It was a calm evening in the outskirts of Jomon Village on Valinor as everyone was in bed for the night. The scattering of fireflies soothed the locals as they were safe in their homes after a long day. Unknown to the situation, the townsfolk stayed put during curfew as there was an unsavory air of dread that came near the dirt roads that surrounded the village. In an abandoned farmhouse near the lake, there were several suspicious people squatting there as they did nothing but cause havoc while listening to classic rock that blared near the barrier of trees. One of them rushed out of the farmhouse as he was going towards the bushes to relieve himself. He was drunk on mainly beer and malt seltzer as he was most likely to be going on another hunt tomorrow night. By the time he was finished, he went back to the farmhouse as he was seeing the other people partying in which they had several female hostages that were tied up in the living room, for this group of suspicious folk were up to no good at all.
"Oh, look at these beauties," the man said as he was sniffing them out.
"Brad! You should wait until they sober up a bit," said a woman as she was digging into a cooler for another beer. "Those Elves are easy prey, but there's hardly any humans prowling around this planet."
"For starters, Luanne, drinking Elven blood is like drinking a glass of V-8. Once we exsanguinate these girlies, we'll break out the vodka and Worcestershire sauce so we can have Bloody Maries shot by shot."
"I love the smell of a fresh Bloody Mary in the evening."
CRASH!
The suspicious people spotted a Lorien Elf breaking through the door of the farmhouse as he was armed with a bow with some arrows in his quiver. They were ready to strike as they were bearing their retractable fangs in which the Lorien Elf knew what they were…, vampires. With the Elf firing several arrows on the vampires, several more came out the woodwork as they were also bearing their fangs at him. The male vampire who relieved himself earlier was staring at the Lorien Elf as he was suffering in agony after getting an arrow in the shoulder, for he wanted him out of the picture before more racket ensues.
"Bruce Mahoney," he said as he saw the Elf fire off several more shots at the rest of the suspicious folk. "I heard a lot about you!"
"Likewise, but I know what you are," he said as he drew out his Elven blade. "You're a nest of vampires in which the you continue to prey on innocent girls just to exsanguinate them for their blood."
"Brilliant deduction," said the female vampire as she was itching to attack the Elf. "You have some nerve coming after us in which you shot us with your fancy Lord of the Rings arrows."
"The arrows I crafted are made of silver, ethereal metal, wrought iron, and steel. What you really don't know is that they are infused with Dead Man's Blood, which is a poison that can slow you down."
"You bastard!"
It wasn't long until the Elf known as Bruce Mahoney used the sword to decapitate the two vampires that were shot with his arrows. The rest of the nest bore their fangs as they were ready to attack him in which another Lorien Elf with dark skin emerged to finish off the rest with arrows and blades. With the nest eliminated and the hostages freed, Bruce and the other Elf were grateful as they stopped the vampire nest from causing more harm, for this wasn't the first time that they dealt with suspicious folk like this.
"The nest is eliminated," said the other Lorien Elf as she put away her weapons. "The vampires that once occupied the farmhouse of that Terran family will not trouble anyone else again." She sees the plethora of empty beer bottles and cans on the floor. "Those monsters are more like unruly savages the moment they get past us while they pass as Terran."
"The worst is over, Aldith," said Bruce. "The vampire nest that has been terrorizing Mahoney land and the outskirts of Jomon Village is out of the way, but there are more all over Valinor hiding in farmhouses and abandoned barns."
"The last one who tangled with such a vampire nest here was none other than the late Ippei Mitani, who was killed by Darbus Toller. As for the ones before him, the only Cetra family who ever gave every Elf the tools to dealing with vampires was the Elkins Clan, who are nearly extinct except for Mizuwa, who is now married to the High Elf who lost his loved ones to the Executive Division."
"I heard all about it when Minara lost his first wife and father-in-law at the hands of Julilla Paxton in which she was killed during the incident on the Sol-2. As for the one who prevented Project Ra from causing more havoc, he's on his way here as we speak."
