Sawney was ready to use his hex bag as he threw it at Dean and Lollia. With an evil grin on his face, he was ready to do his worst until the hex bag fizzled in which he noticed it catching on fire. Anger flooded him as he was ready to strike until he was caught in a binding spell by someone who was there on business. Dean and Lollia had a gut feeling that the intruder who came here was none other than a witch as she was dressed in a black Edwardian dress in which she also had dark skin and black hair to her appearance. Still, she had a beef with Sawney as she wasn't about to let him get away yet, for she was hell-bent on sending him back to prison where he belonged.
"You couldn't stay put in your petty little jail cell, could you, Sawney?" she said.
"Odette Clarke…," he said as he was he was struggling to get free. "You were supposed to be either hung by the neck or burnt at the stake!"
"I've come to get what is mine in which Rowena told me everything about how you have a habit of plundering from our secret lockboxes, including the ones who saved the life of Torune Mitani."
"How dare you do this to me?! I was once part of the Kai royal family—"
"—Until you decided to conspire with the same blood from Hell's Royalists to do away with your half-sister. You went too far into controlling the actions of Sylvanus Thrippe until you sent his inbred children to kill him during his mission to Harkonnen. I never forget the actions of those who usurp a witch's things and abuse them to dangerous ends. And what about the new god of this entire nest of planets, pray tell? You threatened to blackmail him, kidnap him, and even kill him because you fear the golden age that the Destiny of Worlds will bring. As for what you'll be doing, the bars of soap will be falling down after you return to Belbe Citadel on Gehenna."
"I'll escape again and when I do, I'll get my revenge on Sam for putting me through crap and he'll be wishing that—"
At that moment, Odette placed a transportation hex on Sawney as she performed an incantation to send him back to where he came from. With Sawney vanishing without a trace, Dean and Lollia were thankful that the worst was over, but dealing with another witch was something that they didn't need right now… or do they?
"Sawney has left the building," said Dean.
"I've heard of you before, Dean Winchester," said Odette. "You're the first acolyte of the new god, which is a far cry than being your past self being the vessel of Apocalypse Michael in the Elder Days."
"Oh, don't remind me. I looked at those old Supernatural books when I was in Mithrandir on Shiganshina and that was when the Impala broke down."
"Odette Clarke," said Lollia. "I know that you're looking for the Vesper Grimoire here in this villa, but Cesare keeps it in a display case. Even Rowena might want to steal it from you under your nose."
"Do you think that Rowena can use the Vesper Grimoire? She wouldn't even look into it because of the fact that I'm the only one who can access its magic."
Without warning, Dean and the others saw another hex bag being tossed in front of them as it bound them where they stood. What they didn't expect was that Vera was waiting for them as she was willing to defend the man who kept other women prisoner while breeding them like cattle. Anger flooded her as she wasn't about to let everyone go after Cesare, for she refused to let go of what she perceives to be known as love to her.
"A puny little hex bag won't contain us too lightly," said Odette. "As for your futile attempt to defend the man who stole women to breed his kin and sell them to either slavery or on a Leviathan's buffet table, it won't last because there will be a reckoning in the form of Cesare's downfall."
"Liar!" yelled Vera. "I know that Cesare is a good man and he loves me with such dignity."
"What dignity does a cruel man give you?" said Lollia. "He gives you all the flowers, chocolates, and broken promises, but all he'll give you is nothing in return but bruises, broken bones, and a crushed spirit."
"I know you… You're the one that Cesare gave his pleasure to, for it is God's will that you bear his seed."
"Let me remind you that I played the part of the rape victim, for I've been working undercover to shut his operation down."
"I won't let you bring harm to Cesare!"
It wasn't long until Dean and the others were released from their prison as Rowena entered while picking up the hex bag from the floor. With a match in her hand, she burnt it as it smoldered onto the cement floor in which she was not too happy with what Vera was doing. At that moment, she bound the girl as she was ready to do her worst until she was stopped by Odette, who was wanting to get back what was stolen from her.
