Chapter 9 woot woot!
Stone upon the ground, a horseman was laying. Dead to his siblings, dead to his love, dead to the world. This had been part of Death's plan because of his creation, the Abominations. In order for the Abominations to live and roam again, they needed ravaiim blood in their veins. Death had gathered all of the blood and condensed it into a cylinder then made several cylinders that looked just like it. He told Azrael and War that he would stay with a decoy cylinder while Azrael would take most of his angels with a second decoy while War would carry the real cylinder to outmaneuver their enemy. Unbeknownst to Azrael, or War himself, Death had sent the younger Horseman with a decoy while he himself carried the true ravaiim blood. In this way, he ensured that he would be able to depart with the ravaiim blood freely though all but guaranteeing his brother's demise. Once Death had been rid of the blood through a portal into oblivion, the horseman immediately returned to the ravaiim homeworld once more in the hopes of saving his brother. He spent days with Dust and Despair scouring the plains for War. When Death found him, the younger horseman was already dead. However, Death stabbed himself with War's soul bound sword, Chaoseater, allowing it to feed off the violence and pain of the act, and used the spark of War's life lingering in the blade combined with his own necromantic powers to revive his brother. He lied to War, telling him that he had stolen back the ravaiim blood after the enemy took it and destroyed it. Death was consumed by guilt at his actions that led to War's death and his own inability to tell his brother the truth afterwards.
Though back in the world where Myst and Kaita were, Kaita had gone into a deep depression. She had herself in a corner away from everyone, though Myst was there keeping her little sister from killing herself. The other two horsemen had gone off on the council's orders when they felt the spark of life from War, feeling awful at their inability to return and tell Kaita the good news. Supplies were beginning to run low in War and Kaita's home, so Myst approached her sister about the issue. "Hey, baby girl, Ive gotta run home and grab some things. Do you think you'll be alright?"
Kaita looked up with her emotionless eyes then gasped in pain and put her hand on her swollen stomach. "M-Mystie…" Myst took a step back in horror thinking that her sister was going into labour after a short 8 months before quickly scooping her sister up who was beginning to cry from pain. Myst carefully set her sister down on her bed and went to grab some water and blankets, hearing her sister wail in pain made her shake and work faster. After an hour of blood and pained screams, the child still hadn't been conceived and that was worrying to Myst. She knew nothing about child birth and her sister was incoherent at that moment.
Kaita screamed once more and reached out to grip her sister's hand. "M-Mys-st, y-you need to calm down. It is a-alright." Her breath hitched and she cried out again, her grip almost breaking Myst's hand. Using her magic, Myst began to numb anything that she could to help her sister. With another pained gasp, Myst knew that she had begun to give birth. After another few hours, Myst had finally cleaned up and Kaita was holding a large baby in her arms, a little baby girl that had a tuff of snow white hair on her head and her eyes were already open, squeals of a happy baby filling the room indicated that for a nephillim, 9 months pregnant was likely very late. The baby also had a birth mark like what Kaita and Myst had except it was in the same trident shape as the scar on War's face and was on her hip. After a week of catering to her sister and little niece's needs, Myst was exhausted and more than happy to see Strife and Fury approach the home.
"Myst, we need to talk to you." Fury had a serious look on her face.
Myst sighed tiredly and looked up. "If Death died, I wasn't in love so I don't care." she felt a twinge of pain in her chest but ignored it.
"By the nine hells, that is cruel." Strife butted in and glared at Myst through his own mask. "And you're lying!"
Myst turned a bright shade of red and Fury smacked her brother. "Thats not why we are here. War has been revived."
Myst froze and stared at the two horseman then looked bad in the house to where the open door was. "Not dead, thats wonderful, but Kaita just conceived. It would be awesome to tell her, but…" Myst looked down knowing that she likely sounded selfish.
Fury put a hand on Myst's shoulder. "She loves War and War loves her and will love his child. You must tell Kaita and perhaps War will explain himself to his wife when he returns." The two horsemen got on their horse's and rode away leaving Myst with a sour face.
"You two left me to tell my sister that her first love isn't dead? After she had a baby? And you call me cruel." Myst grumbled to herself as she wandered back inside.
/Line Break/
Lorelei, that was what Kaita called her daughter and it fit the little monster perfectly. Myst was fed up with a child who was crawling underneath impossible places at two months, though Kaita loved her little girl. Myst had yet to tell Kaita about War after all this time feeling unsure of how to tell her.
"Gotcha, you little demon!" Myst cheered as she hoisted her niece in the air, who squealed and wriggled her beefy arms and legs happily. "Auntie Mystie is gonna eat you up now!" Myst heard Kaita laugh at what she said as her daughter was tickled by her aunt. Once the little baby was back in her mother's arms though she was quiet and falling asleep.
"Ah, I don't know how you do it." Kaita sighed as she rocked her little bundle in her arms.
"It's called mesmerism. I have something important to tell you, Kaita." Kaita looked up at Myst, confused by the sudden seriousness.
"Is Death dead? Im so sorry, I know you must've loved him-" Myst yelled and cut off her little sister.
"I am not in love with Death and he is still alive as far as I know, it is War who I am trying to talk to you about." Kaita went blank and looked down at her child. "War isn't dead, he was revived somehow."
Kaita looked back up at her sister. "What? Y-you can't be serious, just because you have lost something doesn't mean you have to make me feel like shit for it!" Kaita shouted angrily, making Lorelei cry.
"Im not lying, Death isn't dead and neither is War. Strife and Fury came by to tell me, just so I could tell you." Myst had stood up and was glaring at her sister in returned anger, then reached down and snatched Lorelei from Kaita's arms and dashed out the door. Kaita yelled in fear and anger as the door shut behind Myst who was just upset at her sister's outbreak and her sweet little niece being upset. "Hush hush, spawn of War." Surprisingly, Lorelei stopped crying and looked up at Myst with her big silvery blue eyes that Myst recognized to be the same as War's, then huffed as if understanding what was wrong. The baby cooed at her but didn't fuss in her aunts arms as Myst watched the horizon with her niece.
Kaita opened the door and yelled out. "Myst! Bring back Lorelei!" she sounded upset at her sister but wasn't going to make a mistake of actually upsetting her. Myst looked over her shoulder than back at the horizon as she turned. She did a double take then stared at the horizon then grinned and giggled. She sprinted back to Kaita and pushed her sister over onto the couch. The door opened a minute after and War stepped in the door to stare at Kaita on the couch then looked at Myst.
He tilted his head "I didn't know that you and Death were having that kind of relationship." War stared at Lorelei in Myst's arms.
"She isn't my baby!" Myst screamed and shoved his child back into Kaita's arms. "Get your ass in here so I can kick it for making my sister cry!" War's eyes nearly bulged out of his head as he dashed from the front door to get away from the angry and wrathful Mystiria.
"Death! Get your woman away from me!"
"Im not his woman!"
Death watched War practically hop and skip around to avoid Myst and her angry magic bolts then sighed. "That's one reason to love her."
