Chapter 18: Settling down

Ryuu was amazed at what he saw, the forests the animals, birds he has never seen such sights before, flying was amazing, last time though a sever ran through his body as he thought about those meanies attacking them and his mama trying to escape with him, he wish his aunt Zhu Zhu was here as well, as his thought went to aunt his aunt Zhu Zhu, tears formed in his eyes, where is she his mama told she was some place working, why isn't she here, Ryuu decided he will not speak with her or play with her anymore. He felt betrayed and angry with his aunt Zhu Zhu.

Antariskh seemed concerned at seeing Ryuu shaking and crying,"Baby brother are you allright did something happen, tell big sister she will help."

Ryuu:"hic I miss hic my aunt hic Zhu Zhu, hic I have hic not hic seen her since those hic bad man attack us.", replied while crying,"I am angry hic I will hic not speak hic with her hic nor will I hic play with her anymore."

Antariskh descended from the sky and kneeled in front of Ryuu and hugged him as he cried bawling his eyes out.

Others descended and kneeled around Ryuu as Sylvana caressed Ryuu's head, after few minutes Ryuu cried himself to sleep.

Shamiran: "Lets get back and tuck our baby brother in bed. We will try to bond with him at later date."

Maheswara frowned as he looked at a certain direction.

Nuwa: "Is something wrong husband."

Maheswara :"Ryuu is very sad, well his sisters are bringing him back, and it seems he cried himself to sleep. Nuwa is his courtyard prepared."

Nuwa:"Yes, it is ready, we our-self prepared the formation surrounding it."

Maheswara:"Well Veena is currently moving the child's mother to his new courtyard, also it seems she has take a shine to the kid's mother, going as far as to refer her as her sister."

Nuwa smiled at that,"Well she is the most soft hearted amongst us. I will go and check on Ryuu."

With a smile she left Maheswara alone.

After Nuwa left Maheswara gave soft sigh as his eyes turned melancholic as he thought,'Ryuu is not Pangu, that day his existence was erased completely, yet a small of me still wishes that Ryuu is Pangu. How i miss my baby boy, no father should prepare for his son's funeral, if only we were stronger, faster, huuh.'

Meanwhile,

Veena was helping Xiao Xiao settle down in Ryuu's courtyard.

Veena:"Well how do you like your new house Xiao Xiao.", as she wheeled Xiao Xiao sitting on a wheel chair inside the house.

To Xiao Xiao it was less of a house more of a mansion. The mansion was located near a beautiful water fall, it was at least three stories high and was surrounded by a beautiful garden surrounded by many exotic looking plants and trees, looking at those trees and plants Xiao Xiao felt dizzy, 'The hell is this, this plants used as mere garden decorations, I have seen empires go to war from them, and some of them I don't recognise.'

The inside was another matter all together, the interior looked much bigger than from the outside. Not to mention the building looked as if cut of from a single jade. Veena gave Xiao Xiao a tour of the entire mansion, 'no not mansion, a freaking divine palace, the Imperial palace back home looked like a mud hut compare to it. Bathroom no it was a freaking hot spring with water fall, a kitchen for two of us, seems to made big enough to cook for an army, what are those things I have never seen before in a kitchen how do you use them, oi what is this dining space how many people do they think they will eat here. What is this a new world, a freaking new world inside this house labelled as practice room. Armoury, although it empty currently do they expect my child to have an army. Library although empty but so big'. With that she started to hyperventilate.

Veena:"Xiao Xiao are you alright, what happened to you, take a deep breath and come down."

Xiao Xiao managed to come down then she nearly shouted at Veena,"Sister, what is this, you call this house its a freaking divine palace with hot springs as bathroom, army can be fed in the kitchens, practice room that is a world itself. The garden, it is a divine treasure, the plants those fruits empire will wage war to get a single one of this plants."

Veena hearing this started laughing,"Sister why are you getting agitated Ryuu is our disciple, in a way he is like a son to us now, of course he will be treated as such. Oh it seems Ryuu is here now."

They saw a sleeping Ryuu, as Antariskh carried him, as she entered with her sisters, they saw Veena and greeted her,"Evening Mother."

Veena nodded at them, and said,"Evening children, I was showing 'Sister' Xiao Xiao around their new house. She from today onwards is my sister hence from now on refer to her as 'aunty'."

The three sisters frowned inwardly at that, but greeted Xiao Xiao nonetheless, "Evening Aunty."

Xiao Xiao was embarrassed seeing someone stronger and much older than her was addressing her as aunty so she hurriedly replied,"Please you don't have to be so formal with me just addressing me as Xiao Xiao is enough."

Veena:" So did he wore himself to sleep, he seemed quite energetic in the morning."

Sylvana:"Well, we were giving Ryuu a tour of Ayindril, when he started shaking and crying for his aunt Zhu Zhu, then he cried himself to sleep so we brought him back to his house. Mother if I may who is this Zhu Zhu and where is she."

Veena frowned at that,"Zhu Zhu was your aunt's sister in all but blood, you may have heard how thet cam to Ayindril, Zhu Zhu gave her life so they Ryuu and his mother could escape. Ryuu is young so it was decided to hide they truth about his aunt's death from him, he was told she is in a far away place dealing with some problem, she will come later on."

Xiao Xiao's mood became sombre again on hearing Zhu Zhu's name.

Veena guide the child and his mother to their bedroom and said,"Sister, I believe it will do both of you good if you stayed together with Ryuu as much as possible. Well it is getting late, their are many maids in this house, one of them you have seen before her name is Biskha, she was tending to Ryuu's needs while you were in hospital, feel free to ask them anything anytime ring the bell on the table near the bed. Well I will now leave you mother and son here it was pretty exhausting to you both today, so rest well sister, see you tomorrow."

Xiao Xiao nodded her head before replying,"Thank you for everything sister and see you tomorrow."

As they were leaving they came across Nuwa, "So has the mother and child settled down."

Veena: "En, though they are emotionally drained and retired for the night, the child seems to be sad as he is missing his aunt. So how did your new brother seem to you?"

Sylvana:"Well he seemed to be high on sugar otherwise ok, we did not get enough time to spend before he started crying for his aunt. But there is something odd."

Nuwa: "Odd?"

Shamiran:"Yes mother we asked why did he take your offer to become you disciple without a second as you were a complete stranger, he frowned before replying that he felt he could trust you and felt happy to see you."

Nuwa, "What", she was stunned as was Veena hearing that.

Nuwa's eyes watered as whispered," Our baby boy came back to me."

Veena felt her eyes going moist on hearing everything.

Antariskh frowned upon hearing it, she as much as she wants to have her big brother back she does not wants to have her hopes up high as it can turn out to false, she will wait for Mama Celestia's investigation to be finished so he tried to change the topic."Mama Veena why did make the youngster Xiao Xiao as your sister, she is neither strong nor does she have enough talent to refer herself as your sister. I do not like calling someone who was weaker than me and so many eons younger as my aunt."

Veena sighed at that , she should have seen this coming her daughters were too prideful to refer someone of Xiao Xiao's stature as their aunt. Thus she started explaining, "Well child...…"
