Asura the demigod of Wrath and a soon-to-be father. He is sent down to Gaia to investigate an unusual energy signature detected by the Karma Fortress scanners. Once there he finds an unusually powerful infant who decides to call him father, seeing that his refusal to accept this causes the infant to cry he decides to take her in unable to stand the sight of a child crying now the father of this usual being we Don as both he and the young being he found wearing when she came from why she's there and what the power detected actually was.
Asura stood on the bridge of the Karma Fortress having been called there by Emperor Strata and his comrade Deus, a fellow Guardian General and the head of the group of eight extremely powerful demigods each of whom held a Mantra Nature. Asura was the holder of the nature of Wrath, one of if not the strongest single Mantra Nature.
"What's going on?" Asura asked Deus before turning to his Emperor and respectfully bowing.
"We've detected a strange energy signature with significant power near one of the mines," Deus explained pointing to the aforementioned mine. "While most of the Karma Fortress is made of solidified Mantra the framework still needs material." As he said this Deus pointed out the workers building the torso framework far below. "We suspect Vlitra is creating a new type of Gohma to attack our mines and is about to unleash one where the energy was detected. Feel up for a solo mission?"
"Yes but only because the mine you pointed out is near my home. If whatever it is gets closer it could threaten my wife and unborn child." Asura said as he ran for the edge of the platform. "Don't even try sending my brother-in-law Yasha as backup this time!" With that, the demigod of Wrath jumped off the Krama fortress and began falling to Gaia.
"Asura…" Deus said with a growl. "Your loyalty should be to the people, not just your family."
"The boy is still young my friend." Strata said. "His wife is with child and the threat the Gohma pose is too great to them. I'm sure that in time once the child is born he'll be a great asset especially since his child should they be female will become our new Priestess."
"You are right my emperor." Deus ceded. "If Asura wants to eliminate a threat to his family alone we shan't interfere," Deus smirked. "Though said Family is on standby if the threat is too great."
"So you're forgoing his wishes and telling Yasha anyways." Strata said with a chuckle and a smirk of his own. "Why do you encourage their rivalry? Is it because you hope they may reach the heights of their teachers or because they can become greater and give you the challenge you crave?"
"Neither," Deus admits. "Their rivalry amuses me. The here too focused on themselves to truly try to challenge me."
"Ah, the fact that this focus for each other is misplaced yet still benefits them both is the amusing bit?"
"Quite."
Meanwhile high in the atmosphere of Gaia…
"While I normally won't use my Septentrion its travel speed is greater than my current maximum when reentering the atmosphere so thank you," Asura said in a rare act of mild kindness to his crew.
"Think nothing of it General." A mechanation troop Kagebosh said. "We live to serve and to purify Gohma."
"Right," Asura replied as he approached the open edge of his bridge. "Make sure to destroy any that get past me. Other than that don't fire but remain on standby." With that, the demigod of wrath leaped into the open air.
"Roger." The same Kagebosh said. "We shall be on standby."
Asura noticed that the sky was clear, a sign that the Gohma might not be the source of the readings. Though his sensors were picking up something down below. What that was became clear as he landed on the ground near the mine entrance. "What is this?" He asked himself as he looked at the unconscious Gohma surrounding an orb of purple energy. "Gohma are always attacking the humans, seeing them unconscious like this can not be natural."
Using his implanted sensors he examined the orb seeing a living thing inside through the shell. "Are you what caused this?" Asura approached the closest Gohma, a Minor Howler, examining the beast before slamming his fist into it. "Even if you are the cause of the Gohma's unnatural behavior I must eliminate them." He said as he began attacking the beasts. The noise of his attacks waking many of them.
The loud sounds of his attacks and the bodies of the Gohma impacting the ground caused a reaction in the purple orb. This caught Asura's attention momentarily allowing a now awake Charger to nearly ram the demigod before a black and purple beam of energy pierced the Charger's skull. The origin of the beam turned out to be the orb which showed cracks before a purple and gold blur burst out of the orb and began attacking the Gohma alongside Asura. The blur seemed to slice its opponents in half or into pieces as it went through the Minor and Major Howlers, the few Chargers left showing reactions to blunt force like they would if Asura had attacked them. The blur landed in Asura's arms as the last Gohma dissolved into red energy.
"What?!" Asura asked as he got a good look at the thing. Said thing turned out to be a purple pony with six wings floating just above it glowing ports connecting them to its back, and a horn along with golden-clad front legs.
