Scaring him to no end for several moments as if reliving the worst pains imaginable before then suddenly.. it was quickly suppressed once more and he wondered why he was so scared of big sister's mask?

Ultimately ignoring the painful feelings and refusing to discover why.

Causing him to then adorably looking for the matching mask she had made based off of his current outfit Malik had made him?

Soon enough he found it? It looked quite similar to that of Maema's but instead it only have seven crimson eyes and had similar patterns and color scheme of his outfit.

Before then adorably taking it out and placing it on the table surprising Maema and causing Asher to then adorably play with it.

"Bi-Big sister Aumara gave Asher gifts.. bu-but Asher didn't know until now? Shou-Should Asher wear it with Maema?"

Asher shyly asked causing Maema having realized her mother had anticipated the current circumstances, to then strangely smile.

"Do so at your own risk, if you wish to remain my mother's precious toy then who am I to stop you?"

Maema surprisingly teased immediately reminding him of big sister Aumara, if she wasn't younger and her voice wasn't slightly off then he would've thought it was big sister Aumara.

Causing him to then adorably shake off the immense chills he had felt and adorably put in on since he didn't want Maema to be lonely.

After putting it on, the mage fit had soon activated and shrunk slightly to perfectly encase the top portion of his face leaving only his mouth, surprisingly enough it was super cozy!

So much so that after several moments it felt like nothing was there. Aside from him seeing so much better!

Of course, there were several features but he simply didn't know how to use them causing Maema to then strangely nod before then sending him a mental message.

"These masks are very much useful, night vision, thermal vision, pinpoint accuracy, and they're also quite resilient and light despite being made of so many precious metals"

"I'll teach my precious toy-playmate more whenever I feel bored or if you ever manage to obtain minimal requirement of intelligence to do it for yourself?"

Maema ominously teased, unfortunately for her due to who her mother was and her never having any other example of behavior aside from only her mother's.

Even if she wasn't extremely ominous or teasing Asher she'd still sound as if she was doing so.

It was as if her genetics had determined that both her and her voice would permanently remain ominous. Perhaps it was a curse?

In any case, Asher after hearing this excitedly nodded not truly recognizing what ominous was, and simply believed it to be the norm due to him remaining in the same environment for two years without any more of a break from it.

And soon enough he was diving into one of Malik's Books involving artisanship. He could read it, retain it, and know all the words and what to do, however, with his current knowledge that was practically useless until much later.

All the while he was reading he curiously remembered a spell big sister Aumara told him about, and within several moments he had soon conjured up an ominous blood-red flame that radiated immense bloodlust.

Surprising Maema to no end and causing her to then strangely smile before then simply erecting an invisible barrier surrounding both.

"It seems my precious little playmate remembered mother's teachings?! How interesting! To be able to use spirit magic exclusive to my and my mother's lineage so easily is truly baffling!"

"Excitingly so! No wonder why mother called you her favorite toy"

Maema surprisingly teased before then ultimately suggesting for Asher to show everything else he knew elsewhere after the library giving Asher even more chills he had naturally ignored.

While still very much suppressing even further other elements, causing him to then excitedly nod no matter how painful it felt.

Soon enough he had learned more of Maema, and how similar she truly was with her mother.

Albeit she didn't experiment or have the same hobbies as her mother did, to put it simply she was utterly repulsed by her experiments even if they served some sort of purpose she hadn't ever been told of.

Surprisingly enough despite Lady Aumara's hobbies, experiments, and habit of slaughter, she was surprisingly a good mother and had taught Maema everything a mother should.

Albeit in her own perverse viewpoint while remaining surprisingly not so perverse and more of a mother while spending time with her daughter?

Maema was even a Fledgling Artisan simply by watching her mother, she could even collect spirits and even blight spirits.

And much like elementals, you could simply revive them if they've been previously contained in a spirit crystal, while as there were also blood spirits, banshees, and golems.

What was even more interesting was the fact that The Bloodlust Linage was in fact a naturally occurring greater race.

And an absolute menace! The Majority had to be forcefully sealed to contain them, even the blight and The Void refused to deal with them funnily enough since even they had standards and lines they wouldn't cross.

Albeit not all did but enough to condone such perverted acts of experimentation.

Heck even The Queen of Senex never wished to even absorb their bloodline and that was saying something! They even made the most chaotic Abyssal Dragons like Lili look utterly mundane!

What's more, it seems Malik-Malous or whatever his real name was had worked with her mother on a project involving Blight Spirits.

Maema's speculation being she must have hidden a bloodline aspect of bloodlust inside of Asher to give him such abilities and to have access to the exclusivity of what it meant to be of The Lineage of Bloodlust to assume as much.

Surprising Asher to new heights! Having absorbed it all but still had no idea what 'any' or all of it meant! Which was indeed quite comical, not to Maema however! Having originally thought it must've been a fluke!

"What am I to do with my precious little playmate? From what Overlord Felly spoke described, the next three years be enough to ensure you'll never again be someone's favorite toy? Fortunately, we're each, each other's precious 'playmates', but three years?!"

"I'll ensure my precious playmate can speak proper common and learn the magic my mother had gifted you! Since she ran off for some nonsensical master plan of hers, then the responsibility falls upon your 'favorite' new playmate"

Maema scarily added causing Asher to then excitedly nod having felt happy Maema was so excited!

Soon enough after an hour had passed and Sabine had finally arrived having apparently changed his plans.

Confusing him to why Asher was now wearing that creepy mask. Did this demon convert him or something?

