Feeling my intense stare, the pale goddess emerald eyes sparkled into life as they opened up towards me. Watching them widen in surprise, her body shook as a familiar Darkness permeated her body in a misty air.
"Nyx, I found him!" The strange woman voiced, her tone sweet like nectar as she stared.
Letting out a gentle air, this strange woman arose with a vibrant smile. Watching her ashen hair flow over her back, she slowly drew closer. With a curious gleam, her gaze traced over my body, trying to look for something.
"Do we know each other?" I asked, feeling a little awkward. Shaking her head, the pale goddess suddenly bowed.
"Forgive my rudeness; I am Melinoë, Daughter of Hades, King of the Underworld." She quickly said, with a hint of anticipation, "Father and Nyx, goddess of Night, has commanded that I look for the recent child of Tenebrae."
Scrunching my brow Melinoë raised her head, staring deep into my soul with soul captivating eyes. Shaking off the uncomfortable feeling within my heart, I released a fake smile.
"I am sorry I think there is a misunderstanding." I said, backing away, "I have never met this so call Hades, much less someone by the name of Nyx."
Touching her chin Melinoë tilted her head, "Strange... but I know I am right. Am I hallucinating again? hmmm,"
"Again?" I questioned. That is definitely a big red flag.
Shaking my head, I turned to Eluf, merely smiling with anticipation, "Abaddon, it would seem like-"
"No, his name is Are..."
Covering Melinoë's mouth, I glared at the woman, whispering into her ear using the darkness as a way for only us to hear, "Shut it... We will speak in private. I have enemies, and if you are my ally, we are both dead. Even if you are a god."
Pushing my palm away, the Pale Goddess snorted, wiping her mouth, "Hmph, whatever. We will speak tonight. Nyx wishes a word with you."
Watching as a mist of darkness began to cover her, my eyes open wide in shock as she...teleported using the darkness. Gasping aloud, my heart began to quake at the thought of teleportation using the darkness.
"Abaddon?" Eluf called out as the warrior to his side smirked.
"What? have you fallen for her?" He asked in a condescending tone.
Arching my lips, I could not help but chuckle, "If her father is who I think it is. I don't think that is a good idea. It would be like having the Goddess of Helheim upon my neck.
"Surely you jest," Eluf said.
"Nope, Ar... I mean, Abaddon is not at all wrong. Hades is quite protective of his kin, although he has killed a few over the years for going against his will."
Narrowing my gaze, I stared at the little loli upon the ancient tree. Looking at the emerald child twirling her small feet through the air, everyone around me fell to their knees. Yet to my surprise, none of them spoke, only shaking in their boots.
"Leave us. I wish to speak to 'Abaddon,' the Little loli announced, leaping off the massive tree.
Gliding towards me like a leaf, my lips curled up as I caught her small body, "You remind me of Truck-Kun. You two would not happen to be related." I asked, watching as she smirked.
"Truck-kun? You are related to her? That explains a lot," The strange child said as I saw her emerald brow twitch in shock. "I have heard of a few monsters in my time. Are you one of her soldiers? Out of all I have met, all of them are monsters who ascended or died due to unfair chances."
With a profound light flickering through my eyes, I placed the small child down, watching as she skipped around me as every one of the villagers quickly left without a word.
"So, Arsene, have you figured out who I am?" She asked in a childlike tone licking her lips as her emerald hair that hung over the floor began to flow with the cool breeze.
She knew my name and my fake name, yet she has not killed me. She is not with the Court of Nox and this natural a... The Tree. She was upon the World Tree.
"Yggdrasil?"
"Ding Ding Ding," She yelled with childlike innocent as she walked back towards the world tree.
"This is merely a lesser root, yet it allows me to see everything physically," Yggdrasil uttered with a deep smile as she took a seat by the base of her root.
Moving closer, I sat in the lotus position in front of her staring as she looked up into the air, "Noctem of Destruction, how Baphomet acquired such an Arte from Tenebrae is beyond me. Tell me, Arsene, what do you think of that Arte?"
