Chapter 261. Friends?
Planet: And that's how we found her, Loyal.
Loyal: What a lovely story.
Nova: I-
Loyal: How many deities knew about her? Besides you all and Galactic.
Nova and Planet kept quiet and stared at the floor. Loyal twiddled his thumbs waiting for an answer.
Loyal: No one is going to get in trouble, Planet. I'm not going to lose my temper.
Planet: Liberty and Story know about her.
Cosmic: Moon does too.
Nova: Blod knew, but he's gone now.
Loyal: Yes.
Everyone was silent for a moment thinking of Blod. Doragon purred at her father and Cosmic.
Loyal: She is a drag-on, right?
Planet: Yes.
Loyal: I thought these creatures were just fairy tales?
Nova: They are not. They were hidden from you.
Loyal: Why?
Planet: To keep them safe.
Loyal: Hm. I want to see this world.
Nova: Blod had to keep this book away from you, but it's too late now.
Nova handed Loyal the book that Blod had kept. Loyal flipped through the pages smiling at the drawings.
Loyal: Mind if I read through this? I'll return it soon.
Planet: Go ahead, Loyal.
Loyal: Thanks. I'm deeply ashamed of what happened to your daughter.
Nova: Mind if we ask what happened to you?
Slightly embarrassed, Loyal told Nova when he met Doragon. Planet tried to hide his smile behind his hand, but Loyal saw it.
Loyal: -Sigh-
Planet: Oh well. It was an honest mistake, Loyal.
Loyal: Now, she hates me.
Nova: Oh-no, Loyal. Blessing forgives you.
Doragon sniffed at Loyal who flinched from her hot breath. Cosmic eyed his sister.
Cosmic: I'm hungry.
Nova: We better head home, Planet. Thank you, Loyal.
Loyal: No problem. Goodbye.
Planet picked up Cosmic and took Nova's hand.
Planet: This is too much from you, Loyal.
Loyal: Eh?
Planet: All of us thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Loyal. Most deities would have said no to Blessing. Now, Cosmic gets to keep his older sister.
Everyone in the room smiled at Cosmic who was smiling at Blessing.
Loyal: You're welcome, Planet.
Planet: Again, thank you, Loyal. Thank you so much.
Planet and Nova bowed deeply to Loyal.
Loyal: No-
Nova: We really appreciate everything you do, Loyal.
Cosmic jumped from his father's arms, hurried over to Loyal and kissed his cheek.
Cosmic: Thank you!
Loyal: Oh! Y-you're welcome.
Cosmic: 
Planet and Nova were laughing softly at Loyal who looked slightly embarrassed from Cosmic's kiss.
Nova: Goodbye, Loyal.
Loyal: Bye.
Loyal nodded at Blessing who was staring at him.
Loyal: I'm sorry for what I did, Doragon.
Gently, Loyal placed his hand on Blessing's horn. Blessing's heart begin to flutter from Loyal's touch.
Loyal: Friends?
Blessing purred at Loyal.
Loyal: See ya, Doragon.
Cosmic tugged at his lovestruck sister's wing. Blessing hurried after her family. Loyal stood on the porch waving goodbye.
Himitsu watched from the window disgusted from Planet and Nova's words of gratitude.
A week later.Cosmic sat outside catching frogs to throw at Galactic while Blessing sat next to him chewing on her paw.
Cosmic: Yuk! Look at this ugly toad. I can't wait to throw this at Galactic.
Blessing: -Growls-
Cosmic: Galactic started it. She threw a snake at me.
Blessing: -Shrugs-
Cosmic: Dandy! I can't wait to throw it.
Cosmic collected more frogs not paying attention to his sister. Blessing turned her head around in time to see Loyal walking by carrying a jar of paint; Loyal saw Blessing gawking at him, and waved kindly at her.
Blessing sat still watching Loyal walk away.
WHUMP!!Cosmic: Mommy!!
Four minutes later, Blessing woke up after cold water was thrown on her, Planet held an empty bucket while Nova and Cosmic shook her.
Nova: Blessy? Are you okay?
Blessing: ....-huff-
Inside.Cosmic leaned against Blessing munching on an apple; Blessing laid quietly on the floor.
Nova: Is she alright?
Planet: She will be.
Nova: Why did she faint?
Planet: She said it was the heat, but I think there is more to the story.
Blessing sighed and thought of Loyal.
