Journal Aludra's Journal "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way." - Psalms 25:9
___I've taken my studies of bible verses to a higher level as of recently, more interested in finding things relevant to my situation, as well as that of my friends and relatives; the biological ones, I mean. The demons, the angels, the hybrids. Selfishly, it has been me that I've been focusing on, if only to find a solution to the crippling failure of my combination.
___"But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace." - Psalms 37:11
___Sorts of notes such as these, however, are no more than temptation, wearing thin the minimal control I have over my sin, over my own desires. The meek shall inherit the earth, the 'meek' being those of my own virtuous design. And yet it alters my virtue by making my greed act up even more...
___"Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips." - Proverbs 27:2
___Properly, I do not praise myself,in that I've never felt a real need to do so. I've never believed that I deserved such a thing, after all...
___"Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the LORD, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life." - Jeremiah 45:5
___But... regardless of how humble, I sh-should refrain from greed. I should cease giving into my constant want or I'll lead myself down the path of sin... right? I must... must be humble in all walks of life, and that is the truth. My possessions form a sense of pride, in them as well as in myself for gaining them... that's.. but that's not alright. Pride, as the base of all sins, is the worse of them... I shouldn't... I shouldn't.
___The poor, the humble, th... the meek. Humility is the opposite of pride, pride is the basis of all the sins, thereby meaning that it is the base of greed, pride being the opposite of humility means that greed is as well, whic.. wh. -Aludra Wezen By'arre

Noah could hear the coughing fit from all the way down the hall, glancing up from his book with a look of concern. He slipped out of bed, patting his tuckered-out lover on the head and slipping into a pair of pajama bottoms. He brushed his hair back with one hand as he headed out the door and down the hall, tapping at Aludra's door with the back of his hand. Since Adhara and her... early maturity, he'd changed his mind about the no-door-until-teenager rule, and had prettymuch decided to let the kids have doors as soon as he trusted them. There was no response but the sound of coughing and harsh gasping.
Brown eyes widening slightly, he tried to push the door open, swearing angrily when it was locked, especially given Aludra was not supposed to have a lock on his door at all. Noah pounded on it harder, visibly freaking out about it at this point. "Aludra? Aludra! Open the door!" he demanded, only to get the response of pathetic whimpering and what sounded like an attempt to open the door, a brief scraping of the nails against the inner portion of the door.
"Aludra, get away from the door," Noah stated seriously. He wasn't exactly strong, and was on the more scrawny end of things, but that didn't mean that he couldn't break a flimsy lock on his son's door. It took a few tries before he got it open, panic rising in his throat with each passing second, not at all helped by the lack of drugs in his system, but he managed to break the weakened wood, revealing one of the most heartwrenching sights he'd seen to-date.
Aludra was shaking, trembling violently, sitting on his knees with his hands on the ground and groaning pathetically. Every breath he took in seemed to make the shakes worse, only a fraction of a second passing before he started coughing again, blood and saliva dripping to the floor, tears following after. Noah couldn't help the pause before he finally dropped to his knees, helping haul Aludra to his feet and from there lift the boy into his arms with a decent amount of difficulty. He kicked on the door to his own bedroom to wake Silas up, panting and obviously panicking.
"Silas! Get up now, get Lir, get her dressed, then call Adhara and tell her to drive over here. I'm calling 9-11."

