Soraya's Gift

A/N: Soraya refuses to say goodbye to Whitebeard as she is not ready to let him go. The man she knew as her grandfather, his days were coming to an end. Everyone on the ship is full of emotions it was supposed to be a happy time due to the birth of Little Edward the final child of Marco and Valerie. Soraya still understand the concept of death is she ready to say goodbye? or will The Captain of the WBP's live once more?

The crew was quieter the last few days, as Whitebeard health started to decrease more. Marco is constantly by his father’s side along with the rest of the crew. It was harder for him to get up; he was more tired the majority of the time.  Each grandchild wanted to spend as much time as they could with Whitebeard keeping him company when he was up. Soraya watches how some of her other siblings walk in staying for a while then coming out. The only sibling she sees is Daenerys. Soraya had a hard time accepting she may not see her grandfather and didn’t know how to process it all. She sat on the top deck with her fox named mischief with her asleep by her side. She fiddled with her bow and arrow.  Amelia the shy one was looking at her older sister knowing she was taking it hard.  “Soraya i- um are you going to see pop-pop? he has been asking for you...” she said in a softer voice. 

Soraya stopped what she was doing, looking down at the bow and arrow.  The same question Daenerys asked the day before, before they bumped heads. She wasn’t ready to say goodbye to him. She didn’t want to see him in this weak state. Her grandfather was given the title the world’s strongest man; he could handle everything fading day by day. “Later…” she spoke before proceeding to her bow and arrow. 

A frown on Amelia’s face appeared. “I see….. When you're ready he will be waiting for you… I-I just don’t want you too-“Amelia was cut off by Soraya.

“I get it…okay? I heard this from Daenerys yesterday. I really don’t need to hear this from you.” Soraya’s green orbs look at her sister's honey brown eyes. “Please Amelia…”

“I’m sorry...” Amelia began to fiddle with her hands. 

“Amelia come on, let's go check on the others…” Emery walking up next to Amelia. Emery looked at Soraya not wanting to engage in a bickering match.

“Oh umm okay…” Amelia spoke as she and Emery took off. 

Inside Whitebeard's room sat next to him was Daenerys she had a forced weary smile on her lips. She remembered, the first time meeting her grandfather she fit in the palm of his hand, and she still did. “You don’t have to stay here all day with me, Nery.” His nasal oxygen mask is still on his face. 

Nery placed her hand on top of his “I want to be here with you yoi…. I’m sorry Soraya hasn’t come to see you pop-pop…” 

He let a low chuckle, Daenerys wouldn’t barge one bit. “It’s fine she will come when she is ready… Soraya is stubborn one.”

Marco was checking the heart monitor seeing the steady pace. Marco and Valerie just had little Edward a week ago, Marco was exhausted feeling guilty that he couldn’t do it all. Valerie understood the circumstances she wanted Marco to care for his father and  she could handle another baby by herself. “Dad, is there anything you want me to do?” Daenerys asked.

“why don’t you check on your mother and little Edward for me yoi?” he gave her a smile. 

She nodded “I will be back pop-pop” 

Marco and Whitebeard watched as Daenerys watched “One of the greatest gifts you have given me. The little ones Marco they made this old man feel young…Finally got it right with the last one guararara”

“You're right about that.” Marco taking a seat next to his pops. No matter how much time he prepared he couldn’t accept the fact the man that was his father figure was dying. “Marco….. I want you to know I’m proud of you… and all the accomplishments you have made in your life meeting someone who you love and she loves you back. Having a big beautiful family that brings a smile to my face and the rest of the crew.” 

“ Don’t get all soft on me pops. “ he uttered an uneasy chuckle. “You will be the one to decide what happens when I’m gone Marco the crew heavily relies on you” Whitebard spoke.