Without warning, the floor to the farmhouse gave way as Bruce fell through towards a basement that was mainly stone and mortar below. The place was empty except for the empty vodka bottles that were scattered on the floor. The nest that he helped stop did a number on several innocent maidens in which he saw the evidence of the blood stored in mason jars just to keep for possible cocktails. What he didn't expect was that there was a draft coming from one of the walls the moment he pushed it open to reveal a set of stairs that were below the basement he was in. When Aldith leaped down to where he was, she spotted the drafty stairs as she followed Bruce downward. With their flashlights turned on, they went towards an entrance as it revealed a shrine that was left untouched for centuries. The images of me and Reiko in sexual positions painted on the wall were proof that it was something that was discovered, for it was also on Mahoney land as we..
"What on Valinor is this?" asked Aldith as she saw the images on the wall.
"I know of the High Elf woman to be the granddaughter of Ippei Mitani," said Bruce.
"As for the Terran that is with her in that picture, it's been said that his past self sacrificed himself to stop the Apocalypse in the Elder Days."
"I know that man. I've been on a mission to Alecrast once in which he happens to be the son of John Winchester."
"John Winchester… It's been years since we visited Alecrast in which he was on high alert in protecting that boy with the jewelled sigil on his forehead."
"Sam Winchester… His birth signaled a chain reaction that ended the First Galvanic Uprising on Alecrast, but the Executive Division are not pulling any punches to jumpstart Project Amaterasu and Project Helios. From what I know is that he and Ippei's granddaughter are coming here to find this shrine, but we should have more security to keep it from prying eyes, including our enemies."
Bruce and Aldith heard footsteps approaching as they rushed back upstairs to find several members of the Hunter Corps arriving to comb for evidence of the vampire activity that occurred here. Both Elves were more than likely to report to Akio about the discovery as the final shrine was soon revealed to open the Destiny of Worlds further…
The Order of Letters ship warped to eastern part of the Ashizoka System as I was inside of my quarters with Reiko in it. We were on our way towards Valinor as we saw it up close. It was a beautiful planet as it had a graceful aura to it in which it was a place that I never went to until now. I was eager to tell my family about it. Sitting in a chair next to my bed, I was writing in my journal as I was most likely to document this place that housed the Order's main headquarters there. I never expected to go to Valinor until now as I noticed Reiko walking into our quarters the moment she sat down on the bed. We were most likely to be finding the final shrine there as we also missing our family as well.
"This planet is beautiful," said Reiko as she saw it through the window.
"Valinor is a planet that is mostly Elves and less Terrans," I said.
"It's strange that we've never been here before, but the last shrine is there."
"According to the records that were archived, the shrine on Valinor is well hidden, but some of the Elven clans refuse to allow entry due to what the Executive Division are trying to do."
"I hope that they let us in towards that shrine..."
"The Mahoneys and the Malones are from two of the Elven classes, but they are also members of the Order that even deal with the possible monsters that prowl all over the planet."
"Grandfather once told me about the Elven classes that live on Valinor: The Lorien live in the trees, the Quenya live near the rivers and mountains, the Mirkwood live in the swamps, and the Sindar live near the oceans. All four Elf classes live everywhere on the planet, but the monsters that they often deal with are vampires."
I saw the image of Valinor getting bigger as the Order of Letters ship was touching down towards Valinorian airspace. We were landing further as the ship landed towards the Order's main headquarters there. By the time the ship touched down, we went towards the back as we got out of there to see the sights of Valinor up front. The interior of the headquarters here was more beautiful than anything as I saw several dignitaries from other planets coming and going. We were ready to report in as we noticed the rest of our family here in which we even saw Cynthia with them. I was elated to see the children here as Dirk was the first one to greet us, for we missed them so much.
"It's about time that you guys showed up!" I heard him yell.
"Sorry about being late," I said.
"Nathan and the others are occupying the Cerulean Palace at the behest of the Order and the Targar Government," said Cynthia as she was tending to the younger children. "I heard about Kazuo's death."
"Yeah, Reuben said that he died from the illness that was caused by the Brandings of God."
