Hey, you all. Forgive me for my late arrival yet again. It's began to feel like this adventure is like writing a movie script. I wish I could play the music I have for certain moments in the story. BTW, anyone getting the new Marvel Vs Capcom: Infinite? Im excited to see the new Morrigan and Jedah. Anyway, I'll be writing the next chapter as you read this one. Enjoy!
42: A God Amongst Gods
I stepped into our room of Morrigans ancient home. I shut down my armor and it retracted into my wristbands. I threw myself on the bed and stared at the ceiling, exhausted. Morrigan sat down beside me.
"Tired much?" Morrigan asked.
"Sort of" I replied.
"Well if you're not too exhausted, I can take us to the pool, I have something hot for you" she said with a smile.
A grin spread across my face. I couldn't help but to think nasty. I scooted over and rested my head on her lap.
"Let's go then" I said.
She smiled and shook her head. "So eager. The cabinet are coming along also"
My grin faded a bit. "Ah, alright"
Morrigan chuckled. "Yeah, we'll hang with them and then I'll see what I can do about your tenseness, muscleman" she said as she squeezed my biceps.
I laughed. "Sounds good to me"
^V^
I walked beside Morrigan as we headed to the far side of the castle.
It was so dim in the long hallways that it bothered me. Like everything was half lit and I wanted it fully brightened. Her castle was like a maze. I could easily get lost if I was alone.
"Bae, how do you know you're way around here?"
"That's not a smart question to ask, you know I've-"
Her sentence was cut short when I lifted her by her arms. She screamed playfully as I put her against the wall.
I looked at her in her eyes.
"I know you wasn't just talking to me like that just now right?"
Morrigans eyes slowly turned violet, she bit her lower lip and shook her head.
I stared deep in her eyes. Her gaze was sort of different this time. She held on to my arms firmly.
I think I must've turned her on
I slowly let her down.
"Then let's go, before I take your ass back in the room"
A smirk grew on her face from my statement. "We have to go back there sooner or later" she said, licking her lips.
"I know, I wish it could be right now but let's get to where we're going"
Morrigans eyes slowly returned to their normal color. She placed her hair behind her shoulders and took my hand. We continued to walk down the dim halls. "We'd have been there already-"
"But your mouth stopped us" I said cutting her off.
She looked at me and smiled. "Ohh hush, you don't complain about it when you're inside it. Don't say anything now"
"Are we there yet?" I asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yes babe, we're here" she replied.
She lead me to a door around the corner. She opened it and light immediately filled my pupils. We entered a large room. In front of us was an oval shaped pool. Lights from inside the pool made it appear as if the water was glowing a blue color. The sides of the room had bleacher seats aligned the walls. I looked at the ceiling to see the sky above us.
It feels nice to live in royalty
"We won't be in here too much, behind that door is where we're going" Morrigan said pointing to my right.
There was staircase right beside me that led to a closed door.
"Nice. Where's the gang though?" I asked.
"I was going to get them now, but first, take this" Morrigan summoned me a pair of navy blue shorts into her hands. "I'll be right back"
I took the shorts and stared at them.
"Morri, I think you hit jackpot with these" I said in appreciation.
"You thought I wouldn't know your size?" Morrigan said with a wink.
She extended her arm to the side of her and from her hand a portal appeared.
"Freak" I replied, smiling.
She grinned and entered the portal.
So this is most likely why she wanted to shower so early.
I went to the bleachers and undressed. I put on the shorts which turned out to be as comfy as expected. I looked over at the deep end and automatically spotted the diving board.
...
On the board, I took a few leaps before launching into the air. Seconds after, I felt myself crash into the water. I swam as low as I could go and propelled myself towards the shallow end. Suddenly, I noticed a pinkish light hit the water as I swam. I looked ahead to see people in a huddle, talking.
The girls
I reached the other end and chose to try something. I powered on my morphonite and summoned my leg armor only. I used my thruster to give me a boost. I hit a good speed and then flew out the water. The girls flinched as water pellets fell on them. I hit a back flip and landed safely on my feet. I noticed the girls already had on their bikinis and swim suits. I didn't see Morrigan anywhere.
