[ More Blood & Gore! ]
”I'm going to ask you something and I want you to answer honestly...” Luther looked serious again..
”What is it...?” Ivery asked
...
”Are you from another world?” Luther looked straight into Ivery's eyes...

Loki was frozen solid, he was as stiff as a statue, ready to crumble....
How the hell did this demon prince figure out that Ivery isn't from this world!?
.....
”What?” Ivery thought she heard him wrong
”Are you from another world?” Luther asked again
”Why..would you think that?” Ivery didn't know how to respond to him, did he really figure out that she wasn't born in this world?
”I saw..strange memories other than you living Hollow's Castle...” Luther said
”And what if I am from another world..?” Ivery didn't know what he was going to do next...would he kill her after finding out that she really isn't Princess Inanna?
”If you are from another world...” Luther looked into Ivery's eyes
”Then tell me how you inhabited this girl's body...” Luther sat down on a wooden log and patted the other wooden log next to him, gesturing for her to sit
”You mean Inanna..” Ivery noticed that he didn't say Inanna's name...
”If you're someone else from another world, I never met Inanna, and that would mean..your name isn't 'Inanna'...” Luther smiled and continued to pat the log next to him
Ivery blushed, in a way...it seemed as if he was trying to reassure her about something...
She sat down next to him and told him the truth...
”It's just as you said, I'm not from this world” Ivery bravely admitted
”Ivery! Why would you tell him!?” Loki ran over and hopped on Ivery's lap
”Ivery?...Is that your real name?” Luther asked her
”Uh, yeah...it is” Ivery nodded
”I see...” Luther looked as if he was pondering about something
”So, tell me about how and why you're here?” Luther was intrigued by this situation
....
Ivery wasn't too sure she should tell him that he is a fictional character in a book....so she decided to leave it out....
”This lady, no...a-a...Goddess...she came to me when I was sleeping in my room..she told me to change Princess Inanna's fate..” Ivery started off
”Change her fate? For what?” Luther asked
”....” Luther had no words to say, he didn't feel pity for the previous Inanna...but since Ivery is now Inanna...he felt his chest tighten just thinking about Ivery dying made him feel frustrated..
”And then..?” Luther wanted to know more
”After the Goddess told me to change Inanna's fate, I woke up in that room in the Hollow's Castle and that's where I met Loki..” Ivery rubbed Loki's head
”And that's why you're here? What happens if you do change her fate?” Luther wondered what would happen if she did finish what she came here for
”I was told I could go back to my world” Ivery answered
”Do you have to go back...?” Luther's face turned a dark shade...was she going to really leave him..?
”I mean...it's my world..” Ivery felt sad telling Luther all of this
”What would happen to Inanna's body after you go back to your original world?” Luther was hoping she wouldn't say what he thought she was going to say
”Inanna would return to her own body and do what she was destined to do...” A voice sounded behind them
They both were alarmed by the voice and turned around...
”It's you!” Ivery's eyes widened
”Hello Ivery..” Hecate smiled
”W-Why are you here?” Ivery asked
”We're both here..” A deep voice said
”Hades...” Luther looked at the God cloaked in black
”We're here to clarify something to the both of you..” Hecate floated down to the ground
”Luther come over here with me” Hecate floated away into the forest
Luther shrugged and got up from the log he was seated on and followed Hecate into the forest...
.....
”Now that you know the truth about Ivery...I'll tell you the full truth..” Hecate looked down at Luther
”Go ahead” Luther was all ears
.
.
