(Y/n) woke from her rest to see Norway sitting beside her and Iceland, the male was reading a book.
"Lillesøster, why did you take such a risk for Luxembourg's dog?", Norway asked.
The albino looked to the dog sleeping on her legs, "I wanted to help him by caring for Pelutze."
The female sat upright and petted the dog, Pelutze snored lightly.
"You wanted to help your boyfriend?", Norway inquired.
The albino female's cheeks turned bright pink, "He's not my boyfriend."
She saw Norway smile a little at teasing her.
"Storebror, don't tease.", the silvery-white haired female said and covered her face.
She could hear the Norwegian chuckle at her.
"So, can you tell us what happened?", The blond Norwegian asked.

"I was looking for Pelutze when I heard someone in Luxembourg's office. When I went to investigate, I saw those Baltic mercenaries going through his things. Taris found me first and tried to subdue me but I fought back.", (y/n) explained to the males, "The other two heard me and tried to subdue me. I took care of Taris and the other one. Edman..."
She trailed off and rubbed her wrists.
"Forced you to kiss him.", Norway said and the female nodded, "Disgusting man."
The albino nodded again, Iceland tapped her shoulder.
"Can you show us some of the spells you learned from Dracul?", The platinum haired male asked.
"I guess I could.", the female said with a small smile, "But are you sure it is safe to do so?"
"We could use Dan as the test dummy.", Norway suggested.
(Y/n) looked at him with a face of mixed emotion, mostly of disbelief and shock.
"I was joking.", the blond Norwegian finally said.
"It is hard to tell when you are.", Iceland responded, "You can just tell us what you can do now."
"Well...", the silvery-white haired female began, "It can electrocute things and make illusions."

Norway raised his eyebrows, "It's this how you escaped those Baltic mercenaries?"
(Y/n) nodded to him, "Plus do a little ice and fire magic."
Iceland looked at his brother then back at the female, his brother did the same.
"Sounds like you have also grown in power. Making enough of an electric charge to kill someone is not a beginner's task.", The Norwegian spoke, "But I am proud that you have grown stronger."
She nodded again and looked to the dog on her lap, the curly haired pup was now awake and watching her with his tail wagging.
"Pelutze is your responsibility since he is your boyfriend's dog.", Norway said and got up.
"Luxxy is not my boyfriend!", the young woman shouted after him as he walked away.
Iceland got up and walked away as well, he seemed to be in a little pain.
He was, his legs were asleep.

-

Thurston returned home empty, in both hands and heart.
He was longing for (y/n), he felt sad for the first time since his adopted mother died.
The Finn stripped his blood covered clothes off and walked to the shower, the hot water sprayed over his body.
Water ran over his lean muscles and scarred skin, soaked his hair as he leaned on the side of the shower.
He sighed and started to wash his body.
The scarlet eyed Finn remembered the time she let him kiss her sweetly, her giving him the kiss back.
How much more loving she could have been if only she stayed with them.
He let the water rinse off the lather and dirt from his skin.

Memories of her only made him more unhappy, he wanted her in his arms and to give her love.
She was in a big and dangerous world with many scary and evil things, the Finn only wanted to protect her from those dangers.
To have her with him and protect her, kiss her, love her. That is what he wanted, what he craved.
Kisses, cuddles and more would be all hers if she had only stayed.
Thurston washed his hair and let the water rinse it out before stepping out of the shower to dry off.
He remembered how wonderful it was to hold (y/n) as they shared a bed, she was so soft and warm. She felt amazing in his arms.
He made his way to his room and put on a new fresh outfit, his bed was calling for him.
The brunet Finn fell onto the bed, the covers fell about the man. He pulled the covers over him and fell asleep.

Magnus came in to check on his adopted brother, the Finn was taking this badly.
The blond Dane saw that his adopted brother was already asleep, he closed the door and walked back to his office.
He sat back down at his desk and picked his pen back up to fill out paperwork.
Bernard had looked into what happened to their mother's followers.
Turns out, they were either dead or old and insane. Their followers were no more.
Magnus filled the last paper out and tapped the pen on his desk, he heard the sound of Loki returning home.
The burned Norwegian held some female clothing items in his hands and was walking by the office.
"Loki, how was the meeting with your magic allies?", the blond Dane asked his younger brother.
"Dracul was hiding Kanin from us.", The Norwegian answered, "Her hair and clothes were there."
Magnus felt angered by this knowledge, Dracul was an ally for a long time. He helped them to make their doubles lives horrible.