"Out of my way, Odette," she said.
"And do what, Rowena? Turn that little brat into a frog?" she said. "Therefore, I'm looking for what is taken away from me and that is the Vesper Grimoire."
"And you can have it because I won't look into such magic such as that. As for the thief who plundered hex bags for her master, her fate will be webbed because it is something which was the same fate that happened to Julilla before she met her demise in the Sol-2."
"Project Apollo and Project Ra are already scrapped, but Project Amaterasu and Project Helios are still up in the air," said Dean. "The Executive Division is gaining ground while they lust after my little brother, whose god status makes him an easy target."
"We can do that at another time," said Lollia as she used a stun gun to knock out Vera. "You can get back the Vesper Grimoire and put Cesare in his place, for he was getting it coming in the long run. As for a certain Knight of Heaven crashing the pool party in this place, he's giving Sam leeway just to stop Cesare due to his mission in tow."
Dean rushed upward to the main stairs of the villa as he couldn't let me get hurt in this long night of trouble. He wasn't about to let me go quietly as he was about to fear the worst so far, for he was worried about what would happen next if I wasn't careful. Little did everyone know was that Rowena saw an image of Torune appear as he was there for a reason in which he was most likely to be telling her something, but what?
"The Savior must have access to the Vesper Grimoire before the night ends," he said as he vanishes.
Rowena became concerned about Torune's warning as she had her own reasons to plunder the Vesper Grimoire from Odette's hands. Still, she couldn't shake the fact that she had to get to me first before Odette for the book as she was aware of the consequences that could loom if not met...
Elise and I followed Chitorin into an area that was similar to the last torture dungeon that we escaped from. It was something that I fully loathed as I smelled the impending stench of blood, urine, and feces was more than enough to cover my nose with my silver hair as I braved the area towards an entry into the kitchen. Even though I was still in it to stop Cesare, I noticed Chitorin sitting down on the steps as she was dreading the worst for the sons she bore for him, for she wanted to get them out of this place after that awakening she experienced earlier. With renewed courage, she was ready to challenge her former master as she was yearning for the chance to be truly free, for it was her wish after all.
"You're worried about something, aren't you?" said Elise.
"I have two children, both boys, that are prized to be the so-called 'elusive Zampano heir,' but there might be others like them," said Chitorin. "I fear for their safety, but I hope that the other women take them out of harm's way. I also worry about how Cesare could act towards them if he manages to warp them in their youth because he is the same like his own father."
"I bet that Cesare gives you special treatment above the rest of the women he used as cattle, but you're like them when it came to being abused."
"After the Gale Canyon incident, Cesare showed up in front of me and Veshka when we were ready to hit the road into our treasure hunting. He was interested into stealing me away not because he wanted to convert and correct me, but because I was fertile enough to bear children…, his children. I refused to go along with it, but he couldn't take no for an answer. When Veshka and I tried to flee, we were met by some of the Terrans that are known as Coyotes who lived in El Zona Norte, but they worked for Abaddon in which they separated us. I saw Veshka being taken away in a stasis pod and never saw her again the moment Cesare sealed the deal and took me away to his homestead on Baratheon. That was when I felt him violating me every step of the way. The feel of his cock inside me was disgusting until I felt his seed taking root. After that, I became pregnant with my first child in which I bore his son, Paolo.
"In the first few months, I was forst to nurse against my will by Cesare even after my son was full from the milk in my breasts. That was when he noticed a group of angels coming to retrieve me in which he left his own homestead and came here to the Sprawl on Lannister. Therefore, I had limited movement, but day after day, Cesare came back with more women whom he thinks that they needed to be converted and corrected just to bear children to sell to the highest slaver that came and went on Lannister and Claudius. Yes, I felt Cesare raping me again and again until I bore a second son in which I had to make my presence known all over the place and surrounded by his servants. Therefore, my captivity wasn't the usual peaches and cream type when it came to Cesare beating me up every time I get out of line. He even had the gall to cut off my hair and burn off the anti-possession tattoo that I had."
