Ian fell asleep. After playing with the wolf tribe kid for a long time, he was exhausted both mentally and physically.
It was the first time Ian had to deal with a kid that actually behaved like a kid, playful, unrestrained and way too energetic.
As he fell asleep from exhaustion, Ian thanked the heavens for making his kids so mature and thoughtful. He was talking about Ash, Lucas and the others of course. They were all his kids.
But Ian's sleep was over just as quickly as he had fallen asleep. Since his three familiars were working hard inside his body, all of his fatigue disappeared in the span of a few hours.
Yaawwwnnn...
As he stretched his body after waking up and sitting straight, he could feel something small beside him.
Ian looked to the side and was surprised to find the wolf kid sleeping beside him on the same bed. He
Inside a tree house in the middle of the forest.Ash and his mother, the queen of the demons, were facing each other. The other's inside the room, including Ian, was watching the scene unfold with great curious."Didn't I ask you not to come so soon?"Ash asked an unusual question. And before Ian could figure out the meaning behind his words, he made eye contact with the queen by chance. The queen smiled mischievously after Ash asked those questions. And as for Ian.."Huh?What??What do you mean by that?!"He was a confused mess. Ian looked between Ash and the queen simultaneously wanting an explanation of the situation."Why did you come?Going as far as revealing my identity.. It better be an emergency."Ash was glaring at his mother as he spoke those words one
"It was my selfish wish to not give you the answers that you deserved to know and keep you by my side."Ian smiled as he spoke those words, traces of sadness that no one knew the source of visible in his smile. Ash wondered what made Ian look at him with such expression but couldn't figure out."Anyways! You're not mad at me for hiding your identity, right?"Ian snapped out of the gloomy atmosphere that he had surrounding him for a second and asked back, cheerful once again.Ash looked shocked by the speed of his transformation and shook his head impulsively."So you're not mad? You sure?"Ian asked once again, this time, giving Ash the chance to answer properly. Even Ian found it funny how Ash was panicking and answering on whims."I'm not mad. I also hid it from you so I don't even have the right to be mad."&nb
It was late at night.Ash and the kids inside had fallen asleep after having their dinner.Ian and the Queen decided to have a talk so they went out. Since they didn't want to go somewhere far from the kids, they decided to sit down on the root of the huge tree that Ian had built the house on."So that's how things have been.. "The Queen sighed and sat down. She looked relieved for some reason."What do you mean?"Ian asked, curious."The things my son said.. about you knowing his race and still supporting him, guiding him, caring for him.. It all sounded too unreal before.""That's understandable.."'If I wasn't someone from another world but the original Adrian, he would've only felt irritated at seeing Ash dying by the ditch.And if they figured out
"How long.. till we reach the next village?"The Queen asked, wiping the sweat off her forehead with the handkerchief provided by Ian."Another hour or so.."Ian took a glance at her and answered. He thought she'd have no trouble keeping up with them since she was incredibly strong. But the problem lay elsewhere."So you were saying.. there's no sun in your world?"It was the first time that she had come into contact with such humid and hot atmosphere. So her discomfort was natural."Yes. We only have, what you call a Moon, but two of them."Ian imagined the demon world where no sun existed. It was a dark and cold place with only two Moon circling around them. The dimly light world of the demons were one of the main reason why their constitution was so different from the humans.'Wonder how the primary pro
The last day of their travel before reaching the destination. Ian took the kids to have dinner in the best restaurant that the town had. He wanted go give them a feast for enduring so long and not complaining even once throughout the whole journey. In fact, it was actually Ian who did the complaining once in a while. Specially when the weather was too hot or humid. "This restaurant looks similar to the ones back home." Ash mentioned and then covered his mouth as if he had just said something he shouldn't have/ wasn't allowed to. When the kid tried to take a peak at Ian's expression after he mentioned the word 'home' by mistake, he found Ian looking at his direction as well. "Was it the first one? That I took you to." Ian asked, praising Ash's amazing memory internally. He had vi
"A cat..?" Ian tilted his head in confusion as he looked at the person in front of him. Flick His eyes unintentionally went towards the two cat-like ears on top of their head. Swish. And just as unintentionally, it went down towards the tail that was peeking out from behind that person. Since the surrounding was too dark, he couldn't figure out the colour of their hair, but Ian was sure of one thing. 'Someone from the cat tribe?' "Calling a member of the cat tribe a cat.. Are you making fun of us?" The guy made a defensive comment right from the start, just like a cat. Ian could imagine them hissing at him if he called them a cat one more time. "But aren't you a cat?" And he did. Playing with stray cats was a favourite pastime of Ian. 
"We're having breakfast so early in the morning?"The kids looked suspiciously towards Ian when he woke them all up early in the morning, telling them to go have breakfast with him.First of all, Ian wasn't an early riser.Secondly, he usually had a bad temper in the morning so he preferred to stay quiet for a while.Waking up early and as energetic as he was being, was definitely suspicious."What are you planning brother?"Ash asked as the other's waited for an answer attentively."Plan? What plan? I'm simply feeling extra hungry today. That's all."Ian had no other choice but to hurry since Oliver requested him to do so repeatedly. He had to go back to his team soon so he didn't have much time in hand.Ian made the other's get ready, except the Queen since she was always ready, and they left the Inn.Leaving the Inn while it already had a restaurant in the first floor, that m
Ian and his party was in the middle of having their breakfast when Ian started noticing something. They were all making small talks about this and that. Even Oliver was taking part in them since the others started expressing their curiosity about him. Up untill then, everything was normal. And it didn't look like anything was out of place. Except. 'It's moving again..' Ian thought to himself as he glanced at Oliver's ears. He noticed that everytime Louis spoke, Oliver's ears twitched. It was definitely subconscious and Oliver didn't seem to have any idea about that. 'I guess it's true then.. The familiarity he was talking about..' "So you're from the city which is considered the capital for cat tribes?" Louis and Lucas looked specially curious as they learned many new things about their own race and tribe. Ian wo
