For some reason, he doesn't look as reassured as Future!Nicole probably hoped.

"I mean without taking them into account. I know I'm weaker than my sister... but I'm still strong, right?"

He pauses, then smiles a little nervously and glances away.

"Ah, y'know, it doesn't really matter. Sorry if that was weird."


Those rhythmic steps would quickly be accompanied by the sound of a nearby fluteplayer sitting on the side of a fountain. There's a second person, but he just lays on the ground near the fluteplayer, seemingly asleep.

A pair dances towards the two, waltzing even, if you can call it that without music.

"I would guess that is suitable.", the male says as his rhythm changes slightly, adapting to the melody of the lone instrument.

Sandra is busy swinging around a tree.

Bruja is holding up a black knife nearby, stabbing the table and barely missing her outstretched fingers.

"Haha"

Concerned, Future!Nicole lays a hand on Niko's shoulder.

"Look, Niko, if there's something bothering you, just tell me about it. You know I ain't gonna judge you."

Upon noticing Sandra, she takes a moment to wave at her, then motions for her to join them.

The sound of the flute halts for a second, as if the fluteplayer either somehow heard or sensed the harmonized rythm nearby, then returns to playing the tune. He does get up and starts looking around for the rythm's owner though, but without stopping his melody a second time.

The other boy tiredly opens one of his eyes. Apparently he wasn't fully asleep, likely just mesmerized, and the incredibly brief pause snapped him to his senses. Seeing the other look around, he opens his second eye as well and sits up, curious as to what could've gotten the other's attention enough for him to stop playing the flute, but without going over into talking. He starts looking around too and notices Bruja nearby, wondering if she was the one who caught the other's attention.


Upon hearing Future!Nicole trying to comfort him, he seems to contemplate something, but upon noticing Sandra nearby as well, he suddenly changes the subject.

"Oh, sis! Hey!", he calls out to Sandra as Future!Nicole is waving at her.

"Hm ? Ho, Niko !"

She desactivate the chains and quickly walk toward them.

She stares silently at him.

"............. What are you looking at ?"

Once Sandra's joined them, Future!Nicole reaches out to tousle her niece's hair.

"Always nice to see ya, Sandy! If I didn't know better, I'd say that you came here to find your brother, so... mission accomplished."

She looks back at Niko.

"Say, we shouldn't be too far from where the last marker needs to be planted, right?"

"You are still a step to fast brother, settle down...", the female answer to the male. They stumble shortly as the music stops. They the steps begin anew, rising and falling with the gentle sounds of the flute - and disappearing, splashing lightly in the fountains water.

"Oh. It seems we went to far..."

Niko rubs the back of his head, looking a little sheepish.

"Hey Sandra, it's been a little while, huh?"

He then looks at Future!Nicole.

"Well, if it's around here somewhere, it should be at the lake nearby, so we should go check if there's any signs of that demon there."


Tyler smiles childishly at Bruja and tips his cap like a gentleman.

"You, miss."

Tom, meanwhile, stops playing the flute when he notices the two having stepped into the fountain. He can't help but snicker a little as he walks over to them, putting the flute inbetween his belt and pants.

"It's not often I get to meet someone so in tune with my music... to the point they'd step into water.", he says. He holds out his hand, both for a handshake and to help them get out.

"Greetings."

"Hey aunt !"

She looks at Niko.

"The demon ? You're playing some roleplay ?" she says, attempting to pull his cheek a bit.

"You're polite, I'll keep you as a pet."

"Greetings... Take a step back please, my sister may-", the male begins as he opens hs eyes, his sister taking a few steps more - and both disappear from sight, reappearing a step away from the fountain, the water for a splitsecond outlining their silhouttes. "-not have miscalculated, Shaero. I haven't put us in a wall for a a few years now. Greetings. Do excuse my little brother."

"Um, Sandra... this demon's not really a laughing matter. Didn't you actually encounter it once before with Niko and your cousin Erik? I remember your mom telling me about it once, while we were out shopping in Paris."

Future!Nicole nods to Niko.

"Let's not just stand around, then. C'mon, we can keep chatting on the way there."

Motioning for her niece and nephew to follow alongside her, she begins the walk towards the lake.

Niko smiles embarrassedly when his cheek is pulled.

"S-sis! You're embarrassing me here!", he says in a hushed voice in a pretty bad attempt to not let his aunt hear him say that. Once freed, he rubs his cheek and shakes his head.

"No, we're sorta trying to stalk that demon who killed those the family of those two kids we took in for a while. Remember that one?"

He looks at Future!Nicole as she gestures to them and starts walking again, looking at Sandra to see if she'll follow.


Tyler's childish smile turns a bit more nervous.

"Um... p-pet?"

Tom blinks when the two disappear, then notices that they're in a different location now. He quickly gets over the surprise, assuming it's teleportation, and smiles.

"Don't worry, it's alright. Say, where did you learn how to have such a precise rythm to my music? Most people I play for don't tend to have that on their own."

"Ho, that one !" she says, looking more serious and letting go of his cheek.

"You're following it ? huh k" she says, following with her hands in her pockets.