"I-I cannot explain it, Mo... Tenebrae spoke to me, saying it was not her darkness but rather mine. It's odd, don't you think? If my very soul was altered by her darkness, how could it be mine?" I asked as Yggdrasil smiled.
"Could be a gift, or maybe you comprehended something that severed her will form it. There are many theories, but one thing is certain that Arte and those flames are destroying my realm." Yggdrasil coldly said, losing her innocence. "My deal with Lilith and Ezra was for my realms not to be destroyed, and you, Arsene, are walking upon a path of death."
"Oh, is this a warning?" I uttered, smiling as Yggdrasil stared at me with a mocking gleam. "Do you think the Court of Nox will abide by the rules you lay down? I am actually surprised they have not already destroyed your realm."
"Ignorance truly is bliss." She curtly said, "Arsene, I am a member of the Court of Nox. "
Opening my mouth wide, Yggdrasil sneered, "Why do you think I allowed them to appear within my land? Why do you think an army of soldiers was randomly there. Did you not think it was all strange?"
"I did, but why?" I coldly asked, a little confused. "Why not kill me?"
Shaking her head Yggdrasil sneered towards the heavens, "Because I have no interest. The Court of Nox has many divisions, and the path they are currently on me, along with a few others, are against. We refuse to take part, so we help every now and then, but there is a give and take out of this."
"So you let Lilith operate here, but in return, you give the Nox my position every now and again to keep the peace."
"You can say it like that. While I do not need the Court of Nox, the current protector is on his last leg, and a new War is on its way. I have already spoken with the former Celestrial King, and we have decided upon you to be our champion."
Releasing a deep laugh, I spat, "The Court of Nox will die, and as for anything else, why should I care? Me a champion? Yggdrasil. I am a demon. I could migrate to the hells or go to the Abyss. Why the hell should I care about anything."
With a smile that didn't reach her eyes, Yggdrasil giggled. "Because Arsene, you live for Chaos and War, you are a Devil. It's in your nature. No matter what you do, I will bet my life that you will join."
Growing silent, I suddenly exploded in laughter, "It would seem you and Yura's Grandfather have already comprehended my psyche, but what do you think will happen when I get all this power? Do you think I will be grateful to you or him?"
"Who knows, but is there not always a risk in raising the new generation? I have had hundreds of disciples turn their backs on me. Adding you in would not change anything."
"So your gambling, how disdainful. So am I your disciple now or -"
"Do not flatter yourself." Yggdrasil mocked, pursing her lips with contempt. "You are simply our first choice. You are not a part of the demon hierarchy, and from the looks of it, Asmo doesn't want you in his hells."
Tracing my lips with my tongue, I could not help but laugh, "You and Yura's grandfather truly seem to have everything at hand, but all of you fail to understand something."
"Oh, and what's that?" She asked as her small stature began to fade.
"Whoever said I needed to fight alongside you all? From how it looks, I have a bigger incentive to side with your enemy." I uttered as her eyes grew wide. Rising up, I stretched my arms, watching as her gaze began to freeze.
"First choice, am I? I think it would be best to find a new toy and one that doesn't hold the power of the Nines at his fingertips. It will only end badly, Ygg," I coldly said as she vanished from my sight.
Placing my palms behind my back, I smirked, "It doesn't matter who I face, Ygg. Just remember, if you wish to play this game, be sure you play it right."
Shaking my head, I peered up towards the ancient tree that was merely a root,
"Can we talk now, Arsene?" A voice suddenly called out from behind.
Sighing, I turned around, staring at the Pale Goddess, her enchanting figure glimmering with effervescent brilliance. "Sure... What can I do for you, Melinoë."
Looking up towards the heavens, Melinoë frowned, "Nyx wishes to speak with you, but that will have to wait till your control over Darkness grows."
Scrunching my brow, I smirked, "I can control Darkness at my will. Whatever I imagine, I can create. What higher level of control could I accomplish?"
