Baxter Lake Byrne had always prided himself on his endless amount of energy. But even he had to admit, 5 children ages 13 - 3 with two sets of multiples was a lot. And while he didn't meant to brag (he did), he was pretty certain his kids had the most energy of all.
In particular - the ones that were biologically his.
Bax had nearly met his match in Erebos and Hades, aptly named. And he was very much feeling that as he managed to wrestle the two into bed finally, barely having escaped some sparks flying at his head from early signs of magic. Falling into his own bed, his wife Hecate beside him, Bax rolled to throw an arm over her waist. “I'm thinking coal this year for Christmas.”
Hecate snorted, raising an eyebrow “you want to give them something easier to catch aflame?”
… Touche.
