Ela didn't answer, but she ended up leaving the area for awhile, letting the family have their time. Glenn frowned at seeing Ela eat, but he made a promise that he would play with her after he finished. Munching away, he savored every bite. Ai looked at Mai-Fei, wondering how well she was going to enjoy the food.

She didn't touch anything but her chicken tenders and her fish bites, the curry and other foods not being even sampled. Pickier than her mother, it seemed.

"... Honestly, my daughter, will you not try and eat the other foods?"

"No... They're yucky."

Derrick watched with a laugh, then turned to his wife and son. "How do you like it?" He asked.

Ai sighed. "Come now, you should try it. Otherwise you won't have much to eat in this world. If you don't try them, I'm not letting you have any more fish nuggets or chicken tenders for a whole month."

Taini laughed at the discipline, her own tail flicking in amusement. "Very good, as usual." She replied as Glenn attacked his food like there was no tomorrow. "Mm.. MMmmm PH MPH!!!" He could only say as he stuffed more food in his mouth.

"You're going to choke if you keep it up, Glenny. Slow down. And here." Taini handed him a glass of lemon iced tea, and the boy began to drink it rapidly, washing down the food.

"But... But... But... I don't want any of the gooey stuff!" Mai-Fei groaned. "I just want more chicken now! Mommy, you're barely eating any other stuffs!" She said, shaking her head. "I don't want any other stuff!!" She said.

Irvine sighed. "Ai, come now, don't force her to eat something she doesn't want... Let her have that freedom to eat to her fill of what she'd like, no more, now less."

Derrick laughed. "Having trouble there?" He mocked Ai, before looking to his son. "Are you enjoying everything?"

Ai shot a glare at Derrick. "Shut up Detective Pipsqueak." She warned before giving into Irvine's whims, wishing he wouldn't go so easy on her. "Alright, alright... You can have more chicken." She told her daughter, realizing that she was a HUGE hypocrite. As in, she only had chicken nuggets on her plate.

"You guys really need to broaden your tastes..." Taini pointed out before going to help herself with another plate. Glenn nodded heartily. "Y-yeah! I am! This food's awesome!" He squeaked as he kicked out his legs and continued to eat.

By the time everyone was finished, it was late and the children were put to bed, knowing that her brother and Ai would stay at their home that night.

Taini had lied in bed after talking for a little while longer, reading a book for pleasure for once in her life, though her eyes were darting between the words and the clock. Five minutes left...

Irvine too was lying awake, though he was staring at the moon instead of a clock, lying on the roof for once. 'Another birthday with a child... I am truly lucky... To have Ai as a wife... to have Mai-Fei as a daughter... For my family... For everything... I must be truly lucky...' He thought, seeing shuffling. "Hm?" He thought, sitting up suddenly. "What's going on?" He asked, seeing a figure in shadows. "Who are you?" He asked, gripping his sword, glaring at the strange figure.

There were no words in response, the man raising a spear.

Birds flapped away, and there was barely a sound. "Huh...?" Mai-Fei asked, blinking and looking around. "Daddy?" She asked, stepping outside, and seeing her father lying on the ground. "DADDY!!" She shouted. There were signs outside of a struggle, splashes of blood, broken branches, and several craters, as well as Irvine's bracelet lying on the ground, having been left off intentionally.

Ai, having heard her daughter, threw her legs over the bed that they were sleeping in, and ran out the door. "Mai-Fei!" She called out before seeing the girl and Irvine's form on the ground. "I-IRVINE!" Running over to him, she knelt down, shaking her head, not knowing what to say. She couldn't make out what had happened, seeing the blood spattered everywhere and the craters.

But Irvine was breathing, if only barely. Whoever had done this, they had gone out of the way to brutalize the man as much as possible, but had intentionally left him alive. Their power must have been unreal, since he had clearly taken off the bracelet of his own free will. His breathing was unsteady, and if nothing was done, it was almost certain that he would die from his injuries.

Ai's breathing was also shaky as she placed a hand onto her husband's back, scared that he wasn't going to make it. "Mai-Fei! Get your aunt!" She cried as she unsealed her wings and began to heal him to the best of her ability, at least to the point where she could move him without killing him. Taini eventually ran over, her breaths shallow as she took no time to waste and began to help Ai with the healing. "Irvine, you gotta stay with us!" Taini barked as she put in much effort, hopefully force his breathing to become slightly steadier. W-what could have done this? Irvine, don't die on us!!!

"Nggh..." Irvine groaned.

"Why is daddy hurt?" Mai-Fei asked, tears in her eyes. "Daddy, you have to not be hurt! We still have to pway together!" She said, shoving the injured man's arm. Really helpful there, Mai-Fei.

