Hi, to fellow Simmers and Simmies

After reading through so many great stories, I decided to write one myself! YAY
I was torn between which challenge to take but I thought after playing Sims 3 for less than a year (I only bought all of the games after Pets was released so, I'm kinda new to the game), I should challenge myself. So that's why I picked the Immortal Dynasty Challenge.
Here goes nothing....

Chapter 1: New place to call home

Hi, my name is Flora Octa, whoever gave me my name should go bang at the wall. It sounds stupid =.=

I just moved to Bridgeport from places unknown. My wish is to attain immortality, and have 7 other generations reach the same status. The reason for this mission is to be left unknown~

Now off to my man hunt!

WOW, who is this hottie~

some flowers would do the trick ^.^

I know I'm too fast paced! But I couldn't resist!! And I got rejected!! Bummer, but we got married in the end.

Flora: Welcome home honey!!
Matthew: O.O

The next day, I started on my little garden, and I'm already pregnant. Thank God.
Matthew is well aware of my plan, so he thought we should hire our own home artist(for the portraits and sculptures), so he got around town and found just the right one to move in with us.

meet Olive Kipling, we quickly became best friend, and she is now painting my YA portrait. She's a nice person, wonder how she got by being the bouncer. I also happen to learn that she had a boyfriend but they broke up. T_T hope she will find her true love.

I'm on my 2nd day of pregnancy, and everyone is helping in the house so that I will have a smooth pregnancy.

It's coming!!

Oh wow, Flora is gorgeous! Good luck with her!

I personally find the Immortal Dynasty challenge to be a great way of exploring the game and finding things I didn't know about, as each generation has to SuperMax a completely different skill. So it's actually a pretty neat thing for a beginner to do!

Welcome to the forum! Matthew is a very good choice. He is rich and cute

Flora is very pretty.

thx everyone~ i'm currently studying for my exam tmr so tmr will have a new chapter

Matthew is okay rich he only brought about 20k to the family so we are currently living in a box XD

You're founder is cute! Matthew would've come with a pretty nice car if you married him on a different lot and he drove there. You would've got a bit more cash to build a house.

Anyway I wish you good luck with your new dynasty.

Good luck with the dynasty! I'd only been playing a month when I started mine, I agree with Sutz that it's a great way to learn things. The view from your lot is amazing, too.

Chapter 2: An Ocean-full of Joy

He is a boy!! Although I had a wish to give birth to a girl but his eyes are so wonderful, skin so soft. He melted my heart.
His name will be Oceania Octa.

Matthew adores him, he spent most of his hours free to play with Oceania.

After three days of work in my garden I got 2 Perfect plants, 6 more to complete my LTW. The apples are selling good also, I'm currently a lvl 7 Gardener, but life will become more challenging now. In the mist of my busy work, Oceania grew up into a toddler.
I feel horrible as a mother. I was busy with work and had no time for my little Prince.

Oceania loves to play around the house, just like his name he has a fondness towards ships.

Matthew helped Oceania most of the toddler skills. Early childhood education is important and we did all the necessary to bring up our little Oceania.

Olive, on the other hand... Well she's in a pretty sticky condition now.

Chapter 3: Time flies, so does ButterFlies

Matthew found this machine on sale the other day when he went to sell my harvest at the consignment store. I thought it would ease my gardening time but all it did was give me a spin around the garden.

Oh well, Oceania grew up into a child yesterday. We had a small party with only close friends around.

Oceania is funny in his own way, he play with the mirror when i ask him to change some clothes and hairstyle.

I notice Olive doing weird things lately. She's been going out a lot these days, and she kept looking at the mirror. She lost focus when she's working and ended sculpting something weird.

Then one night I noticed her with a man at the park in the middle of the night.

They talked, laughed, and shared a few kisses. I didn't know who he is but I bet they are dating.
Back at home, just when I was going to ask her about the man, she announce her pregnancy!

I was totally caught off guard of this. She said she doesn't want anyone else to know about this, Romeo (her boyfriend) is a triple agent. It would be bad if the news goes around town.
Romeo came visiting a few times, but always in the night. They would talk about their future and the baby all night long and Romeo will leave as soon as sun rise. Olive is well prepare for this, but sometimes she just couldn't hold her tears and cry. I hope she will feel better after the baby is born.

Until next time~

Authors note: Thanks for all the encouraging words! The dynasty is doing fine, being a 5 star celebrity is a great thing as both Matthew and Flora have very expensive cars to sell for the expansion of the house. Money doesn't pose a problem now, however I have problem getting the gardening Ops. That will be a very crucial point for Flora as she can't travel yet so its almost impossible to complete her skill challenge for the 19 plants!! Oh well.

