[Location: The Moon] [3rd POV]
As the two slowly brought their off one anothers, Hope – with her arms still wrapped around Talia's neck – slowly looked up into Talia's eyes. "That was...amazing" She said breathlessly. Talia, upon hearing this, smiled softly at the praise.
"Well, I'm glad you liked it as much as me" Talia replied cheekily. Hope just smiled fondly at this, before she slowly began to speak once more.
"...What does this make us?" Hope asked nervously. There was only really one thing she wanted, and she was nervous about whether or not Talia truly wanted the same. After that strange feeling set in place after kissing Talia, her "inner wolf" went even more insane over the girl. She wasn't sure what the bond was in it's entirety, but she knew that it wasn't harmful to her, and didn't manipulate her emotions. The only thing it did was give her the desire to get to know Talia, and – after kissing Talia – the desire to protect the girl.
"What do you want us to be?" Talia replied with another question. She already knew what she wanted, but she wanted Hope to be the one to ask. She wanted to be absolutely certain. Now that she had this mating bond with the girl, it further cemented her desire to be with the Tribrid.
"...Girlfriends? O-only if you're okay with it of course, I understand if you aren-Mmph" Hope was cut off as Talia leaned back down and kissed the shorter girl, causing Hope to melt into Talia's embrace once gain.
Taking her lips off of Hope's, Talia looked down at the girl with a small smirk "I'd love to be Girlfriends, love". Hearing this, Hope's happily smiled, before pecking Talia on the lips yet again.
"Hmm, looks like someone wants an excuse to kiss me more" Talia said with a smirk, causing Hope to blush in embarrassment.
Talia soon put on a serious face, causing Hope to look at her in confusion "Before we make this official there are a few things you need to know" Talia said, motioning for Hope to sit next to her, causing the shorter girl to do so.
Turning to the girl sitting next to her, Talia began "There are certain things I cannot tell you, ever. It's not that I don't want to, but I quite literally cannot. Think of it as a sort of magical seal stopping me from doing so, a seal that is completely and utterly unbreakable for the current me" Hope's eyes widened at this, before slowly she digested the first bout of information, and nodded.
This was in fact true. Talia had looked into the idea of telling Hope about her being reincarnated, if only in a very loose way with some lies, but she found that she couldn't. Anything regarding the system, and her previous life, was completely and utterly impossible for her to tell others about. The most she could tell Hope, was about her multiverse travel, and a loose description on her powers. Talia realized that this was probably a good thing in the end, as otherwise, it could actually put Hope in danger.
"Everyone has their secrets. And if it's something that you cannot tell me because it could cause you harm, then I can't really be mad at you for not telling me, can I?" Hope said. The fact that Talia told her in the first place, was enough for her.
"There is another big one" Talia said, causing Hope to look at her with confusion.
"I was born...different" Talia continued, causing Hope to blink in confusion, before slowly she cracked a smile as she realized what she was talking about, and giggled openly. Talia for once in her life, looked completely confused on what was happening, and why Hope reacted that way.
"*Giggle* Did you think I didn't know? It's hard to not notice it, especially when I felt it poke against me once" Hope replied, causing Talia to blink in surprise, before she blushed slightly in embarrassment, a first for the girl.
Coughing, Talia replied "Well...sorry about that" Hope just waved her off, finally stopping her mini gigglefit she was having.
"Well, besides that, I guess I have a lot more magic that I can show off. Oh, and the whole me being a Quadbrid – kinda – but that isn't really that important" Talia said.
Hope hearing the quadbrid statement, snapped her head to Talia in shock "What?!" Talia blinked in confusion at Hope's shock, before oh-ing in realization.
"Oh yeah, I'm a quadbrid between a Wizard, Overlord, Fairy, and Kitsune. It's pretty neat" Talia answered, causing Hope to gape in both shock and confusion.
"Overlord? Fairy? Kitsune?! What even are those? And what's the difference between a wizard and witch?" Hope asked, still gobsmacked by the information bomb she was being presented.
"Overlord basically just makes me an undead with some neat bonuses, like immunity to certain things, practically infinite stamina, and some other stuff, mostly magical or death in nature. Fairy lets me control a specific element to an extent, and at some point, I'll be able to transform, growing wings which make me stronger. Kitsune is a bit more complicated than the other ones. But basically I am a sort of spiritual creature from this side, which gives me some neat bonuses, like growing tails that make me stronger, foxfire, and some other stuff" Talia explained, causing Hope to just silently process what she was hearing, only for Talia to continue.
"There's multiple types of Fairies and Kitsune. But as of right now, I am a Light Fairy, and Thunder Kitsune. I'll get more in the future due to one of the things that I cannot tell you about. And I'll get even more species in the future for the same reason" Talia continued.
Hope, after processing all of this, began to speak "So...you're a Quadbrid between four different species, all of which have different abilities and powers. You're technically undead, but also a spiritual creature. And you will get even more species in the future? Did I get that right?" Hope asked.