"That vile bastard," I said. "He has no right into attacking you, a young mother, like that. What he is doing can even make Ippei turn in his grave right now."
"There was nothing you could've done, Sam. Therefore, I'm hoping that Cesare gets it coming to him after the hell I went through. For a long time now, I had my spirit crushed by that prick in which I even had to see him jack off or perhaps force me to suck on his cock all because he enjoyed the feel of my mouth all over it."
"Well, you could've bit it off if you wanted," said Elise.
"It wouldn't make a difference anyway because he was the dominant one and I was a weakling until that awakening inside me became unveiled with a set of wings." Chitorin stands up as she went towards the door. "We keep moving forward and never looking back because family doesn't end with blood."
With that renewal of confidence, we followed Chitorin into the kitchen as we were more than likely to find Cesare off guard. Even though the mission was complicated from the start, it needed to be completed as the downfall of such a misogynistic prick was waiting in the wings in this long battle ahead…
Iriniel was busy freeing the women and children that were kept in their prison cells as he also noticed Chitorin's children with them. He also sensed good in them as they were also meant to be defiers of their fate the moment he saw them being held by the women who broke out. Even though his work was getting more harder by the seconds, he heard the sounds of gnawing approaching as he knew of them to be a familiar form of monsters. He spotted one of them directly as it was a woman whose mouth opened up to be a maw while feasting on one of the guards' corpses he did away with. Even though they were here for a brutal reason, they were also there to display their hunger as they spotted the freed prisoners and children. Just as the woman with the maw was about to strike, Yashamaru appeared as he used the wire part of his vajra to slice off her head the moment he used an incantation to dissolve it in time.
"It's about damn time that you showed up, Yashamaru," said Iriniel. "We have company in the form of Bottom Feeders straight out of Purgatory here in this place."
"The Leviathan horde who came here has gotten ravenous," he said as he put away his vajra.
"Sam will know anyway, for they aren't the types that can be reasoned with."
"They demand payment in food, but they will soon wear out their welcome."
"As long as we don't end at a buffet table, we'll be fine. Leviathans were the worst in Dad's creations in which Pendragon issued him an ultimatum: either force them out or he would. And that's where Purgatory stands when it came to them being imprisoned on the sly."
It wasn't long until two more Leviathans appeared as Yashamaru feared the worst. With his vajra in his hand, he was ready to decapitate them as they opened up their mouths in order to satisfy their endless hunger. Just as they were ready to be feasting, a form of magic reduced them into dust as Odette came forth in which she was still looking for the Vesper Grimoire as planned. Still, like most of us, she hated the presence of Leviathans as they were also a nuisance in which they were the worst of the monsters that were fought over the years.
"I really hate Leviathans," she said.
"Odette Clarke of the Vesper Coven," said Yashamaru. "It seems that you're looking for the Vesper Grimoire that Cesare stole from you."
"Cesare will pay the piper for what he's done to the cargo you just released. As for our other problem, we should prepare for the worst." Odette fishes out a blade made of bone from the hilt attached to the belt of her dress. "I've come prepared for this because the weapon in my hand is also the one that killed Dick Roman in the Elder Days."
"The Bone of the Righteous…," said Iriniel. "It was made from a bone of a righteous mortal while washed in the blood of three fallen beings: the blood of a fallen angel, the blood of an alpha monster, and the blood of the King of Hell. You should also be careful with that thing or else you will end up on a one-way ride to Purgatory."
More Leviathans were coming as Odette was ready to fight them off. She had a loathing for Leviathans as she had her reasons to stop them the moment they arrived at the villa, but she wasn't ready to throw in the towel yet in this battle.
"Take the women and children out of here! This villa is not safe for them anyway!" she yelled.
