The sporadic sound of typing filled Dalia's tired mind, which stirred in her slight sleep. The teen giantess navigated between the vigil and the oneiric world, while all the accumulated fatigue kept her tied to her own tiredness.
"Ummm ..." Typing became more and more continuous, forcing the giantess to open one eye. Even among all the exhaustion, Dalia could recognize both the sofa where she slept and the living room, with her mother Hannah sitting next to her on the floor, typing things on her portable C-comp.
"Have you already woken up, my love?" Hannah stopped typing quickly, turning to her daughter while Dalia rubbed her eyes weakly. "I'm going to get you a glass of milk, you'll have an empty stomach"
Dalia tried to refuse, but her stomach protested strongly with her dry throat, forcing the teen giantess to sit as she could against the back of the sofa. The vast majority of furniture (except Elsa's furniture placed on the center table) in the room were built for Hannah, so Sarah (while growing up) and now Dalia felt like little girls in most rooms.
One of the favorite songs of their mothers sounded softly through the loudspeakers of the living room cinema, and judging by the lights that came through the window, it should be almost dusk. Hannah returned at 5 minutes, with a small cup of hot milk with chocolate and a few cookies for her daughter.
"Eat slowly, my love ... dont overdo it"
Dalia under her head while Hannah left the tray with the food next to her, only able to think because her mother was not scolding her once instead of taking care of her so much...
"You'rent going to scold me? I'm sure I deserve it..." Dalia said as she nibbled one of her mother's homemade cookies, tasting how once again Hannah had exceeded using chocolate.
"Scold? Of course not! I'm angry? Pretty... but I cant blame you for trying to fight fatigue... or Hades" Hannah sat back on the floor, gently stroking her daughter's hair while she was wet the cookies in the milk.
Dalia didnt say anything, drowning in her own frustration, cookie to cookie. The teen giantess just kept on eating, chewing unconsciously to the rhythm of the music while little by little the tears broke through her face.
Hannah approached Dalia little by little, hugging her carefully so as not to interrupt her daughter's snack.
Mother and daughter remained silent, freeing themselves from all the bad spirits. (Logically not literal, since Hades still existed)
Elsa was the first to return home, while Sarah continued her classes at the university. The blonde came talking as she used to, but as soon as she approached the living room and saw the scene, she decided to stop talking about her day at the town hall, entering quietly to her bedroom to change clothes.
Sharing life with someone who is 53 feet taller than you is not easy, but Elsa was accustomed and in love to do so... except for the theme of closets and drawers.
Hannah insisted that Elsa had her own separate bedroom, one of human size just for her; and although Elsa didnt intend to sleep away from her wife or have a separate room as if Hannah were dangerous, she did enjoy having her own cabinets on the wall and not in the drawers of Hannah's closet as Flynn had them.
What was the architect's solution? Build on the bedside table, on her side of the bed, a mini-closet with its built-in wardrobes, its drawers and its own dresser and dressing room.
(The difference in size between Hannah and Elsa, although it is a lot, is not enough to be able to put so much furniture on a night table.
Solution: A much larger bedside table, since Elsa didnt need a bedside table narrow to get up)
And while she was changing, the blonde could not stop thinking about that morning, about to call GUN for the disappearance of Dalia, when Sarah had confessed the plan of the youngest daughter. And right there she was, sleeping on the roof without being able to move.
Dalia had been a restless, laughing child since she was a child, running (or crawling) everywhere from the moment she learned to walk / crawl. But this? risk so much being under post-hades fatigue? As much as Elsa hated him, it was not a behavior that as mothers should allow.
"Remenber U... eh?" Elsa closed her eyes, quietly listening to the song Hannah had in the dining room while she dressed in her comfortable home clothes. As much mayor as she was, Elsa enjoyed as anyone else to dress in a cloth tracksuit at the time of being with his family quietly.
"Nice song, very retro" Flynn appeared on the giant double bed, crossed legs while looking at Elsa's dressing room. "I come to see how my granddaughter is, but I've seen the scene from outside and I do not think I should interrupt"
"You do well, but today I can only give you a little information because I just came from work ..." Elsa came out of the dressing room yawning and scratching her belly. ("belly", because the pack of abs was not taken away by anyone)
After a long day of work making decisions about the upcoming parties in Nueva Bahia, the blonde had no desire to maintain her aura of dignity and less in front of her family.
