31: Nana Boom Boom.

Nana Boom Boom was an enigmatic figure in today's fairy society, perhaps the only one Jorgen had any real respect for, even though she was much stronger than the lady. But that wasn't what made her special, no, it was the fact that her baking was powerful enough to create a certain super-powerful magic muffin. 

Whenever a godchild completed a full year without revealing the existence of their magical godparents, it was she who would bake them such a dessert, the only drawback being that the ingredients were so rare and so little was made that she didn't have time to practice the recipe, so this mystical food ended up tasting terrible. 

Why are we talking about this now? Well, because Samus was just holding one of those muffins in her hand, but to find out how we got to this point, you have to go back a bit. 

"Have you thought about what to call it? I see you have a pretty quick mind, you must have thought of such things in the short time the egg has existed," Nana asked, she wasn't a gossipy person, but she had a special interest in Samus. 

To her, the blonde was crazy or on the verge of it, but in a good way. Only a madwoman would be as dedicated to her craft as the young woman in front of her and would take every opportunity to improve herself, she could relate to that. 

When you have an eternal existence ahead of you, not only do you see and learn a lot, but you have to find ways to not get bored; though time behaves differently for fairies, it can still be long. 

Nana Boom Boom has a fascination with explosives, hence her nickname, and for the past few millennia she has dabbled in baking, and although almost all of her cakes, brownies, and cookies were explosives, no one could deny their taste. 

They were all gathered in the living room, Samus carefully eating one of the old fairy's cookies, she had discovered that if she ate them slowly, they wouldn't explode, which made Nana smile.

"Well, I've been thinking of some names, and since this egg is a fusion of my DNA and Ciri's, it's obvious that it will be a girl in the future, so I've come up with some names," Samus said, the blonde had some crumbs on the side of her lips, but she didn't care.

In her lap was the aforementioned egg, contained in a special glass box that was sturdy enough to survive unforeseen situations. It had some symbols and lines drawn on it that allowed the inside of the box to be suitable for the proper care of an egg of that size. 

"Have you thought of names? It's been less than ten minutes," Ciri was amazed, sure, anyone could come up with some names in that amount of time, but the conviction in Samus' words indicated that she had some good ones, and getting to that point in such a short time was a surprise. 

"The girl is skilled," Jorgen said as he picked up another exploding cookie and bit into it with glee, even though it exploded right in his face, not that it would have affected him anyway. 

"It does. Unlike Miss Ciri, young Samus has made full use of each of her abilities," Nana said, catching the two young women's attention. 

"What do you mean?" asked Ciri, a little uncomfortable with the subtext that she wasn't using her abilities to the fullest. 

"My dear, the day will come when you will be able to do many amazing things with the abilities your bloodline gives you, but for now you don't even really know any magic system beyond some abilities derived from your lineage. 

Don't be surprised, I'm old enough to see things others don't," Nana smiled at the surprised look on Ciri's face.

It wasn't every day that you could surprise a recognized figure in many universes, even if it was her younger version. Then Nana noticed that Samus didn't seem very surprised by her words, just staring at her while eating one of her cookies. 

"On the other hand, Samus is essentially a normal human, though I can tell her body was shaped by a higher being using primordial energy, not that you have much of an advantage, do you dear?" the smile on Nana's face as she watched Samus' serious facade crumble made Jorgen feel a shiver. 

Oh, poor girl, she got Nana's attention," Jorgen said a short prayer to Samus in his heart as he took another cookie, they were too delicious to stop now. 

"I've never talked to anyone about this," Samus was visibly annoyed that one of her secrets had been revealed so easily, but what was she doing putting herself in front of a being that might have been created when the universe first appeared?

Noticing her anxiety, Nana poured a cup of hot tea and offered it to the blonde, who began to calm down as she drank it, while Ciri looked at Samus, not quite understanding the old woman's words, but knowing that she was hearing something very important. 

"My dear, don't worry, you are neither the first nor the last in your situation. Whatever the reason the Being created you, there is nothing wrong with you. What I wanted to emphasize is that you are a human being, a special one, but ultimately a human being. 

Your body is special because you have a fundamental inability to contain extraordinary energies, something you've already noticed, haven't you?" asked Nana, and Samus nodded as she sipped her tea, which tasted delicious.

"But you know your body better than I do, that's why I say that you use all your abilities, I notice that you have a very high affinity to environmental and universal energy, I can even see traces of energy orbiting around you, many cosmic beings would be jealous of you for that," the old fairy's praise made Samus smile, who didn't like to be praised?

"But your eyes are dangerous, both to yourself and to others," Nana's mood changed abruptly, the room falling silent as the younger ones watched Nana looking down at the egg now in Ciri's lap. 

