"OOOOH, is that Papa!"
"Hi, Papa, it's me! Ty! Oh, and Arkanos. Hiiii!"Came the joyful words of the two dragon girls, who seemed to have quite a growth spurt. Although still two little loli's.
Unable to stop smiling, I ran my finger over the mirror, using traces of divinity to turn the image into a 3d model for me to see everything.
"By the Night! You two got big!"
"But of course, Papa! We've got the bestest plan!" Said Ty knowingly, while her sister nodded in recognition.
'Why are your daughters so cute?' whispered Ezra.
"Cause I adopt cute, of course! Just as well as I make 'em cute."
"Weird brag, master." Said Ezra looking at me a little strangely.
Shrugging my shoulders, I could not be bothered to care about Ezra. My baby girls were getting big, but they were still hiding something from me. Traveling with my sister for so long. I'm starting to wonder what the hell is going on. I smell a plot afoot.
"Hehe, Look at my big bubba! Trying to figure out Truck-kuns Master plan? Fool! You've only adopted the dark! I—"
"That has nothing to do with anything," Came the voice of Mithra as she appeared within the virtual image.
She had long blonde hair that waterfall over her back, starry gold eyes, and a face that could steal any man's soul. Her skin was a healthy pink that reminded me of babies, while her mouth held a single fang that made her seem like a mischievous fox.
"Whatya looking at?"
"He's taken by your beauty," The little brat of a sister sang, worming her way onto Mithra's blonde hair, with a cheeky smile. "Hiiiiii, bubba!"
"Bitch are you drooling on me!"
"But big bubba is here!"
"Don't you dare drool on me!"
Amazed by what I saw, I even glanced at Lavos, who looked like his mind was breaking.
"Soooo," I said, clearing my throat for all to hear. " Why the call? Not that I mind staring at such lovely ladies."
"Your lucky Azazel isn't here," Said Mithra with pursed lips.
"Still trying to connect to your daughter?"
The Goddess of Light nodded. "Yep, at least your wife is no longer making things difficult?"
"Really? Oh, wait. Is it because of Zariel's child?"
"Yep. Big Sis Lili has become like a daycare for everyone. OOOOOH, you should see it, bubba! All the chibis are drooling and singing. It's so cute! And they especially like Lili's baby bump. You should see them trying to bite her tummy. Literally. The cutest thing."
"And you're not there? Why?" I couldn't help but ask, watching as a guilty expression marred my sister's cute lips.
"She got banned," Mithra answered with a foxy grin. " She made the little toddlers rise against their parents…. It became known as the War of Toddlers. And I should say none of the young ones are weak. Sooo. You can imagine the chaos they caused. At one point, Mother, Luna, and I had to join in to help."
"Big bullies!" Said Truck-kun moanfully in a hushed whisper.
"I love your sister. She's so cute. Chaos incarnate" whispered Ezra. "I want one."
"Baby Jin is so cute! I want all the hugs and kisses! How could big brother push a fellow Snow member away."
"Jin?"
"Oh, you don't know. That's the name of the firstborn." Truck-kun remarked with a drooling smile." Aaah, so cute. He's a little drool monster!"
"BITCH GET OFF ME!!!!! YOUR WETTING MY HAIR!"
"Tsk."
Amused by the relationship I was seeing, I figured Ty and Arkanons would be handfuls on their return. God knows I'm going to need help with them.
"Anyway, what are you doing with this guy?"
Looking at where my finger was pointed, Mithra quickly frowned as her eyes widened. " Don't you dare touch him or his wife!"
Clearing my throat, I raised my hands. "How dare you accuse me of something nefarious! Woman, I am blessed by the Abyss! I'm—"
"The abyss is an entity of utter chaos and ruin."
"... So a woman." I teased, watching as Mithra's expression turned red.
"You sexist…'
"Well, she is a woman, right?"
"Well—Yeah."
"So how was that—"
"You know what you did!" Said Mithra angrily before she cleared her throat in her palm, calming herself before speaking in a calm timbre. " Anyway, I would like for you to leave those two alone. I've plans for these two. So long as Lavos can complete his pilgrimage."
"Oh? And do you know he possesses a Teleth Weapon?"
"Teleth? What's that."
Noticing the confusion over Mithra and Truck-kun, my eyes began to narrow. " They're the new breed of angels and fallen? Teleth appears at the death of any Fallen or Angel. You—"
"Dummy. I'm from the future. That information came from there originally. And now I guess this is how they got their name." Lily remarked, releasing a long sigh.
'I know. Shut it!' i replied.
'How do you know this" the Goddess of light asked, her gaze slowly turning hard.
"I've my sources, and I've killed one already. I'll transmit my findings to you and the Order in a bit, but this new race is a problem. Especially their weapons." Seeing no reason to keep this information to myself, I explained all I knew and made sure not to talk of Lily. The only people I would share that info with would be the Order of Chaos.
But the fact that not even Mithra knows of their existence worries me… Could they be able to hide from higher beings?
As a Monarch, I know the only way to hide from higher beings is to enter sub-space, but that's dangerous. One wrong move, and you're dead. I'll have to ask Lili; she should know.
"I'll gather the Fallen and Angels. But this should only be a Fourth Heaven problem." Mithra comforted herself, but I merely shook my head.
