Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 988: Dianna’s and Katarina’s progress back in Distancia.

Author Note: The hour has changed in my country today, so for the next few months, this will be the daily publishing hour! I love you lots, dears! Have fun~.

************************************************

Back in Distancia, things were moving forward fast while also becoming peaceful. After the attack on Yasenia, the top powers thoroughly investigated and fully tackled the last signs of rebellion. A peaceful era started, even without Yasenia's presence as the pivotal role.

The seniors stepped back again, giving way to the newer generations. Between the youngest generations, there was a group that was very popular and known almost everywhere. Those were Yasenia's children.

After their first escapade, which ended in the attack on the maids, the children's mindset changed slightly, and they all became much more hardworking. This allowed their potential to shine, as their skills made significant leaps.

Dianna and Katarina were finally able to transform into their human forms. The process was slow, but they appeared in their adolescent shapes after a while.

Cecile, Andrea, Angel, and Evelyn all were there, smiling as they took shape. The first one to complete the transformation was Dianna.

Andrea crossed her arms and smiled. "Oho~, we have quite a beauty here."

Evelyn looked down and clicked her tongue. "Kali's and Yasenia's child, she of course is gifted."

Cecile smacked her shoulder lightly. "Where are you looking at? Be a bit more dignified."

Evelyn raised her eyebrow. "I am looking at her attributes~. No one spoke about her breasts specifically! The fact that you smacked me proves that you were thinking about it!"

Cecile couldn't answer, so she just deadpanned and looked toward Dianna again. "She is pretty."

Evelyn snorted. "Hey, don't change the subject!"

Angel smiled widely. "She has Yasenia's black hair with Kali's waviness! Very pretty hair~... Oh? Wow~."

Evelyn nodded. "Her eyes also have an amber hue, perhaps the most different besides Estrella. Also, yeah, her hair is quite crazy. Is that natural?"

Andrea answered with a chuckle. "I mean, they all have her eyes. So, yeah, even a bit of variation is already very noticeable."

Evelyn pointed at Dianna and said. "Hey, can you speak about her hair?"

"I am looking at it. I don't know what else to say." Andrea shrugged.

Evelyn pointed at Dianna and spoke. "How about you speak about that gorgeous color gradient! Beautiful black hair that changes to a beautiful golden with a gradient! How does that even work? Gorgeous! Pretty! Our Dianna is beautiful as expected!"

Dianna was a relatively short woman, around 164 centimeters tall. She had large breasts, a slim waist, and shapely hips that perfectly highlighted her beautiful legs. Meanwhile, her hair, as Evelyn described, started in a beautiful black color that started changing into golden at around three-quarters of the waist-length hair. Finally, her facial features were a mix of Kali's gentleness and Yasenia's beauty, with a natural added touch of rogueness.

Overall, a charming and beautiful girl. Moreover, she didn't inherit Yasenia's dual genitalia, being a pure girl. Her [Innate Clothes] started materializing around her, forming a charming black off-shoulder shirt with the upper edge folding outward and decorated with gorgeous flowers. Then, below the upper clothes, a long and silky purple skirt with a side slit unfolded, covering her legs entirely.

Evelyn clapped. "She has inherited my fashion sense! Great! Gorgeous! I love it!" The girls didn't disagree. The dress was indeed lovely.

Dianna blinked twice and looked down at her hands. Seeing the humanoid hands, a surge of joy came to her. 'I did it!' However, her smile flattened after she remembered that Kali and Yasenia were not there. 'When will Mama and Mommy come back?'

Cecile approached and spoke softly. "This is great. Can you imagine how surprised they will be when they see you like this? I am sure they will be extremely proud of you, Dianna."

Dianna felt her stifled emotions surging again, and she grinned widely. "Right! I will surprise them more by starting to practice Body and Spiritual cultivation!"

Cecile rubbed her chin. "We'll see if you can, dear."

Andrea nodded as she arrived by their side. "As Cecile says, you are a genuinely pure beast, Dianna. We don't know if you can cultivate outside your beast realms."

Dianna snorted. "Mommy and Mama could, and I am their daughter! I will make sure that I can!"

Mirrory commented. "Honestly, if she really can, this can be quite a breakthrough. Yasenia's children would be classified as a completely new species."

Evelyn asked, curious. "What do you mean?"

Mirrory spoke. "To my knowledge, Yasenia is one of the first beasts to have managed to practice human cultivation paths while being a pure beast. I don't know if those who managed it in the past left progenitors behind or if their descendants' blood eventually thinned so much that it became useless. However, I can assure you that if Yasenia's progeny shows those qualities and the bloodline remains slightly pure, they will take everyone by surprise."

Dianna looked at Mirrory and said with a wide smile. "You'll see, Aunty Mirrory! I'll be able to do that!"

Mirrory smiled faintly. "I'll be looking forward to that, child."

"Dianna!" The fox dragon snorted. "You need to call me Dianna, Aunty Mirrory!"

Mirrory laughed through her nose. "Sure, Dianna."

"Great!" Dianna smiled widely and looked toward the other side of the room. "How is little sister Katarina doing?"

Cecile answered softly. "Her energy feels stable. Her aura is getting thicker. She will probably have no problems."