"Well hello" Rochella stated.
"Hey, my beautiful knights" I said. I spread my arms out.
The girls all came and hugged me.
"Where's Morrigan?" I asked.
All the girls seemed to have their eyes on something behind me. I turned and there was Morrigan walking towards me in a bikini.
She had her head down, with her hands gripping the the sides of her panties. She looked up and smiled.
"Like whatcha see?" She asked.
"Hell yeah" I replied.
"Before you two get in the mood, lets play a game of tips" Nina said.
"Good idea" Julia stated.
Akena walked past the girls as she held the volleyball.
"Last one in the pools Demitri's slave!" Akena said as she quickly splashed into the water.
The girls immediately screamed, pushing each other as they hurled towards the pool. They all dived in, splashing water in all directions. I looked over to my right to see that green haired girl still standing staring at me.
"We both know who's slaves we are right?" she asked.
"Your mine, and I'm yours" I said with a smirk.
Morrigan smiled. "Your still going to be the last one out!" she ran for the pool.
I quickly grabbed her before she got far. She screamed as I took us into the air. She held on to me tightly until we slammed into the pool creating a gigantic splash.
"C'mon! Let's start this game you brats!" Amy yelled. Amy then tackled Akena for the ball sending them underwater.
...
We all eventually formed a circle. Amy served the ball and it went towards Rochella. She sent it towards Morrigan. Morrigan one handed it towards me. I head-bumped it. It went high in the air and descended to Amy. Amy punched it sending it speeding to Julia. Julia looked focused on the object flying her way. She suddenly did an abnormally fast spin which caused a water tornado to be created around her. The ball flew into the tornado, and spun out. We could only watch as it flew past all of us.
"Ughk!" Luciens voice made us all freeze.
We watched as the ball hit the floor at Mudo & Lucien's feet.
Lucien rubbed the side of his head.
"Excuse us, Lady Morrigan, Lord Lovell, Belial has requested to see you my Lord"
Morrigan and I exchanged glances. Morrigan moved through the water and came by my side.
"Give us five minutes" she said to the ghouls. "Jay, come with me"
She took my hand and I followed her out the pool. The girls resumed their game. I couldn't help but to watch Morrigans body as we walked up the stairs to the room she said we'd go in. Her wet body, her curves wiggling. The beast within me wanted to take her down. I snapped out of my thoughts as we entered the room. Steam hit my face and I had to take a deep breath. Morrigan stepped into the jacuzzi, I stepped in after her. She continued to hold my hand.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothings the matter, I just know you're going to take a few...so give me some before you go"
"I'm gonna need more than just five minutes then"
Morrigan chuckled. "Let's save that part for later, now come here already"
I leaned in and so did she. We slowly kissed. I bit her bottom lip and held it for a moment. The softness of her made my blood rush. My hands couldn't keep from traveling across her lower parts. She moaned as I kissed her neck. Her right hand rested on my shoulder as the other one grabbed me through my shorts. Morrigan suddenly placed her mouth a bit over my collarbone and sucked. She took her time pulling me back and forth with her grip. I took her hand away before we did too much.
"Alright" I said.
Morrigan detached herself from my neck and looked in my eyes.
"Oh, definitely, we could use more than five minutes"
"I told you but I'll be back babe" I kissed her one last time and left out the jacuzzi. I reached for her hand. She took it and stepped out. We exited the room and the girls watched us as we walked down the staircase. I noticed their eyes were staring at me down there.
"I'll see you later, girls" I said waving to them.
Morrigan held my hands as Lucien and Mudo came closer.
The girls all smiled and waved goodbye.
"Akena" I called to her.
"Yes your Majesty?" She replied. She swam to me.
"Tomorrow we're having breakfast at my house. Get your skills ready for me"
"What do you want from me - specifically?" Akena asked, tilting her head.
