Chapter 84 - 84-Meeting The Inquisition Once Again
Within the Everlasting Plain, The Duel between the Demon Serpent and the Astral Spirit Lord was raging until an unwanted Guest ruined such Duel. Persia stood on a Hovering Boulder within the Heavens. She was planning to attack Statera only for a Fire Figure to appear and charged towards her. Persia was a bit surprised by a Third Party intruding the Duel. Before she could defend against the Fire Figure's Attack, A Dark Ashen Figure appeared in front of her and blocked the Fire Figure's Attack with ease.
"Ego?" Persia was a bit surprised to see Ego right in front of her. A Dark Ashen Figure revealed a Young Girl that looked like Persia. Her Dark Ashen Hair fluttered through the Air as her Golden Amber Eyes glowed brightly. She had Two Ancient Horns a bit smaller than Persia's. Her Appearance was more or less similar to Persia as Ego's Wings were different. They were feathered wings from a Demon Phoenix.
Ego kicked the Fire Figure back to the Group of Strange Figures around Statera. She turned her head towards Persia with a Neutral Expression and spoke with a monotone voice. "It's nice to meet you, Sister. I'm sorry for intruding on your fight with the Astral Spirit Lord. I have my reasons for doing such a thing. A Third Party intruding on your fight meant that she was never fighting against you alone. She planned to ambush you when you were focusing on her. Such Vile Being..."
It seems that Ego had a Bad Idea between the Fight of Statera and Persia. The Misunderstanding was rather detailed, but such a reaction was under expectations for someone like Ego, who analyzes everything. Though, she might have overanalyzed the current problem. Persia, hearing Ego's reasoning, was rather intrigued. Persia sighed as the Fire Figure revealed its True form as it stood right beside Statera.
It was a Buff Man surrounded by Fiery Flames. He had Red Crimson Hair and Yellow Orange Eyes. He had an Orange Ashen colored Skin, and the Buff Man wore simple clothes. Hearing the reason of Ego, The Buff Man countered with a Serious voice. "Your Sister is the crazy one. Look at the destruction she caused." Statera, hearing the man, couldn't help but shake her head and sighed at such words.
Statera then looked at the Two Figures right beside her. The Trio around her that intruded the fight was the Spirit Lords of the Nation Astra. She was a bit angry at her Duel being interrupted as it was punishable by death. Though, that was long ago, a dozen millennia in the past. Times have changed, and the peace brought upon the recent century caused fluctuations between the societies within the Realm of Piksyon.
"Aqua, are there reasons for your intrusion?" Statera asked with a calm voice as a Blue Azure Haired Lady looked back at her and stared at her as if she was an idiot. The Blue Azure Haired Lady was Aqua, The Spirit Lord of the Water. A Handsome Young Man who stood right beside Statera also looked at her and decided not to hear such words. The Young Man had Green Emeral Hair. He was the Spirit Lord of the Wind, Ventus. The Troublesome Guy who attacked Persia was Igneus, The Spirit Lord of the Flames.
"Your Majesty, We have received a Report from a Spirit Noble that you are fighting someone. Most of us are in our Households and would less likely leave it. The News forced us to go out for the first time in years, and hearing a Continent Falling upon the Great Forest made it clear that your Majesty is fighting a strong enemy." Aqua answered and explained the reasons the Spirit Lords have. Statera, hearing such reasons, lost her anger as it was mainly Misinformation.
"I see..." Statera sighed as Lord Mayon appeared right beside her. Statera looked at Mayon and noticed the serious look plastered on Mayon's face. Statera knew that she must have messed up real good if her Aloof Secretary was serious about it. Persia, on the other hand, began explaining everything to Ego.
"It seems that you have misunderstood a lot of things, Ego. I'm having a duel with Statera, and the Third Party is mainly her misinformed subordinate. The Intrusion was rather an accident between misinformed individuals." Persia explained after hearing every bit of information from Statera's subordinates. Ego, hearing the reasons, lost her hostility and looked at the Spirits. "I simply defended, Sister."