Oceania is a cute kid. His room look very cute! I hope you get the opp soon.

Chapter 4: Birthdays and Fires!

Matthew aged up to an elder. We decided to throw a party with close friends and his crew. The party turned out great! Just when the guest was leaving, Olive went into labour!!

Olive: I think my water broke!

She gave birth to a beautiful son named Oliver Rake Kipling

The following day was my adult birthday, Olive's adult birthday and Oceania teenage birthday! We bought a new dining table, and threw a large party with all of our friends.

Oceania was first.

and FIRE!!!!

Olive and Apollo fainted (coward traits) but we manage to extinguish the flames before the fire department arrived.

Back to the birthday celebrations. The two firefighters decided to join the party, just in case for another fire.

They ate in the bathroom though, because we didn't have enough rooms.

Oliver grew up to a cute boy.

Both parents were extremely happy.

Matthew had an accident in the kitchen a few days ago.

While Oceania finds the ice block rather sticky. Just like Olive did, back in the days.

Matthew and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with a kiss and some other activities. We also bought the Smuggler's Cove as our anniversary gift for each other.

Authors note: The fire was very unexpected! I was so scared that the immortals would die! Thank God I installed the fire alarm when I was renovating the museum. The house is still undergoing renovation though. I was shocked to see that Oceania inherited Matthew big jaw instead of Flora's. But at least he got very good looking eyes. Haha. Oliver was supposed to be a girl, I stuffed Olive with watermelons (like 10) but when she gave birth, I was like . Now Oceania have to marry someone older or his Newspaper Girl best friend. His classmates are vampires other than the newspaper girl and another guy! Flora also got her fist gardening Op, it will be soon when the second one shows up! ^^ Until Next time.

Chapter 5: Growing Up and Growing Out

Oliver Rake got a new best friend, She's is named Faeries~ Well that's what he told us anyway. We had no idea about who she is though~~ maybe she's his imaginary friend.

We threw a party for Oceania's Young adult birthday. He grew up quite charming, just like Matthew~

For his birthday present, the whole family visited Champs Le Sims, France.

Matthew and I went for a little adventure for ourselves. We found lots of treasure, but little did we know that Oceania found his greatest treasure.

Chapter 6: A Thousand Years

After the wonderful trip to Champs Le Sims. We returned home. Oceania had his graduation on a Monday. The whole family attended of course.

I was very proud of Oceania, He graduated as his Class Valedictorian and was also voted Most Popular!
To celebrate this, Matthew and I gave Oceania a wonderful gift.

The Extravagator 5000 with Oceania's favourite colour.

That night Matthew called me into our room. He said to me that it's almost time for him to go. Death is near him.

He knows that I will be lonely without him, but he held my hand and said to me.
Matthew: Be strong my flower, this is important for you. Just remember that I will always love you even if its a thousand years.

Chapter 7: Under the Sea of Love

Oliver grew up into a teen, a day before Charlotte arrived. We had a small birthday party, with only his dad and mom.

Charlotte came just in time for the wedding. After a little preparation....

We have the bride and the settings.

Oceania only invited Stephanie and Elijah to the wedding. Belisama wasn't able to attend due to her being a vampire.

I'm so glad Oceania decided to get married so soon. Matthew was so looking forward to seeing his only son getting married.

What a beautiful wedding! I hope Matthew will be around for his first grandchild.

lovesims, i'm hoping that too! and because i'm too attached to Matthew, I'm playing the game bits by bits, just to know that Matthew is still alive for now~ he is now 92 years old and Charlotte is on first day pregnancy. 2 more days!! hope Matthew get to see his grandchild T_T

kent91blaze · « **Reply #18 on:** February 01, 2012, 06:47:32 AM »

Chapter 8: Speechless

The aftermath of the wedding is....

and lots of this....

It wasn't long for Charlotte to know she's pregnant. We were all happy for her, Matthew was very very excited to know the news and even pay for Charlotte 7500 simoleans spa packages! He even took out that dusty old guitar of his to play!!

The treatment was cut short though, with Charlotte returning home early.

Charlotte gave birth to Loveline and Isabelle.

Two days later, Olive and I are aging to our Elderhood. We threw a party for everyone we know!

We both aged gracefully I might say.

The twins aged up the next day. Isabelle is the one with black hair, while Loveline is the blonde one. Isn't both of them the cutest thing ever!!

They share a room on the first flow with superb view. Then it happened.... just when I was going to change Isabelle's diaper....

