BXBX NOVEL Chapter 348 - On Their Tails
~~~(Location: Forest, The Elven Kingdom)~~~
~~~(Time: 1:44 PM)~~~
The abandoned carriage on the road gave us everything it needed to. That\'s where our kids got through the wall. We found a very small and tight tunnel that could be traversed on our stomachs, but Marcus wasn\'t up for something so dangerous. "Do you think he\'ll be alright?" Chris places a hand on my back, getting my attention as Marcus walks ahead of us.
Marcus is getting so much stronger than either of us, and it\'s something that we\'re becoming concerned about. Not that he\'ll misuse his power, but it presents a danger to him in more ways than one. Blowing a massive chunk out of the Border Wall will gain us some heat if they find out it was us, but I can\'t be sure. We got out of there before anyone could get up.
He\'s still a kid, and I\'m worried that once people find out who he is, they\'ll try to use him. He\'s a Legendary class wielder, after all, and that\'s priceless to many powerful people and organizations. "He\'s responsible with his powers... He doesn\'t place himself on a pedestal because of them... I\'m worried about what others will do if they find out..." A mother worries.
The Elves won\'t let us go easy if they find us out here. They\'re likely scouring the forests. Instead of following the exact same path on our kids, we\'ve made a major divergence, and we\'re looking to loop back around after losing potential pursuers. "That\'s not what I mean... Do you think he can handle the pressure when it comes out..." I didn\'t even consider that...
There are going to be so many people that\'ll try to turn him to their side. He\'s an impressionable kid that can be convinced of something if given evidence, even if it\'s fake or not. "We\'ll be there for him, and I\'m not going to let this world hurt him that way... I\'ll suffer an eternity of deaths before that happens..." His hand slides up and rests in the middle of my back.
He\'s not going to be my little boy forever, and I\'ll be missing him when he leaves my side when he\'s older. Turing and flying away from the nest himself, just like Hailey and Cera have. While we\'re pursuing them to be a family again, I know that I won\'t be able to stay with them forever. They\'ll want their space from mommy and daddy.
They\'re adults, and one day I\'ll blink, and Marcus will be just like them... It makes me feel so empty... "No, the world we live in now won\'t hurt him... He\'s already too strong for any normal NPC or player to threaten him... He\'ll be a force that many wouldn\'t have the balls to approach..." His words are the other side of the coin, and they\'re just as possible too...

She tries her hardest, and she inspires me to try my hardest. We can\'t compete in power with Marcus or Cera, probably Hailey too. "Thanks for being such a great man and husband, Chris... An even better father too... I know we\'ve had our disagreements when it came to Hailey, but I\'m glad that we worked everything out..." She causes me to flash back to those moments.
Those days were easy compared to what we\'re dealing with now. While it\'s not as stressful financially, it\'s mentally and physically draining, despite the fact we\'ve regained our youth. "There were times that I wondered if our marriage would end, but you stuck by me anyway..." I wrap my arm around her and pull her closer as I talk.
She\'s dealt with so much crap in our early life together, and even though I worked myself to the bone, I still felt that I didn\'t deserve her... That I wasted her life and stopped her from having a far better one... "I\'d never leave you, Sweetie... You\'re my soulmate, and you gave me the best gifts I could ever ask for..." There is a tightness in my chest...
It\'s hard to hear her say that, not because it\'s not true or she\'s ever been unfaithful... Hearing her call me her soulmate makes me what to shed tears for the first time in my new life on Gaia... "You don\'t know how much it means to hear that... You\'re my soulmate too, Violet... You\'re the one that gave me the most important things in my life..." We\'re talking about our children...
They\'re our pride and joy, and no parent would disagree... She leans her head into my chest and slowly closes her eyes... She\'s trying hard not to cry at this moment between us, and I\'m not going to ruin it with any more words. Marcus is ahead of us and playing with his fire, enjoying himself. He\'s the reason we got through so easy.
Her hand clasps mine, and I hear her make a loud sigh. "I\'m excited to see our kids, and all I can do is hope they don\'t move from where they are. It\'s going to take about 3 days to avoid any elves following us or tracking us. They know that there are intruders that have entered their kingdom, and they\'re be looking everywhere." She\'s got her mind in the right place.

They\'re sure being lovey-dovey back there, and seeing that isn\'t something I like. Parents being like that aren\'t a good sight. My distraction is my practice with my fire, and my control is still getting better. There is still a long time before I get to see my brother and sister, but it\'s not that long. It\'s going to be exciting to show them what I\'ve learned.
I\'m betting that I\'m stronger than both of them now, and I can\'t wait to show off. Hailey and Cera will want me to stay with them instead of staying with mom and dad. I\'m starting to see why Hailey felt so smothered by mom. It\'s pretty intense at times. Since Cera and Hailey aren\'t here to divide the constant attention, I\'m taking 3 times as much.
Dad tries his best to separate mom from me, but I\'m needing a break from both of them. I know that I\'m really young, and they\'ll never let me stay with Cera and Hailey, but I can dream. My eyes turn towards the orange sky being lighted by the angle of the sun right now. The Elven Kingdom has some of the best views I\'ve seen.

Hailey and Jasmine are upset by the looks of it, but they haven\'t said anything yet. They\'ll get over it soon. It\'s not the end of the world. They even slept in, and that should be enough to let it go. Perhaps there its something that isn\'t as easy as letting it go. They have an intense connection, Hailey and Cera. They\'re a volatile sibling combo.
She is staring a hole into Cera\'s head, and Sally is caught between them. She\'s visibly nervous herself. "If you\'ve got such a problem, Hailey. Just say something, this isn\'t high school where passive-aggressive behavior will benefit you in any way."That sets off her fuse faster than I thought possible. It\'s a little funny, if I\'m honest.
She darts up from her seat and stands in front of Cera as he relaxes against the couch. "There is such a thing as the right time! Thin walls and a house filled with people isn\'t a good time to indulge in one another!!" Sally\'s blush explodes onto her face as she buries her face in her hands in embarrassment, trying to hide. It\'s quite a showing.