"Well, Thank you for defending me. That would have ended way worst if that Fire Guy managed to get near me." Persia patted Ego as her Fighting Intentions against Statera instantly disappeared. Meanwhile, Statera and Mayon looked at each other. The Duel was a good thing for Statera and Persia, but it was clear that it was only for the two of them.
"Do you know where you went wrong? Your Majesty? I would have supported this Duel of yours for your own sake, but I'll stop it for the Great Forest." Mayon then looked at Persia, who felt a chill on her spine. Persia looked at Mayon and noticed the Serious expression plastered on Mayon's face. "Ego, Please gather the Inquisition Members," Persia ordered as Ego nodded and disappeared from the spot.
Persia then walked towards Mayon and stood right beside Statera. Mayon looked at Persia and spoke. "Please destroy it," Mayon said with a calm voice as Persia nodded and flicked her fingers. The Destroyer of Reality lost its power and disappeared from Reality. A Giant Crater appeared after the Destroyer of Reality disappeared. The destruction caused by the two had come to light.
A Gigantic Deep Hollow Land, spanning a Hundred Kilometers in Diameter. The Crust of the Everlasting Plains turning into Magma. Thousands of Flying Islands and Boulder fell back to the sky. It was rather fortunate that most Spirit Nobles already retreated from the spot, or else the problem might have gotten complicated. Numerous Craters from Explosions and the Unnatural Cloud Formation in the Heavens. That was the damaged cause by Statera and Persia. It was them holding back the destruction they caused.
"Hear this... I know that the two of you are holding back. But looks at this? How many years would it take to repair this damage? If I didn't stop you, The destruction in front of you might have been worse. Not only that, But you are in the middle of the Great Forest. a Populated Part of the Continent. It will not only affect the Spirits, but the Dwarves, Elves, and Beastfolk would also be affected." Mayon sighed as she continued explaining the reasons why she called the Spirit Lords and gave Misinformation.
"I apologized for interrupting your Duel, But could you please continue it outside the Great Forest?" Mayon bowed as Statera and Persia looked at each other. They sighed as it was their fault for going too far. Despite holding back, the destruction they caused would affect the Great Forest. Persia wouldn't want her record to be a Giant Trouble for her neighbors. That would be unpleasant.
"We understand your reasons. We'll stop the Duel," Persia spoke as Statera found herself frozen at the scene of Mayon bowing towards her. Mayon was the only one that was a weak being that Statera considered as equal. Such a girl begging in front of her was distasteful for Statera. Statera could still remember the last time Mayon bowed to her. Statera sighed as she might have acted like a Brat going wild. She was a Ruler, and destroying her land for a duel was rather unpleasant for her. The Battlemaniac personality of hers has caused problems to those around her.
"I'm sorry, Mayon. I might have acted like a Battlemaniac." Statera apologized as Mayon shook her head. "There is no need to apologize, Statera. In the end, we are the ones anchoring you." Mayon spoke as Statera fell in silence. Persia seeing the two of them knew that a Drama was about to start, so she decided to go *Bravo six, going dark.* Then Persia disappeared from the spot, never to be seen again.
Persia then reappeared in the edges of the Everlasting Plains. She looked around and saw numerous white figures at a distance. The Crescents immediately noticed her as they waved their hands towards their Master. It had been weeks since they met together, and it was time for them to meet once again. Persia walked towards the Crescents with a soothing smile plastered on her face.
"Master!!!" The Crescents shouted as Persia arrived in front of them. "It has been a while," Persia spoke as the Crescents hugged her tightly. Though, most of them were the Young Ones. Luna, Capita, and Marx were with the Young Ones while the Older Ones looked at them with a smile. Ego stood right beside the Older Ones as she also had a smile after seeing her Sister as a dozen weeks had passed.
While smiling, Ego felt the Earth slightly rumbling. She looked in the direction where Statera stood and sighed.. "Problem."
