Rain poured in the village of Helvarga on Lannister as everyone was indoors during the storm. Even though it was the last day of it, a typical home near a stream was bustling with activity of the strangest sorts. Inside of the home, there was a young woman out of college dressed in a nightgown drawing in one of her sketchbooks as she was seeing the art of me and Reiko flourishing the moment she finished her picture. The nudity of us enticed her to no end as she couldn't get enough of her budding sexuality, even if she lived alone for a long time. Rushing into the bathroom, she went towards a mirror as she was staring at it in which she took off her nightgown and showed off her bra and underwear. Her excitement over drawing me and Reiko enticed her to even take off her underclothes as she exposed her breasts and lower part in which she opened up a drawer near the sink and got out a tube of lubricant the moment she opened it up and squeezed some out on the tip of her finger.

Laying on her back on the cold tile floor, she began to touch at the soft flesh between her legs as she was thinking about the drawing of me and Reiko that she drew earlier. The sight of us naked in such a risque sexual position made her moan with pleasure to the point of wanting more of what she was seeing. She was in the throes of pleasure as she continued to finger herself to the point of gushing in which she was happy to be thinking about what she drew. By the time she got up, she picked up her underclothes the moment she placed them into the hamper while getting back on her nightgown after she left the bathroom. Returning to her room, she laid down on her bed as she drifted into a deep sleep until she heard a knock on the door. Getting up, she rushed into her living room as she went to the front door to answer it, but there was no one outside. Closing the door behind her, she returned to her room as she noticed someone dressed in a black cloak standing there in which it was none other than a young man who stared at her breasts that were big beneath her nightgown. He was someone who had a crush on her as he was eager to give the head start before delving in under the radar of marriage.

"Roderick Tinker," she said. "You shouldn't be playing pranks like that, even though I'm about to go to bed soon."

"C'mon, Tori," he said. "I can't be bottled up even when we're still in the same college in the village. Yes, we graduated from school, flashed our diplomas, and eventually kept our sexuality in a bottle under the guidance of some of the townsfolk, but I want a headstart."

"A headstart? I haven't lost my virginity yet and neither did you, but those Rakuen people were eyeing us after they showed up at our graduation."

"Tori…, I know that you lost your parents at a young age and thrived alone in this house, but it's about time that you get more experience in your endeavor."

At that point, Tori laid down on her back as she noticed Roderick exposing her breasts in which he began to suck on one of them. The feel of his mouth on her nipple made her more aroused than ever as she even felt the escape of milk flowing from it. She never felt anything like it before as she wasn't even pregnant, either. When she saw Roderick detach, he sucked onto the other breast as he was making the milk flow in which he was most likely to be giving her pleasure on her wedding night. When he detached again, he was touching at her nipples as he wanted to take her so badly. He was content as he couldn't help himself to doing his duty before marriage, for it could be a proxy thing at the behest of the Rakuen Priesthood as well.

"What are you doing?" asked Tori as she saw Roderick remove the cloak to expose his naked body. "We can't do that before our wedding night, you know."

"The rules have changed, Tori," he said. "Those Rakuen guys got out a marriage license and wedded us by proxy on the spot. I even heard talk about how those people in your erotic drawings are leading this galaxy into a golden age in which they can have an impact on us."

It wasn't long until Tori was ready to let Roderick take her until she woke up in the middle of the night. The sound of lightning in the distance jolted her awake as she had a dream about her childhood friend suckling on her breasts earlier. Sitting up, she looked at the sketchbook on the desk as she grabbed it while looking at the erotic drawings that she drew earlier in which she was in dire need of a sexual awakening, for she ached for it even after she graduated from college in this village…

It had been three days since the villa raid in the Sprawl on Lannister as I was on my way back to the Order of Letters ship that was parked there. Even though I had further bodyguard detail with Dean returning to Shiganshina and the other denizens who aided us rebuilding the lives of the captive women from Cesare Zampano's clutches, I was returning to my ship as I had to go home as planned. Staring at the letter that I received three days ago, I had to go to Essos first as I was ready to go until I spotted Olivia and her entourage standing in front of me.

