They found me just outside their front door.
As they brought me in, Marcilene was smiling and running around Steel as he brought me deeper into the cabin that they lived in.
A fireplace had wood crackling faintly. We got closer tot the sound.
Into the living room that had what seemed to be an armor rack and gauntlets. The armor rack was stacked with giant leather parts, that had some metal woven into it, and the gauntlets, giant metal gauntlets that seemed to weight a fraction of the sun was just there.
'Who owns something like that?'
Two deer heads...? Like one deer, two heads...?
'Where would you even find an animal like that?'
Steel was holding me out and then he shook me softly up then down. The little girl beside him was trying to jump up and grab at me in the air.
Her aura was spiky, as if excited and ecstatic. Showing she was really happy. The same could be said with Steel's giant, muscled figure. His red aura, wasn't spiky, but relaxed, calm.
She laughed, and instinctively I felt the need to laugh as well, even though I was ever so slightly scared.
"Look dad! He's laughing. He's laughing."
Steel looked down at Marcilene and smiled. His aura had a small spike, the same way with Marcilene's aura.
"Yes, I see that Marci."
He continued to softly shake me in the air, then my feeling of happiness was completely trumped by my fear and... I pooped.
I got the poop scares.
'I'm so embarrassing. I done crap myself.'
My eyes became watery as the aura's get obscured by growing tears.
"And now... He's crying."
Steel looks at me as I drop some tears on his face, then begin to do a slow, pouty cry.
"You think he doesn't like when I talk?"
Through the tears I see Marcilene's aura shrink into her.
My tears slowly dim as I look at her and see that her aura shows that she is sad, because she thinks I don't like her.
Steel looks down to Marcilene as she begins to tears up, but tries to hold it in.
"No, I don't think Lazuli thinks that. I think he's just hungry or..."
I pushed my lips together as I try to speak words, with my newly grown in mouth muscles.
"Poop."
I'm able to get the word, I wanted out.
"Poop."
I laugh, because that's such a stupid first word.
Marcilene, stops her tears from falling then laughs along with me.
"Dad. His first word was Poop!"
She falls to her knees, with tears in her eyes, she laughing uncontrollably hard.
"His first word was "Poop."
Steel on the other hand, now looks at me like I'm a stinky monsters.
"Nice... and we don't have anything to make him wear after this one... Um.."
Steel looks around the room, in thought, or for something to wear.
"Marci... go get the bath ready."
Marcilene stops laughing immediately and gets into a sitting position. Her aura that was spiking with laughter, stopped, like she was afraid of something.
"Go and get water for the bath...? Outside?"
Steel shakes his head as he looks at Marcilene:
"No. Not outside. We have bathwater inside already."
Steel brings me to his chest and holds me with one arms as he holds out another hand to Marcilene, and he patted her head:
"I'd never force you to go outside unless you were ready to go out there."
'Why won't she go outside.'
I say as I feel the absolute strength of Steel's arm. hold me up, his bicep the size of my body. I'm surprised that the house is able to accommodate for this giant.
Steel then turns to me:
"Let's get you to a bath, yeah?"
"I'll go get it ready!"
Marcilene, rushes quickly out of, what seems to be the living room. Her footsteps jumping loudly as each step makes a thumping sound, then her footsteps get to far to hear.
"Let's get upstairs for the bath as well."
Footsteps are heard upstairs now, as Steel holds my small form close to his chest this time with both arms.
We exit the living room and head toward stairs. Each step, feels like I'm ascending the bean stalk that Jack planted.
The Steel then puts me against his chest and now my visibility is non-existent, besides the plain white shirt that he has on. Another thing that is only visible is the red colored aura that he's emitting, it feels warm, like a staying under the sun, with a cool breeze.
I begin to nuzzle into his chest, as if he's my bed, then I wiggle my butt. I still feel the poop in my pants.
'Just ruined my whole mood.'