Causing Asher to then adorably remove the mask for his new brother! Causing Sabine to then examine him top and bottom before then feeling his forehead.

"Thank the holy spirit, you're ok! You've worried me you know? Lady Celestine had updated me before we found you, thankfully you got much-needed rest during those three weeks, to think an Ancestral Royal not born of The Ancestral World would be in such a place?"

"I'm Sabine Norma Avery Vale, and I'm an Ancestral Prince by the way. I was born of The Ancestral World and finally managed to explore The Old World, at least that was the case up until I sensed you. Seriously, how did you manage that!"

"Did you fall for that Celestial Queen of The Abyss Nonsense and go through that teleportation portal as well?! Had I paid attention I wouldn't have embarrassed myself by asking a literal Abyssal Overlord for directions"

Sabine adorably rambled surprising Asher causing him to then adorably think for a moment before then happily nodding.

"Ash-Asher's mommy is Celestial Queen of.. First Layer of Abyss? Mommy sent Asher to become a disciple of big sister"

"Bi-Big sister Celestine told Asher that mommy's circle was sabo-sabotage-sabotaged! Bi-Big brother Malik-Malous played with Asher bu-but.. he left Asher? Asher doesn't want to remember.."

Asher adorably hesitated having found the glimpse of a trigger but managed to spot himself, surprising Sabine and causing him to then worriedly nod having put two and two together.

Did his mommy do it on purpose? Was she truly this complacent?! Did she even check on him throughout this entire time?

Did she even bother to verify the destination of The Teleportation Circle?! The fact that she was a Celestial Queen of any kind was an insult!

Not to mention she sent him to the same place as well! That woman isn't a mommy! She's an idiot! And he's definitely going to hold a grudge!

Even if he was also a child there was a difference! Ancestral Royal Children Mature as fast as possible, essentially making their childhood secondary to the survival of their race, and that hasn't changed!

Of course, he was still very much a child but a very smart and mature one when needed!

And to him this was simply outrageous! Causing Asher to then adorably giggle while Maema nodded in agreement having thought the situation was in fact comical until finally Sabine simply gave up.

"I've decided! As an Ancestral Prince, it's my duty to guide you and teach you of our people! Not to mention how could I leave my new little brother all alone with that monster's creepy daughter!'

Sabine adorably proclaimed before then looking directly to Maema as if ensuring the message was sent, causing Maema having realized just that to then with all the grace she could muster to then 'gracefully' spit on him.

While indifferently returning to her book resulting in him using his mana control to remove the spit and send it directly back and into her mask resulting in a mini showdown.

Albeit that was until Asher pouted up a storm and Lady Felly shut it down with two powerful flicks to their foreheads.

"Don't be brats around my baby disciple! I don't need him to absorb the bratty behavior between you two! Now you three should eat breakfast!"

Lady Felly reprimanded resulting in both Sabine and Maema pouting up a storm and Asher giggling his heart out.

Soon enough after a fast three years had passed, all three had greatly improved and grown up together.

Maema was now thirteen years old and had already reached for that of a High-Level Archmage, and Ancestral Assassin or to be more specific a Shadow Assassin.

And even an Artisan while burying herself in her mother's research?

While becoming quite attached to her precious 'forever' companion, while as for Sabine his situation was always unique.

He was now also thirteen years old however slightly older than Maema having reminded her quite a few times over the years.

While he had become a High-Level Ancestral Knight, Swordsmen, Assassin, Warrior, and Archmage.

While it also seemed he had also become an Artisan seeing as he was already on the brink beforehand, he had also grown quite attached to 'his' little brother Asher while as for Maema, they became frenemies it seems?

While finally for Asher he was now ten years old, brighter, and a lot smarter! Of course, he was still outrageously adorable, and still suppressed his trauma but improvements no matter how small were still improvements!

He had become a Mid-Level Sword Saint, Archmage, Ancestral Warrior or to be more specific a Ghost Warrior, and a Junior Artisan thanks to Maema and Sabine's insistence of him joining them during their training and copying them.

While his loving master Lady Felly had ensured as much.

While Asher himself loved Felly, and Maema to death while he also greatly loved his big brother while ultimately being the glue that combined all three four together.

What's more, he had learned how to create and command his own blight spirits and a handful of others from Maema's Lineage!

All the while back to Lady Celestine having explained the short 'clean' version of it all which was the equivalent of Aimee, Asher's mommy 'mistakenly' sending him to the wrong location where he had experienced horrors of a lifetime.

Whereas he was eventually saved after a young Ancestral Royal who had mistakenly gone through the same portal two years later and sensed him.

Resulting in his rescue after Celestine had asked her close acquaintance to become his master, and the daughter of the monster became his 'companion'.

Ultimately resulting in both Rory and the young prince to then adorably pause while Aubrey had the strange feeling it was all done intentionally even if it wasn't his mommy who did it.

Whileas Octavia simply couldn't believe someone was stupid enough to send their child 'anywhere' in The Endless Whatever?!

And much like Aubrey, Octavia also believed it was done intentionally! It had to be! Why else would one not check on their child?! Causing Octavia after coming to a realization to then disappointingly frown.

"Does 'that' Aimee have a Gildergram?"

Octavia helplessly asked causing Celestine to then helplessly nod before then using Octavia's magepad and taking her to Aimee's Gildergram ensuring Octavia's fears came true.

Resulting in her displaying it on the large crystal screen causing everyone to then helplessly pause at such a sight.
