It had been two years since Dorothea had to decided to leave Mes in search of Vatar. In that small amount of time that had passed, Thea couldn't remember when she had ever felt so cared for. It was at times a bit overwhelming for her but she was working through it. She walked through the door of her the home she shared with her new found dad, and kicked her shoes off and left her backpack by the couch. Thea being Thea, went straight for the fridge before even looking around to see if her parents were home. She took the cartoon of orange juice out the fridge and quickly looked around before opening the container and drinking straight from the source. It always tasted best directly from the carton.

Thea hadn't really been home in between the time she got out of school and her curfew. Between the Divine Rights Tournament and being a general teenager, she was busy. Finally feeling a general living person she started wondering what Vatar was up to. She hadn't annoyed him a awhile, and she wanted to brag about her new found Regalia. "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD you home?"

"Shhhh Thea is home." His fiance's whispers were more than necessary as it didn't take him long to realize his wayward daughter had returned from school. Vatar was semi-decent, it was his home so he wore a tank top around the house and gym shorts to match. It was weird being out of school now. Where he would usually have his "Fun times with Illiya" down to a science when it came to windows of opportunities, this newfound freedom was screwing up his schedule all around.

"Well, it isn't the police escorting her home so I can chalk up another day of good behavior."

"Don't talk like that and she is a child Vatar." Illiya snapped at him, as motherly as ever.

"Yeah Yeah, I'm going to go see what she wants. You......be decent." He scratched the back of his gold hair and walked out from his.....their...bedroom so that he would be in eyesight of the menace, being sure to close the door. Illiya could be heard opening the dresser drawer pressed against the wall in the room.

It was strange being a dad, especially when he got to miss so much of her life. At least then he could've groomed her more though he had to admit that with his newfound memories there was a semblance of pride in what his genestock had produced. Thea was a good kid overall he just liked giving her crap because it was an avenue of bonding.

"Why are stretching out Dad? And what do you need? I swear if its money I am taking you down to the nearest fast food place and tossing a broom at you." He would walk over to her and pat her on the head, a small corner of his mouth failing to fight a smile. He could see why people had kids they were like living trophies...sorta

His eyes scanned over the open carton of orange juice and he quickly lost that smile.

Damn kids.

Thea didn’t even pretend to be remorseful as she closed the fridge and continued with her beverage consuming. Therewas nothing wrong with drinking from the carton if you were gonna finish it...or not finish it. Still she was getting distracted from her purpose in life.

“I wanted to tell you about this tournament thing I entered. Also because im super excited.” School was something that Thea begrudgingly went to because she knew it was important. She understood to have freedok in life yo had to be educated. She just wished she hadn’t soent so much of her younger years training. Perhaps that’s why she was so restless.

“And freshman year is going to suck, And I think you should let me wear mini skirts. I saw this really cute plaid one that this girl was wearing. I wouldn’t have picked the color shirt she was wesring persnally...but the skirt was nice.” She paused from her rant suddently and blinked up at Vatar and waited for his answer. She already knew he was be against any sort of mini clothing but she had to try.

Vatar was ready to smush the girls face together when she finally stopped talking. It wasn't that he didn't like the content more that he just needed her to calm down and not go on for another six years. His head would've started with simple nods, listening to this tournament stuff. He had no clue what that was but imagined the school was hosting another event the students . When Thea would break into short skirt territory he simply stands still, unamused at the idea as he was sure she would know.

"Okay Okay Okay, one thing at a time. Short skirts, my answer will always be no but your mother wants me to compromise so.......you can wear it as long as your legs aren't showing, AND! before you get smart with me I mean I don't want skin showing not for you to literally make your legs invisible."

He rubbed his head " And what is this tournament thing? Sports? Combat? I'll root you on so long as your life isn't at risk. Though I fully expect you to take it seriously if you are this excited about it."

Thea thought about the compromise very carefully trying to find some sort of loophole in the whole thing. Since she was positive that she could find some nude leggings and get the same result, however it did open up a bunch of avenues for her wardrobe.

"I accept your terms and conditions and when we reach the summer months again, i will be back to negotiate crop tops." She was slowly trying to get him used to the stuff she wanted to wear but she knew that a lot of it was way to mature for a fourteen year old. She had to try and compromise but it was hard when she wanted something.

"Oh okay, So basically I made a pact, and I find these people who have abilities and pact with them and then we bond and I get their abilities. I have to impress them first, so i have one that allows me to build shrines and small buildings, and then one to heal, and then one to optimize health. I think Im gonna trade the heal one though because my sword sorta does that. Im still trying to bond with the shrine maiden one. I named him Timothy, well im sure he has a name but he hasn't told me so it's Timothy and he answers to it. So basically im going to get more powerful because Im amazing. Also the Regalia vary in age, personality, look, and like species appearance."

