Chapter 135: The Inheritance of Parenthood

"Sekai." Genesia and Neosa exchanged a look. They liked the name a lot. It had a worldly ring to it.

"OMPHILE!"

--------

Out of the blue, an electric spark charged down from the merged atmosphere. Omphile popped into the mix with a loud crack from Pluto. The child took one look at her uncle and aunty, squawked, and jumped, hugging and rubbing her cheek on Genesia's cheek before doing the same to Neosa's, creating sparks on their skin as she buzzed energetically.

"Genezia! Neoza!" She cheered excitedly, pecking them on their lips. She trained her electric blue eye on Genesia and her light brown eye on Neosa. "Mphoza doesn't know I'm here, I electrocuted her gaze. I can't wait to see you for real! O!"

Her different-coloured eyes nearly popped out. "She's going to see me! I have to go back or else she'll fry me for breakfast. Your heart and diamond will fetch you some time okay? Okay bye bye!"

She winked at her grandaunt then popped away, leaving a loud crack.

Genesia and Neosa just stood there, dumbfounded, speechless, feeling their tingling lips and buzzing bodies. She's like a carbon copy of Mpho. Connected to the Impundulus, Sàngo, and Ama Soulee. They thought.

Neosa stomped on the hurricane she stood on, hugging herself, already missing the feeling of her niece. She couldn't stop beaming. "Dammit! Mpho beat us! She's so... so..." Cute didn't cut it, neither did beautiful, what word could she use? Electrifying?

"Omega!" She mimed an explosion with a broad grin.

"Omniscient Omphile," Genesia titled, smiling and watching his hands repulse and attract as if they were stuck in an electromagnetic field, half expecting them to grab onto his niece.

Bantii snorted. "Mmm-mm. I'm glad Mpho's branched my spots and Rassy's stripes so quickly. I'm even more glad that my twinnies have surpassed the records I established prior. You weren't supposed to reach this point you're currently in this fast you know? I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised. You are the son and daughter of the strongest fatherfucker in Constantia after all." She flicked her braided hair.

"You're too fast for your own good, Mama," Genesia commented, lowering his hands.

"Hayi, I know. You would think I'd be able to speed things in a better light for you. But that's the problem with light-speed," Bantii lamented.

"Absurdly fast to see and process," Neosa mused, standing still for once.

Bantii grazed Neosa's cheek, making her purr like a huge cat. "So about Leesie. Remember when you first met her? Remember what you first noticed about her?"

"Her amber eyes that reminded us of yours. And how she just... felt like you in different skin," they said at the same time.

Bantii glowed more as she smiled. "My spot of limited warmth. Otherwise, the Ice Queen would have frozen her completely during her youth."

"So that's why Mina is such an abnormality! Why she fell in love with Papa on sight, despite his scars, despite his Primalstasis form! Why she was formidable enough to humble him on his knees... like you always did!" Neosa stared at her mother in awe.

Bantii's grin brimmed with cockiness. "Ah, what can I say? Did you really think I would let Reno sacrifice himself and get away from it? Get away from me? Heeeh!"

She clapped her hands once as if she heard something scandalous. "That coward. He used to run away from me with his tail between his legs you know? I wasn't going to let him take the easy way out. If I was to die, I would make sure to find him again in the physical plane as someone else, otherwise, Leesie wouldn't have become your human mother in my place, or Reno's wife in my place, and Kakara wouldn't have become your human sister."
