In an instant, Maryam, Selene, and Love appeared inside the domain of Light, the transition fast and swift thanks to their linked rings.
The first thing that welcod them into the domain was the face of Light appearing just an inch from Maryam's own face, his sole eye unblinking.
The tension imdiately swelled between them, with Maryam smiling tauntingly, while Light wore, like a mask, his ever-serious face.
Selene, at the side, watched this scene, puzzled by the strange situation. However, before anything ca out of her mouth, she was dragged away by Elira and Yuki, each one taking an arm.
"Don't say anything," Elira said in a hushed tone, watching the scene like an unfolding drama. The Records knew how much she wished Virgo was there. At least, she never lacked a supply of sweets and soda.
"Why?" Selene asked, tilting her head. "What are you plotting once again? And where even is Noah? What does he plan to do this ti?"
"Trouble, just like always," Yuki said lazily. "You know him, don't you? By now we are used to it. However, this ti I must admit it will be very much different."
"As for what is happening with these two," Elira added, giggling, "it's just that, dear Selene, Light loves Love. But Love loves Maryam."
"Love loves too, it seems," Selene added, not thinking much about these questionable words.
Elira and Yuki snapped their heads toward her, staring at her with their jaws on the floor.
Selene's lips twitched, then she hurriedly continued her words.
"Believe , sisters, this Pink Pig would love you too if she put her eyes on you."
"Yeah, no thank you."
"Yes, sa. I don't fancy pigs, you know?"
"That's racist, Elira."
"h."
Selene sighed, changing the course of the discussion toward what her son was actually doing.
And so, while her eyes widened with the knowledge of Noah wishing to summon upon himself the very wrath of the Origin Will of the Spirit World...
...Maryam watched Light intensely, whose eye was fixed on Love, held by Maryam like an object, her legs paddling the air restlessly as if trying to find solid ground.
"My love Maryam, I enjoy this rough treatnt on my body - I truly do - but could you please reserve this for the night?" Love said, her face blushing as if she were exposing herself. "For now, I need to eat!"
Maryam's lips twitched heavily at her words. She barely stopped herself from smacking the neck of this lecherous pig.
It was true she had grown used to Love's rain of affection, but anything had a limit.
And now that she had her son back within her arms, that limit was even more shortened.
However, before she spoke, Light did it first.
"Love," Light said, prompting the attention of the Pink Pig Ruler, "I've given you enough ti to realize that this ho wrecker doesn't love you. She doesn't, and she won't. Can't you see?"
Light pointed at Maryam with one of his wings. Love followed his instructions instinctively, watching Maryam's face.
It was neutral, if not a little bit amused by what was happening. "Look at her and look at my face. Look at the difference in how each one of us looks at you. Only then will your eyes open, letting you see the bare truth."
His voice was quiet and steady. Still, anyone could sense the undercurrent of tremor beneath it. Doubtlessly, Light's love for Love was genuine.
It was sothing all knew. Even Love herself. But here lay the cruel thing about love...
"Light, sweet Light, I know you love . And I do, I promise I do. But not as lover but as soone who treated well when I needed it," Love said in her calst voice.
"However, my heart belongs to Maryam. Don't ask why, I know not. And the fact that she doesn't love yet is only because of..."
Love paused, then turned her head toward Maryam. "What's the na of my rival again?"
"Noah," Maryam said with amusent.
Love turned back to Light. "Yes! It's all because of Noah! I know my
love Maryam will love ! And damn it, where the fuck is that ho wrecker? You see, Light, Maryam is not the ho wrecker. It's Noah himself!"
She paused, then yelled once more.
"Where is Noah!?"
Love was determined to obtain Maryam's love while discarding the
love of soone ready to do anything for her.
Light looked at her listlessly, watching how she acted all lovely toward
Maryam, who only gave her a smile or two to make her shut up.
'You love soone who will never love you, leaving behind soone
who will never stop loving you.'
Light thought, his eye eting Maryam's eyes for a second. She smiled at him with her eyes - they curved devilishly like a venomous
snake.
Her voice bood inside his mind.
"This is for all those attacks you did on when I was a new Ruler.
Did I not say I wouldn't forget? I never forget, Light. And I always
strike back."
Light fell silent for a while, then answered in his usual calm and
monotonous voice.
"I guess I went too easy on you."
Maryam shrugged.
"But I won't."
Next, she turned her head toward Love, smiling at her beautifully and
innocently.
Love almost passed out from her beauty.
"I need sothing from you, sweet Love."
"Anything!" Love squealed. "Anything for you, I swear! Tell !"
Just at that mont, the Principality shook once more. Taking it as a
sign, Maryam finished her words rapidly.
"I want you to give the Broken Tower."
Love paused, registering the request, then cocked her head to the
left.
"Why?"
"To show how much you love ."
...
At the sa ti, Noah arrived high above the Dominion of Solstice, watching as parts of it were completely shattered, steam glowing up like a chimney.
Fire, water, air, and earth were slashing the air viciously, forming a
phenonon of elents enough to shred away most beings with exceeding ease.
This was, after all, the last attempt of the Four Leaders of the Basic Elental Dragons of the dragon faction. Their power was imnse, but now all that was left was this storm.
It was almost pathetic.
However, that was not Noah's current concern. His attention was
mainly focused on the man standing unbothered inside the storm of
elents.
He was quite tall, around six feet, skin white like a sheet of ice, filled with swirling tribal tattoos all over. He was bare-chested, his lower body covered by a simple red telaba that fluttered erratically because
of the storm.
The man's face was composed of nothing but eyes, unblinking and vicious-looking, that sotis acted like a mouth.
Noah watched Solstice with his arms resting on his chest. All of a sudden, shadows began to pour beneath him. However,
"No." Noah lightly shook his head. "I will take care of him alone. You
have done your job, Ester. Go rest!"
There was a sudden pause from the shadows before they slowly began to disappear, like spilled ink being cleaned away.
"Good luck then, Husband."
Noah grunted in answer, his focus only on the Soul Ruler in front of
him.
Once Ester was completely gone, Noah popped his neck left, then
right.
"Well," he said, smiling faintly, "shall we begin, Solstice?"
The Soul Ruler's answer was deep, still silence. But no, that was not
how Solstice worked.
"The battle has already begun," Solstice growled, his voice like
thousands of people speaking at the sa ti.
At his words, Noah's smile only widened.
"Oh, but of course I know."
Only then did the silent words of Solstice, hidden under layers of
reality, boom all around at the curt snapping finger of Noah. The Prince raised his head and saw a sight that put a grin on his
beautiful face.
"Fifth Zodiac - The Lion, Sin of Pride."