Yashamaru and Iriniel obeyed as they used their powers to teleport all of the prisoners away from the villa in the nick of time. Armed with the Bone of the Righteous, Odette used a magical incantation on it as she destroyed them in their tracks in nothing but black ooze and ashen bones. Still, she had her work cut out for her as she rushed upstairs to the dining room where she spotted some of the servants in the villa dead with their bodies delved into with their innards removed. She had a gut feeling that the remainder of them would be sniffing out for more fresh meat in their path as she had to make her way to the main hall, for the further intruders were very hungry in their insatiable lust for food…
Kazuo arrived on Targaryen as he was searching for me, but to no avail. Even though he returned from Crixus, he was also concerned about my safety as he was making his way through my temporary home in which he spotted Akemi standing in front of the gate in which she was aware of his presence. She knew of him very well as he was no stranger to seeing her out in the open, for she didn't want any more interference from those who would dampen my chances into fulfilling my mission nonetheless.
"Sam's not here right now, Kazuo," she said.
"I see that he took off to Lannister towards the Sprawl," he answered.
"I know that you want to protect him, but you should let Sam run free to fulfill what he is sent to do at. Otherwise, this form of overprotection will end up weighing him down if we're not careful."
"I already had a lecture from Reuben about this debacle, but I can't let Sam suffer under the pressure of being targeted by those who would abuse him to no end."
"You continue to provide bodyguards to him despite his chances into doing things alone, but you should know better, Kazuo. I've known his past self and Dean's for a long time now, but there will be a time when he will end up backed in a corner, only to come back up again. He's alerady did away with Tobias Wetzel and Julilla Paxton, who were the main heavies who started the Second Galvanic Uprising in the first place."
"This isn't why I came here, Akemi. From what I heard from some of the shady marketers here, SucroCorp's finest just arrived to the Sprawl on Lannister in which they have dirty dealings with Cesare Zampano personally."
Kazuo fished out a pocket rom disc as he got out a mini-projector in which he inserted it directly. In that moment, he showed Akemi images of young children that were born and bred to no end as they were being sold as food to the likes of SucroCorp and its businesses on Harkonnen. When they saw some of them being lured into a room with a rusty door, the sounds of children's screams were heard as Akemi was appalled to see this, for she knew of what went on in the Elder Days when it came to a certain enemy on the horizon.
"It had to be them of all people," she said. "They may have adapted to their surroundings on Harkonnen, but their endless gluttony is what drives them to no end at all."
"A Leviathan horde was dispatched to Lannister just to collect their prime cuts of the day," said Kazuo. "If Sam sees them, it will spell big trouble for his mission to stop Cesare and his ugly habits in the Sprawl."
"I've heard of SucroCorp before… in the Elder Days in which they were hell-bent on turning Earth's human population into cattle just to make them docile with the formula that was once used to make them stoned and hungry at the same time. It happen to Dean's past self when his brother told me about how he became obsessed over the Biggerson's new sandwich, the Pepperjack Turducken Slammer, which had an ooze that made one hungry for more."
"Well they're not into dousing people with that same grey ooze anytime soon, but their main reasons to collect cattle-bred children in their ranks is to grow them, breed them and even—"
"—Eat them? It's what Leviathans do, no matter how many times they try to cut down on their diet and that is something that they're used to the moment Castiel let them out without warning in the Elder Days. They're dangerous and clever, but—"
"—Lost their ability to shapeshift, but not their appetite. Seeing a Leviathan horde in the Sprawl will cause damage to the Trelawney Family's already trashed reputation, but let's hope that Sam fulfills his mission in this messy debacle..."
Kazuo was being a little lenient towards my actions as he was also aware of what I would do with the raw power that I had. Even though he talked to Akemi about the Leviathan debacle, he was making his way into the main yard of my temporary home as he was more than likely to be visited by an annoying presence who caught up to him on the sly. It was Izunia himself as he was not about to let Kazuo shirk his duty into keeping me on a short leash in which he was not the type to be messed with, for he was no stranger to the terror that entered into Lannisterian airspace in the first place.
