Chapter Four

Bella's P.O.V.

No. This isn't what was supposed to happen. Before me, Esmerella was holding off Tierra with the rest of the demigods supporting her. Team Guardian was fighting Alexa as she laughed maniacally. Then Ash and Maria. Maria was completely decimated by the full brunt of the explosion while Ash stared lifelessly at the ceiling, blood slowly spreading across his white shirt. As a demigod, he wasn't as injured as Maria, but the wounds were beyond anyone's healing, even if Wendy, Healia, Esmerella, Luke, Silvestria, and I combined our powers.

Silvestria fought silently, as opposed to Esmerella and Luke, who unleashed all of their power. Her eyes were covered by the blue hair that fell over, but shiny streaks down her cheeks made me tear up too.

"Stop!" Kayla, a black angel, yelled. She just arrived home, in time to see the commotion going on in the area next to her house. "Black Angel Magic! Explosion!" Alexa shrieked once before exploding, in a fashion not unlike Maria's death. Though her eyes were covered by a strip of cloth, Tierra glanced in our direction. Using that split second, Esmerella unleashed a Healing Dragon Roar on her.

Silvestria trotted over to where I was, leaning over Ash. "Why?!" She cried, falling on top on him. A faint smile was spread over his face, though his eyes were sightless. "Why did you have to leave too!? Don't go…please. No. You promised. That we would go to the Jai reserves and take care of the pandas together! You can't break that. You can't." She sobbed, covering her face. The flower clip in her hair fell slightly, loose.

Esmerella sobbed in Luke's shoulder while I sat there. "If the world is vile and you make it your foe, there is only one thing you can do." The voice annoyed me and I clamped my hands on my ears, trying to block it out.


Normal P.O.V. (In ?)

"What a shame." Mother Nature sighed, trying to stem the flow of tears. The Dragon God stood by gruffly, affected by the loss of his firstborn son. "We should have done something about it."

"What could we do without revealing our existence?" the Dragon God. "It would be even worse for them if we happened to come across their path. Lys will stumble in the dark."


Bella's P.O.V. (An Hour Later…)

I stared at the seven lacrimas Esmerella held out to me. Tierra was in a cage, bound by chains, yet she fought, screaming and kicking like a wild animal. "You don't want to do this, Bella!"

Everyone ignored her, but I sensed something else in her voice. Desperation. I took the lacrimas from Esmerella, ignoring Tierra's fighting. My mind started collapsing, and I fainted. Again.

"Xenos!" I yelled, acting 12 years younger than I really was. Rogue stepped out, catching me in his arms. Or Xenos. I knew him as Xenos. "Where were you?! The meeting was very long!"

"Exactly the reason why I skip it." He smirked playfully at me. "You shouldn't be messing around though, Lys." Lys. He called me Lys. I vaguely remembered that was my name, just like the way I called Rogue Xenos. "You should go see Mother Nature and the Dragon God. I believe their child is due around now?"

"Yep! Their third! I haven't met Ash and Esmerella yet, though I'm sure Bella will be just like them." I smiled. "I should go see them soon."

"They will want your blessing." Xenos said. "I mean, if a child is blessed by the God of Life and Magic, they'll have good luck."

God of Life and Magic. He called me a nonexistent god. The God of Life and Magic and the God of Combat were the two gods that were rumored to be the top two. Unfortunately, they were all but a myth. I opened a portal to where the third and fourth most powerful gods resided and stepped through. Xenos hopped in as well before it could close.

Mother Nature was huddled against a wall, afraid. I was about to ask what happened when Xenos patted me on the shoulder and pointed to the opposite side of the room. A small girl with purple hair and green eyes stood, her eyes wide and unblinking.

"Is that Esmerella?" I asked. Mother Nature shook her head, still afraid. I was confused about the situation still but soon the girl launched herself at the Dragon God.

"She's…terrifying." I blinked at Mother Nature. "That is Bella."

Time Skip to Two Days Later…(At the God's Meeting)

"We must do something about Bella!" Aflame slammed his fist down on the ethereal table. "We have her caged now but we know it won't trap her permanently."

Lucinda nodded. "We're only delaying her rampage but she won't stop until she eliminates our children, the demigods!"

I stood up. As the most powerful God, things like this were within my control. "I will replace Bella. If the world is vile. and you make it your foe, there is only one thing you can do. Sleep eternally. Bellalyse Mariota Pyderi will never return to the life laid out for her." I said. "And she will be the first. The first of the demidemons."

Yells of outrage and protest rang throughout the crowd. Mila of the Heavenly Beings shushed them and said, "Go on."

"I have yet to meet Ash and Esmerella. They won't recognize me as the God of Life and Magic. Some people, even demigods, think it is a myth. And I will erase my own memories." I said this part without looking at Xenos. "Just in case I happen to have my memories scanned. It won't be detected as long as I don't remember it. Our children are suffering from their alter personalities! It is up to us to remove them and let them have a prospering life without the bearing of an alter ego, a chain that bound them to be hidden from the other worlds." I spoke loudly, and through the corner of my eye I saw that some Gods were nodding along. "We will remove them from their bodies. These egos will be known as demidemons. Bella will be the first. Except she won't be called by Bella anymore. This child, is renamed as Tierra, as a reminder that she is the first demidemon, and that she was so powerful her parents were terrified of her."

"I object." Xenos said. "If you're pressed on doing this, I have one request." He looked at me in the eye. "I demand to be with you. I demand to be reborn as a human with a different memory and no recollection of my previous life. Mother Nature, Dragon God, I trust you will fill in our slots."

Time Skip…(Two Days Later)

I stepped up to the cage. Tierra was blindfolded but she still fought like a wild animal. All of the Gods, excluding Mother Nature and the Dragon God had their memories erased of Lys and Xenos. "I am Bellalyse Mariota Pyderi." I spoke out loud. "You are Tierra, of the demidemons. I hereby release you." I opened the door to the cage and Tierra tore out of it. Xenos came up behind me and hugged me.

"Will we meet in the future?" He asked, sadness clear in his voice.

"I don't know. You'll be going by Rogue right?" I walked toward the chamber to where my memory would be erased. "Hopefully. It's quite doubtful though. I have to go now. Ash and Esmerella will want to meet their younger sister soon and it wouldn't do for her to have eighteen year's worth of memories."

Xenos smiled, then ran up to me and pulled me into one final kiss. "I love you Lys."

"I love you too, Xenos."

I woke up, startled. "I am Lys."


Author's Note: Wow, I know it's short but I got it updated! The next chapter might take a big longer, since it will have a ton of explanations in it. Thanks for reading! Please review!