Author's Note: I was devastated..... much like Flora.... it came so unexpectedly. I won't post the stats this time since it didn't progress much. Flora still need a level on her job and also the last opportunity for her Ambrosia... till then pray for Flora that she will survive!!

Major apologies to everyone for the lack of updates~~ My new semester just started and I'm still adjusting to the very packed time table. The Octa are still alive~ so no worries, but i wasn't able to play them/ or any other games for almost a month now, but i promise I will be back again with the continuation~ so please hold on everyone~~ xoxo

Chapter 9: After His Death...

I'm Olive Kipling, you may remember me in my prime years when I serve as the Octa's house painter/sculptor.

Well, since I aged I'm on a semi-retired state, my son is slowly taking over my position as the house painter/sculptor.
Matthew's death was unexpected and unfortunate, Flora took it very hard, but she's still fighting on to complete the dynasty. She left the last Gardening Ops - The Omnificient Plant to complete her task, yet it seems like the opportunity will not reach her.

Days went by, with the girls as toddlers and no one else seems to be in a mood to take care of them, I became a babysitter for them, teaching them basic skills and cleaning after them.

The girls are very cute, Loveline, the older one is such a clumsy girl while Isabelle just can't stop being surprised and impressed!
Nothing change much for a few days, until one night while I was walking around the house, I heard weird sounds from Oceania's room.
I went in and what I saw was.... well I fainted, so I didn't really know. When I finally came to, I saw Flora hugging a spectre like being.
She was smiling and crying, then I realize it was Matthew. He came back.

His visit was not short though, he stayed and never left the house, but that really cheered Flora up, she definitely regain her spirit!

Soon, it was the coming of age for Oliver (my son) and the twins. Oceania threw a party and invited some of their friends and also Romeo (my boyfriend/husband).

After all the guest left, and we cleaned up everything, my phone rang~ It was a call I wished I never took.
It was from the police station. Romeo was shot to death when he was going back home. The shooter was not found and nothing could be done. Romeo was a figure that lives in the dark side of the city, it was probably one of the criminals he took in. The policemen didn't know who to contact, so they called the last number he dialed - Me.
I was asked to retrieve his belongings and body in the hospital. I was devastated.

Author's Note: Hi all~ Sorry for not updating for such a long period of time, I had lots of things going on. So, I can only bring bits and bits of Octa to you all. This capter is done differently as its not from Flora's point of view and is from a non-immortal view. The reason behind this is that I wanted to bring in a different kind of feeling, other than the immortals doing their thing and whatever, and also kinda explain the reason behind the lack of updates . Hope you all love it.
P.P.S: Any idea how to make Matthew go back to his urn in the morning? I don't mind him haunting but not all day long~ HELP

Ricalynn · « **Reply #22 on:** April 08, 2012, 01:25:28 PM »

All it takes is a quick ResetSim of Matthew and he'll go back to his grave.

Great update and welcome back!

kent91blaze · « **Reply #23 on:** April 08, 2012, 10:11:26 PM »

Thanks for the tip, it works~ After that I might just move him to a proper place of burial haha~~

Chapter 10: The First Immortal

After Matthew's death I lost most of my passion, I continued to wait and wait and waited. My life was colourless, every minute without him is ever so painful. Then something happened, he came back. He wanted me to continue my fight and quest. He ask me to held a funeral for him, and move on with my life. I cried and cried, I did what he told me and after all of that I brought his urn to the local cemetery and left it there. I promised myself I will meet him again but my tears just won't stop as I drove back. After that ordeal, I came in terms with myself and what I need to do.

Oh, how I forgotten my cute little twin girls, they have all grown up.
Loveline started to play with the toy oven while Isabelle frequent the Cove for some fishing.

And then it came, the last BlackOps - The Omnificient Plant. Good thing I stockpiled tons of the steaks for this moment.
I handed in and completed the last requirements to the Ambrosia.

And I became the first immortal of this dynasty.

Chapter 11: Back in Time I (Second Immortal)

I'm Penny Octa, the fifth heir in this dynasty.
All of you must be wondering what happened after great-great grandma Flora ate her ambrosia.
Well nothing much, other than an earthquake hit Bridgeport real hard, and destroyed most of the communication tower, leading to a few years without the internet.

Great great grandma Flora, told me after she ate ambrosia, grandma Loveline and grandaunt Isabelle grew up into teenagers, they even brought a new friend into the house, granduncle Snuggles.

There was a time of peace and harmony, until great grandma Olive sudden departure while working on a drawing that now hangs in my room. Grandpa Oliver was grief stricken. The whole family mourned for 2 days and held a simple funeral at the end in remembrance of great grandma Olive.

