The Wind Spirit King, Verte had finally descended in the mortal land. He was hovering in the air with his lime green long braid hair in branches flowing behind his back. He was wearing an elven type of dress, making him look like a high-ranked fairy as his standing was.
He knew what his goal was for this mission. The first place he went to is the mansion where the Twin Gods and that person resides. Verte knew that his Sovereign was looking over him using the water mirror Lord Mayim used to own. They could converse directly through his thoughts.
Avel: {Is this the place of that God of Winter? How come I couldn't see what's inside this black mist.}
Verte responded, "This is a mist made from Darkness element. If I'm not wrong Lord Adrienne must be inside as well. The same for Lord Lucien as well."
Avel: {Can't you destroy it?}
Verte: "My Sovereign it is impossible for this little demigod to contend against the former rulers. I also feel like they would kill me if I force my way in."
The current sovereign was silent as he knew that the words his subordinate had spoken were all true. It is well-known in the land of gods how short-tempered Lord Lucien is and how much Lord Adrienne hates guests coming over in their place.
Avel was about to instruct his subordinate to retreat when suddenly they witnessed the black mist split into two revealing the hidden mansion and island within. Verte and Avel were stunned by seeing countless of ice, light, darkness, and water spirits playing around the island.
They were like children who had no care for the world at all. The moment they've recognized Verte all the spirits reacted quite calmly at his presence.
A light pixie spoke, "How come you can enter our house?"
"Look at the mist. Lord Adrienne must have allowed him in!" said the Dark Pixie.
"Impossible! Lord Adrienne would even throw out Lord Araysh every time he extended his visiting time here!" said the Ice Pixie.
A water pixie spoke out, "Ahno~ shouldn't we bring over the guest to the Lords first instead of guessing what should be done instead?"
The light, dark, and ice pixies responded, "Ah~ right. He must be a guest!"
The pixies of all four elements had surrounded Verte and pulled him over towards the door of the mansion at the center of the island. When Verte wanted to ask the water pixies where their lord is, they immediately ran away from him.
Verte asked, "Hi, water pixies. Could I ask where the God of Water is right now?"
As soon as the word, 'God of Water', was mentioned the water pixies all started crying as they ran away from Verte. After remembering that this is the man who works for that being who took away their Lord made them pass their hate towards him. Countless water balls fell on his head. It might be harmless attempts from the water pixies but it is still a humiliating experience. Despite that, this wind spirit king didn't get angry at all and kept asking about the whereabouts of the God of Water politely.
His persistence made the other pixies angry and when they were all about to attack Verte the door to the mansion suddenly opened revealing the face of Araysh from the inside. This fallen god remained expressionless upon seeing this Wind Spirit King.
Verte politely saluted, "Lord Araysh. Greetings~."
"Enter. The Lords are waiting for you but unfortunately, outsiders are forbidden to go inside," said Araysh as he welcomed the guest inside.
As soon as Araysh said those words the Water Mirror Avel used to spy on them was blocked by a black mist. Clearly, this is the work of the Dark God, Lord Adrienne. Seated on his throne Avel threw tantrums in anger but on the other hand, he couldn't do anything about it at all.
Avel was in rage, "Araysh you shit!"
Verte stared at the God in front of him who was looking blankly at the certain space above his head. Only when Araysh returned his eyes to him did he finally understand what he was doing. This person was talking to his Sovereign just now and cut off the link he had with him temporarily.
Araysh spoke, "Enter. You have something to say to the Lords, right?"
"Yes, please excuse me for barging," says Verte as he dried himself first before following Araysh inside the room.
The latter had escorted him towards the living where the three high-ranked gods reside. He even saw a comrade from the same race serving some tea and snacks for the three lords in the living room.
The scene in the living room stunned Verte speechless. The familiar faces of the former twin sovereigns were now wearing a human appearance and clothed in human clothing sandwiching an overly exquisite yet delicate beautiful young man with silver hair.
Lord Adrienne holds the young man's hand and plays with it while Lord Lucien is leaning his head on the silver-haired man's shoulder as he stares at a rectangular box with moving pictures on it. He was talking about the television.
Neige respectfully informed the Lords about their guests.
"My Lords, the guest had come over," said Neige.
Eirwen picked up the remote control for the television and turned it off. He twists his neck to look at the guest's appearance. Meeting the cold argent irises of the silver-haired man-made Verte felt he was poured with cold water in winter. Those phoenix-shaped eyes were extremely beautiful and tempting as if a sole lotus flower in the river during winter.
Adrienne's monotonous voice was suddenly heard, "How do you plan on staring at our wife?"
Followed by Lucien's playful voice yet frightening words, "Do you wish for me to dig your eyes out? Hm,~"
The threat coming from the two strongest gods made Verte suffer intense pressure beyond his limits. He is covered in a cold sweat as he trembles badly in response. He only felt the scary auras fade when he removed his eyes from the beautiful silver-haired man.
A helpless filled sigh came out from Eirwen's mouth.
Sigh~
The twins thought they did something wrong and turned meek instantly. They didn't speak a word but just held Eirwen's right and left hands then looked at him with puppy eyes.