"It seems that you're on a much shorter leash, Sam," she said to me.

"I hate being overprotected sometimes and it gets too stuffy," I said.

"You can blame Kazuo for rescinding your freedom for that."

"Kazuo should get his ass kicked and his smug face shoved into the mud, but if I did that, then I'll end up with my eyes melted from my skull."

"I wouldn't underestimate Kazuo if I were you. As for those two witches, they decided to put that Vesper Grimoire away in their collection of looted trinkets that were confiscated from Cesare's villa. As for the Leviathan debacle and Cesare's dirty dealings, we have ways to clean up their mess and once his looted trinkets are sold off…," An explosion was heard in the distance as I noticed a plume of smoke coming from where the villa once stood. "The rest is up in smoke after all that is happened."

"You destroyed the villa, didn't you?"

"I had no other choice, Sam. If a house of horrors is on my turf, it's my action to destroy it before vengeful spirits take root and cause havoc. As for the remaining women and children, they will have to have better opportunities if they're gonna make it further on this planet."

"I see what you mean, for the villa was a chamber of horrors. Even though my mission is over, I'm going towards Essos as planned."

"Not quite, Sam." Olivia fishes out a letter as she gives it to me. "You might wanna take a trip to Helvarga, which north from here. The locals there want your guidance about the arrangement that the Rakuen Priesthood set up. Have you heard of Gregory Tinker? He was originally from Alecrast, but decided to stay here on Lannister just to retire from his service in the military. He married, had children, and even established a bakery, but his son's in the running to marry the lone girl who has an obsession of drawing erotic art of you and that Elf wife of yours. The girl herself goes by the name of Tori Gardner, who lost her parents when they died in a mining accident years ago when she was young. A wedding that the Rakuen Priesthood sets up can't be avoided, Sam, for it is the will of what the future holds."

It wasn't long until Olivia gave me a piece of paper as it contained an erotic image of me and Reiko naked and in a sexual position. With the summer months coming, I was also worrying about the upcoming anniversary that I had with the woman I loved as I had no other choice but to tough it out a bit. When I entered into the Order of Letters ship, I spotted Elise returning with her weapons as she was ready to go, but we would soon part ways once the ship returns to Targaryen. I never wanted to leave her hanging, but I had no choice but to go towards Helvarga as soon as possible.

"It seems that you're staying put instead of going back to Targaryen," she said.

"I know, but there's business in Helvarga that I must tend to," I said.

"You're going to Helvarga?! It's the epicenter of all things Supernatural despite the fact that the elders of that place are all crotchety nimrods who don't get along with the times. Everyone knows that some of the Supernatural stuff goes beyond comprehension when it comes to fans dressed in flannel while getting into some pie."

"I'm not going there for pleasure, but I have to officiate a wedding to Gregory Tinker's son and his betrothed by the name of Tori Gardner, whose parents were killed in a mining accident years ago. I know that you want me to revel in the festivities, but I can't stray from my duties."

"Well, I can't stray away from mine because I got bumped into becoming your new bodyguard just now. Dean told me to protect you before he left for Shiganshina because Dvora has a bun in the oven."

And so, I was stuck with Elise for the long haul as I had no other choice but to have her with me during my travels for the time being. By the time we left the ship and entered to a transit station, we noticed that there were buses instead of trains as they were coming and going. With the next bus coming to a stop, we got on it while paying our fare due to it going to our destination that we needed to get to as it took off momentarily. What we didn't expect on the bus was Yukiwa as he was there with a stack of books in his bag, for he was more than likely to be returning to Essos after his own mission soon enough.

