Chapter 25: Chapter 25

~Omni pov~

Seeing that everything was over, Shadow then turned around and knelt down towards Lilim who was looking at the head of her mother and father.

He then conjured some water and started to wash her hair and dry it with hot winds he also conjured, cleaning it up from the blood of the priest's hand that was smothered on top of her head.

He then patted her head and said "There you go good as new, although you could still use some cleaning it's best to wait until we finish everything."

As for her little brother, her brother was fast asleep in her arms.

"So want to talk with your parents"

Lilim who was touching the part of her head he was petting and blushing stop what she was doing and looked at him in shock, unsure of what he meant.

Shadow while looking at her who was just looking at him in shock just said "Imma take that as a yes"

He then stood up and looked at the head of her parents and as he looked down he said "Come Forth" leaving out the 'and serve' for obvious reasons.

And as he did two shadowy beings started to manifest itself. They were Lilim's mother and father.

The girl seeing her parents once again just broke down crying once more.

The shadow beings then turned their head towards shadow and with just a look asked for permission to be allowed to hug her, Shadow just nodded his head, and as he did they both went and wrapped their arms around her.

"We're both glad you're both safe" said the mother looking at her and the baby.

The father then turned towards Shadow and bowed his head "Thank you for saving her"

Lilim then while crying said "You were right father, there was someone who could cure my demon possession in the east, they came across the sea, they were the mission"

The father then turned and looked at Shadow in shock and said "Did you come from the Midgard kingdom"

Shadow just slowly nodded carefully incase he said something that would expose himself, that was until he realized that there was no one there alive, except the unconscious Petos still looking as miserable as ever.

Seeing Shadow nod the father nodded as well 'I see so we completed the mission that's good'

The father then turned to Lilim and said in a caring voice "Make sure to take care of yourself alright and grow big and strong, I just know you have alot of talent so you could do it"

Then the mother chimmed in "grow up to be happy in life and find yourself a good husband that would take good care of you" and as the mother said this she started hinting at Shadow with her head and ears.

Lilim then asked softly "You guys aren't going to stay?"

The father then sigh and said "We have already died once and we died a warriors death, a death that we could be proud of, we died protecting the people we love.

If we asked to be resurrected we feel it would be spitting on our sacrifice, we wanted our death to mean something and it does, our death meant that you and your little brother could survive another day.

And I couldn't ask for anything better"

Then the mother spoke "We already did our roles in this life, we made sure you would survive and meet him" the mother then pointed towards Shadow and as she did she spoke to him.

"Please take care of our little girl when we finally pass on, and thank you, truly thank you for letting us have a final Goodbye"

Shadow just nodded promising her that he will.

Lilim tried to refuse and make counter arguments about why they should stay but the words wouldn't come out, she realized that they wanted to move on but couldn't until they made sure she's safe.

And so she took a deep breath to calm herself down and with a big smile said "Don't worry, I could take care of myself. So you could move on and live a happy life in the afterlife, and don't worry about my little brother, I promise to take good care of him" She kept listing off the things she would do with a smile to reassure her parents

Which worked as they smiled and held each others hand

And as they held hands they turned towards Shadow and said "Please let us pass on, our time is already up"

Shadow just nodded once again and dispelled his powers letting them move on.

And as they slowly dissipated Lilim kept making them promises until they were truly gone...

Once she realized that they were truly gone, she was sad but not as sad as she was before, she had her closure, she now knows that they are together in the afterlife and it's all thanks to Shadow.

Lilim then turned and bowed down towards Shadow "Thank you, thank you for bringing me closure and letting me say my final goodbye to my parents"

Shadow nodded once again accepting her thanks and then said "Now then onto other matters, How would you like to join Shadow Garden"

Lilim then repeated the name "Sha-dow Gar-den?"

Shadow then signal to Alpha which prompted her to say "We Shadow Garden go against a Cult, the Diabolos Cult to be more precise..."

And with that she started her whole ordeal and the introductory into Shadow Garden.

And when she finished Lilim could be seen biting her lip with an enrage expression...

Even though she was glad that her parents passed on that didn't mean she would forgive the perpetrator.

When she heard everything she bowed down towards Shadow and said "Please make me powerful, I want to fight, I want to completely destroy the cult" and with that she has awaken her hunger for power.

Shadow then smiled and said "Isn't that a given, How about this, I'll let this bug alive. You would have to hunt him down in the future when you're powerful enough and get revenge on your own" while pointing his finger towards Petos.

Lilim then looked at his eyes with a power hungry look and nodded his head. "Please let me be the one to hunt him down and be his executioner"

"From now one Lilim is a name you thrown away and it's in the past, from now on you shall be name Zeta, the 6th member to have officially joined Shadow Garden"

Lilim who now goes by Zeta got in one knee and said "Thank you master"

And as she knelt down Shadow used Ruler's Authority to bring her baby brother into his arms and as he landed into his arms, he surrounded Zeta with slime until the body suit everyone wears formed on her body.