"With the Medical Corps under Reuben's leadership, it has been more dedicated than ever to help those who are sick and injured. Thankfully, James came and brought me the children in which he had to do his part in this ongoing war."
"Mr. Sam!"
I saw Carly sprinting towards me as I picked her up to hug her. She was happy to see me as she didn't want me to let go yet. I was also elated to see Gyatso as he was holding his Superman toy while Kanna was happy to see Reiko the moment she hugged her warmly. It wasn't long until Nibori emerged from the ship as she was happy to see the children safe. Even though she was eager to join us for our stay on Valinor, what she didn't expect was that a familiar face had bumped into her as they both landed on the floor. It was Kevin as he was blushing at Nibori without warning, for he was sent at the behest of the Hunter Corps after all.
"You should at least watch where you're going," he said.
"So should you," said Nibori as she stood up on her feet. "I had a long adventure, but I sure saw a lot of things along the way."
"From what I know is that the shrine here was discovered by Bruce Mahoney on his lands in which he even helped flush out a vampire nest that was squatting in a farmhouse." Kevin fishes out a tablet to reveal the location where the nest once stood. "Bruce Mahoney and Aldith Thibodeau were tracking the suckheads after multiple reports of young girls gone missing to be killed and exsanguinated, but they stopped them from terrorizing Mahoney land and parts of Jomon Village." More images showed up as there were pictures of the shrine that was discovered. "The Mahoney Clan have a sharp surveillance all over the farmhouse after it was cleansed from what went on in there."
"I've seen something like this before on both Gehenna and Atreides. Before they left for Minas Tirith, I was on standby, but I found some old scrap that was salvageable, but old, on Targaryen. Still, I was roped in for the ride when Reiko wanted to go with me."
"It was a good call," I said as I was holding Carly in my arms. "Thankfully, all is well, but the final shrine will bring us to the Destiny of Worlds soon enough."
I led everyone into the inside of the Order's main headquarters on Valinor as we were tired from our trip. What we never expected was that there was a mechanical bird with a SIM-Tron chip in it perched on a roof until it was destroyed internally by an unknown force. Footsteps were heard as Jack appeared out of nowhere in which he picked up the mechanical bird and removed the SIM-Tron chip and was ready to prevent the Executive Division from reaching me. He wanted me to succeed as he once remembered the mural that was painted in the bunker during the Elder Days. When he spotted me going into the interior of the Order's main headquarters, he was grateful that I would fulfill the Destiny of Worlds as he was ready to go further into Valinor's scenery, for he was aware of what the Executive Division was doing in this ongoing war…
I was in my lodgings with Reiko and the others as we were having a meal of dumplings and fried rice for dinner. I missed everyone as I also noticed Elise in the kitchen frying up more food for all of us. She was more than glad to see us as I saw her frying up some shrimp that was drenched in panko and tempura. I didn't mind her cooking for us as I watched her work at the rest of dinner so far.
"I missed you guys," she said as she was flipping at the shrimp with a set of chopsticks.
"We're sorry," said Reiko as she entered into the kitchen.
"I'm more than glad to be out of the Cerulean Palace after hearing Dvora bitching up a storm. She was eager to chew you out for leaving her there with the company occupying the place. Even some of the Hunter Corps that came here after restoring Emperor Roderick to power on Minas Tirith were there keeping watch for suspicious activity."
"That's good to hear," I said.
"By the way, I got word from my uncle that there's a shrine underneath a farmhouse on our land. It was found last night in which it was hidden in the basement. He even said that he and Aldith flushed out a nest of vampires that were squatting there."
"I'll have an audience with your uncle once we rest up and see this matter through."
