"And I'll attempt to summon Malik to one of my temples for all that'll do? If he doesn't.. smiting him will be the next best thing!"

"Your birthday still lasts for a week, maybe two unless traditions have changed? So think of it all as your birthday presents! Oh, and I know how much you really want to see your mommy so we'll talk later?"

Celes adorably yawned further causing the young prince to then tearily smile before then nodding.

"Celes is the best.. I missed Celes so much! Celes is the best Celestial Goddess! I-I love you s-so much! An-And Aurel will be the best Holy Emperor for Celes! And Holy Consort?"

The young prince tearily proclaimed causing Celes to then playfully nod with an adorably proud expression having in truth felt like taking a nap and simply tried her best not to.

Coupled with that of drinking quite a bit resulting in her trying her best to act normal or perhaps not to act up?

She rarely visited his dreamworld and she missed that especially cozy couch so in simpler terms she came to both update her precious holy consort and take a nap.

Because, priorities! Causing both the young prince, Stella, and even Ayla to then adorably nod before then finally waking up while Octavia wanted to brag to Lady Fluffle!

Resulting in one may expect, while Stella was still cuddling and tearily woke up Aldra the young prince immediately felt the backlash from the balance.

Resulting in him tearily getting off the bed and vomiting blood into the trusty golden bucket, and ultimately waking everyone in the process since he wasn't able to make it to the bathroom.

And could barely get off the bed at the moment let alone hold the vomit in for more than seven seconds surprising everyone and causing the young prince to then immediately vomit blood once more! It was far worse than he had ever felt!

Be it the freezing chills down his spine and around all his body to the immediate shaking and weakness as if he could barely hold onto the bucket while his mana boiled and stung him!

That wasn't all he could barely breathe much like how he did when he had landed on his back after the ambush but even worse to the point it felt like his lungs much like his mana boiled and stung while his eyes felt as heavy as a mountain!

Something definitely wasn't right! Causing Aldra to then immediately rush to the young prince followed by Kethryllia while both Ayla and Stella watched in horror!

The young prince couldn't even sense or see anyone let alone his mommy he wanted to see for so long!

And after he was finished vomiting blood to the point the bucket was completely filled to the brim he had soon fallen into Aldra's arms where the pain had not only gotten worse but doubled while even his bloodlines went into shock!

Resulting in him switching to Celestial, Elf, Dark Elf, and both Ancestral forms repeatedly as if unable to catch up and lost complete control!

While the bloodlines themselves and perhaps their aspects attempt to take control in an attempt to prevent any more shock.

Causing Aldra to then immediately send a mental message to both Marjorie and Bradley having not wanted to disturb the others while even Kaylan was forced to appear.

And intervene while Katie and Alfy tried their best inside of the young prince.

"No matter his progress within a timeless space nothing warrants such an extreme reaction! The reaction alone should have resulted in him vomiting and perhaps a short coma but this?"

"Not even Lady Selphine would've suspected such a reaction; there must be something more to it?"

Kaylan helplessly warned causing Kethryllia to then gently shake her head.

"Mana Overload, Overactive Mana, Mana Exhaustion, Mana Decay. Mana Depletion, and a handful of other ailments and so suddenly no less? I'd imagine such a combination is simply impossible in any sense of the word?"

"To be inflicted with so many that ordinarily wouldn't appear where the other is present is truly unheard of in any real circumstances"

Kethryllia gently examined, causing Kaylan to then immediately nod in agreement while Aldra gently reassured while both transferring her mana to offset such fluctuations essentially stabilizing it.

And even dual spell casting be it healing magic to that of priestess spells used to numb the injured all the while humming his favorite hum when he was only but a baby while even sending mental messages back and forth?!

Aldra was definitely that of a perfect mother and mage! To be able to multitask such incredibly difficult things all at once and so perfectly no less truly showed how incredible she truly was!

Along with the fact that she truly was The Former Crown Princess of The Elves and The Queen of The Celestial Elves! The expectations alone to become either was truly astonishing and she did so easily!

However, despite appearances, she was still a mother, and the overwhelming pain she felt quite literally radiated the room to the point everyone felt feedback from it.

It was especially worse for her since she was trying to stabilize and reassure her baby!

However no matter how hard she tried the young prince could only feel slight relief as if something outside of himself wanted him to feel such things.

And at this point, he simply couldn't think about it, until finally both Bradley and Marjorie had finally arrived!

Resulting in Marjorie immediately rushing to Aldra's side and following her lead to the point she even allowed him to both hold and squeeze her tail since he was her baby too!

While Bradley worriedly felt something was off before then sending a mental message to Silas.

Who had soon followed surprising even him at the sight before then feeling the young prince and freezing causing him to then helplessly shake his head.

"The Balance, Lady 'Fate', and oh even Lady Liphine? To think those three worked together? No matter! They should-"

Silas playfully estimated before then being cut off by being smited not once, not twice, but three times!

Of course, the smites themselves neither damaged the room nor only attacked him but still! Surprising everyone and causing Silas to then playfully pout.

Before then receiving an apology from Lady Liphine having been paid to help and to smite him along with the fact that she discovered The First Prince of The Elves had assisted in the experimentation of her Blight?

