Last time, Selene and Eos found their father and reunited him with their mother. Some truths were told.
So from what I read, the guardians of the other weapons are the Goddess of the Apocalypse? I asked. Yes, those women were the original inhabitants of the seven continents right along with the Dragon King and the true inhabitants of the land. Shiro replied. Who are the original inhabitants of Avaritia? Ally asked. The Goddess race and the Vampires are one the few inhabitants of the Underworld who came to the surface. Shiro replied. Before they started mingling with humans. Jacinta replied. You should know better than anyone what that creates Megumi. Shiro replied. Don't remind me. Megumi replied. You are a descendant of a Goddess of Time, Yumeko. That's a blessing. Araceli replied. No it's not. Tempus Magic users are cursed with immortality. Eternally young. Megumi replied. Mom do you mean? I asked. Everyone of my lineage is immortal. We stop aging at some point. Megumi replied. Don't tell me. Mom, did you commit that taboo on my dad to deter your loneliness? I asked. Megumi turned around and ignored Kaoru. So you finally admitted it to your abandonment issues? Tempus asked. Lady Aria, it's been a long time. Mika replied. Hello Mika, I told you once before, you will be reunited with your family. Tempus replied. I know. I'm sorry for not believing you. Mika replied. I understand your wariness, I chose the appearance of an adolescent. Tempus replied. That man is still a pedo in my book. Megumi replied. He may be a creep to you. He's still my prisoner. Tempus replied. Prisoner and pedo? I thought. Tempus chuckles. Don't say too much. Megumi replied. I wouldn't. I'm not a fan of time shifts. Tempus replied. I can agree with that. Megumi replied. From what I read, the goddess watched as all this played out. A goddess of time, a god of judgment. A few other gods just watched as this played out. I replied. Kaoru, we are not allowed to interfere with the affairs of humans. Around this time patronages weren't fully implemented at that point. Tempus replied. At that time, the only ones who had access to that privilege were priests and priestesses. Sometimes the noble class. A patronage to a god is a divine blessing. Jacinta replied. That can also back fire if you overuse your powers for periods of time. Hence why Issac and the Ithacaian Priests and Priestess' are in the state of immortality. The only way to turn back is to gain favor in their patron god's eyes. Eos replied. Issac's case is different. He willingly gave it up in exchange to help them escape. She saw what he did and was blessed with a temporary limb. Tempus replied. I'm never getting my arm back. Shiro replied. That's not true. She gave you that phantom limb because your true arm was so damaged it almost fell off from that holy ray that reduced your arm to bones. Tempus replied. So my arm is being restored? Yes but it will be given to you when time is right, Issac. Tempus replied. That's good news. Jacinta replied. Shiro cries. Dad. Rina and Yumi replied. Shiro. Leilani mumbled. Grandpa is crying. Mika and Noelle replied. I know. Leilani replied. Issac has had a hard life. His existence is a contradiction. Blessed with the holy artifact of an imperial treasure. Also using demonic magic as well. Tempus replied. Tempus, stop calling me Issac. Shiro replied. That's your true name. I named you Issac for a reason. Issac means laughter. When you were a baby you always smiled and giggled. One of the maids said, "Name your youngest son, Issac. It means laughter". So I named you Issac, your father approved but he hated that you were laughing at him specifically at him. Jacinta replied. Ok that internally brought me joy that I insulted his pride as a man with laughter. Shiro replied. Is he internally happy? Chris asked. Yeah. Unfortunately his grandchildren are present so he can't drink it. So he eyeballs the bottle at a distance. Selene replied. He is. Ally and I thought. Leilani shakes her head. I understand. That bottle would cost the rent in a high rise, Dad. Ally replied. Our dad has that type of money. He usually buys a dozen and lets them age. Yumi replied. Chris is dumbfounded. I splurge every once in a while. I'm technically a cheapskate to be honest. Shiro replied. He's not lying, sweetie. The man put me on to the grocery store we go to. Leilani replied. I'd rather have you use alternatives than spend unnecessary money. Shiro replied. The distance may be a little further but it's worth it. Thank you. Chris replied. Hence why, I said Josh and the girls can stay here for vacation. Shiro replied. When our dad is adamant about something he won't let it go. Rina replied. Isn't that the truth? Yumi replied. Hey. Shiro replied. The kids pull Shiro to the other couch to sit by him on both sides. Shiro sighs and smiles. He pets their heads. The kids smile. Back to the subject at hand. Do we meet up with the Goddess of the Apocalypse or do we go to them? I asked. No need. I summoned them. Tempus replied. A group of
three young women appear out a portal. It's an honor to meet you, Lady Aria. Laocadia replied.
