Lilia carried Livia in his arms, chuckling in amusement at how the girl tired herself out from all the bundling excitement. Silver looked over the edge of the boat, Silver beside him staring at the water. "Hey what's that!"Sebek yelled. Both boys screamed, jumping back when two eels surfaced swimming beside the boat. "They look good!" "Now, now Floyd they're passing through, don't eat them!" "You're no fun Jade..." Jade chuckled, before spotting Livia, his cheeks turning red. Lilia covered Livia from view, staring down at Jade. "Ah, yes Floyd lets go!"Jade says. He dove back into the water, Silver and Sebek staring in alarm. "Talking Eels!!"Sebek yelled alarmed. "Mmhmm those were mermaids, remember the story I told you Silver"Lilia nodded. "Oh yeah, mermaids live in the water...those were eel mermaids!"Silver nodded. "Did I miss the pretty mermaids..."Livia asked. "I'm sorry but yes, don't worry looks like you caught the eye of one of them"Lilia responded. He playfully poked her belly, tickling the young girl. "Oh are you ticklish there!"Lilia gasped cheekily. He started poking her tummy more, laughter filling the air. Silver leaned on Lilia, falling asleep Sebek still staring at the water. "Sebek why don't you get some sleep too, I'll tell you when we get there"Lilia insists. "Okay"Sebek nodded coming over. Lilia gently tapped the heel of his foot, humming softly as the three kids slept.

Jade stared at the surface, holding a seashell necklace. "What's that thing for, it's not edible"Floyd frowned. "It's not to eat! It's for the girl up there"Jade retorted moving the necklace away from his brother, before he could take a bite out of it. He swam back to the surface, and carefully followed the boat, placing the necklace in Livia's backpack. Lilia glanced back, the little mermaid vanishing before he spotted him. He fixed Livia in his arms, and looked towards a clump of trees. He fell asleep, leaning back as a nightmare started up. He opened his eyes, finding blood on himself. He looked around, a fifteen year old Livia laying on the ground, Silver on his knees beside her in tears. "Liv, you're pranking me right! GET THE HELL UP THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!"Silver yelled. Silver gasped, a harpoon shooting him through the chest. He fell forward, laying beside Livia. Lilia stared his eyed wide in horror, then looked down finding a bloody harpoon in his hands. "Father, why...I-I thought we were your kids"Silver mumbled. Lilia looked up, finding Silver staring at him before the life drained from his sons eyes. "Daddy! Daddy!" Lilia gasped, waking up from his nightmare. "Father, are you okay you were crying in your sleep, muttering sorry"Silver stared. "Daddy, do you need a tight hug"Livia asked. Lilia nodded, forcing a smile. Livia hugged him tight, getting a hug in return from him. "We're here!"Sebek grinned. "Change of plans kids, there's this place I wanna take you to!"Lilia smiled. "Where is it?"Livia asked. "We'll travel there through the Rose Kingdom to another place...The Land of Harvest"Lilia smiled. "YAY!"Livia beamed her eyes sparkling. "Sebek I'll contact your parents, don't worry, they'll know you'll be gone longer than planned"Lilia promised.

"Alright!"Sebek nodded. He followed Silver and Livia off of the boat, Lilia floating down after them. Silver held Livia's hand, watching as his little sister grabbed a few flowers. "Look Silver!"Livia smiled. "Pretty"Silver nodded looking at the flowers in his younger sisters hand. He walked beside her, Livia making a flower crown then placing it on Silvers head, getting a minor smile out of her older brother. Sebek looked away, perking up when he felt something placed on his head. "Flower crown for you too Sebek!"Livia beamed. Sebek blushed, and looked away, his eyes wide in surprise. "Why don't you kids go play tag"Lilia chuckled watching them. "TAG, YOU'RE IT SEBEK!!"Livia beamed touching Sebeks hand. She ran off, Silver chasing after her. "You're it Mr Vanrouge"Sebek says tapping Lilia's leg. "Fufufu, you kids dare to challenge me"Lilia snickered. He chased after them, a smirk on his face. "Where are you kids!"Lilia chuckled. "AHHH DADDY!" Lilia froze, his eyes widening, then raced towards Livia's yell. "Livia!"Lilia yelled bursting out of a clump of bushes Sebek and Silver behind him. A woman with white blond hair looked up at him as Lilia stood over a startled looking Livia. "Ah please forgive me! I wasn't trying to scare your little one, I saw her and thought she was lost, so I guess I scared her, when I tapped her back." Livia gripped onto Silver, hiding halfway behind him. "I'm Tatiana, a light fae, it's a pleasure to meet you all, again sorry for scaring your child." Lilia stared at her, Livia taking a shaky wobbling step over to Tatiana. She stared up at the woman, getting a smile from the Light Fae. "Daddy, can she be my Mommy"Livia asked. "AH! AHA HAHA!"Lilia chuckled startled and flustered. He dragged Livia back over to him, Tatiana laughing in amusement. "I wouldn't mind having a cutie like you as my daughter, what kind of fae are you"Tatiana smiled. "A nocturnal jaguar fae, the only one of my kind!!"Livia beamed. "Ooo, that's quite special, make sure you don't go extinct"Tatiana chuckled. "We should be going..."Lilia says looking away from the scene. "Okay Daddy"Livia says getting up. "Bye Ms Tatiana"Livia waves. "OH NO, DON'T GO THAT WAY!"Tatiana gasped.

Lilia yelled in shock, falling into a rushing river Sebek catching Silver by the shirt collar. "Get back kids!"Tatiana yelled moving them back. She leaped into the river, swimming with ease through the rushing water. She grabbed Lilia, bringing him swiftly back to the surface. She bursted out of the water, setting Lilia down on land. Lilia opened his eyes, seeing Thea in front of him for a moment. He coughed, and shook his head, staring at Tatiana. Tatiana smiled, relived he was okay. "Daddy!"Livia yelled bursting into tears. "I'm fine Livia...don't worry it's gonna take more than some water to take your old man out"Lilia chuckled. "Thanks..."Lilia sighed looking at Tatiana. "Oh no problem!"Tatiana smiled. "We're going to the Rose Kingdom, do you know where it is?"Silver asked. "That's where I live, also you better get rid of those flower crowns, they're roses and we're called the Rose Kingdom for a reason"Tatiana says. She replaced the rose flower crowns with daisys, and regrew the roses picked back into the ground. "Follow me, I have a friend with a son who would love to have a new friend"Tatiana smiled. "NEW FRIEND, DADDY YOU HEAR THAT!"Livia beamed. "Yes cub, I heard"Lilia chuckled. "We should rest at my place for tonight though, you guys must be tired from your trip"Tatiana suggests. She picked Livia up, placing the girl on her hip. "Come along"Tatiana says in a sing a song voice. Lilia stayed back for a moment, staring at Tatiana seeing Thea in her. "Nobody can replace Thea..."Lilia mumbled. He followed them, Silver slowing down to walk beside him. "You okay Father"Silver asked. "Yeah, I'm fine don't worry Silver...just thinking about a few things"Lilia responded. "If you want to talk it out we can"Silver says. "It's alright Silver, lets continue to enjoy the trip, we have made a new friend"Lilia smiled. Silver nodded, taking Lilias hand. "If you wanna talk Father, I'll listen until I fall asleep"Silver says looking down. "Look at you, fussing over your old man"Lilia chuckled. Both continued to walk after the others, quietly chuckling. "Welcome to my home"Tatiana smiled moving some leaves, revealing a little secluded home surrounded by a field of flowers.
