In a quaint house at the far eastern side of Estia is where one can find Belamos and the remainder of his family. The house was hand-built by Belamos and has been added onto multiple times. While it is modest in size and decoration, the small family lives comfortably. It holds enough bedrooms for each resident to have their own as well as a guest room, dining room, den, painting studio, sunroom, kitchen and two bathrooms. A small fenced-in garden lays in the back yard and a few dozen yards from the side of the house is where the beginning of Belamos's farmland starts. He works the ten acres constantly, exchanging the spear for the plow in order to provide for his family.

"Ninety-eight...Ninety-nine...One hundred..." Aurelia collapsed on the ground after the end of her final warm ups for the the day. Much like every other morning since the era of peace began, she had been working alongside her father to keep in shape for when it would eventually fade. Things had a tendency to get exciting and then ruin a time of relaxation around the ninja world. The princess stood back on her feet and moved some fiery red hair from her head while walking back to the shower and smiling. The anxious and timid shell that who Belamos's daughter had been cracked open in full, displayed by the fierce shade of red that her hair had grown into. It did make her look more like her father though she did like her old looks more. Body wise she had been growing up and even gained some muscle thanks to a few camping trips out with her father. Of course she had almost died twice but her dad always was there for her. If her mother was watching, Aurelia was certain she'd have killed him by this point.
After a quick shower and a change of clothing, Aurelia walked back out to the kitchen. "Hm, lunch...ramen seems good enough for now." Those lessons with Unki had paid off as the little chef now had a fair amount of recipes under her belt. She would begin by getting some noodles from the cupboard and starting a pain of hot water, following by preparing the broth along with slicing some scallions, green onions, garlic and ginger among other things. Some good old ramen after a morning of no breakfast and intense work out sessions. She poured everything into a pot with water and began to sear everything inside, the sound of food frying on the cooking station producing a delicious aroma that could turn heads. "Dad! I'm making lunch, want sooome?~"

Raging fires, scared eyes looking up to her for help, blood everywhere... on her hands, on her face, on her clothes...
Sonyo's eyes snapped open and she stared up at the ceiling for a moment, rubbing softly at her arm where the blood had been injected. Every once in a while it burned, like a reminder of the lives she couldn't save that day. She hadn't told Belamos, or Aurelia, or Nohea. She hadn't told anyone. Only Kagerou knew, and she knew her friend would keep it a secret for as long as she wanted it to be one. She took in a deep breath, counting to three, before letting it out on the same count. She didn't need to look at the window to know it was well past the time that everyone else in the house woke up, and that everyone would be busy beginning their day. She had a moment, and moment to think, to pace herself. It had been years, but some traumas were still fresh. Still new, like scars that never stopped hurting. She grabbed Belamos' pillow from beside her with one hand without moving her torso and held it close.
It smelled like him and emitted a slight warmth.
She forced herself to remember, remember that things were different and her traumas were in the past. For the first time in her life, everything was normal. She heard the muffled noise of Aurelia calling out for her father across the house and she couldn't help but smile softly, face still upturned to the ceiling. They were so close...
God she missed Taylor.
Sonyo forced herself to sit up, obnoxiously long black hair spilling around her face and shoulders like a waterfall made out of the night sky. She turned her head and looked out the window by their bed and watched the landscape for a moment. She hoped Nari was happy for her, wherever he was. She had used up all his chakra that had been sealed inside her quicker than she had anticipated and now he was gone... truly gone. It was almost like a weight off her shoulders. The woman hoped he had found peace with his goddess, among the ravens and dark. Her eyes were calm and were filled with a warmth that hadn't belonged in them in a very long time.
Shukaku was fairly quiet in her, he had been for a long time and she wasn't sure why. She had gone in to her mental plane and tried to stir him awake, but he wouldn't budge. The jinchuriki wondered if it was because of her life choices, if perhaps she had done something to anger the tanuki in to him ignoring her. She frowned softly... she kind of missed his smart comments. He had been quiet for three years now. She tried once more to reach out to him, saying his name, but got no response...

He rose before the sun- the same as he did every morning. He was careful to make as little noise as possible while getting dressed to avoid waking Sonyo. Three years of the practice had made him quite adept at the task. Tip-toeing downstairs, he made his way to the door and sat upon the bench he had placed beside it to pull his work books on, an item that Aurelia simply refused to allow further into the household for fear of him mucking up the place. Once he was properly attired he proceeded out the front door and across their yard before making a sharp turn and heading out to the beginning of the large field on which Belamos grew his crops. This was his fourth season on the land and was looking to be his most bountiful one yet. He was proud of his work- proud of his plentiful harvests. Sure, it was back-breaking, un-glamorous work but he was satisfied by the time he went to bed every day. His work provided for his family and his neighbors in an extremely direct way and this gratified him more than any amount of fighting ever could. No, Estia had no fighters...but it had plenty of farmers.