"You’re a very unique demigod little one." He said as he examined the pony, noticing how it was a female and how its body seemed to emulate his biomechanical figure. A sign of the pony's raw power. "That is if you even are a demigod." He muttered. "Nonetheless I should probably take you back with me after seeing what you did to the Gohma. You are very powerful for such a young one."
"Ok, Papa." The pony said a smile on her face. Whereas Asura's face showed pure shock at what the pony called him.
"Papa?" Asura asked as he began heading towards Shinkoku. "I am not your father!" He shouted in anger causing the pony to begin crying. The sight of tears in the young ones' eyes caused Asura to feel anger. Not his normal anger at the Gohma and Yasha and everyone else but anger at himself for causing such a sight. "All right stop crying!" He said as the pony complied, 'Durga is already with child so becoming a father a little earlier than planned should not affect me too drastically' He thought "I shall be your father young one if that is what you wish. But understand that I will take no more crying from you after all you're about to be a big sister so you have to be a rock for your little sister to hold on to in her time of need."
The pony squealed in joy before hugging Asura's torso, her raw strength causing the metal of both of their biomechanical bodies to groan. "That strength of yours needs controlling young one if you hug your mother let alone your soon-to-be-born sibling like that you could seriously harm them." 'I wonder if Master would train her, after all, a young mind to mold into a great warrior is something he's been looking for.' " I cannot keep calling you young one though, as we head towards home I shall think of a name for you it is nearing Twilight."
"Whylight!" The pony said in response to the word "Me Whylight!"
"You already have a name and it's Twilight?" Asura said shocked "If you have a name already, why do you call me father?"
"No mama, no Papa," she said with a sad look on her face "Golden Scary took them away, took everyone away but I followed! Find new Papa!" At this, she beamed "Find you!"
"So You're an orphan" 'a common problem among demigods and humans alike' He thought grimly. "Whatever this golden scary was, I promise it cannot hurt you now. If it ever returns I promise I will punch it until it explodes!" Asura grinned at the thought of destroying whatever hurts his new daughter. "I understand that you already have a name but it is not common to be named after a moment in time around here so I still think of a new name to go along with your current one. One that you will be called more often around here."
"I can still keep my old one right Papa?" Twilight asked, speaking slowly to make sure her words were clear.
"Of course, your new name will be added to your old one. You'll just need to learn to respond to the new one that is all." Asura said as he shifted his hold on the pony so that she was lying curled up in his arms. "Now rest young one that fight must have taken a lot out of you for one so young. I shall bring us both home in due time."
"Wuv you papa," Twilight said as she drifted off.
Asura paused at that before grinning "I love you too young one." With that Asura picked up speed as he began running towards home. What neither of them knew was Twilight's appearance was noticed by a god.
"This is interesting," A voice said to the open-air "one of the few immortals from that world followed me and is now in the care of my chosen heir." A flash of gold appeared for a moment as a Pure Gohma was destroyed. "And with its appearance, Viltra's mind has partially awoken and is making the true Gohma how irritating. What to do? For now, I'll do nothing I have to let my vessel be born first after all." With that, the god's presence faded back to Naraka.
Magic of the Mantra chapter 2 entering Shinkoku Meeting the generals and A new Name
Asura had reached the mighty city of Shinkoku, his new daughter still dozing in his arms. "We are nearing Shinkoku young one," He said as he leapt into the air landing on the edge of the floating city. Twilight stirred from the sudden stop and looked to Asura. "I shall take you to meet my Master and my comrades in the guardian generals; after that, you will meet your new mother, my wife Durga."
"Mama?" The pony asked.
With a chuckle, Asura answered. "Yes, young one Durga will be your Mama." 'I just hope she won't be mad at my adoption of you considering' he thought.
As the two walked through the halls the sounds of thundering footsteps approached them. "Asura my friend!" A deep voice boistered, "How was the mission. l hope it went well considering your back without a scratch."
Upon hearing the voice Twilight started and buried her muzzle into Asura's chest. "Too loud!" She groaned "Want quiet!"
Seeing her reaction caused Asura to turn around to the giant owner of the voice. "Wyzen, you have five seconds to apologize to my little girl here before she and I punch you out!"
The man named Wyzen was a massive eight feet tall. Most of that height came from his massive belly which thanks to the biomechanical nature of most demigods wasn't too big to move around with. His dark skin was exposed for the most part save his right arm that had been replaced with a golden ornate gauntlet with beautiful embossings that allowed Wyzen to fire off golden mantra orbs and missiles of the same metal as his gauntlet.