"Long time, no see, Sam," he said to me. "I just got the last of the Nephilim Arc, but I was wanting to go to the latest Supernatural convention in Helvarga. The books that I have in my bag continue with Wayward Sisters, Breakdown, Various & Sundry Villains, Devil's Bargain, Good Intentions, A Most Holy Man, ScoobyNatural, The Thing, Bring 'em Back Alive, Funeralia, Unfinished Business, Beat the Devil, Exodus, and Let the Good Times Roll. There are other volumes of those Supernatural books hidden in odd places, but I hope to get them all and permabind them in the Universal Library on Essos."

"You're doing a good job, but I'm not going to Helvarga for fun," I said.

"Don't be a stick in the mud. You have all that time to play, but according to some of the locals, a High Elf with silver hair like yours was recently spotted in that village, but she wanted to wait until her Sammy came there."

I was stunned to hear about Reiko's whereabouts as I was on my way there to Helvarga to see her. Still, I was also feeling the weight of our wedding anniversary as I wanted to take her before the day was over, for I would soon see her the moment I get to my destination. Just as the bus was about to go to the village, it stopped at a bus stop as I noticed Reiko arriving in which I noticed her pay her fare and sit next to me in the back. It was an awkward moment, but I was more than likely to be in my wife's gentle company in this long trip. Even Elise was happy to see me with Reiko as she knew of our presence very well, for we were the Destiny of Worlds after all.

"Looks like the lady of the house decided to tag along," she said.

"I'm here to keep my Sammy in check," said Reiko.

"And you're tagging along with us while he's on business getting ready to officiate a wedding?"

"It's our wedding anniversary coming up."

"Wedding anniversary? How long have you two been married?"

"We've been married for three years once Sammy came back home to Alecrast. We also have children at home, but they can't be lugged around during our missions."

"You two have kids? And they're at home?"

"We take them on our vacations, but not on our missions," I said. "They're still too young in which they are heavily protected by those that we trust within the Order. We also have orphans, but they are still too young to be on missions except for Dirk, who is no stranger to dealing with what we go up against. As for the rest of the family life that we have, we go on our trips just to do things together and that is what it makes to be wholesome in what we do."

I was making my point as I continued to sit in the back of the bus. Still, I was under the watchful eye of Elise under Dean's behest as I also had a wedding to officiate, for going towards the village of Helvarga was something that I had to do first before leaving Lannister. Even though I had my business to do, I was also going into familiar territory as the village itself hosted a very unusual gathering when it came to the popular Supernatural books that came all over the place in train stations. By the time the bus stopped into Helvarga, we got off as we entered into a calm and quiet place that was now littered with dozens of memorabilia that paid homage to what happened in the time of the Elder Days. Leading the way into a hotel, I paid for a room for Reiko and me as Elise paid for her own, but Yukiwa was more than likely to be elsewhere. Where did he go, one would ask? He was going into a reception hall as he was seeing other people dressed up in flannel and monster makeup setting up shop and merchandise. We were mainly in for the long haul of this convention as this convention we were thrust into was most likely to change everything whether we liked it or not…

Dean was back at his headquarters in the Dabb Mountains on Shiganshina as he resumed his duties with his subordinates. Even though he helped me stop the Leviathan horde from causing much more trouble three days ago, he was hard at work cleaning up his quarters as he finished up vacuuming the floor in the living room. With summer coming here below, he didn't mind the tepid air in the mountains as he was used to living here due to his commitment into shrinking the ranks of the Executive Division. By the time he was ready to get started with making some lunch, he heard the front door open up as he noticed a looming nuisance arriving in the form of Minos Kratedes. The Rendilian had no grudge against him, but he had a grudge against me of all people as he never forgot the death of Reina, for her passing was too much to bear so far.

"I'm all booked up right now," said Dean as he spotted Minos sitting in one of the chairs.

"I bear no grudge against you, Captain, but your brother is a murderer of an innocent like my late grandmother," he said. "You know who I'm talking about because I refuse to let go of a lingering grudge."

"Minos Kratedes in the flesh… You still cling to that grudge against Sam like a toddler clings to his favorite blanket."

"Your brother is still on Lannister, but he wanders free while the spirit of Reina still suffocates!"

