"-and when I got there, Deloris shook her head no to . I almost asked why! That would have been bad, nya~!!" Nya giggled.
I was curious about this Deloris, and I was about to try and waste a bit more ti.
"Do you think I can ask her why?" I asked, and both Goddesses flinched.
"Didn't you tell her?"
"Yes, Galio was inford about what happens if anyone tries to speak to them," Tallia said, and Nya turned to . She was giving a look that said, see what I an?
"I am just curious. Let go there and just try. If I fail-"
"Which you will," Tallia said, and I grinned.
"I can just get one of you to co get . Let go see this person quickly so I can confirm so things," I said and then turned to the bed where Eliza and Chili were still. "Both of you get dressed and get to the backyard. I should be back in about ten to fifteen minutes, so let everyone know."
"Should we make bets, nya?!" Nya asked Tallia.
"We can't confirm if he does or not, so it would be a pointless bet," Tallia said and then gestured for a portal to open into a white room. "I will have to shut the door, or we will get knocked out with you when Deloris speaks. Don't say that I didn't warn you. There is a reason not even I or Elfinia will try to talk to her."
"Thanks. There is an excellent chance that you are right, and I will just pass out, but if I don't, I might get so answers. That is worth the risk, considering that is what I am going outside to do after this," I said.
"Galio! Wait! You have to see who can walk better!" Eliza complained, and I grinned.
"Get dressed, and the two of you can show when I get back, you little voyeur," I teased Eliza, and she smiled at as I walked through the portal into the solid white room.
The portal closed behind , but there was only a pure white plain wall in front of .
"Oh? Well, didn't expect to see you here so soon!" A man's voice said with surprise, and I turned around with the sa emotion.
There was a glass booth with a tube beside it about as big as the golden egg I had seen. The person on the other side was... It was tough to say. The person was in a white suit but with sowhat shaggy white short hair. The part that confused was the gender. The face was pretty but also handso at the sa ti. There was nothing to make this person a man or woman.
They were just a person.
"You look just as surprised as ! But, then, you are one of my actual children, so this must be a bit strange for you, right? The Guides have you under lock and key and are making your life a bit of a pain, but this is your bed, my son," the person said.
"You are my parent? The deliver of eggs? You are the Deloris that everyone talks about, right?" I asked in confusion.
"Yes, and no. I am who they talk about, but my na is not Deloris. You can call Kaed or Father works as well, but it doesn't really matter in the grand sche of things. The point is that you are here now, on your last trial!"
"Wait! Stop puking shit up and explain what you an! How am I, your child?! Who is my mother then?! It had better not be Nemoria!" I snapped, and Kaedon grinned at .
"You sound irritable, Ophi! Do you need your ears scratched?" Kaedon teased , and I glared at him.
"Not funny. What is that about? Why do I have two nas?! And why was I a cat before this?" I asked, hoping to finally get so answers.
"That is because you are stupid, refused my advice, your brothers, and other people that cared about you! This is your punishnt for breaking the divine law just to get what you wanted. Do you know why Numoria is after you, Ophiuchus?" Kaedon asked as the glass and wall disappeared.
"Not really; other than that, I thwarted her plans nurous tis," I said as The God of Light and all things that were found under it walked over to . I was slowly getting bits and parts.
"You are one of the Thirteen Zodiacs, but you were also the sole defender of the Mortal Worlds. When you abandoned your post, Nemoria watched you. She let you have what you wanted, let you beco entwined with it, and then ripped it from you. We all told you that there was another way, but you couldn't wait five hundred lifetis. Look where that has brought you. After all this ti, Ophiuchus, you are almost there. Fate has a funny way of getting what it wants out of you, and giving how it chooses, no matter your choices," Kaedon explained, and I put my forehead into one of my hands, and my other holding my elbow.
"So, I am not human, but why so much cloak and dagger? And why don't I know the full story?" I asked.
"Did you not hear , boy? You are an idiot that always knows best, and you hardly ever listen to anything but the sound of your own voice! Think of this as you hit your head on the closed door too many tis, trying to walk through it rather than just opening it. You did this to yourself," Kaedon said and then smacked upside the head. "Quit being so fucking stupid, you hear ?"
Nothing like getting a good smack from your old man, but the slap rocked my world, just not in a painful way. The strike had just knocked loose so mories of my older brother, Leo.
