Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

“OOOOH, is that Papa!”

“Hi, Papa, it’s me! Ty! Oh, and Arkanos. Hiiii!”Came the joyful words of the two dragon girls, who seemed to have quite a growth spurt. Although still two little loli’s.

Unable to stop smiling, I ran my finger over the mirror, using traces of divinity to turn the image into a 3d model for me to see everything.

“By the Night! You two got big!”

“But of course, Papa! We’ve got the bestest plan!” Said Ty knowingly, while her sister nodded in recognition.

‘Why are your daughters so cute?’ whispered Ezra.

“Cause I adopt cute, of course! Just as well as I make ’em cute.”

“Weird brag, master.” Said Ezra looking at me a little strangely.

Shrugging my shoulders, I could not be bothered to care about Ezra. My baby girls were getting big, but they were still hiding something from me. Traveling with my sister for so long. I’m starting to wonder what the hell is going on. I smell a plot afoot.

“Hehe, Look at my big bubba! Trying to figure out Truck-kuns Master plan? Fool! You’ve only adopted the dark! I—”

“That has nothing to do with anything,” Came the voice of Mithra as she appeared within the virtual image.

She had long blonde hair that waterfall over her back, starry gold eyes, and a face that could steal any man’s soul. Her skin was a healthy pink that reminded me of babies, while her mouth held a single fang that made her seem like a mischievous fox.

“Whatya looking at?”

“He’s taken by your beauty,” The little brat of a sister sang, worming her way onto Mithra’s blonde hair, with a cheeky smile. “Hiiiiii, bubba!”

“Bitch are you drooling on me!”

“But big bubba is here!”

“Don’t you dare drool on me!”

Amazed by what I saw, I even glanced at Lavos, who looked like his mind was breaking.

“Soooo,” I said, clearing my throat for all to hear. ” Why the call? Not that I mind staring at such lovely ladies.”

“Your lucky Azazel isn’t here,” Said Mithra with pursed lips.

“Still trying to connect to your daughter?”

The Goddess of Light nodded. “Yep, at least your wife is no longer making things difficult?”

“Really? Oh, wait. Is it because of Zariel’s child?”

“Yep. Big Sis Lili has become like a daycare for everyone. OOOOOH, you should see it, bubba! All the chibis are drooling and singing. It’s so cute! And they especially like Lili’s baby bump. You should see them trying to bite her tummy. Literally. The cutest thing.” 𝗼𝘃𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴

“And you’re not there? Why?” I couldn’t help but ask, watching as a guilty expression marred my sister’s cute lips.

“She got banned,” Mithra answered with a foxy grin. ” She made the little toddlers rise against their parents…. It became known as the War of Toddlers. And I should say none of the young ones are weak. Sooo. You can imagine the chaos they caused. At one point, Mother, Luna, and I had to join in to help.”

“Big bullies!” Said Truck-kun moanfully in a hushed whisper.

“I love your sister. She’s so cute. Chaos incarnate” whispered Ezra. “I want one.”

“Baby Jin is so cute! I want all the hugs and kisses! How could big brother push a fellow Snow member away.”

“Jin?”

“Oh, you don’t know. That’s the name of the firstborn.” Truck-kun remarked with a drooling smile.” Aaah, so cute. He’s a little drool monster!”

“BITCH GET OFF ME!!!!! YOUR WETTING MY HAIR!”

“Tsk.”

Amused by the relationship I was seeing, I figured Ty and Arkanons would be handfuls on their return. God knows I’m going to need help with them.

“Anyway, what are you doing with this guy?”

Looking at where my finger was pointed, Mithra quickly frowned as her eyes widened. ” Don’t you dare touch him or his wife!”

Clearing my throat, I raised my hands. “How dare you accuse me of something nefarious! Woman, I am blessed by the Abyss! I’m—”

“The abyss is an entity of utter chaos and ruin.”

“… So a woman.” I teased, watching as Mithra’s expression turned red.

“You sexist…’

“Well, she is a woman, right?”

“Well—Yeah.”

“So how was that—”

“You know what you did!” Said Mithra angrily before she cleared her throat in her palm, calming herself before speaking in a calm timbre. ” Anyway, I would like for you to leave those two alone. I’ve plans for these two. So long as Lavos can complete his pilgrimage.”

“Oh? And do you know he possesses a Teleth Weapon?”

“Teleth? What’s that.”

Noticing the confusion over Mithra and Truck-kun, my eyes began to narrow. ” They’re the new breed of angels and fallen? Teleth appears at the death of any Fallen or Angel. You—”

“Dummy. I’m from the future. That information came from there originally. And now I guess this is how they got their name.” Lily remarked, releasing a long sigh.

‘I know. Shut it!’ i replied.

‘How do you know this” the Goddess of light asked, her gaze slowly turning hard.

“I’ve my sources, and I’ve killed one already. I’ll transmit my findings to you and the Order in a bit, but this new race is a problem. Especially their weapons.” Seeing no reason to keep this information to myself, I explained all I knew and made sure not to talk of Lily. The only people I would share that info with would be the Order of Chaos.

But the fact that not even Mithra knows of their existence worries me… Could they be able to hide from higher beings?

As a Monarch, I know the only way to hide from higher beings is to enter sub-space, but that’s dangerous. One wrong move, and you’re dead. I’ll have to ask Lili; she should know.

“I’ll gather the Fallen and Angels. But this should only be a Fourth Heaven problem.” Mithra comforted herself, but I merely shook my head.

“It’s not… I think the moment Balor anointed himself, GOD, he put particular events into motion. Events not even he was aware of.” I theorized, pondering for a bit, “God restricted the throne for many reasons. This could be a consequence that will affect not just us but everyone. Angels especially… if the Teleth ate born from the corpses of Fallen and Angels. What type of power did Balor tap into, and is it only the angels that are affected, or will new races rise from the dead or the ether?”
