When you said that you wanted to talk in private, I never imagined that you'd take us here," stated Lugh as he looked out of the building's window into the land of eternal twilight beyond.
"It's the only place where we can be sure that no one's eavesdropping on us," informed Morrigan.
The Celtic Sun God gave a worried frown, "there is a reason for that Morrigan, we both know that the Land of Shadows is a dangerous place. Even with the so called 'Queen' absent from her throne, I doubt ScƔthach would appreciate us using her home like this."
"Relax Lugh, I got Scathach's permission to use her home as a hideout and meeting point before I left, besides this way we'll be able to send messages to each other without needing to sneak into Shinto territory. No doubt Amaterasu is keeping a close eye on her borders after the last incident," reassured the Goddess, making Lugh raise his eyebrows.
"Morrigan you're acting as if Amaterasu is a danger, I know we made her angry over sneaking into her territory but she shouldn't hold a grudge for long, she doesn't seem the type to me," he replied.
Morrigan just gave a soft laugh, "and that's why you are terrible with women Lugh. That aside we had someā¦complications with Issei and the Shinto faction, we don't want them to find out about him."
"I see, are there anymore complications you want to tell me about?" asked Lugh, as his eyes narrowed.
"The Greeks also can't find out about him or we're going to have a serious problem, if do they find out about him then there will be bloodshed, especially if ScƔthach has anything to say about it," informed the Goddess with a sheepish expression on her face.
"By the Gods Morrigan, just what did you three do?!" sighed Lugh as he began rubbing his temples.
"We did nothing, it's just a misunderstanding," she replied.
"A misunderstanding?" scoffed Lugh, causing Morrigan to begin eyeing to ground.
"All right, a misunderstanding of astronomical proportions," admitted the Goddess.
"Morrigan, I think it's best if you start explaining yourself," stated Lugh with a frown.
"Before I do I want you to swear that you won't repeat this to anyone else without our permission," demanded Morrigan as her companion raised his eyebrows again.
"Very well, I, Lugh, the Celtic God of the Sun, swear to the Trinity Goddess, Morrigan, that I will not repeat what is said here to anyone else. Satisfied?" asked the Sun God.
"Thank you Lugh, now I'll ask that you keep your questions until the very end and try to have an open mind about this," requested Morrigan before she started explaining everything Issei told her.
As she finished Lugh's eyes narrowed as he glared at her, "let me see if I understand this right. He has the soul of my son, bonded to him with a card of all things, only this SĆ©tanta is from another world. In which the souls of the dead are brought back to fight over the 'Holy Grail,' only this one is far more powerful than the Longinus that we know."
"That's correct," nodded Morrigan.
His eye twitched slightly as he continued, "secondly, this kidā¦"
"Issei," interrupted the Goddess.
The Celtic God took a deep breath to calm his rising temper, "Issei managed to get his hands on not only one but seven of these cards, enabling him to use their abilities and weapons as if they were his own? And because of this he has already alerted several deities of his presence, which are likely to kill him on sight?"
"That is true," she replied, with another nod.
"Morrigan if this is your idea of a joke, then it is in poor taste," sighed Lugh tiredly.
"Believe me Lugh, I wish it was," informed the Goddess.
"I never took you and ScƔthach to be fools Morrigan, for you to believe this crap," he replied, shaking his head in disappointment.
"It's the truth, Lugh. Issei told us himself," argued Morrigan as she tried to convince her fellow Celt.
"And how do you know he wasn't lying?" scoffed Lugh, making his companion burst out laughing.
"Believe Lugh, I would know. Issei is the worst liar I've seen in a long while," reassured the Goddess.
"Or maybe one of the best, if he managed to fool you two," replied the Sun God.
"Lugh don't you trust me? You sent me there to investigate for a reason didn't you?" asked Morrigan, as she stared at her companion in the eyes.
Lugh just sighed as he nodded his head, "I trust you Morrigan, it's your judgement I don't trust. Are you sure that the two of you aren't only believing what you want to believe? This human could be manipulating the both of you."
"I understand your concern Lugh but trust me, this is the truth and we need your help," informed Morrigan.
"You want my help to protect him? How?" questioned Lugh curiously.
"Simply support my claim that he is a descendant of Cu Chulainn. With your backing, as well as Scathach's and myself, no one would question it," requested Morrigan, only to flinch as the room suddenly grew hot.
"You want me to adopt him? A human?" confirmed Lugh in a deadly calm voice, getting a sigh and nod from Morrigan.
"You want me to desecrate my son's name for this boy's protection! Absolutely not!" roared the Sun God as the temperature skyrocketed and his body as briefly covered with flames.
"Wait! Lugh!" cried Morrigan as the Sun God turned to walk towards the exit, ignoring her entirely.
"Please Lugh, there'sā¦something else," called the Goddess, causing Lugh to pause at the door before he turned around to face.
"What now?" he growled.
Morrigan took a deep breath as she realized this was her last chance, "according to Issei, Cu Chulainn's soul is still alive inside the card, helping him, guiding him when he needs it. If SĆ©tanta wants to help this boy, aren't we inclined to do the same?"
