Chapter 1: Lullaby612Please respect copyright.PENANA96loRYCvgY

A month had almost passed. The first few days of this month Alura had sulked and not wanted anything to eat. She didn’t want anything to do even with Ginsu’s at times prodding. This changed within the last two weeks. Her sadness had changed to a seething anger towards Marenzo and his memory. She began to fight an invisible foe, refusing to allow Ginsu to spar with her. Currently she had her two blades and was charging, jumping back and roll dodging with Ginsu watching on the sidelines.612Please respect copyright.PENANAXxtKpqBwPi

The Water God sighed and pushed his hand through his blue hair. He tilted his head back to look up at the blue sky that was filled with soft clouds of white. Maybe if I use my water to make a sparing dummy for her? That might help her better in her swordsmanship as well as to release anger through physical contact. Then again… he sighed quietly as he closed his eyes just as the wind blew warmly. If I do that and she doesn’t approve…she could start hating me and I don’t want her to hate me, not right now anyways. He heaved a sigh and rested a hand inside his pocket, turning his gaze back to her. If any of the others are watching and can help…I would appreciate it. 612Please respect copyright.PENANAb6KjREzWzB

Alura sliced through the air and landed before glancing over towards the Water God as her hair, that had come loose of the hair tie, fell across her vision. “Why do you keep staring at me and not letting me be alone most of the time?”612Please respect copyright.PENANAiEHQmGuYNK
612Please respect copyright.PENANArT5EiFDHmm
“Huh?” he slightly jumped being snapped from his thoughts. “I just want to make sure you’re okay so I thought me being around would help, given what happened.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAePqrKzaZVq
612Please respect copyright.PENANAicUFwjzwJa
She stood and snorted while shooting him a stern glare. “Well stop. I don’t need watched over because I’m just fine.” She snapped with anger lining her tone. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to train away from the cabin.” She started walking away only to pause and glance over her shoulder. “That is, if that’s okay with you, protective hawk.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAJn7PKyCZ8A
612Please respect copyright.PENANAF2JJSXobIa
Ginsu winced at the venom in her words and nodded. “Yup, that’s fine. Just come back in a few hours for lunch.” She rolled her eyes and continued on her way. He watched her disappear into the trees before going back inside, moving to the kitchen and began washing up the breakfast dishes. He frowned at the soapy water as he tried to get his thoughts straight. “…I don’t hover like a hawk…” he mumbled under his breath.612Please respect copyright.PENANAbFkljkh71k