Lirona sat quite impatiently in the waiting room of the hospital, remnants of worried tears streaked down her face as she nervously watched the evening news on the television, if anything for something to do. Still, ever few seconds she glanced over to the hallway that, somewhere, Aludra lay down.
The spawn shuddered, a dry sob running through her as she remembered the unkind terms that had woken her up. She had been startled awake by the kicking down of one door, and had peeked out of her room just in time to see the ambulance people carry Aludra - her Aludra - out on a stretcher. With blood all over his chest. It was lucky she had come out when she had, otherwise stupid Silas and Noah probably would have forgotten to tell her. Hell, they more than likely would have just hoped that she'd never find out. But nope, here she was, worried out of her mind just like a real spouse.
After six eternities, a male nurse approached where the five of them were and said that they could go in and see him. Predictably, Lirona was at the head of the party, fidgeting almost manically as her tentacle swayed back and forth, as if looking for Aludra itself. When they finally got to his room, Lir called out timidly, wondering if he was asleep. Or even ******** conscious. "Um... Al-Al-Aludra...?"
Thankfully for Lir, Aludra so happened to be conscious, at least somewhat. Conscious with tubes going into his lungs and pumped full of painkillers, of course; whatever form of conscious that was. He whined like a child at the crowding of the rest of his family members, tossing his arm out toward them in a way of telling them to get the hell out, though it wasn't very effective, and had him getting a hug from his sister -whose daughter was [for once] unconscious in her arms- as well as a kiss on his forehead from his father.
But when Lira went to leave with the rest of them, he whined softly, stretching out toward the female-male-whatever, groping toward her a couple times. He didn't give a s**t about his stupid greed right now; it had been succumbing too heavily to his humility side that had gotten him stuck in this place to start with, so why would he at all approve of that half more? He gestured toward the chair beside him, still wondering at the bizarre feeling of having something practically breathing for him, and he reached out to grab hold of Lirona's hand, a smile crossing his dizzy, drugged-up face.
"Th'nks for th' dance..." he mumbled, delusional, obviously off because of the medication, reminiscing about a dance that he 'hadn't been at', something that he somehow knew that Lir had found out about and somehow, right now, really didn't care. The next day was a different story, but any other time didn't matter. It was only the here and now that meant anything to the greed hybrid who, easily, could have choked to death only an hour or two beforehand.
Lirona had been surprised to have been called to stay, as she'd hovered nervously in the background while the rest of their family greeted the other, too stunning by the sight of him and how close he really had been to dying. She had timidly returned, a hesitant smile on her face as she let her hand be grabbed by the other, for once successfully ignoring the stupid lust and how it made her heart soar at the contact.
At Aludra's words, Lirona gasped softly before squeezing his hand, unable to keep a delighted smile from crossing her face. Sure, she had known that Aludra had been the mysterious prince at the dance, but knowing that and having the reclusive pre-teen tell her were two completely different things. Her tentacle wrapped gleefully around his lower leg, and she nuzzled his hand softly, wishing that she could actually hug him. "You're- You're welcome... Thanks to you too, Aludra..."

It would be on a Saturday that you open your mail box (if you have one) and notice there is a rather thick envelope stuffed in there. There is no postage stamp and a very vague return address. But you recognize the font and the company's name. 'Seven of Seven Inc' scrawled in majestic font across the upper left hand corner. As you open it, you may strangely find yourself drawn to the letter, there is a mass of notes inside. They read as follows:
Letter Congratulations! You have managed to succeed in raising your child. (IE: Not killing him or her or getting killed yourself. Haha we kid of course.) We would like an update from you on the following: Guardians Name: Child's Name: Sin: Virtue: Gender: Current Attitude: Likes: Dislikes: Any abnormal growths: (if any, example: Feathers molting, horns growing larger, scars ) Current hair style: Current clothing preferences: Dominant celestial trait: (The sin or virtue) Please summarize in your own words how difficult or easy it was taking care of your child. Did you manage to care for them in a kindly fashion? Or were you forced to discipline them? As well do not be alarmed if you suddenly find your child achieving a massive growth spurt in the next little while. We are finding that the children from our facility have strange growing patterns and are rather unpredictable. Although please let us know if anything unexpected occurs. Sincerely the technicians from Seven of Seven Inc. Ps. Please just leave your letter back in your mail box one you have completed it our courier will pick it up. Thank you.
You would notice the letter seems overly friendly...strange since the scientist were so ...cold before.
(Just take the from Guardians name to Dominant Celestial trait and pm it to the mule, the summarization doesn't have to be long just have fun with it.)