He had not intended for the town to be created. Truth be told, he had resigned his family to a life of seclusion when he moved out here. Yet, word of his relocation and the dream he held spread. Quickly, people began to move out here alongside him. Slowly at first but picking up the pace as the months progressed. Now-a-days, they had everything from paved roads to a small market. Estia- the town of renewed peace. Governed by no shinobi nation, the settlement self-governed and did a damn fine job at it to. Belamos was content to continue his simple farming ways, but he was frequently sought out for advice or council on matter of importance regarding the governance of Estia- it was only to be expected. He also made a point of visiting every person who moved here and thus had acquired a positive reputation in the town. Still, it was the quiet morning tilling the fields that Belamos loved the most. Before others woke, just as the sun was rising- it was a majestic kind of peace the he had not been able to find elsewhere.
He worked from sunrise to lunch time, only breaking when he heard his daughter bellowing at him from the house. Plating his shovel into the ground, he wiped the sweat from his brow on a clothe he kept tied around his waist. Belamos made sure to wash up in a outdoor basin before entering into the kitchen so as not to incur Aurelia's wrath. Placing a hand on his daughter's head, he tussled her hair playfully as he so often did before sitting down and reclining in his chair and letting out a small groan as his back stretched in a slightly uncomfortable way. It was evident by the small aches in his body and the ever more frequent grey that he found in his hair that he was not getting younger.
"I may need you and your sisters help this afternoon" He said to his daughter "I'm expanding the north field a bit and there's a particularly troublesome stump. It may prove my match!" He chuckled good naturedly as his daughter continued her cooking, awaiting her response
----------------------------------------A U R E L I AxxK A R N A ------โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
It was honestly very surprising to think that her family would find their way away from villages. Of course the farming life style was always kind of risky but it was definitely hard work and fun at times. Aurelia would go out and help her father with many things that popped up alongside Nohea. Times of peace like this were short lived, at least according to her father and all those books she read, but it was nice. Even with the inclusion of Nohea and Sonyo. It almost felt like they were a complete family again. Aurelia smiled at the thought. A small family of her very own! She only had her father for so long, and now with everyone moving in with them...Of course, Sonyo was a rather awkward subject for the child. She had never really gotten to fully move on past her mother. Tsuki was her mom, of course, but if Belamos liked Sonyo, did that mean she would be her daughter? She was nice but there was just that hint of sadness that Belamos carried with him. The mark of a person who suffered for so long. Aurelia puffed her cheeks out as another piece of garlic dove into the waters of the pan.
The door opened and Aurelia spoke up on instinct. "Are you clean, Dad? I don't want any dirt in here!" The familiar feeling of a warm, giant hand on her head made the child lean into her father's embrace. Oh, how she missed days like these. For somebody his age, Belamos looked pretty good. Maybe it was just the demigod genes and all. Of course, he would probably need her help later on, which was just more incentive to clean up lunch super fast. It was strange. Aurelia had become the caretaker of her father and vice versa. She was always trying to get him to eat better, or at least what Unki said was better, along with forcing him to take frequent breaks from fieldwork. "Sounds like a plan. I bet we can burn that stump out of the way~"
The chef would combine her pieces into one giant pan and began to cook the great dish for all who would be in the house. The flames scared her way back when, but she had been burned so many times it really kinda just tickled. Of course she wasn't planning on roasting her hand any time soon, but it was a nice perk. "Hey Dad. How'd you come up with my name? Did Mom think of it?" She asked randomly, popping her head up from the stove to look at Belamos for just a moment before going back down. It took a bit longer but the dish would find its completion as Aurelia would pour everyone a bowl of hot ramen and noodles. She gave one to her father and then gently cupped a bowl for Sonyo and walked back towards the bedroom, knocking on the door. "H-Hey. Sonyo?" she asked in an awkward but soft tone. "Lunch is ready. I, ah, made you a bowl..."

Kosode, then Hakama... Sonyo looked at herself in the mirror of the bedroom, her Kosode not yet tied shut. Decorating her stomach and bottom portion of her chest was the intricate seal placed by Bastet. It was a masterpiece of thin circles that intertwined with each other in a frozen dance. She traced the lines softly with her fingers, thinking back to those days... So many people were gone now, disappeared or dead... Sonyo's eyes closed tightly and she took in a calm and controlled breath. No, she needed to stop. They wouldnt want her to be sad like this. A knock at the door furthered to pull herself away from intrusive thoughts and Sonyo let out the breath she had maybe been holding too long. She finished dressing, then went to the door and opened it.
