Dove returned home, and Seth was waiting for her on the way. She threw herself at him, certain as always that he would catch her. In his arms, her nerves finally broke free, and tears flowed #uoat

Drusilla and Adler were silent for a moment, though it was clear the conversation was flowing between them. Dove shifted uncomfortably; she hated not knowing anything until the old man spoke again #uoat

Her voice never wavered, there was no doubt, and that was evident to both her and them, just as Seth had guessed #uoat

Drusilla's dry, defiant laugh revealed how little they believed her, but Adler didn't seem to notice; his piercing gaze was fixed on her, arms crossed. But when he asked, the blue-skinned woman almost sighed; it was the question she longed to answer #uoat

The tension was palpable, and the magic of the place weighed heavily on her shoulders. Dove shifted, repeating the story, making sure she wasn't lying #uoat
Astra⋆ 1 / 3
She felt the man's heavy gaze, piercing her as if he could know all her secrets with just that. She stood firm, refusing to flinch #uoat

They entered the room in an awkward silence, and Dove suddenly felt the power of the room; her tongue felt heavy and her throat dry. She knew she had to be very careful with her words, as she was in a sacred area, and the two ancient, masked figures made that obvious #uoat

Titania turned to the other fairy, the air tense between them #uoat

The day arrived, and before she knew it, Dove was being escorted to meet the famous council, which she had never seen but which had such a profound influence on her life. Titania was more serious than ever, and like her, she wore a mask #uoat
Astra⋆ That night they slept as close together as they could, but their dreams were restless and terrifying, reflecting their fears #uoat
Astra⋆ 1 / 3
Dove hugged her legs for a few moments, reminding herself that she was capable, that this was to help her friends, and that they could do it as long as they were together #uoat
Astra⋆ Seth shifted, visibly frustrated, arms crossed, while Dove wasn't sure what to think #uoat
Astra⋆ 1 / 2
The dark-haired man looked down, silent for a moment, and Dove couldn't help but move closer, comforting each other #uoat
Astra⋆ Recalling their previous conversation, the brunette shifted uncomfortably; it seemed like a dangerous game #uoat

Seth could guess the reason without Dove having to tell him; there was only one motive after all: they were investigating Nadya's disappearance and they wanted Dove's version of events #uoat

When the girl disappeared, Dove ran inside the house, looking for Seth. The letter was ambiguous, warning that Titania would come for her when the time was right. She would have to go with her, wearing her true form and the mask #uoat
Astra⋆ The woman hesitated, but finally opened the package, finding the aforementioned letter next to a brilliant diamond and a mask #uoat

That's how an unknown fairy found her. She looked very young and innocent when she approached, asking about her #uoat

The little ones have already started making messes and their father spent half the time cleaning up their messes while Dove spent a little distracting her mind #uoat
Astra⋆ 1 / 3
And she succeeded, after many attempts, so much so that they ran out of flour and for both of them there was only a cake left, but the children were too young to complain #uoat
Astra⋆ As the months passed, the twins' birthday arrived and Dove, who had not touched the kitchen since she had been reborn, promised to make them a small cake #uoat
Astra⋆ She finally caught her, but Epiphany was too happy with her first flight to be bothered by it #uoat
Astra⋆ 1 / 2
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
Astra⋆ 1 / 2
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
Astra⋆ The family, after their day at the park, were even happier to have seen their friends #uoat
Astra⋆ 1 / 2
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

Introductions were in full swing, with little Vance being passed from hand to hand, being incredibly adorable #uoat
Astra⋆ 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
Astra⋆ 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
Astra⋆ Seth was absolutely determined that the children learn as much as possible, but the children disagreed #uoat
Astra⋆ 1 / 2
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
Astra⋆ 1 / 2
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)
Astra⋆ 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
Astra⋆ 1 / 2
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
Astra⋆ The silence was heavy for a few moments, and the dark-haired man shifted uncomfortably until Dove spoke again #uoat
Astra⋆ 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
Astra⋆ 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
Astra⋆ 1 / 2
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
Astra⋆ 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
