In the throne room of the Great Tomb of Nazarick stood Albedo a succubus garbed in a white flowing dress. She had flowing raven black hair, dark feathered wings at her waist and curved ivory colored horns protruding from her head. "How long has it been…", she thought to herself. It feels like an eternity since her silent vigil began and her last orders from the supreme ones rang through her mind.
Return to your duties, guard this Tomb, await further instructions and do not disappoint us again…
The last phrase rang through her head like the peal of a great bell sentencing her to doom.
Do not disappoint us again…
The succubus sighed thinking only of the return of the supreme ones and the chance to cleanse the stain of the great betrayal. Idly she thought can this sin even be forgiven, to betray the supreme ones is already inconceivable, but to steal one of the great relics and seal off a world? That is the definition of heresy. If only she could get her hands on that scum…
As Albedo stood and ruminated on the wrongs of the past her thoughts were interrupted by a great roar of energy manifesting in front of the throne of kings. There appeared a warping hole in reality crackling with energy. From that portal strode a small diminutive figure, the figure has about 1.4 meters tall and looking for all intents and purposes a young preteen girl. However what she wore betrayed the fact that she was no simple girl. She wore a grey military uniform with a trench coat over the base layer of clothing similar in style of another guardian that Albedo knew Pandora's actor. She had peaked cap with the emblem of Ainz Ooal Gown in the center and on the left breast of the trench coat there it was sewn the emblem of Momonga. She also had a slew of small knives strapped to her belt and what looks like a small crossbow strapped to her wrist. She had heterochromic eyes one with an iris as black as obsidian and the other was a glowing gold iris that seemed to hum with power. Her hair was short shoulder length golden blonde hair that was neatly groomed.
Her gaze locked onto Albedo and she said "Gather all the level and area guardians here in 1 hour. The Supreme Ones have words for you all." At the sound of these words Albedo's spirit rejoiced. Finally the hour was at hand, the time when the supreme ones would return. "Are the supreme ones really returning?" Albedo asked. She clutched her chest as tears welled up in her eyes. The figure didn't answer instead she handed a ring to Albedo. It was the ring of Ainz Ooal Gown an accessory only granted to the Supreme Beings. "Use this to retrieve Pandora's Actor from the treasury." the figure said. Albedo gazed at the ring in her palm in shock and exclaimed, " How can I accept this? This is a ring only granted to the Supreme Ones!" The figure simply looked at her and said "1 hour". She then turned around and walked back in the portal.
As the Portal closed behind her Albedo simply stood there stunned at this turn of events. After a few moments she immediately started to message all related guardians to meet her in the throne room. "The supreme ones are returning in 1 hour report to the throne room". To say there was a confusion and a mad scramble to reach the throne room would be understating the gravity of the situation. Needless to say guardians were gathered in throne room shortly.
"What's happening are the Supreme Ones really returning?" Aura exclaimed as she burst into the throne room. "How did you know they are coming back! Is Bukubuku Chagama sama coming?" Aura cried as tears ran down her cheeks. "Aura sama please calm down…" Sebas tried to say. "ALBEDO how did you know?" Aura shouted. "Onesan please…" Mare whimpered. "Aura sama please calm down I think Mare sama is struggling to breathe…" Sebas said calmly with a frown. Aura looked down and realised she was grabbing the back of Mare's collar while flailing and shouting. "Aura why did you run here while dragging Mare behind you." Cocytus rumbled. "Well… he was running too slowly…" Aura stammered out.
"Albedo sama where did you get the news that the supreme ones are returning?" Sebas calmly asked. While appearing calm a more astute observer would notice how his fist were trembling and the quiver on his lips. "A figure about the size of Aura here appeared in front of the throne room and said the supreme ones were returning" Albedo simply said. "Finally my atonement begins…" Demiurge whispered. "Yes. Yes it does" Albedo snapped. "Albedo what Jaldaboath did has nothing to do with Demiurge. He was the first to report it and he worked the hardest among us to catch him." Shalltear chastised. "Yeah, I don't think it's Demiurge's fault either…" Mare whispered. "ENOUGH! It is because of his accursed brother that we have been alone for so long. No Supreme Ones, No orders, Nothing but shame and the echo of failure to remind us of his folly these many years." Albedo snapped. The throne hall fell silent as the great shame was once again brought into the forefront of everyone's minds. "Everyone I am truly sorry for what my brother did...I would die a thousand deaths if it would make amends." Demiurge whispered. "You are too hard on yourself Herr Demiurge." Pandora's Actor said as he placed his hand on Demiurge's shoulder. "Not hard enough…" Albedo hissed.
"How did you find out about this?" Cocytus began trying to change the conversation into something more productive. Albedo sighed and said "A figure appeared next to the throne through a portal. Not the kind of Portal Shalltear can cast it was stronger more potent. It seemed to tear a hole into reality itself. On its garb were the sigils of the Ainz Ooal Gown and the great Momonga." " Could it have been an intruder Frau Albedo" Pandora's actor said. "It might have been an insurgent intent on infiltrating the tomb." " No, she gave the ring of Ainz Ooal Gown that allowed me to take you from the treasury and she was powerful. I could sense as much. Probably stronger than any of us here." Albedo said. "But how could you be sure? It could be a trick to make us leave our posts." Demiurge said. "I am the guardian overseer of this Tomb and I don't want to be second guessed by the likes of you Demiurge." Albedo snapped
"Are you all quite done?"
The guardians rounded and looked at the small figure standing next to the throne. Next to the figure was a whorling portal. " supreme ones are waiting" The figure said simply. The guardians mutely watched stock still as they looked at the small figure. No one moved a muscle as they all wondered how they did not detect this being who is standing but a few scant meters from them.
ENTER!
The figure boomed. All the Guardians felt the voice pound right into the depths of their souls, they felt a pressure radiate from the figure. It was a presence they felt before. It was the uncompromising aura of Momonga the leader of the 41 Supreme Beings and the guild master of Ainz Ooal Gown. The guardians mutely began walking towards to the portal. All suspicious gone as they felt the aura of the most supreme with their souls. As the last of the guardians entered the portal. The figure sighed and turned to the portal and said...
So it begins...
