[ I already made an announcement about me being busy with some private stuff and that I won't be able to release for some short time, but I still wanted to write this one so... I am sorry that it is short but I hope you will like it ]
Eleanor POV
I was sitting in the backyard gathering the " pretty lights", as my brother called them
Taking a closer look around the black void where they were I noticed that there were only a few left
As I was doing as big brother instructed, the few pretty lights that were left were soon gone
After they were all gone I felt a warm feeling spread throughout my body
It was a nice feeling. That warmth felt like it was giving me strength, no, it was actually giving me strength
' Maybe like this... I can be like big brother?' I couldn't help but wonder
I really want to be like big brother Arthur. He is so strong and cool, and mom and dad are always saying that they are proud and praising him
Of course, they are saying that they are proud of me and always praise me but... it isn't the same
Brother is always doing such cool things and I know that it's not comparable to me drawing a pretty drawing
I also want to get closer to him. I like it when he is praising me, I like it the most. But now that he is an adventurer I can barely even see him... I, I miss my brother
I miss him every day... like today, I was so happy to play with him
*BOOM*
I heard a large explosion close to me. When I opened my eyes I saw that I was in a huge crater and that aunt Tabitha and mom were running to me
I looked toward big brother and saw that he was smiling kindly at me. It almost seemed like he was proud of me, no I am sure that big brother Arthur was proud of me
Soon dad and uncle big glasses arrived as well, and they looked panicked for some reason
" Congratulations Ellie, you became a mage" I heard my brother say while coming closer to me
When he came to me he gently patted my head and smiled
" I became a... mage?" I couldn't believe what he was saying
We thought that humans usually awaken when they are around ten or eleven like with Lilia and that my brother is an...anomaty? I think that's how it's said. So how could it be that I...
" Congratulations Ellie" said both mom and dad in unison as they came closer to me and hugged me
Even big brother hugged me
After that, we had a very nice dinner with all of my favorite food
Now that we had eaten, I was in my bed with big brother as he was telling me a story
" Brother... will you be training me?" I gathered all of my courage to ask him this
I want him to train me because there is no better mage than my big brother, hmph!
" Of course I will, Ell" he said with a smile
After he said that I felt as he kissed me gently on my forehead, and soon after, I fell asleep

Arthur POV
After making sure that Ellie is asleep, I used a God Step to quickly go to the shared balcony of our rooms
I was really surprised that she awoke this early, it was way earlier than in the previous timeline
I am worried that this might lead to her getting some unwanted attention, and I would like to avoid it at all costs
I don't have any trust in the current Blaine. During the war, he grew into a splendid ruler but now... he is just a greedy pig
If he finds out about her I am sure that he would go to the great lengths to acquire Ellie, and would treat her as... a breeding stock
' If he even tries...' I felt that both aether and mana around me started fluctuating as I was thinking about this
' Master, calm down!' Dawn shouted desperately, attempting to calm my raging emotions
' You are right Dawn, I should really calm down' I thanked Dawn and headed back to my room
When I entered I was about to go to bed when I thought about getting myself a glass of water. Usually, I would just conjure some, but for some weird reason I decided to go to the kitchen and take some
----
" D-dear" I heard a feminine voice say from the other side of the door
" A-Alice I lo..." I heard my dad's voice and at that moment everything clicked
'Mom and dad are having s...' I couldn't even bring myself to finish that thought
' Wow, even your dad has more exciting nightlife than you'
' Shu-shut up' I answered Regis back
' I am only ten, so of course, I can't do such things' I answered back trying to make him shut with that but... you know Regis, he always has something to say back
' Yeah, and I have a human form' he said skeptically
'...' I was speechless
' zzz '
And Sylvie was sleeping through all of this... I feel like she could even sleep through an entire war
' I should do a little prank on mom and dad' I thought as both amazing and stupid idea came to my mind
----
We had breakfast and the atmosphere was rather... tense
Mom and Dad's cheeks were so red that somebody might mistake them for tomatoes
" Mom, Dad are you okay" Ellie asked clearly worried about our parents well being
At that moment mom and dad somehow became even more red and flustered, but in the end, they somehow managed to answer her
" W-we are fine Ellie" mom said with an awkward smile
' Arthur, I don't know whether you're a genius or a monster' Regis thought
' Seriously papa... '
' Master is a Mega idiot'
- Flashback-
I entered mom's and dad's room only to find them in the bed sheets doing the deed
I made sure to make my hair look really messy and my eyes sleepy so that they won't suspect a thing
After they noticed me they looked at me and their faces instantly turned into that of horror. They looked as if they were teens that were caught having sex in the bed of girl's parents, by her dad nonetheless
" Mom, dad... what are you doing" now their face, besides that of horror, had the desperate look
" U-um Art, w-we are... " mom tried to say something but she was just too embarrassed to say anything
Her face in the middle of the sentence just blushed even more and she hid behind her hair
" Arthur, we were just playing, it's a special game that only couples can play so I can't tell you what it is" my dad said with a straight face
I decided to try and test my luck even further so I gave them one last push
" But can you tell me its name?" I asked innocently
" Sex" as my dad said that mom slapped him on the head while using her other hand to cover herself with sheets
" Reynolds!" She scolded
After she was done with dad she looked at me with a gentle look before she started talking
" Now Arthur, go and sleep since it's late " She said the last part shyly
" Okay! Goodnight mom! Goodnight dad!" I said and left the room

Soon enough I was done with breakfast. Lilia went to the backyard to train with her teachers while I took Ellie to the front yard to help with her
' This will be an interesting couple of weeks '