"Sam had tremendous respect for your grandmother, even after her death in which he once blamed himself for not being there for her when the Black Dragon Guild took her out."

"I'm here to give you a warning, Dean. My brothers; Stavros, Agrippa, and Varro may have vindicated him, but I won't let him slide with Reina's blood on his hands."

"That's enough, Minos!"

Dean noticed a Rendilian with multicolored hair arriving as he was dressed in a Chinese tunic and trousers while he brandished a sword in his hand. He wasn't too thrilled to seeing Minos act towards my brother as he was itching to use his sword to shred his clothes with it, for he never liked heated confrontations on the sly.

"You shouldn't be insulting the savior, Minos," he said.

"That 'savior' killed our grandmother, Agrippa!" he yelled. "Don't you believe in justice anymore or has that gone to the likes of a certain fat man from old who did nothing but act like a tyrant?!"

"During my travels, I've seen the aftermath of what happens to those who insult the savior and his beloved in which they end up dead with their eyes melted out of their skulls."

"'Eyes melted out of their skulls?'" said Dean. "Looks like the angels pull a lese majeste on those who bad-mouth my little brother all the live long..."

"There was a group of angels who once left alongside the Knights of Heaven after they were banished to the Middle Ground long before the making of sin. They have killed in the name of your brother against the wishes of their former superiors in which they're far worse than the angels from the Elder Days." Agrippa fishes out a letter as he gives it to Dean. "Shion told me to give this to you." Dean opens it up and reads the letter. "The Executive Division is on the move, but they've made their way across the stars just to establish loopholes for those soulless dolls and machines at their disposal."

"Well, we did put a damper on those ass-clowns who were running that place on Stohess."

"They're afraid, Dean. The Executive Division and those like them fear his ascension to leading us to a golden age and that scares them. They're the same as the Old Guard in the Elder Days when they invoked the Hunter Extermination, only to have it shut down after reports of other hunters being targeted and slaughtered. The next base is located in the Tywin Wasteland on Lannister in the south. Sam will be fine just as is..." Agrippa glares at Minos as he wasn't too happy with his brother for causing toil earlier. "As for you, brother dear, I suggest that you leave the savior out of this because he had nothing to do with our grandmother's death and if she saw you now, she would emerge as a vengeful spirit and throw you around like a ragdoll and she will do it, too. We have a war on our hands and we can't just throw the savior under the bus right now, for his abilities will be crucial to win it just to stop our enemies who started it up in the first place."

Minos didn't say another word as Agrippa had the gall to put him in his place for now. As for Dean, on the other hand, he had no choice but to recall the Kurokage from Targaryen as he had a mission of his own to fulfill while I was there on Lannister for a while. War was hell, but we also had no other choice but to endure in this time of crisis…

Reiko and I were in the reception hall as we were looking at the endless pleasure of Supernatural memorabilia that was on display. The figurines of clown figures and hookmen were a top seller, along with a black mug with a highway sign with the words that resembled one of Carver Edlund's novels. Everyone in the reception hall was getting and paying for such items as they were also huge fans of the popular series of books that focused on the time of the Elder Days. Even though I was ready to buy a souvenir, I refrained as I was not only on business here, but I had a crippling fear of some of the figurines that were dressed up in clown makeup, costumes, and red noses. Like my past self, I was also scared of clowns as I never told Reiko about my fear the moment I spotted her picking up one of the figurines in the form of the rakshasa from Everybody Loves a Clown.

"It's cute, but I fear that it will scare you to death," she said as she put the figurine down.

"I had a fear of clowns since I was little," I said.

"Wait! You might not remember this, but when we were waiting at that old bus stop as children in Kanto Village on Alecrast, you were shaking after a group of clowns came to our school once. I even heard grandfather telling me about how Brother left you at that gift shop in the summer days back then."

"In the book, Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie, the Sam of old was left alone at that place while his brother took off to pursue girls," said Elise as she was getting ready to buy a figurine. "He always had an excuse to leave his vulnerable little brother at that Chuck E. Cheese knock-off with stale pizza and clown pictures all over."

