LUCKY! That's a god. ”Come down here, I have to talk to you.”
”VILE DEMON CREATURE, BE GONE!”Another flash of light and the ground around me is burned and turns black from the heat. Had I not countered the spell by forcefully emitting my mana through my aura, I would have been roasted!
The god didn't have any problems with my aura pressing down on him. But the archer is twitching on the ground and has foam at his mouth. Wizard girl and priestess are also panting on the ground like the gravity would be too much for them. As magic users, they are taking it better.
Poor mortals. ”Come down here stupid god! I have to talk to you! Or do I have to destroy this world, just to tell you a few words? And switch off this stupid light-show! That's outdated!”
I wave a fist at the idiot.
The figure of light descents to the ground and dims down to reasonable levels. Seems like he realized that I am a god too. Took him long enough.
”What's a fellow god doing here? This is my world. Why are you stirring up trouble?” The wiry guy asks.
”I need you to give the Council a message. Fendulf, I assume?” -Me
Fendulf nods. ”Why don't you give this message to the Council yourself?”
”Because I don't like to walk into the enemy's territory. And for the message, tell them greetings from the void. We will soon visit them in their heavenly city. And then we will have a nice talk with them.” I smile at Fendulf.
He looks at me with question marks above his head.
”Ah. And could you also spread the word to everyone who doesn't want to get involved in the Council's business! They should stay away and keep their heads down.” -Me
”You aren't planning something stupid like a rebellion are you?” -Fendulf
”Count your ass on it! The final days of the Council are close and it's in their hands to choose if this will be ugly or not.” I wave at Fendulf and then at the mortals, who are looking at me like the harbinger of the end.
To them this conversation must have sounded like hell just declared war on heaven.
I turn around and step onto a path which takes me home again.
Back at home I start to sort my equipment. It's important to have an orderly laboratory. Order and cleanliness are the most important things in a workplace.
Hmm.. I think I forgot something. Didn't Celes tell me to …..
AH!
I forgot to get Seria and Aengus! They are still at Margerie's mansion! I am a sore excuse as a father! Forgetting my children at a friend's place!
Teleporting, I reappear inside Margerie's home. After a few seconds, I found an employee who leads me to the living room.
Inside are Seria and Aengus, together with Sandra's children. They are on top of Tanja, who looks like a slain animal while she is lying on the ground.
”I will never have children.... this is hell.....” Tanja complains with dead eyes, while she is looking at the ceiling.
Sven is crouching down in a corner and mutters something incomprehensible to himself. Margerie is lying on a couch. Seems like she passed out on the spot.
Sandra jumps out of a chair when she sees me. ”Our saviour! I am so glad that you are back!” She runs to me and hugs me.
”What's going on?” I ask with a confused voice while I pat her shoulders.
”They don't sleep! First we lost Margerie, then Sven had a talk with Seria and since then he is looming in the corner. I don't know what she said to him. Afterwards they banded together and took out Tanja!” Sandra has tears in her eyes.
”Looks like your children and mine are an explosive combination?” I walk over to the kids.
”Daddy! We had so much fun! Can we come here to play every day?” Seria jumps on top of Tanja while she smiles at me.
”Don't use my intelligence officer as a trampoline! And why didn't you go to sleep like they told you?” I ask with a strict voice.
Before they were dropped off by us, we instructed them to behave. Which they obviously did not!
”But we never had so many people to play with! How can you ask of us to sleep at such a moment!” Aengus pokes Tanja, who doesn't even flinch.
I sigh and grab Seria and Aengus to take them home.
