Chapter 106- The Beginning of the Fall of Falheim
[Amaterasu POV]
Feeling a ripple in my home, I turn around to see Fu and Moco sleepily walking towards me.
“Ne, ne, Rasu...what’s so urgent you need to call us up like this?” (Fu)
“Yeh, we was sleepen real good ya know.” (Moco)
{You want Red to have a sister?}
That one question blew all their sleepiness away and they ran up to me and grabbed my hands.
“Who!?” (Moco)
“Where!?!” (Fu)
{Hold on, you two...Oh, and she can become an Apostle.}
I pulled up an image of Ortlinde and the two’s eyes started to shine, then that shine turned to a gleam. They faced each other.
“My Apostle!” (Fu)
“No, mine!” (Moco)
I rolled my eyes at their antics.
{Oi! This isn’t the time for this. Keeno needs Ortlinde to safety fast, so no arguing!}
“What’s happening?” (Fu)
“...! Oi...that ain’t good.” (Moco)
“Moco?” (Fu)
“That’s an abomination, Fu, look at it with your Authority, it’s that big dark spot.” (Moco)
“...! Oi...that ain’t good.” (Fu)
The two looked into each other’s eyes and came to a silent agreement.
“*ahem*Little one named Ortlinde, I am Moco, Goddess of Family and War, you meet the requirements for Apostleship. Do you wish to become the Apostle of Family and join us for eternity?” (Moco)
Ignoring that she finally revealed which twin had which Authority, I looked at the sight of Keeno’s group. Ortlinde seemed startled and was looking around panicked while hugging one of Keeno’s tails tightly. Keeno herself was patting her head and telling her that this was a good thing that meant they’d be together forever if she accepted. After several minutes, Ortlinde slowly nodded her head and accepted Moco’s offer. Ortlinde briefly shone before the glow vanished.
“Now, little Ortlinde, imagine a door in your head and walk through it. Ortlinde closed her eyes and took a step forward before vanishing from the mortal world and appearing in front of us. She kept her eyes closed but stopped moving forward.
“Hehe. Silly little one, you can open your eyes now.” (Moco)
Hearing Moco’s voice so close to her yet not in her head, Ortlinde’s eyes flew open.
“Eh!? W-where am I!? B-big sis Keeno!?” (Ortlinde)
She crouched down on the spot and started to cry. This sent Moco into a panic.
“Ahh. Little one, you’re okay, you’re safe. I’m Moco, the one you became the Apostle of.” (Moco)
“My Prince, she is a child so young I could be considered her grandfather, I beg you not to make such disgusting jokes. It is my intuition honed on the battlefield that tells me she is something more than she lets on. That she is someone that we should avoid making our enemy at all costs.” (Freyr)
“Hmm. I have heard your words, Freyr. Leave me so I may ponder over this.” (Prince)
“By your will.” (Freyr)
The Commander then left the Prince’s tent while the Prince stood in silent contemplation until sure that no one was around to hear his words.
“Old fool. You’ve become cowardly in your old age, resting all your hopes on a single girl. Though now I have an idea. Hehehe. Her eyes will make a glorious adornment for a mantle, especially if made into a statue of dragon scales. And her tails, oh her tails will make fine scarves, especially with winter so close at hand...both of her friend’s tails as well, maybe I should start a collection, after all what else are those beast freaks good for? Hehe. Ahahahahahahahahaha.” (Prince)
Chaos Realm:
Luna: ...Kill.
Tamamo: ...Kill.
Kill.
Order: Kill.
Astraea: Yay, murder!
Crisis: Wahahahahahahahahaha!
All in favor?
Everyone: AYE!
Then, I sentence Prince whateverhisnameis to a death crueler than anything. My Abyss friend, I will send his soul to you once Keeno has killed its fleshy container.
Ray of the Abyss: Noted.
Mofu: MOFU!!!!!
Astraea: No, Mofu, papa won’t let you eat that one...Papa?
Yes?
Astraea: Can Mofu have that king person’s soul?
Sure.
Astraea: YAY!
Mofu: MOFU~!!!!
Luna: ...
Don’t worry, Luna, we’ll let you get in some good hits as well, especially since that Prince has some similar motivations to a certain fake saint you are familiar with.
Luna: Perfect. I never did get to punch that mongrel for that, I let them off too easily.
I can always find their soul fragments for you.
Luna: Don’t tempt me.
