Ophis narrowed her eyes looking at the castle. Even Scáthach became wary of it.
It may appear like a castle but in truth it was a Prison. It looked like a large, upside down, open umbrella. The prison possessed many walls and layers of gates that were linked with thousands of chains.
Looking at it for a second, Primis and Ophis started walking towards it with Scáthach following behind.
The moment they walked into its vicinity, Scáthach could feel some kind of pressure falling on her body. Though it was not enough to do much to her.
They kept on walking forward until they stood in front of a huge door.
'Scáthach: Even if I will attack the door with everything, I don't think I would even be able to put a scratch on it.'
Next, Primis extended his hand and touched the door.
SHINE!!!
The door started to shine when he put his power into it before...…
CREAK!!!!!!!!!!
It started to open.
Once it was opened, Primis and others walked inside. The entire castle was made of beautiful blue marbles. From the floor, walls, and even ceilings.
While they were walking through a long hallway, Scáthach touched the wall to her right.
'Scáthach: Amazing. Let alone the door, even the entire Castle made of a very strong material. I can even feel the huge amount of magic or divine power passing through it.'
STEP!!!
STEP!!!
STEP!!!
...
…
As they were walking deeper and deeper, only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.
Soon they reached a huge hall. The hall was also the same, covered entirely with blue marbles. There were many intersections here, leading to different different places in the castle. Primis chose one of the paths and started walking there.
After walking for a minute, another huge door appeared. It was like the same door he opened at the beginning. Putting his hand on it, Primis opened the door.
CREAK!!!!
Just like that many intersections appeared again, and they chose a way before the door appeared again. This time, Ophis was the one who opened it.
CREAK!!!!
Since Primis and Ophis powers levels were linked with each other, currently Ophis was as strong as Primis in his "God of Destruction" form.
Time went by.
They kept on walking deeper and deeper. With time the numbers of intersections started to decrease.
Once they passed walkthrough the fortieth door, there was only one path to proceed forward.
CREAK!!!!!!!!!!
CREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!
CREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
…
Ophis: This is the last door.
Primis: Yes.
This door was a lot bigger than all the doors before. It was also emitting some sort of power as if telling them to stay away.
Scáthach: This is Seventy eightieth door. Just what is behind it, My Lord.
Primis: Throne Room.
Scáthach: Throne Room. Huh.
Said Scáthach as she held Gáe Bolg(Original) tightly. Just by standing here, she could tell that the thing behind this door was very terrifying.
Primis: Scáthach. Once we are inside, stay close to me. Don't leave my side no matter what.
Scáthach: Um...…...Ok.
Hearing her response, Primis nodded before approaching the door. This time instead of using one hand, he used both.
Putting his hands on two sides of door, Primis pushed them.
CREAK!!!!
The door opened as they walked inside. Once they were inside, the door behind them closed itself.
BANG!!!
Yet, all of them ignored it as their attention was completely on front. The entire throne room was full of countless chains. All of these were connected to the throne in front.
Scáthach: H-How could t-t-this be?
For the first time, Scáthach face turned pale in fright.
In front of them was a woman chained on the throne. The woman had long and flowing blonde hair. She was clad in a gorgeous opulent dress, the inside of which was rather corset-like.
The woman head was down, and her arms stretched outward with chains bounding her tightly.
Still, let alone Primis and Ophis even Scáthach didn't feel slightest sorry looking at woman sorry figure. On the contrary, cold sweat appeared on her forehead and back.
All three of them remained standing on their spot. None of them approached the woman.
A minute later.
CRING!!!
The sound of chain moving resounded as the woman who was chained on the throne moved slightly. Scáthach tensed up slightly. As she was about to take out another Gáe Bolg(Original), Primis grabbed her hand and shook his head.
Seeing this, Scáthach lowered her hand as Primis pulled her behind.
Finally, the woman raised her head and opened her eyes. The moment she did so...…
SHINE!!!
The entire throne trembled before it got completely covered in red light. The woman glowing crimson eyes were looking at the uninvited guests as a reflection was huge red moon appeared behind her.
Then the entire castle was filled with the woman boundless bloodlust. Even Scáthach shivered slightly at that. Such bloodlust far surpassed her own warlust. The crimson hue was now being emitted from the entire castle.
Just this slight bloodlust could scare someone to death. Let alone so much.
Yet, Primis and Ophis remained indifferent to it. Their dull red and violet eyes were looking directly into the woman crimson eyes without any fear.
After some time, the bloodlust vanished. Though the woman glowing crimson eyes were still looking at them.
Still, neither of the party had any intention of initiating a conversation for now. They just kept on looking at each other.
Time went by.
After remaining silent for so long, the woman finally decided to open her mouth.
???: To think I will be visited by the very "God of Destruction" himself along with one of his wives......…It's really an honor.
Primis: ......Crimson Moon.

