Though they were pushed out of that scene, Nuri and Nadya found themselves back in the temple. It appeared that their Master wanted them here, to look around, and to see something.

'She's gone.' The Black One said softly. The White One nodded.

'Master couldn't bear to see her suffer. She could have healed our little Ava, but Ava's heart was broken.' The White One said softly. They looked at the altar.

'Master rushed to have this temple built, just for her. She loved her, because she saw so much of herself in her. We really should have brought Ava to Master when the signs of war started. Now...' She gestured to the altar, and a body on it. 'Master had to send Ava herself.'

'Did it work?' The Black One asked.

'Her eyes glowed, or where her eyes should have been. Her body glowed as well. I believe Master captured her spirit inside her own space.' The White One said.

'Will she live again?' The Black One asked quietly. They heard a rumble from deep within the temple.

'Daughters.' Both women bowed deeply. 'Please, do something with Ava's flesh. Take her to the kitchen. Turn her to ashes. I can not bare to see the empty shell.' The Black One closed her eyes.

'Kitchen?' Ivadra pondered for a moment. 'Maybe that would be best, Master. Only the ones closest to her. A tradition for the temple.'

'It will be a long time before you see her again.' The temple rumbled again. 'Her body should not rest upon this foul land!' The cry of rage turned into a cry of sorrow.

'My Ava! Oh my poor Ava! I shall build you a great place to live! A world not like this one! A world where all your sisters can hug and hold you again!'

The temple began to tremble, and both priestesses lowered themselves to the floor. They bowed deeply.

'Master is so sad. I wish we could comfort her. But how do we comfort a god?'

* * *

"We have to prevent this future! Master was so sad." Nadya said firmly.

"Then we'll ask Master to bring Ava here in the morning." Nuri pressed herself to Aila's side and reached for her hand. "We can't let her go through that pain. I don't want to see Ava die, or see Master become that sad." Nadya nodded.

"We should tell her though. A place where Ava can live again, so when she is older, Master can move her there. Make her perfectly safe." Nadya said, and lightly rubbed Aila's belly. "It's my turn to cushion her head." Nuri pouted. "I won't get to do this soon. Master will entrust them to our care." Nuri blushed.

"Yeah. Aren't we blessed?" Nuri said and snuggled in closer. Nadya nodded.

"What did you think of the temple?" Nadya asked.

"Big. The Black One and the White One were there, both served Master at the altar." Nuri said.

"That altar." Nadya looked at her sister. "When do you think Master will build it?"

"I don't know. Maybe after she builds Haven? She has to have a place to put us when she remakes us. I want her to Offer me." Nadya sighed.

"Yeah, us close companions should be Offered to our Master by our Master. We are already dedicated to her. It's only right she eats us." Nadya said.

"She doesn't eat us. It's something else. She might eat a piece or two, but not all of us. She doesn't need all of us. Just the space, core, and our consciousness. Maybe the others should eat us." That part was highlighted in Nuri's mind. Aila did not want their bodies to be soiled by this world due to its corruption. Alara and Ivadra both believed that they shouldn't be turned to ash, so being consumed by their closest friends and family would be the alternative. "I think it would be sexy." Nuri said softly. Nadya poked her sister.

"Sexy. Being bitten. I guess it might look like it. I wonder if Master can change us so we like being bitten. If we heal, and we like being bitten, it can be kind of fun feeding Ava, or Elena." Nuri poked her.

"Bad girl. Sigh. I want Master to bite me. No, I want her to kiss me! Nadya! Now you got me thinking about it!" Nuri pouted, and didn't notice that Aila was awake, and listening.

Build a temple, and a Haven. Within her mind, the idea had been there for a long time, but it came with a problem. This world is where she belonged, and it needed a lot of attention. Instead of a separate planet, why not a separate plane? That thought reverberated like a drum, and made her think.

Ava. The name of that special young woman flashed within her mind. The ground under town of Aros rumbled as she tugged a bit on the earth elements under the foundations of the town. It was a quick reminder of what she could do if she became angry enough, and removed her own moral limiters.

'Ivadra. Alara.'

'Eep, y-yes, Master?' Ivadra said as she felt Aila's power enter her mind.

'Bring Ava. She's not safe there. There is someone here who wants to mother her, and is more suited to do it then anyone else.' Aila's mental voice sent out shock waves of elemental energy, and all the spirit beasts of the forest felt it.

The bears, wolves, and boars all decided to give that manor a wide berth. There was a monster living there.

* * *

'Nadya, Nuri, come outside.' Nuri yawned and rose up from the bed. She frowned.

'Master, when did you get up? You left us alone on our night!' She felt her mind get invaded gently.

'I had some things to do. Come on. Wake up Nadya, get washed up, and come downstairs.' Aila said quietly. Her subdued mental voice concerned Nuri.

'Master, is something wrong?'

'Not yet. Now be obedient, little one.' Nuri pursed her lips, but blushed as her Master's warm voice gently washed over her senses. Nuri was tall, heavy chested, and pillowy soft, but Aila called her 'little one' as though it was a simple fact in her eyes. Her Master's care and gentle handling made her feel more feminine, and less like an unattractive boar many had accused her of being in the past.

'I'm going to smother you with my boobs later for getting up early if you don't give me a good reason.' She waited. 'Oh, you want me to do that. Naughty Master.' She heard a soft chuckle.

'Get up, little one. Get up.' A warm wind gust lifted the blanket at the edge. Aila had become used to this little battle in the mornings.

Every single one of her servants, after they slept in her bed, all had trouble rising in the morning. No one wanted their night to end, so she had to sneak out of the bed in order to break the death grip they had on the blankets. Each of them loved to be as close as possible, so there were no exceptions.

A little while later, both Nuri and Nadya came down the stairs, and went outside. To their surprise, a carriage pulled up as soon as they came out the door.

Nuri was shocked when she saw the guards for Underground Black open the carriage door, and both the Black One, and the Seer stepped out. After that, Ava stepped out under her own power.

"Master, we have brought Ava, as ordered." Ava blushed as Ivadra spoke. Ava stepped in front of Aila, and was shocked when she was lifted into Aila's arms and hugged tightly.

"M-Master?"

"I can't take the chance, little water baby. I can't take the chance. All the possible futures I've seen, not one is where you live, unless you're here." Within her mind, Ava felt a gentle prodding to open her door, so she opened it.

'I have a person I'd like you to meet, little one. Someone who can give you the thing you most desperately need.' She turned the shocked girl towards Nadya.

"Nadya, this is Ava. Your new daughter."