"I checked what you asked me, and according to the old pirate, Dalia went to him to find out about the origin of an evil that lives inside her... my granddaughter is fucking smart!" Flynn smiled as Elsa gathered her hair in the boudoir.
The blonde sighed, cursing how smart her little daughter was, and smiling at how smart she was. Strange? You can, but being a mother / father is always strange. "We're going to have to talk to her... I'm very afraid"
"You're afraid? Dont make me laugh Elsa, nobody can believe that..." Flynn got up, walking on the bed until he could jump to the bedside table. "Look on the bright side, this may be the opportunity to end our sins. Dalia now knows about Hades, and that means maybe, using cronomancy- "
"I'm not going to use cronomancy, Flynn!" Elsa swiftly swiveled toward Flynn, threatening him with the comb she was using. "Chronomancy serves to learn from the past, but ... you also saw it, what happens when you use chronomancy to alter the past... I will not let more people suffer because of the magic of the Alitian gods, and although I allow chronologists to have their headquarters in Bahia, the conditions are clear-"
"I've got it, I get it, I have to admit that Alitian magic is extremely dangerous ... but more dangerous is the magic of Eldritch and Hades is a creature created by it... it's your daughter, Elsa, but sometimes..."
"We have to make decisions..." Elsa and Flynn said at once, both living before their eyes on the day of the Master's fall. One of the worst things about being adapted humans was the perfect memory, because although Hannah had forgotten part of that fateful day ... Elsa was simply incapable.
"I'll let you enjoy the rest of the day with your family, Elsa ... but I hope you make a decision, whatever it may be.
Calia doesnt stay still when she knows that her granddaughter knows about Hades... and like Calia, all the others... Juddit asked us to take care of our granddaughters with our own life, and her words have penetrated deep into all of us"
Elsa sighed as she got up from the dresser, giving Flynn time to disappear dramatically. The blonde had been making decisions all her life, and for an endless being like her, she was very afraid that she would have to keep making decisions all eternity.
Back in the living room, when Elsa came in, Hannah was still hugging Dalia, only this time the teen giantess was sitting on her mother's legs. Elsa leapt onto the couch, climbing onto Hannah's other leg without bothering to say a word.
The bond between both wives was so great that without saying anything they understood what the other wanted to say. "Dalia... have you rested well? If you really wanted to call Ogden, you simply had to ask me for his phone number... we have never denied anything to you, always within the logic, so this behavior ... I cant understand it"
Dalia came out of her mother's embrace, looking at her other mother out of the corner of her eye. The teenage giantess's tears were already dry, but her eyes were still red. "There's nothing to understand... I've tried to make the hero who defeated the inner evil with his own strength... and I've failed miserably... I'm so sorry, moms..."
Dalia cried again, while Elsa jumped from one thigh of Hannah to the other and approached her daughter to comfort her. Hannah continued to stroke Dalia's back gently, trying to make her feel protected.
Elsa and Hannah looked at each other for a second, both knowing what they had to do."My daughter, we have ... to go somewhere" Elsa jumped to the ground, teleporting herself to look for the keys of the car while Hannah carried Dalia in her arms, fearing that the teen giantess wasnt sufficiently rested to walk.
When the humans arrived at Novaterrae, the Iloa had only developed for some reason the crystalline technology to create two-wheeled vehicles.
Joining the land vehicles (which logically reached the moment where the non-electric stopped working, as there was no oil as such in Novaterrae) and crystalline technology Iloan, different brands of vehicles brought the new generation of cars.
These were completely clean and tens of times more efficient than the Tesla, because the crystals were surprisingly cheap to manufacture, load and replace.
Like cars, many electronic devices evolved into Iloas versions, pleasing both the humans they saw and their inventions were much more effective, such as the Iloa, who marveled at the comforts these devices brought to their lives.
After sitting Dalia in the back seats, Hannah climbed into the driver's seat and started the car. "Have you warned Sarah, Elsa?"
"Of course, who are you taking me for? Sarah says that she will have dinner with Calia and Flynn and then she will come home, and I have already warned that tomorrow I will surely arrive later"
"So far are we going?" Hannah and Elsa looked at each other, until Elsa lost the battle again.
"About 4 hours on the road... so get comfortable and relax, my love, we'll get food to go"