"Where is he now?", The blond Dane asked.
"Gone.", Loki answered, "He most likely went to where he hid Kanin and tell her to escape again."
"And what about Oliver?", the blue eyed Dane asked.
Loki sneered, "I fought him. Beat him."
Magnus nodded and set his pen down, "I can only assume she is with Malthe, Seeing as Luxembourg's death was carried out by Thurston. He should not be back for a while."
The burned Norwegian sat on the chair in front of his brother's desk, "Bernard was talking to one of the old cult members before he died. The guy's family disowned him for following mor."
Magnus nodded at his brother's statement.
"That means we have little to no help in getting Kanin back. Especially now that mor is gone, we lost much leverage.", Loki continued.

Magnus sat back in his chair and placed the tips of his fingers together, "Loki, take Drage and scout the peninsula. Your dragon should still have her scent memorized."
Loki slapped his forehead, "I'm dumb, I'll do that tomorrow after some rest."
"Egil is speaking to some of his acquaintances, hopefully they will be willing to keep an eye out for activity.", The blond Dane said, "But, seeing as Dracul was keeping her from us. There may be more."
Loki sighed, "Got it. I'm going to bed. Godnat Maggie."
"Shut up Loki.", was the answer.
The Norwegian went to bed and Magnus got up for food and coffee, Bernard and Egil had not yet returned home.
Magnus waited for his brothers to return, the Icelandic male returned first.
He had a frown on his face, "My acquaintances refuse the offer."
"As usual. We have do do things on our own.", The blond Dane sighed and gave the small Icelandic male some coffee, "Good work though."

Egil took the coffee and sipped it, the little male's eye closed as he tasted the coffee.
"It was sweeter when Kanina was here.", the male whined.
Magnus nodded and took another drink of his, he heard Bernard walk in and shut the door.
The swede did not get dinner and went straight to bed.
The Dane notes all the habits of his siblings and the new changes that were occuring.
Egil went to the library to catch up some reading, Magnus went to get some exercise.

-

(Y/n) spent some time healing Pelutze of his injuries.
The dog just sat happily on her lap as she soothed his pain.
Malthe walked into the room and watched the dog be healed, "You are getting rather good with your magic."
The albino looked at her father, "Thank you far, I have been practicing."
The blond man walked over and patted her shoulder, his kind smile made her feel better.
"Far, did you know a man named Luciano?", (y/n) asked and saw her father's face fell.
"You were sold to your brothers once by him, right?", her father asked and got a nod in reply, "Yes, I know him. About him mostly, I could not really talk to him. Lutz was easier to talk to."

"Lutz told me that Luciano admired mor.", The female told her father, "That he wanted to start a partnership with her. But she kept rejecting him and died after I was born."
Malthe sat next to his daughter, "Your mother did many things that she regretted when she died. She has left many many messes that you might have to resolve. But one of her greatest regrets was letting Luciano know her power and the cult that she had."
(Y/n) held the brown dog as her father spoke to her, the dog wagged as she petted him.
"Far, will I ever be able to have a somewhat normal life?", The female asked.
Her father did not respond, she knew what that meant.
She would never have a normal life.
"I'm sorry (y/n). I should have told you sooner.", Malthe said, "I should have done more to protect you."
The Scandinavian female felt her father's muscular arms hug her.
The same loving hug he gave her whenever the nightmares happen, the same hug when she was bullied by kids for being albino, the same hug from after she first was scared by her brothers.
The loving hug that only a father could give her.

"Malthe, Lillesøster.", The voice of Norway broke them from their hug, "It's time for Lillesøster to show us what she learned from Dracul."
(Y/n) got up and followed Norway, he led her to the yard. The sun was beginning to set, it was a perfect time for her to show her magic.
Romania was there as well, he gave the female a friendly wave.
"Good to see you again!", He greeted with a smile.
"Likewise.", the albino replied.
Iceland stood off to the side with his phone out, Mr. Puffin sat on his head as they watched the female be shown where to stand.
"All you have to do is use your magic and show us what you learned, you can attack us but try not to kill us please.", Romania explained.