"You're loosening the leash on Sam, aren't you?" he said.
"He knows what he's doing, Izunia," said Kazuo.
"'Knows what he's doing?' I've been to the Sprawl on Lannister and the worst of the worst will end up either stealing him blind or killing him in some alleyway."
"He's on a mission to put an end to Cesare Zampano and his illegal activities that caught the eye of the Sprawl's governor, who gave him an eviction notice not too long ago."
"Let me remind you that I visited Dean in the Dabb Mountains on Shiganshina just to go there after he received a letter from Dvora about Sam's mission to the Sprawl. Even though you try to loosen the leash on Sam, he must be protected at all costs or else we all fall in the end. We can't lose the new god in this war because of the fact that the Red Inquisition was on his trail in that squallid hellhole on Lannister not too long ago, but fled. Therefore, those pricks in red holy robes won't stop until they make our Golden Boy say yes into becoming Lucifer's vessel in this ongoing war. Sam must be protected from such malignancies or else we not only lose the war, but there will be widespread destruction all over this galaxy. Do you honestly want that on your record of conscience or are you willing to do your part into keeping Sam safe?"
Kazuo was in a quandary as Izunia's words were a warning and wake-up call to what was truly going on all over. When he saw Izunia fish out a SIM-Tron chip, he gave it to him as he had a gut feeling that the Executive Division were up to their old tricks while spying on me, for they were interested into seeing my every move on the Sprawl as well. This was a blow to Kazuo's attempts to keep me partially sane as he had no other choice but to heed Izunia's advice when it came to keeping me safe from harm. Staring at that SIM-Tron chip, he saw a red dot on it as he noticed it to be something that the Red Inquisition could bring up. Getting out the pocket rom disc out of the mini-projector, he inserted the SIM-Tron chip into it as he saw images of a tower on Alecrast in which it was covered in a thick mist. What he didn't expect was that there were several members of the Red Inquisition arriving there as they were standing in front of a bronze statue that bore the likeness of Lucifer, but with a set of wings. He loathed the Red Inquisition even more as he feared for my safety due to their unholy obsession to resurrect the worst archangel in the lot of God's finest, for there would be either a reckoning or a silver lining for the new god on the line.
"You should be looking at the signs carefully, Kazuo," said Izunia cautiously.
"I've seen that tower before, in which it is known as the Devil's Mist," he said.
"The Devil's Mist sure has its presence known…, to Lucifer worshipers, that is..."
"It was also the lightning rod where Lucifer emerged the moment he was once revived to cause havoc in the galaxy. It was also said that he was meant to challenge someone other than Michael in both normal and apocalyptic versions of him, but it came to the shoulders of one High Elf who was caught in the middle of the devil's wrath."
"Torune Mitani… He's no longer here in this life, but there won't be another like him to face off against Lucifer if he is released from his cage."
"There is…, but he's gonna have to get used to the helicopter parenting around him when it comes to those who are willing to abuse what he has. Sam may be up and about, but the dark forces who want every inch of him for themselves won't let up until he is forced to do what they want. It's the truth, for it's also a warning on the horizon."
Izunia's warning was a wake-up call as Kazuo had no other choice but to rescind his reasons to allow me to walk freely. Even though he wanted me to have a sense of freedom instead of being confined, he had no other choice but to tell me the worst once I got back from my mission, for he had no choice in the matter on the sly…
Elise and I went towards the main hall of Cesare's villa as we followed Chitorin to where the display case was. What we saw was none other than the Vesper Grimoire in a crimson cover as it was on display in its glass case. Still, I was there to put an end to Cesare's brutality to women as I went upstairs to the western area in which I sensed trouble looming from within. When I went towards a door above the ceiling, I opened it up as I went up towards the secret compartment to find a shocking discovery. To my shock, I saw two women chained to their beds as they were also heavy with child until I smelled a terrible stench that came from a coffin that was put against a wall. Opening it up, I saw a mummified corpse of a woman as she was bound and clutching a cross in her hands, for I also had to salt and burn it after the mission was over. Turning around, I saw Cesare standing in front of me as he was brimming with fury in which he wanted the intruders to leave, for this was his villa that was about to fall so far.
