Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

"Sene?" She called, touching my cheeks; her eyes grew cloudy in an instant, but even with her murky eyes clouded by haze, it could not hide the surprise. Confused by what had happened, she took hold of Little Typhoeus and gasped as well. "She has it too."

"Mama? What happened?" Questioned Ty, glancing up at me with large beady eyes, wet with confusion.

Narrowing my brow, I took a deep breath and relaxed my body. Allowing whatever force that had seized me to fade, I slowly regained control of my body.

"How do you feel?" Said Lilith, softly glancing around suspiciously at the wondering eyes of strangers. Noticing a few hateful eyes, she pulled me along with Ty and Arkanos back into the meeting room.

"What is going on?" I asked, not feeling that much different.

Lilith smiled and lifted her finger, which slowly but surely released a powerful sword intent. Piercing her swordlike finger towards my shoulder, I was about to dodge, but I could not help but be curious by her action.

Piercing through my shoulder, I felt a sharp stinging sensation, but there was no shooting pain, no blood. In fact, I could not feel anything. Taken back, I glanced down to see a misty substance oozing out from my shoulder as though it were blood.

"Amazing!" Said Aegis, baffled. "How do you have that? And why is it passively on you?"

Tracing my finger over my wound, which had already begun to fade, Lilith lifted her emerald eyes towards me. "You like?"

"Was it my adaptation?" I asked, hoping for an answer, but Lilith shrugged and glanced down at Ty, looking up waiting for answers. "She has it too, doesn\'t she?"

"This is what we who carry the Right of Princes and Monarchs call the Void of Shadows. Think of it as a single life-saving Arte. It will act almost like a sacrificial lamb by absorbing all foreign energy directed at you. However, such a powerful Arte usually requires a massive amount of Divinity and time to use." Said Aegis sharply.

Running my finger over my shoulder, I chuckled. "If it was, my adaption changed this Arte. If Ty now has this, then that means this could be a part of the Shadowfell Lineage. I wonder what the upper limit is. Since it\'s a part of my body now permanently, how many charges do I have?"

"Guess we will find out. When I push you into danger." Said Lilith sweetly, patting my shoulder. She smiled, releasing a cute giggle, "If you die, it means you are out of charges."

"That works the same for you. Your bitch ass can time travel out of danger. Push me. I push you back."

"And there lies the beauty of Time Travel. I know exactly what you will do. SO bring it." She challenged, shooting me a competitive smile.

"So Ty has an extra life?" The young dragon chimed in with bright eyes glistering like the stars. "Oh, Boy! Papa! Can Ty blow herself up and still live?!"

"um, Ummm!" Lost for words, both Lilith and I placed our hands over the suicidal dragon. "No! Anything but that, OK! Even if you have an extra life, please don\'t blow yourself up under any circumstances. Till we test it on some dummy."

"Ty GOES, BOOOM!" She cheered, arching her small hands high, "ROAR!!!!! Says Dragon Ty!"

Racing out our Arms Ty began roaring like a mini dragon in her childish form.

"My God, she is cute." I cried, shaking my head.

"But if your race could do that, without any components to pay, and still be at full power, I will say you will be able to start training some almighty techniques without your Royal Domain." Lilith softly informed, and I could not agree more.

Touching my chin, I chuckled at the possibility. That means I can be a bit more reckless. Ever since my sins grew stronger, I knew I have been acting a bit differently. This Body of Shadow... no, Blood of Shadows, truly allows me to live under my more foolish but justified actions. Then it\'s a win-win for me.

BOOOOM!!!

Barging into the meeting room, I instantly pointed towards Lilith, already knowing what this was about. "That\'s her, officer! The woman who attacked that poor man! I caught her for you!"

"You bastard!" Lilith howled, but I merely turned my cheek just as God insisted upon and pretended not to hear anything. I then beckoned to the kids.

"Come, mommy got caught," I remarked, patting their adorable heads who held expressions that simply couldn\'t grasp what just happened.

Strolling past the guards of the Branch Family of the Holy Swords without a care in the world. I made my way out with a joyous smile on my face. I needed this. Lilith will be fine. She can teleport and do all this other broken shit. She is good! I hope.

Hearing the grinding of her teeth, I patted Ty\'s head, "Take me to Talgor. I have a plan on killing this foolish man that Kurt seems to be so infatuated with.

Taking a whiff of the air, Ty nodded," Follow Ty!"

Racing ahead of me, I lifted Arkanos, who was looking back at the angry demon be locked away.

Come on, Arkanos. Don\'t look." I hastily said, covering her eyes, and ran away with a set of two dark eyes locked on me.

Claiming my sweet victory over Lilith without a hint of shame. I followed after Ty, who did not take long to locate the Lobsterman. Covered in documents, he lifted his round eyes towards me, fluttering his five tentacles over his lips.

"Lord Kingsly called." He darkly muttered. "And I was just informed your wife assaulted someone? Are you two on drugs? What is wrong with you all?"

"Now that is the question, isn\'t it?"