Life continued and it was graduation for grandma Loveline, grandaunt Isabelle and granduncle Snuggles.

On that day, Grandpa Oliver finally worked up his nerves and ask grandma Loveline out for a date. They eventually got married and gave birth to my father.

Grandaunt Isabelle and Granduncle Snuggles started their work in the music industry aiming to become a vocal legend and rock star respectively. They are dating steadily since high school, but they are still not ready to settle down yet.

Greatgrandpa aged into an elder one night and completed all the requirements. He walked to the food replicator and made himself his first ambrosia.

Chapter 12: Back in Time II (All about My Father)

My father was born shortly. The family became merrier with a kid in the house and my father was the center of that joy.

Of course the old folks still loves to hang out during the prime time to watch their favourite soap opera - Family Affairs.

Between those wonderful moments, grandaunt Isabelle propose to granduncle Snuggles.

They had a beautiful wedding party and was attended by everyone in Bridgeport. They are public figures after-all.

A few days later was my father's birthday. The party went really well until Aria Trill, a local musician and vampire dies of thirst.
Everyone went into panic mode, especially great grandma Charlotte! Look at her in the pictures!!

Grim decided to stay over for a piece of cake and an autograph from Grandma Loveline.

Father loves it when grandpa Oliver tell him bedtime stories, and great grandma Charlotte just can't get enough of those puffy cheeks!

Until next time.

Chapter 13: Back in Time III (The Biggest Birthday Party)

Time flies, and soon it was the biggest birthday party this household will ever have!
With Grandpa Oliver aging to an elder, grandma Loveline and gang to adult and father to a teen.

Father grew up to a handsome fellow and met Aimee Berrios (mother) on the first day of school.
They grew close to each other, but mother was a senior then, she was expecting graduate a few days later.

Father spend most of his nights playing chess with ranked players or looking for new stars and galaxy. He also spends time at the Chemistry table that great great grandma Flora bought for him.

The first ranked opponent was Morrigan Hemlock. Father had a really hard time beating her, it took 5 matches for father to finally beat her! Surprisingly, many of the opponents were vampires! It's way more easier to arrange a match during the nights for them. Of course, mother also came for a few rounds of ranked chess games.

Grandaunt Isabelle continue to climb her way to stardom and landed a gig in the stadium. The whole household went to the first concert and was thrilled to be seated on the front row! The songs were great and grandaunt Isabelle was awesome!

Sadly, great grandma Charlotte departed the next day. She was 94 years old. She was a well known author with great titles about French culture. Some of the popular titles include, "It's French Fries not French Flies" and "How to Love like a Frenchman"

Great grandpa Oceania went out to the outlook, where he and Great grandma Charlotte frequented for dates and sang Jet' aime for the last time.

Until Next Time.

Love Penny

Chapter 14: Back in Time IV

Father loves mother to bits, although she was a senior, father still meet with her all his teen years. He knew he would eventually marry her and that day soon came.

On father's young adult birthday, mother moved in with the Octas. She was happy she moved out from the old Berrios house. His father cheated on her mother with a vampire and became one himself. Her mother worked very hard on paying the bills, and come home to find her husband with another woman. It was tough, that almost drove mother to insanity!
Now, she is happy. She has a wonderful guy that loves her, and even propose marriage to her!

Author's Note: Somehow I can't find any pictures of their wedding in the folder, I think I either deleted them accidentally or forgot to took them. But there is one hanging in their room, anyone wants a house tour? Then we can have a look at those wedding photos.

Unfortunately, happiness was not meant to last for them. Grandpa Oliver died while working one day. Just like that, his heart stopped and he fell from the chair and didn't woke up since. Grandma Loveline was heartbroken! She wasn't even able to meet him for the last time before he passes. He was 92.

Rest in Peace Oliver Rake (Kipling) Octa, and be reunited with your father and mother.

Mother started to feel nausea and had those awful morning sickness since. She thought it was from all the grief in the house.
So she arranged a little surprise for the family.

Meet Suzette Octa! (the cat) She's is a bit of a lazy cat and loves to lie on my bed. Look! I didn't even know she was that skinny before!
And another surprise!

Grandma Loveline's birthday came shortly and was time for all of them to age up to elder!

Personnel I loved how grandaunt Isabelle looked in this picture!

Oh, did I mentioned I totally crashed the party? Mother hadn't been keeping her pregnancy dates check and so is dad.

That's it about me for now.
Grandma Loveline came home one night and she got her last promotion! With that she was qualified for her Ambrosia!

With that I'll end this part of the story.