So, whose descendants are you three? Araceli asked.
On the right is Zehari Samael, Jasper's Descendant . She uses Superbia Magic. The young lady in the middle is Laocadia Veguaniel, Agate's Descendant. She uses Ira Magic. The young lady on the left is Ashling Bariel, Jancinth's Descendant. She uses Acedia Magic. Tempus replied. Ashling looks down nervous. Ashling, with all due respect, you need to get over your social anxiety. Laocadia replied. Shut up. Ashling replied. Now Laocadia and Ashling. Zehari replied. If you are key players in this, why does history paint you as the monster? I asked. If the twelve maidens expose the truth. Let's just say people will lose their faith and start questioning things. Ashling replied. That "religion" keeps people subservient and dumb to outside problems. Laocadia replied. You already learned Kaoru. Shiro replied. My profession of translating is maddening at times. Having to conceal the pain and suffering written in their blood or anything. Ithaca is one of those. A thriving metropolis that was attacked because they didn't want to convert to their "religion". There may be more civilizations that endured this at their hands. I replied. It sickens me as well, Kaoru. Selene replied. Grammy. Ally replied. Is that why you aren't religious, Selene? Jacob asked. You can say that. They sought your great great grandmother out. Selene replied. Araceli hugs Selene. I told those people if I come with them, leave my children alone. Araceli replied. They lied. Hunted those two to the point they had to change their identities and flee their homeland. Mika replied. Eos cries. Mika hugs her. Even though out of the madness, our little mad scientist found love. Even our shy daughter found love and created families. Araceli replied. A family that deeply cares about you. Mika replied. Eos wipes her tears. If you three are here. The others are hiding out on the island right? Selene asked. Yes Lady Selene. Laocadia replied. Good, they are after your imperial treasure Laocadia. The sword of Barachiel. Selene replied. Wait, the sword of Barachiel? I asked. So it ends up in your hands even better. Araceli replied. Callum and Hakuren's children are in danger as well. Tempus replied. How so? Ally asked. Their true imperial treasures they hide are keys as well. Tempus replied. True? I asked. So you figured it out, Tempus. Megumi replied. I recruited them for their raw powers but also protection. Callum and Hakuren asked in exchange to protect them from that religion. Megumi replied. Get down all of you! Shiro yelled. Everyone gets down. Megumi opened two portals. Rumiko and Tomoe flung through them injured. The assailants came through the portal to attack. If you know what's good for you. Go back to where you came from. Tempus replied. Who do you think you are? Where are you? Yumeko, will you do me the honors? Tempus asked. Megumi walks towards the assailants. She unsheathed her sword. Tempus Method: Second Art: Metatron's Cube. Megumi replied. She sheathed her sword. Her eyes turned blue as she looks at the assailants. Then sheathed her sword.The assailants fell to the ground in fear. They all became calm. Megumi heals Rumiko and Tomoe. What did you do to them? Tomoe asked. They think look as if they are in a dream. Instead they are in an ever ending universe loop of their fears as their reality. Only I or a god can release them. After all, I'm a target too. I possess the blessing, Metatron. Megumi replied. Wait what! Everyone yelled.