It wasn't long until we saw the display of erotic art coming into the reception hall as it was none other than the artwork that depicted me and Reiko in such risque situations. What we didn't expect was that the future bride was there as she was no stranger to drawing such adult art in which she spotted us out in the open. As usual, she was displaying her artwork until she spotted Roderick with some artwork of his own that matched what she was drawing. Still, I had to officiate their nuptials as they were also betrothed to one another due to the Rakuen Priesthood's constant meddling, but for good measure.

"No way…," said Roderick as he turned around and spotted me looking at the crafted artwork on the wall. "That's Sam Winchester in the flesh. My old man told me about him when he served in the Alecrian Army during the First Galvanic Uprising back in the day."

"It could be cosplay," said Tori. "I've seen people dress like him, but his past self was much more sexier with his flannel and even Velma from Scooby-Doo bragged about his shoulders."

"You can't hide the fact that Sam is good looking with his long silver hair today, but you should watch what you say when it comes to people who say bad things about him."

"What do you mean, 'bad things?'"

"I heard reports about people that are critical of the new savior getting killed off in which their eyes have been melted out of their skulls. It's scary, but you have to be careful what you say about him when it comes to his new status as a demigod. I even had to ward my house so I wouldn't have a seeing-eye dog for the rest of my life after all the stories I heard."

I heard Roderick's words clearly as I had a gut feeling that there was an angel that was out of line when it came to the point of even killing in my name. I couldn't let that happen as I had to make sure that the young couple were safe from harm. To my shock, I saw a man dressed up in a grey suit as he was wearing a matching fedora hat in which I noticed him to be an angel due to the aura he displayed in the form of a set of wings. In that moment, I fled the reception hall as I spotted him fleeing into one of the corridors. He was there to cause trouble, but I didn't want him to do so as I couldn't let him bring harm to those who either worship me or criticize me, for this wasn't something that I wanted with my new status as a god.

"You have nowhere to run, so I suggest that you return to your masters," I said.

"You don't know who I am, do you, Sam Winchester?" said the angel as he removed his fedora to reveal blond hair in a ponytail. "Our Father is gone, but His successor will not be mocked whatsoever."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Mitriel and I am one of the subordinates who left with Taraniel and his group of misfits that were kicked out of Heaven. As for what your staunchest critics say about you, I simply blinded them to death as punishment… or perhaps a lethal dealing against lese majeste."

"I don't condone death to those who commit lese majeste against me, both worshiper or critic. As for killing in my name, I suggest that you cease and desist before your superiors catch you in the act melting the eyes of your victims."

"Let me remind you that I am the executioner who plays by my own rules, Sam. I will continue to kill those in your name who belittle you to the brink of death. My Father was merciful in letting things slide before he disappeared, but now that you're the new god of this galaxy, I won't allow anyone else to defame you for no reason. I will go even further into killing those who draw such obscenities like the erotic art that is shown to those who worship you and your beloved Reiko! I won't allow your position to be sullied with such criticism and smut like that, for they will all die by my hands."

"NO ONE WILL KILL IN MY NAME!"

I saw Mitriel fish out an angel blade as he was ready to strike until I was ready to strike back with the raw power that I had. Just as I was about to do so, I noticed Tirzah appearing out of nowhere as she was ready to intervene before anything else happened. She was no stranger to dealing with a ruffian like Mitriel as she wasn't about to let him off the hook right now.

"Hello, Tirzah," he said. "It seems that you followed me in order to silence me"

"You're a wanted man, Mitriel," she said. "For a while, you've been killing people who don't agree with Sam as the new god of the Ashizoka System."

"They were committing blasphemy against him. Someone had to silence them unlike your masters in the Knights of Heaven."

"You heard Sam tell you earlier in which you should obey his orders, not justify your actions by killing those who criticize him."

