29 The return to Sabasa Kingdom (1/2)

[Some moments later]

Solo and Sphinx appeared in another room, and sat somewhere, Sphinx walked over a big cushion while Solo was in a chair, and were looking at each other with a serious face.

Sphinx: I want explanations, dear. What have you become?

Solo: This… Is a long story, but I'll make it as short as possible. I'm an Hollow, precisely a subspecies of an Hollow, called Arrancar…

Then Solo explained everything about Hollows and Arrancars, not leaving even a single detail out, and revealing his Hollow Hole and shown her his broken mask, which was his white collar, and his rank as an Espada.

Sphinx listened to everything and had a sad expression from knowing what her husband suffered after his own death.

Solo: Now I have some questions too… First of all, I want to know if there are any methods of traveling in the space in this world.

Sphinx: Mh? Why are you asking this?

Solo: Because it's impossible for me being an Hollow in this world, and I am absolutely sure that Desgarron doesn't work here, the only method that I know that took me was throwing myself in the abyss of the Garganta.

Sphinx: I currently know about 3 of them… The first one is the Heaven's Gate, which is placed in the center of Sentora, and like the name suggests, it takes you to the heaven, where Illias lives.

The second one is called Tartarus, which is a portal that takes you in a mysterious place which no one knows, it sometimes appear in the middle of nowhere or in the mid of a town, but it is incredibly rare.

And the third… This is a bit special, because it was known only from someone from outside from this world, just like you, and that person called it Dangai…

Solo was shocked from the word she used and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle.

Solo: Dan...Gai…? What happened then?

Sphinx: From that tunnel, a woman appeared, and called herself a Bount, she had the ability to feed herself of souls, like the hollows you told me about, and she came in this world centuries ago.

Solo: Never heard of Bounts, anything else?

Sphinx: She was talking about falling in a random place, meaning that she shouldn't even be there, and some time later it was said that she became one of the strongest angels, a Seraph.

Solo: A seraph? Anything about her?

Sphinx: Yes, she is called Astra, and is currently the strongest Seraph existing, stronger than both the seraph Micaela and Babel, but still a lot weaker than Illias herself.

Solo: Nn, then about the Dangai?

Sphinx: It appeared two times… The first time was centuries ago, while the second was precisely around 50 years after you died, and that was created from a distortion from Tartarus and an unsuccessful experiment of Illias, it seems that there will never come anymore another Dangai.

Solo: ...Alright… Now I get it…

Sphinx: Get what?

Solo: I entered the Dangai that appeared a millennia ago… Then somehow managed to enter in the Living World of entirely another realm, and then I was took away from the hollows, becoming one myself… Now I have another question…

Then Solo smiled and asked.

Solo: What did I do while I was still alive?

Sphinx smiled at what he asked and with a soft voice she said.

Sphinx: Well, we first met…

Then Sphinx and Solo started to talk about the latter's past life, and laughed together, until Solo turned towards the door and said.

Solo: Well? Aren't you six going to join?

Sphinx: So you knew about them…

Then from the door, 6 figures entered, they were a mummy girl, a cobra girl, and 4 nefertiti lamia girls.

Mummy Girl: What are you doing in mistress' resting room?

Sphinx: Girls, I want to present you Solo Virtuta, previously the 1st King of Sabasa Kingdom and my dead husband.

Everyone Else: EHHH?!

After the girls sat somewhere and found out about Solo's circumstances, they listened to Sphinx's story and Solo's story in Hueco Mundo.

[5 days later]

Solo and Sphinx were in the same hall where they did the trial, Solo had a resolute face while Sphinx was a bit sad.

Sphinx: Are you sure about this…?

Solo: Yes, I still wish to see the world, I have new friends, and I have a little thing with Illias that I need to fix, but don't worry, I will visit you sometimes.

Sphinx: Nn, I just need to know that you are still alive… undead… Whatever.. You are still in this world, and this makes me really happy, still, take this with you, maybe one day it will be useful.

Then Sphinx gave Solo a yellow orb, before she talked about what it was and how it worked to him, so he knew what it was. He took it and smiled.

Solo: Thank you, Sphinx. Well, we will see each other another day, maybe soon or later.

Sphinx: Nn, bye Darling, and good luck with your journey.

Solo nodded and then vanished with a static noise, leaving Sphinx in her Pyramid while he traveled in air towards Sabasa Kingdom.

[an hour later]

Solo arrived at Sabasa Kingdom, and entered the Castle, when he was seen from the guards, they kneeled to him, making it a strange scene, and then remembered about his title as the first king.

Solo: Does someone know where the Hero Luka and Alice are?
