Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 618 - The Sunken Isles

I hate those of the goddamn abyss. Time travel, Really? Screw whoever made that shit. How does one even defend against that? Two days she traveled back. Only to pay whatever component that was needed. I want to time travel as well. That shit just sounds broken.

Pursing my lips, I trailed behind Lilith as Arkanos and Ty sawm around us, lost in their own childish world. I want to be a kid, too. They don't have to worry about shit. Although I guess that is my fault. I did make a whole bunch of enemies. Then again, it's not my fault everyone gets offended by me whenever I speak. Bunch of bitches they are.

Glancing back to Sig and Kurt, I could not help grow curious about their intentions. A slum bastard like Kurt is sure to depart on his own. Sigfried may follow, but who can say. He is an idiot.

"Come on, Sene!" Lilith excitingly cried out with hopeful wonder. "Look!"

Soaring over by her side, a mindblowing utopia of a city laid beneath the water on the sea bed. Filled with blissful life of various nature and elements, I could not help but be stunned by its beauty.

"Holy shit, is this Atlantis?" I uttered aloud, unable to hide my surprise at the archaic architecture of Ancient Greek.

"It's one of the sunken half Isles. The Priest said that there are seven all-around Solrem. However, after a terrible battle between gods that shook the world, the tectonic plates greatly changed." Said Lilith, completely captivated by the majestic city covered in light.

I sighed, gazing at the rainbow coral reef, leading down towards the sunken isles almost like a road.

"I am going to hate this planet. I see nothing but fish in my future. God, I hope they don't stink. This is why I was so hesitant to go to japan back then! So much damn fish!"

"Papa is weird!" Said Ty slowly, smoothly over me without a care in the world.

"Right! Right! Papa is so picky!" Arkanos added alongside her sister.

Swatting away the two dragons like flies, I chuckled, taking Lilith by the hand. "Shall we go? The sooner we are done with this mission, the faster we can leave. I am sure the Holy Swords will have many questions being we the only ones to survive."

Pulling me along the coral reef that hid away my arc-enemies, I watched me with their damn fishy eyes that never blinked. God, I hate damn scaly bastards.

Trailing allowing the reef, as Ty and Arkanos picked up any shell that caught their eye towards the walls of the city, I could not help be somewhat glad neither Lilith nor I saw any guards stationed outside its Walls. Proceeding without much care, with Kurt and Sig following behind in silence.

I could not help like I had gone back in time, gazing at the many peopled draped in gold and silver dropped in robes. However, I could not help but be both disgusted and curious at the fish-like monsters I saw carrying themselves as though there were people.

"Asura, Amilia? The bloody hell are you doing here?" A sudden voice shouted, startling me, as I turned towards a violet-crusted crab-man that looked somewhat like Zoidberg on Futurama. Fluttering the tentacles that covered his mouth, he narrowed his round eyes. "You were not expected till six more months. How the hell are you here now!"

Blinking my eyes in amazement at this thing, I became lost for words for the first time in a while.

"There was an attack,' Siad Lilith darkly, her expression blanketed with sorrow. That went perfectly with the torn revulsion over Kurt's face. "We. We were the only survivors. Even Arken couldn't survive long enough before he perished. It was he who led us to this planet. But his injuries were too grave."

"The Holy Swords will not be pleased. Losing four Heavenly Lords is a huge loss." He claimed, startling us.

I only had one Heavenly lord. Did Lemuria kill three of them? Holy shit, such a huge loss. I wanted to kill them! Four Holy Swords, waisted! Screw that selfish bitch! How could she kill my prey!

"Please tell me you still have their bodies?" He asked. But I could only shake my head.

"After the first attack, we were ambushed. It's tragic, but we dared not keep Arkens body, not after we saw it. " I solemnly claimed. I was sure Arkens body was still in space, but it's probably a skeleton by now, or maybe dust. "But who are you? If you don't mind me asking."

"You may call me Talgor. I was to be your main contact. I had only received your information a few hours ago. The Stars must be looking out for you. Follow me. I am sure the Lords will wish a word."

"We will be parting here." Kurt suddenly said, not to my surprise in the least. "The Court of Nox is station over this planet."

"Lord Kurt, we still need to debrief you. Not to offend, but four of our Heavenly Lords are dead." Talgor swiftly claimed, narrowing his large dark eyes.

"Then make an appointment with the Court of Nox. For now, I am on a mission." Kurt coldly said, vanishing from sight. I smiled and glanced at Sig, who shrugged and vanished before anyone could say anything else.

"And here I thought Kurt was the kindest of all of Nox chosen. It seems like I was wrong." I shamefully muttered, shaking my head with disapproval.

"I heard that was the fair lady, Cleo." Talgor corrected. "It doesn't matter, for now, we need to head to the Sect Branch!"

"But Ty is hungry!

"Arkanos too! Papa Food!!!"

Listening to the two young dragons glare with their two large innocent eyes, I flipped them around, allowing them to stare at Talgor. "Tell him that. He is the boss."

Blinking away, Arkanos smiled and touched her tummy, "Food, Please!"

"We can't, " Said Talgor hesitantly. 'Four Heav--"

"But Typhoeus is hungry! Food Food Food!!!! Feed Ty!"

Fluttering his tentacles into what I could only assume was a smile. Talgor nodded. "There is a small shack down the street.. It's quick and good."
