"A deal? Oh Laverna, let me tell you right now if you think I am going to betray the boy you are sorely mistaken."
"I don't want you to betray him. But if you could get him to talk to me so I can explain."
"Oh explain why you were planning on ripping his soul to shreds? I am sure that would go over well." I finished the last with an eye roll.
"I wasn't trying to rip his soul!"Laverna shouts.
"I saw the end of the attack I myself have used it plenty of times I know when someone is trying to rip apart a soul."
She stood there and narrowed her eyes at me.
"All I want is a talk thats it. Promise me that and I will tell you what you want to know and give you what you came for."
"I will ask him if he is willing. I will not force him to do anything (unless he owes me a favor)." I didn't say the last part out loud. It goes without saying gods need our favors to get things done.
"You are a goddess and you are going to ask for something!?" She shouts incredulously.
"You fool!"I am now upset and put power into my voice that makes both her and Pet shrink back in fear.
"Do you think I don't know how rare he is despite not knowing everything about him!? He is someone outside of fate. Nothing in his future is predictable. At the rate he is progressing he should be comparable to a demi-god before he is 20! There is a reason why people like him were killed repeatedly throughout time. Because if a god has the loyalty of one their strength would surge alongside them! And you decided to betray someone like that!? So yes I will ask him because while he may be a male he is still someone I can count on if the need arises so long as I hold his trust. Now my offer is I will ask him nothing more. Take it or leave it."
Laverna looked at me with a sad expression."Fine....But in a minute you will understand."
I doubt it but I motioned for her to start talking.

"Ash is far more special than even you realize. You may think of him as an ace in the hole but you couldn't be more wrong. Ash is a Joker with two queens by his side."
I looked at her in confusion.she gave me a smile and continued.
"Earlier this year Ash was headed home when he heard a scream...."
She then continued to tell me all about Ash's exploits up to my arrival. And I have to admit in a way she was right. I did somewhat understand.
I mean an Arch Angel who is the favorite sister of Morningstar and a 9 tailed fox assassin who has rained over the overworld and is famed as the Sunlight Killer!? And both of their souls are in Ash's!
Thats a bombshell I did not see coming. Also I am going to have to approach it right otherwise I could end up in the same situation as Laverna.
"I can't say you approached the situation right but you were right that they need to be separated. Two important figures to their respective gods that have quite a number of people looking for them is bad." I speak after a moment.
"So you see why I did what I did? Because of those two,two other gods now have the right to lay claim on him! Even with the fusion of souls Ash shouldn't have changed this much! Their teachings have turned him into a new player that all gods would want on their team."
"Oh they can try but if they dare I will make those two little bastards pay." I see Laverna flinch from the look on my face.
I will figure out a way to do this without betraying his trust.I promise myself.
"Well here is the Blood Fate Mirror it was damaged when you took over so you cant view through it anymore unless you get Ash to willingly give you blood. But you can communicate with him at least." She then hands the mirror over.
"To think you were the one who had this. Cthulhu is going to be pissed if he finds out you stole it from him." I raise my eye at her.
She snorts."Please if he didn't want it stolen he shouldn't have made it so easy to get into his treasury."

With a chuckle I grab Pet's leash and leave. With all I have found out today I need to make a few more preparations.
"*Sigh* This boy is the most complicated champion I have ever had. Although champion is probably not the right word. Hmmm maybe I should find a nice dress to tease him with when I next see him what do you think Pet?"
Pet turns to me with a shocked look."Are you serious? He is a fucking child you cradle robbing bitc-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
I grab the mirror with a huff and head through a portal toward my destination.
"Who asked you anyway?"
Pet gives me a wronged look.

Ash
I am lying on my couch after a long amount of gaming time. I am not even sure how much time has passed but the floor is covered in pizza boxes,different energy drinks, and chip bags.
Its been a long time since I had a session like that. Between Overwatch, Battleborn, KHUX, getting ready for the upcoming Pokemon tourney I was quite busy. Hell if you add in all the anime, light novels, and tv shows I literally used every second of the time being myself.
The girls complained for the first few hours or was it days? I am not totally sure....Do I have a problem?....Nah! How could something so enjoyable be a problem? In any case they have been oddly quiet and I havent heard them for a while. But who cares? My next match is starting up and my Galilea is far to op for these noobs to handle. She should probably be nerfed but for now I am enjoying the fun.
But then I am faced with my worst enemy.
The girls grab the curtains and ripped them open and the glaring sun hits my face. I put up my hands to protect myself and hiss in response.
The sun is a pure evil bastard always bright and annoying. It disturbs my sleep and hurts my eyes after gaming sessions. It was most definitely put in place for people who enjoy solitude to suffer. Why cant it be gloomy clouds all the time or better yet always dark?
"Did you seriously just hiss at the sun?" Inari asks.
"We are mortal enemies whats wrong with hissing at it?"I reply.
Alita and Inari share a look and hopelessness crosses their faces.
"Ash we are saying this for your own good. This life style is not healthy. Since you left your moms it has reached a whole new level that is worrying."Alita gently says.
"What? Its not like its that bad it was only like a day or two max."
"Try a week." They reply.
.........."Oh.".........
I scratch my head and look around sheepishly."Well I guess I could clean up a bit and I should probably see my family. Plus if its been that long I could head out and take down some assholes."
The girls give a sigh of relief. I guess I got a bit carried away. But who can blame me? I have so much to do and have no school or work who in their right mind would go looking for work on a normal basis? Every now and then I should head out anyway. Taking a look at my skin I think I could give Casper a run for his money at this point.
So I spend a few minutes cleaning up and then get ready to head down to moms resturant for some lunch. As I am walking down the road with my nemisis glaring down at me I hear an unexpected voice.
"Hello Ash."
"Wait holy shit Rhea? I didn't call or pray to you so how are you talking to me?"
The girls hearing this hide in my soul and start looking for anything attached to me that we may have missed.
"I have my ways I am a goddess you know?"
Right and while that may be the case I don't like you have direct access to me. Of course I dont speak this to her. While I may somewhat trust her this is a bit much.
"So what is it Rhea."I say flatly
"Now there is no need for the tone. This is something that lets me communicate with you not watch you."
I sigh in relief and so do the girls.
"As for why I called well remember my favor?"
"Aw fuck."

Crap I screwed up when numbering these things I will go back and fix now. Ok should be fixed now and Yay over 2500 views!
