She finally caught her, but Epiphany was too happy with her first flight to be bothered by it #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:59 AM
And well, her mother almost had a heart attack—if that was even possible for a fairy—when she stumbled upon her little daughter flying through the kitchen #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:58 AM
But the calm didn't last long, and as if it were a premonition, Nadya and Seth's words came true as the children demonstrated their first magical explosions, which their father greeted with joy #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:56 AM
The family, after their day at the park, were even happier to have seen their friends #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:55 AM
It was a short visit, because the girls were still quite paranoid, but full of events, with Silas taking his first steps into the world #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:54 AM
Introductions were in full swing, with little Vance being passed from hand to hand, being incredibly adorable #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:53 AM
Vance wasn't the only one excited; the babies were clearly enjoying their time outdoors without any giant cowplant shells to terrify them, a completely new environment! #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:51 AM
Finally, her friends contacted her through an anonymous chat to meet at a park far from home, but not so far as to be their new home, and the family couldn't refuse #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:48 AM
Seth was absolutely determined that the children learn as much as possible, but the children disagreed #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:44 AM
After that conversation, Dove was a little calmer and for a while everything was fine, taking care of the children amidst the awkward wait for her friends to show signs of life again #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:40 AM
Dove was still unsure, but the way Seth explained it made her feel calmer, though not reassured #uoat

(Here's another little bit of lore that I hope makes sense)
November 18, 2025 at 11:39 AM
Seth plopped down on the bed, and Dove, a little hesitant, followed. She wasn't convinced by what he was saying, but she would listen if that was the reason #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:37 AM
Seth didn't answer, and she wasn't going to let that happen. She moved closer to him until she couldn't avoid his gaze and tried again, more calmly, letting out everything she was thinking, knowing he wouldn't judge her #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:34 AM
The silence was heavy for a few moments, and the dark-haired man shifted uncomfortably until Dove spoke again #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:33 AM
The black-haired man felt guilty. He knew Dove would be angry with him when she found out, but the blonde asked him to let her tell her herself; her being sad was worse than being angry #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:28 AM
Of course he already knew. Seth had known Nadya long before she did; it was natural that he'd find out first, but he hadn't said anything to her #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:21 AM
Seth noticed the moment his partner entered the house, but the sadness that enveloped her made him put the children to bed first and give her a moment of peace before joining her #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:19 AM
The brunette couldn't stop turning over all the information she had received, panic constantly on edge, for Nadya, for the council, for her children, and even for Seth. She couldn't believe that so many years later she still felt like a lost girl among the fairies #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:14 AM
When Dove got home, she felt emotionally exhausted. Her friends were leaving, and for a while she wouldn't even know where they were going. Plus, Nadya's situation was awful #uoat
November 18, 2025 at 11:12 AM
In the end, it was better than Bosco expected, although Nia didn't entirely agree.
"It could have gone worse," the boy murmured, smiling.
“With a LOT of practice, you're sure to be excellent. You have the talent, you just need... the practice”

Bosco was slow and painful, though Nia didn't complain and calmly guided him even though it was her skin that was suffering from the mistakes.
"Don't stress if it's not perfect the first time, okay? Practice makes perfect"
"Alright!"

Bosco didn't even hesitate before closing the shop, and Nia kept her word, explaining and then letting him use her skin.
"I need you to be calm, okay? So you can have a firmer line."
"Okay!"
#VVL
November 14, 2025 at 11:53 AM
"Okay?"
"Whenever you want, I'll explain a few things to you! And if it goes well, you can even try it on my skin"
"But isn't that too unsafe?"
"Nah, if it goes wrong, I'll cover it up later. I've taken a few classes and I know how to cover them up"
"Okay! Let me close the shop!"
"Now?"
"Sure!"

"You have to be one to recognize the other" she stated without hesitation "Now you just need to start tattooing so we can be a team."
"No competition?"
"Over the years, I've discovered there's a market for everyone, kid, and your style seems very different from mine"

Nia showed up at the gallery at first and seemed delighted with her skill and improvement.
"I knew you had hope." She smiled as brightly as she could. "You seemed to have the soul of an artist."
"Well, you figured it out before I did, but thanks for your idea, it gave me some guidance"