Thoughts of Eirwen upon seeing his husband's puppy expressions. 'These bastards. Using this skill on me again. Hmp!' He pulled out his hands from their grips and grabbed the twin's face to cover it.
"Watch your expressions." scolded Eirwen only to slightly frown as he took away his hands on their faces. He didn't forget to glare at their smiling faces as he wiped away his hand on his pants.
'These perverts! Licking my palms ha!' Eirwen's thoughts.
Lucien and Adrienne ignored their lover's glare and held his hand once again. But when their face looked at Neige, Araysh, and the guest, it remained cold and expressionless as always.
"You three, take your seat," says Lucien.
Verte hesitated, "This little one is…"
But before he completed his words Araysh had pulled him over. Neige followed without question and took a seat at the couches in the living room. Araysh took the one where he could sit together with his lover, Neige while he took a single-seater one.
Eirwen, wearing his usual casual smile asked, "You must be here for me. Mayim had sent you, did he? If you are the one coming over that means the current sovereign is the Wind God, Avel was it. He died, right?"
An amused smile appeared on his face as if he wasn't talking about someone else dying.
Verte's face was distorted in anger and disbelief. "Impossible! I… This little one had come here because he had spoken to me. He told me to meet someone called Eirwen Night."
"That Eirwen Night you wanted to meet is me. The one who spoke to you in the sea is just a left behind will of Mayim and the one who told him to do that is me. In exchange, I will look after his children (Water Spirits).
He lost the gamble, didn't he? I told him before that if someone really is important to another, that person would never hurt you and will always notice every single detail in your life. It is either that or… to become a blind fool by giving everything you have on another regardless of his acceptance or not.
Your lord chose the latter and Mayim chose to be the former. Just tell me exactly what he wanted you to pass to me." says Eirwen.
Verte asked, "But how did you meet Lord Mayim? Your honorable have always been in this Mortal Plane."
"Mayim whenever he is heartbroken would use his mortal avatar and stay in the Spirit Forest. When my little ones (Ice Spirits) wanted to play there, I met him once, that's all. Among all the main gods except my lovers only he had the purest divine qi to possess. It must be because his parents were also Gods before they had left this world. He immediately knew that I am originally not of this world. He is a funny kid." explained Eirwen.
This time not only Verte was startled, even his lovers and everyone in the room did. Eirwen just smiles at them without a care for their reactions.
Adrienne asked, "How did he know?"
"He has special eyes which can see through souls. A special and extremely useful one. One of his parents must not be from this world as well and his parents must have gone to where I came from." says Eirwen.
Among them, the only ones who could vaguely understand his words were his two lovers and the Neige whose memories were taken from him. Meanwhile, Araysh completely understood the meaning of his words.
Araysh spoke, "He has connections from someone in Vearth then… Is Mayim someone from that person, Lord Hei?" his aura turns serious and murderous.
"Do you think I would let him alive if he does?" says Eirwen while chuckling. As if to him, killing someone is a normal routine to do. "I've checked on him. Mayim is not involved but his parents might be. Either way, they don't work for that person but I doubt they might still be alive."
Neige who was silent the whole time suddenly spoke, "If they don't work for Ye Guimo then… did they work for you my lord." he asked.
This question stunned Araysh greatly. People who could serve the God of Destruction themselves were all first class and most of them were Celestial Gods with title and name. But the God of Destruction rarely uses them as he likes to fight his own battles alone.
"You heard of the last SSS world I've destroyed before right? In that war, they didn't listen to my words to not come over and… You already knew the rest!" said Eirwen's tone turned extremely cold when he spoke the last sentence.
Silence ascended in the area and everyone didn't dare to speak. This is the first time they've heard Eirwen Night speak with such a tone. Anger, regret, remorse, and agony can be felt from his voice. Like a whining beast who had lost his family all at the same time.
Eirwen looked up and stared at the ceiling of his house but nothing could have entered his line of sight. Then he closed his eyes as if intending to sleep. Lucien and Adrienne felt their other half's mood was not good. They've decided for one to accompany him to sleep while the other stays to talk to the guest.
Lucien carried Eirwen in his arms, nodding only once at his brother as he walked towards the second floor to take their lovers to rest.
"Addie, I'll leave the rest to you," says Lucien.
"Go ahead and keep him company. I will bring over some snacks later," says Adrienne.
Everyone watched as Lord Lucien carried away Lord Night to the Master's Bedroom to rest. They only moved away from their eyes once the two were gone from their sight. The rest flinched meeting Adrienne's aloof yet cold gaze with a slight frown between his eyes. His mood is clearly affected by Eirwen's state.
Adrienne stared at Verte, "Neige, sent him to an empty room. He must not leave until Eira has finished his business with him."
"As you wish, Lord Adrienne," says Neige as he asks Verte to leave with him. Just based on Lord Adrienne's expression it seems that he wanted to speak with Araysh.
Neige gestured to Verte, "Follow me this way please."
Verte could see that this ice spirit king wouldn't take no for an answer. He would turn him into an ice statue if had to just drag him away. He could only accept his fate and follow the orders from the strongest.
"Please you first," says Verte as he followed after Neige who left the living room giving privacy to the two who were left behind.