"Have it your way then, Tirzah, but that won't stop me from carrying out punishment for those who mock our new lord and savior. Our Father destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because the inhabitants mocked his teachings at every turn, only to turn them into ashes." Mitriel glares at me as he wasn't his own reasons justify the means to kill in my name, which I truly abhor. "You may not agree to those who kill in your name, but you don't deserve to be mocked. I will be the sword that will smite those who mock you or take it in vain. Don't take it the wrong way, Sam, for you will see results bear fruit in your name, even if it means by using fear to subjugate those who disobey your ideals. Remember Castiel? He became like my Father, but he slaughtered most of my brethren who were loyal to Raphael and caused widespread wrath to those who don't tow the line."

"I won't condone murder or use fear to subjugate those who criticize me," I said as I put my foot down. "I know that I get tossed into the mud constantly and fall unto despair, but I always get back on my feet plain and simple. As for Castiel's plight, he not only betrayed his friends to acquire his status as God, but he paid the price when the Leviathans were unleashed from Purgatory in the Elder Days. Still, I won't betray those who believe in me, but I won't allow anyone to kill in my name whether it's either angel, demon, or humanoid."

"I won't change my ways, Sam, for I will always strike down those who speak against you in the end..."

I saw Mitriel disappear without a trace as I wasn't too thrilled with him causing havoc with what he continued to demonstrate. I truly loathed the fact that those who kill in my name were actually doing more harm than good to my image as I feared the worst that would come in the form of an angel who demanded me to use fear instead of compassion. I never had anyone become overzealous into killing in my name before, but I would refuse to lay a hand on those who criticize or belittle me at every turn as this was getting out of hand. Just as I was about to return to the reception hall, I saw Tirzah standing in my way as she wasn't about to let me through without a final say yet, for she was concerned about Mitriel's conduct when it came to those who tarnish my reputation at every turn.

"You should be cautious about him, Sam," she said as she got out a box of Pocky from her backpack.

"I don't want anyone tarnishing my name to the point of killing people," I said.

"I'll keep tabs on Mitriel. Besides, don't you have a wedding to officiate first?" I see Tirzah get out two more boxes of Pocky as she gave them to me. "For the new bride and groom. You can't just have everything on your shoulders forever."

I see Tirzah leave without a trace as I returned to the reception hall. With a twist of fate, I was more than likely to intervene in the upcoming nuptials between Tori and Roderick, who drew the usual erotic art that was there. I spotted them in the nick of time just before leaving as I was ready to officiate their wedding as an Elder of the Order, for it was my duty to do so. Even though I was complying to a crucial decree at the behest of the Rakuen Priesthood, I was also more than likely to ignite a passion between me and Reiko later on, for this was one strange day of events so far.

"You missed the page-reading from some of the books from the Nephilim Arc," said Tori.

"Sorry, but I got a little sidetracked," I said.

"Your wife wanted to buy us a wedding gift," said Roderick as he had a bag in his hand.

"It seems that the both of you are in luck." I show Tori and Roderick the two boxes of Pocky as I was ready to officiate the wedding. "Roderick Tinker and Victoria Gardener… Both of you were destined since childhood, especially when the both of you draw the same art."

"You're officiating our wedding when we don't have any wedding cake?" asked Tori. "We're not even in a church with bridesmaids or groomsmen, which can be expensive. Roderick hasn't even bought me a wedding ring yet."

CLINK!

I saw a pair of rings fall as they hit the ground. Picking them up, I noticed them to be wedding rings that were made from a rare gold from the Elder Days due to its blend of colors within it. The rings were Black Hills gold as they had diamonds embedded into them. I was ready to do my duty into marrying the two who had a thing for drawing me and Reiko in such an adult kind of way. Even though the bride and groom didn't wear their usual wedding dress and tuxedo, they didn't mind as they looked at one another with such hungry eyes after that.

"Roderick Tinker, do you take Tori Gardener to be your lawfully wedded wife; for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health till death do you part for as long as you live?"

"I do," he said as he was blushing.