"Can you control the withering aspect of darkness? Its connection to space and time? Or perhaps its ability to connect to the Shadow Realm?" Melinoë snapped, glaring at me with annoyance, "I would not be here if not for Father or Nyx. Not to mention little Ty said hello. She was released a few months ago."
Gasping aloud, I felt rather confused as Melinoë continued, "You have a connection to Tenebrae that Nyx has taken an interest in. Not many have been chosen by Tenebrae, making you along with a selected few special.
"Melinoë, why are you here?" I coldly asked, knowing someone like Nyx or hades could have contacted me directly or used Ty. "Why you?"
Shooting me a profound look, Melinoë eyes suddenly twisted into a crimson shade. Watching as dark clouds of fog consumed her eyes, I shivered, watching as it faded, her eyes returning to its emerald color, "Sorry, what did you just ask?"
No-no-no-no-no!!!! I am not getting involved with another crazy. Lilith is already enough. No!! No matter how sexy she is, no.
"I sometimes lose consciousness falling into my divinity," Melinoë whispered, blushing as she looked away.
Don't ask, Arsene, don't ask...Damn it. Fuck you, Arsene.
"And what is your divinity?" I bitterly asked. Somehow hating myself for even asking what I didn't want to know.
"Ummm, Madness," Melinoë muttered as her face turned crimson. "I tend to...Sometimes go wild for a few days or years, depending on how bad it is. Most of the time, I just hallucinate. "
"No-no-no-no-no. "I exclaimed, taking my leave in a hurry. Yet such a dream was not for me as Melinoë gripped my arm.
"Stop, I was sent to train you in your darkness. Nyx said you seriously needed it, and I have all the tools to help. She even gathered some of her children to train you."
With tears in my eyes, I shook my head, "NO!!!! I already have too many crazy women by my side! Another is too much."
"Well, get over it. I am not happy either. I simply wanted to travel the omniverse, but Father and Nyx wanted me to help you. Do you know how humiliating it is to help a mortal? I am a Chthonic God, yet I have to assist you while you train."
"Fuck... Even when I'm on vacation, I am working. Damn it. "I yelled towards the heavens. "AAHHHHH!!!!"
Snorting, Melinoë released my arm, nodding in agreement, "I understand, but I don't want Father to kill me again. He has quite a temper. So if I'm fucked I'm taking you down with me."
Staring at the chilling eyes of Melinoë, an amusing smile hung upon my lips, "hmmm, fine, try not to get me in trouble. I already have enough drama with the women around me."
"Like that girl you came with?" She asked, eying me with a scrutinizing eye.
"Girl? Oh, you are talking about Sigurda. Worry not about that thing. Its time is coming." I coldly said.
Rolling her eyes, Melinoë pursed her lips, "Why would I worry about a mortal? I am only here to train you and leave. After a few years, I will be free."
"Than you are as nieve as your father then." I arrogantly declared, raising my head as my fingers passed through my hair, "Man or woman, none can resist the sweetness. It's only a matter of time before you succumb to my charm."
"Oh really?" Melinoë sweetly said, drawing in closer to my surprise, her seductive breath pressing against my chest, "And what would you say if I said I was asexual?"
Blinking, I could see a mischievous gleam within Melinoë eyes as I laughed, "Truly nieve young goddess, but before my sexy body all shall be conformed."
SNorting, Melinoë backed away, pointing at my crotch, " There is nothing sweet about that thing." She victoriously said, walking away as I looked down at the dragon ready for battle.
Chuckling to myself, I stared at the fading figure of Melinoë. "Looks like my party is growing in size."
Watching her hips sway back and forth, I turned to the large root of Yggdrasil, "I heard Soloman informed the Archangels. Good luck, trying to keep your lands from being destroyed."
Feeling all of Midgard quake, my laughter echoed out as I left with a cruel smile upon my lips.
Yggdrasil is not an enemy, but she is definitely not Arsene's ally. The same can be said about a lot of people, including Ezra. Do not forget she is a devil as well.
