The brilliant blue sky was illuminated by the rays of the sun as baby cloud mantas floated about flapping their thick wing like fins as their soft white underbelly's glowed with a neon green light ,some hit each other with their thick wings like a slap ,others blew out plumes of white clouds from their mouths.
The whale like call of their mother drew them back as they huddled close to the magnificent beast as she gracefully floated through the air, as the cloud manta's flew across the wind the smell of cooking meat entered their sensitive nostril's as they couldn't control their saliva.
Below them an estate stood ,the house was made of bricks covered with ivy which bloomed with blue flowers ,it's roof painted green with white outlines, seemingly highlighting the well kept garden populated with an impressive array of flowers, and most importantly a massive grill which cooked meat.
The house itself was filled with commotion , the servants went around in a hurry preparing a massive table outside ,as men and women conversed in the garden ,adults talked about how their children were doing and the completion of their own respective duties ,what new magic's and magical instruments were invented ,or what new land had been cleared of monsters and that could be turned into housing or cultivated ,teens talked about their own intrest's at school ,their future aspiration's ,fears of what the future held for them and whom of the opposite sex they had an interest in ,and children ran about and played with one another ,innocent and oblivious to the worlds troubles.

"Take it back dean!!" A boy of no older than 9 with brown hair reaching his shoulders and blue eyes spoke pointing to the boy across from him.
"Sorry i cant take it back sam,im a good boy and i cant lie" Dean a boy about 3 years older with short brown hair and the same blue eyes spoke shrugging innocently,"besides,girls like valentina are only intrested in boys older than them,the sooner you learn that,better" Dean rubbed his nose looking sly and content with bullying his younger brother,however sam smiled darkly "Speaking from expereince?,just because you fumbeled with victoria dosent mean you have to be such a sore loser about it dean, just because she saw what was underneath those trouser and ran off laughing her ass off dosent mean i will have the same 'shortcommings' " Sam began to chuckel which promptly stopped as he felt a gust of hot air pass him by he looked b ehind him as a fiery explosion took place,he looked back seeing dean with toothy grin,which sam promptly returned with a smirk as ice materialised in his hand.
Nearby shouting could be heard "Oh in the name of the serpent!!".
"Sam and dean are at it again!!"
"Where's Martha"
"Forget Martha! Where's the beer!!" The women promptly shot the man who said that a cold glare.
*************************************
While the commotion continued in the garden,a little girl gritted her teeth pushing herself up the wooden gates,as she looked past and into the deep dark cave illuminated with blue stone embedded into the wall's which allowed for visibility while simultaniously preventing any light pollution.
The girls blue eyes visibly shone with stars as she rubbed her brown hair,as she climbed over the fence and began to skip into the cave as if she were going on a grand old adventure,she then saw the second gate within the cave as she began to climb over than one to,however as she tried to climb over she fell down onto the caves floor,a normal girl her age might begin to bawl her eyes out,but she remained calm and composed,she pushed herself up from the floor of the cave as she dusted her silk dress and took a stepforward.
She leaned forward staring down the the steep drop in front of her lined with the same blue crystals,she smiled again turning holding the intention to venture down into the depths,however her hopes where shattered as she bumped into something solid,she was pushed back onto the ground,as she bit her teeth and rubbed her head,as she looked up she saw a man wearing a long blue coat with a pin around the collar underneath he wore a black jacket and trousers with a white button up shirt.
The man had long silver hair and,and brilliant blue eyes his face was young and youthfull,he looked down at the girl with a dark smile on his face as the girl smiled coyly.
"Hey granpa-OW!!" The girl recoiled as her grandfather knocked on her forehead.
He breathed in before shouting "Elliona lamburges de laurent what are you doing here?!!" She shyed away as he spoke her full name,she spoke softly looking up at him with innocent tender eyes sparkeling like stars"I just wanted to see the cute bab- OW" her grandfather knocked on her head again,as he laughed like villain "I am well over 112 years already young lady how many times do you think ive seen such tricks,and besides i already told you right? the beast's need time to nurse their children,if one of the spiderlings saw you what do you think wouldve happened?".
The girls eyes shone once again as she spoke striking a pose this time "im sorry grandpa i wont-OW!!" she was knock on the head once again,her eyes narrowing this time,"Your such a killjoy! hmph" She crossed her eyes turning away.
