"Please… don't call me that. I don't deserve it." Velzard said bitterly, hearing that term put a sour taste in her mouth.
"What's wrong with that mom?" Nyx asked sweetly.
"I told you to stop calling me that." Velzard said with a bit of impatients and agitation.
"There's no need to be sad, you didn't do anything wrong… mom." Velzard said with a mischievous face.
"NYX!" Velzard immediately came out of her cradle, the surroundings instantly turning into an ice age.
But Nyx was completely unfazed. When Velzard saw the mischievous smile on her face, she had realized that she was just being teased and receeded back into her cocoon, "That… that was just cruel of you to do."
"Well I am my father's child, aren't I?" Nyx said in a teasing voice.
"Those are bad habits to adopt. I might love him but goddamn is he insane." Velzard said, becoming a little more cheerful.
"Well it would be nice if I had a better parent to be a role model." Nyx said a bit desperate.
Hearing those words, Velzard ashamedly retracted back into her shell, she didn't want to think about that again.
Seeing her regressive state, Nyx had already run out of patience because she was seeing that none of this was gonna work, "I'm not gonna stop calling you mom simply because you did one thing wrong. For the love of Pneuma, I won't allow you to become so unfathomably stubborn."
Hearing her words, Velzard snapped, "Wrong? What kinda mother would attack her own children! I'm just a fake pretending."
Nyx walked up to the throne and forced Velzard to look her in the eyes, " You can't just give up cause of one incident, everyone makes mistakes, it's normal. You couldn't have been able to control yourself at that time, so please… don't just give up, if not for me then please do it for dad."
Velzard looked into Nyx's eyes with her own welling up with tears, " But what if Amanises doesn't forgive me?"
" I'm sure she will."
" Bu-but what if Simon is mad at me for what I did to him?"
" Are you kidding, dad is obsessed with you. Evens if he is mad at you, it won't be for long."
Velzard's tears were so apparent now that her face had two waterfalls going down her face, " Can… can I really stay with you all… here?!"
" We will always accept you Mom, no matter what. So please, I beg that you will stay with us, afterall, I need my mother don't I?" Nyx said while also getting teary.
" Nyyyyyyyyx!" Velzard couldn't take it and just let herself cry while Nyx just gently wiped her tears away.

Velzard and Nyx were sitting at the round table where they were drinking tea together. Velzard took big but slow sips to calm herself down.
" Have you finally calmed down you big cry baby?" Nyx said mischievously.
Velzard just gave her a very vindictive look and began pulling her cheek, " Is that anyway to speak to your mother?"
Nyx looked like she was in so much pain, "AHHH I'm sowwy mommy."
" That's better." Velzard looked down at the stone table and saw something surprising, 'Since when was this table so reflective?'
Velzard was looking at what she looked like with her horns still out, her two icy horns had protruded out of the side of her head and extended up and backwards to create a crown that fits with her hair, appearing more like frost-covered antlers.
To accommodate her new horns, her hair had automatically tied up into a high ponytail to create a much more regal look as opposed to her previous twin tails.
She looked down and saw her massive lizard tail with glaciers protruding out of it and it's icy colour reflecting into the stone, or was that her power emanating out of her?
Velzard contemplated how others would react to this image because… she had tried to revert her form back and it did not work. Yep, her Universal shape shift was currently malfunctioning, Nyx had did a checkup already and concluded it as a psychological reaction.
In layman's terms, she can't turn back because subconsciously, she doesn't want to. Due to Simon's Elysia, her human side has made her much more irrational and now it's finally an affect.
This affect isn't bad though, when testing out how to turn back, she experimented with how this new form effected her power and found that it combined the energy efficiency of her human form and destructive output of her dragon form.
She was already the current strongest true dragon and accidently made herself stronger by a irrational panic attack, 'How fun, Simon, the gift that keeps on giving.'
"Do you think that Simon will like this appearance?" Velzard asked sheepishly.
"Are you kidding, Dad will find you absolutely beautiful." Nyx said reassuringly. Her tone was like a child sounding so proud of their parent.
Velzard giggled as Nyx tried to cuddle up to her when Dino approached the two, "Lord Simon has awoken."
————————————————
Velzard and Nyx slowly entered the room to find Simon sitting up and Amanises, in her human form, feeding him.
Both of them turned their heads to the door to see both of them walk their way. Velzard immediately bowed down and slammed her head down onto the floor, "I'm sorry for attacking you two! Please forgive me!"
Both Simon and Nyx flinched at the sudden actions, "Zarry, please lift your head up. Nyx already gave us the diagnosis, we know that you weren't in your right mind so it's ok."
Velzard was so surprised to hear what Simon had said, she lifted her head to find a wolf launch itself at her and begin licking her face repeatedly.
Velzard began crying again, "Jeez, I don't deserve you guys at all."
Amanises stopped licking her face, "Maybe not, your people's skills could be worked on but you try your hardest and that's good enough for me… mom."
Amanises just went back to licking her face as Velzard got a transmission through her head, 'You gotta admit, this feels nice doesn't it?'
'It does, I see now that I have to change.'
'Why, we love you the just the way you are.'
'I know but I don't. I'm not changing for you or them, I need to change for myself. Thank you Simon.'