Something felt off from the moment that Aludra woke up that morning. He rubbed at his tri-coloured eyes with a bit of a groan, sitting up in bed and blinking curiously at his feet, which were sticking out from under the covers. It took him only a moment to realize the reason for this: Apparently he'd undergone another of those growth spurts. He shook his head and laughed quietly to himself. He wished that he could grow like most children rather than suddenly sprouting up overnight, but it wasn't too terrible. At least he didn't have growing pains.
He hesitantly got to his feet, standing awkwardly on his feet with his legs a foot or two apart, trying to keep his balance but having some difficulties. Of course he was, he was practically a foot taller than he'd been the night before and apparently his equilibrium hadn't caught up with his height. He ran a hand through his hair and again paused, eyes widening as he scrambled to pull his pink hair over his shoulder, laughing in astonishment at the fact that his hair now nearly reached the middle of his back. Leaving it down for a time, he practiced his walking to go to the bathroom, reminding himself to ask Noah if he could get his own bathroom sometime in the near future. For the meantime, he was stuck in nothing but a pair of black boxers in the apartment's hallway, hoping that he didn't run into anyone on the way there.
But of course it couldn't happen like Aludra wanted. That would just be plain old silly. Fate being her usual vindictive b***h self, who was standing outside in the hallway as the Greed spawn walked down the hallway in his skivvies but Lirona, sleepily making her sleepy way towards the kitchen. A great yawn erupted from the transgirl, and she fluffed her messy bedhead hair as she walked.
That is, until she spotted the new and greatly improved Aludra. She stopped dead in her tracks, arms frozen in half-stretch as she openly gaped at the taller, more muscular, all-around hotter version of her crush. He was... AMAZING. He was taller and had longer hair and just... Oh, God, he was attractive!
However, all of this fangirling had a negative effect on the poor entranced spawn. Her tentacle, having grown more independent as of late, stretched out as far as it could towards the passing Aludra, to the area covered by his boxers in particular. Lirona was starstruck enough that she didn't notice, but it would only be a matter of time before they both noticed.
Likewise, it took Aludra a moment to realize that he wasn't the only one in the hallway. He paused in place, fingers freezing partway through running them through his double length hair. He was a bit caught up, for a moment, by the girl's adorably disheveled appearance. The fact that she was in a nightgown that Aludra could honestly see through didn't help the fact that there was a brief moment in time where the two were just flat-out staring at each other.
Finally, he snapped out of his daze, frowning harshly at the tentacle and taking a step backward. Glancing back up at Lirona, he gave a partial smile to the other, putting a hand to the wall in an attempt to stable himself, extremely surprised -and rather pleased- that he was now a decent amount taller than the younger female, if only for the time before she grew. "Morning, Lira," he said simply. He wasn't sure what compelled him to be civil to the female, but he supposed it wasn't something worth fighting against; honestly.
Lirona was putty in Aludra's hands at this point, staring deeply into his three-toned, absolutely ******** gorgeous eyes as they stared into her's. The deeper voice that greeted her only made everything that much better, and a violent blush painted her cheeks as she glanced at the floor, fidgeting in embarrassment. "H-H-Hi, Aludra..."
However, in her embarrassment, she forgot to keep her tentacle under control. As the other spawn passed closer to him, the lustful appendage trembled happily, and then went directly to the worst place imaginable: in between Lira's legs. With a squeak, she seized the tentacle, looking in horror at her crush as she tried to keep her tentacle from... attending to certain things. A light whimper emerged from her lips and her wing fluttered with pleasure as it began to worm its way around her fingers, and she gasped in terror, gaping at Aludra before darting into the bathroom. "We-We-We- Seeyoulaterthen!"
Aludra's eyebrows raised at the sudden self-molestation by the girl's tentacle and laughed hesitantly. His amusement turned to a frown when the transgirl turned into the room that he'd been preparing to use and he growled softly under his breath. Waiting outside the door for half a moment, he realized that Lira's door was open, and once more remembered what was in that room, something that very well may allow his DNA father to go back home.
Biting at his lip gently, he walked along the wall and into Lirona's room, carefully balancing himself without having to touch any of the girl's things, which would be too awkward a thing to have to explain. Rather, he neatly slipped the decorated halo from its place, trembling lightly as he ran his fingers across its smooth surface. Prized possession... there was a moment where he contemplated whether or not he could honestly give it away again, but he reminded himself that he had to. It was for a much greater cause than he'd ever fault for. It was completely worth it.

Journal Aludra's Journal I... I cannot believe what just happened.
___I went the Facility to discover what it was that has been ailing me over the course of the past few months. Come to find out that it was a peptic ulcer. That, however, is most definitely not what is so amazing.
___What was so impossibly amazing was who I met within the Facility. Once again, it was Aden, the man who escorted me to my parent meeting. The time I met him recently, however, was vastly different from our first meeting. I'm left to be of the impression that it was the fact that I'm a teenager now, rather than a preteen. After all, it is slightly less unnerving for an adult to flirt with a teenager.
___Yes, that is correct. Someone honestly believed that I was worth flirting with. And despite everything, I attempted to flirt back, though I assume that I did not succeed. I only really managed to make an a** of myself in front of someone whom I like in the same way I like Lira. Liked Lir. I'm not sure which is the truth anymore.
___There was better than that... Aden kissed me. When I was prepared to leave and the both of us were outside of the Facility... he brought me close and he kissed me. But it was a different kiss than the short, shallow one that Lira and I shared. Not at all. It was deeper and... made me feel... strange. I'm not completely sure how, either, it just made me feel strange in a way that I only feel can be considered good.
___All I can do now is wait impatiently for a time that I can find an excuse to return to the Facility. I cannot wait to see him again...
___...is that a foolish thing to say? -Aludra Wezen By'arre

To: Aludra
From: Aden C/O Seven of Seven Labs
I brought your deal to the boss and I think that he found it to be in a manner to be tempting. I think it all seems to revolve around whether or not the item that your offering is the real thing. He was saying that he'd like you to come in and talk to him about it.
Not sure if you want to bring the halo though, maybe a picture of it instead since it sounds like its valuable and I wouldn't want you to lose it before your bargain with the Boss is put on paper.
Good Luck and Good Health,
Aden Boggs