"French toast, sausage, hash browns, yeah I think that'll do it for me. Thanks. I'll see you in the a.m"
"Alright. I'll do that for you. Goodnight, your Majesty" she replied before she disappeared underwater.
I then turned to Lucien and Mudo.
Damn, I'm about to walk with them without Morrigan
"Jay" Morrigan said.
I turned to her. "Yeah?"
"Don't make it awkward, you can talk to them" she whispered.
I smirked. "Who said I'd make it awkward" I replied, whispering back.
She gave me a look.
"Stop reading my mind" I said with a smirk.
"I told you about that, go on. I'll be in bed...wait" she said.
"Alright"
She released my hands and stepped back. She stretched her arms towards me. Suddenly I heard the sound of wings flapping. Before I knew it, bats surrounded me. I remembered Morrigan did this to herself. Just as I remembered, the bats vanished. I looked across my body. I was dry.
"There you go" Morrigan said smiling.
"Damn, thanks" I said, astonished.
"My pleasure"
We kissed and Morrigan released my hands.
I grabbed my shirt and quickly put on my shoes. Lucien held the door open as I went through.
^V^
I walked down a dark staircase with the ghouls. We were in another part of the castle I haven't explored yet.
"Are you enjoying yourself here so far my Lord?" Lucien asked.
"Yeah, this whole experience makes me feel like I'm more than alive"
"Never you expected this, Lord Lovell?" Mudo asked.
"No, honestly. And I don't regret a single moment"
"I see" Mudo replied. "Lady Morrigan, has in you much faith"
"You are the only person from anywhere she's traveled that she has allowed in her home" Lucien added.
"Really, I'm the only guy she's legitimately took into her home? A simple human"
"We don't believe you are just a simple human" Lucien said. As he guided me through the halls. "You had to have descended from a bloodline of royalty in an ancient time, possibly a reincarnation"
"I've thought the same, I'm still searching for the answers" I replied.
"Within you, search. Within you, are your answers" Mudo said. "Lady Morrigan, your identity, she questions like you do"
"We're here" Lucien stated.
We reached a huge wooden door. The walls were lit with torches. This was another path to Belial I see. I opened the door.
"Here we will be when you are done Lord Lovell" Mudo said to me.
"Thanks you two" I turned and went inside.
That actually wasn't bad Morrigan
I studied my surroundings. The room was huge.
Who created this place?
Especially for something this large to sit in the clouds. My eyes settled on the colors of the room, blue bounced off every inch of the walls. I wandered around the large room until I spotted a throne and then a bigger one appeared beside it.
"Time is growing near, Lovell"
I looked around the room, no body was there.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"Everywhere"
"Can you manifest yourself?" I asked.
"If that's what you wish, so be it"
I looked around the room and still no one was in sight. I turned to see the thrones and someone standing behind them.
"Lord Belial?" I asked.
"You may call me Father from now on...son"
The man stood tall over the thrones. He wore a robe, engraved with symbols and hieroglyphics. His face was young but pale and his black hair slicked backwards. His eyes shined white.
"So this is you" I said. Studying his appearance.
"Yes, though this is not a matter of who I am, but of who you will become"
"And that's the king right? Over the Makai?"
"Much more than that. You are a beginning of a new breed, a new age, a father. Earth and Makai, the hero of them both. Lovell, my son, will be great, greater than who I am"
"Then considering this fight I have with Demitri, you think I'm ready?" I asked as I walked around the room.
"That isn't a question for me to answer, but rather for you to believe in your mind. Power isn't anything without the mind that controls it. That mind must be strong, and courageous. In your case, you have those aspects. I see much potential within you, not to defeat the ignorant vampire, but to remain a force for good through your journey. About your confrontation with Demitri, I know you will overcome, you'll learn yourself before you realize it"
If this is true then I need to start exploring my strengths
"Father, I have so many questions... how is Morrigan... herself? Who is this Lilith girl that she says is her sister?"
