Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 685 Lilith Snow - Gathering



"Mommy."

Shaken by the voice of Arkanos reaching my ear, I opened my eyes once I felt a pair of arms try to wrap around me. Out from the sides of the egg, two small arms had shattered its cage, wiggling with some strange substance over her arms.

"Arkanos?" I said.

"Mommy, Arkanos is stuck." She cried, putting a grin on my face. "Help Arkanos."

I lifted my lips, and a whisk of abyssal force coiled around my finger. Devouring the scarlet light of the complex runes meant to help the change by granting an excess of Abyssal Qi to the new form creature, similar to how a mother would present her newborn milk upon its birth or how a mother would feed a child through the umbilical cord. I tapped upon the shell where Arkanos head should be—shattering the dragon shell without the slightest resistance.

Staring at the scarlet eyes brimming with tears, Arkanos leaped into my chest and simply trembled. Wrapping my hands over her still silver hair, I held her close. Not much had changed, appearance-wise, aside from her eyes turning a deep shade of scarlet with nodes of silver that glowed with a spiral force.

Holding her tightly, Arknons went limp in my embrace. Fainting moments after her rebirth, I held her up and turned to Seraphina, staring with wide shock. Unsure if she could move yet or not, I teleported us to Midgard, within my room, where the little dragon could meet up with her sister. After washing her body of filth and placing some robes over her naked body.

"You look like you are about to faint as well." I jeered, resting Arkanos over the bed, listening to her soft snores.

"I sometimes forget you are part of the abyss; I always envision them as dark and scary, not pretty, with a gracefulness to them." She conveyed, releasing a strenuous breath, "that room was downright scary. I felt like I was about to die."

I smiled, ready to speak when the door to my room was almost blasted off the hinges as Little Ty came flying in. Whipping past Sera and onto the bed, she smiled, peering down at Arkanos, then back at me with large beady eyes.

"She lived," Said Ty in a squeaking voice.

"Of course, "I said as a matter of fact. "Was there ever any doubt."

Ty shook her head and poked Arkanos\'s warm cheek carrying a healthy glow. She giggled. "Ty missed little sis. It\'s been a little lonely with only Aunty Nyx and Freya."

"Nyx is here?" I asked.

"Hm," came her response slipping beneath the covers. She peered up at me, "Ty and Arknaos will sleep together. Go away."

"This is my room." I could not help but remind.

Sticking her tongue out before pulling up the comforters, I rolled my eyes and turned my head, noticing the somewhat envious stare on Seraphina.

"Oh? Do you want children? I am sure I can find a man to plant his seed. Or you could just create your own. I hear that some Gods will do that when they don\'t want help from others."

"It seems that devil you married has left his mark on your tongue." Sera scolded, snorting curtly, but she did not seem to answer my question.

I left to look for Nyx while Sera followed like a lost duck. Not needing to travel far as the sounds of chatter near Arsene\'s throne reached my ear, I pushed through the doors, bearing a smile, and noticed two women lost in deliberation.

"You!" The dark-headed goddess pointed squarely at me, "Where are Melinoe and Hades!" were the first words, \'They were gone for about six years.

"Is the underworld in a state of mess?" I inquired.

"Well, no." She said. "But that\'s not the problem. They just vanished, and I have not been able to find them."

"They are in the Plane of Oblivian," I told, somewhat revealing the situation regarding what I needed from Hades and Melinoe. Leaving out bits of information regarding Riverfall, Nyx puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms.

"So Arsene\'s big sis finally arrived. We have been waiting for the longest. Has your pantheon begun preparing for war?\'

Nyx nodded, "We started to gather our armies when some mad man declared the extinction of the Bed of Chaos. Everyone is stricken and lost."

"I was just telling her about Zeus." Freya suddenly interjected, "When we returned to Midgard, I just tossed him to the side, but from the reports, all he does is sit near the crystal pond."

"We have a crystal pond?" I suddenly asked.

Freya rolled her eyes, "You and Master are never here, so you two always miss these things. Zeus just stares; seems the hells were a little much on him."

"It doesn\'t really matter what he is feeling," said Nyx, " He is under a slave mark; all we need is a body. Quite a good thing. I have never liked him."

"And the armies of Hell?" I questioned.

"Pouring out in streams. All the knights of hell are here, alongside Prince of Hell Bael. They are setting out camp upon the mountain. According to some of the rumors, Asmodeus granted Bael all of Sitri\'s generals and men." Freya said, "Tensions are rising on Midgard. Also, the Court of Nox, alongside those of the Court of Blood, is here."

"I have to return to Noctem, but let Eroma handle the Demons and Devils, and let Greyson the Court of Blood and Nox. Those two are smart enough to—"

"Really, Eroma? He has been trying to fuck through my handmaids. "Freya flatly said, crossing her arms, " Surely you are kidding?"

Chuckling at that idiot\'s antics, I nodded, " I will send Elsa with him just in case but do not underestimate him. His usefulness goes far past that facade he portrays."

"Can-Can I go with you to Noctem?" Nyx squeamishly asked, shaking with stars in her eyes.

\'Oh, me too!" The lusty voice of Adrienne cried from the shadows, wrapping her arms around me with a bright smile; she pressed her cheeks against mine, "What do you say, love? Wanna take me on a romantic tryst? Arsene doesn\'t have to know? It could be just us girls." She whispered, sneaking her hands downwards.

Swatting those naughty palms away, I smiled, "Maybe if Arsene can watch. I never had a woman before."