Talia nodded "Pretty much. Ah, and the difference between Wizard and Witch is pretty simple. Witches are more connected with nature itself, while Wizards are much more connected with magic itself, and are more dependent on themselves. Wizards also don't really have a lot of the limits a normal witch would. They both have their positives and negatives, but Wizards are probably better on average, than a Witch. Whereas on the high-end, a witch would be better, usually at least" Talia added.
Hope just sighed as she massaged her forehead at the information that was being dropped on her. The information was....mindblowing to say the least. The fact that her...girlfriend? Was so unique, was a shock to Hope, especially the fact that she was so many different species that were definitely not normal, and were probably extinct.
"There's a couple more things, but I'll reveal it when it's time" Talia finished, causing Hope to nod, trusting Talia.
"These secrets, the fact that you're a...Quadbrid, and your member, doesn't change my mind about you. I want to be with you Talia" Hope said resolutely. She wasn't backing down anymore, and she wasn't going to have her mind changed just because of some secrets that Talia quite literally has to keep.
Smiling at this, Talia softly pecked Hope on the lips. "Well then, I guess we should get back to the school, right, girlfriend?" Hope smiled at this, before nodding as she watched Talia wave her hand and clean up the area, while she made sure to keep the frame holding her and her dads painting, firmly in her hands.
Walking back through the gate, the two reappeared in their bedroom. Seeing this, Hope happily put up the painting, before the two slowly changed into sleepwear, and cuddled with one another, in Talia's bed.
[Three Days Later]
Three days had passed after the date, with a quite a lot happening during this time, particularly in regards to their relationship. The two had gotten closer during this time, with Talia showing off more of her spells to Hope, while she also tried to find out more about their mating bond. She found that the bond was pretty basic, and made it so that they felt a bit more protective of one another, could sense where eachother was, and whether or not they were in danger. Talia was sure there was more, but she would find it out in the future. She allowed the bond to stay, especially after realizing that it did not warp or change her and Hope's personality and/or emotions.
Talia had also shown off a bit of her other species to her. Mainly her fairy and Kitsune powers. Hope had esepcialyl liked her fox spirit, and the way it glowed around Talia. She also liked the beauty Talia could make with her light based fairy powers.
Besides that, Talia had also begun to work hard on finishing her classes early. She was already nearly done with Physics, and had already finished Geography, Physical Education, and introduction to supernatural species. The others were roughly half way finished, with Chemistry of Magic being the farthest from completion. She estimated that she should be done with all of them within 2 weeks to a month.
The main thing that had happened over this time, is that her goblin dungeon had finally been re-unlocked today. She ended up going into the dungeon, only to realize that the goblins looked the same, but were slightly bigger, and more muscular. The biggest difference, was their intelligence. As these goblins were crafty, and had much stronger senses than the other ones. These ones could actually properly fight back, and even strategize to an extent, not that it did much for them.
The dungeon quest was the real problem though.
[Dungeon Quest]
Kill 10,000 Goblins - 10 levels, All tier 10 spells
Kill the 5 goblin minibosses spread through the upper forest - 15 levels
Kill the two bosses of the upper forest - 15 levels, 1 random item, All tier 11 spells
Within her first exploration of the upper area, she ended up bombing the living shit out of the forest, allowing her to kill a little over a thousand within the first exploration. But, the goblins also stopped traveling in groups, and were much smarter, making it harder for her to kill more of them. She also got some levels as a result of this, but the levels were limited due to the goblins not rewarding much xp.

|======================================|
It was safe to say that the leveling process had slowled, drastically at that. Talia wasn't very surprised about that though.
Currently, Talia was sitting at an assembly alongside her girlfriend, Hope. Hope had asked to keep the relationship a secret for a little while, as she didn't want to see the other students looking at Talia in the same way she was looked at, and she also didn't want to deal with the reactions from her own family, if they found out.
"Given recent events, some students have expressed concern that I am not allowing you to have a say in the decisions that affect your future" Alaric said while glancing at his daughters, before continuing "And I agree. If you are expected to abide by this schools policies, it's only fair that you have a voice in how those rules are made" Alaric finished.
Josie and Lizzie high fived one another, out of sight, upon hearing this, while Hope listened in, interested in where this was going. While Alaric began to continue his speech "So, I am forming an honor council. One vampire, one witch, and one werewolf, each elected by their peers" Students muttered after hearing this, while Talia just listened boredly, causing Hope to crack a smile at her girlfriends bored face.
"Along with our student counselor Emma, whose vote will represent the younger students. Now, I have to go off-campus. In the meantime, I expect you to make good decisions and to vote wisely. That's all. You're dismissed"
Getting up, she glanced at Hope, before sighing "Why do I have a feeling I'm going to somehow win on the witch side?"
Hope giggled slightly at this "You know you just jinxed yourself right?"
"Oh...damnit"