"You attract the supernatural, you see the supernatural, and with your aptitude for alchemy, you work in the supernatural. But your eyes are much more than meets the eye, and yet you used them to their full capacity when you saw something that a weak mortal like you should not see.

You're lucky it was Cosmo and not Jorgen or me, otherwise you wouldn't have time for anything, every trace of you, including your baser instincts, would have disappeared, leaving only a hollow body. Although you have seen a truth and one that agrees with you, you may be out of luck in the future. 

There are things, beings, that should not be perceived or understood, things that should never be known, things that it is best not to look at," Nana emphasized the word look, pointing directly to the essence of the matter. 

"You must control your desires, as strange as that sounds to an accomplished alchemist like you. You were able to get out today because you had luck on your side, but when you see the cosmic horrors that lie dormant in the deepest corners? You may have a mouth, but you won't be able to scream," Nana stared into the blue eyes of Samus, who was breaking into a cold sweat from the old woman's serious words. 

The young Samus never thought about it, what if she ended up seeing an outside god? As strong as she was, she was essentially a human, she was not destined to become a famous goddess like Ciri due to space-time issues her entire path is being explored by herself. 

Yes, she now had a basic tool for her future path, but it was like wearing jeans to walk better on a path with thorny bushes, they would lessen the scratches, but inevitably she would suffer. Samus realized that she had been in a strange state lately, seeing and learning new things. 

Maybe it was the tea she was drinking, maybe it was the effect of her alchemical work, but her mind seemed to be clearing after a long time of cloudiness. When did she start going crazy, creating and building things without ever stopping? The creation of the T-Path was extremely dangerous, but soon she used it to travel to another universe. 

Today's outburst, where she almost lost herself in the chaos of her mind, was another example, though she didn't like to think of it that way, the egg that now shared half of her DNA was something a little impulsive, though she didn't regret it, it was the perfect moment and it allowed her to take a step she thought impossible. 

Samus looked at Ciri, who seemed to be worried about her, but the gray-haired girl wisely remained silent, knowing that the blonde had to go through this process because it was something she had gone through herself. 

Samus let out the air she was holding, relaxing as the universal energy stirred at her command, silver points of light appearing around her, adorning her like stars as the blonde seemed to experience a flash of understanding. 

Nana Boom Boom was pleased to see that the promising girl seemed to have achieved something that many alchemists she had observed in the past had failed to do: harmony. As if the state she was in gave the blonde even more courage, Samus approached Ciri and planted a kiss on her lips. 

Well, Nana did not expect this outcome, she just wanted to clear the fog in the girl's mind, in all her experience she never expected such an outcome, although she was not upset at all, only actions like that would make her truly deserve what the Light had in store for Samus. 

"Ah, Cupid must be celebrating somewhere," Jorgen muttered as he smiled at the scene before him.

The important fairies and magical beings knew of the two girls' arrival in their universe, as well as their general situation. Among them, Cupid had suggested that the two visitors might find the feelings they had for each other during their stay, though not many paid attention.

Jorgen was one of them, and with his experience, he had seen the way Samus had treated Ciri, so what he saw did not surprise him in any way, although he had to admit that Cupid, even without being present or knowing her, had a sixth sense for things of love that bordered on the absurd.

Ciri was surprised, a lot had happened in such a short time, and no doubt she needed to have a serious talk with Samus when they had the chance, but now her mind wasn't on that, but on returning the blonde's kiss.

Although the position they were in was somewhat awkward because of the egg resting on her lap, Ciri managed to get her hands around Samus' neck.

The silver lights around Samus were gradually absorbed by the egg, causing her to shake a little, but neither she nor Ciri paid any attention. The blonde was focused on Ciri's lips, pouring all her feelings, both romantic and those of fear, anticipation, and nervousness, into that one kiss. 

When her mind became as clear as water, she felt that she had wasted too much time and acted like an inexperienced hormonal teenager, which she was, but that's not what's important here. The soft, moist lips of her partner made any doubts about her actions disappear.

This moment will be etched in her memory forever, becoming something irreplaceable, because it was from this point on that things between her and Ciri changed fundamentally, although there was still a lot to live and experience, added to which was the fact that Samus was not yet 18 years old, and even if her soul was old, it would be best to wait for adulthood for much more serious things. 

"Stop acting like teenage fairies, look, I have something for you as a gift," Nana Boom Boom interrupted the romantic moment, causing both girls to fall apart and turn red.

"This is a Magic Muffin, it's not the unlimited version usually given to certain godchildren, but it has interesting abilities, now it's yours," Nana Boom Boom handed Samus a chocolate muffin, very different from the bright pink one in the original story.

"Eat it."