Wyzen noticed Asura's cargo. "My! Durga gave birth already? Congratulations!"
As Wyzen reached out to play with the child Twilight got ready to punch him in his loud face. Once he got close enough she leapt from Asura's arms and quickly took her chance. "You too loud!" She said as her hoof met Wyzen's cheek knocking him back to stumble into a wall a good five feet behind him.
This caused Asura to laugh. "I warned you." He said as Wyzen got his bearings before looking at the floating child. "This little one is an orphan I found on my mission. I've decided to adopt her. And considering she helped me beat some Gohma before I got a good look at her and her punch just now you can see why."
Wyzen was stunned, after feeling the raw strength behind something so small he had gotten a good look at the little pony. "Such power from something so CUTE!" He slowly approached the pony who was slowly flapping her six wings to remain airborne. "My humblest apology, young one. I meant no harm with my volume, it is just how I talk. It is a part of who I am just like your wings are a part of you." He frowned "Still I shall endeavor to lower my volume around you and your sibling in the future." Wyzen extended his right-hand palm up in a gesture of friendliness. "Please forgive the great Wyzen."
Something in those last words stirred a memory from deep within Twilight. The memory of a sky blue unicorn with a white mane and tail with light grey streaks talking in the third person. At the thought of this pony, Twilight fell onto Wyzen's palm. Tears began forming as she saw Wyzen as this pony. Instead of answering him with words, Twilight decided to nuzzle his hand causing Wyzen to begin to laugh uncontrollably.
"I see you forgive me little one but please stop!" He got out in between bouts of laughter, to which Twilight obeyed, stopping her nuzzling to look into the sumo's eyes. "Thank you young one for as much as the great Wyzen likes to laugh and spread that laughter to my fellow comrades in the guardian generals there are times we must be serious." Unnoticed by them both a sky blue glow passed between Twilight and Wyzen and the power sunk deep into Wyzen's soul. "You should return to your father. He's not the most happy general on most days but he seems to glow with joy when you are with him."
"Ok unca Wyzen," Twilight said as she glided back into Asura's arms. "He loud but fun." She said as she snuggled into her father's chest.
"That he is." 'For you maybe' Asura said with a small grimace which disappeared as Twilight poked him.
"Bad Papa, no grumpy thoughts about friends!" She said as they continued onward Wyzen following them.
"There a reason you are following us, Wyzen?" Asura asked with a grumble which Twilight poked him for.
"There are some of the other guardian generals who will not be as open-minded as me considering her form," Wyzen said plainly. "Olga may react similarly to me due to her "adorableness"." He said with air quotes. "Sergei may also like her "beautiful coat color" but the others I fear will have a far more negative reaction considering what she looks like. Especially Karlo." He shook his head at the thought of the strategist and intellectual among the guardian generals. "Since you and I are the first ones to have interactions with her I figured I should be present to make sure that none of them harm her alongside you."
"You think I can't protect her?!" Asura began angrily.
"Nothing such as that my friend." Wyzen placated. "I merely want to be another voice providing that she is intelligent besides herself and you. Two guardian generals' words will be better than one."
This calmed Asura's wrath. "True her looks are unusual for a demigod." He nodded. "You make a good point Wyzen, to think I didn't like any of the others that much." Asura turned to the larger demigod eyes blazing. "But if Karlo gets anywhere near her before she's ready it will be on your head."
"Understood," Wyzen said knowing that Asura would follow through on his threat from past experience with Durga.
The group of three continued on walking down the halls of Shinkoku nearing the chamber of the guardian generals. As they approached two Rashos crossed their spears stopping their advance. "Halt on the orders of the emperor all guardian generals must be present before entering the chamber." The one on the left said "You two are the first to arrive for the debriefing. Please wait here while the other generals approach."
"Every time," Asura said with an annoyed groan. "I respect Strata for what he has done for the demigods, but some of his orders piss me off."
"Hi!" Twilight said, waving at the guards who reacted by pointing their spears at her. "Ooh shiny!" She said examining the golden material that made up their weapons. "Pretty too!"
"Lord Asura," the one who spoke before started, "Why is the young one here and what is it exactly?"
