The reflection in the mirror showed me the beautiful dress that Kristen had made for me, a small smile appeared on my features as I admired the dress. It was a backless white dress with gold embroidery that was designed to resemble flowers. My fingers traced the diamonds that decorated the dress, hoping that they weren't real. "Ah! My beautiful girl.", smiled Kristen, kissing my head.

I thanked her again as she started to style my hair; she was very gentle and reminded me so much of my mother. "Mistress, is the King of the East strict?", I asked. Kristen giggled and reassured me that the king was a great man. "I met him as a child before his father passed, such a lovely child.", sighed Kristen. My mind relaxed a little knowing that the King wasn't a hard person to approach.

"His friends might be another issue.", laughed Kristen. Thoughts flooded my mind as those words echoed in my mind, Kristen smiled knowingly before she continued. "They're not ones to talk about themselves... Dream is the oldest and a great Hunter, he goes by many names but Dream should be fine with him. Sapnap is the best Alchemist in their kingdom and is equally as ruthless as Dream when it comes to protecting George. Don't be intimated by him, he's a good boy.", smiled Kristen. I took that to heart since that reassured me that I wouldn't have problems with them.

Kristen hummed as she put white flowers in my hair, complimenting how lovely they looked on me. Philza came into the room and smiled at us. "I'm not sure I should take our lovely apprentice to the celebration, Kristen...", joked Philza. My Mistress smacked his shoulder playfully and winked at me. "You better have fun. If anyone messes with you turn them into a rat, as I showed you.", she smirked, amusement in her eyes. I nodded before Philza told me it was time to go; I walked out and was complimented by the boys.

I followed Philza outside while everyone followed us to say their farewells. "(Y/n), would you like to officially become part of our family?", he asked. There was a blood oath that one did to become part of others families, a knot formed in my throat before I nodded. Kristen and Wilbur chuckled before Philza cut the palm of his hand with his nail, he did the same for my palm and began to chant. It was an old language but very beautiful, a green glow surrounded us and the overwhelming feeling of joy. There was a sudden pain in my back before my eyes landed on a set of wings that had sprouted. They were a beautiful shade of white with gold lightly decorating the ends.

"Welcome to the family, you are now officially my daughter.", smiled Philza. Kristen ran over and hugged us along with my brothers, I didn't feel out of place with them. Carefully, Philza pulled me up and showed me how to fly, all my fear washing away with the warm wind that blew. Once I was confident enough, Philza let go of my hands, I flew around and enjoyed my new limbs. "When you get back, we're going to race around!", grinned Wilbur, flying around me. Tommy protested from the ground as he demanded to fly with us. "That's enough, off you two! You'll be late to the celebration.", chuckled Kristen, carrying Tommy and heading back inside. We waved and flew in the direction to the Kingdom of the East, which I learned was named Triox.

"Father, thank you for letting me accompany you.", I smiled, as we flew. The word came out naturally as it belonged to the God next to me. His family was my family now and my gratitude was always overflowing for this chance I had received. It was nothing new for him to hear this word leave my lips, as on occasion it would slip making my Masters giggle. Philza brought me in for a hug, strong yet it was overflowing with love and warmth. "It was about time you got comfortable.", he teased.

A strong gust of wind surprised us, Philza kept me close before he chuckled. I tilted my head and yelped as I saw a man with gold-colored wings smiling at us. He had black hair with a crown of blue forget-me-nots and beautiful tan skin that reminded me of warm summer days by the lake. His eyes were full of warmth and his smile made you feel like you had known him all your life.

"Greetings Philza and Childe of Philza.", grinned the man. I smiled and gave him a small wave, Philza did the same before the man flew closer. That's when I noticed his companion, a taller male with chocolate-colored hair. His shy eyes were a soft gray and filled with an unknown aura. He stayed close to the shorter man, a beautiful crown of pink forget-me-nots decorated his head.

