Am I happy, of course I am. Not all mistakes and stupidity lead to unhappiness. "Jungkook!" shit! "I'm here,baby,are you okay?" Athena was ready to kill me, I understand her, it's my fault, I should have thought, remembered, but then I was so scared for her, so blinded by the joy that she was okay, tired and hurt, but alive and in my arms that I didn't think for a second about the consequences.
It was a little over two months ago that Athena and the Sakrans had their first solo battle. That's right, the mention of how she literally kicked us off the battlefield without even asking still grated on my nerves, but somehow I swallowed it, the hours of studying military strategy helped a lot to swallow it somehow. Since then, she had two more battles, the second one we unanimously decided that there was no point in getting in her way and Mykena kept in touch with her in case Athena needed support.
"At what radius can you form a pillar of fire?" Athena looked curiously at Tenari, who tilted her head and had her nose stuck in an old book. "Depends on how much energy I have, why?" Athena's flames maintained their power on their own, but their radius depended on the amount of energy she currently possessed. "I think I know how to stop the Sakrans without having to destroy an entire race and sacrifice ourselves" Tenari looked up from his book and pursed his lips thoughtfully.
"What?" Athena moved closer and stared at Tenari's book. "Look at this" she pointed at something and Athena gasped, looking up at Jungkook who raised an eyebrow questioningly. "And when Venus in Mars melts,The King will burn in flames" Tenari read aloud and also looked up at Jungkook. "You are Mars, and you are Venus" she pointed her finger first at Jungkook and then at Athena. "According to this prophecy, as old as it is, the first fire guardian increased her powers by falling in love with Mars and wanting to protect their lives and what they had built, their family." Athena bit her lip, similar to what had happened to her.
Athena began to master her powers to protect the man she loved, Jungkook. For the same reason, she trained to the point of exhaustion to increase her powers when the Sakrans entered her mind, trying to force her to kill him. For the same reason, she learned to use the heat of her flames, only self-sustaining energy for their power, which led to unbearable temperatures in a large radius around Athena, so when she fought, everyone stood at a great distance.
All but Jungkook, who though he felt the heat of her flames more and more, they didn't hurt him. Thus he was able to help her again. As Athena's flame radius depended on her energy to increase that radius, she again began to combine hers with Jungkook's, thus the knight returned to his position next to his guardian.
"Look at this too" Tenari put the old book down and picked up a much newer one compared to the previous one. Athena frowned as she read, causing Jungkook to walk around the library table and stand behind the two girls. "So that's how they closed the portals?" he looked at Tenari, wrapping his arms around Athena. "They used a strong telekinetic to direct the weapon through the portal." Tenari grunted again, flipping the page.
"And they did, while the others were fighting. By damaging the portal opening device, they blocked the Sakrans from the other side" Tenari nodded. "Do you think Tyra can do the same?" Athena asked hopefully. "Probably if the Sakrans are distracted enough and she can get the portal close" Tenari nodded again, closing the book. "There's just one problem" she added, leaning back heavily in the chair, and Jungkook and Athena looked down at her.
"We have no idea what the device in question looks like or where it is on the other side of the portal for Tyra to direct her power" Tenari explained and Jungkook's grip around Athena tightened. "Then?" Athena asked, intertwining her fingers with Jungkook's on her stomach. "Here you come" Tenari smirked. "Me? But I'm not telekinetic" Athena muttered in surprise.
"You're not, but you're practically a pyrokinetic" Jungkook realized and Athena looked at him with wide eyes. "Exactly" Tenari nodded with a smile. "The difference, which is also in our favor, is that you don't need to know where your flames are going, it's enough to point them through the portal and make sure they develop a high enough temperature to melt anything metallic, glass or any other material on the other side" Tenari's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she almost gasped as she explained her own plan.
The plan worked. It left me and Athena out of energy and almost dead, but it worked and for almost a month now, all I've been doing is enjoying my fiancee. Yes, I proposed marriage to Athena and she agreed, not that I would leave her any other choice, I am madly in love with this woman and nothing would stop me from marrying her, even if she refused. "What's up spark?" she groaned exhaustedly, showing me her hands and glaring at the burning towel in the kitchen sink.
"Did you lose control again" I hugged her gently, caressing her belly and she nodded with teary eyes. "Don't cry baby you know it will pass once your hormones get back to normal" I just made a huge mistake and Athena started sobbing and sniffling. Her powers are on an emotional level, and thanks to the last battle with the Sakrans, we learned the happy news that led to my current happiness and accelerated my marriage plans. Athena is carrying my child.
Medically explained, or at least that's how I understood it, after the weaker but clearly detectable pulse was found in the medical center along with Athena's. By the way, she was extremely unwell after the fight and was hospitalized for several days. According to the doctor, I hope I understood correctly, due to the high temperatures that Athena's body develops while she uses her power, her body digests and burns the substances at an extraordinary rate, which means that the moment she started taking the birth control and I I stopped protecting her during sex, it was just inevitable that she wouldn't get pregnant.
So, at the moment, we are both happily expecting a baby in seven months and three weeks. So, the other thing I found out is that because of the beginning of her pregnancy and because of the changes in her body, Athena often fell into different moods, which led to the loss of control over her powers and the momentary incident. "Oh baby, don't cry" damn, it hurts! Thanks to her going from happy to angry to sad mood, my body was currently on fire along with hers.
"Spark, you will burn me before I can see our child" she recoiled in horror and the flames disappeared. "I'm sorry, did it hurt you? Of course it hurt you, I'm sorry, I'm a terrible fiancee, I'll be a terrible mother!" Jungkook shook his head and smilingly pulled her into his arms again, stroking her back soothingly. "You know it's not true baby, you're going to be a wonderful mother and our child is going to love you like crazy, just like his father" she sniffed and looked up at him, Jungkook wiped the tears from her cheeks and pecked her lips gently.
"So you're not mad at me for setting the bed on fire?" Jungkook shook his head and lowered his lips to her jawline. "Or that I set your bike on fire?" a small moan escaped her lips as his trailed down her neck and his hands trailed down her hips as he picked her up, setting her down on the counter. "We need a family car anyway" Athena giggled and Jungkook looked up. "You can burn down the apartment and the world, my fire fairy, I will still love you, our child will still love you and when one day she grows up and you show her what you showed me, that future where fire rules the world ,then she will love you even more because this will be her world" Athena's tears welled up again and she sobbed loudly.
"How do you know it's going to be a girl?" she whispered and Jungkook chuckled shrugging his shoulders "I don't know, just my luck, it'll probably be a girl and with her mother being a firebender, our daughter will probably wield some other active force to destroy our home" Athena gasped in annoyance, but Jungkook silenced her protests with a kiss. "I love you Venus" she looked at him with all the love she felt for him, clasping her hands behind his back "I love you Mars!"