Chapter 15: Aimee's Insane Adventures

Hi boys and girls! How's everything back home? This is Mr. Stick! He kick me on my knee just now, so I'm slapping him back!

Weldon is fine as you can see in this picture, he is riding a bicycle. We're currently in China having our honeymoon. I know its a bit late, but after conceiving Penny, we just couldn't travel much you know! She's a big girl now, so it's perfectly fine for us to go on our honeymoon. I do hope our little Penny isn't causing any problems at home, but if she is don't mind it!
Weldon did some adventures and found this humongous axe that can talk!

He tells me he wants to say hello to you! Oh such a shy guy!
After some more adventures, Weldon was finally able to buy us a vacation home.

Weldon did mention there was bugs in the house, but I thought it was just Hummy who is always flying around me.

Regardless, Weldon called in the contractors and had the house renovated! Man those people are fast!!
It took less than a day for them to renovate the whole house!

Well, that's about all I can write on this newsletter.

Love Aimee

Hi guys Weldon here, me and Mee Mee (Aimee) just came home from our honeymoon! YAY
It is still a Sunday and since both of us got our leave, I thought we should pay the in-Laws a visit, also to let them meet our little Penny~

The Berrios live quite near to us, they bought the house previously owned by Emmy Starr after she died several years back.

I wasted no time to meet Colin (he prefer me calling him that way). But since he can't really stand the heat and sun, we talked in the basement. Mee Mee showed no interest in meeting him though. After what Colin made her family gone through.

Penny's birthday roll by pretty quickly and we threw a nice little party for her.

She's such a pretty little thing just like her mother!

Flora: Get those hands dirty Aimee! If you're scared to break a nail, don't pursue the science career!
Aimee: I'm doing it, so stop whining. I thought being insane is enough qualification for the job of a mad scientist, but NOoo.
Flora: While you're at it, fish some deathfish for the house too. We're running low.
Aimee: What's that Hummy?? Ya I know! She's such a slave driver! Must be the menopausal thingy! HAHA
Flora: mumbling~

On, Penny's teen birthday, Uncle Snuggles passed away. He was 92 and he was still playing the guitar the moment he passed.

Aunt Isabelle had it the hardest, she knew that this day would come and so will hers, buts it's still heart throbbing for her.
Regardless, the party continued, and Penny is a teen now!

She is quite stressed out from everything in the house, and about the dynasty things, so she gained the neurotic trait. (It seems to me that we're only told about the dynasty after we reached teenhood, just like how I was told when I reached my teen years. I handled it quite well if I have to say so myself, compare to my daughter that is.)

She's so stressed out that she needs to freak out every so often. She did change her way of dealing things, like indulging in ice-creams.
In the end, it seems to me the best cure was talking to her imaginary friend, so I gave her a potion I made and...

I'm guessing he is related to Uncle Snuggles in someway or another, they look exactly alike other than the skin colour!
After all of those drama, great grandma Flora decided the girls needed a trip to France, so they packed their bags and left!
Mee Mee did send photos of the trip for me, and I love this one of her playing with the butterflies.

Next time guys~
Weldon

Chapter 17: Three Birthdays and One Funeral

Weldon here, after Mee Mee and co. came back from France it was almost time for her elder birthday!
Great great grandma Flora had an idea of buying a hot tub, so we called the architect and had it installed. The whole family enjoyed it.

We threw a party for Mee Mee since we didn't had the chance to celebrate her adult birthday. Aunt Isabelle even took out that old silver mic of hers and performed a few songs!

Penny had some of her classmates over to have fun, but most of the time she just enjoyed the dance.

Mee Mee still wanted to work though, she's almost getting her last promotion.

I just love how close our working places are, its so easy for us to meet up between work. That night, we headed to The Grind after work and had a great time.
Unknown to us, Aunt Isabelle passed away that night, she was 98. She can now be reunited with Uncle Snuggles. Her funeral was grand, being a vocal legend, her fans crowded the house wanting to pay their last respect. The news went crazy over it, and the whole Bridgeport mourned for two days.

The next day was better, Aimee got her last promotion and brought a new toy with her. She said it can turn normal household items to something greater. That's pretty neat, the Foosball table cheer's us up whenever we walked around it, and the couch have a weird new car smell!

The most happiest thing for me is that both of us have matching gloves!

Lucky's been acting out recently, pulling pranks and booby trapping the house. Who suffer the most? Well Penny did.

Personally, I do like that hair colour.

Thank god, their birthday was coming, we threw a small party and the two aged to young adults!

The next day was graduation, Penny was made class valedictorian and was voted "Most Promising To Write a Best-seller".

