Opening my eyes, I gazed at father on his knees, shivering like a lost child as he dared not raise his head.
"Father? Are you ok?" I asked in skepticism as he looked up with relief.
"Hail Lucifer, fuck, I thought it was finally over. " I muttered, with sweat pooling from his brow. Sending me an odd glance, he spoke once more, "... do.... do you remember what happened?"
"There was a voice... it was different. I felt four pairs of eyes followed by his words than nothing." I explained as my mind trailed off. "Wait, how long was I out?"
"A few hours. Why?"
Snorting, I stepped closer to father, knocking his head, "I do have a day job, you know. Plus, I wanted to check on Arsene. He did decimate almost half the prison filled with criminals at the Gate of truth and Death."
"Please, the worse that happens is that he gets raped while un..."
"You make it sound like your Ok being filled up... Did mother you know..." I hesitantly asked, taking a step back as Father shuttered. A gleam of anger flashed over his crimson eyes as he glared.
With a snort, my vision blurred as I somehow appeared within my office, "You banned from the Nines... Ya, little shit. Do not call for me again!"
Bursting into laughter, I giggled as Lili voiced in a dark tone, "We are different."
"I know... I feel different too. My cultivation is still the same, but my body is completely different. I think father lied. I don't think a few hours passed...but rather millions of years, if not cycles. Time is, after all, relative, but I truly feel different." I lightly said, returning to my Vis form.
Taking my seat, I sighed in annoyance, "And there are two beings that were watching me. They seem related to Arsene. Any Idea's who they are?"
"I do not, but we have enough on our plate. Whomever they are, they do not seem like enemies. Like Aldrich is turning out to be. They did a lot for Arsene, apparently." Lili softly wisped.
"Agreed, Olivia how is Arsene?" I coldly asked as an emerald-colored elf appeared before me.
"he is unconscious, my lady. No one knew it was him due to him turning into that monster, but the doctors are looking after him along with the thousands that were almost killed. He will be safe."
"Good, now are you ready to return home?" I lightly asked as Olivia tilted her head.
"But isn't lady Ezra heading to Alfheim?" Oliva weakly said with a hint of fear.
"So? She is heading there to negotiate should she fail. I plan on having the entire world go to war with the golden dragons that live deep within the mountains of Alfheim." I coldly said, "I am sending you back to the high elves as a representative of the Celestrial palace. Your goal, my little servant princess, is to convince your parents that abandoned you to join me. You, as a World God close to being one step into a true god, should be easily accepted. "
"Lady Yura, that's...."
"I know, but I need the power of the Ljosalfheimr(light Elves). The Dökkálfar(Dark Elves) are not that prominent within Alfhiem, but many of their older bloodlines still reside there. They are completely different from the normal Dökkálfar in Svartálfheim. We need them just as much as your ancient bloodline. We gave you revenge against the slave owners, but it's time for you to return what was given Olivia. Complete this assignment, and you are free. As the Daughter of the Celestrial Lord, I Yura Snow promise you that."
Falling to her knees, Oliva shivered, "my lady, all I have ever wanted was to serve you."
"then go; I will be visiting Alfheim soon. Times travels far quicker there, so announce your arrival. You are currently the representative of the Celestial Palace. Take an army if needed; just have those bastards acknowledge you as their daughter. In a few years, you Olivia will be the new queen of Alfheim."
With a look of awe, Oliva bowed, vanishing as I gave a cold smile, "Maybe I am becoming just like you, Arsene. I am now using my dearest friend like a pawn, and I don't regret it. Once Olivia becomes accepted, I will descend to Alfheim."
Closing my eyes, I sighed as Lili sounded, "Do I really need to tell you this again? You need to cultivate Arsene has caught up Lilith. Both of you are now at the first stage of Earth Realm, but you are only at the peak of Gate of Fire. He is officially stronger than you."
Snorting, I shrugged, "Please, if we battled, I would still win. I have been a soul bender far longer. The amount of comprehension I have over the Heavenly Dao is inconceivable to most. Not to mention my understanding into the Mortal Dao of Wisdom. Once I reach the first stage within that Dao, I will finally be able to start my abyssal Artes. Arsene still needs a few years to contend with me. Although against other soul benders, that would be an amazing battle to watch."
Releasing a whisper, my fingers lightly dug into my flesh as I placed my palm upon my chin. "Shall we go visit him? or should I see them? It's been a few months, or was it years? I can't remember. "
Licking my lips, I arose, my eyes flashing as I looked northwest within Arsene's direction. Lightly smile, I shook my head, "No, I need a new servant, and it's been a while since I saw my parents."
Puffing my lips with a hint of annoyance, celestial qi began to fill my body as I teleported myself into the ring of the Celestial Heavens.
"Princess Yura? AAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhh PRINCESS!!! You have returned!!!" A loud voice sounded as I gazed towards the elderly guard with a slight smile. Watching as the rolls of aged flesh jiggled at his excitement, I almost burst into deep laughter unbecoming of a princess.
"Marcous, come on, it hasn't been that long...only seven years." I lightly said as tears ran from his eyes.
The ring of the Celestial Heavens was a port for all those that wanted to enter the Celestrial Palace. It didn't matter who you were if you wished to enter the Palace of Heavens. You needed to enter this ring. However, a being like Bael or any of the princes and Kings didn't need to adhere to such rules.
Sensing the dense Celestrial qi, I sighed. This place was really the best place to cultivate. "Open the gate; I haven't seen mother nor father in years."
"Aye Aye Princess," Marcous yelled in a youthful voice in contrast to his elderly appearance.
"it's always a pleasure Uncle Marcus" I joyfully said, sending a wink as my body began to fade into the ether.
"AHAHAHA, Tell your fiance I say hello!!!" He yelled,
"Huh?!"