She looked at the bowl Aurelia held and smiled warmly, taking in the scent of the delicious food in front of her. Gracefully she took the bowl in one hand, then placed a slightly chilled hand on top of the girl's head. "Ahhh, this smells so good, Auri! You put my cooking to shame, maybe I should go learn from an empress as well~" Sonyo joked with the kid before pulling her hand away and starting to walk off, barefoot and with her hair still trailing behind her. "Let's go join your father. I'm sure he's made a mess of the kitchen already in our absence." Whether or not Aurelia followed, she walked in to the kitchen.

__Wondering her way in through the front door Nohea tore out the half-eaten fish skeleton from her mouth to yell her greeting. โIโM HOME.โ As much as the little shark girl loved spending time with her family here there could be no denying that she was built to roam and explore, doing so every chance she could. One of her favorite hideaways consisted of a stream not more than two miles out from the town. She had only ever shared itโs location with Aurelia though Nohea had her doubts that their father hadnโt secretly followed them once or twice.
It hadnโt naught but two steps in before a faint squish squish could be heard underneath her. Looking down the bare muddy foot prints could be seen traced all over the floor as the dreaded realization that she forgot to clean off her feet before hand struck Nohea. Aurelia was going to kill her. Hopefully before anyone managed to notice the young girl quickly pulled off her shirt leaving her clad in only her trousers and threw the cloth on the ground. Still damp from her swimming escapade the make-do rag ended up spreading much of the muck around, but was with time, started to make a dent in the mess.
Standing at the front door of the Karna Residence, Takashi felt uncharacteristically anxious. Although, he supposed it made sense that he was a bit worked up over the matter. After all, he was finally going to meet back up with Belamos after all these years. He just hoped that the man still recognized him after all this time. He was now quite a bit taller and had grown his hair out rather long. He had also shed most of his baby fat and developed a strong physique (something he was quite proud of). 'Welp. Here goes nothing.' he thought, taking in a deep breath and then slowly exhaling. He then gave a few strong knocks to the door and waited for a response.

He increased the temperature of his hand by a few dozen degrees and placed it on the small of his back, attempting to sooth out the aches of the morning work as Aurelia cooked in the nearby kitchen. He managed to stifle the groan that clawed it's way up his throat, the only sign of his uncomfortable state being the furrowed brow he wore. As Aurelia asked her question regarding the nature of his name, he stopped what he was doing and straightened in his seat, not wanting his daughter to see him in any pain. "Your name? It came from your grandfather." He had not spoken of Utu much to her, choosing to keep Aurelia in the dark about much of her divine ancestry and allow her to live as if she were a regular human. All the same, she knew that her grandfather was an incredibly powerful man, alive and out traveling the world. "He...visited a few weeks before you were born. It had apparently been the name of someone rather close to him, once upon a time. Your mother liked it and it stuck."
As she thought over what that meant to her and went into the back to fetch Sonyo, Belamos reclined in his chair, rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet. Life was simple, mundane- safe. He was a far cry from a king but strangely felt more responsible for the people of Estia than he ever had before; these people had journeyed here due to their belief in his dream and thus felt it was his job to provide it. He would have spent the rest of the morning untwisting the knotted machinations of his destiny had not Sonyo entered into the room.
Five years. It had been over five years since they had first met. Since that time she had unconditionally supported, assisted and consoled him. It had taken time but Sonyo eventually became a normal part of the family. As slowly as Aurelia had been to become used to another woman in the family, Belamos had made it clear that she was not a replacement for Tsuki- nobody could replace that woman. Now-a-days, the two got along just fine if not a bit awkwardly. Sonyo's natural maternal instincts resonated most obviously with Nohea. The wild child had taken to her like a fish to water, lavishing in the attention and bond that only a mother and daughter could have. As for himself? They had developed a deep companionship. It was not one born of fiery passion as his previous marriage had been, but one of unwavering confidence in the other. They understood one another better than anyone else and could usually tell what the other was thinking and feeling by a quick glance.
As she walked by Belamos was just pouring a cup of coffee for himself and immediately turned to hand her the one he had already poured for her. "Good morning" He said to her, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before reclining against the kitchen counter and taking a sip out of his coffee. A hidden perk in being half Sun God and was that he could always brew the perfect temperature cup of coffee.