"(Y/n), this is Quackity. God of the Winds and his partner, Karl. God of Memories.", smirked Philza. I was astonished and felt embarrassed that I didn't show any respect to either God since they were the highest tier of anything to exist. "I'm very so-", Quackity took my hands and gave me a small twirl in the air. "Philza, God of Mischief, why didn't you tell me you had such a beautiful daughter?", he complimented. Karl giggled and took my hands, asking if he could take a look at my wings.

Philza chuckled and asked if the couple would join us at George's celebrations. "Only if you let us dance with your daughter!", smiled Karl. I looked at Philza and he chuckled as he gave me approval. "I'd love to!", I smiled. A warm gust of wind danced around us and we all laughed before heading out.

The lack of security in the kingdom worried me, Karl patted my arm and explained that very few crimes ever happened in Triox. We arrived at the castle and entered among the guest. I was astonished by the many types of people from around the nation. I had my arm hooked around Philza's since I didn't want to become lost in the large castle. We entered the throne room and Sapnap ran over to kiss both Quackity and Karl. Philza explained that they were all lovers, which was something obvious with Sapnaps flower crown of white forget-me-nots.

I wonder why they wear those...

My focus was now on the beautifully decorated room for the grand event; we walked over and placed a small box on a table with many gifts before we headed over to the throne. There I saw a boy a bit younger than me, sitting and looking around the room. His expression was solemn but once his eyes landed on Philza, he smiled.

"Philza, I'm so glad to see you! I see that you also brought those lovebirds with you!", he beamed. He came over and noticed me; I was about to bow before he bowed to us. The room seemed to stop and the guests followed suit in his action. He lifted his head and grinned. "To have five Gods come to my celebration is truly a blessing.", he said.

There are two more Gods besides Karl, Quackity, and Philza? Wait! Does he mean me???

"Thank you for the invitation, George.", smiled Philza. He signaled me to come closer and I did. "This is my Eldest daughter, (Y/n). She's also my disciple; along with the rest of my children.", chuckled Philza. George smiled before taking my hand and placing his forehead against it. "May I have your blessing?", he asked, sweetly. I didn't know how to respond until Philza gave me a small pat on my shoulder.

"Of course, King George.", I smiled. He blushed before kissing my hand and smiling. "Thank you, please enjoy yourselves!", he chimed before walking over to his friend and his lovers. Philza grinned and asked for a dance, which I accepted. "Father... I am not a Goddess...", I whispered. Philza laughed as we dance, moving us gracefully through the people. "That's okay, my dear! The fun part is no one would suspect, just look at you. You're absolutely stunning and you've earned your wings.", he smiled proudly. His words made me glow with pride, nothing made me happier than to make Kristen and him proud.

Once the song ended, I was snatched away by Karl. We laughed and danced around Quackity, who waited his turn. "Can we dance now?", asked Quackity, pressing his fingers together cutely. I laughed and took his hands before we danced around. Sapnap and Karl danced next to us, bumping us to their amusement. "Hey! Be nice!", barked Quackity. His partners only giggled at his demands, Sapnap switched with Quackity and thanked me for coming. "For an Alchemist, I'm surprised you have two Gods as lovers.", I teased. Sapnap blushed and mumbled under his breath, only making him more adorable in my eyes.

A glimpse of sudden darkness distracted me, it was lost as quickly as I had seen it. "Are you okay?", asked Sapnap. I nodded and we kept dancing until the song ended. I sat down with Philza, talking with him about how much fun this was. "More fun than running around in the forest?", asked Philza. My head immediately gave him a no, to me nothing was better than the beautiful forest of Alieus.

"I'll be back shortly, George wants me to check on something important. Don't cause too much trouble.", winked Philza. I giggled because that meant I should cause as much mischief as possible. After folding my wings neatly against my back, I decided to explore around. "Need some company?", asked a familiar voice. I looked up to see the masked Hunter from before. "Dream! It's nice to see you again!", I smiled. He gently took my hand before removing his mask, his green eyes looked into mine.

"May I have your blessing?"