She took a deep breath at the end of her rant like explanation and waited for her dad's reaction. She technically wasn't in danger but she didn't fully understand why these people were offering her new powers and abilities. All she knew was that she wanted to be as powerful as she possibly could. She had to be strong like her father.

He blinked a few times

"O-Okay.....so this sounds...weird. Why exactly are you doing this and I don't know if I find the idea of you 'bonding' with people you don't know safe or pleasing. Why couldn't you have just said 'I joined the Basketball team dad'."

He sighed

"Okay....so these peoples give you power FOR NO REASON and they want you to catch them and impress them......I swear this is Pok-...no at least they're animals. I have a better question who told you about this and how old are these people usually? I don't want you getting kidnapped or some shit because of this all sound sketchy."


"Vatar calm down please." Illiya came out the room adjusting her pajama pants and shirt. " Always being a busybody about her doing stuff."

"It is random strangers hanging out with our kid...If there is a time to be busy it's now." He watched as she walked past him and place the Orange juice back in the fridge.

" Well then maybe you should trust her to kick their butts if they try anything. You make her do all that training." Illya was instinctually moving around the kitchen getting ready to prepare dinner. "And you young lady need to be careful about these people okay? If I need to come down there and tear someone in half I will." The way Illiya spoke unironically was both sexy and strange to Vatar. He was sure all the time on this island had made him a deviant but instead, he had been this way all along.

"My point is If any of them hurt you then I'm going to kick their ass." He looked down at Thea unamused.

Thea nodded and the shrugged “There was fliers on the community board and like rumors and instructions. A bunch of people were doing it, so I said why not. Also Dalia is doing it too, and a bunch of other kids my age.” She listened to her mom talk and she had to admit that she didn’t exactly do her research.

“Yeah I’ll be carefully, I guess it is kinda of weird considering a lot of them are grown up looking. I mean I've seen some elderly ones they were just already pacted. She looked at both of them and then around the house.

“So what have you guys been up to today.” She gave her parents an innocent look before smirking “And how close am I to getting a little Thea to train in the ways of awesome.”

"Little Thea? That will not be a thing. The last thing I need is another one of you running around. Plus I don't have experience using a small child so I'm going to work doubly hard to make sure that you and they are nothing alike...Little Thea's...ugh"

Vatar cringed at the thought of handling more teenage girls and was really hoping he would get a few boys in the mix. Someone who could properly carry the Tor name if they decided to marry. Then again Thea didn't seem like the sort for marriage or changing her name if she did.

Then it occurred to him.

"Wait why the hell are you even worried about that? Focus on school and this.....tournament thing. Since you seem so convinced to join it I'll give you one condition, win. As long as you are winning and not getting into trouble than its fine with me."

Illiya was reaching for an assortment of ingredients from the cabinet and fridge. "When there is a Little Thea on the way you'll be the first to know. Also, remember that if you ever want to discuss sex education you should tell us because the last thing we want coming from you right now is a Litle Thea"

Vatar groaned. Why couldn't living with two women be easier? He had made one but now she was all outta whack, not that he didn't love it but it came with some negatives that were no longer under his control. The other one was some unforeseen circumstance that he still didn't know the origin for and probably never would at this point. All he knew was hat this kid was his and he suddenly had to a be a "parent" for the rest of his life.

"If you two start the whole sex conversation I am going to toss you outside." He moved to turn the Tv on as he spoke and turned to whatever news channel he could find.

Thea tried to keep a straight face, really she did but uh, she cracked. The laughter that followed took her breath away and she held onto the counter to try and stay upright. She perked up about the tournament thing though, it was hard to get her father to approve of anything really, he was just so cynical at least from Thea's perspective.

"Sounds fair to me but, I want a little sibling so I can teach them the best way to annoy you." She said snickering and pouting at the same time. For awhile she was sorta worried what would happen if her new parents had another kid. She had thought they would turn on her like her previous ones, but she trusted them now. She was sooo ready to be a big sister.

She paled when her mom turned the sex conversation on to her. "Uh Ma.... hate to break this to you but, The possibility of you getting undated grandchildren from me ever.... are very very slim. Also Uh.... I haven't seen any body that are remotely attractive or maybe it's because I'm not looking. Actually now that I think about it I've never really checked anybody out." Her sentenced trailed off a the end as she started to think about the people she's interacted with so far.

"Eh, if I ever get curious Ill let you know. Pfft, dad you don't wanna give me the sex talk." She snickered, waiting for the inevitable negative answer.