I'm so proud, it was like yesterday, my little Penny was crying and drinking from her bottle.
Now she is all grown up and ready to pursue her dreams.

Chapter 18: The Gnomes attended My Wedding

Penny here, after graduation, Lucky ask me out to the Buena Park Vista.
He was saying how he frequent here for fishing and the view was really pretty and such, then out of the sudden, he laid a kiss on me!
Oh, it was my first kiss! And he had the nerves to steal it, just like that.
On a side note, his lips is unimaginably soft and taste like orange.
What he did later surprises me even further. He knelt down on one knee and took out a sparkling diamond ring!
Lucky: Penny will you marry me?? I'll take you to a place that you couldn't have imagine!

Lucky: Penny will you marry me?? I'll take you to a place that you couldn't have imagine!

I agree of course! We had the whole week to plan the wedding, and I needed a bachlorette party. What did I do? I got one!!

Maximus gave a toast and took the liberty to invite two astonishingly hot dancer to the party. The party was awesome, we had so much fun together.

Penny: MOM!! The gnomes are going to ruin my wedding!!
Aimee: Not gonna happen deary. Napolean, Kanye, Flinstone and co. just wanted to say congratulations!
Flinstone: You heard her lady!
Kanye: YO! YO! NO sweat girl, we're gonna rock you wedding!!
Penny: NOOO!

The wedding did went on smoothly though, we exchanged rings and the crowds shower us with confetti.

It was also father's birthday, and he aged up to elder. Where was I?
Well I was a bit busy and caught up in something~

Love Penny

Chapter 19: The Fourth and the Sixth

We interrupt the program for a special slot of Kanye and Flinstone.

Kanye: Dancing in the water is such a cool thing! Just like those kids that did it in the Step Up 3 Movie!

Flinstone: Flame fruit good, gives warm in cold nights.
Kanye: Why don't you just come into the house in the nights!
Flinstone: Floor to soft, bad for sleep, me sleep on rocks.
Kanye:

That concludes our special slot, back to the dynasty household.
Penny here, as you all know my father is an elder now. He completed all his requirement and is ready to have his taste in the life-giving Ambrosia. Someday in the future, I will also have a bite of it and gain immortality.

It's still a mystery to him, why the Ambrosia had such potent power. He is working hard on developing a more conventional dosage form for the Ambrosia. If he succeeds, it will become a life saver in the medical field.
Father is still lovey-dovey with mother, that's for sure. Father cherishes each day with mother as if it were her last.

As for me, I'm pregnant. It's such a wondrous moment for me. I read from books that when you're pregnant, you get that glow. It must be really pretty. I ask great grandpa Oceania to take lots of pictures during my pregnancy, but there aren't any glow.

The BOOKS LIED!

Lucky is surprised but he still love his little nooboo.
Father had a look at my little nooboo and said that its a He! It's going to be a little boy.
Mother on the other hand, loves to talk with her grandson.

To celebrate the event, the elders went to the sports bar and danced their night away. Sadly, I'm not allowed to drink and also move at all. The child is almost due. My legs are killing me and the back pain is unimaginable! There is no such thing as a glow! It's just pain, suffering! Sometimes I get so emotional that I cried at night and the pain just made them worse!

I just hopes all of this is over soon! Oops... It's NOW!

Penny: Don't just stand there and panic! Give me an intrathecal!! The pain is unbearable! Ahhhhh!!!
Flora, Oceania, Lucky, Aimee, Weldon and Loveline: *screams frantically and strangely uniformly*

Penny: This is really painful! There isn't any glow in this! It's just pain! Ahhh!!! Where's the intrathecal!! Don't make me write 2000 page on this! Where's my intrathecal!!!

Lucky: *pretend to be not listening*
Weldon: Die you undead! En Garde!
The pain lasted a whole 3 hours and finally, Ace Octa is born!

Penny: There's the glow I've been waiting for.

Love Penny

Aimee: My, what is this? I feel so light and hollow!
Grim: You're dead lady!
Aimee: Oh, black man with big scythe. I'm Aimee Octa not Dead Lady.
Grim: No! I mean you are dead! Finish! Over! Going to a better place!
Aimee: I think you are crazy. I'm going to work not to a better place, and I don't recognize all those name you've spoken.
Grim: Ahh! Great a crazy ghost! *swoops scythe*

Rest in Peace Aimee Octa, the great scientist and the one who contribute the most to the dynasty. You will be deeply missed by the Octas and the author.
Author's note: Sorry for the short update. The FIRST thing happened after I loaded the game was this. Aimee is the third mortal that I enjoyed playing with and she died at a very young age of 88. The worse thing is that she needed a few more hundred points to get the obelisk tomb, guess she couldn't make it. RIP

Chapter 21: Childhood Memories

After mother died, my little Ace grew up into a fine looking toddler.