Daenerys walked towards her parents room as requested by her father. She went back to the fight she had with Soraya yesterday. Yesturday

“Why are you acting like that yaya yoi?” Daenerys spoke feeling a bit defensive with her sister's actions. “Why don’t you get off my back, little miss perfect.” Soraya furrowed her brows at the eldest sister. Emery, Amelia, Leo, Delilah and Reira were around when  the conversation  started becoming more heated.  This also caught some of the crew's attention. The girls didn’t bicker but nothing like this where they were ready to tear each other to shreds. “Excuse me? Little miss perfect?” Daenerys took a step closer to Soraya. “So you rather not see pop-pop at all yoi? You would rather be praciticing with your stupid bow and arrow.” Daenerys said with a bit of venom. “Rather be doing that than reading those stupid books your always reading.” Soraya took a step closer.

“ Do you not understand that Pops may not be here for that long and you're refusing to see him?!?!  If you really care for pops like you said you did you will go see him like we’ve all been doing instead of acting like a spoiled brat.”  Daenerys said. Marco and Valerie hearing the commotion from the deck  they saw Izou holding Soraya back and Ace holding Daenerys back. “What is going on here yoi?” Marco said in a stern voice catching the attention of both daughters. “What has gotten into the both of you?” “ She refuses to see Pop-pop yoi.” Daenerys spoke.

Soraya breaks from Izo’s grip “Just leave me alone all of you!” Soraya takes off, passing Namur and Speed Jiru. 

Valerie was holding Little Edward in her arms. She could see her Marco face as he looked more stressed out. “Soraya needs time to cool down. Just trying to talk to her will make it worse… trust me…” Daenerys wiped her eyes before they came out. Daenerys  was quiet as she walked away making her way towards Whitebeard's room. *****

Daenerys walked on seeing mother sitting in the rocking chair as the blonde haired newborn laid against her chest. She could hear the soothing lullaby her mother was singing. Valerie sees Nery at the doorway motioning to have her come in. Daenerys sat across from her mother. Few mins Valerie places Edward in his bassinet “you okay?” Valerie spoke to her quiet tone. Nery nodded “ I’m fine…” “Nery…” Valerie walked to her daughter holding her close. Daenerys hugged her mother back and she could feel herself become emotional. “Mom, I just don’t want pop-pop to leave us yet yoi….” sobbing softly “We all don’t. Your grandfather has accomplished so much in his lifetime. I know he wouldn’t want to see you like this.” “I also fear going to Mago island because Papa Rayleigh….he  is older than Pop-pop and what if he isn’t there.” Daenerys was fearing death more even though… her ability would be able to resurrect people back to life but it wouldn’t cure their health problems. Valerie did understand as she would fear the loss of her own father.  

