"Are you sure we shouldn't notify the Patriarch?" (Athena)
"My Dad already has a lot of things to focus on, we'll sort that out for him." (I)
"The Holy Son has already accepted it anyway, he doesn't usually go back on what he decides." (Lilian)
"Even when I should." (I)
I was with my daughters Lilian and Athena to pick up 3 people who are arriving in the city of Colosseum.
We were going to the teleportation gate that exists here in the city to wait for their arrival.
"The power of Authority is unique to each one I've studied." (Athena)
"In addition to certain races that have a known path to acquiring this power such as True Dragons, Spirits, and Fairies, there are also certain individuals that have the ability to attempt to acquire this power." (I)
"Vampire Patriarchs or Matriarchs have that spark within them, people like Saints and Champions use the Authority of the God they represent." (I)
"Could you use the power of the God of Light, mother?" (Lilian)
"No, I was just considered a Saint by people, I wasn't a real Saint yet." (I)
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Now that I think about it, maybe it was that doubt I always had that kept me from becoming a Saint of Light back then." (I)
I still remember those days, everyone treating me with kindness and affection wherever I was, everyone's face always smiling, but now I know it was never me they were seeing, I was fooled too long by the glitter on the surface and I stopped see the darkness behind the light.
"At least we're finding peaceful people today, but I'm worried about some of them." (Athena)
"Who worries you?" (I)
"You will see, it would be difficult to explain, it will be easier to show." (Athena)
"..." (I)
We were walking through the streets, and even though we were wearing masks, we weren't the only ones, many people were wearing masks, I think the biggest impediment we had was when a man and a woman with black curly hair appeared in front of us kneeling in the middle of the street, that It caught a lot of people's attention and I felt that attention trying to figure out who we were.
I was able to tell these two Vampires to meet us at the mansion where we are staying, before rushing to our destination, these people were Vampires from the Temple of Blood, I realized by their clothes and red eyes, so I invited them to the mansion later tonight.
-------------
When we arrived at the teleportation gate, but specifically at the entrance of the building, there was a punching match between two men, one of them being a Demon and the other a Beastman from the Bear tribe, neither of them was taking a step back while we were an arm's length away from each other, his punches created shock waves that disappeared before reaching the audience as if there was a barrier I couldn't see around them.
There appeared to be a beautiful woman trying to stop the fight, but the shock waves were making it difficult to see her.
The two were emitting a lot of murderous intent towards each other, and the audience around was making bets to see who would win, when I saw who was making the bets I took my hand to my face or in this case the mask when I realized it was Loki.
"What did she..." (I)
"She liked this town a lot, spends a lot of time creating havoc... I mean creating odds to set up betting tables." (Athena)
"..." (I)
She waves in our direction as the betting continues, I turn around and realize the large crowd wasn't just for that, there were dozens of people hugging and talking, I could also hear a certain word in that part of the crowd a lot as it was being repeated for many, that word was family.
That part of the crowd was made up of people of many different races, but everyone was getting along so well, it was a very light and friendly atmosphere compared to the area that had that fight.
"Is this some kind of spring festival? Maybe a flower festival?" (Lilian)
"..." (I)
I listen to Lilian and turn my head to the other side of the crowd that I was ignoring, that's because I thought it was a flower shop, only after listening to Lilian did I look better to realize that it was a crowd of men and women with flowers in their hands, some even had boxes of fancy gifts.
When I looked better there seemed to be someone among the flowers, but I wasn't able to see who it was, there was a whole garden of flowers around it making it difficult to see.
"..." (I)
Sigh
"Do you think..." (I)
"Where is Athena?" (I)
"She went looking for Loki to find out the reason for the fight going on there." (Lilian)
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI look where Lilian has pointed and see Athena walking back, I notice her face is a little flushed as she speeds back to us.
"That fight is going on between two friends, it looks like they both slept with the same woman and found out now." (Athena)
"Did you hear anything else in the crowd?" (I)
"..." (Athena)
"It seems that more than half of the Crowd knows the woman in question and they were talking about certain things... which I prefer not to think about too much... I'll just say that this woman is trying to stop the fight right now." (Athena)
I look at Athena and then at Lilian, it seems that Athena didn't notice anything, as her face is still red, she must be thinking about the things she heard, she is not very good with perverted things, but Lilian, like me, has already noticed what is happening.
"How should we approach them if they're surrounded like this?" (Lilian)
"I don't know, but I have other concerns at the moment." (I)
"Wait, you mean..." (Athena)
Listening to Lilian's words, I think Athena has finally connected the dots, she looks at the 3 parts of the crowd.
"I should have known that any kind of Saint draws a lot of attention, but these three Saints are off-limits category." (I)
We already knew that the Saint of the Goddess of Fertility had more than 10000 children, just counting her family which must include grandchildren and great-grandchildren we can assume that she could create a small nation with just her family.
We should have known that the other two saints would be just as outrageous as the Saint of Fertility, in my day I remember reading stories about the Saint of Love stopping wars just by having both armies fall in love with her.
The Saint of Pleasure, I remember we had a shelf full of books about all the Saints of Pleasure, my mother always forbade me to read those books saying they would stain my mind with filthy things, so I never read anything about it, but I can imagine how much damage this Saint could cause for the Church of Light to pay so much attention to her.
Sigh
"Let's get this over with." (I)