I was eager to talk with Elise's uncle as the time to fulfill the Destiny of Worlds was already complete. As the night was settling in, it would soon be a call for our presence tomorrow as I was eager to do my part in this long journey, for this was about to be over soon enough…
Reiko and I were in our own room as we were cleaned up and dressed in our nightclothes. The night was settling in nicely as we saw fireflies circling out our window. I was more than glad to be in bed instead of the ship as I was ready to fall asleep with my wife in my arms until we felt a pair of hands grabbing our arms the moment we vanished towards the shrine that was found on Mahoney land. The place itself was more in tune like all the rest as I saw the images of me and Reiko painted on the wall. To our surprise, we saw Jack standing in front of us as he was eager to stand on guard, for he was there to make sure that we did our duty so far.
"Sorry to do this, but your duty is needed," he said as he gave me a box of condoms.
"Do the protectors of these lands know of this?" I asked.
"Bruce Mahoney and his clan are on duty dealing with vampires that come and go on his land. Luckily, he found this place when he cleared a vampire nest."
"This is our last shrine to fulfill our duty, isn't it?" said Reiko.
"Sam! Reiko!" yelled Nibori as she was running towards us. "You two got dragged into this just as I did, didn't you?"
"Your magic is needed to keep the door shut for privacy reasons."
"I know what you're thinking because it's rude to walk in on them while they're… you know…, doing it?"
"Tonight is the night for them and the urge is getting stronger in which they won't be able to resist it."
"Okay, let's give the lovebirds some privacy." Nibori sees us enter further into the shrine as she used an incantation to close the door. "Claude ostium."
The entrance was closed up for us to fulfill our urge as we went towards the pool the moment we took off our clothes. By the time we entered into the pool, our urge for one another was stronger than what we imagined as we felt in tune with our primal desires. When we left the pool, I picked up the box of condoms that Jack gave me as we walked towards the stone altar. It was the final shrine as we had to fulfill our duty in the Destiny of Worlds. Without further hesitation, I laid Reiko down on her back as I began to kiss her soft lips. She was mine to take on this night as I was touching at the soft flesh between her legs. In return, she wanted me as I felt her hand touching at my member the moment I let out a moan of arousal.
We were feeling more in tune than normal as I felt my member hardening up in which I took out a condom and began to unwrap it. By the time I placed it on my member, I spread Reiko's legs as I entered inside of her. I was giving her more pleasure than normal as she was overwhelmed by my gentle touch. Her body was mine for the taking as I continued to thrust while I was touching at her breasts. My hot breath was on her neck as I was in the most insatiable heat that engulfed me while I made love to her with such passion. With her legs lifted up, I took point and hoisted her up while I sat up with my knees folded and spread out. The cries of arousal filled the room as we continued to make passionate love to one another. I sat Reiko up as I buried my face beneath her breasts.
"Oh, Sammy…" I heard her say as she felt my member coursing inside of her. "I love you so much…"
"I love you, too, my darling," I said to her as I was giving her my all.
We continued to give more passion as we laid back down. I felt Reiko's legs wrap around me as she was wanting me to delve deeper in our throes of passion. The overwhelming sensation made me go further as my member approached there the moment I heard Reiko crying out in such further desire. By the time we reached our climax, a huge surge of raw power emerged as it blew a hole in the ceiling in which we were tired from the urge that calmed the itch. When I pulled out of Reiko, I removed the spent condom from my member and tossed it in the wastebasket before I returned to her. We snuggled close to each other as we saw the moon full and bright on this night, for our duty has been fulfilled at last.
"It's strange that we concluded our duty," said Reiko.
"I know, but we also have other duties, both familial and intimate," I said as I was looking at her.
"I hope that Nibori opens up the door for us…"
"Speaking of Nibori…"
I got up as I went towards the entrance where it was closed off. I was ready to call for her as I was ready to leave back to the Order's main headquarters on Valinor. Just as I was about to do so, I heard Reiko screaming as I grabbed my clothes and put them back on. When I ran back to the stone altar, I saw an unknown figure dressed in hunter garb from the Elder Days holding Reiko hostage in which he spotted me directly, for he was bearing a grudge for no apparent reason.
"Sam Winchester," he said as he was bearing his fangs. "I knew that I would catch up to you!"
"Whoever you are, let Reiko go!" I cried. "She has nothing to do with it!"