Aw do you have problems, little brother? Marizu asked inside Ginsu’s mind, causing the Water God to stifle a growl.612Please respect copyright.PENANAPpY0jgIJSE
612Please respect copyright.PENANAzzkHahPZMM
When I asked for help figuring out what to do to help her, I didn’t mean for your creepy ass to answer. Now go away.612Please respect copyright.PENANAV9fykfRcFJ
612Please respect copyright.PENANAs6UZvSWGgb
Marizu chuckled inside Ginsu’s mind before it became audible in the room behind him. “Don’t you want your elder brother’s wisdom to help you?”612Please respect copyright.PENANApj9cFygcvd
612Please respect copyright.PENANAlDmqj20ehl
Ginsu turned and glared at the black haired Earth God who was surprisingly not in his normal armor. “Given how your advice comes from the prostitutes you take into the palace, I will gratefully decline your so-called wisdom.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAnOZkAdnoE5
612Please respect copyright.PENANAcipsuUq14s
Marizu closed his eyes at the same time as he hit his chest with his hand hard, gripping it with a dramatic move of throwing his head back. “Oh! You hurt me so bad with that insulting accusation!” Ginsu watched unimpressed by his brother’s actions. He didn’t bat an eye as Marizu began to laugh while returning to his relaxed position. “Heheh, you are so delusional.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAbR9JsDK9aG
612Please respect copyright.PENANA2OfELa2ypG
“I’m not delusional now get out of here. You are not hurting Alura.”612Please respect copyright.PENANA7v48d2zw2I
612Please respect copyright.PENANAl3BFQolqP0
Marizu snorted as he withheld a laugh. “You got me all wrong. I didn’t come here to kill her.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAOQGXv1DvsL
612Please respect copyright.PENANA36Vari2mFp
Ginsu raised an eyebrow. “Then why did you come here?” aside from taunting and annoying me.612Please respect copyright.PENANAAcK3PjE7K7
612Please respect copyright.PENANAlDCEhMLqt9
“I came here to make sure you understand the boundary line you are crossing again.” Marizu commented as he pushed back his hair from his eyes. “I told you before when you were in punishment, I warned you and yet you aren’t listening at all.” He expressed in a bored tone.612Please respect copyright.PENANAdagxZoZnBK
612Please respect copyright.PENANA9f41MvTyV7
“I’m not crossing any lines. I’m watching out for Alura as I was told to do.”612Please respect copyright.PENANA7W2Rkf9ecQ
612Please respect copyright.PENANAr065RXXEbJ
“Uh huh, and how many times did you lie to yourself to start believing that one?” the Earth God questioned flatly.612Please respect copyright.PENANAhEYpRiJPWo
612Please respect copyright.PENANA1EkBbeRiJ6
“It’s not a lie.” Ginsu growled with his jaw tight.612Please respect copyright.PENANAVrwDLmoGIn
612Please respect copyright.PENANAIHGRXSt3Bd
Marizu put his hand over his mouth as he stifled another laugh before lowering it. “Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sure the mortal has always had a god for a father.” He gave a sly look to Ginsu. “My mistake,” he cooed in a lower, almost taunting type of pouting tone.612Please respect copyright.PENANAZW79ptrK32
612Please respect copyright.PENANAgzKeVIQYBB
“Marizu…”612Please respect copyright.PENANArLSd9W98aA
612Please respect copyright.PENANA6ojXjAHmDx
“Is my sweet little brother upset I want him to stop playing daddy to a mortal urchin?”612Please respect copyright.PENANAtsFt2gF9La
612Please respect copyright.PENANA2msfq7m33J
Ginsu narrowed his eyes on Marizu. “Don’t call her that. I’m warning you, do so again and you’ll wish you hadn’t.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAGx3vD6g5DS
612Please respect copyright.PENANAIQq2FsawSs
“Not my fault you’re confusing ‘guarding’ and ‘fathering’ like a newborn.” He said smoothly in a quiet tone with a smirk on his face. He lowered his head as he kept his eyes locked on his tense younger brother. “Are you sure she isn’t just using you? I mean, she is a female after all and we both know what those vixen’s can do when given a-”612Please respect copyright.PENANADYrRuZda9J
612Please respect copyright.PENANAkbN8BpG7QK
He was cut off as Ginsu had quickly closed the gap and wrapped a hand around his brother’s throat, forcing his chin up. “I said to shut up about her.” Ginsu snarled through his tightly clinched and baring teeth.612Please respect copyright.PENANAQWLe8fAlL1
612Please respect copyright.PENANAS3RPL8ckdO
Marizu watched Ginsu calmly before he lifted a hand to rest it on the Water God’s wrist. “I’m not stupid and neither are you. Or…I would hope not.” He croaked out from the tight grasp on his throat. “You need to become more teacher than father before you end up doing something that results in someone being hurt.”612Please respect copyright.PENANAIMvLILx176
612Please respect copyright.PENANABQIuXWhg3E
“No one will be hurt except you if you don’t apologize for your words towards Alura.”612Please respect copyright.PENANA6cAiPXRppw
612Please respect copyright.PENANAFpCp34FOvg
“And how are you going to make me, little brother? Hmm?” the Earth God questioned as he formed thorny vines on the palm of his hand on Ginsu’s wrist. He smirked as he saw Ginsu wince in pain as the vine grew and began to wrap tightly into his flesh. “Are you going to release your hold or are we going to see if my vine can sever your wrist?”612Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ1Vfonlmj
612Please respect copyright.PENANAzafn7rSgz1
Ginsu was still but did release Marizu’s neck, grabbing hold of his bleeding wrist after the vine removed itself back into the middle brother’s hand. “Get out.” Ginsu growled with his sights on his injury he was now mending, a blue light coming from the palm of his hand.612Please respect copyright.PENANAGAFSxEMCt0
612Please respect copyright.PENANAqaNvN26i1f
Marizu stood, stretched and proceeded towards the door. “Fine, I will but…” he looked over his shoulder to Ginsu. “You know this isn’t going to work. You can’t keep her from him nor can you delay what’s coming.”612Please respect copyright.PENANA9qPJQpwm5g
612Please respect copyright.PENANApwlWtPwEsd
“…”612Please respect copyright.PENANALDthc5aMVz
612Please respect copyright.PENANAKYlIS5YwQE
“It’s your own fault. You brought her to us so, to take advantage of a little loophole to avoid becoming involved, she did.” Ginsu’s gaze had lowered as he listened to his older brother’s quiet stern words. “Don’t blame her for this failing when it could be considered your own. You had a choice that day…let them fall to their deaths or save them and see what would become of their mixed futures.” He looked away from Ginsu and continued out the door. “Too bad the Weavers couldn’t have spoken with you prior about mortals. I am beginning to think you need more training in how to better handle them as well.” He sighed, “then again…fire breath isn’t much better, becoming attached to the boy.” The door closed gently to leave the Water God alone with those parting words.612Please respect copyright.PENANAsEVWopwXrX
612Please respect copyright.PENANAymwqEI0RyO
Ginsu stepped closer and sat while closing his eyes as his wrist finished mending. Did I really make the right choice? I’m sure I did…I didn’t know Hiatsu would go ahead and pick her to help solve the mortal’s problems here. He thought sadly in the silence of the room, his magic coming to an end as he put his face into his hands with his elbows resting on his knees.612Please respect copyright.PENANAWnfn6Sk1aK