"Storebror, are you sure you want me to do this?", (y/n) asked and got a nod from Norway.
She could hear Iceland mumble something but did not ask him what he said.
The albino woman too a deep breath then exhaled before letting out a small ice blast towards norway, he easily caught it.
"Good form for a beginner.", Norway commented, "But add a little more energy next time, I want it to at least sting when I catch it."
(Y/n) nodded and quickly let off an electric discharge to Romania.
The Romanian was surprised by the sudden discharge but took the hit easily.
"Now that stung!", he said with a small laugh, "I am still tingling!"
The red haired romanian's hair was standing straight up from static.
The Scandinavian female started to laugh at his hair, "you look a little like Dan!"
She heard Norway chuckle and a small laugh from iceland.
Romania felt his hair and started to laugh, "Okay, you got me."

"Alright, that's enough fun. Please continue.", Norway said and got (y/n)'s attention.
She could see the other Nordics coming out to watch her practice with her teacher and storebror.
The female nodded and continued.
For about two hours she practiced and got tips from the two males who were teaching her.
Norway had a few new cuts and bruises, Romania had some as well.
(Y/n) took them aside and healed them when they were done.
"I want to see you get even more strong when I come back to visit.", Romania said with a smile, "You have done very well."
The albino female nodded and bidded her teacher goodbye.
Sweden patted her back, "Dinner then bed."
Iceland took his phone back to his room with his puffin following him.
The albino did go inside and eat dinner with her family before getting ready for bed.

She noticed no room for her.
A thought came to her, she could ask Norway.
He never minded with sharing, Denmark would be open to helping her as well.
She weighed whether Finland would mind too or if Sweden would let her join him.
A small sigh escaped her lips.
She had to ask someone.
The female noticed Iceland walk by, would he be open to the idea?
"Iceland?", (y/n) spoke softly to get his attention.
He turned to her, "Hm?"
"Would you mind of we shared a room?", she asked and looked down sheepishly.
The platinum haired male waved for her to follow him to his room, she did and found that he had the sheets pulled back and ready for them to get in.
She quietly got into the bed and felt Iceland join her silently.

His warmth was comfortable and she silently fell into sleep beside him.
Iceland on the other hand was wide awake still and wondering if this was the best thing, if he really should have let her or let her go to Norway.
The violet eyed icelander rolled onto his side to see her fast asleep and had her hand softly on his arm, he put his arm over her and closed his eyes.
He was happy that he was getting warmed up to her, she was a good sibling.
He closed his violet eyes and enjoyed the warmth between them.

-

Thurston was awoken by the roar of the furnace, Drage must be hungry.
The Finnish man got up and walked down to find Loki dragging a whole cow to the pit to feed the beast, his scarlet eyes watched the Norwegian throw the cow down the pit.
Crunching of bone was followed by another roar, "That's enough for now Drage! We have to keep you light so you can fly!"
Thurston looked down at the pit then to Loki, "Flying mission today?"
"Ja, want to come?", the Norwegian asked.
The Finn nodded.
"Good, Go pack some food and drinks for us. We're going for a long flight.", The dull Amethyst eyed male said, "I'll get the big guy ready."
The scarlet eyed Finn nodded and went to the kitchen to prepare for their flight.

He returned with a large bag packed with ready to eat food and a large thermos filled with their drink.
He found the Norwegian petting the dragon while they waited in the yard,
"You really know how to prepare.", Loki smiled, "Let me guess, some treats for Drage are in that bag too?"
"Joo.", the Finn answered and climbed onto the dragon's back, "Let's go."
"I'm surprised you are coming with me.", the burned Norwegian said as he climbed onto the dragon, "You usually don't want to go in flying missions."
"I need to get my mind focused on something to keep myself from going on a killing rampage again.", the Finn admitted.
"It's a scouting mission, so your sharp eyes and Drage's nose will be useful for it.", the burned man said and tapped the dragon.

The dragon stretched his wings and took off, the dragon straightened out and flew smoothly.
The clouds slipped by the bodies of the men as they flew, Thurston was glad he wore his jacket today.
"Loki.", The Finn spoke, "We are tracking (y/n)?"
"Ja, her or someone who might know where she is.", Loki answered, "It's nice and peaceful up here."
Thurston looked around and noticed how quiet and calm the surroundings were, "You are right, it is nice up here."
The Norwegian stretched and touched the clouds, "Brr. Cold."
Loki shook his hand to warm it up, Drage made a low growling sound that caught the attention of the two males.
"You got something?", The burned man asked his large reptilian friend and got a growl in return, "Hold on Thurston!"

The Finn held tight as the dragon tucked his wings in to dive towards the ground below, he looked to the ground and saw a city below them.
The dragon opened his wings suddenly and slowed his descent.
He rose back into the sky to await orders from loki, the burned man patted the dragon.
"Stay up here, we'll scout below.", The burned man said and warped down with Thurston.
The two began to scout around for any sign of the albino woman.
The Finn stopped in front of a bridal shop, the beautiful white dresses caught his eye. How much of a goddess would his beloved look like with one of those on?
It would be a shame to destroy one so beautiful on the honeymoon.
He felt a tap on his head, "You're daydreaming."
Loki was grinning at the cranky Finn.
"Shut up Loki.", Thurston huffed, "Let's get back to work."

-

(Y/n) had woken up with Iceland hugging close to her and a smile on his sleeping face, he looked so cute and peaceful.
The Scandinavian got up carefully so she would not disturb the male.
She slipped into her father's room and took a sundress from the bag he packed for her, she went to the bathroom and put it on.
She brushed her hair out and walked downstairs where Finland was.
"Good morning finland.", The female greeted and the Finn turned to smile at her.
"Good morning!", the male smiled, "Do you need something to drink?"
"I'll get some coffee, thank you.", The female replied and got the drink.

She was sipping the coffee when Norway came down, he saw the female and smiled.
"Good work with your spells yesterday, I am proud of you.", The male said.
"Thank you storebror.", (y/n) responded, "I wanted to ask you something."
"Go ahead.", the male said.
"I was wondering if I could go visit Gilen and Lutz.", the female spoke.
Norway almost choked on his coffee before settling himself down, "Visit Gilen?"
He looked to the female and saw her nod.
"I would say to go Tuesday and Wednesday.", the Norwegian said.
"Why Tuesday and Wednesday specifically?", the red-violet female asked.
"Luciano is not there those days.", came the answer, "It would be safer for you to go then."

"How do you know so much about his habits?", The female asked.
Norway looked her in the eye, "It was a task we had to know back in the day, it is better if you did not know why."
"Okay, can I go say hello?", the female asked, "It is Wednesday."
"No.", Norway answered, "But we can go shopping together. Think of it as a sibling bonding day."
(Y/n) nodded and held his hand after he put his mug down, his cool skin rubbed against her.
He took her out to shop after breakfast, the Norwegian kept his hand on hers.
Her smaller hand gripped his softly, they walked through the town with little care.
Norway kept watch but other than that they were happy.

(Y/n) stopped in front of a bridal shop window, the dresses were so pretty.
Norway stood beside her, "You might be wearing one of those one day."
The albino blushed after he said that, "Perhaps."
"You would look beautiful in one.", the blond man said with a small smile, "But you look cute with almost anything."
The silvery-white haired woman blushed more, "Hush you."
Norway smiled and kissed the top of her head, "I love you Lillesøster."
She looked down and pouted before walking away with Norway, unaware of the Dragon above them.
It was a few hours she spent with Norway, his cool hand kept her from overheating.
He helped her to stay out of the sun.

She felt the area as a whole grow hotter.
Norway held her hand tighter, he felt something was wrong.
"(Y/n), escape now.", The platinum blond Norwegian spoke lowly, "We are being watched."
She nodded and felt a small twinge of pain as if fingers were pinching her neck, she felt Norway let go of her hand.
The pinching did not go away.
The Norwegian was looking for whoever was watching them, "(y/n), go home now."
"If you insist Lukie.", A familiar taunting voice said from right behind the pair.

Norway turned and his eyes widened, "(Y/n)!"