However, that was simply an excuse since she had no ill feelings and didn't blame him for his involvement being a child in all.

But with that being said she was 'still' paid to worsen his state but wasn't allowed to say by who because she was 'also' paid not to say..

Meaning she knew of the young prince and ordinarily wouldn't risk angering so many gods or harming a child as in she wouldn't kill him, have him killed, help him to be killed, and instead only assist in overloading the balance as she was paid to?

Albeit moments later she was soon cut off by a very angry Aurora yelling at her.

Resulting in her asking Silas to apologize to him in her place!

And by also doing so by lessening it by an hour and a half meaning he only had to suffer an hour and a half which in itself was a loophole in the deal and since she wasn't paid for the whole three hours...

Causing Silas to then helplessly sigh, thankfully Lady Liphine wasn't in fact an 'Evil' Goddess despite her reputation.

She chooses which deals to accept or reject, with that aside blessing of youths, temporary curses, and many more temporary and innocent things were still available!

In truth, she wanted to have an ad campaign but she simply didn't want to spend money on it?

Heck, even Silas had a good relationship with her and visited her from time to time causing him after tossing his thoughts away to then playfully shake his head once more.

"Lady Liphine is truly precious! Now our precious Aurel needs only wait for an hour and an hour instead of three! Perhaps Lady Aurora could bribe Liphine to take off another thirty minutes? Anything more the balance would react?"

"Thinking of which Selphie must have taken him through her survival course? I highly doubt she'd implement such a sealing if she'd expected this would've occurred. In any case, I'm so proud of you Aurel you need only stay strong!"

"Oh, and it seems Aurora did manage to bribe her! So only an hour left to go! Most of the real pain will disappear within thirty minutes time when it finally stabilizes, lessens those pains, and even perhaps removes the added illnesses as reparations. If not, big brother Silas will!"

Silas reassuringly promised all the while Noel had finally returned from the bathroom before then immediately being confronted by a sight.

Resulting in her immediately rushing to the young prince while Kethryllia distracted both Stella and Ayla.

Soon enough however the young prince was teleported to the infirmary with Aldra, Bradley, Marjorie, and Noel by Silas while Kethryllia had decided to remain behind with both Ayla and Stella.

With the assistance of a now Elf Mera who had already been gifted the bloodline by Selphie albeit instead of Kethyrllia's it was Emilia's. Perhaps it was a spontaneous thing?

In any case, Mera spoke to both Kethyllia and Emilia quite a bit resulting in her being an ideal influence for the young prince and the children along with being a surprisingly close individual due to her personality being quite similar to that of Aldra's if not a bit more aged?

Despite appearances Aldra was quite young and couldn't compare to that of a Lightning Matriarch who had lived for over a millennium, became a scholar and alchemist simply by watching above the clouds, and spying on ancient royals for entertainment.

Resulting in Mera getting along with and earning the trust of Kethyllia, and Emilia fairly quickly along with everyone else for that matter resulting in Kethyllia sending her a mental message for some company.

And perhaps even to speak more about these matters since chances are she knew more?

All the while back with the young prince Holly had finally arrived to the infirmary accompanied by both Laurel and Selphie surprising everyone causing Selphie to then adorably shake her head.

"This is Laurel! She's Aurel but a girl? She is or rather she was a part of my celestial teddy bear as a Bloodline Aspect of an unstable bloodline and I didn't want her to die so Aurel has a twin now!"

"I-I'd imagine the only differences are Laurel is a girl and has only a slightly different personality while retaining my celestial teddy bear's memories?"

Selphie adorably explained with an adorably helpless expression surprising everyone even more and causing Laurel to then adorably look to everyone.

Before then hesitantly hiding behind Selphie having realized her previous confidence was a ruse!

The timing, whatever was happening to her twin, everything! She wasn't even needed and yet she came along without a plan and just felt the urge to hug her mommy but what if she didn't accept her?!

In truth she was more like the young prince than she wanted to believe resulting in her acting like the young prince would have before the celestial debut!

Causing Holly to then take over for Aldra while Aldra having been overwhelmed if not a little blindsided to then lovingly smile before then waving Laurel over causing her to then shyly shake her head.

Causing Silas to then playfully sigh before then playfully poking her cheek.

"Laurel is truly precious.. I believe your hesitation comes from you still believing you're still merely a Bloodline 'Aspect', your memories, and your blood makes you his twin in all regards despite your unique birth!"

"Sister Aldra and Brother Bradley are your mommy and daddy and that's simply a fact! Thinking of which I believe Aldra had hoped for twins and telling by your name something she had previously chosen so long ago in the case she 'had' twins I believe this is merely Lady Fate doing something good for once?"

Silas playfully reminded causing Laurel to then adorably pout before then elbowing him in the gut much like Amber had suggested a handful of times!

Causing Silas to then playfully pout himself and Laurel to then adorably race to both Aldra and Bradley.

"Silas is the biggest bully.. un-unlike Aurel I'll elbow bullies like big sister Amber!"

Laurel tearily mumbled causing both Selphie and Noel to then adorably smile while Noel returned her focus on the young prince while the young prince was now much more gentle with Marjorie's tail even while unconscious.
