Elysium's Heroes
Chapter 7. The Fire and Light of Love
The party got on Azurda's back and flew towards Tantal. Even though all the continents were connected, flying was still faster of course. "Do you think Pandoria would want to change her fate, Rex?" Pyra asked who set with Rex on his old bed. "I think she wants to be with Zeke." "Yeah, I would imagine so." "So, what are you guys talking about?" Mythra asked who came into the small room with practically no doors or windows.
"We were talking about what Pandoria might say when we ask her if she wants to change her fate." "I don't think she would want to leave Zeke, she has a major crush on him after all." "It's blatantly obvious." Pyra added. "You guys really shouldn't talk like that about her when you 2 are all smothered about Rex." Nia added who rudely interrupted their talk and came in. Pyra looked down with a huge blush on her face while Mythra had a frowned blush and scolded Nia. "Sh... Shut up!" Nia grinned.
"You are right… we shouldn't talk like that." Pyra apologetically said. "We shouldn't talk like that when we are madly in love with Rex too." Pyra said as she got a little closer to Rex and put her arm around him with seductive eyes. "Ehhh!?" Mythra didn't know what to say so she just reacted in the most lost for words reaction possible. Now Rex was the one who was blushing.
Nia laughed and left the room. To leave the trio in the most uncomfortable situation possible (at least for Mythra). "I can't believe she even has the courage to tell it for me while I am here just buckling it up." Mythra thought to herself. "I should tell Rex myself that I love him." "Hehe, I love you girls too" Rex awkwardly said. "We don't want to lose you Rex." Pyra said. "Don't worry, we will find a way to change the fate of blades for the better." "Thank you, Rex," Pyra smiled. "Everyone, We're here!"
The gang arrived in Tantal we're they sought for Zeke in the black market. "No sign of Shellhead here…" Nia said while looking around. "We should probably go to the castle to find the King. If we don't find Zeke there than the King will definitely know." Rex stated. The crew made their way to the main Castle and walked up to the King of Tantal where they saw Zeke actually besides his Father working on paperwork.
"Would you look at that! I would have never imagined the sight of Shellhead actually doing paperwork. "Would you shut up with the insults already?! Zeke said rather annoyed. "Zeke, Where is Pandoria?" Rex asked. "She is in her room working on something." "Something?" "yeah, she didn't specify, I prefer to leave it at that, she is allowed to have her own life." "Okay well we are off to her room then, if you don't mind." "Okay I have a lot of boring work to do here anyway." "If you are setting off on an adventure, be sure to save me from this and hit me up." The gang made their way to Pandoria's room where Rex knocked on the door.
"Pandoria are you there?" "Oh… Uhm yeah come in!" The party walked in the room where they saw Pandoria quickly close a book. "Hey Pandoria, we would like to ask you something very important." Rex said who tried to respect her privacy by not asking what she was doing.
Pandoria: "Okay what is it?"
Rex: "It's kind of a long story but basically, Pyra, Mythra and I have the ability to change the fate of how blades can live their lives."
Mythra: "We can make it so when your driver dies. You will die with him. You won't return to you Core Crystal and you will not be able to resonate again and be reborn. We can make it so you can join Zeke in the afterlife in Elysium."
Pandoria: "..."
Pyra: "So… Would you like that Pandoria?"
Pandoria: "Pyra Can I speak to you privately?"
Pyra: "Huh…? I mean sure but why now?"
Pandoria: "I want to show you something."
Everyone but Pyra and Pandoria left the room and were waiting in the hallway of the castle of Tantal. "Why do you think Pandoria wanted Pyra to stay behind Mythra?" Rex asked. "There is undoubtedly something private Pandoria only trusts Pyra with to talk about." Mythra looked at Nia who had a grin on her face and made small quick head movements towards the balcony. Mythra looked at the balcony that ended the hallway and knew immediately what Nia wanted to tell her. Mythra quickly shook her head. Nia's grin now turned into a frown, and she repeated her head movements, this time even faster. Mythra sighed in defeat.
"You guys can go back to Azurda. We will wait for Pyra okay?" "Okay Tora might want to check out some parts for Poppi at the black market. If Rex Rex and friends don't find us there, we will be back with old guy." Tora said. "Sound good to me see you there!" said Rex. Mythra looked at Nia who said nothing but had a friendly smile on her face. She nodded and then walked back with the others. "Rex come with me." "Is there something you wanted to talk about Mythra?" Rex said as they walked towards the balcony.
Mythra: "Sigh… Rex I… uhm… I know I am really bad at opening up… and I know that you love Pyra… but I just wanted to tell you that I love you just as much as she does okay…? and that I want to be with you too. So… there is that."
Rex: "Mythra… I already knew that. And I love you too."