"I found her during my last mission, she is an orphan that helped me in removing the Gohma threat around her. Considering that fact alongside what Wyzen and I have witnessed of her strength and the fact that she arrived in the area where I was supposed to find an anomaly, I figured bringing her here to meet the others would help with the debriefing, as she was the only thing that could cause it considering what I saw." He said glaring at both of the mechanical warriors "I have also adopted her considering her situation and the fact I am to become a father meaning that I have the means to take care of her alongside my wife," at this point his mantra started leaking out in a visible red aura of flames "that means you should not point your weapons at the child of a guardian general!"
This immediately caused the Rashos to lift their weapons and hold them in resting position as they flanked the doors back in their guarding positions. "Apologies Lord Asura, considering her physical shape our programming forces us to respond to anything that might remotely look like a Gohma, though her coloring only made us weary as there have never been any purple Gohma. Red, yes, blue in a very rare case or two, but never purple."
Asura just growled at this before Wyzen rested a hand on his shoulder. "Asura do not attack them, you know as well as I that following their program is just like following an instinct for us. Something hard to overwrite with conscious knowledge and considering her shape it's understandable what just happened."
"I understand but that does not mean I have to like it." He responded, his aura dying. "Where are the others they should've gotten the notice and shown up by now?!"
"Had you not been so focused on the guards Asura you would have noticed that we had just shown up but as always your temper overrides your sense." A new voice chided Asura as the sound of footsteps on stone and carpet approached. "We are all here, let us in!" The man said as he stood next to Asura.
"Lord Yasha!" The left guard said, examining the group of eight diverse humanoids and one pony before reaching to open one of the doors. "Very well the emperor is waiting inside."
Once the doors opened the group of nine entered the conference room. Each General bowed to the Emperor sitting in his throne overlooking the circular conference table before taking their respective seats at said table with Asura being the last thanks to Twilight in his arms. When the bearer of wrath went to bow Strata noticed the pony in his arms.
"Who is this?" He asked gently, his voice reminiscent of a kindly grandfather. "Asura has your wife already given birth and you had not told us?"
"No my emperor," Asura responded, straightening out from his usual bow of the head. "This little one is the result of my mission, an orphan I've decided to take in since I have the means to raise her. The way I found her and her unusually high levels of strength are most likely what caused the anomaly."
While this was going on Twilight had taken in this new demigod, an elder, one night even her new father respected to the utmost. One she could tell he would never get angry at save for a decision he disagreed with. In her young mind, there was only one kind of being that would command such respect from one such as her father; in response to this conclusion, she decided to act in kind.
"Grampa!" She shouted in joy as she glided over to the Elder before hugging the man lightly. Her actions shocked everyone besides Strata and herself. The former began to laugh at her conclusion, not out of spite but because he had wanted this reaction from Asura's children and had been working towards that end in secret.
"Little one I may command your father's respect but I am not your grandfather though as a compliment the title is well-received." Strata said as he patted the pony's back. "I am in fact the leader of the demigods of the world! My name is Strata but you and your sister may call me gramps if it so pleases you."
This caused Deus to protest "Lord Strata I must insist that anyone give you the proper respect as the leader of our people that you deserve. This thing is not to dishonor you by perceiving itself as your family no matter who has adopted it."
That remark caused both Yasha and Asura to growl in anger, Asura going so far as to audibly grumble. "Why you!"
But luckily Strata put a stop to their anger before anything happened with a look to Deus that showed his own anger. "Deus you know that Asura's children, especially his wife's unborn child will have important roles in the upcoming fight against Viltra! Establishing a genuine connection with them but at such a young age will not only strengthen their resolve but help the entire world survive the threat of the gohma! I will happily allow them to associate me with a grandfatherly figure as that is how I have ruled ever since I took the throne! As a family member to all demigods and all mortals, one that protects them with their great strength and wisdom. It is no dishonor for this little one to call me grandfather. This child no matter her looks is not a thing, she is a demigod just like you! You shall treat this little one with the respect that you would treat Asura and your other comrades of the generals!"
Deus bowed his head in shame, "I am sorry my Lord I meant no disrespect."
"But disrespect was given not just to me but to Asura and his family, so do not just apologize to me but to this little one, Asura, and Yasha for the disrespect and dishonor you have shown this day." Strata commanded.
Begrudgingly Deus followed the order, "Asura, Yasha, little one I am sorry for my harsh words."
With the matter out of the way, Twilight let go of Strata's chest and decided to sit in his lap curling up with her head facing the table. This action brought another chuckle out of the emperor, who waved off Asura "It is clear that your little one wants to be able to see what goes on in this room and as this is a debriefing about her it is best that she be seen by everyone. Since she has no seat at the general's table and my prior desire to foster a genuine relationship with your children, I shall let her sit here to observe and be seen."
Asura bowed in respect once more. "My emperor," he said as he joined the others at the table, nervous but knowing that his child would not be harmed with the most powerful man on the entire planet being her seat.
"Now to call this meeting to order." Strata said as the table lit up, projecting recorded footage from Asura's ship. "At 02:00 yesterday Deus and I sent Asura out on a scouting mission after receiving a report of an anomaly detected at the material mines for the mantra fortress. The footage, which was recorded at my request, that you are about to see, is the result of that mission." The video began playing revealing a wide shot of the events leading up to Asura discovering Twilight. "As you can plainly see, while she has some relation with the gohma it is not a friendly relation, meaning that Asura's actions in taking in the little one are justified."
This caused Karlo to chime in, "Her unusual strength is a Marvel to behold but emerging the way she did from that thing is what really has captured my attention. If I may be so bold I suggest that she be placed under my care so that I can study that unique energy and figure out how to replicate it for our own Warriors."
This response surprisingly did not just spark anger in Asura and Yasha but everyone sans Deus, Ogla being the loudest in her rejection. "You pervy old man! All you would do to that adorable will one is tear her apart piece-by-piece to find out exactly what makes her tick! Destroying something so beautiful and sweet in the process Asura and Durga are blessed to have such a little one in their care and I refuse to let someone as vile as you harm a single hair upon her head!" Olga shouted, her sword pointed at Karlo's head alongside Argus' sheathed weapon.
"As the former master of both Asura and Yasha, I have to agree. You would do far more harm than good to that little one. I may not understand the desire to protect something but even I see the potential in such strength!" Argus said.
"Enough!" Strata commanded in response to the outrage. "Like the others, I agree that you should be kept far away from the little one until she is ready. She's far too young to become a test subject of your machinations. You may be our greatest strategic mind Karlo but you should know your place." As he was saying this Strata pet Twilight to stop her trembling. "She will remain with Asura and his family for the foreseeable future. I will have no objections!"
Everyone sat down once again after that statement. "Argus if and when Asura and the little one agree you shall train her to control her unnatural strength. One day she may join all of you on the battlefield as the leader of the imperial guard if she so chooses. Even if not it is best that she learns to contain and control her power. So having our greatest fighter train her is beneficial to everyone."
"I agree," Asura said, surprising everyone that the man would allow his family to fight alongside him sans Yasha. "She has already shown that she can defeat strong gohma and shown that she can even harm demigods with a single strike even if only slightly, once she is old enough she should be trained to not harm others and her surroundings with such power. Your training may be harsh Argus but it helped me control my own near immeasurable wrath so having you train her will be more than satisfactory. But know this if you ever, and I mean ever, deliberately put her in harm's way or harm her such as you did with me I will kill you. That does not mean hold back on her but take it slow." While saying this after his eyes temporarily glowed white with wrath, showing the cold fury behind that statement.
"Very well!" Argus said knowing that his former student would follow through with his threat should he need to. "I will train her once she is ready and considering how she is eyeing my sword I may train her in the arts of the blade and not just the fist."
"Have there been any other developments besides this little one showing up," Sergi asked. "If not, I believe the meeting should conclude."
"That is all for now my generals" Strata said before turning to Twilight. "Though there is a more personal matter, we never got your name, little one?"
"Astra!" She said "Astraloa!"
The name surprised Asura but did not disappoint him remembering what he had said to her before the meeting about her first name not being common.
"Astraloa?" Strata said "It most certainly fits. Very well young Astra the meeting is over, join your father once more!"
"Bye-bye Grandpa Emperor!" Twilight said as she flew into her father's arms while he and the others stood up to leave. "See you later!" She said bowing her head in respect.
The action brought another chuckle from the Emperor as he himself stood up. "That you will, little Astra, that you will."
Later on, as Yasha in Asura headed back to Asura's home Twilight snuggled in Asura's arms dozing. The two not-so-friendly rivals were talking about the actions in the conference room. "I cannot believe that Emperor Strata would want to create a familial connection with you and your children, Asura. The reason for that disbelief is it makes a kind of sense, considering your unborn daughter is the next in line for priestess." That comment made Asura growl knowing that a priestess would be close to the front lines at all times, along with being used to transfer the mantra of prayers to the generals in battle. "Creating a friendly connection now most definitely strengthens the resolve of the child in the future. I did not think that our emperor would want to follow that path even though as he has said before he tends to act more like a grandfather to all, I did not think he would want to make that connection more personal."