???: Crimson Moon. Huh...…It's really been a long time since I heard that name...Still, I would prefer you will call me as White Princess or Moon Princess.
Primis: I am not here to debate with you, Arcueid.
Arcueid: Hmm...Calling me by my first name already...…I guess if it's you and your wives then I will forgive this insolence.
[This woman is getting on my nerve. She has too much pride.]
'Primis: She also has strength to back it up.'
[Tch. I won't deny that.]
'Primis: ...1st Generation God. She stands on the same stage as Hestia.'
Arcueid: So, what can I help the "God of Destruction" with?
Primis: I am here to take you away.
Arcueid: Take me away. Huh...To think "God of Destruction" took a fancy of me...…Well, since me it's understandable...… So, when will be our marriage.
[Primis, I beg you, please punch this self-centered princess.]
Ignoring Twilight, Primis continued.
Primis: I want you to become the Will and guardian of one of my pocket worlds.
Arcueid: ...
[I see. So, that's why you want her.]
'Primis: Yes. It's truly that I am ruler of my "Pets" world but in case something happened like I am busy with something or am in slumber to recover from injuries or so on. At that time, someone must be there to make sure everything goes fine. That should have been the work of the Will of the World. However, since the world was created not that long, it will take a lot of time for its Will to manifest.'
[I see.]
Arcueid: In other words, I will come under you and handle that world in your stead.
Primis: Yes.
Arcueid: Why do you think I will agree? By doing this I will become your slave and can't go against you i.e., I will completely be at your mercy... Am I right to believe that?
Primis: Yes.
Arcueid: I see...Still the question stands. Why do you think I will agree?
Primis: ......…You have been here was so long. Aren't you bored?
Arcueid: I am...…Staying here with nothing to do and talked to, anyone would be bored.
Primis: By coming with me, you can see many new and different things as I will travel from one world to another.
Arcueid: Hmm...A tempting offer. I would have agreed just at that, but I am sure you know why I am chained here......No, to be more precise, why I chained myself here.
Exactly. No one chained Arcueid Brunestud here. In truth, she chained herself on her own accord.

Vampire, also called Bloodsucker, is the general term for those who suck the blood of other living creatures. They have power on par or higher than that of Heroic Spirits. But along with such power they also receive a terrible flaw. Vampiric Impulse.
A purely physical impulse that pushes them to suck the blood of others.
Among vampires there are unique existences, "True Ancestors".
"True Ancestors" are incarnated Nature Spirits, being classified as Elementals, said to be the original bloodsucking species independently established by the planet as its sense of touch.
Elemental royalty, they are Vampiric creatures from birth, however, unlike the other blood-sucking species, the root of their bloodlust is psychological rather than physical. Also, because they are part of nature, they can use the power of Marble Phantasm to change the world around them according to their thoughts.
They can be classified as a type of greater Fairy and their Foundation is of a Mystery that cannot be reached through Magecraft. They are rank higher than even "Divine Spirits".
Yet, even being born from nature just as any natural spirits, the True Ancestors also faced the same flaw of Vampiric Impulses. And since there is no physical reason behind those impulses there is no definite cure for them. Thus, the True Ancestors need to sleep through their childhood until they are mature enough to have self-control.
From that point on, the True Ancestors must use their own powers to keep the impulses in check. That is why, even though they have the capacity to manipulate nature at will, they never fight at 100% as most of their powers is already being used to restrain themselves.
However, because there is no end to the Vampiric Impulses, they do not disappear and instead accumulate with time. Eventually, those impulses will become too powerful to be restrained and threaten to take over. When they realize that they will become unable to control this impulse sooner or later, the True Ancestors choose eternal sleep for themselves. In a way, this is the lifespan of those who have none to begin with - an end to their long journey.
Arcueid Brunestud, the White Princess of the True Ancestors, also went through the same. But before she could take eternal sleep, she was tricked by a vampire into drinking blood and killing other True Ancestors. In the end, she was the only True Ancestor left.
Nevertheless, it was not over. Even though killing and drinking the blood of other True Ancestors calmed her Vampiric Impulses, it was only for the time being. After some time, those Vampiric Impulses returned. But because she had already tasted the blood, this time they were a lot stronger than before. So strong that Arcueid could tell that she would be taken over by them.
As a result, using her last will, she chained herself in this castle.
Millennium Castle Brunestud.
.
.
Arcueid: After chaining myself for all those years, my Vampiric Impulses have accumulated to the extreme...…If not because these chains are holding me then I would have already gone berserk by now......…Now tell me, do you really want monster like me near you who could go crazy at any time.
Primis: ...I have a way to solve your problem.
Arcueid: Oh...…
Raising one of her browns Arcueid continued.
Arcueid: What is it?
Primis: If you agree to come under me then whenever those impulses come ............…. I will let you drink my blood.