After a few seconds. The steps up seems to stop and Steel begins to walk forward.
a door opens then Marcilene's voice is heard, the high pitched yet, smooth voice:
"I got the bath ready, but what does that mean... Does that mean that, you going to wash his ass in the water?"
She pauses for a second, as if waiting for an answer, then she continued:
"I didn't take a bath yet, will I bath in poop water?"
Steel turns me around then pushes me away from his chest. Into Marcilene's arms.
"Let me go get a smaller bucket, then the books for Soul Magic."
He then walks off and away from both me and Marcilene as we stand beside a door.
Marcilene grabs me into a tight grip. To make sure I don't fall down and then end up crying due to the fall.
"Daddy is going to show you Soul Magic. Yay."
She begins twiddling with my lips, as I giggle.
'Magic?! Like fantasy stuff?'
I tilt my head at those words.
She follows my head tilt then laughs:
"You look like you understand me already. You're so funny."
Her aura is very responsive whenever she does something. Her long ears even perk up when Steel said that he's going to do magic.
'What is this magic anyway?'
Heavy footsteps are heard as the giant walks closer to us. I turn my head to see Steel with a big bucket, maybe for my bath, and then a book in his other hand. A BIG book.
"Excuse me."
Marcilene stands in front of the door, she takes a big step away from the door, Steel opens the door, steps inside, then places the big bucket beside the wooden bath tub.
'Wooden bath tub..?'
I make a confused noise as I look at the tub.
The bathroom is very slightly lit up, with a candle being held up in the cornor of the room, to light up the room.
Marcilene, points at Steel:
"Shhh. Dad needs to concentrate, he doesn't usually use the Soul magic like this so he has to read the book carefully to make water."
She then puts a hand on my lips.
'Okay... Move. Your. Finger.'
I contemplate on biting her finger, but I just leave it.
I chuckle.
'Because me, an eighteen year old baby..? I see how it wouldn't be weird now.'
Marcilene smiles, then she leaves her finger there:
"Okay Lazuli. Time to be quiet now, dad needs the focus."
Steel opens the book wide and he stands in front of the bucket for a while, as he flips through some pages:
"Okay. What page is Water magic."
He continues to swipe through the pages and I begin to feel the sloppy wetness of my crap soaking back into my booty hole.
'Please hurry.'
"Coo."
Steel looks at me:
"Okay, yes, lets get some water to wash your ass."
Then he goes right back to the book. Flipping a few more times. Before he slams his finger on a page:
"Okay. I got it."
His aura begins to jump around his body, as if doing a great big dance for a party. It hops, swirls, spikes.
'What is happening?'
"Coo."
Marcilene speaks to me, in a soft whisper:
"Dad is going to do magic."
Steel begins to speak, as if in Christian tongues. his hand held out in front of him as he looked into the book, speaking complete gibberish, but it didn't seem like that completely because the red aura was still dancing.
He was getting loud, his voice rising, it felt like he could very well end up losing his voice, his voice grows louder and louder.
I look at Marcilene, my heart beating fast afraid of what will happen, but she just has a giant smile on her face, as she looks at Steel with a smile on her face.
'What is happening?!'
"Coo."
Steel gets progressively louder until his voice drops slightly, just to rise once more:
"Provide us Water!"
The aura rushes to his hand and makes the color a dark shade of blue, as a huge block of water comes out of Steel's hand, then lands in the water with a SPLASH.
'WHAT?!'
"COO!"
Steel steps back from the tub and Marcilene aura spikes heavily, jumping with excitement.
Steel looks at Marcilene and smiles, his face a little sweaty but, thats it.
"Now we can have separated baths."
Steel walks over to us and takes me out of Marcilene's hands.
"Magic! Lazuli! You saw him make the magi with water! That's super cool and dad doesn't even specialize in water magic!"
Steel pats her head:
"Okay, let's calm down Marci. Go into the bath, I'll bathe Lazuli and watch you at the same time."
I've been stunned for a while the whole conversation that they had goes over my head for a second, until the end.
