My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

Erebus, Vheslia's father, was an open-minded man when it came to other races. As a man that worked in a shop, he always had to be welcoming of any customer if he didn't wanted to lose potential money, so he always had the open-mindedness to be welcoming of any person as long as they had a penny and the interest of buying something he produced.

He came from a small family of alchemists after all, to make a living they sold their products, and for that reason they had to be welcoming of any person, since he was a kid that they always taught him these things.

So he was naturally open-minded of different people than demons, and even within demons there were many races of appearances and more, they were all different and unique in their own ways, some more hardy than others, some more delicate, others more sensitive, he had to be able to get used to every person and try to discern what they want or not.

And well, as of now he was seeing a large group of non-demons there, there were so many he felt like they had come here to complain about bad products together, and were about to burn down his house or something.

If it wasn't because… Vheslia, yes, the beautiful girl right there, the treasure of his life, his little princess, his little demon puff was here, looking around nervously, waiting for someone to open the door so she could met her parents.

Although she had indeed changed, and she looked more mature, more dignified as well, in fact, she looked like a different person altogether, but her father… her father couldn't help but know that she was Vheslia, he knew it by her face expressions, the nature she gave off, and more…

It was… Vheslia.

It was really Vheslia!

Her father couldn't help but begin to cry as he contained his voice and rushed towards Mary.

"Mary! Mary, wake up! It's Vheslia! It's our daughter!" cried Erebus.

"W-What? What are you talking about? Did you dreamed about her again?" asked Mary.

Mary couldn't believe it at first. After all, they had been dreaming about her coming back countless times before in the past years, so it was rather understandable for her to think that her husband was going insane or something… after all it was very unlikely for her to suddenly come after so long, it was something that didn't made any sense at all seeing how she had completely forgotten about them by now!

But against their expectations, it was real!

"Mary, I know we dream about this a lot but… trust me!" said Erebus.

The purple-haired man held his wife's hands, as she quickly stood up in silence, her eyes opening wide, she was quickly led by her husband, with the faint hope that this wouldn't be another dream, that she wouldn't simply wake up again and realize this wasn't real once more.

Faintly deep inside, she hoped for such a thing to not be true, but it had happened so many times, hundreds of times already, that she had a hard time realizing if such scenario would be reality or not.

Knock, knock!

"Mom, dad?"

Suddenly, the voice of a young woman resonated across the house, Mary's eyes opened wide as she realized this voice had a strong resemblance with… someone else she knew about.

"Vheslia… It can't be…" she muttered.

The two parents rushed towards the door, opening it wide.

BAM!

…

It was as if time had stopped.

The two parents were paralyzed in time.

Their heart began to beat faster as blood was pumping through their veins.

They felt as if they were about to get a stroke out of shock, surprise, and utter happiness.

Nothing else in the world seemed to matter now.

It was as if everything else, the background, all of it, was all deleted.

And there were only the three of them in a single place.

Their eyes began to cry tears of sorrow and happiness, as they saw their little girl all grown up into a beautiful young lady.

Vheslia looked at her parents as she felt just as emotionally stricken as them.

She felt no different at first, she felt happy, smiling.

But small tears began to come out.

She tried to cleanse them but… they continued to come out, one by one, her tears continued to come out of her eyes.

Until they never stopped coming out, and she looked at her parents while her vision was being clouded by her own, endless tears.

"Mom… Dad… I am back… after so long… I… I am sorry for being so far for so long…" she sighed.

"V-Vheslia… Is that you? Are we not dreaming again?" asked her mother.

"Please tell us this is not a dream…" said her father.

"This is not a dream… T-This is reality… really." Said Vheslia, as she smiled warmly at them.

"VHESLIAAAAA!"

The two parents rushed towards their daughter, hugging her tightly with their arms. The two kissed their daughter's whole face as well, as their tears got all over Vheslia's clothes…

Frank smiled faintly at the scene; it was very cute. Seeing Vheslia reuniting with her parents was something truly heart-warming to the core.

Just how long has Vheslia been away from her parents?

Really, she should had told him about this way earlier, and he would had brought her here asap.

He sighed, as he began to think about his other wives and what they might be hiding, especially Cathyl and Gwendolyn, he had yet to learn more about the current situation of their parents and more.

He knew about their past and what they did and all, but he wanted to learn about the current present, saving things up for themselves was no good, Frank wanted to help his wives as much as possible…

This scene melted his heart, as it reminded him when he met with his parents once more…