"I still do not like that my unborn child will be the weapon of a war we have fought for so long even as a potential candidate it still makes me mad!" Asura said as the group of three reached his front door. "I only hope that she gets passed over in favor of another child born to another family so I don't feel responsible for protecting her just as I feel responsible for protecting Twilight here."
"Another thing her name, she said that her name was Astraloa why do you call her Twilight?" Yasha asked as they entered Asura's home.
"Astraloa is her second name. Her first is Twilight, the one she told me when I first met her." Asura clarified before the group met up with Durga who was making dinner for herself and the others.
"Asura!" Durga said as she rushed to greet her husband eager to hug him but stopped when he held a hand up and she heard groaning from within his arms. "Honey?" She asked, confused about the sound. "Did you find a stray kitten? Our daughter will love it but we shouldn't bring something new into the house before she is born."
"Daddy, are we home yet?" Twilight asked as she woke up. "I really want to meet Mommy."
This startled Durga who looked to the creature in as soon as arms. Realizing that it was the one who spoke and exactly what it called her husband and in turn herself. "Asura?!" She said accusingly "Did you find this little one on your last mission and decide to take it in without my say in the matter?!"
Durga's tone worried the three, especially Twilight, who was worried that Durga would outright reject her and throw her to the streets after hearing what she had said. But unbeknownst to them, Durga was proud of her husband. Taking in a child that obviously did not have any family around and deciding to bring a little one into their family to help their soon-to-be-born daughter.
"I'm so proud of you!" Durga said as she grabbed the Little pony out of Asura's arms and began cuddling with her. "You knew that we could take care of her considering our situation with children already. Giving our little Mithra a big sister to rely on when she's born is a great boon to us! What is your name, little one?"
This question stopped the emotional whiplash that Twilight had been experiencing from Durga's reaction in its tracks causing her to without thinking say, "Twilight Astraloa mommy!" Revealing that she had already accepted Durga as her new mother.
"Such a cute name for such a cute little girl you'll fit in with us nicely!" Durga squeed right before Twilight's stomach rumbled. "Aw, is my little girl hungry?"
Twilight could only nod in response.
Durga decided to try nursing since she was already leaking milk thanks to the late stage of her pregnancy. "Drink up while I make the boys their meal." She said as she exposed her left nipple, Twilight quickly latching on.
Asura was shocked at his wife's actions but not disturbed, realizing that Twilight was rather small and probably still needed to be nursed every now and again now that he thought about it, plus this would allow Durga to practice before Mithra was born. Both of the male demigods laughed at how cute yet absurd the image they were seeing was before sitting at the table as Durga dished out bowls of stew to both of them along with one for herself with extra vegetables.
"I'm surprised you two have not started fighting considering," Durga commented at her brother and husband being together in the same room.
"To be honest we're kind of shocked at a revelation from Strata, that's what's been keeping us in check for now along with not wanting to disturb Twilight as she was dozing on the way home," Asura admitted. "It seems that our emperor wants to foster a sort of familial relationship with Twilight and Mithra once she's born. Considering the importance of Mithra even though I still dislike it greatly, it is understandable that he wants to make a familiar connection with his possible future priestess."
"Honey, we talked about this. I can no longer be the priestess since I became pregnant with Mithra and keeping the job within the family just makes sense since I was supposedly the strongest priestess in over a millennium back when I held the job." Durga soothed as she ate her food alongside her family.
"I know but that still does not mean I don't like putting our children in danger more than they already will be!" Asura said. "I just hope that someone else has an even stronger child hidden so that our daughter does not have to become a weapon of war."
Before anything else could be said Twilight removed herself from Durga's nipple and burped cutely before yawning tiredly. "It seems this little one is ready to go to bed. I'll place her in our prepared crib for now but once I return we're going to go out and look for better accommodations for both her and our soon-to-be-born Mithra." Durga said before standing up and heading into the child room they had prepared. Placing the little Alicorn in a beautiful golden crib devoid of anything save the mattress she lay on curled up in a ball as she began to sleep.
"Good Night My Little pony, sleep well and when you wake up you'll be happier than you ever were before," Durga said as she left the room.
