While Reign and the others were wreaking havoc in the warehouse and slaughtering their enemies in a distant location many lightyears away Zeus and Miriam were traveling through the void.
It was an incredibly weird scene, the void was empty, no air was present and no sound could travel through it but the two were simply walking on the emptiness and footsteps could be heard. Ti and space were twisting around them as they moved with incredible speed, sotis ripping through the fabric of the void to make a long-distance jump.
"Z, what are your plans after our little trip?" Miriam asks as she puts candy in her mouth, even the silly display this devastatingly powerful and beautiful woman put on was enough to captivate anyone's heart.
"Well I didn't get the answers I wanted to get, but I trust you, if you say that I will get them later then I will be patient, not to ntion that the trip was not wasted as I found a talented seed." Zeus smiles weakly at Miriam, his thoughts still not completely clear, the planet was simply too weird, the little group they encountered had astonishing talents, especially the boy nad Reign, it was hard to find soone like him in the whole universe after all.
"But Miriam, tell , the boy's na, it sounded so… so familiar, I could have sworn I heard it before." Zeus stops and turns at Miriam, his face being serious now, to lose all of his mories of the planet for a couple of millennia was weird enough, but the sa thing happened with a simple na, he knew it must be connected.
"Yes, it should be familiar, not gonna tell though." Miriam shrugs her shoulders in a playful manner as she winks at Zeus. The sight makes Zeus lighten up a bit, but he still presses on, eager for at least so kind of answer.
"Mir, why do I have to wait for all the answers?" Zeus asks Miriam who was now absentmindedly looking around the void as if searching for sothing. After a couple of seconds, she gets serious and ready for battle before quickly relaxing and showing an enchanting smile.
"Well Z, you might even get so now." She turns around at Zeus who had his eyebrows furrowed, the space around them was sealed and even he couldn't find a way to quickly break the seal. To make sothing like this was no easy feat and would usually require a lot of planning and resources, but the craziest part was that for this specific seal it didn't, only the power of one person was powering it.
The void breaks like glass as a man in white slowly walks over the two with a smile. Zeus's eyes show a look of confusion before a trace of fear flashed by them, he knew this man, not personally but he knew about him, everybody knew about him.
"I see you are having a nice little holiday Mir." The man says as he stops in front of Miriam, his posture straight and relaxed while his mouth was curved up in a gentle smile as he looked at the woman.
"It has been a while, Teacher." Miriam stops mid-sentence to recollect herself, she was always nervous when talking casually with this man, he was her teacher and the person that taught her everything she knew, his power was imnse, and even though she is one of the people closest to him even she didn't know the full extent of it now.
"It has, hasn't it, I heard you were making so trouble at the old lizard's place." The man puts his hand on Miriam's head and ruffles her hair a bit, Miriam simply stands and pouts while listening to him. Zeus gulps in shock as he sees that, for soone to even try to touch Miriam's hair was considered taboo as she ever wanted to fight a high god to death after he simply touched her hair.
"They were simply being way too unreasonable and arrogant, I had to show so strength to make them realize so things." Miriam crosses her arms in frustration, she could never get angry at her teacher, she had been by his side since she was a child, a half-breed of a dragon and human that was ostracized by everyone around her. Without him, she would have probably died in so slums with no one around her.
He took her in as his first student and taught her many things, brought her to places that were above even her wildest dreams and fantasies, and never asked for anything in return. She rarely talked about him but if anyone was to badmouth her teacher in front of her they would face the highest extent of her rage.
"So strength?" The man looks at her with a knowing look. "You destroyed 5 planets, 2 of which were inhabitable by intelligent life, over 30 billion were killed." With a sigh, he takes back his hand and shakes his head. "What will I ever do with you little one?"
"Hey don't act like you're so innocent yourself!" Miriam snaps back at her teacher with a playful look on her face. "I rember when I got into trouble so millennia ago, you got so angry that you destroyed multiple civilizations and over 30 planets in re hours."
"T-that was different, I tried negotiation for a while and you know it, it was still your fault though." The man scratches the back of his head while looking away from Miriam, the event was one of the rare monts he got angry and in his rage he didn't care for anyone, simply slaughtering everything in his way until the targets of his rage were utterly destroyed.
"Anyway, I'm not here to talk about all of that, you went to that little planet, both you and the kid back there, tell , what did you think of it?" The man takes a short glance at Zeus who imdiately straightens his back and tries to hide his nervousness, his attempt was of course futile as the man simply smiled after noticing it.
"Weird, it was weird, especially after Z told about it, not to ntion the boy and the sheer amount of talents in such an underdeveloped and small planet, teacher, is it ti, is it ti for whatever you have been waiting for so long?" Miriam looks at him with worry, she couldn't help it, even if her teacher was amongst the strongest if not the strongest out there. Sothing that he had waited eons for was definitely not a simple thing.
"Perhaps Mir, I do have high hopes that it is though, that boy should be the key to everything, I will know in ti, I have as much as I would need anyway." The man smiles before gently caressing the cheek of his student, he never took in many students and she was the first, she always had a special place in his heart.
"Don't worry about it, I waited for a reason, you should know best that I never take unnecessary risks, sothing like this will be a shock to the universe perhaps, but much more is needed to endanger my life." Smiling while talking he looks in the direction of Earth, his gaze seemingly penetrating the fabric of ti and space so that he would have a clear look.
"Alright, I trust you, as always." Miriam smiles in response before asking a question. "Before you leave teach, could you tell and Z why you sealed his mory?"
"Ohh that, simple, it was not ti for anyone to know about Earth, so I had it sealed until everything started, you should probably be able to rember everything clearly in a couple of days kid, don't worry so much, you did gain a new protégé from all of this after all." The man smiles before stepping into the void again, the area vibrates a bit as he disappears, together with the seal put around them.
"Phew." Zeus breathes out and sits down on a lightning bolt that manifested itself. Taking in a deep breath he looks over at Miriam before talking.
"I rember why the na was familiar now, to think I would even forget such a detail, the legends about your teacher are definitely not true, he's much stronger compared to them." Taking deep breaths he slowly calms himself down, eting soone on top of the food chain was not a very nice experience, the pressure he faced was much higher than expected.
"I told you, my teacher is not one to be trifled with, even your Pantheon would end up destroyed if you guys fought against him." Miriam simply shrugs her shoulders as if it was obvious while Zeus nods in agreent to her statent.
"Well co on, don't just sit there like a weakling, we have to go back, co on, chop-chop." Miriam gestures for Zeus to get up impatiently, now that she knew her teacher was on the move she had to get prepared as well, a storm was coming, and it will a tough one to survive. Zeus gets up and they continue their trip, albeit much faster now as he was also in a hurry to get back.