"Tori Gardener, do you take Roderick Tinker to be your lawfully wedded husband; for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health till death do you part for as long as you live?"

"It's not a dream this time…, but I will take him!" she yelled.

"With these rings, you are bound to one another in what the future holds." I put the rings on their fingers as I noticed them stare at the artwork that they drew on display. "From this day forward, by the power invested in me on this day of seeing the genuine sex decorated with paint, colored pencils, or digital arts, I now pronounce you man and wife." I give them the boxes of Pocky. "You may now kiss the one who sketched out what is displayed on the wall."

Roderick got his wish as he kissed Tori with such passion in which I was happy to see them wed on this day. Just as I was about to leave the reception hall, I saw Reiko coming towards me as she had a sketchbook in her hands. Opening it up, she showed me the erotic moments of us on display as I was being overwhelmed by what was in those pages. She was wanting for the night as I couldn't refuse her advances so far, for we were on the cusp of celebrating our wedding anniversary soon enough, for it was dawning in front of us without warning…

A few hours later, Roderick and Tori were in a hotel room as they were in their nightclothes after they were cleaned up and ready to consummate their marriage. They were made for one another as they couldn't get enough of what they drew in which they were itching to do so. I couldn't blame them. They were now married and ready to start a new chapter in their lives as they also had their wares to sell to whoever wanted to look into the typical doujinshi that was drawn in the likeness of the new saviors of the Ashizoka System.

"It's interesting that I would dream this day would come in a long time," said Tori.

"I bet that Dad's happy that I got hitched," said Roderick.

"If we're gonna do this, do it gently, alright?"

It wasn't long until Roderick sat up and stared at Tori in which she was wearing a nightgown that exposed her breasts. He was finally ready to take her as he stripped off his clothes and began to fondle at his new wife. It wasn't long until he exposed Tori's breasts the moment he buried his face into them while he was stroking at the soft flesh between her legs. She was prepared for his entrance as she saw him lift up her nightgown and removed her bloomers in which he wanted to consummate this marriage so quickly. By the time he spread her legs open, he was ready the moment his hard member became engorged with excitement. By the time he crashed through, he was both afraid and excited as he was giving her all the pleasure that was waiting in the wings. He was all over her as he ignited his passion to be with the one he loved for so long. Their passion was heard as Tori was fully sated with Roderick's embrace the moment he felt his seed seeping after that first time. By the time he pulled out of Tori, he saw the blood between her legs as he scooped her up and took her into the bathroom to clean her up. With her nightgown taken off, Tori was ushered into the bathtub as she saw Roderick turn on the water in which he wanted to clean her up after their consummation of their marriage. Just as he was about to do so, he spotted an old book that was in the cabinet of towels and hotel toiletries as he took it out and began to look at it. What he didn't expect was that there were pictures of me and Reiko that were there long before we were even born in this day and age. He wanted to show it to Tori as he watched her turn off the water in the bathtub, for it was a find that was never known until now.

"Here's something that the savior doesn't know about," he said as he showed it to Tori.

"That's a little old for an ancient book," she said as she began to clean the blood from her legs.

"The real kicker is that Sam and Reiko are in it and they weren't even born yet long ago."

"There's a signature on the front of that book." Tori spots it as it was an ancient signature that once belonged to a royal family to a region. "It's from an Alecrian Chieftain who was once spirited from his homeworld on Earth by the Draaza once. The writing is in the Heian text, but it's all extinct from the record books."

"You should see the pictures of Sam and Reiko in it. The art looks like shunga, but there is no presence of a human and Elf in it until I found it."

"Wait, the signature is that of the legendary Mizukawa no Shuzo, who was taken away by the Draaza during the time of the ancients. The guy had a knack for drawing erotic art, but waking up on Alecrast and starting the dynastic legacy in Clavell Valley sure fits the bill. It's strange, but we should show Sam and Reiko this text sooner or later."

