Mirela was sleeping on her side with one arm thrown protectively over Anya, her dark tail curled contentedly around her leg.

Klaus looked at them for a long moment, a subtle warmth touching his chest. He loved seeing them sleep…
He quietly closed the iron door, sealing the cabin shut.

A tiny spark of blue electricity and a node of crimson energy flared simultaneously near his neck.
Sparky and Valeria materialized on his shoulders… the chibi Lightning Fairy crossing her tiny arms, while the miniature Crimson Sharpshooter sat quietly with her red eyes locked onto him.