"You don't know who I am, do you?! You've been Azazel's golden boy when you went dark side, only to worry about your older brother whose year was slowly being up and collected to be in Hell. After that song and dance, I met with your brother again and his neurotic boy-toy in Purgatory and they even escaped with that vampire, Benny LaFitte!"
"The Sam Winchester that you speak of has been dead for centuries. As for my own predicament, I now have the Destiny of Worlds fulfilled with my wife's help."
"You're lying! I know that you would be goaded into helping Hell's army with those powers of yours!"
"Release my wife. She's an innocent that doesn't need to be dragged into this mess!"
"This pointy-eared woman is your wife?!" The man in hunter garb looks up as he sees Seto standing from the ceiling with a crossbow pointed at him. "You just had to butt in, didn't you… Seto Ashizoka?"
An arrow shot from the crossbow as Reiko got out of the way in which the man in hunter garb ended up getting hit in the shoulder. When I saw my wife run into my arms, I was scared for her safety as I took off my overrobe and put it over her. The man who attacked spotted Seto as she leaped downward near the stone altar while armed with her crossbow in her hands. It wasn't long until I saw her attack our assailant as she fired another shot into his abdomen, for she knew of him very well.
"Gordon Walker," she said as she saw him remove the arrow from his body. "I had a feeling that you would be causing trouble since you left Purgatory."
"You never change, do you, Seto?" he said as he was bleeding from his wounds.
"You still have the gall to attack the Sam Winchester of the present because you recognize his past self from the Elder Days? How low can you possibly get?"
"You know of him, don't you?" said Reiko as she was shaking in my arms.
"Gordon Walker was a hunter that ended up being obsessed with hunting your husband's past self from the Elder Days. After Azazel's death, his obsession became worse in which he even ended up being turned into the very creature he despised the most."
"Vampire," I said.
"Excellent deduction," said Gordon as he was reeling in pain while he stared at me. "I would've gotten away with killing you if it wasn't for your meddling brother who made a deal with a Crossroads demon to resurrect you, complete with a contract for one year."
"Reserare ostium!" yelled Nibori as she opened the door to the entrance of the shrine.
We saw Nibori rush to our aid as she had her laser rifle pointed at Gordon. She didn't want any harm directed towards us as she was ready to fire the moment she saw the fallen hunter bear his fangs towards me. I wasn't about to let him attack us as I used my raw power to disable him temporarily. What we didn't expect was that another commotion coming as Aldith rushed to our aid to shoot at Gordon in which she shot at his leg. She was aware of him being a vampire as she was ready to finish him off until he disappeared without a trace. Even though the threat was over, Seto was not too happy with the outcome as she noticed a rune on the floor. Picking it up, she saw it to be part of Rowena's collection as she was also aware that it was used by someone else other than the usual suspect that was the bane of every witch's existence.
"This is a portal rune," she said as she showed it to me.
"I never saw it before," I said.
"The vampire may be gone, but we need to get Sam and Reiko topside," said Nibori.
"Damn it," said Aldith. "It had to be the Vesper Guild sending that thing back to where it came from."
"The Vesper Guild knows how to deal with unruly fiends who attack members of the Order," said Seto. "From a standpoint, our wayward hunter from Purgatory keeps mistaking the new god of the Ashizoka System for his past self from the Elder Days."
Aldith saw me with Reiko as she bowed out of respect. She once heard stories about me as she was also aware of the raw power that I possessed. Now that I have become a god, I was eager to use my raw power to see fit as I was eager to protect those in need, for I had all the admiration that would be revered throughout the entire galaxy.
"You came here to fulfill your duty with your wife, My Lord," she said. "As for the vampire who returned to Purgatory, he was skulking all over the farmhouse looking for his brethren who were dispatched last night."
"Sam, this is Aldith Thibodeau," said Seto. "She's Bruce Mahoney's right-hand woman and a member of the Order."
"We should get back to the main headquarters here," said Reiko. "Mother might be worried about us."
