The backpack was propped against the wall, its zipper open, and the owner held the multi-colored pencils and paper. The lab floor was clean, so her mother didn't mind letting her daughter draw while lying down.
The backpack on his back. The boy carrying it was more than electric, his eyes shining brightly, his hands flapping nonstop, his smile showing his joy at the struggle before him, just as written in the Boatman's book.
The backpack in his mother's hands. The boy lost control, forcing his feet to the ground and running quickly down the long hallway. His father looked at him, turned his hand, causing his son to speed up.
— Nicolas, what are you doing here?
— Daddy said someone was going to be born. We came to see the child, I mean, the lady who was going to be born.
— What do you mean, the lady is talking about Hana? How do you know she would revive?
"It was the boatman who told us. You know, the one who crosses the waters of the earth's interior. In the story we read, he entered the underworld and made a contract with the serpents, the giants, and the mother of the twins to revive her daughter."
Calisto fell to her knees, while Nicolas placed his hands on her shoulders, shaking them. Their fingers intertwined, making their rings clang together. His eyes wandered from the battle and the story he'd told, his focus on the young woman in the flames.
A cloak covered Cassandra's body, but it was slowly consumed by the fire. Dionysus tried to absorb some of the fire so that his sister would not be consumed by her creation.
"Is it almost there, Mana?" His shirt was destroyed by the flames. "If it's not there, I can hold on forever."
"It won't be long now." The body in front of him took on a feminine form inside and out. "Now, Alessandro!"
The cloth covering the red hair fell to the ground, while the young man reached for the raging dragon with his hand, covered in a kind of shining armor, holding it by the neck as it tried to bite his hand. The snake biting the creature fell to the ground, but Alessandro gently bent down and held out his arm for the creature to climb up.
"Thank you, human." The snake slithered past the young man. "I made a contract with the young man's body, but his mind is reluctant."
— he changed his grip. — Hey Mamoru, are you scared of me? If you stop acting like a faggot, I'll fight you seriously, I'll even use my Dual Memory.
The venomous creature's eyes closed, the skull that gave the impression of a dragon was formed, giving way to Felipe's face.
The snake that had previously only managed to cover half of the young man's body made a quick movement and jumped off Mamoru's body.
— Mamoru, I don't know what happened between you and that guy, but I know you can give a damn about anything. Don't think you have to do this for me, stop being a coward! Everything you did was for yourself. Now you're one step away from freeing yourself from me.
— That's right, listen to your sister. Don't feel guilty about anything, not even because of Hana's death or Alessandro's son, care about your freedom or you like being wrapped around a snake and becoming a woman all the time. You don't want to miss the opportunity to suck the breasts of the bearer of the Memory of the breastfeeding goddess, right?
— Damn, he resorted to that, it really is Tiresias. Okay, I accept.
Felipe got up from the armchair he was sitting in, sat on the floor, letting a snake with pink scales cover his body, and squeezed him tightly, making him foam up and foam came out of his mouth, giving him death, liberation.
The dragon became less than a hatchling, Alessandro then took the body next to Cassandra, sat on the ground and took a deep breath.
— It's Now sister!
— Let's do this!
Cassandra walked over to Felipe, sat on top of him, flexed her body, and brought her lips to Felipe's. The scales on his body began to peel off, forming a shape the size of Hana, but transparent. Cassandra burned his hand, making him bleed, and splashed blood onto his still-burning body. Cassandra sat back down and thrust her hand into Mamoru's chest, which turned red.
— What will happen now, mother?
— An impressive thing.
The pink-scaled snake came out of the bloody body and went towards the charred one, biting its neck, latching on and its scales lost their color, while the transparent ones merged with the charred body, reborn Hana.
— Don't look at me! — The first movement of his body was to cover his visible parts. — Give me that cloth! — He covered himself with Dionysus's burnt cloak. — Does Heleno have any clothes for me?
— I made it while the commotion was going on. — He threw a dress to Hana. — Stop it, Cassandra, Mamoru is dead! This is wrong! — He threw a suit to his sister.
"I'm just giving you kisses." He got off Felipe's body. "He'll be back soon." He started getting dressed.
"Damn, I lost my virginity when I was dead, how sad." His body was covered in scales. "I don't even need clothes right now."
Margarida saw the whole situation with blurred vision, she closed her eyes for a moment, perhaps more than seconds passed.
Calisto was with Hana. The perceptive young woman was testing her body, all its functions, and combat skills with her brother, throwing a few punches. She used jiu-jitsu to train her hips, boxing her arms, and Muay Thai to train her joints. She tested her communication skills by teasing Cassandra and Heleno, speaking to Calisto in a dirty and romantic way at the same time.
— Hi Aunt Hana, happy birthday!— Maria brought a drawing to Hana's hands.
— Happy birthday to you too. — Nicolas brought Hana a box of chocolates.
— We're going to play ball again, aren't we? — Henrique handed over a ball with a bow.
"Come on, kids." Alessandro walked toward the exit with his children. "The next time we see each other, it'll be for real. Take care, Simonetta gave you this!" He threw a shell.
Hana tossed the ball to Calisto. She knew her partner didn't like chocolate, so she pulled her sister-in-law over to eat the chocolates with her. She opened the drawing Maria gave her.
Amidst turbulent waters, a young woman with long black hair sat at the bow of the boat, while to her right, a young woman with golden hair supported her body, making her hair meet the neck of the black-haired woman. At the back of the boat, a young man looked into the water, trying to see his reflection, but found none, but found that of a young woman with short hair and green eyes smiling at him.
"Wow, just me and Mamoru back there, how cool. You and Calisto look so cute." He took the coconut chocolate from the box. "How delicious... I'm not even talking about your brother."
"It feels like it's all just begun." She folded the paper four times and placed it between her breasts. "Let's go, I'm dying to see how Mary's bar opened. It must have been a fiasco, but my rebirth was pretty awesome."
