift set of islands.

“Well, Spiral wasn’t really that imaginative with thing’s besides the fog…” I frowned. “So, there’s supposedly a demon and a fifty foot snake…”

I flew back down and began looking for whatever was making this fog.

As I flew I nearly crashed into… Mt Rushmore? Huh. Well, at least it's still huh?

I looked up, seeing on top of Lincoln's head was a giant, and I mean GIANT frog!

It's mouth was open wide as the fog poured out in huge puffs.

"Now that's a huge bitch." I said, bringing out my magic rifle. "Alright…let's see how strong this is now…" I said, remembering this was charge by my own magic as I tried to charge and fire a simple bullet towards the thing and not a giant laser.

I pulled the trigger. There was no recoil. A low sounding gunshot… and no frog or fog for miles… there was also no Mt Rushmore any more… oops…

“I didn’t want a giant laser damn it!” I whined. “Ugh, this sucks! I wanted to bring my family here too~!” I whined, not knowing if my magic could even reshape the entire fucking mountain.

I huffed as I put the rifle away. Man, why does Nexus make so many overkill weapons?

Okay, next frog… 

“Ech, whatever…” I grumbled, flying off to find the next frog and wondering what other national monument I might accidentally make not exist anymore.

More flying through purgatory landed me in what appeared to be France. The frog here was just sitting in a large open countryside.

Okay… how to deal with this? Use the rifle again? A different weapon?

“Here, let’s just try this.” I said, bringing out my staff as I tapped it on the ground, trying to summon vines to either strangle the thing or pierce the thing.

A tree shot up through the ground, frog, and emerged from it's head. Long branches pulling and tearing flesh, bone, and organs.

Okay that was… way more graphic that I ment…

“Sure! Okay…just gonna…” I turned around and threw up at what I just witnessed. “The fuck!?”

I put the staff away. Okay, clearly my powers over life and nature are stronger than I expected… also these frogs don't fight back… or maybe I'm too strong so it feels like they don't fight back?

“Ugh…okay, so I dealt with two of these things so far…” I sighed. 

Another long flight back in purgatory I found the third giant frog… somehow in the bottom of this ocean. Okay. Well the weight isn't crushing it.

“Alright…now how do I want to deal with this thing now?” I wondered.

Hmm… I shrugged, pulling that weird small handgun and shooting it.

The giant frog died in one shot.

Okay, one last frog then the fog is gone and this family trip so far has been a bust…

I sighed, really hating how this family trip that I wanted to be a cool adventure for us turned into effectively a waste of time. “This could have gone a lot better…ugh, this sucks…”

With a huff I found the last frog and also shot it dead.

I phased out of purgatory and found the Fayth Anchor. That was easily blown up and once this place was back in reality I found my family having fun with the family that was here.

“Hey guys.” I said. “How are you all doing while I was gone?”

"We're playing Uno." Dad said. "Wanna join?"

“Sure.” I nodded, walking over and sitting down with everyone. “It’ll at least help me not feel like this adventure didn’t go downhill fast…”

"Eh, to be honest I think it's for the best." Tommy said. "I was here the longest with you and didn't adventure once."

"And that sucks…" I sighed. "It…just feels like everything's going too fast and…" I trailed off, not wanting to say that it feels like I'm no longer close to my family after so much…like I'm just abandoning them cause of all this crap.

"Maybe we can try something simpler next time sweetie? Like a picnic or go watch a movie?" Mom suggested.

“Yeah…” I nodded. “That would help next time…”

Despite everything I did have fun playing Uno with my family and these two and their kids.


"So, adventure was a bust?" Gilda asked.

“Sadly…” I sighed. “Which really sucks…I wanted to have fun on an adventure with my family…but nope…just had to solve all the problems by myself…”

"At least you all had fun coming back from that movie." 

“Yeah, that was fun.” I nodded. “Just…glad to have my parents and brother back…”

"It might be for the best that ended up being a bust. Your family isn't on the same strength level as you and properly would have gotten hurt."

“I mean, we were also thrown into a trap made by Spiral cause of fucking course.” I rolled my eyes. “Just wanted to do some basic monster murder and just seeing some neat stuff, but no.”

Gilda chuckled. "Hey, I thought you were looking for to being done with all that?"

“I’m looking forward for monster murder not being tied to the end of the world or the end of everyone I love.” I said. “Simple monster hunting is fine…but considering…” I gently held my baby bump now that I was back in this body. “Gonna be very hard for that.”

"Well, personally I think it's better to get it out of the way sooner rather than later. Once it is, we can just enjoy the highs and lows of parenting."

“Yeah.” I nodded. “It will be amazing when it happens…too bad I still have a truck load of problems to fix or finish…”

To be continued...
