Confronted with Ceraunius' straightforwardness, Astraea put on a small smile, barely managing to keep her cheek from giving away her emotion. Her first ever son, and he was already such a powerhouse. She was about to pull out a dagger when…
"Wait, Lady Astraea, Zeus, and Hera worked on a small gift for you. Their way of entrusting you with us." Gamelia said, ruffling through the frills in her dress, only to pull out a small dagger, clearly made for ceremonies, and ornamentation. "Hera made the scabbard, Zeus made the dagger."
Astraea took the dagger with a flat expression. "Those two really thought of everything, didn't they?" She pouted.
"I wouldn't go that far, Lady Astraea. I may not have been old enough, at the time, to truly understand all of Empress' actions. Though, if she had known they would have been wiped out, I don't think they would have charged in blindly. She was never that kind of person, at least that's how I saw her." Ceraunius smiled.
"I have a similar view of Maxim, though he might still have wanted to give it a shot, even if only to get one good whack in." Gamelia smirked, giggling.
"What did those two think? Alfia, and Zald?" Astraea asked, curiously.
"They thought that it's impossible to defeat that monster. The black dragon." Gamelia answered.
"We know why now… It's nothing close to what the stories say it is. That thing is strong. But, when Gamelia and I reach level 10, it should be possible. Maybe. It would be nice to have some helping hands though." Ceraunius said, while staring at his open hand, only for it to ball into a fist. "I will make sure that detestable monster feels the unrestrained might of the sky." His eyes sparked for a moment before Gamelia took action and cozied up to him. "Huh, thank you."
"It's alright, now let's get our first update as members of Astraea familia." Gamelia smirked, once more undoing her top, then covered her breasts with a single arm.
"Woah, you've both got amazing bodies!" Tione said, forgetting that she probably shouldn't.
"Why thank you. It really was quite a lot of effort to pull this kind of body off. My husband's culinary expertise was quite helpful though."
"Come on you two, show Lady Astraea your backs, and the four of us will join this familia together." Ceraunius said with a small smile, then turned to show his back to Astraea, and with his wife doing the same, he knelt down to make it easier for her.
Bell and Zaria copied Ceraunius and Gamelia, practically to the t. Though they added a childish giddiness to the moment. This was their first ever falna, they couldn't help but be excited.

After finishing the four updates, Astraea was completely overwhelmed after seeing so many of the cute antics the twins had, which were only further compounded by the cuteness of Ceraunius and Gamelia when they were younger. After handing their new status sheets to them she took a seat on the slightly raised couch.
"All four of you are simply amazing. Bell and Zaria both have a skill upon getting a status." Astraea spoke with a soft giggle. "No magic thankfully. I might have passed out if I saw them get magic right away."
"Hehehe, I'm sure they'll have some magic soon. When we arrived at their old home, we gave them a magic show. I'm certain that showing something as simple as a dance could summon rain in a drought… Well, that's magic."
"That's right it was amazing!" Zaria said, beaming. "The clouds formed, twisted and moved like they were big brother and big sister, dancing in the sky. It was beautiful!"
"That's right, it was cool! Lightning arced, dove and rose like it was drawing a picture book!"
""And then the rain came!""
"Pfft, seems like it was quite the show." Astraea smiled. "Come here for a moment."
Bell and Zaria covered themselves up again, just like Ceraunius and Gamelia were doing. Then they ran over and jumped up to snuggle up to Astraea. Alise felt a slight pull on her heart, a slight jealousy, but she wouldn't admit it. Though, hiding it from the two level 8s in their now much larger familia would be impossible.
"Don't worry Alise, I've got an idea." Ceraunius said with a grin.
"Huh? What?"
"Lady Astraea, with your familia having grown larger now. It seems some are little pouty seeing you all snuggled up in the cuteness." He started. "Perhaps we could set up a time for everyone to get a chance to cuddle up to you. I, of course, will not participate for the sake of keeping allegations at bay." He explained.
Astraea's eyes shined as if she'd just been shown the light. "You mean I get time to smoother all of my cuties! I'm in, let's do it! But, you're going to do it too, no objections will be heard. But you may join him Gamelia."
"Pfft, alright, that's fine." Gamelia giggled, seeing how Ceraunius let out a bashful sigh. "Would it be alright for us to leave Bell and Zaria in your care for now. There's something the two of us have wanted to do since we were officially married."
"Oh, what's that?" Tiona asked, interested.
"Having a baby of our very own. I have constantly been spending money to keep a full stock of fresh items to help out with it. I'd very much like to use them."
"A baby?!"
"Yes." Ceraunius nodded, then he noticed Ardee squirming like she wanted to ask something. "Ardee, you seem like you want to ask something."
"Well, uhm, yes. Did you bring the books? The ones of the heroes from your old familia, written by Lady Hera?"
Ceraunius smirked, opened his sash and out came several stacks of books Each with a name embossed on the bindings. Each book was the story of all the heroes who fought, and fell against the 3 great quests. Then another stack of books on magic theory, combat theory, tactics, and the falna… All tools that would help one to achieve the most out of the falna.
"Feel free to read them as you please." Ceraunius smiled. "Now, which room is ours?" He asked, once the answer was given the two level 8s disappeared and the sound of a door shutting, with some creaking and moaning came from down the hall.
