Liv, Robyn, Aki, Jo, Jas, Bella, and even Lilly originally lanted their Formless {Fates}. Despite having such amazing abilities, they all thought their {Fates} were shit.
I was the only exception.
I didn't care that my {Fate} was Formless. All I knew was that it was mine. And that I didn't want to live a failed life for the second ti.
It was only when I showed the Sirens how powerful their {fates} were that they began to change.
'There are no shit {fates}. Only shit reapers.'
With my example, they believed. And then they grew rapidly. Even {Listen}, a seemingly harmless {Fate}, beca overpowered when it gained {Announce}. Jo continued to study how to weaponize {Listen}, and it was now one of our most versatile skills.
Lilly was the sa. It was only when I praised her that she expanded her use of it. She said as much when we took a bath together.
It was during our honeymoon when I admired her naked body. Lilly confessed that truth to , seemingly out of the blue.
"Dearest?"
"Yes?"
"Please stop, you'll get soap in your mouth."
"But I love the way you taste, Lilly. I love everything about you. You drive crazy," I replied as I licked her armpits.
"Mou! Why did I fall for such a degenerate?" She pouted adorably, but kept her arms raised in an erotic pose.
"Too late for that now. You should have run away when you had the chance. Even if you hide in the void, you can no longer escape ."
"Hmph! Your use of {Store} is still severely lacking! Even Robyn can use it better than you now!"
Finding her cute, I sucked on her neck while lathering the opening of her otter pocket with soap. "That's fine. I have you after all, just teach with your body afterwards."
"Sigh, as always Dearest, you leave all the tedious tasks to ."
"Hahaha, do you dislike it?"
"How could I, Dearest? For soone like you, delegating tasks is against your nature. I know you only do it to those who have your complete trust."
"Being read like a book makes grateful again that you are mine, Lilly."
"Not as grateful as I am to own a piece of your heart, dearest. Did I ever tell you the first ti I fell in love with you?" She said as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Was it when I broke your sword? Or when I blackmailed you for watching porn? You were panting like a pervert then."
Her arms then tightened and began to crush my neck.
I could feel my flesh begin to bruise from my lover's dominating show of force. But as Lilly's limbs threatened to suffocate , she asked lovingly with a smile.
"Hmm? When was that, darling? I don't rember? That never happened. Right?"
I struggled under her clutches as I replied wryly. "Y-Yes, dear. I-I must have r-rembered wrong."
Her grip loosened imdiately. My barbaric princess then gave a deep kiss. Her eyes gazed lovingly at as we separated, She then shared her mories.
"It was when you told {Store} was amazing, dear. Unconsciously, I despised my {fate} for giving a miserable life. And when I saw that you sincerely wanted {Store}, your praise made feel whole. It was only when I accepted my {fate} that I was able to grow."
Since leaving the White Guard, Lilly has been our ace in the hole. An absolute powerhouse in combat, her skill and wit were unparalleled.
{Portal}, which was our first level 5 {Fate}, beca the linchpin of our tactics. If Lilly hadn't ascended to level 5, half of what Hellsend had accomplished wouldn't have been possible.
If we continue like this, Lilly will also be the first to beco a Specter. She was currently ahead of us at level 6, while the rest of us were still at level 5. But I wasn't worried. From what Robyn had told , the girls knew what awaited us.
And they were working as hard as they could to not be left behind.
It seed that the problems of raising an army with the Formless were beginning to show. And even though Cynthia and Addison had manifested, I had yet to see them do anything with their {Fates}.
It was one thing to fight as a Formless and recognize {Rewind}.
But it was quite another to believe in one's own {Fate}. Much like my girls, I wanted to show the others what their {Fates} could do.
"Mike, Santiago, Joshua. Your {Fates} are {Pierce}, {Combust}, and {Disarm}, correct?"
The three nodded wordlessly. Experience more content on empire
I created a sharp edge with {Shelter} and sliced my wrist. Then I pulled out three empty reaper vials and filled them. Liv suddenly appeared at my side in the next second and pressed a towel to my wound. She also applied my own {Fate} to close the wound.
"{Regen}. My love, please cease this behavior. Can't you prick your finger instead? It hurts my heart to see you bleed so badly."
Unbeknownst to , my {Kindred} link was filled with feelings of anger and lancholy. I knew the girls didn't want to see hurt, but most of the ti I was acting on instinct.
Of all the pain I had endured in my short life as a Reaper, the bleeding from my wrist was nothing.
But what hurt more was the sadness I saw in Liv's eyes. It seed that I had to be careful. Even if it didn't hurt, seeing her like this did.
This woman created {Withstand}. She was used to suffering. Yet a simple cut on made her feel so much pain in her heart. So much so that she looked like she was about to cry.
Overwheld with love, I reached for her face and pulled her closer. She didn't resist and leaned in. We shared our love with a tender kiss. As our lips parted, I humbly apologized.
"I am sorry, my love."
"You are forgiven," she replied adorably.
Liv then quickly returned to the Sirens. Her face was red with embarrassnt. Enjoying her unfamiliarity with public displays of affection, I turned to my officers without a hint of sha. They all had complicated faces as they awaited.
Pretending nothing had happened, I handed the vials to the n.
"The three of you. Drink this and use my {Kist}. It is called {Bestow}. Use your {Fates} on so ammunition."
The guys looked like they had questions. But I ignored them and turned behind to address the Sirens.
"My precious {Kindred}, the ones who own my heart, can you please create targets for the guys?"
Despite my exaggerated serenade, the Sirens said nothing. However, the bliss they showered my {Kindred} link with, betrayed how much they like my cheesy line.
They created three {Shelter} targets, then used {Imaging} and {Flash} to manipulate the colors. Next, the girls used {Crush} to give the targets mass.
Suddenly, what looked like human silhouette steel targets manifested out of thin air. They looked like the ones that would appear on a shooting range.
All three were neatly arranged at the other end of the room. I also felt Bella adding sothing I could not understand.
It took the rest of us in the room by surprise, and although I understood how they did it, the feat was no less impressive. I gave my girls an appreciative smile as I silently thanked them.
"{Bestow}." X3
The three n applied their {Fates} to a few rounds for their pistols, the Sig P320s. They then loaded them and took aim. Awaiting my command, everyone stood motionless.
"Fire," I ordered.
Joshua, Mike and Santiago opened fire.
Joshua's target suddenly turned green.
Mike's target was pushed back and, after being hit by five rounds, was suddenly flung back.
Santiago's target caught fire after only one round, but turned to ash before he could even finish his magazine.
The three Phantoms saw the effects of their shots and their jaws dropped. They all looked at , waiting for a response.
"Well done," I praised.