”It is true that I brought Ivery here to change Inanna's fate, but there was an unknown price she had to pay...” Hecate said
”A price?” Luther didn't know what she meant
”An infant cannot contain the power of a Infinite attribute...if I had gifted Inanna the full power of her infinite attribute then...she would've undoubtedly died from the overwhelming power..” Hecate told Luther
”But Empress Cassandra couldn't detect the smallest fragment of Golden Infinity and sent Inanna to the Hollow's Castle according to the Emperor's decree, Inanna suffered as a Hollow's Castle child, since the full power of her Infinite attribute was able to be unlocked when she turned twenty...but that went over the age of execution for the Emperor's decree..” Hecate looked saddened
”What age was she when she died?” Luther asked
”Thirteen..” Hecate answered his question
”I see...so, what was the unknown price you were talking about before...?” Luther raised an eyebrow
”Since I had enabled her infinite attribute earlier than required...she can no longer return to her world..” Hecate said
”She can't go back..” Luther tried to fight a smile from appearing on his face..
”That is correct” Hecate nodded
”So, technically speaking...she's not really changing Inanna's fate...she's living as Inanna and making a new one?” Luther thought about it...and Ivery won't be happy about this when she finds out about her current predicament
”Precisely..I didn't intend on having Ivery change Princess Inanna's fate...I just wanted her to have her own fate...a better life than the one she lived before..” Hecate frowned
”What do you mean?” Luther didn't understand
”That girl...Ivery, her biological mother died and her father filled with depression over the loss of Ivery's mother and he became mentally ill and he was ultimately sent to a prison for hitting Ivery everyday because she reminded him of his wife....and at the age of nine she was put into a foster home and when she was ten she was adopted and ended up being put in a terrible family, they mistreated her and underfed her...her sisters tormented her at home and outside...” Hecate said
”Something good finally happened to her when she was accepted into a special school where she could live there, away from her adoptive family. She moved into her room there and had a good start and she finally felt freed from them...until her sisters also enrolled in the same school and ended up sharing a room with her.”
”Her sisters continued to harass her and even ruined her reputation at the school by spreading deceitful lies about her, she was then shunned and oppressed by her peers at the school...they physically and mentally hurt her no matter where she went....she was soon told that she would have to leave the school because of the lies said about her”
”That's when I intervened and gave her the information she needed, to know what happened to Inanna so she could have a new life...she believes it was just a book she found, but I wrote a portion of what Inanna's life was and dropped it down into her world for her to find...and when she finally read it..that's when everything was set into motion..” Hecate clapped her hands together and a light flash blinded Luther
....
All of the memories of Ivery flooded into his brain, even the memories she didn't remember herself....he now knew everything. He felt tense now knowing the truth about Ivery, and he knew what he learned today...was all confidential..
”Luther Vandell...I need you to protect Ivery at all costs, guide her, be her strength...I want you to be her strongest ally..” Hecate hoped Luther would agree to this request of hers..
”I'll be more than just her protector, her guide, her strength, and her ally...I'm going to be her husband...and I'll do what every single one of her family member's couldn't, even the ones she has now..” Luther wasn't going to let her be hurt anymore, the last thing he wanted was to see her cry, no one will ridicule her anymore in this life or the next or the next...he'll make sure to be reincarnated at her side so she doesn't have to suffer again...
”It seems you're not so bad after all, Luther” Hecate smiled at this boy
.
.
”Can you do me a favor...?” Luther smiled at Hecate
”What is your request?” Hecate asked
”It it possible for you to take me to Ivery's adoptive family...?” Luther devilishly smirked
”I see...it shall be done...” Hecate clapped her hands together again and a bright purple light flashed
”You have exactly an hour to do what you want, and then I will bring you back...” Hecate's voice echoed within the light
.

Luther opened his eyes and he was in what appeared like a dining room...
....
”Who the hell are you?” A long red haired girl..no older than twenty stood in front of Luther
”Do you know..Ivery?” Luther smiled at her
”....” She took a minute and her eyes enlarged when she looked at Luther's impeccable face...
”Y-Yes...” She blushed
”Who is she to you?” Luther asked
”I guess you could say she's a long lost sister, if you're looking for her then don't bother...she skipped town” The girl smirked
”Where is the rest of your family?” Luther asked