“Nery…. I know death is scary but this is a part of life as we get older. We all cope with death differently… I know it's hard for you,your sisters and brothers. Everyone is dealing with it differently…Soraya is taking it hard…. She doesn’t know how to cope with it. This is something she has never experienced before… but you have.  You know this pain, you have been strong for so long but letting down your guard is not a sign of weakness. You're allowed to cry.”

~~~~

Soraya was sitting down on the rail of the moby dick looking at the water; she couldn’t see anything else but the blue sea. Marco letting whitebeard rest she walked onto the bright deck. Amelia was tending to her small little garden. Emery was writing in her journal. Leo, Delilah and Layla were trading snacks with one another. 

Marco caught a glimpse of Soraya seeing her coppery hair flowing in the wind. He really didn’t get a chance to speak to her and was able to speak to Izou who got a bit of information from her. Marco made towards her, Soraya could sense her father's present coming. “Hey dad..” “You're getting good at detecting energies yoi.” he let a low chuckle out. “Were you able to practice a bit?” “Not really… My aim is off today.” Soraya her head turned towards her dads then back to the sea. “It happens…. You and Daenerys talk today, yoi?”  Marco asked “No…”she let a sigh out. “ Listen Soraya, Sibling fights some more than others but you and Nery usually make up in a matter of hours….” “I’m not like her or the other when it comes to this kinda stuff… I don’t like being forced to do something I’m not ready to accept…..”

Marco lets a low sign out. Collecting his thoughts before speaking “You're like your mom when she was younger. You may not see it but your mother was exactly like you giving your grandparents a run for their money. But look how she turned out she learned how to deal with her emotions.” “And have many kids…..” Soraya looked at her dad raising her brow. “ Well you can blame her for that.” Marco not wanting to admit it at that moment he wanted many kids “but im getting at your still trying to figure it out which is fine yoi.” he patted her head. “Love you Soraya we all do.” “Don’t get sappy on me dad…… but right back at cha.” Soraya corner of her lips raised up. The night was approaching and Marco was still with Whitebeard in his room. All the kids were asleep but Soraya who was in her room looking out the window. She couldn’t sleep. She was thinking about her fathers words. Getting up from her bed, she walked out into the hallway as she made her way to Whitebeard's room. Peeking her head in, she saw her father charting down the vitals while whitebeard seemed to be resting his eyes. Marco turned around to see Soraya by the doorway. “Soraya you couldn’t sleep yoi.” MArco asked

Hearing the name Soraya's, Whitebeard's eyes opened “Hey pop-pop.” she said in a sheepish tone. “Raya, I haven’t seen you.” he gave a weak smile. She made her way towards him, taking a seat next to him. She was becoming anxious seeing her grandfather like this. “Are you feeling okay?” she asked him. “I’m fine right now, your dad won't leave me alone.” he spoke.

“Just taking care of you pops yoi.” Marco smirked. “I'm glad you came to see me.” Whitebeard opened his hand up Soraya laid her hands on his  before he softly closed his fist. “I was getting worried I wouldn’t see you.”

“Pop-pop…I’m sorry… I’m sorry I didn't see you sooner.” Soraya was filled with guilt. She was fighting her tears “I-i” “Soraya… it is okay.. You're a tough kid. You’ve always been….Just like I told your siblings you guys are what kept me going for so long.” Whitebeard said “I'm proud of you all.”

Marco could see the guard of his daughter down seeing a few tears come out of her eyes “I don’t want to say goodbye to you yet pop-pop…” she was wiping her face with her free hand. 

“You will be fine once I’m gone.. You all will be fine…., you are the one that can help the others when I’m gone. You got a kick out of me inside of you . ” “Pops..” Marco spoke

“I love you all very much.” He spoke. “We all love you too Pop-pop.” Soraya took a deep breath giving a weary smile. Few minutes past Soraya began to a humming tune she learned from her mother throughout the years. That seemed to sooth her and she knew Whitebeard loved the humming. Marco listening to the tune felt more at ease as it reminded him of his wife's melody tune. 

She had her eyes closed as she seemed to be more in tune with the humming than she didn’t realize her hand was glowing. Marco caught a glimpse as he never saw the green glowing going up her arm. He started to see what appeared to be pops veins glowing green till it covered his whole body. His white locks turned gold once again, his skin becoming more tighter. Marco spoke “Soraya yoi?” 

Soraya opened her eyes, seeing the glow on her grandfather's body and his age turning back younger. She quickly removed her hand  “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?!?” she shouted. This caused some of the crew to rush into pops room mouths dropped to see the man they called pops not looking so sickly. “Pops?” they all spoke.