As he took his second sip, he heard the unmistakable exclamation by his other daughter that she was home. She had gotten up even earlier than he did- often going out into the woods to hunt and explore. At first, Belamos had often kept tabs on her, but after the time he saw her but a bear in a headlock he stopped- any girl who could do that could handle herself. "Wash up and come eat!" He called back to her. He didn't even need to see her, he just knew she would be covered in grime.
A few seconds later there was a knock at the front door. Belamos set his mug down and motioned to Aurelia, who he knew would immediately go for it "I got it, I got it" Around half the visitors they got were simply people who wanted to meet him and often times Aurelia played the part of bouncer- sending people away if she didn't get a good feeling from them. But, seeing as she was cooking, he'd just handle it himself.
He walked down the hallway to the front door where upon he found a mysterious set of smeared and muddy foot prints leading to the wash closet. Belamos couldn't help but grin at the humor of the situation but knew that if Aurelia saw it, Nohea was in trouble. He stepped over the mess and opened the door, swinging the oaken structure inward on well oiled hinges. What appeared to be a male in his early teens stood in front of him- shaggy blonde hair over-shadowing two brown eyes that seemed to be brimming with playful mischief. The boy was tall and lean- emanating a kind of whipcord strength. And, yes, while he had changed much in the last five years, it took Belamos but a few seconds to recognize his visitor: "Takashi Sato. To what do I owe the pleasure?" He said with a chuckle, leaning against the door frame.

Her grandfather? It was an ever elusive topic in the Karna household though the topic rarely came up these days ever since they gained a few dozen people. Aurelia remained quiet while thinking on the topic. No matter how far back she looked, there weren't any memories of him either. So he must have been a fair distant guy to just not visit her or Belamos for ten years. "Maybe we'll meet one day. I bet he's super strong too. We could go a round and see how far I can get." There she was, chock full of herself and abilities while eager to meet this grandfather of hers one day. Or at the very least, learn the truth. She only had so much family left and she would be damned if it meant losing yet another person.
Sonyo's cold hands fell atop her head, like her father had done countless times before. It was a nice gesture in the household, one Aurelia had always enjoyed. It came from Tsuki, who always loved it when her hair was messed with. She could even fall asleep in seconds if it was bed time and you started messing with her long red locks. More compliments were showered upon her of her cooking. Then again, when you were the only one in the family who had been trained exclusively, you learned a thing or two from it, one of which was accepting all the approval you got. "Thank you, Sonyo." Aurelia smiled and let the woman lead the way towards the kitchen one more. She passed by a small shrine to Tsuki on the way there, causing the girl to stop for a moment and adjust a picture of her. Enough to make it look just perfect.
Her feet hit the kitchen again before noticing Nohea alongside mounds and mounds of dirt. Alarms started to ring off in her mind as the girl hurried over to her sibling. "Nohea!" she said in a scolding but whiny tone. She looked at the mess as her frustration turned to exhaustion. She couldn't stay mad at Nohea, especially like this. "...Take off your shoes next time, okay?" Aurelia knelt down to help clean the mess up. Something struck her about her sister. Maybe it was the hair or her piercings or her nice eyes. But something had Aurelia feel...well, it was hard to describe. Kinda like she was super interested in learning about her and stuff. Her hair had gained some color as well. It made her like nice this way. That cool light blonde color and how it was so long it could hide an eye behind it. Aurelia bit her tongue to keep herself from embarrassing further and would go back to lunch when she finished helping Nohea with cleaning. She sat beside her father, munching on her ramen bowl without much of a care in the world.

As the door opened, Takashi was happy to find himself looking upon the familiar face of Belamos. Well, it was familiar enough at least. While the man's physique was still as strong and sturdy as ever, the expression he wore seemed far less hardened than Takashi remembered. It seemed that these years of peace had been kind to Belemos, which was good to see. The guy deserved it. "C'mon, old man. Don't act too surprised. You haven't forgotten the deal we made all those years ago, have you?" Takashi jested with an impish grin. "I toldja when I finished my apprenticeship I'd come and find ya, so here I am, a full-fledged blacksmith, ready to get to work." he explained proudly.
tab | | tab b e l a m o stab k a r n a tab | | โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ
Belamos couldn't help but chuckle as Takashi relayed the reason he was here but not before playfully poking run at his increasing age "Yeah, yeah. You'll get there too one day kid, believe me." He pushed the door open a little wider and stepped to the side, gesturing for him to enter into his house. "C'mon in. My daughter just finished cooking lunch and you look like you could use a bite. We'll talk about where you can be of use here afterwords." Without waiting for him, Belamos strode back down the hallways and into the dining room.