"You know that I'm only here coz mom is busy inviting that... God of Destruction to restaurants with her sis ? She's super focused on keeping his good side, it's pretty scary to see her being scared."

".... yes, like a dog. Woof."

"We are.. peculiar, so to say. We grew up with song and dance, marriage and strife, the living and the undead. We are part of the Eternal Party of Love and Satisfaction, now for 200 years... how time goes by." He stretches a bit. "Anyay, were are our manners? I am Shaero and this is my sister Shaeanor. We are what most would refer to as vampires."

They have been vampires for no more than a few months. They starte as human (and still are for about 60%0

"This god of destruction's actually powerful enough to worry your mom and all of her sisters? As in, the ones who've met and even made friends with actual gods here? Sounds a little far-fetched to me... Er, no offense, Sandy."

Future!Nicole looks at Niko.

"How much further until we reach the lake?"

Niko shows Sandra a (for him) unusually playful grin.

"You're pretty nonchalant about it, sis.", he says. Then he smiles.

"Guess that means you have a lotta trust in me."

He looks back at Future!Nicole, then glances at the map.

"We should get there in less than half a minute."

Then he looks back at Sandra, surprised, having not been around to meet or even hear about that God of Destruction.

"What? Mom, scared of someone? No way."


A sweat drop rolls down Tyler's face.

"A-ah... um... I, um, am honestly more of a... um... cat person...", he says, clearly having no idea how to get out of this scenario. He notices Yorihime, then gestures to her.

"O-oh, look! M-maybe she's a dog person! W-we should go check!"

Tom, unaware of the sticky situation his brother is in, continues to talk to the vampires.

"Oh, vampires? It's been a long time since I last met vampires.", he says, smiling. "And growing up with song and dance? We have something in common."

He chuckles.

"It's nice to meet you both. My name is Tom."

"I know that you're careful and aunt is with you, though I'll play it straight and say that leaving mom and dad to hunt for a dangerous demon is stupid as shit and I should drag yer pleading ass back home."

She looks at him.

"Though apparently you're doing it for the others so I'm just goin' to make sure that you live through it. I'll definitely be making sure to chow you out because your friends are wondering where you are."

"Well, not all gods are born equal !"

She looks at Niko.

"Well, you weren't there, of course, so she couldn't tell you but there is a godly fish man around and he's crazy strong. Like. Make aunt Ain scared strong."

"I'd like to ask him how he got so strong, maybe I could train up under him ?"

She teleport in front of the floating newcomer.

"Are you a dog person ?"

"Woah!"

"Oh... where I come from, they don't really exist. Not sure why you're asking me this out of the blue, but..." Yorihime's words are trailing.

"Not many have the fortune. Not many are ordered to hold peace. For their safety we exist." Shaero says.

Shaeanor having taken a few steps away from her brother, dreamily looks up at Yorihime and Bruja.

Future!Nicole gives Sandra a look.

"I... don't think training with this freaky fish guy sounds like the best idea, Sandy. Even if he really is as powerful and godly as you say, something tells me he's not exactly the nicest guy around if even all of the Sisters together are so concerned with staying on his good side."

She flashes a smile at Niko.

"Great. Won't be long until you finally finish setting up all of your markers."

"Yeah, and then I'll take a break from all this like I promised.", Niko says ot Future!Nicole, smiling. He then looks at Sandra, confused.

"Hey, I've been as careful as can be! I've been following it around for months and it hasn't even noticed me once!", he says. He then blinks.

"Really? My absence isn't that different from me staying at home reading books a lot. ... Okay, maybe this absence is a little longer than they're used to...", he admits. He then raises an eyebrow.

"... godly fish man? ... I think that, if he's really as strong as you say he is, then Mom's not even gonna allow you to ask to train under him. Besides, if you did it'd put, like, an enormous gap between us."

The lake should now be in sight, and Future!Nicole may actually notice that, way on the opposite side of where they are, there appears to be someone drinking from the lake water.

She better not call them over though, because the person is Devil Areui! They actually managed to find it rather than just the last place it tends to appear in!


Tyler, sighing in relief, quickly makes his way over to his brother.

"Oh, so you're, like, protectors of peace in a sense? That's noble.", Tom says, nodding approvingly. He notices Tyler, then looks back at Shaero.

"Oh, this is my brother, Tyler. Tyler, this is Shaero, a vampire."

Tyler looks pleasantly surprised.

"Oh, greetings!"

"Heh, I bet your family's gonna be relived to hear that, especially your mom," Future!Nicole says to Niko, smiling at her nephew. Her smile fades upon spotting Devil Aruei at the lake, though.

"Crap..."

She rapidly shakes her head when Sandra suggests fighting the demon.

"Yeah, no, we're not gonna fight the demon. Numbers don't mean squat with the one person they're fighting is more than powerful enough to take them down alone. Not to mention your mom would kill me if I let her kids essentially commit suicide by fighting that thing."

She moves to join her niece in whatever her hiding place is, taking Niko by the hand in order to quickly pull him along with her as she does so.

"Let's just wait until it leaves."