"It's not… I think the moment Balor anointed himself, GOD, he put particular events into motion. Events not even he was aware of." I theorized, pondering for a bit, "God restricted the throne for many reasons. This could be a consequence that will affect not just us but everyone. Angels especially… if the Teleth ate born from the corpses of Fallen and Angels. What type of power did Balor tap into, and is it only the angels that are affected, or will new races rise from the dead or the ether?"
An odd silence crept to my neck like an armed assassin, holding me in its grip, demanding tranquility.
"Arsene," said Mithra, narrowing her stary gold eyes, "how sure of this are you?"
Opening my palm, nodes of darkness congealed out of the ether and from my soul. The Golden Edge of Atonement emerged. "I needn't lie to you, Mithra, while we are not enemies. My sister has quite a good relationship with you. And the Teleth is… Well, they are a problem."
"That they are," Mithra added in a hushed tone, touching her slender chin. "Then it's good that our daughter isn't in the Fourth Heaven any longer." she gave a half smile and lifted her head as her hand twirled with the ends of her hair. " As one of the Heads of the Council, you will be rewarded if this information is true.
"Umm. Bubba did good! Mithra gives the best presents." My little sis joined in with a bright smile as she hopped down from the Goddess of Light. "I'll tell the others, and I'll send you an invite if you want to join."
"Is that all you've got to say to your bubba?"
The little loli frowned, touching her chin, as her two pigtails twitched. "Oh boy! Truck-kun almost forgot! I'll send you pictures! Oh, and Zariel wants you to teach Jin how to play the piano. So brush up on your skills."
Nodding, I smiled. "But of course. And tell Lili to kidnap Jin for me. I want to see the little brat." I said and hung up.
'I didn't know you like babies." Ezra muttered, staring at me strangely.
"Most men like cute things. You know. But most of them can't show appreciation due to how weird it comes off. Shit, back on earth, you'll be arrested just for approaching one, good intentions or not. To many, we are rapists or just bad guys. Oh well." Shaking my head, I turned to Lavos, who seemed frozen as a statue.
"Oi, Oi, you still with us? Oi!!!" Waving my hands over Lavos eyes, the hero-like man came back to himself. " Get out."
"Ah! She's gone… Y-you know The Goddess of Light."
"Yup… now get out. I—"
"Lavos! I've got groceries." A hurried voice came, following the heavy clomping of footsteps, "And I think the town is about to be attacked. A demonic beast raid is fast approaching… and it seems to be led by the one-eye Versi."
Catching sight of the slender young woman in thin plate armor and a long silver saber in her right hand, a bag of groceries in the next, I couldn't help but marvel at the pink hair and red eye combo of a woman.
Sweat dripping from her brow, she shot us a long hard look and shifted her gaze back to Lavos, who nodded. " I've got it. With this blade, I got it." He touched the Atonement sword strapped to his hip and nodded. " Take care of Mel."
Withdrawing for sight at a blinding speed, the young woman looked at us with an accusing stare. " Aren't you going to help? The town is in danger. All men are too—"
"First off, this isn't the titanic. It's not women and children first. And I'm under no obligation to help. If you like, we'll watch over Mel, and you can help out your husband or whatever he is to you."
"You'd do that!" The young knight exclaimed, tightening her grip around that blade in her hand.
"Of course. Ezra here is one of the best nurses I've met." I said with my hand over my heart, lying out the ass. "You can count on me, darling… cross my heart."
"Please go," Ezra suddenly added in a very effeminate tone." Please. A Versi is a dangerous opponent. And look, he gave us his mirror. Surely that has to mean trust of some sorts, right?" she suddenly pointed out, bringing a smile to my lips.
Grunting with a stomp, the young woman nodded. " Then I'll be counting on you!" she said and rushed away with a worried look.
Sensing no one in the house, I wrapped my arms around Ezra, and shadow stepped towards poor old Mel, resting with a blank look in her one eye.
Letting go of Ezra, I drew closer and tapped between her brow with a sliver of my divinity and Astral Essene and allowed my intent to finish the job I wished.
"AH!" Sucking in a long breath, Mel's eyes suddenly began to focus and became filled with light as she gasped for air.
Looking at her pale cheeks slowly glow with some color, I couldn't help but smile in a confusion of sorts.
Why?
Why is he with her? Those two don't appear to be soul mates like Lili and me. No, they seem different altogether. Why stay with someone that requires so much work, so much care? Judging by the state of stagnant divinity and blood, she's a virgin, so it's not the sex.
"Hello," Said Mel weakly, looking at me strangely.
"Hello."
"You can ask, you know."
"Ask what?" I replied, watching the hollow glint in her eye dull.
"Whatever it is that has you so curious."
What a dreadful perception. To know what I'm feeling despite being as weak as a mortal. My god, even her soul, appears to be deteriorating.
"Why does Lavos care for you?" I couldn't help but ask. " You have nothing… you offer nothing."
"Nothing? Of course, I offer something. When he's sad or emotional, he comes to me and rests his head over my stomach as I brush his hair. Despite knowing all his problems, and all his woes, I just listen."
Taking a seat on the bed, I stared for a long time, peering into her heart. " Go on."
"Companionship, Mr. Snow. That's all I have and all I can offer." She whispered, coughing a slew of blood into her palm.
This was fucked up…
"And this is the curse of Empaths," Lily slowly said. "She doesn't love him and doesn't even know it. You can tell because you can peer into her heart, and I'm just piggybacking off you. But all she feels is just a mirror of Lavos emotions. She's a young empath, and one of the hardest things to control is differentiating between your feelings and others."