Angel looked over and said. "The formations look great as well. There is nothing to worry about." Angel smiled at Cecile and patted her shoulder.

Cecile nodded back and sighed. "Almost two years already…" Cecile looked skyward and muttered. "I wonder how much longer until they come back?"

Andrea hummed. "Her time limit was around two or three years, right? If they weren't sure that they could save Yasenia without sacrificing Distancia, they would already be back and preparing."

Mirrory nodded. "Yes. Even if they take longer, that doesn't mean that Yasenia is in danger. They also have Tatyana and Valeria with them, so they are probably safe."

After that, a month went by, and eventually, Katarina's transformation arrived. Her body transformed, gaining a humanoid shape and revealing a little girl that looked as if she were made of ice.

A gorgeous and satin-like silver-colored hair that reached below her waist flowed behind her, similar to that of her mother. Her golden eyes, inherited from Yasenia, glowed piercingly, as her facial features, even when young, exuded piercing coldness. It was a coldness different from Cecile's.

Cecile's coldness stemmed from her indifference and aloofness to everything around her. She just didn't care about anything, making her look cold. Meanwhile, Katarina's coldness could even be called ruthlessness. It was a gaze that pierced deeply into the soul, while her facial features were stiff like that of a general's.

Cecile had an elegant coldness, while Katarina's was an aggressive coldness. Her height resembled Yasenia's, almost reaching her dragon mother's stature. Her slim body added to her overall charm, making Katarina like a piece of ice perfectly carved into a beautiful girl.

With a stream of snowflakes, a white dress appeared around her body with silver armored plates on her shoulders, chest, and hips. She looked like a Valkyrie ready to go to war.

Cecile's icy blue eyes shone with softness as she approached with a smile. "How are you feeling, Little Feather?"

Katarina looked at her hands and muttered. "Strange… The balance is very different from usual."

Cecile laughed. "Indeed. Balancing yourself in two arms and without wings is difficult, right? You need to place your weight on your legs and use the tip of your feet as a way to manage your position, while the heels take most of the body weight. Your arms are also needed as you walk, similar to wings. But, instead of moving them out a bit, try balancing the opposite arm to the leg you move."

Katarina listened attentively to her mother's words and took a step forward. Her body tilted sideways, and Katarina moved her arms as if they were wings out of pure reflex. Of course, with no wings, Katarina just looked cute as she fell sideways onto the ground.

Cecile softly encouraged. "It is okay. You just need to practice, like with everything. Remember, Katarina, the important thing is not how many times you fail but when you manage to master something. Of course…"

Katarina smiled and continued Cecile's sentence. "Of course, we need to know that sometimes, trying too much is useless, so we must evaluate if the methods we are using are right while trying over and over again. There is a way, but we don't need to brute force it."

Cecile nodded twice. "Right, right. And…"

Katarina giggled. "And sometimes, forcing it is the correct option, so we need to be careful about that as well."

Cecile smiled widely. "It is good that you know!"

Katarina raised her silvery eyebrow. "You are not going to continue, Mama?"

The Phoenix Woman leaned down and lifted Katarina. "I am naggy, but if my Little Feather knows it, there is no need for me to repeat it, no?"

Katarina blinked, confused. "Hm? That's not like you."

Cecile looked up at her tall daughter and sighed. "Well… I am just… Hm. Katarina."

Katarina was startled and asked. "Yes? What's wrong, Mama? Did I do something wrong?"

Cecile shook her head. "Not at all. I was wondering, am I too nagging?"

Katarina blinked twice, confused. "Huh? What are you talking about, Mama?"

Cecile scratched her cheek and smiled. "Well, I heard a few mothers say how their children didn't like it when they nagged them, so, um. Am I too naggy? Do I bother you? I am sorry if I ever did, Little Feather."

Katarina lifted her hands, making strange gestures as she didn't know how to express herself non-verbally yet. "Wait, wait, wait. Mama, you don't need to think about that! I like your nagging a lot!"

Cecile blinked twice. "Hm? Do you?"

Katarina laughed. "Of course I do! Isn't this part something Mommy also loves about you?"

Cecile nodded. "Well, it is the truth that she has never complained. She even usually tells me that I am cute and that she loves me lots when I speak. Often, she would cuddle me and listen to me, or sometimes, we did the opposite. It is quite nice to speak to her and tell her my thoughts. Katarina, you should find someone who treats you nicely like that, okay? You are a very charming girl, so you won't have any problems appearance-wise. However, don't let appearances deceive you. You need to always have an eye out for…"

Katarina's lips arched fainty when Cecile completely forgot that they were talking about this kind of situation. Still, she attentively listened as her mother spoke and told her many things. She jumped from subject to subject, and she really tried to cover all bases, making her look quite adorable, as she explained with her usual deadpan. 'Hehehe, no wonder Mommy cuddles Mama when she is like this. Even I have the temptation to do that!'

Of course, instead of cuddling Cecile, she just leaned down and snuggled in Cecile's arms. Cecile accommodated her tall daughter, using her wings to cover her body, and she continued speaking for quite a while. Katarina closed her eyes, and Cecile's voice flowed like a cold stream, protecting her entire body and making her feel comfortable.
