Scáthach just frowned as she watched this, "in a manner of speaking, yes. Your friend had been dead too long for her normal methods to work, so instead she's changing your friend's pre-determined reincarnation pattern and returning her soul to the World of the Living, essentially letting her 'skip the que' so to speak."
Morrigan then carried the body over to the silver branch doorway before placing Asia's body inside the portal, causing Issei to fall to the ground from the power now pressing down on him. Scáthach seemed unaffected as she drew a rune into the ground and instantly Issei felt the pressure around him vanish as he got back to his feet.
"The Goddess of Death has made her declaration, your time has yet to come Asia Argento. I offer you a catalyst, now return to the flesh which you born with, in the name of The Morrigan, The Phantom Queen of the Celts, I command you," finished Morrigan as she withdrew Asia's body from the portal.
The two of them just watched as the silver branch doorway receded back into the earth and Morrigan placed Asia's body gently on the ground before collapsing. Issei rushed over to the two of them and tears of joy appeared on his face as he saw Asia's body breathing softly, her wounds seemingly vanished. Realizing that she was ok, he walked over to the collapsed Morrigan and saw Scáthach picking her up from the ground before slinging the Goddess across her shoulders.
"Come on we should get back, after that display Morrigan will be wanted back by her fellow Celts…and we have some things that we need to discuss before then," ordered the witch as Issei nodded and picked up Asia.
"Morrigan are you sure you're okay?" asked Issei in concern.
"I'm fine Issei, just a little tired. Manipulating souls is very exhausting, even for someone like myself," replied the Goddess.
"Man just how powerful are Devils if there Evil Pieces can do things like that by themselves," murmured the teen.
Scáthach just shook her head, "Issei I told you, there is a difference between resurrecting someone and reincarnating them."
Morrigan nodded, "those infernal artifacts can only revive someone if there soul has yet to embark on the Path of Death. Something to be eternally grateful for."
"How is Asia?" asked the teen, thinking back to the nun now resting in his room.
The Goddess just gave him a tired smile, "don't worry Issei she'll be fine. She's a surprisingly strong soul, give it a day and she'll be back to normal."
"I see, so what is it you two wanted to talk to me about?" replied the teen.
The two Celts just glanced at each other before Scáthach stepped forward, "Issei we don't have much time so please we need to know, how are you connected to Cu Chulainn? Is he still alive? Where did you get your Gae Bolg?"
"Is this why you sought me out?" asked the teen.
The two Celts nodded, "remember what I told you about that Rune necklace? You didn't think we wouldn't notice Gae Bolg's use? Just be grateful that it was Morrigan that was sent to investigate."
Issei frowned as he debated his options, he could just lie or say that he didn't know, it would definitely be the safer option. 'But after what they've done for me, it just doesn't feel right to lie to them like that…Oi Ddraig what should I do?' he asked the dragon.
[Partner, we can't make your decisions for you. This choice you're facing is something you cannot just pass off to others. Just know that whatever decision you make, we'll support you 100%.]
A smile spread across his face, 'thanks Ddraig, you know one of these days I'll have to ask you about these others you keep mentioning.' Ddraig just laughed softly in amusement at Issei's reply before the dragon answered.
[Partner, I think you already know who they are.]
'I have my suspicions,' he replied with a smirk. 'Still I would like to meet them at some point, I'm going to have some mean words with Lancer after this.'
[Trust me partner at the rate you're going, you'll see them very soon.]
Seeing that the two Celts were still staring at him Issei took a deep breath as he came to a decision, a smirk grew on his face as he channeled a bit of Zelretch. "It's quite simple really, Cu Chulainn and the rest of the souls in these cards come from another world," he stated in amusement.
His good mood lasted a grand total of three seconds before he felt hostile atmosphere fill the room as the two Celts were surrounded by demonic black auras. "You're such a funny boy aren't you Issei? I thought I taught you to stop making those kind of jokes during our sparring session," growled Scáthach.
Suddenly Gae Bolg appeared in the witch's hand as she gave Issei a chilling smile, "it looks like you need a reminder of that lesson."
[Partner it's been nice knowing you.]
Issei groaned in pain as he got up from his couch and went to go check on Asia, who was still resting in his room. Feeling his body still aching from numerous bruises that dotted his body, 'did those two have to be so violent? It was just a joke.'
Still at least he managed to calm them down before they damaged anything more permanently, though not from a lack of trying. Once they'd calmed down the teen explained what he knew about the Class Cards, Heroic Spirits and even the Holy Grail War. In fact, the only thing he left out was Zelretch, simply saying that the cards were given to him by an old friend who'd passed away.
The two Celts seemed skeptical at first but after a grilling interrogation by them, which Issei could actually answer thanks to Ddraig and the others, they seemed to believe it. To say that the Holy Grail Wars outraged Morrigan and Scáthach was the understatement of the century, the two Celts calling it an abomination of a ritual.
Issei could understand why, if they hated Devil's for using Evil Pieces then summoning Heroes Spirits from beyond the grave as familiars was like a slap to the face for them. Even more so since they found out about Cu Chulainn's master in his last war, he almost felt sorry for the man as both Scáthach and Morrigan began discussing ways to get there and kill him personally.
"Yep definitely not telling them about Zelretch and Kaleidoscope," decided Issei as he began walking over to the stairs when he spotted a familiar purple haired girl sitting outside and staring up at the moon.
"Hey Scáthach, you're up late," greeted Issei softly as he approached the witch.
Scáthach turned to face him as a sad smile spread across her face, "just thinking about what you said, its hard to believe that there's another world…another me…I wonder if she got her wish?"
"Oh…" stated the teen, unhelpfully before he walked over to her and sat down beside the witch.
"Technically there's an infinite number of worlds, not just one. But remember that while there may be many Scathach's there is only one of you, that hasn't changed. I find that it's better if you think of it that way, no sense pondering on how things might have been different," replied the teen as he placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I see…" murmured the witch, softly and plunging the two into silence.
Looking around Issei noticed the lack of a certain Goddess, "where's Morrigan? You two are rarely apart from each other."
"She's getting ready to go back to the Otherworld, after her display here Dagda will want to speak to her," informed Scáthach, making a worried expression appear on his face.