Roderick continued to look at the book in his hands as he flipped through the pages of erotic joy in the form of shunga art. Even though it was an old find, he had to show it to me anyway as it was a treasure that foretold a lot of things on the sly…

Reiko and I were in our own hotel room as we were in our beds after a long day. Even though we were cleaned up and in our nightclothes, we were most likely to be expecting trouble after the presence of Mitriel earlier. Before turning in for the night, I was concerned about what could happen next as the encounter with the angel who killed in my name could strike at any moment. I truly loathed the fact about seeing those who would up and kill in my name as it turned my stomach just to think about it, for it was something that I wanted to put a stop to. Even Reiko was concerned about what was happening as she didn't want me to worry about it too much, for it was something that one can't bear right now.

"You're worried about something," she said to me.

"Earlier, I encountered an angel who is slowly slinging mud into my reputation," I said.

"It was that one who killed those who cause you such ill will, isn't he?"

"Mitriel is dangerous. He will stop at nothing to do away with anyone who put me in both sides of the spectrum. I won't let that happen to anyone who either agrees or disagrees with me, not on my watch."

Without warning, I heard a high-pitched sound emanating from all over the hotel as I had a gut feeling that my worst fear could come true. Getting up and running out into the hall, I went towards the room where Roderick and Tori were staying at as I saw Mitriel destroying the door in order to do his worst. Turning around, he stared at me as he was not about to stop in which he viewed those who drew such erotic art about me and Reiko to the point of obscenity.

"It's about time that you showed up, only to see the profaners of such smut on the verge of death," he said. "They have committed blasphemy against you, for they will die by my hand."

I saw the angelic aura surrounding Mitriel as he was ready to kill the newlyweds that I officiated in which his law was absolute to justify his means. With a stroke of courage, I grabbed a pen as I drew on the wall an angel-banishing sigil in which I used it to get rid of the intruder for the time being. With the worst that was over, I rushed into the room as I spotted the bathroom door shut until I noticed Roderick and Tori coming out with the tome that was found in there earlier, for they were most likely to be giving it to me on the spot.

"Is he gone?" asked Tori as she was scared to death.

"The one who tried to kill you won't be coming back to terrorize you for a while," I said.

"We found something in the bathroom," said Roderick as he gave me the book that he found in the bathroom. "It's an old one, but it's a keeper for the record books."

I examined the book carefully as I looked at the pictures that were drawn in the shunga context. The images of me and Reiko were old, but foretelling of our sexual congress as they were centuries old due to the aging of the paper. I even noticed the stamp of a pink chrysanthemum with the signature of Mizukawa no Shuzo placed on it as something like this was never seen before until now, for it would most likely to be put into the Order's archives the moment I returned home.

"This is familiar, but pilfered while in good condition," I said.

"This tome came from an Alecrian Chieftain who came from Earth," said Roderick. "It's odd to find it here, but in the bathroom of this hotel?"

"It seems that whoever had this book and hid it in the bathroom was a crafty one in which this hotel was a hiding place for it."

"It's a good thing that you came for it after that guy tried to kill us earlier," said Tori.

"Mitriel..."

"Sam!"

I spotted Elise sprinting towards me as she was out of breath. With a letter in her hand, she gave it to me as I opened it up and read it in which it was a summons to an inquiry during my mission to the Sprawl. What I didn't expect was that I had to return there as I had no other choice but to do so, for this was something that I had to do as Elder of the Order.

"Lollia sent it to you," said Elise. "She says that you're needed at the precinct court, which is in this village."

"I had a feeling that she would involve me in this mess anyway," I said.

"Well, the inquiry is next month, Sam, but you can't get out of jury duty when it comes to the Intergalactic Space Patrol calling the shots."

It wasn't long until I spotted a group of police cadets arriving as they were being led by a familiar face that was once spirited to Crixus once. Still, she was there to bring me to the inquiry as it was a matter of facing the aftermath of what I witnessed in the Sprawl three days ago. I never wanted to do this, but I had no other choice in the matter, for it was mandatory for me whether I liked it or not.

"It's been a while, Sam," she said as she flashed her badge.
