Monarch Of Darkness, Arsene

With the passing of a week, Lilith and I had begun gathering some of the rather base necessities as Gods, which in a way had me feeling like a mortal once more.

The lack of healing most gods experience was rather annoying. Healing pills had become an irreplaceable item, alongside Circle Scroll, that allowed just about anyone to cast spells instantly. While weak in nature, using a particular spell at a moment's notice was insane for most people. Nevertheless, Lilith and I were more focused on gathering Healing Pill, or as they called them, Blood Gems, due to the almost bloody glow they held.

Blood Gems were not really rare but rather expensive, which wasn't a problem since Lilith still had some spare change from our wedding. Picking up a few hundred just in case, we were set to leave the sect.

Following behind Kerr'ii, who was appointed to me, to make sure I would leave the Holy Swords in a week. We arrived at a large port that did not meet with the water but rather the far reaches of space. Surrounding by the starry expanse, I gazed upon over ten warships that all seemed to be resting with a golden bubble wrapped them where they were docked.

The ships looked no different from those that sailed over the sea. They appeared crafted with an unknown type of wood that smelt once again like amber. The ships themselves were towering like mountains, carrying a noble grace not even I could miss.

"You are to set off in port Seven," said Kerr'ii pointing towards the port that held a large number over its base.

Leaning on me, Lilith pulled at my arm. Dragging me towards the ship, four sets of eager eyes sparkled like stars. Somewhat taller, Arkanos charged like a raging bull crashing into my chest as Ty leaped on my face like a monkey smothering me with her death grip.

"PAPA!!!!" They cried, granting me all the hugs and kisses.

"Hey! No fair! What about me?!" Cried Lilith, stomping her feet in a bit of jealousy.

"Yu Jing said if they come back injured, she will castrate you," Kurt said sharply, carrying a little gloom beneath the eyes.

Scrunching my brow, I snuggled my head out of Ty's beastly grip and frowned, " They? She does realize they are my family, right?"

"I am only delivering a message." He replied, turning around, removing himself from the ship's deck with unfeely eyes.

I shot Lilith a glance, and she shrugged. Knowing it was not my problem, I sighed. While Kurt wasn't necessary, as a whole, he was a potential candidate in the prophecy. It would be a shame if I had to kill him. I guess I could turn him into a slave.

Standing on the deck of the ship, the echoes of harsh boots pressing against the wooden deck filled with the bittersweet scent of amber, I saw a somewhat young man, carrying a bit of arrogance in-between his brow.

He was a bit handsome. There was no doubt about that, as a charming air hid the arrogance from those without a particular eye.

"Sir Kerr'ii," Said Arken, a heavenly god, new God, with a charming smile. "Will you be joining us? I hear we have two prisoners on our ship this time around," he remarked, shooting Lilith and me a suspicious stare, allowing his eye to linger over my woman longer than necessary. "are these them? They don't look like prisoners."

Kerr'ii rolled his eyes, "Stop with your games. Toy with them on your own time. They are not prisoners, just on punishment. I assume your mission is in the same destination, correct?" he said, trying to confirm our destination.

"My mission is confidential, but I will be stopping just outside the Lesser Galaxy of Gallreum, northwest of the Western Supercluster. A team of ten will accompany Asura and Amilia Bloodgrave. The planet of their goal is called Solrem." He recited without missing a beat. "Time before we arrive seven months from our location."

"Good." Said Kerr'ii sharply.

I chuckled as Little Ty weaved her way around my head to sit upon my shoulders. Resting her chin upon my head, I could all but feel a bit of conquest in her eyes as she stared out at the starry expanse teeming in wonder. The same with Arkanos, who, like her big sis, was staring out on Lilith's shoulder.

"You will not be able to control them soon, "Lilith warned with a soul whisper. "They are Dragons carrying domineering bloodlines. They will soon begin marking their territory."

"I know. But it makes me wonder. Where is Melinoë? I saw her a few times, but not once in the Holy Swords."

Lilith smiled. "I sent her back home. She has a rather special mission if Hades fails to meet my expectations. We can't have a crazy woman like that with you. Your cock will feel the urge to plant your seed in her."

A little suspicious over Lilith's secrecy, I held my tongue, at least for now. I was sure she had a few things to tell me. After all, we never went over what happened during the wedding. How did she, by chance, meet with Gauis Winterblack, and why was he in the Pale Gate?

"Are you two listening?" Kerr'ii suddenly said, raising his voice a few octaves higher.

"Huh? Not really. What did you say?" I innocently asked with a sweet smile. Enjoying the trembling cheeks of this Fox. Kerr'ii opened his mouth, taking a deep breath to speak. I interrupted. "Where is that lovely wife or girlfriend of yours? I did promise you know. A man must uphold his end of the deal. I plow her, and you watch. Just don't stare at me too hard during, ok? I get a little self-conscious."

Turning yellow as a toad, laughter rang from my lips as I hastily waved my arms at the frightful expression brewing on Kerr'ii. "I kid. I kid. Maybe. Although please do warn your woman. Let her know Asura Bloodgrave is coming... Get it? Cumming?"

Slapping on top of my head, Lilith sighed, "Ignore my husband. He is a fool. I was listening." Siad Lilith calmly. Shooting me a death star, I know I would come to love a little later. She smiled and continued, "The Western Supercluster, where we are right now, presides over one of the most industrialized districts. It is also a zone that holds the most slavery, being one of the most significant sources of income. Although I don't understand why you are telling us this?"

Arken frowned at turned to Kerr'ii, somewhat perplexed. "Did we not go over the basics of our sect with them?"

Kerr'ii carrying a brutal expression, glared at me, "We are a righteous sect. Hence the name Holy! If you see any slaves, you are obligated to free them!" he forcefully claimed, as my eyes grew wide.

"What?!"
