Chapter 747: Skys Family (2/2)

---

While Janet and Nik made their way to the studio, nothing important happened out in the real world while Janet would find something online during the drive and describe the circumstances of either the model or the magazine itself. However, Nik had already begun another chat with Sky.

'Sky... I don't know if it's after obtaining an insight into the concept of wisdom or not... but do you remember? When we were in Glory City, you once mention that Kaal, Lucifer, and you visited the realm and the other two left offsprings behind, one of them being a black drake?'

'I do remember Lucifer and Kaal fighting for a lizard... they were going through a dangerous phase back then. Makes me shiver at the memory of those... dark moments. Get it?'

'Cause it was black?' Nik inquired.

'Yep!' Sky snickered.

'Anyway... since Kaal was so good at time manipulation and now I realize, he might be a great grandmaster or even more... in the concept of time. Is it possible that he had planned for me to get the Ravager Bloodline? Scales Beyond?'

'First, due to obvious reasons, I don't like the name of the bloodline at all,' Sky complained.

'Too bad,' Nik shrugged.

'Second, isn't the purification part of the bloodline the very reason why the temporal page was destroyed? I don't think Kaal would...' As Sky reached till this point, she went silent.

'Actually... that's a bit like Kaal. Alright, since I remembered something again, I'll let you know how the Temporal Fiend that shook Infernal and Holy Paradise alike came into contact with the Holy Paradise for the first time.

It was a warm summer evening—'

'Wait, are you really going to start from the surroundings?' Nik grumbled.

'It's called being a good storyteller. Now listen up. It was a warm summer evening. I was having a nice bath. Back then I had a humanoid physique and bathing is one of the luxuries of life... too bad you just purify yourself.'

'I don't think shitting can be considered a luxury, too. But I do enjoy bathing, yeah, so I understand...'

'Right.'

'Oh, and you can transfer the images of you bathing you know? It'll make you a better storyteller,' Nik persuaded with a smile.

'Hah, I would, if you would have passed the first test but you can't even get past Pure, much less Asmodeus and Lilith!' Sky mocked but Nik took no offense.

No amount of Tanya's baby pics could ever push Nik into the realm of Grandmaster in the concept of ice. Something he needed to actually pass Pure's test now he realized.

'Anyway, with the way Supreme was at the time, he would spend time training his first three children. Sadly, I wasn't one of them. You already know Lucifer, the second. The third was his twin sister Michael. Many actually still believe Lucifer to be the first but actually... the first to born from the same woman who gave birth to Lucifer and Michael was Samael...'

'Was?' Nik noted.

'Yeah... Micheal and Samael are still missing. Remember Adapt? I said that he's my brother-in-law, remember? He and Micheal were a thing...'

'So... was your sister hot?' Nik inquired, purely out of curious reasons.

'Let's just say that she wasn't into sexual pleasures as much as other Seraphims. She was strange that way... I know this on good record that she and Adapt never fucked. How crazy is that?!' Sky almost shouted.

'Oh... what about Kaal? How does he fit in the sibling relationship?'

'Well, one day, as I was enjoying my bath, our home planet was attacked. Well, attack is a strong word. It was accidentally caught in the middle of a fight... caused by Kaal. In reality, he had just made two rank seven hosts chumps. Their women had been left in... well, pools of infernal liquid. But there was just one problem. Ordinarily, the runes left to protect the planet by Supreme should have worked. However, one of the rank seven hosts had an artifact left in the past era.'

'The information and supernatural ability of that magic was something Supreme hadn't encountered previously, so the formation set up by him couldn't really amount to much. Of course, after that, Supreme took out both the chumps, and even went as far as to enslave their widows. Just the widows though. He had a 'bright' idea of opening a multiversal brothel...'

'Hey, I thought of it, too,' Nik mused.

'Yeah, it's not that great, actually. Why should you even share the women who are your enemies? Just keep everything for yourself!' Sky sighed.

'Geez, and I thought men are more possessive,' Nik smirked.

'Anyway, once Supreme found about Kaal, he went after Kaal, too. It was the first contact of Kaal and Supreme. Although they would end in positive terms later and then negative, even later, it couldn't be said for now. Supreme felt that he had killed Kaal but remember, one of the rank seven hosts had an artifact from previous era. He used one such artifact to elude Supreme.'

'Kaal's exact reason to target the two of the hosts was that he found out that the two men had struck a motherload of past era's artifacts. He then snuck into their harems and gave the two green hats in a way that made them fight each other... he was actually disguised as both of them...'

Sky then sighed.

'Anyway, I told you all of this because Kaal has done this in the past. Acting dead and reappearing once again. In fact, if you recall everything about him, this seems to be his modus operandi. So, if I were you, I would keep a healthy amount of skepticism that he's still out there...

And your luck showed it, right? Within the thundercloud of your ancestor's luck was Kaal's. He's surely somewhere and since it's unlucky for you, he must be planning something against you.'

'You know, Sky... I still can't believe that you're helping me when it comes to Kaal. Every rational thought dictates that I'm just a pig being fed till the point of butchering...' Nik revealed his deepest thoughts. His words making other spirits listening to them go silent but Sky could only laugh.

'Tell me about it... your father changed your memories, the world is after your soul, you don't know who your real mother is, and even your past incarnation is out there to get you. If you weren't even the slightest bit afraid, I would have actually admired your insanity. And yet I admire you for many other reasons. Your natural talent... and... well, I'll tell you the other aspect some other day.'

'If you can manage to keep trusting me till that long, I mean.'

Hearing Sky's playful words, Nik sighed, unconsciously slumping against the seat of the cab.

”Hmm? I didn't realize that my constant chatter is slightly bothering,” Janet smiled.

”No, it's not you,” Nik smiled, ”And yes, I think Stacey Specter is too 'blue' to make a good model. Although, I still don't understand what 'blue' means in this context.”

Seeing that Nik was really listening to whatever she was saying and not simply nodding for the sake of it, Janet blinked in surprise but she still scooched a little closer to Nik, her arm touching Nik every now and then while the subtle scent of her perfume finally filling Nik's senses more openly.

”This is what I meant by blue,” Janet began explaining her personal terms and approach when it came to modeling.

It was something entirely new to Nik, the way of modeling.