"Here comes the uomo dai capelli argentati that admires my wife so nicely," he said to me. "You invaded my home and now, you'll pay for breaking into it."
"You're not just breeding women to bear your heirs, but to sell them to satisfy your extravagant lifestyle," I said. "And for the two women chained to their beds, they look young enough to be your daughters, but you decided to force yourself onto them so they can become pregnant with what you can sell to your benefactors. As for what you've done to Chitorin, you broke her, violated her, and even forced her to bear your children that you procured the moment you captured her and caused the downfall to her lover."
"Yes, I breed and I sell, only to keep the likes of those Harkonnen sharks happy. Even though I live in disgrace from my family, I have the means to bring my sons into the future while I overthrow that impudent puttana of a governor and her family along with her. I came here just to hide away from my pursuers, but you of all people from the Order had the gall to come here and destroy my life here in the Sprawl!"
"And keep your daughters bound while you impregnate them against their will?!" My raw power began to charge up as I was ready to let him have it. "You are nothing more than someone on the same level as the monsters who attack the innocent!"
I used my raw power to free the women who were bound to their beds as they sat up and noticed Cesare getting ready to pounce the moment he brought out a hex bag and tossed at my feet. With the power of witching magic binding me, I was unable to move as I saw Cesare draw out a knife in order to kill me on sight. I was done for as my mission would end in failure the moment I closed my eyes. I was fearing the worst until I heard a gunshot shooting in the distance. To my shock, I saw Cesare clutching at the hand that he held his knife in as he was seething in pain and anger. What I didn't expect was that Chitorin was there as she was armed with a gun of her own in which she wasn't about to take any more of his misery towards her.
"Don't even think of taking a step closer, Cesare!" she yelled as she kicked the hex bag out of the way. "Your reign of terror here in the Sprawl is over, but I bet the things you pilfered will fetch at a high price once you're rotting in prison!"
"Get back in your place, puttana!" he shrieked.
"No, it's time that I put you in yours!" The angelic aura from earlier surrounded Chitorin as she was ready to let Cesare have it. "I can see now that I have Nephilim capabilities in which I sense an angel doing your dirty work into freeing the bastards that you keep pawning off! As for that woman you raped, she was an undercover cop trying to arrest you for what you're doing, for karma has bitten you in the ass after all those years of taking women and breeding them like cattle!"
"Traditore! Traditore! TRADITORE!"
"Your time here's over, Cesare," I said as I stepped free from the witching magic of the hex bag the moment I used my raw power to destroy it. "The women here will be free and their children you forced upon them will have a chance of living without you!"
I was using my raw power to blast at Cesare as he fell to the ground the moment I struck at him. He was reeling from the pain as I was ready to do my worst. Just as I was about to finish him off, I was stopped by Chitorin as she noticed him coughing up blood in which he was getting what he deserved for his treatment towards women. By the time Elise showed up, she saw the freed women scared out of their minds as they didn't know what to do after that, for they were staring at their fallen father who was now in full disgrace indeed.
"What did you do?" she asked me.
"Cesare had it coming," I said. "Therefore, my mission is done here."
"Guess again…," said Iriniel as he appeared out of nowhere. "You may have put Cesare in his place, but there's a group of monsters at the front door right now."
"Monsters?" said Chitorin.
"There's a group of Leviathans at the villa in which they ended up eating the guards who were under Rowena's spell by the time the break-in started."
"And they came all the way from Harkonnen to collect…," said Elise as she got out one of her arrows. "Aunt Selina told me all about them in which they can't be killed with conventional weapons other than what we dip our arrows into if the time came."