I went towards the floor as I picked up Reiko's clothes the moment we all left the shrine and go upstairs to the abandoned farmhouse where the vampire attack occurred. When I took the lead and went out the door, I saw Elise standing there without her weapons as she wasn't moving where she stood. I was glad to see her until Seto pulled out her crossbow with a hint of suspicion. I was eager to stay her hand as she refused to budge in which something was wrong.
"I've been waiting for you, Sam," she said.
"From a standpoint, you never go without your weapons," I said.
"You're right…" I see Elise's eyes flash to black as the worst fear has come to life. "I didn't take this meatsuit's weapons!"
"You're that demon who tried to attack Reuben when the Review Board upped his position in the Medical Corps, aren't you?" said Nibori. "Why are you possessing Elise?!"
"Don't any of you make sudden moves!" We all stopped briefly as we saw her walking towards the lake. "If any of you chuckleheads manage to follow me, I'll drown this bitch!"
"Don't even think of drowning Elise!"
Nibori reached into her holster as she fished out a hex bag with a Devil's Trap painted on it. Tossing it onto the ground, it pinned Elise as she was unable to move. With Reiko and the others taking cover, Nibori and I were ready to exorcise the demon who was possessing Elise as I was using my raw power to trap her further, for I didn't want to lose her at the hands of this demon.
"Really, another fucking hex bag?!" yelled the demon that was possessing Elise. "This is worse than my stint on Atreides!" Reiko walks forward to us as she wasn't about to let the demon cause further harm. "Lady Reiko in the flesh! It's a shame that you're nothing but dead weight!"
"Release Elise right now!" she said. "I won't let you hurt her, demon!" She was standing her ground as she had a much brighter aura all over her while wearing the same dress that she wore in Gale Canyon. "You're done, you monster!" She was staring at me as she was wanting me to exorcise Elise. "Sammy, we must save her!"
"Hang in there, Elise," I said as I began to recite the Rituale Romanum. "Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omni satanica potestas, omnis incursio;" I see the demon struggling to hold onto Elise. "Infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis et secta diabolica. Ergo draco maledicte, et omnis legio diabolica adjuramus te. Cessa decipere humanas creaturas; eisque aeternae Perditionis venenum propinare. Vade, Satana; inventor et magister omnis fallaciae, hostis humanae salutis. Humiliare sub potenti manu dei, contremisce et effuge; invocato a nobis sancto et terribili nomine, quem inferi tremunt."
"It burns!" shrieked the demon that was possessing Elise. "I'm on fucking fire right now!"
"...Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine. Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate serviere te rogamus, audi nos. Terribilis Deus de sanctuario suo. Deus Israhel ipse virtutem truderit et fortitudinem plebi suae. Benedictus Deus, Gloria Patri!"
The demon who possessed Elise was expelled from her body as it was driven away once again. The combined efforts of my raw power, Reiko's angelic aura, and the hex bag that Nibori tossed at had worked as we saw Elise buckle to her knees. She was scared as she didn't know how she got here in which she was starting to get frantic, for she was worried about her missing weapons.
"I never go anywhere without my bow and arrows," she yelled as she was starting to grow anxious.
"You were possessed by that demon who tried to kill Reuben on Atreides," said Reiko.
"I was about to go home until I ended up leaving my weapons somewhere in a random location."
"That was when you were possessed," said Nibori. "As for the demon who did this, this is the second time it was ready to attack because I knew of it when it tried to attack Reuben on Atreides."
"That 'demon' has a name," said Seto as she emerged out of her hiding place. "His name's Plantagenet and he's one of Milverton's men. It also turns out that he bears a grudge against Reuben for having Lester exorcised in which he had a kindred spirit with him the moment he got killed by the Dean Winchester of Old in the Elder Days."
"You shouldn't be out alone without weapons, Elise," said Aldith as she wasn't too happy with her not too long ago. "All Elves here must have weapons or else they will perish from those who lurk in the dark. Your uncle would also be cross towards you because of the many vampires who often lurk in old farmhouses and barns just to kidnap innocents and drain them of their blood."
