[glow=purple,1,800]"Of course," Viviana said as she grinned widely, removing her Silksteel cloak and wrapping Valerie in it. She set the child in Cryodivus' other wing, and Valerie's eyes filled with a slightly apprehensive curiosity as she looked at the wing that cradled her, and the being to which it belonged.[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,500]Cryodivus pulled Valerie closer to him as well, and his grin only grew.
"Your children are strong," he said, his smile thinning but going nowhere. "And they certainly possess the beauty of angels." He looked up at the couple. "You should be proud."[/glow]

As soon as the doors to the Forge opened, and Pyrodeus appeared outside, Leyra's eyes snapped open and she pulled her consciousness out of the meditative state she'd been in. For reasons he hadn't fully explained yet, Taelyrn had focused their training on meditation after they'd returned to the Forge.
In her astral form, she'd nearly missed the opening of the doors, but when both demigods appeared outside, their presence stole her attention away from maintaining the heightened state. Not because of their energies, she'd become nearly accustomed to those, but because she knew that something big must be happening for both of them to appear so quickly.
As she stood and moved to the door, fearing the worst, she stopped as she saw a strange plane settled on the plateau outside. Opening her hands wide, she prepared to summon her swords, but then she saw what the plane had brought here, and her emotions shifted rapidly from fear to joy.
Running from the Forge entrance, Leyra locked Viviana in her sights, stopping just short of tackling the other woman before pulling her into a tight embrace. As the hug relaxed, Leyra opened her mouth to ask where the twins were, when she noticed the pair of infants nestled in Cryodivus' wings. Her mouth snapped shut, and she settled for a wide smile as she left one arm slung around Viv's shoulders.
"What are their names?" she asked, her voice soft.

[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana grinned as she saw Leyra running out of the Forge, hugging her back as the Angel of Darkness embraced her.
"That's Viviana, our daughter," she said, a proud smile on her face. "And our son, Victor," she said, pointing to her son.[/glow]

[glow=gray,2,500]Taelyrn was left somewhat dumbfounded as Leyra's astral form suddenly dissipated, but then he noticed what his counterpart was already reacting to: the sudden arrival of both Pyrodeus and Cryodivus outside the Forge.
Bringing himself back to his body, he came out of his meditative state just in time to see Leyra dash out of the Forge, and his hand fell to the grip of his sword in response. However, as he looked outside of the Forge himself, his hand fell away from his blade, finding it difficult not to follow Leyra's example.
Walking quickly over to the group, Taelyrn stopped in his tracks when he saw the twins Cryodivus was holding. A small smile crossed his face as he moved closer, approaching Visignis and Pyrodeus.
"It seems Leyra's done enough hugging for the both of us, so I'll spare you. Congratulations, Visignis."[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis smiled proudly. "Thank you, Taelyrn," he said. He looked at Cryodivus and the children he held. "That's Valerie," he said, pointing to the crimson-haired baby in Cryodivus' wing. "She was born a few minutes after Victor. That's your goddaughter, man." His smile grew. "You wanna hold her?
He then looked at Cryodivus. "If you're done holding them, that is."[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,500]”Of course,” Cryodivus said. He extended the wing which cradled Valerie toward Taelyrn. He then turned toward Leyra, and extended the wing which held Victor toward her. "Would you like to hold Victor?" Cryodivus asked her.[/glow]

[glow=gray,2,500]Taelyrn's smile faltered for a brief moment as he lifted Valerie, wrapped in silksteel, from Cryodivus' wing. Once he settled the child in his arms, however, his nerves settled, and his smile returned wider than before.
Glancing at both parents, he also noticed Leyra moving to hold Victor, and he felt a sudden flush of warmth across his face. Devoting a small amount of his attention to hiding the blush with his powers, Taelyrn returned his attention to the infant in his arms.
"Stop me if you've heard this one already, but she's beautiful. They both are." Taelyrn said, one of his tendrils glowing in different colors just beyond Valerie's reach.[/glow]

Taking Victor from Cryodivus' wing, Leyra found herself at a loss for words as she cradled the baby boy in her arms. She barely suppressed a laugh as she looked between the parents and their newborn children, and contented herself with gently rocking Victor until she could find her words again.
As Taelyrn spoke, Leyra's gaze quickly passed over him, and she could feel herself smiling more widely as she saw him catch Valerie's attention with one of his tendrils. Keeping her voice low, so as to avoid embarrassing her counterpart, she spoke directly to Viviana.
"He's been worrying about this whole godfather thing since Vis told him and Cryo about it. I don't know if I'll tell him yet, but he seems to be getting the hang of it just fine."

[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana let a giggle escape as Valerie began to wave her arms, reaching for the glowing tendril but unable to grasp it. "Yeah, he seems to be doing just fine." She grinned widely as Viviana seemed to stop reaching for the color-changing tendril before her, content to simply watch it dance. "She seems to like him."
She looked down at Victor, who was reaching for Leyra's hair. After a few attempts, his infantile fingers formed a fist, and he tucked his arm in by his side as he yawned, his eyes becoming heavy. "I gotta admit," she said, "a lot of stories Visignis told about when he was a baby, I chalked it up to hubris. But they're both acting like they're a month old. They were born a few hours ago."
She then smiled weakly at Leyra. "I'm sorry if I seem a little spacy," she said. "It's just been an exhausting day." She looked back down at Victor, now napping in Leyra's arms. "A good day, but an exhausting one."[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis nodded. "Alright, good idea," he said. "You look like you could use a little rest."
Visignis gently lifted Victor from Leyra's arms, and walked toward the jet. "Okay, wheels up in 2 minutes," Visignis shouted as he walked toward the Quasar.[/glow]

[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana smiled tiredly as she grasped Valerie, still wrapped in silksteel, from Taelyrn. She walked slowly toward the plane, giving the group an exhausted wave as the stairs retracted. The jets started up, the plane ascending straight into the air. The Quasar flew a few hundred feet into the air before thrust caused it to move forward, quickly picking up speed and shortly flying out of sight.[/glow]