Without warning, I heard a crashing into the villa's front doors of the main hall as I noticed a group of Leviathans sniffing out for further victims just to satisfy their endless hunger. They knew of me very well as they weren't the types to forget that incident on Gehenna three years prior. I was more than ready for them as I saw them open up their outstretched maws in which they were ready to attack me. Just as they were about to do so, they were met with arrows as they felt their necks bubbling due to what was dipped onto the tips of them. With more of them advancing, I ended up changing into my ultimate form as I obliterated them in one fell swoop. It was a great victory as I returned to the main hall where I was ready to take back the Vesper Grimoire until I noticed Odette pilfering it just in time to get away from this mess.
"I got what I wanted, Sam," she said.
"It seems that you're familiar of my presence," I answered.
"Everyone's familiar with your presence, but the book I'm stealing back is the one that should never be used by anyone who is foolish to abuse its magic. Even Rowena has a loathing for it due to it being heavily warded against other witches who are aware of its magic to dominate one to subjugation against one's will."
"It's a good thing that you have it back, but my work is done already."
It wasn't long until Rowena showed up as she snatched the book away from Odette's hands in which she had to live up to fulfilling what Torune told her to do. Opening it up, she saw the book glowing as it gave me more power than what I was used to in which I changed into a much more powerful form in which I unleashed a power surge that shot a hole in the ceiling and into the starry sky. Staring at Rowena, Odette was ready to be on the attack until she saw the image of Torune standing in front of her before he vanished once again, for his presence made me more like a god than a human with just a jeweled sigil on my forehead.
"I opened up yer book, Odette," she said
"I know now of why it is the will of what the gods brought out," she answered.
Elise and Chitorin saw me in my most powerful form as they didn't know what to think until I returned to my usual super-charged form with the silver hair on my head. By the time I collapsed onto the floor with exhaustion, everyone saw several people in riot gear burst in as they went and did a raid on the villa the moment they saw Cesare all damaged from his injuries. With another opportunity to be free, Chitorin walked towards the battered master of the villa as she kicked him in the place where it hurts the most in which he was grabbing at his pained crotch.
"That was for separating me from Veshka, you son-of-a-bitch!" she yelled.
"That's enough," said Lollia as she rushed into the room. "We'll do the rest here, but you should get back home before it escalates."
It was all over as I was relieved to see Cesare's downfall in the worst way. Still, I had that raw power at my disposal as I wanted to go home after all that toil, for my mission was complete after all…
I woke up in a different room that was different than the one in my hotel as I saw it to be a mixture of steampunk and art deco. Laying in a bed that was shaped like the Batmobile, I was up on my feet as I saw the door open up in which I saw Dean enter the moment he was there to confess why he tried to interfere with the mission I had. Still, no matter how many times I tried to get away from him, he would be there right behind me as he refused to budge just much worse in this day and age.
"I had a feeling that you would show up," I said as I felt my knees buckling.
"I need to tell you something, Sam," said Dean.
"It will have to wait because once I get around, I'll be returning back to Targaryen after that debacle went out of hand last night."
"Do you know of Izunia Mavalia? He's the guy who told me about what could've went down and furthermore, I ran into one of Kazuo's grandkids in which I got a thumbdrive about the Red Inquisition and their dirty tricks. And another thing, Lollia's been scaling Cesare's villa and she found more than just brood mares and children up for wholesale. He was using them to sell for food for SucroCorp on Harkonnen in which he owed money to them just to keep himself afloat. It's nice to see Chitorin again, but she's setting up an auction to sell off some of the valuables in the villa before they end up becoming evidence for the Intergalactic Space Patrol."
"It's good enough to hear..."
"Hey, we're not done talking yet, Sammy." He sees get up to go to the bathroom. "It was one long night, but the denizens of the Sprawl had a powwow about your future as a god. They said that you've become more powerful than what is perceived to be and I'm blessed for seeing you enter into the world with that surge of raw power."