Lucky and I juggle between work and teaching little Ace all the skills he will need in the future.
Grandma Loveline came home one day with a wish to learn the piano, so the whole house jumped into the idea and formed a band.

It's really exciting and all, but the house is falling apart whenever they practice.
They took the liberty to spirit away Ace while I'm not looking and perform in front of the theater.
Worse still, they brought him to the bar!

And it was Ace birthday too! They said it will be fun and threw a party there.

Great~ a party animal! *thanks guys*

Ace doesn't need to know the secrets yet, so he played away most of his childhood.
My adult birthday and Lucky's birthday came, and the elders played a song for us.
It's amazing how fast they improved. They are really good and the guest enjoyed it.

Grim also came for a visit, he is reaping the cousin of grandma Eleanor Berrios (the game is replicating her in an insane amount).

Being a party animal, Ace invites his friends everyday for a party and on his birthday, no less.

Love Penny

Ace: Being a teenager is hard! Not to mention a teen in my house where I have four grandfather/mother and super famous father and mother!
Undine the Dark Vampire Gnome: Well not as hard as a sister that wants to kill you every time we meet.
Lorelei the Evil Vampire Gnome: Tell me about it.

Ace: Teen years were boring as hell, and I had to help grandma Flora with the garden and make nectars in the night! All I want is to throw a wild party and have fun all night long! Guess what I had one, my birthday.

Flora: At least you can still have birthday party! I don't even have birthdays anymore!

Ace: Sorry, grandma Flora. Well things weren't getting anymore interesting in my Young adult life stage, every day was the same thing until my mother and father reached their elder hood and mother got to taste the Ambrosia she work so hard for.

Ace: Well not so interesting until I meet her anyway.

Ace: It was love at first sight!
Isabel: It's more like you stalked under my apartment for 5 days until I showed up.
Ace: and that too.

Now will you marry me and die peacefully while I live on forever and forever?
Isabel: No way! Unless you give me a big big diamond ring!
Ace: Deal!

Titania: Seriously!! Is this my birthday post??? Why am I aging again. My teenage years was fun! I met a guy in prom and I supermaxed my athletic skill!! How can that be uneventful.

According to the books of the ancient one. There was a powerful ritual for mortals to attain godly powers that could fight against a witches power....

I didn't really understand the whole ritual of the immortals, but to save my family I had to do something. I took shelter in Grandma Angela's home until I'm a young adult, waiting for the opportunity.

Angela the Mystic: Here, drink this and you shall walk the path of the mortals and be able to complete the ritual.
Flora: Thank you Grandma Angela, without you I would have lost my way.

Flora: His powers was great and had already manifest in his early years.

Kent: Wait Flora, why the sudden seriousness?
Flora: Because the ritual is about to be complete.
Kent: I know, but don't forget about Titania too. She did aged up you know.

Flora: Well that was also Destiny's teen birthday. Anyway Destiny doesn't really look like us, but as promised he does have immense power.

Flora: All of us sat down and have our share of immortality while Destiny partake in his birthday cake. But not for long. He shall became one of us...soon.

Titania: Oh, Rashad why are you still so young and I'm so old.
Rashad: Titania, no matter how old or wrinkled you may be, you are forever young like a flower that just bloomed.

Destiny: Now that I'm a teen, I can ride the vacuum cleaner instead of that dusty old broom!
Kent: Isn't that great. It saves a lot of time too. Don't forget you can also fully utilize your power now. Just think what you want.
Destiny: I want a pizza, some fries and a bottle of coke! *poof*
Kent: That doesn't really work.

Chapter 30: The Last Immortal

The burglars are frequenting our house recently, so we decided to have the alarm outside now, and it was very effective.

Flora: Destiny's birthday roll by quickly and on that special day, the elders decided to retire from their job. Thanks to some persuasion by Penny of course.
Kent: That's one of the reason, and also I'm thinking to let you guys do what you want for the last 3 weeks, skill items are sealed away, so you guys are free to roam around and crash the house if you want to.
Flora: Oh, that would be fun.

We interrupt this chapter for some really cool pictures of gnomes.

Undine the Dark: The SUN! It's burning me alive! Ahhh!
Lorelei the Evil: Of course it burns, you're a vampire!

Lorelei the Evil: My ancient slaves, attack that Blingaboo!

