|Days after the Extermination|

----------
•~| 🤍3rd Person POV🤍 |~•
----------

Days after the extermination have passed, wounds were healed, but yet that day still reminded them of what had occurred that day. Memories still flooded their heads even as days have passed. It wouldn't be something easy to forget, but eventually it would be a mere memory and nothing more.

In meantime, Alastor had recovered from his injures and wounds. New scars were left from the extermination. (Y/N) was fine, but everything that occurred at the studio had spreed all across hell. Now seeing how no one no longer saw her as weak, but more wrath had unleashed within that day.

Rumors had spread all throughout. One of them being is if Velvet was still even alive or perhaps dead. (Y/N) did aim for her death, but unaware if she is or isn't still remains a mystery to everyone, but (Y/N) only knows. Let's say she has her own interesting tricks of her own.

As for Melinoe, no harm came to her. She was perfectly fine. Expect for the fact that she shed her own first blood, but neither less she was fine. In fact Alastor had been helping her with her powers. He would take the time to teach her about her powers. It would be best Melinoe learned how to protect herself now in case anything were to happen. Melinoe had yet to show any of her mother's powers yet.

(Y/N)'s powers didn't show up till she was six, Alastor could only assume they would appear when Melinoe was six, just a few weeks away. Meanwhile, Alastor had been teaching Melinoe how to use her powers and learn to control them as well without being afraid in his study. "Now, let's try one more time, Melinoe. You've done well, my dear, but I would like to see your little fire trick." Alastor says, kneeling down at her level.

Melinoe nodded, and flicked her wrist, she made what it seem to be a small ring of fire. "Like this daddy?" The small deer demon child asked, looking at Alastor, "Just like that! You've done well, dear!" Alastor clasped his hand together, Melinoe smiled and made the ring of fire bigger surrounding them. "I wanted to push myself a bit more daddy! I practice whenever your not teaching me!"

"Very good, Melinoe! Have you been practicing your shadow manipulation as well?" Alastor asked, "I've been practicing them, but I have still have trouble controlling them." Melinoe says. Alastor taps his chin, thinking for a moment before returning his attention to his daughter, "Then, I suggest we practice this next time." He suggests, smiling at his daughter.

Melinoe nods her head, "Does that mean I can go play with Zagreus now?" She asked her father with a soft smile on her face. "Is that what you named that hellhound?" Alastor questioned raising a brow, "Do you not like the name I gave him?" Alastor sighed, "No, sweetheart, I'm just surprised how you were able to convince me to let you keep that-" pausing, Alastor looked down at Melinoe.

Melinoe arms were crossed, her foot was tapping against the floor. "Go play with your pet now, Melinoe." Alastor says as she nods and runs out of his study. He merely sighed before walking over to his armchair and sitting down, "How could I ever say 'no' to Melinoe?" Alastor thought to himself.

His thoughts were interrupted at the sound of someone knocking at the door, "Alastor could we talk for a moment?" Knowing it was (Y/N) Alastor stood up from his seat and made his way over to the door. Opening it, he let her in before closing the door behind her, "I just wanted to check up on Alastor. Still kinda over edge with everything that happened..." she says.