"I have to use it, Dean."
I closed the door behind me as I did my business the moment I flipped the toilet seat up. After I finished relieving myself, I flushed the toilet and washed my hands the moment I left the bathroom and left out of the room I was in. What I didn't expect was that I was in the governor's palace as I saw a lot of mixture in the form of steampunk and art deco all over the walls. By the time I went outside, I saw plenty of rich collectors in a row as they were bidding on what was valuable in Cesare's villa during the raid. Even though a dark cloud was lifted from the Sprawl, I spotted Vera standing in front of me as she had nothing but anger towards me, for she wanted Cesare to return here once more.
"You should've never came here," she said to me. "What you did was take our hope away last night when you struck my Cesare down."
"He had it coming when he was selling his own kin from other women to the same monsters who burst into the villa and ate everything in front," I said.
"And what about you, Sam?! You ruined everything that was given to us, only to have it taken away!"
"Are you saying that everything should go back the way it was?"
"It's better that way because Cesare gave us a future to—"
"Cesare gave you nothing in return! He abused his captives to no end, including Chitorin, who had the gall to kick the crap out of him where it hurts the most. Lollia has contacted your family and you will be returning home after that ridiculous folly. You can't just cling to an abusive person who has no dignity or respect for you and that's the truth."
"Just go away, alright? Just…, GO AWAY! You're nothing more than a monster! You destroy everything you touch, only to have it corrode in front of you!"
I was shocked to hear Vera's words as they were like a knife to my heart. Just as I was about to leave, I saw Chitorin walk towards Vera as she punched her in the face the moment she fell to the ground and skinning her knees. She wasn't about to let her get away as she threw her against a wall the moment she crashed into a dumpster, for she was ready to let her have it so far.
"You listen to me, Vera!" she yelled. "You may cling to Cesare all you want, but you should move on and get over it! I had my fill with that prick and as for the two sons I bore for him, I'm teaching them a lot more than just strength, but compassion as well, which is something that he didn't have!"
Chitorin put her foot down as she left Vera in a pile of garbage. When she walked towards me, she wasn't about to let me fall under the bus as she had high hopes for me in this time of crisis. Still, she was being courageous in her reasons to rise from the ashes of abuse as she was more than likely to be staying put instead of going home as planned.
"Don't let that little tart get to you, Sam," she said.
"She had a point there when I destroy everything I touch," I said.
"That's not true. When you came here, I was still broken until you caused the downfall of the man who abused me to no end. You brought more than just hope, for you gave me back my dignity and purpose. The remaining women and children will be staying here in the Sprawl just to rebuild what was taken away from them."
"It seems that you'll be needed to be going home soon."
"I would go home, but this place will be suitable for me anyway. My place is here, but I can't abandon my sons or the women who had their half-siblings… or what was left of them… We may have been taken away to be brood mares, but we will always be fixed to fulfill our own dignity in the end."
"It's your decision, Chitorin, but you have your reasons to protect the women who were rescued from that house of horrors last night."
"Sam!"
I saw Elise sprinting towards me as she had a letter in her hand. When she gave it to me, I opened it up as it was a mission to go to Essos for a summit. Still, I had work to do, but I wasn't off the hook yet as I was most likely to be in for a rude awakening once I returned to my temporary home on Targaryen.
"It seems that I'm needed at the Universal Library on Essos," I said.
"That's not all," said Elise. "I heard Dean talking about how he's beefing up the bodyguards around you and you won't like it."
"I had a feeling that he would do that."
"Don't shoot the messenger, but blame Izunia for telling Kazuo the truth while you were gone. I know that you wanna brush off the bodyguards protecting you, but you can't get away from them, no matter what you do."
I went back to the governor's palace as I spotted Dean standing in front of me. Even though he had the last word, I was put under the helicopter parenting debacle once again as I had no other choice but to be bored completely, for this wasn't fun for me at all in this time of war…