Her grandfather smiled ,"You say that like its a insult,ill have you know crushing the joy of brats like you is my favorite activity,besides i already told you that this place is off limits" The girl stuck her toung out turning away again,before her face changed "Wait if no one is allowed to come here" She turned to look at her grandfather with renewed vigor "Then why are you here?!!" She poitned to him as he clicked his toung and muttered "Sharp little thing" She stood up hurridly and continued to point "Your here to see the babies tooo,grandpa you hypocrit!!" She said with a smile on her face as sweat ran down her grandfathers face,she grinned as she spoke "Your probably wanted one of the dragonlings to nip your ear? or did you want to fell the spiderlings soft fur rub against your face i wonder?!" He spoke gritting his teeth "You brat unlike you i know how to handle these beasts 'properly'".
The girls eyes sparkeled again "Then take me with you" He held his hand up to knock her again but she covered her forehead this time with a defensive look,he sighed "Do you always have to resort to your cute appearance? its concerning you already know how to appeal to men,well your mother was the same i guess",his words caused the girl to recoil,as she eyes seemed to grow shallow as she looked down.
Her grandfather paused knowing he had made a mistake,he sighed 96 years and he still makes mistakes talking to people, he wish he had 500 years of experience that could prevent such things from happening but he didnt.
He let out a tired sigh as he smiled reaching down picking Ellie up "Well come back here later i promise okay?" The girl nodded softly as he opened the gates with a flick of his finger and closed them the same way walking out the cave and back into the sun.
As he walked towards the estate he heard the commotion as he saw sam and dean fighting he sighed smirking as Ellie spoke with annoyed tone,"Why are boys my age so immature?".
Her grandfather who was holding her chuckeled as he spoke "Boys are immature at everyage in someway it just a different from of immaturity",Dean's shouting interrupted them "ill light that little worm on fire,then well see who's bigger".
He let out a tired sigh 'And regardless of age we alwyas compair the sizes of their insturments' he flicked his finger as the magic was snuffed out in their out in their palms,invisible threads appeared out of his finger attatching to them causing them to lose controll of their bodies.
A woman ran over with a troubled expression "Ahh!! father please dont give them trauma!" He stopped the spell as sam and dean fell to their knees,He turned to the woman "Oh of course my sweet martha,i would never harm my precious grandchildren" He said with a sweet smile which caused caused martha to sigh in exaspiration,as she turned to look as Ellie who was in his arms,as she saddened at the sight of her.
Soon martha went over and collected Sam and dean as everyone began to gather around the wooden table covered in cooked meat food and drink's,as He sat down,everyone even sam and dean payed respects to the head,as he gestured them all to sit down,he raised his cup filled with bloodberry wine.
"Everyone year we do this,i think the same thing,that we will need a bigger table" Everyone laughed as he continued "But despite the hardship and loss that our family has faced over the last year im proud to see us all have persevered,and continue forward,and i know that we are all hurting right now" Everyone seemingly looked at Ellie,who shrunk in her seat as he continued pain unconcealed in his voice"And i know that the pain will never go away,and thats the point,we arent ment to forget pain,or bury it,or supress it,but live with it,even if it rips us appart because we have to,because pain isnt malevolent,is not some sinister curse which exists to hurt us,it is the memory of something infinitly precious" his words caused an indescribabel emotion to spread across everyone present,some who were knights and general's serving and protecting the country,some were magician's and technician's creating marvels that would rock the world,some were even royals who ran entier country's but it didnt matter right now they were a family,united under their patriarch michael Laurent.
"To our family" the man raised his cup as the other followed,soon they began their liveley feast,the boys ate the meat like wolves as the girl's scoweled with disgust eliciting laughs from the adult's as the pain,sorrow,tension and fear of the future seemed to flow away to some place far away with the wine.

Micahel laurent sat in his rocking chair as the relaxing sound of the wind soothed his mind,on his lap,Ellie was there tying his beutifull white hair into braids,she pursed her lips as her brows deepened as she mooved his locks.
The estate was quiet,almost everyone was asleep after eating so much.
"Ellie,i want to tell you a story today" Ellie eyes lit up,if there was one thing that was a constant in her life ,it was that 1.She would most defenitly pet every singly baby beast in the world and 2. Grandpa's story's were the best.
"Is is a love story?" She asked
"No"
"Horror, Adventure?"
"No"
"Misadventure?" She asked narrowing her eyes as michael chuckeled shaking his head.
"Then what is it?" She asked with curiosity ,"Its all of that ,and none of that ,but its a story you should know as a part of this family ,by knowing this story you will know what it means to be part of this family ,what you decide to do with this is up to you" He spoke the calm smile never leaving his face.
Ellie nodded slowly as michael opened his mouth.
"Long time ago,in another world"