"But I was possessed!" she cried.
"Aldith," I said. "She's had a rough night. For the record, we should return home until tomorrow."
It wasn't long until we saw several Elves armed with arrows coming towards us as they noticed me and Reiko in the crowd. To our surprise, we noticed the leader of the Mahoney Clan here as he was riding on a six-legged white horse in which he spotted Elise without her weapons the moment he had them in his possession. When he commanded the other Elves to stay their hands, he got off of his horse as he handed Elise her bow and arrows in which he was aware of what happened earlier.
"You need to keep your weapons with you at all times," he said. "Therefore, the demon who possessed you earlier had the gall to find the farmhouse the moment that light shot up from below."
"You knew about the demon possession, didn't you?" I said.
"We Elves have sensing abilities that rival those of Terrans, My Lord. I was thankful that you saved my niece with the help of Lady Reiko and that scrapper from the Order in which that demon was gunning for you since your excursion on Atreides."
"You must be Bruce Mahoney. It is an honor to meet you."
"I've come to collect your family to the castle in which your stepmother, wards servants, and children are in the castle located in Jomon Village. You can thank your young friend, Jack, for aiding you earlier. Come, let's go."
And so, we followed Bruce and the other Elves as we were going towards Jomon Village as planned. What we didn't see was that Jack was watching as he was grateful that I finally reached god status in order to stop the Executive Division from causing widespread harm. Even though he was the King of Heaven, he also viewed me as a boon instead of a threat as he remembered my past self and the others living in the Order of Letters bunker in the Elder Days. With the Destiny of Worlds fulfilled, the rest of the planets in the central part of the Ashizoka System have already materialized as the time to vitalize them has already begun…
Odette was in a set of quarters in our castle on Alecrast as she was there for her protection. Even though she sensed Gordon Walker escaping Purgatory, her efforts into bringing him back in there came to pass as she couldn't let stray vampires attack the people who lived on Valinor. With her magic limited, she was exhausted as she noticed the door opening up to see Jeriba entering to see her, for she knew of the Vesper Guild like all of us in the Order.
"It seems that the stray fell into a hole in the ground after that blast of light on Valinor," she said.
"We saw the signs in which the Eichenberg Twins are not too thrilled with Sam's status as a god," said Odette. "Now that the Destiny of Worlds is fulfilled, that doesn't mean that the Executive Division isn't backing down."
"There's Project Amaterasu on the docket and it's hovering above Westeros on the Sol-3. The Eichenberg Twins, Lorne and Liesel, are still causing havoc in other planets in which they stepped up their defensive against the Stohessian region of Tau Ventrati."
"Tau Ventrati is a death trap waiting to happen. During my last visit on that planet, I had to deal with a La Tunda, which was recorded and written in one of The Winchesters books written by Cortese Padalecki that is known as Teach Your Children Well. A La Tunda is known to trap disobedient brats just to feed on them and I barely made it out of there by hacking off one of her legs and killing her with it. The plant life in that Stohessian region is so dangerous that no humanoid has ever made it out and lived to tell the tale."
"You lived to tell the tale and you escaped from Poison Ivy's den. You're lucky to be alive just like your granddaughter is lucky to be in the Order without scrutiny."
"I would rather have Nibori there than my own guild right now. Thankfully, Shion made the right decision to have her serve Sam Winchester and his family in which she has an imprint of raw power on her back after she saved him from an assassin's bullet. There is a reason for her to be here in the Order because of the fact that the Vesper Guild is on the verge of extinction after tangling with Sawney Masbath. He was wanting our magic trinkets to get revenge on Sam for having him imprisoned at Belbe Citadel on Gehenna, but he escaped with the magic runes that he stole from Rowena. We all know that Sawney Masbath is one of the worst blackmailers that ever lived at the expense of his father, Emperor Sarno XII. He was spoiled, indulged, and even coddled by his mother, Matilda Masbath, in which he used his status to his advantage to the point of having a sexual obsession with his half-sister, Princess Mary, who married John Winchester. His cruelty knows no limits, for he is hiding in the distance while he sends other unearthly fiends to do his dirty work."
