Chapter 687: A Day In The City Of Shadows Part 2

Pov Irina's:

"You could at least use a sound barrier." (I)

"Sorry, but in my defense, I was dragged by her." (Irius)

"Don't lie to me, you are physically stronger than she is, I could have resisted if I wanted to." (I)

"If I resist it might be worse, she loves a challenge and it's already very difficult the way it is." (Irius)

"I don't care what you two do, just remember my room is right next to yours, there are certain things I don't want to hear my brother doing." (I)

"Sorry..." (Irius)

I was walking through the halls of the mansion inside the dungeon next to my brother who I found leaving his room next to mine, while I couldn't sleep and I was tired, he was bright and with a stupid smile on his face.

After we get to the kitchen early in the morning, I see Ibuki sleeping on top of a table with a belly bigger than his own body while having big empty plates around him, Caryna was humming while cooking and her husband Leo was picking up the empty plates.

"Good Morning." (I/Irius)

"Good Morning." (Leo)

"You guys got up early, good morning to you both." (Caryna)

"Ibuki ate all the food again?" (I)

"Yeah, we just turned around for a few minutes to get some fresh fruit from the garden, when we got back she was like this." (Leo)

Sigh

"Let me take her to her room." (I)

"Thanks, that helps a lot." (Leo)

I take Ibuki in my arms and take her to her room, she doesn't even sleep here normally, but it's still her room.

After that I go back to the kitchen where Irius was drinking a bottle of blood, he picks up a bottle on the table and throws it to me who I take it to drink.

After a while of waiting for Caryna to finish the meal, we grab something to eat before heading out, Irius heads to the training grounds while I head to the library.

I've been studying more about magical barriers, I've been learning a lot about this very specific field of magic, in addition, I've been studying a little bit about spells that I can use from the shadow element.

I've noticed that I focus a lot on light magic and use water magic secondarily, this is something I've done since I was a kid due to the training my brother and I went through at the Church of Light, because of that I've been ignoring an aspect of my power, the shadow element I acquired when I became a Vampire.

Because of that, I've been focusing more on this element, the shadow element proved to be very versatile, but difficult to use.

After studying magic for hours I leave to go to the temple to see my sister Vanessa.

When I get there, I see Vanessa instructing Athena and her group on aspects of Vampire culture.

Vanessa has received our Father's permission to turn Athena and her friends into Vampires, but first, she wants them to learn about Vampires' culture, history, and philosophy.

She wants them to have an understanding of what they will become before the transformation, she is not wrong about that, they must be well informed about their future race to be sure of their decisions.

Vanessa told me the other day that she is also teaching them about the Goddess Selene, we both know that Church of Light knowledge can be very biased about many things, especially when it comes to Vampires.

Vanessa saw me and left Athena reading the book with the History of Vampires, of course, it's not the whole story, it's just collections of the most important parts of the story.

Vanessa and I enter a secluded room, I grab a bottle of blood and toss another one to my sister.

"How's their teaching going?" (I)

"It's going great, but am I worried about Athena?" (Vanessa)

"Why? She seems to be doing fine." (I)

"She seems to be creating a strong prejudice against the Church of Light." (Vanessa)

"Considering her history, I can't deny that this was inevitable." (I)

"Not only that, she seemed to be seeing how the Church of Light manipulated various stories to make the Vampire race as evil as possible to the Church of Light believers." (Vanessa)

"Just let her calm down, she must have so much accumulated against the Church of Light that it's just overflowing right now." (I)

"You might be right." (Vanessa)

It seems Athena harbors a lot of resentment against the Church of Light, it worries me how she will react when we start to see more members of the Church of Light.

"Have you come to see me for what purpose?" (Vanessa)

"I wanted to know how you were and I wanted to see your preparations for school." (I)

"Leonardo is starting construction tomorrow." (Vanessa)

"All these fights in the holy land that we helped create left him without the manpower to do the work, so it took so long." (Vanessa)

"Thank goodness there are a lot of people coming to me in the library to learn magic." (I)

"No one is looking for me." (Vanessa)

"You are a Priestess, nobody expects you to teach about magic, they think you will. About your religion." (I)

"Ask to speak with Erica." (Vanessa)

"Almost everyone is afraid of her, besides she is very focused on her magical research on curses." (I)

"What about Rakan?" (Vanessa)

"He sleeps half the days in the library, he only thinks about research, in addition, he often gets lost in big magical explanations that are difficult to understand." (I)

I talk to my sister for a bit until I hear a noise, then I look outside and see Hela fighting Lilith in the sky above the city, they are fighting without magic using only their melee combat.

Luckily neither of them is fighting seriously or half of this city would be destroyed, the way they move and aren't using full force in their punches shows that this is just training.

After the two flew away from the city during their combat.

I say goodbye to Vanessa and go to the mansion, while walking I enjoy seeing people of various races walking around.

"(I never thought my life and my brother's would be like this one day.)" (I)

"(I never thought I'd be so happy for such simple things.)" (I)
