Elsewhere a certain Goddess got the inexplicable desire to kill the Sun God.
"Don't think you can talk your way out of this one Lugh," frowned his friend.
"Like I said, I'm not trying to talk my way out of anything," responded Lugh with a shit-eating grin on his face.
"I see, then this has nothing to do with the supposedly second Gae Bolg that Morrigan found?" questioned Dagda, causing Lugh to freeze momentarily.
"What makes you say that?" asked the Sun God.
"I just find it odd that Morrigan decided to go on 'vacation' immediately after it was discovered, and that she would neglect to tell us where this second Gae Bolg is," answered Dagda, his gaze still firmly fixed on Lugh.
The Sun God just shrugged, "what can we say? Morrigan does what she wants. Why do you think she'd tell me anything? You know that Morrigan and I don't often see eye to eye on things."
A frown spread across Dagda's face as he responded, "exactly you DON'T often see eye to eye, and so what makes this different Lugh? Why are you two working together, and with Scáthach of all people?"
"I told you we're not up to anything," sighed Lugh, beginning to sound like a broken record.
"There is only one common factor that is shared between the three of you and that's Cu Chulainn. No don't deny it Lugh, I'm not the only one who has made this connection," reasoned Dagda, causing the Sun God to look down at his empty mug.
"Lugh, what were you and Morrigan thinking?! You of all people should know how dangerous Scáthach is. Whether we like it or not, Scáthach is considered one of us by the outsiders, we don't need her causing an incident," growled Dagda angrily, while Lugh just said nothing in response.
"We don't have the luxury to be making enemies of the other Pantheons, let alone to be fighting amongst ourselves," he continued, drawing a groan from Lugh.
"This again? Dagda, the Fomorians are dead and gone. You're jumping at shadows that have long past," said the Sun God with a shake of his head.
Dagda just shook his head as he stood up from the table, "out of respect for you Lugh, I will let you and Morrigan play your little games. But understand this Lugh, if your little scheme gets out of hand…I swear that as leader of the Celts, I will personally put an end to it."
Lugh just watched as the Celtic God of Life headed towards the exit, only to pause at the door as he left, "oh and one more thing, I checked your vault and was surprised to find Gae Bolg missing. I wonder, why would the great Lugh ever part with his son's treasured spear? "
Now alone Lugh glanced up at the door as it shut before grabbing another drink and sighing, "I'm getting too old for this crap."
"Looks like he's coming around," commented a female voice.
"About time, he's been out for two whole hours," replied a different voice.
"What happened?" groaned Issei, struggling to sit up.
"Easy there, Issei. Your wounds aren't completely healed yet," warned Scáthach as she pushed him back down to the bed.
"Scáthach, Morrigan, what happened? Where am I?" he asked, weakly.
"That's what we want to know Issei. How did you manage to overlord the Rune necklace? The Boundary Field it generates should have been able to mask and contain more power than you could amass," questioned Scáthach as she pointed at the cracked necklace hanging around his neck.
"Oh so that's what it did. Why did you give it to me anyway?" replied the teen, curiously.
Morrigan just sighed, "Issei if other factions find out about those cards they will kill you, especially the Greeks."
The teen's face paled when he heard this, "what?! But why?"
"You're using artifacts of their champions without their permission, some of which have been lost for centuries. They will see that in two ways, as an insult or they will see you as a thief and hunt you down because of it," explained Morrigan.
Upon seeing the teen's horrified expression Scáthach smiled, "don't worry Issei it's still functioning, if only barely. As long as you don't draw the attention of people who are uniquely connected to the artifact you should be fine."
Much to the worry of the two Celts, Issei's expression just grew more concerned, "umm…Morrigan…quick question…does the Shinto Pantheon exist?"
The Goddess of Death slowly nodded with a frown, "indeed, we've had to hide our presence from them since we came to this country. Why?"