'We're going to bathe together?!'
"Coo?"
A very confused Coo comes out of my mouth.
Steel pulls me up to his face:
"Let's get stinky butt into the bathe. Yeah?"
He tickles my stomach, but my mind is still stuck on the fact, that i'll be in the same bathroom as a the young girl. The bath doesn't even have a curtain.
Steel start to take my clothes off and walk into the bathrrom at the same time, Marcilene is already in the bath by the time Steel gets to my clothes so that's okay.
Steel gets my garments off. I was wearing a onesie, never though I'd ever do that.
Steel then begins to take off my underwear and it is SOAKED it crap.
Steel just drops it on the ground beside himself:
"That stinks Lazi."
Marcilene was in the water before she pops back out again.
"Lazi..? That's a cool nickname!"
She then looks at naked, dirty butted me:
"What do you think of Lazi? Lazuli?"
'I don't really know, never had a nickname before...'
"Coooo."
Marcilene smiles:
"He likes it..."
She jumps out of the water. Splashing water everywhere.
I looked to the ceiling immediately.
"From now on, my little brother is Lazi!"
Steel looks at her with a displeased face:
"You have just splashed water everywhere."
She dunks herself back into the water, her ears growing slightly red.
"Sorry."
"Now it's time for Lazi's bath."
Steel holds me tight as he slowly places me into the bath.
I feel a slight rush of the cold water, then a small reminder of what happened during my time alive.
My hands grip Steel's arms with every ounce of strength that I can with my tiny hands.
"Calm down, Lazi... I'm right here."
Steel soothes tries soothing me with his voice, and at first I think it works, but then he lets me into the water fully. My heart does a full jump, then Steel smile, and pats my head.
"There you go."
I feel like screaming but the aura coming off from Steels hand feels calming to me and I nuzzle it a little.
"There you go Lazi... You're okay."
This feels very calming, my body naturally feels the need to want to nap when I'm in his hands. He then begin to splash water on my body to fully wet my body, and I saw the strands of hair cover my left eye.
The crimson red color, that faintly hovered over Steel's own body disappeared.
"It still is crazy that you have two eye colors... huh?"
He wipes the hair from my eye and the color that was hovering over him, came back. The crimson red can only be seen with my left eye.
"We should check, just to make sure that you aren't in any immediate danger? But that'll have to wait until tomorrow. We get you cleaned up and then to sleep."
Marcilene jumps out the water again.
I closed my eyes.
"Sleep time!"
Water splashes every where.
"Marci... Water."
Steel just raised his eyebrows in disapproval. She slinks back into the water.
Steel finishes washing my dirty butt and at the same time Marci begins to finish in the bath as well, and walk out... No towel?
I obviously look away like any regular person would.
"Good to know that your not a perverted baby."
Steel tells me with a smile, then pulls his hand out with a chuck of shit.
"But you're dirty."
He puts his hand back down into the water and washes the crap away, then with another swipe he makes sure all the poop is off my butt before he transfers me into the bigger tub and finishes bathing me there.
After a few minutes he brings me over to out to his bed room, which is the last door at the end of the hallway of the upstairs area.
He brings me into a bedroom and changes me into clothes that I can't fit at all, then places me on the bed next to himself. After a while of being snuggled by him I begin to drift off into sleep.
Until the open door is knocked on.
"Dad can I sleep in here tonight... with Lazi?"
Marcilene is at the entrance of the door, at the foot of the bed as she looks at steel then me.
Wearing white, light linen pajamas.
Steel nods his head, then waves her over.
She smiles and runs around the bed to the other side of me.
The bed in the room is big enough to fit all of us with no one falling.
Marcilene snuggles into me as she begins to fall asleep, I feel my eyes begin to grow to drowsy and I end up falling asleep, from the warmth of the arua that Steel emitted.
I feel the bed creak and the aura move away, and my eyes open slightly to see Steel walk away:
"Time to clean the shit bucket."
My eyes close again unable to stay awake any longer.