Whitebeard picked up some of his locks seeing a lot of his aches and pains were gone. “What the?” 

Soraya tried to get up as soon as she tried; she blacked out Marco catching her before she fell to the floor. “Someone get Valerie in here.” Daenerys woke up seeing some of the commanders near the pops room. She took a double take, seeing whitebeard and Soraya in her fathers arms. “Pop-pop yoi? What happened?” “Soraya did this.” Marco spoke. She look at Soraya, who was still out cold. Valerie walked in stunned. Looking at Soraya then whitebeard. Walking closer she could feel the raging energy from whitebeard “your feeling okay pops?” she asked. “I feel great”

“. Something must have triggered an ability in Soraya.” Marco looking at his wife “It's like she took decades off of him…..” Valerie said she could feel the low energy in Soraya. “Let’s get  her in bed.” Marco took his daughter to her room, placing her in his bed. “She did this in a matter of seconds?” “Yeah it almost reminded me of Daenerys when her abilities awoke….” Marco spoke. He really didn’t want to rethink the reason why Daenerys' ability was awoken…

“Age rewind… I haven’t seen this done before… a piece of immortality… I have to contact my mother in the morning and see if she knows about this….” Valerie said she ran her fingers through her hair.

The following morning Soraya's eyes peered open on the edge of the foot of the bed was Daenerys . “hey how are you feeling yoi?” she asked

“Fine, my head hurts…. What are you doing in my room?” she sat up scratching her head. “I want to apologize for snapping on you… I didn’t mean anything I’ve said… I was just overwhelmed thinking about pop-pop…” she sighed. “It’s fine….. I’m sorry too.” Soraya spoke. “Your special abilities awoke last night. Pop-pop is up and moving around he looks younger. “ Daenerys spoke

Soraya cocked her brows “so it wasn’t a dream then…. Wait…” she got up quickly, still a bit weak. She made her way to the deck to see the man who was her grandfather walking around looking younger and not sickly. “Pop-pop?” “Well there is the sleeping beautiful guarara.” he walked over to Soraya. “You're not sick?” she asked him. “I feel perfectly fine, even stronger. You’ve helped me Raya.” giving her a smile.

“Soraya.” Valerie spoke, catching her daughter's attention.

“Mom?” Soraya sees her father next to her holding little Edward in his arms.

“Just like Daenerys and her special ability you happen to receive one  a form of magic that hasn’t been done before… I spoke with your grandmother and she hasn’t seen this before. We are planning on traveling to mago in the next few days. Maybe help with the black outs when using it.” She smiled

“Oh ummmmm sure…” she started to feel awkward noticing all the people looking at her . “I’m gonna…. Go into my room and hide for a while“ Soraya said with a bit of a blush expression.

Valerie was a bit over excited to see her daughter witch side coming out a bit more “my baby.” She hugged her tightly.

“Mom, stop not in public.” Soraya was getting too shy now.

“I’m just so happy and proud and emotional still.” Valerie sniffled a bit

“Dad! Mom is going to cry again!” Soraya shouted.

“Honey let her go get ready. You can hug her after yoi.” Marco gave her a mellow smile.

Valerie letting go of her daughter “I’m not going to come out if that happens again.” Soraya walked to her room proceeding into her room and she had a smile on her face.

Congrats on regaining cognition after a long headache episode! Those are baaadddd for focus 😔

What do your OCs do to wind down before sleeping

Yeah, I tried quitting caffeine cold-turkey... no. Just... no. Never again. I'll have a Less than Laudable Caffeine Habit for forever, to avoid that constant ache again.

Answer under the cut, to save space!

Eliza has the most stringent nighttime routine, and actually sleeps the best as a result. It always draws a bath (NORMALLY, not like. A certain other master who's name starts with a C) a two hours before it plans to sleep, and after that's done, it winds down in bed, always on the right side, and it journals. Never what it actually did that day, mind you - it knows better than to write down its crimes - but it's an easy last task, to write down some charming lies about it's day. It's always the last to bed.

Leigh, usually, reclines with a few pages of novel, but he's been having so many more nightmares as of late, due to the events of the Horticultural Show, and the memories it's drudged up. As of late, the only way he's been able to sleep is with the help of laudanum, usually taken with his last cup of tea for the night. He appreciates that it keeps the nightmares away, at least for that night.

