"Bye, Uncle Harun. Don't let the training yard fall apart, and please take care of my dad."
"It is my duty. Be safe, little one," Harun said, his own voice not steady.
"Bye, Thalassa. Please take care of my auntie and don't let her cry too much."
Thalassa let out something between a laugh and a sob. "I will."
"Bye, Auntie Iruna. You were the best. You were the best thing that ever happened to me too. I love you so much, and it makes me sad when you cry. While I'm gone, please don't love Thalassa more than me, and don't make her your favorite."
Thalassa laughed, thinking, Never in centuries did I imagine my love rival would be a five-year-old hybrid.
Iruna waved her hand. "I love you too, sweetie, and I will always love you. Please stay safe and always listen to the elders. We will always be waiting for you. Also, make sure to eat six times a day, okay? Sleep early, always bathe, don't use magic for unnecessary things and don't forget to brush your hair."
