Arpious of the Planes

"Well, I can take care of them if you want. I can neutralize them, in fact,"

"That would be amazing if you could, but the thing is, one of your wives is held captured… Kumo. She's been trapped with dark magic, and we've been able to retrieve her body, but her mind is still trapped,"

"Where is she?" I immediately questioned, and as Aika lightly smiled, she stood up from the table and downed her glass of wine.

"Let's go."

She was silent as we walked out of the dining room, but just as we were about to leave the large castle, we encountered our son, who had just woken up.

"Can I come with?" He requested, and of course, I graciously accepted before turning the other way towards Aika, her face disappointed and almost disgusted.

Normally, I would've defended my son, but clearly, he deserved such scorn for not being a bad ruler but a horrible husband and father.

"I can't believe I have a grandchild out there," I lightly smiled, staring off into the stars as we exited the castle and, not long after, approached a bustling street with hundreds of residents walking up and down it.

Nobody really paid attention to us, and it wasn't like we were going to reveal ourselves anyway as we flew up high into the air.

"Please stop for a moment,"

But it seems a new function within my empire had been born, which helped ease some of the air traffic within the sky of my empire.

"O-Oh, Your Highness," The man suddenly lowered his head upon seeing Hades but then his eyes widened even further upon seeing me. "Y-Your Excellency?!" He exclaimed, shifting his eyes downward to a large piece of stone right below us.

And upon closer inspection, I realized it was a massive statue of me before I had evolved, with my wings spread and in an almost glorious pose.

"P-Please proceed through. I didn't mean to interrupt you," The man said, halting the traffic flowing through the skies and then allowing us to go dash through the air at high speed.

Lots of other airborne knights tried to stop us, but we just ignored them and flew right over them, whizzing past like mighty arrows.

Eventually, we reached the very outskirts of the kingdom placed atop this mountain and found the wall which stood broadly before us.

It was about midnight, so most of the guards atop the wall were asleep despite them needing to stay awake until their shift finished, and especially with the rising tension within the empire, this was basically a death sentence.

"Oh, that's right, you haven't seen this yet," Aika muttered with a smile before bringing us to the very base of the wall, where a small door led to the inside.

Within it was a large stone mechanism using tons of elemental magic stones powering what seemed to be some magic circle.

"We have created instant teleportation though it is still in the works," She grinned from ear to ear.

We stepped inside the teleportation circle and with a familiar feeling rushing through my body, I found myself at the top of a massive palace so big that it stretched for what seemed to be half a mile.

It was massive. Too big. Absolutely gargantuan. And a familiar face greeted us upon arrival.

…

"I knew it," She smiled before rushing towards me and nearly knocking me down with her powerful hug, attempting to crush my ribs in an act of love.

"It's been a while, Kumo," I muttered, hugging her back, and we both met with a sweet and short kiss. "So, is this your place?"

"Indeed it is," She muttered, backing up and blushing with a bit of embarrassment.

And then suddenly from behind her, a woman at about 6'4, probably as tall as Aika, came from behind her and placed her arm on Kumo's head.

"It's nice to see you're back," The woman with long white hair and mystical purple eyes greeted me. Each eye had six pupils, each one differentiating in color.

"Oh, shit, L-Luna?" I stuttered, rubbing my eyes just to make sure I was seeing the right person in front of me.

"Yeah… also, let's fight," She kept her innocent smile while conjuring a massive spiky crawler leg from before that I hopped back to dodge.

My daughter suddenly created a scythe made from a crawler leg and swung at me, narrowly missing by a few hairs.

"Oh, you had me scared for a bit there… I thought you had a soul weapon," I muttered before planting my foot and reaching out toward the scythe.

SHING

Luna picked up speed with her weapon, but I still caught it flawlessly within the palm of my hand, immediately snapping it like a twig and bringing my knee up to kick this battle-hungry daughter of mine.

"This is fun," She smiled.