Damodar should have the easiest time falling asleep, just as a side-effect of her work as a Silverer, but her anxieties get the better of her, and she turns to that work to wind down. Nothing major - mostly accounting, and the working out of what to bill her clients. Busywork is comforting for her. If things get REALLY bad, she'll pop over to her lab at the university, and sit at her desk as she settles grants and requests for certain funds - it's not uncommon to see her asleep a desk, pen still in hand, when the first research assistants enter that morning.

Wadiya has the most trouble sleeping, consistently. It's the darkness, always, that gets her - it makes every hair stand on end, no matter how long they live in this darkness. Not helpful that her most consistent lodgings are in the cellars of Old Newgate. Lighting a candle and watching it burn down is the best they can manage for winding down - it's a race against the clock, to fall asleep while it's still dark, if they want to do more than have a micronap.

Emery would say he has no ritual - he writes his dreadfuls in the waning hours until he tires, and then promptly falls into bed, but the writing process, however frantic he finds it, always gets those lasts bursts of energy of his system. If he were to stop, any semblance of a schedule would fall to ruin, as he'd start oscellating between extremely long days, then short ones. 36 hours one day, 12 the next, then another 32... it's for the best that he continue his morbid writings as his last activity before bed.

[sparingiscaring]

🎂and ☀️ for your OCs :)

Ooh!

🎂: when is their birthday?

☀️: what do they miss most about the surface?

🎂 Wadiya's birthday is April 23rd! Original W. and New Wadiya are. Entirely separate characters and I refuse to force Wadiya into sharing that day with em, so they get the Date Of Name Change as birthday!

☀️Wadiya misses a lot about the surface, but really, it's the light. No matter how much deep-lore they learn about the nature of sunlight, it's something they deeply miss. Just to go above, and enjoy the sunrise one more time.

🎂 Leigh's birthday is July 19th!

☀️ Leigh misses the food, most of all. So many more options, when you can rely on there being a greater variety of crops, and of course, none of his familiar foods survived the culinary shift. Mushrooms are an ick to him, and for that to be a new stable food source? He's paying so much for Normal Foods. Please help.

🎂 Emery counts his birthday as January 11th, though his creation was a few weeks prior. It's the same day he changed his surname, too!

☀️ Emery has memories of the surface, but has never physically been, (and never will, as he is an affront to nature!) but he does wonder how the sunlight would feel. It's an "if I'm dying anyways" type dream, to him.

🎂 Eliza's birthday is November 30th!

☀️ Eliza misses... I honestly can't say. It doesn't care about it's family, culture, it's moved beyond it's old place in society... It misses something small, innocuous. The wind. The feeling of just getting to enjoy a nice, breezy day, without having to duck and cover to make sure no wax globs get stuck in its hair.

🎂 Whism's birthday is January 26th!

☀️ Whism was actually born in the Neath, but if they could experience the surface, they would want to see all the different plant. What needs sunlight to grow, and how does it differ from the Neath? How is life different? Can They Eat The Plant?

🎂 Damodar's birthday is January 18th!

☀️ Honestly, Damodar misses her old home. It's less the building, and more the feeling- living in the quarters above the law practice, only a door away from her brother, if she ever needed him. She was taken from the house directly down to New Newgate, after his murder, but a part of her wonders, if she could have stomached to spend a night there without him.

Emery analysis everything she does include in missions or when in battle.  Under pressure, she keeps level-headedness, enjoys taunting people in battle. She can be sarcastic at times with certain people but with family, she shows a caring side. She doesn’t easily get scared by people instead she will call them out on their flaws. Emery can be a bit ruthless and brutally honest.

Fun Facts:

Emery is a rare case of having 3 DNA’s, a  witch’s body it takes them a bit longer to conceive a child at times two embryos form together becoming one embryo. Due to unforeseen events, this is how  Emery was created.

When she writes small stories she would let Daenerys read them, the inspiration for her small stories was how Remy was in love with Daenerys her but changing the names around and hearing Danerys comments about the girl being blind to the endless love the guy shows her. She does get kicked out of it.

At times she feels out of place she may look different from the rest of her siblings she is the tallest out of all her siblings.

Habit she often does when she eating and is enjoying her food she does dance a little when eating.

The only time Emery was scared was during a storm the thunder woke her up and she ran to her parent’s room she slept between Marco and Valerie she was about 4 at the time. Marco woke up to Emery curled up close next to him.