And with that Zeta has officially joined Shadow Garden.


Chapter 26: Chapter 26

~Omni pov~

Zeta has joined Shadow Garden for 1 month officially and she can be seen jumping from tree to tree very expertly.

She is currently doing a mission assigned to her by Shadow and Alpha, that is to infiltrate into the Elven capital and secure and locate a possessed.

When she got close to the capital she lands ontop of a branch to the closest tree she could manage to find and enhanced her eyes with magic. Her cat eyes narrowed zooming in, overlooking the security details of the main gate of the Elven capital.

When she saw Elven guards scanning the perimeter she knew that she only had one chance to sneak her way inside. Luckily being undetected is one of her strongest skills.

Using her magic Zeta managed to hide her presence and with great patience she managed to get inside the capital without getting caught.

Normally one would just need to pay and pass through inspection to be allowed in, but since this was the an elven city that means any other races that entered would be closely monitored, something Zeta didn't want to happen.

As apart from it being a infiltration mission it's also a testing ground for when she actually has to sneak inside other cities and towns that are owned by the Diabolos Cult. Her main mission here is to infiltrate the capital and rescue a 'possessed'.

Once inside Zeta used her cat like agility and flexibility to maneuvered herself around the buildings. As she moved building to building her cat ears would twitch and move in different directions hoping to hear anything that could be useful.

That is until she heard "Do you think we would have to burn the library, I'm afraid it has been tainted by her touch"

Zeta looked at the direction where it came from and parkoured herself all the to the closest building.

Zeta saw that she was close to a library, and infront of it was a little girl with brown hair and purple color eyes with a sleepy expression, who was tied up being pushed by two elf guards with poles just pushing her forward afraid to touch her.

Zeta seeing this just grew irritated and clicked her tongue seeing someone being treated like that. She then looked at the shadow under her and whispered "call master"

A hand soon appeared showing a thumbs up signifying that he was listening.

Once she saw the thumbs up Zeta then said "Master there is someone here but I can't save them at the moment... The guards are making it hard to do, if I save her now I would soon be surrounded making it worse"

Shadow then sent her a sound transmission using magic that said "You've done well, good job. Leave it all to me, your next training mission is to exit without being discovered."

Zeta then nodded knowing her master could see her and left.

As for the girl, as she was being poked and pushed forward, suddenly her shadow started moving and her shadow soon expanded circling her.

Seeing this all the guards moved back and jumped in fright thinking that the little girl would soon be possessed by a demon.

As for the girl she looked at the shadow underneath her in fascination.

Then someone appeared exiting the shadow like the one who left it all behind.

It was Shadow...

And as he exited he made a cutting motion with two fingers causing the bindings that were holding the little girl in place to be cut apart.

As he landed his coat fluttered in the wind

He then extended his hand towards the girl with a sleepless expression who was looking at him with undying curiosity.

"Well then little beauty let's get out of here, shall we?"

The girl quickly grabbed onto his hands and they both started to sink into the shadows but before they could fully be submerged they heard the sound of the elven guards yell out

"Hold it right there"

Shadow then turned to look at them and say "No" and just sunk fully into his shadow, completely leaving the elven capital and confusing every guard that watch such a scene.

When Shadow and the girl emerged from the shadows they appeared between the other members of the shadow garden by the entrance to the woods.

He then turned to the sleepless girl and started to heal her demon possession and once he was finished the girl just kept giving him a fanatical look mixed in with endless curiosity. She wanted to learn more to know more about him.

When he finished healing her he said "Eta, Eta is what you would be called from now on and as of today you are a member of Shadow Garden, so what do you say"

"Would I be able to learn more about you" she asked

Shadow just smiled as he said "I'll be willing to even teach you myself"

Eta with a tired expression just smiled and said "Then I would like to join"

And as soon as she said this Shadow smiled and covered her entire being in shadows, and as it dissipated Eta can be seen wearing the honorary slime suit that every member gets when they join

She started to examine it carefully and started asking questions about it, which everyone else started to answer.

Alpha then started the introduction to Shadow Garden like she already has everything memorized.

"We are beings that live in the shadows and hunt in the shadows....."

When Alpha finished explaining everything Eta's fascination towards Shadow grew even stronger. How could it not, with the powers she saw he possessed and hearing the actual history of the past.

When the introductions where over they stood where they were awaiting for Zeta. And as they waited they heard the sound of snoring and looked to the side where Eta was fast asleep leaning against a tree.

They didn't wait long as Zeta soon appeared and when she did she reached out her hands towards her little brother as Beta was currently carrying him.

And with that all 7 members have officially joined Shadow Garden making the start of their many years together.