Odette clenched her hands as she continued to loathe Sawney Masbath for causing ruin to the Vesper Guild. Without further hesitation, she unbuttoned the top part of her dress as she showed the scars that were all over her body. The ghastly sight of burn marks on her back and shoulders made Jeriba gasp in shock as she never seen anything like it before, for it was a reminder of the cruelty that was spotted in front of her.
"Look at what that bastard did to me," said Odette as she had tears in her eyes. "You know of it well, Jeriba Farragut. He did this to me! I know of it because of the fact that I've seen him blackmail people into silence like what he did with John Winchester's second wife after Mary's death. I got in the way when Sawney displayed his rage full and center against Cynthia MacVicker. That was when John went into a deep depression in which he feared for the safety of the new god and his older brother. I saw Sawney trying to disfigure Cynthia in which I took the acid in her stead. It was my own reminder to protect those who fought alongside my own organization during the Orc Wars. Sawney Masbath is out for blood and he'll stop at nothing to destroy Sam Winchester if he's not careful."
Odette put back on her dress as she was still clenching at her fists. The memory of Sawney drenching her with oil of vitriol was too much to bear as she once saved Cynthia's life at the time. As for my position as a god, however, she couldn't let me suffer the grudge against me by my nemesis as there was a new power player in the Second Galvanic Uprising…
We found ourselves in Jomon Village as it was a sight of mainly houses and businesses that were built in the largest trees imaginable. I even noticed the modern tech that adorned every house that was there as I saw the castle that was near a river. The sight of it was much larger as I even saw the Winchester Sigil painted on the banners. The further sight of other Elves in their homes was different than what was see in Kanto Village on Alecrast as they saw me and Reiko surrounded by members of the Mahoney Clan. By the time we stopped near the castle, I noticed Bruce getting off of his six-legged steed as he fished out a key with the Aquarian Star etched into it the moment he gave it to me. He was in awe of me and Reiko as he had a reverence for us the moment we set foot on Valinor.
"This castle is linked to the ones in Kanto Village on Alecrast, Anzu Village on Drakonus, and Tenzo Village on Westeros," he said. "Both you and your wife are the new god and goddess of this basket of planets and are as compassionate as the King of Heaven who had revered the Winchesters of Old to be a greater and kinder influence than his own father, who met his end at the hands of Torune Mitani."
"I am grateful that you give me this castle," I said. "As for the other castles, they are interlocked to the planets that they're on in which I will be there to offer guidance to those who need it."
"My Lord!" yelled a courier as he was dressed in Valinorian armor with a letter in his hand. "This came for you!"
I received the letter as I saw it to be from the Dabb Mountains on Shiganshina. Opening it up, I saw the letter to be from Dean as he was busy fighting tooth and nail against our foes in the Executive Division. What I also didn't expect was that he wanted an audience with me as I had no other choice but to answer the call to see what he was up to. Putting away the letter, I had the key in my other hand as I opened up the gates in which I saw the castle to be much larger than what I was used to on Alecrast. With the rest of my group entering into the structure, I led the way as I was ready to settle down for the night. After all that was said and done, I was ready to go to bed as I rushed inside where the rest of my family was in. What I didn't expect to see was that Jack was watching in the distance as he was more than blessed to see me and Reiko reach a providence like no other, for this was the beginning of this future that was put in front of us. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed Seto standing in front of him as she wanted to give him extra details about the Executive Division's deadly actions along with the mess with Sawney Masbath, for both were deemed threats to me.
"We have a problem," she said.
"It's the double threat against Sam, isn't it?" said Jack.
"The Executive Division is causing havoc on one end with Sawney Masbath doing the other."
"Sam's gonna have to watch his back after all that has happened. He and Lady Reiko must be protected at all costs, for this isn't over yet."
Seto spotted a white crow perched onto a tree branch as she knew of it very well. The sight of a white crow proved to be a bad omen as there was a looming threat that refused to go away anytime soon…
