However, his mind was much sharper than before. He didn't just train physically, but mentally as well, so he would catch on to Charlotte rather quickly. "Mother, I thought that you didn't eat or rather, you don't eat all that much." he stated before looking around the kitchen. "I guess you've changed a little as well." he added, not really caring about it all too much. He was just glad to be back home, for at least a day that is. "I take it that you received my message, all those months ago?" he asked, sounding somewhat sad about leaving her on her own. Vincent did not know about his mother becoming a Tribunal Member or anything else that may have happened. ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄

DMA Head  ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte only smiled slightly at Vincent before her gaze went back to some of the vegetables she was cutting. When asked about his message, Charlotte nodded "I did... at first I was honestly going to go after you since you said you would be with the Blackwings and such... But then I thought that maybe I should let you decide what you want to do from now on. It seems you made the right decision though since you seem much stronger and way more confident in yourself too. I never thought being with a group like the Blackwings would have an impact like that," she explained. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

This branded him and meant that he was a trusted member. "I know that the Blackwings, or rather Noira, have done some terrible things to you and this family, but after spending all this time with her, I've gotten to know her better and honestly, she has become something like an older sister to me." Vincent admitted to his mother. "I love you and this family so much and I will always be there for you, no matter what, but I also care for Noira as well and if there is a side a must choose, then I will choose them." he would state, showing how mature his mind has developed. "That aside, I'm curious as to what you've been up to mother." ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄

DMA Head ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte smiled slightly as she heard Vincent "I see... you are beginning to sound a lot like your father... I will warn you that your sister may not take kindly to you being a Blackwing. So you should be prepared for her to have the exact opposite reaction that I have," she warned him as she walked over to the two kettles that were on the stove. "I have recently taken Mabaa's place as the head witch in the Tribunal..." she said as she turned off the stove and got three mugs. She walked over to the table and set a mug down in front of him and then in front of the other two chairs before walking back to the kettles. "There is a kishin that is becoming a bit of a threat... his group of followers are reviving the dead and making their own little army. The Tribunal is beginning to prepare for that and I am sure the Blackwings are aware of this incoming threat as well." Charlotte grabbed one kettle and walked back over the the table, pouring hot water into Vincent's cup and then the other one before walking over and grabbing the other kettle and pouring hot milk into the third. A beep was heard and Luen popped out of nowhere holding a basket with different kinds of tea in them. He set it down on the table for Vincent so he could pick out his choice of tea before Luen prepared what appeared to be Charlotte's tea. He then jumped off the table and ran off on its four string like appendages while Charlotte grabbed a thing of honey and set it down on the table. She took a spoonful of honey and mixed it into the cup of hot milk "Not long before I was asked to take Lady Mabaa's place, I ended up finding one of the beings this group revived. Your father is now revived. He is being constantly monitored by those that follow the Kishin, Atlas, and is also partially controlled by them. He was only able to tell me so much in the time we had." Charlotte stopped stirring the honey into the third drink and walked back over to where the food was as she began platting them. "If Divine is just one of the ones being controlled, we can assume that there are quite a few other powerful beings that are currently under the control of Atlas and his followers. They should be making their move soon." ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ Vincent let out a small chuckle as Charlotte mentioned the fact that Mirai might not like the fact that he is now part of the same group that targeted her. Though he had already knew that Mirai wouldn't be okay with it. "Don't worry mother. I've already come to terms with that." he told her before becoming shocked at the news that Charlotte, his own mother, had taken over Mabaa, the Old Witch's position as the head witch and Tribunal Member. That was something he really didn't expect, but even during his shock, Vincent would notice the three mugs placed at the table. Was Charlotte expecting someone else? Another visitor? Well, she is now in a very high ranking position, he was sure that many people would want to come and greet her and ask for favors and such. When Charlotte went on to explain the sudden rise of a kishin and his group of followers, Vincent focused back on her. "Atlas. I've learned about him and his threat from Noira. As weird as it may seem, she and a group of others, somehow found their way to the future, a future where Atlas had grown to be a big threat." However, as he finished saying this, Vincent would be met with yet another surprise, "F-Father? Alive?" he asked. "How is that possible? I-I." Vincent couldn't say anything, he was truly shocked. Soon, as the seconds passed, he would calm down and regain his composure. "If that is so, then we must be prepared to strike or at the very least, stop them from doing what it is that they are planning to do, but still, father? Is he truly alive?" ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄

DMA Head ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte nodded. She would be surprised if Vincent wasn't shocked. "He is... I was able to spend a little bit of time with him because I guess he has earned that group's trust and has a bit of leeway but he is still forced to fight for them and do their bidding," she said "We are trying to gain a bit more intel on them then prepare a surprise strike... I have also suggested temporarily allying with Noira and the remaining Machinist members... we need all the assistance we can get in order to ensure our victory." she said. She glanced over at Vincent then her gaze shifted to behind him. She smiled as Vincent would be able to hear small footsteps running towards them. "When the time comes and we fight, there is a good chance that you will see your father. However, he will be trying to harm you as well as anyone else. Even myself. So don't let your feelings be your weakness," Charlotte warned him as someone ran passed Vincent and towards the third chair with the mug of hot milk. A small girl with hair that was light crimson in color. Her head barely peaked up over the table as she reached both her hands up while on her tiptoes and grabbed the mug with both of her hands. A small bunny doll ended up walking up behind her and watched the girl quietly. The girl smelled the drink before blowing on it and began drinking it. She glanced over at Vincent then with eyes that looked very similar to his older sister's. The strangest thing about the girl was that her soul was human. "Vincent, this is Victoria. Victoria Hope," Charlotte said as she walked over. She set a plate with a sandwich, soup, and several types of vegetables in front of Vincent and then one in front of where Victoria was going to sit. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

Vincent had a determined and confident look in his eyes, as Charlotte mentioned the chances that when it is time for him and his father to meet, it will be on the battlefield, as enemies. Though, Vincent didn't seem to mind that, or let his emotions show. "Mother, if I allowed myself to be ruled by my emotions, then my training would have been for nothing. Believe me when I say: I will not allow myself to fall to darkness, ever again." Suddenly, the sounds of small footstep would be heard coming from behind him and soon enough the person behind footsteps would run pass him and head towards the third mug that was there. Looking on, Vincent would peek over the edge of the table to see a small girl with light crimson hair. As she looked at him, Vincent sensed something...familiar about her eyes. They reminded him of Mirai's, but judging from her soul wavelength, she wasn't a witch, she appeared to be completely human. Why would his mother have a human child living in her world? Wouldn't that violate the rules? Besides that, why is it that she seemed so familiar? What the hell is going on? Charlotte did went on to introduce the child. "Victoria? Hope?" he asked as he continued staring at the child. "Hope?" Glancing over at Charlotte, Vincent was clearly out of it. "Who? How? I-Is this my..." he couldn't even finish his sentence. ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄

DMA Head ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte smiled slightly "Little sister, yes," she said, finishing his sentence as Victoria managed to set her mug back on the table and hopped into her hair. Charlotte moved the chair she was in closer to the table "This is Vincent, Victoria. Can you say hi to your big brother?" she asked the girl with a small smile. The bunny doll used its scarf like appendages to move Victoria's mug closer to her. Victoria looked up at her mother then at Vincent before quickly grabbed her sandwich and eating it. "She is a little shy..." Charlotte said with a small laugh as she sat down in the empty chair that was left and stirred her tea a bit before sipping it. "Victoria was born human... Your father is also human... though that shouldn't mean you should judge him as weak," she told Vincent as the bunny doll hopped on top of Victoria's chair and watched the girl and waited in case she needed assistance. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ Vincent watched as Victoria sat down in her chair and began eating her sandwich, not saying a word or barely even looking at him. Though he was still in surprise about the whole "little sister" thing in general. "Human, huh?" he asked as he continued to stare at the girl. Vincent was old enough to know what had transpired between his mother and father, but still, he didn't expect to have a little sister, especially in just three months. Sometimes it frightened him how fast time flew in the Netherworld, or maybe his mother's own powers had grown to the extent that she was able to shift time. "Mother, I know more than anyone else, what it means to be weak. I don't care whether he is human or not, I will not underestimate that man." As he finished speaking, Vincent let out a little smile, as he watched his little sister eat. "Still, another sister, huh? It feels almost surreal." he stated as he continued to stare at her. "Victoria..." ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄

DMA Head ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte nodded at Vincent while Victoria continued to eat despite Vincent watching her. "I found out I was pregnant with her when I was assigned to be head witch. I didn't want her getting hurt or anything since nothing sounds like more of a target than a pregnant powerful witch... I ended up tampering with the territory's time a little so that way I could have time to raise Victoria. The territory's time zone should be back to normal now since controlling that can be a bit exhausting so you don't have to worry about her growth spurting," she explained. Charlotte then looked over at Victoria before sipping her tea as the girl continued to eat in silence, obviously she wasn't going to be the first to talk. Someone had to talk to her first. "So Victoria, what adventure did you go on today?" she asked. Right away a switch seemed to go off in Victoria's head as the girl quickly looked at Charlotte. "Mmph!" the girl stated before realizing she had a lot of food in her mouth. She quickly swallowed and then took a few sips of her milk. "I climbed the tree with bunny today and then we played hide and seek around the house and then we picked some flowers in the back and put them in a cup over upstairs in your room!" Victoria obviously seemed excited and proud of all the things she did that day. Charlotte grinned as she heard the small girl "That's great. I will have to go upstairs after lunch and see what flowers you picked out. What are you going to do after we eat?" Victoria swung her legs slightly as she took a bite of a small carrot stick before speaking again "I'm going to color! And then look through books! I want to read that one again with the princess and the animals and the pretty pictures!" she stated before looking up at her mom and grinning up at her. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ As Victoria and Charlotte began talking back and forth, Vincent said nothing and simply stared at the girl. He was still in a little bit of a shock, but he soon managed to get over it and the small grin on his face would grow wider and wider, until his happiness became evident to Charlotte. Seeing how she and Charlotte spoke, Vincent couldn't help but to think of how he was just like her, before things took a turn for the worse. However, he has changed and with the new addition to the family, he has seemingly found a new strength. One that came from wanting to protect and guide his little sister. Standing up, Vincent would walk over towards Victoria and bend down, meeting her level. "Hi, Victoria. My name is Vincent and I'm your big brother." he stated with a loving smile on his face. ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄

DMA Head ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte glanced at Vincent as it was obvious that he seemed really happy now. She hadn't seen him in such a mood in a long time. Victoria quickly grew shy again as Vincent walked over to her and knelt down and introduced himself. The funny doll jumped down and landed on her lap and Victoria held the doll against her as she stared shyly back at Vincent "Hello..." she replied back. Charlotte muffled a small laugh "Victoria, I thought you were excited to meet your older siblings. Why are you so shy all of a sudden?" she said. The small girl buried her face the the bunny's head. Charlotte made a face for a moment before remembering something "Do you have that picture you drew of your brother?" she asked. Victoria peaked up and nodded. "Do you want to show Vincent your drawing?" she asked. Victoria quickly managed to jump off the chair and ran off out of the room, stumbling slightly as she held her doll. Charlotte smiled slightly "I've told her all about you, Mirai, Atticus, and your father. She has been really excited about wanting to meet both you and Mirai and she even wanted to draw pictures of her with both of you and give them as presents for when she would finally meet you. With that, I had to sit down and give her vivid descriptions of what you both looked like," she explained before she heard the small footsteps running back towards them. In one arm, Victoria had her bunny and in the other she had a piece of paper. She ran over to Vincent and set her bunny down on the ground before holding it up to him. It was a crayon drawing that showed two figures. One was small with red scribbles on the head and the other was bigger with darker hair. They both had smily faces and they were in a grassy field with a tree in the background. "That's you and that's me and we are outside Mama's house!" Victoria said. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

She was a lot like him when he was younger, though in his case, he was a mamma's boy, always clinging to his mother, never once letting her out of his sight. As Victoria greeted him, Vincent would place his hand on her head and smile, "Hello.' he replied back, just as Charlotte began speaking to her. At the mention of a drawing of some sort, Victoria would jump off the chair and leave the room, presumably going off to go and get the drawing. As Charlotte explained everything to him, Vincent would stand up and nod, "I see. Well, I can't wait to see it." he told her just as Victoria cam running back into the room. Looking down at the drawing, Vincent would smile even more. "Is that so?" he asked. "Well, I must say, this picture is pretty good." he stated before leaning down and patting the girl on her head. "I'm not as good at drawing, so maybe you can teach me sometime." ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄

DMA Head ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Victoria's expression lit up greatly as she heard her older brother praise her and suggest her teaching him about how to draw. She nodded "Okay!" she replied with a bright smile. After that, she handed him the drawing before she managed to climb back onto her chair. She took the small spoon near her and began slurping the soup. The bunny managed to jump back on the chair again while Charlotte smiled as both Victoria and Vincent interacted. Charlotte sipped her tea a bit more before she stood up "I am going to see what flowers you picked for me, Victoria." Obviously she was going to try and let Vincent and her have some time to themselves for just a little bit now that Vincent seemed to know how to get his sister to become more talkative. "Okay, Mama!" the girl replied before she picked up the bowl and slurped up the rest of the soup. Charlotte looked at Vincent and smiled at him before she walked off to the second floor. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

Watching as Victoria made her way back to her chair and began eating, Vincent would do the same, sitting back in his chair. It would be around that time, that Charlotte would leave the room, presumably to give Vincent and Victoria some time alone together. Now it was only Victoria, Vincent and the new strange doll there. Vincent wasn't one for talking, especially to a little child. Thinking about what to say or do, Vincent just said the first thing that came to mind. "How is it living here, Victoria? Is it a little lonely? Are you happy?" part of this was Vincent's own little take on his time here, he felt lonely at times. ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄
