phisto. That sly fox. Damn, he played everyone nicely. Although I'd thought the Fel were older than him. It seems I was wrong. that bastard actually helped create the Heavenly Laws. So that was who he was as an Angel.
Upon the birth of the Fel, it was probably then that the idea of rebellion was born. If phisto orchestrated the rebellion, it was safe to say that the Father was the actual reason behind it. That simple lesson had turned everything. He had tad phistos arrogance, tempering his will into seeing a bright world. It is strange to think that kids are so easily guided and that so lessons could backfire, growing into such a massive fire of no return.
What of my children?
Despite the high intellect, I know they will have, would naivety win over everything else? I think I understand why many high-level cultivators send their children into the real world to gain experience.
There are so many things to learn that a parent can't without backfiring. And from a distance, one can teach a child without them knowing. It is a perfect system, but a dangerous one. As so many things are at play in the real world.
"To teach without actually teaching," I said aloud.
"What was that?" Lara suddenly said, batting her large lashes at ; she stared while the butler prepared us so tea and biscuits.
"Oh nothing, just talking to myself," I casually explained, studying the little airhead lifting her cup of tea with both hands. "So, who are you? And how is it you know of ?"
"? I'm Lara. I told you already, silly! A Maiden of Mithra—AHHH!! Hot! OH NO!!! DUMMY LARA!!!" she scread, blowing on her tongue only to catch her mistake near the end.
Tears filled her eyes as I smiled. "Please don't tell anyone."
Dear God. It can't be this easy. Thinking for a mont, I chuckled, " So you must be Lammy. Zena did say you had a big mouth!"
A defensive look flashed through Lara's starry eyes as she stood up, snatching a few biscuits, ready to flee.
"Calm down, little bunny. It's fine; I'm not going to tell anyone your here." I said calmly as a look of relief left Lara's lips.
"Really?"
"Really," I said, unable to believe she would take my word at face value. Maybe she is an idiot. But still, A priestess of Mithra is sothing. However, she does seem too stupid to be one. Guess intelligence isn't really a factor.
"Hmm, Lara feels judgnt." The little lass pointed out, catching off guard.
"I would…Would…Never lie?" I said, almost unable to keep a straight face with the lie.
"Really! Good. Good. Lara was scared for a minute."
"..."
God, I see soone who needs help. Maybe Mithra's light is a little too much for her. I hope she has so type of brain cancer making her this stupid. Perhaps it's the light.
Clearing my throat, I smiled, " So Lammy care to—"
"Lara." She said, " Call Lara. Zena is a big bully. So I must hide."
"A bully, you say?"
Bobbing her head up and down, Lammy bit her biscuit, as her eyes filled with tears, " So good. Zena steals Lara's food. I've not eaten in days."
"So! you've co to the dark side." I couldn't help tease in an accent that resembled Bane. " Will you let the hate flow through you?"
"Hehe, your funny." She exclaid, " Zena said you are interesting. So can you feed Lara?"
Glancing at Zenta, staring a little too hard, I flicked the boy's head, "Go tell the butler to bring out so food. Lots of it."
Snapping his eyes at as though I was now his arch-nesis, he stood up and left the room, leaving alone with Lara.
"So I guess you escaped when my sister appeared. Truck-kun? She had my two daughters by her side?"
"That was your sister! Zena loves her! All the kisses that are usually mine go to her!" She exclaid, staring at as though I was a god.
"So, can you tell how to contact Lady Mithra?"
"My lord, I believe your sister told you to do the exact opposite." Zax suddenly inford from the ring of bael.
"I think it'll be beneficial to tell everyone what's happening regarding phisto. I am sure Lady Mithra might have so information regarding my Mother and what phisto's end ga is."
"Can't you just ask Lady Tenebrae? Lady Mithra is always having tea with her, sa with Luna."
Now that she ntioned it, I have never actually tried to contact Tenebrae. She was always the one to speak to . A sha, too, as she's done so much for .
"I see; I think I just might. Now onto the real reason, I took you in. Tell about your Order?"
"But it's a secret." She hesitantly said as the alluring scent of lunch began to trickle through the manor. Riling up not just her stomach but mine, I watched with a smile as she was about to speak.
"I can keep a secret. Just tell about Zena. Please~!"
"Well," She hesitantly started, " Zena is a holy maiden chosen from birth by Lady Mithra."
"But she's a La Fey; surely that has so complications."
Lara seed to nod as her face grew solemn. "It's as you say. Zena's Mother and Father were both murdered at an early age. At the age of one, Zena was forced to work in the Ether Mines, where light can't exist located beneath a city. Through ti manipulation, I have seen her small child-like hands bleed as radioactive ether began to eat away at her small body, but only through Tenebrae's love did she make it out alive."
"Tenebrae!" I said in utter shock.
"To be a child of Mithra is to share the love of Tenebrae. By the ti we maidens found Zena, she was forty-seven. Her mind was ravaged by the ether mines, causing her body to maintain the age of a small child, but her mind was that of a cold-hearted killer," She explained as I recalled the almost cheerful lass.
It was kind of hard to imagine her with such a carefree expression.
"The Ether they were mining ca from an Astral Vein, so the damage upon her soul was severe. At the ti, I was but a lowly maiden on a mission to find and capture Lady Zena by all ans. But by the ti we arrived, we had walked into a scarlet vein drenched with the blood of an entire city."
"A city? Surely, even if she worked in an ether mine, she wouldn't have the power to kill everyone."
"You forget of her blood? The blood of Morgana Le Fay runs through her veins," she explained, shaking her head. " Knowledge is power, but with a combination of the Astral Ether and Zena's blood. The progenitor took control of her mind and laid waste to everyone," she said in a saddened tone as tears fell from her eyes.
"..."
"You're older than Zena? Really!"
"..."
