"Allow to introduce you to Mr. Serion." Loki chard, with a fitting smile of a devil.
Resting silently on a rose couch, a young man, holding a solid jaw and sharp features, smirked, draped in an aesthetic black suit one would usually see in the aristocracy.
"Why do won insist on wearing a mask to hide their beauty. Such a thing will only deter your grace, ms?" he questioned, awaiting my na, running his gaze over my body in a slow, ticulous manner to my disgust.
"Quite presumptuous are we. Typical of a man, when their virtue is not being threatened. " I swiftly replied, shooting Loki a capricious eye. "What is this about Snake?"
eting Loki was not within my plan. A sword was what I needed; while I own the Abyssal Blade, so powers in this world should not be taken likely. I am free of price within the Abyss, for it is my domain, but within the Heavenly Fathers Domain, I must follow his rule.
Using the blade once or twice is not a problem, but continuous use, of sothing that could sever even the building blocks of Dao to pieces, was not wise. And Seeing that my Mortal Dao was wisdom, I needed to follow my practice, not just for , but the Abyss.
While I think the craving for blood will forever remain, it will not be like those of the Devils and Demons. As I grow, so to will they; blood lust will not be their only trait; they will be people, just like . We needed to be more, and so to will Arsene, for he will be the first link between the Abyss and the Night. He will be the silver lining that will allow my kind to explore the One's realm.
Loki was but a ans to a deadly end, appearing out of the blue, while unwarranted, his company was not unwanted. He was in bed with the Fallen, a truth I knew as fact. Loki was a way to get info to Arsene without telling him the whole truth. My knowledge cos from the Abyss, and it is not without a price. Every second history is being revealed to , secrets of lost past, treasures of Fallen Monarchs. I can see it all but never ntion it.
Clearing his throat, Loki gestured to an empty chair within the auction house luxurious box ant for the more wealthy entrepreneurs. To my knowledge, Alos was but a place to raise children or enjoy a vacation. It was not in the heat of politics, at least not until you entered the Celestrial Palace.
Taking a seat, I crossed my legs and narrowed my eyes, just as Loki continued. "Mr. Serion, allow to introduce you to Lilith, the daughter of Asmodeus."
Serion Jerked his back to attention, shattering his relaxed deanor, revealing a pale complexion to my amusent. Hearing an audible gulp that seed to resound, consud with nervousness, I rested my palm against my chin.
"Lilith, please do forgive for my rudeness. I had no idea." Serion insisted, but I did not find myself the slightest bit entertained.
"I am sure you didn't." I coldly added, witnessing what it truly ant to watch soone sweat. "Although my main concern is why Loki brought to you? Care to tell what it is you do?"
Finding himself a seat just near , Loki snapped as the door to the private auction box closed. "I am a private investor. That does dealing with many of the noble families. For now, I am in Casia, but I plan on leaving the Swords Coast in a week." He said, regaining a bit of his confidence the longer he spoke.
"You see, my family sent here as to claim a particular artifact, a sword, Known as Riverfall. The na is a bit plain if you ask , but the blade has quite a history to it from what I gathered."
"And this should interest , Loki?" I coldly inquired, sending a glance towards the snake, listening peacefully.
"I am here to help you, of course, my dear. Or at least my Masters are. You see, they think you should claim this blade, so I invited Mr. Serion here at the last minute. After all, it will look odd if you send the bill sowhere else." Loki implied.
I would be a fool not to understand he was hinting that my identity would be uncovered prematurely.
"And this 'Riverfall' tell was it a last-minute entry?" I directed towards Serion, who suddenly frowned.
"It was. How did you know?" Serion questioned with growing suspicion, Loki, and I was pretty aware of.
I sneered, "So you are here for what?"
Pulling out a bottle of wine with three glasses, the snake chuckled to my dismay, "He is here because Mr. Serion owes a favor, quite a dear one. So he will be buying you this weapon."
"I am?" Serion shouted, rising to his feet.
Ignoring the shock written over the face of this fool, I grimaced, "Your Master's have quite the foresight to foresee that I require a weapon. A sha that they are bound to regret this."
"Loki! what the hell is the aning of this! Do you know what that blade ans to my family?" Serion growled, and I scoffed, rising to my feet.
"Arsene will be returning to the Palace tonight with a gift for the Mother of Yura. If you wish for to accept this weapon, you will deliver it to Yu-Shan personally." I inford, ready to take my leave. Knowing that whatever Zantar and the other fallen had in mind for us had to do with this blade.
Pressing past the turbulent divinity shifting the ambiance of this little eting, I didn't bother to look at the trembling Serion, who was sohow in the middle of Loki's palms. It did not matter what had happened to him, sa with Loki. However, I was worried about this Riverfall. There was a trap here, one I think that would benefit Arsene.
"I am under no obligations to do this, Lilith. We are, after all, helping you gain a weapon." Loki declared, but I knew there was a trap here, and so did he.
"Fine, then I will find another way to get a weapon. I am sure Asmodeus or Levithan will gladly give one." I swiftly inford, vanishing, teleporting myself once more to Midgard, holding a dark expression.
This will be good for Arsene, and there is one secret that no one knows aside from . The knowledge festered in the Abyss, in which all of creation resides, is mine.. I will know everything once that blade is in my hands and assuming it's an artifact before the Great Change or carries so relevance in the upper realms.