Takashi would find the interior a warm, bright, home. The dark oak wood flooring was polished and shone brightly when it wasn't covered by a rug. The hallways eventually led out into a kitchen/dining room common area where a round table sat with five chairs. By the time he would walk in, Belamos was already seated and sipping on his coffee once more, a hand on top of Sonyo's "Everyone, this is Takashi Sato. An old student of mine from Arashigakure. He's stopped by for a visit." Aurelia was anything but impolite- he knew she would immediately offer him a bowl and, thus, hardly found it worth mentioning
__Her sister always had been good at making her feel bad. It was almost like a magical genjutsu she had that could make someone do what you wanted even without blowing up at them. Bitting her lip the shark girl dip into the mid with renewed effort trying desperately to make it up to Aurelia. "S-sorry sis.. love you." With the two of them cleaning up the stain was wiped clean in mere moments, which was good because it just so happened that that was the exact same moment a stranger had decided to visit. Not even trying to hide her curiousity Nohea causally-butnotsosneakily placed herself in the perfect position to eavesdrop on their conversation. full-fledged blacksmith huh? But he sounds so young? Waiting until her father let him in the shark girl waited until this Takashi was past the point where he could run out the door. Immediately taking to sniffing the air around his person like some kind of rabid dog. To the girl's credit she HAD gotten much better at holding back her tendencies and acting like a normal person, though some habits were harder to drop than others. "So you're name is Takashi huh? I heard your conversation at the door. So how do you know my dad?" Mid-sentence the girl had retreated from her onslaught as though determining that the boy wasn't a threat and moving out of his way to take a seat. Her aggressive line of questioning remained however.
Sonyo happily took the coffee from Belamos, sipping at it in hopes that it would chase away the sleepiness at the corner of her eyes. A content smile and blush formed on her face when Belamos gave her a peck on the cheek, quick-- it was a habit, like he had always done it and would always do it. Mother, she hoped that was true. Within a blink, her happy yet busy family was gone from the kitchen leaving her alone to drink her coffee in peace.
She let out a soft breath, listening to the sounds of them talking from other rooms. Once the woman finished her cup, she wrinsed it out and began to prepare tea for whatever guest had found their way to her home. Sonyo shuffled through several dried and packaged herbs; she had grown them herself. One of the first things Belamos had done for her when she moved there was make sure she felt at home by making her a garden. He had gotten up early the morning after she got here and didn't stop in till it was done. She hadn't felt so wanted in such a very long time.
Turning from the sink to the window by it, there was a small flowering plant who's vine like leaves had spilled from it's pot and had started their descent towards the floor. She sprinkled some plant food in to the soil-- her own mix of course --and then watered it with care. Sonyo smiled softly, the flowers were hydrangeas, her mother's favorite. She caressed one of the leaves softly, only to snatch her hand back in half-horror as her touch dehydrated it quite quickly and caused it to wilt the one leaf. The woman held her hand to her chest, her mouth in a hard line as she looked at what she did. Maybe it was time to tell him, to tell Belamos. The shakuton chakra was beginning to get out of control and she wasn't sure how to handle it.
She needed help.
Sonyo cleared her throat and moved to the table upon hearing Belamos begin his return to the kitchen. She sat and ate a few bites before he took his place beside her and placed his hand on top of hers. The ex-kunoichi looked at the man, then at the younger male who had just walked in, seeming to completely ignore the shirtless shark child who sat across from her.
She was used to Nohea's strange habits, and although she tried her best to get the girl to act normal out in public, Sonyo tried her best to let the house be the one place the girl could be herself. She didn't want to be some dictator to this girl who only knew one way of life-- she was quite the same. She didn't want them to change in any way, each of the girls was perfect on their own in their own ways.
From the younger male, her eyes trailed down to her and Belamos' hands, and she squeezed it to remind herself that this man was there for her no matter what. He would understand, right? Distance formed behind her hazel-brown hues as she got lost in thought, and her usually cold hands waxed warm for a heartbeat as she lost concentration of her body temperature for only a moment. Snapping out of her reverie, Sonyo looked back up at the male, pulling a kind and soft smile to her face.
"Welcome to our home, I hope you can make yourself comfortable. If there's anything I can do to help, please just make it known." Quickly, the temperature in her hand went back to normal, almost as if nothing had ever happened and Sonyo hadn't noticed either way. Thin, slender, chilled fingers intertwined with Belamos' as she paused her meal-- there was a guest here after all and it was rude to eat in till they had.