Irvine winced in response to the shove, but at least he was responding.

"Please don't Mai-Fei... he's really really hurt..." The woman muttered as she gently picked up the body, then carried it inside with a frown, with Taini following close behind.

"I don't know what could have..." Taini began, only to feel silenced as she watched her brother being placed in the guest bedroom. "...Let's get a doctor here."

Since then it had been two years. It was Glenn's fifth birthday, and he realized that it was going to be a turning point for him. How? He wouldn't know yet, but hey, he had cake at least. Or was going to later in the day.

And Mai-Fei was going to help! Hooray! She was making him a cake, because she was nice like that, although it wasn't the prettiest cake in the world. At least she didn't have any Zombies helping her make it, right?

So, in the living room, Irvine was looking into space, still thinking of the occurrence two years prior. "Taini... Have you heard anything of the man in the shadows?" He asked the woman.

"Hm..." Taini was patting Mai-Fei on the head. "He's going to get pretty sick from so much cake." She laughed as she thought of what her brother asked her. "The man in the shadows... I didn't get a name, but I did get some background information. He's seeking out the strongest... at least, trying to eliminate them when their guard is down." She explained as she placed the cake batter in the oven, taking much longer than Mai-Fei to make it. "I'm not sure what his reason was... but I suggest any of us be on our toes. Maybe Derrick even should. But I think he is out to kill the family... he is reported to have gray eyes, long black hair tied in a ponytail, and fairly built. He always dresses in black, and is incredibly fast... That's basically all I know... and I've been proclaimed as one of the greatest detectives on this planet." She sighed. "This is a tough one..."

"... A disguise?" Irvine asked. "Or some kind of a front... Still... For someone to be that strong... They must be ancient... Or have some other kind of way to... Outdo our strength... The odd thing is... They didn't seem dangerous at all... I was going toe to toe with them until I took off the bracelet... They just... Seemed unreal."

"Look, Auntie, I made a cake!" Mai-Fei said, holding up her ugly cake.

"...Possibly... Wait. So what happened when you took off the bracelet. From the sounds of it, you should have taken him head on." Taini raised a brow as she gazed down at her niece, then smiled. "It's a lovely cake. I'm sure everyone will love it, especially your cousin." She then knelt down and placed her hands on the young girl's shoulders. "So, when are you starting school anyway, Mai-Fai? ^^"

"Um..." Mai-Fei blinked, scratching her head. "Oh yeah! A year ago!" Mai-Fei said with a smile. "I'm houseschooled!" She said with a grin. "And they take me to the YMCA three days a week so I can play with other kids!

Derrick blinked. "YMCA?"

"Oh... The Young... Men of Carleon... Association!" Mai-Fei said, looking very proud of her cake, which looked like a wad of purple sludge.

"That's the thing... The moment I took it off... The person completely overpowered me... Like I was nothing... Even with Seraphim..."

Glenn was heard coming down the stairs with a small yawn, his small body apparent as he rubbed his eyes. "Morning..." He mumbled. "You're being homeschooled?" He asked Mai-Fei as he walked over to her. "I'm going to start school next week! Going to a pretty big one! In Heimdall!" He squeaked.

Taini, meanwhile, took the time to sit next to her brother. Placing a hand on his back, she frowned. "I-I'm sure we can do something about it. No one is invincible. Remember that. Not even Mom." She then turned her head to her son. "Morning Glenny! Did you have a good sleep?"

"Mm." He nodded as he continued to rub his eyes. When he stood next to his cousin, it was clear that he was five inches shorter than she was.

"Hi Glenn!" Mai-Fei said, handing the boy the sludge cake. "I made my favorite cousin a cake!" She said. "And I made my other favorite cousin some too, but she can't eat it..." The girl spoke with a frown, looking at Ela.

"... So, is she really there?" Irvine asked. "Or were they just playing a game on us?" He said, changing the subject.

"..." Taini turned her head away for a moment. "She's really here. She's been here for quite awhile... off and on. Whenever Glenny is sleeping she leaves... Her presence is obvious... to me anyway." She lowered her head, sighing. "But, she's probably good company for my son."

"It's okay!" Ela replied. "I bet it would be tasty!" She quipped as Glenn took a bite of the cake, though he was wary of it. "Mm... this is actually pretty good!"

Like father, like daughter.

"Really? Cause I put in extra salt!" Mai-Fei said. "Daddy said salt adds flavor and he cooks really good, so I put in a cup of salt!"

Irvine sighed. "Lovely... I'm actually still sorry about that... I'm sure it hurts to feel your daughter's presence but not be able to do anything about it..." He shook his head. "I still worry about the time that will come when Mai-Fei has to leave... I want her to be able to live a full life before then..."