Now, back to our house. Destiny has nothing to do until he ages up so he spends most of his time sleeping and napping.

Destiny:Finally! It's my elder birthday! Cheers!
Everyone: Cheers!

Did you lose the pictures between Loveline and Penny, or did it just seem to flow better as a flashback?

Thank's Ladyaya for your kind words. I did zoomed through this challenge very fast towards the end, but I started the challenge at the beginning of the year. There were periods of hiatus and ignorance, but I make it through regardless.

I did lost some of the pictures between Loveline and Penny because of changing to a new laptop, so I had to skip their story with flashback.

I said it once already and I'll say it again. Congratulations!! I'll be sending you a PM with some questions for you to send back to the challenge team. I'm also moving your story into the completed section.

Edit: On behalf of the challenge board team, Welcome to the Hall of Fame. Well deserved congratulations and lots of confetti. *confetti*

Also, on a personal note, your wedding arch from the beginning of this story has inspired me time & again in some of my own personal games. Just so you know.

Thanks Rica! I'm honored, Artie's Journey is also a great one to read and laugh when I'm bored playing with the Octa.

The Epilogues will be up soon. Stay tuned.

Epilogue Part 1

Flora: Now that the ritual has completed, it is time for Destiny and I to go back to the other side.
Kent: I had Aimee built the portal that would send you back here before she died. You can find it in the basement.
Flora: This is it, my children. We might not be able to meet anymore, but I wished all of you well.

Flora: Oceania my son, it must have been hard for you. For you to draw and sculpt your entire life.
Oceania: It was for a good cause. I love you mom and good luck.

Flora: Loveline, for you to become the immortal and witness the death of your sister Isabelle. I'm sorry.
Loveline: It has to be done. She was prepared and well aware of the situation. At least, she can rest with the love of her life.

Weldon: Nothing to worry about us, I have made a new drug that would restore all of us back to young adults and once I get Aimee back from the Science Facility, she will be able to help revive all the others.
Flora: Glad to hear that all of you can start over. Well done, Weldon.

Flora: Penny and Ace may the both of you have an even better life after all of this. Good luck.

Titania: I won! This will be the end I guess. I'm planning to finally rest in peace. I'm content with what I have accomplish and I wish to meet Rashad in the afterlife again.
Flora: You will always in my memories, Titania - Queen of Fairies.

Flora: Are you ready?
Destiny: You bet I am.

Flora and Destiny: To the Other Side!

Angela the Mystic: Isn't it about time they have arrive?
Kent: Let's wait a little while longer.

Angela the Mystic: So how are you feeling being a watcher?
Kent: It's fun and exciting to help Flora complete the process. I feel content.
Angela the Mystic: Here they are!

Flora: I'd miss you so much Grandma Angela! How long has it been? 350 years??
Angela the Mystic: The time runs differently in both worlds. It has been 35 years only here.

Flora: You must be Kent the watcher! Thanks for everything you have done!
Kent: You are welcome.

Destiny: I'd always wanted to meet you, your endless nagging is still going on in my head.

Angela the Mystic: Let us make haste Flora, We will take you to the Witch's Tower.

Epilogue Part 3

Wicked Witch of Falls: Your fairy essence works like wonders my dear! Now, mirror mirror on the floor, who's the fairest of them all?
Mirror on the Floor: You are still not the fairest of them all, Flora is the fairest of them all!
Wicked Witch of Falls: Who is she! I demand you to show me her face!

Flora: There is no need for that, Wicked Witch of the Falls! I'm Flora Octa, and you shall release my mother this instant!

Wicked Witch of the Falls: And what can you do to make me free her? *evil laughs*

Mother Fairy: Flora? Flora! Run away! You mustn't fight her.
Flora: Don't worry mother. Destiny will be her opponent.
Destiny: I will be your opponent you witch!
Wicked Witch of the Falls: We shall see about that!

Wicked Witch of the Falls: NOOO!!!

Flora: Mother! Father!

Father Fairy: So, you are like Flora's great great great great great grandson right?
Destiny: Yup, so you are like my great great great great great great grandfather?

Father Fairy and Mother Fairy: Thank you from the bottom of our heart.

Angela the Mystic: Flora, love is a very powerful bond and magic that cannot be destroyed. The ritual is the best example of how Strong love is.
Flora: I understand Grandma Flora, that's why I've decided that I want to return to my home. My other home.
Angela the Mystic: If that is your wish, you must realize that even if you went back, 10 years would have been passed.
Flora: I know, our time runs differently, but there is someone I want to meet there, and only by going back I will be able to meet him.
Angela: May you have a save journey then.