"Ah, Morrigan is a bundle of concern for me. She's been so ever since I adopted her. Her parents were killed. Morrigan was the only one. Due to me worrying of her not being capable of controlling herself, I separated her power. If not doing so, it could have lead to her ruin and devastation of the Makai"
Belial emitted a scene before us. It showed a baby with green hair and green eyes lying on her back. She was squirming and crying. Suddenly, two green orbs appeared and floated around above her. She was intrigued by them. Baby Morrigan faded out and the two orbs remained. One disappeared leaving the remainder floating.
"I sealed a third of that energy into a realm where it eventually became Lilith due to a darker force. As Morrigan matured, I gave her one fraction to her at a time. The first fraction; Lilith, was fused with her an age back. She's grown quite more heroic since that day"
The orb slowly expanded into a girls frame. It then grew a peach skin tone with purple hair. The girl wore a corset similar to her sisters. Although, hers was red with blue tight leggings underneath. Her curves were small unlike Morrigans'. She must've been a younger girl. Lilith then opened her eyes. They were red and as innocent looking as Morrigans'. She grew her wings that were red as well. Suddenly Morrigan came back, this time as an adult. The two girls hugged and Lilith shined bright as a star as her body was absorbed into Morrigan. After they bonded, everything faded out.
Wow, Lilith was basically still a child.
"But the other fraction, she isn't ready for yet?" I asked.
Belial slowly walked past me.
"No, and when she is, I may no longer be. Lucien and Mudo would've been responsible to give it to her, but I have you now"
Belial then raised & opened the palm of his hand. A green ball of light floated before us.
"This, will be yours temporarily. Only use this when needed. Unlike Morrigan, you were born able to control your vast power, along with the bonus power you've gained. I'd have never come to think my daughter would find a human as mysterious as you in a near millenium. But I am grateful you are here. So I give this to you."
Belial then reached within himself and out came yet another orb. It shined red and floated towards me. My eyes grew big at the sight of my gift.
This is actually happening to me...again. So much power
"Do as you will with this. This is a portion of me. No matter what happens on your path, take care of Morrigan. She's an arrogant young girl" Belial said as he stood before me.
Then, the orb began to move. I watched as the orb slowly floated and entered my chest. A surge of energy ran through my body. My heart pounded faster. I looked down at my hands. My arms were covered with the same hieroglyphics from Belials robe. They glowed a dark blue as it was now engraved in my skin.
What's happening? This shit is dope as fuck
"Thanks for this new energy & I promise Father, I'll protect her with my life. She's safe with me"
"I believe so. You and Morrigan have a long road ahead. I've grown too weary to expect to be around for the little ones"
Wait what?! Damn, how soon?
"H-How can you-?" I stuttered out of disbelief.
"I foresaw many things, evil and good. Life and death. From it all, I learned your fondness of good and peace is your strength. The mystery behind your soul. You truly are no ordinary human, Lovell...Ultimately, don't lose your faith in those inhabitants of earth, stay strong and give them hope. They'll need it... They'll need you"
"Alright" I nodded.
Belial walked closer to me. He rested a hand on my shoulder and smiled at me. Suddenly, I heard the huge door open.
"You now have the best of both worlds son, make the most of it"
^V^
A creek sounded as I slowly opened the bedroom door. In bed was Morrigan, lying underneath the sheets. I took off most of my clothes, leaving on just my undies and shorts. I entered the bed and wrapped an arm around the queen. She moaned, and turned her head. She looked at me different at first and then smiled.
"That soul of yours, what'd I miss?" She asked softly.
"I'll tell you in the morning bae"
She stared at me before she responded.
"Alright" she then gave me a kiss.
"I love you" I said to her.
"I love you as well" she replied with a small smile.
She then turned her head away and her hand found its way over mine.
Just as I shut my eyes, I felt Morrigan back up against me.
"We still have unfinished business, are we discussing that too tomorrow?" Morrigan asked.
"About you being on my to do list? Yeah" I replied.
"Goodnight, babe" Morrigan giggled.
"G'night, bae" I chuckled.