Mythra: "Wait what…? I mean I'm relieved but… how did you know?
Rex: "Well you already told me, didn't you?"
Mythra: "That was with Pyra and we were talking in a "We" form! That doesn't count!"
Rex: "Mythra I know you are bad at expressing yourself like this. So, I didn't force the conversation out of you. I wanted it to be your choice."
Mythra: "Wait… so the reason you never really talked with me about this… "love" stuff is because you thought you were respecting my boundaries?"
Rex: "Precisely."
Mythra: "I can't believe I couldn't figure that out myself…"
Rex: "Are you mad?"
Mythra: "No I am glad. And also, a little mad at myself for not noticing… but I am happy you feel the same way."
Rex: "Well it is hard not to… I mean look at you."
Mythra: "Hehe you are right I am gorgeous!"
Rex: "There is the Mythra I know and love! Now if that was all, let us get back with the others."
Mythra: "We still have to wait for Pyra…"
Rex: "Oh… Right."
Mythra: "I know a way we could spend our time."
Rex: "What did you have in mi..HHGND?
Mythra grabbed Rex's face and forcefully kissed him. When Rex realized what has happened, he slowly eased into it and gently held the back of Mythra's head. They kissed for a solid 3 minutes. It feels different from the kiss with Pyra. It was a lot gentler than this one. Mythra's kiss feels a lot… rougher which fits her personality I guess…? but it feels good, nonetheless. While kissing, Mythra reached for Rex's other hand and when she found it, she curled her fingers inside his.
There they were, the Aegis and her driver, shining bright on the balcony able to overlook the beautiful snowy tundra's that is Tantal. Not that they were able to see it, nor did they really care, they were to focused on their mouth play. And it was way more enjoyable to feel each other's tongues play around anyway.
A big drool of saliva connected their tongues as they let go of each other's lips. The 2 lovers were now panting in place still looking in each other's eyes.
"Woah… who is this Mythra? I'd like to explore more of her." "Fufufu you'll get your changes you little pervert." Mythra said as she quickly leaned him in for another kiss.
"So, what is it that you wanted to show me?" Pyra asked. "This." Pandoria revealed a book from her back and gave it to Pyra. "Your Diary?" "Yes, you're the only one I can trust that won't make fun of my feelings and you're a girl, so you get more points." "Will you really allow me to read it?" "Only the last few pages should be fine." Pyra read the Diary for about 5 minutes. "This is really sweet Pandoria." "These are my true feelings for the Prince I don't want anyone to know about, but you can keep a secret right?" "I won't tell anyone; I promise on my Core Crystal."
"Do you really have the power to change the fate of all blades in the world?" Pandoria asked. "Yes, but we don't have much time. Our connection with the Conduit is limited. So, we need to hurry on deciding." "You should probably ask the king about it too, I mean I know he tried to kill you, but I think he wants to make up for it more than anything, you probably can squeeze a bit of confidence out of him for it." "Pandoria you know I'm not like that." "Sorry but I am rooting for you, In fact I think I will go help the Prince now. Thanks to you I can finally be with him when all of this is over."
Pandoria and Pyra got out of the room where they noticed Mythra and Rex kissing each other on the balcony. "OH MY Hpfmmm…?" Pyra quickly put her hand of Pandoria's mouth. "Shhh they need this…" Pyra said with a smile. "But don't you want Rex to be yours?" Pandoria whispered. "Mythra and I are 2 sides of the same coin. One can't be without the other. We feel the same feelings, fear the same fears. It is only natural that we love the same man." Pyra said with a tear sliding down her cheek while still smiling. "But won't you get jealous?" Pyra laughed. "We don't feel jealous about the other. We'll at least I don't. Mythra sometimes has problems with it but now she finally realizes Rex loves us both. And she never actually got jealous in the first place as we are unable to feel jealous about the other. It would be like being jealous about a different part of yourself. It's more pity than anything."
It was then that Rex realized the 2 girls blatantly looking at them. "Oh hey… how long have you girls been standing there…?" "Long enough to know that you like loooong kisses." Pandoria said with a grin. Rex was getting red. While Mythra didn't say anything. It looked like her head was in the clouds or something.
"Uhm Pyra… this won't change anything right…?" Rex asked rather nervous. Pyra smiled. "Of course not, Rex. I am glad you gave Mythra the time she deserves." Rex sighed in relief. "But don't think you have bested me yet Mythra! I will get more kisses out of him than you ever will!" "Oh ho! Confident aren't we sis? Fine! It's a war then!" The Aegises both smirked at Rex who was getting extremely red and uncomfortable. "Well Rex, it looks like you will have a lot of work to do to satisfy both your girlfriends." Pandoria said with a grin. Rex looked at Pyra and Mythra who were both giving him a lovely smile. "And I won't disappoint them."
