Gia had teleported to Albedo's research place. She knocked on the door and Klee came running and opened it.
"Who are you?"
"Hello! I'm Gia. Can you get Albedo please?"
"Okay! I'm Klee by the way!" Klee said, running off.
"Big brotheeeer!" she called from inside the house. She heard steps and Albedo opened the door.
"Hi, I'm Gia. I was wondering if you knew where to find The Traveler?"
"Albedo. Why are you looking for her?"
"I wanted to…meet her." Gia said.
"Uh huh…She left for Sumero."
"Alright, thank you!''
"Do you want to stay the night? It's getting late. And how did you know where to find me?"
"Thank you…And I…heard it from someone."
Albedo raised his brow but said, "Come in, I was making soup. It should be just about done."
"That is very kind of you!" Gia said, sitting at the table. Klee came bounding to sit too. A few minutes passed and Albedo announced it was ready. He placed the food down and they ate.
When Gia was finished, she thanked him for the meal, saying how it was good.
"No problem."
"I can sleep on the couch."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, and don't worry about blankets, I can take care of those. She turned around, summoned a portal, and turned back carrying a blanket and a pillow.
"Where did you get that?" Albedo asked.
"It's one of my…abilities to… summon things."
"Like a magician?" Klee asked excitedly.
"Sure, like a magician!"
"Also, for your hospitality, I have a gift for you." Gia said, summoning 2 items into her palm. She handed a stone to Albedo, and she made something, a little bunny stuffed animal, that was alive.
"Woah!" Klee said as the bunny moved in her hand.
Albedo was looking at the stone. It looked like some sort of jade.
"What is it?"
"Well…It can answer 1 question, any question you have."
"Interesting…"
"I hope you guys enjoy them. I'm going to bed, goodnight!" Gia said.
"Goodnight." Albedo said. He brought Klee into her room.
In the morning she was up early. She left a note thanking Albedo and saying how she was leaving. She teleported to Sumero and transformed into a toucan. She flew above and noticed the Harbingers. She swooped down and transformed back. The Harbingers looked surprised at her sudden appearance.
"You can change your form?" Pierro asked.
"I mean she is a god…" Scaramouche said.
"What other powers do you have?" Arlecchino asked.
"Hm… Well for instance, if I was so inclined, I could kill you with a simple touch. I think it works on Archons, but unfortunately, it doesn't work on superior gods like Asmoday… And don't worry, I'm not going to kill you…It's gotten boring."
"GOTTEN BORING? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" a panicked Tartaglia asked.
"Er..that's another thing…I've killed you all at least 4 times…in…other…realities." She practically squeaked.
"Other realities?!" Capitano asked.
"I can go into other realities, yes…I was going to show you how to observe other realities…And I am the god of realities!"
"That does seem interesting." Columbina dreamily said.
"Why did you kill us before?" Pulcinella asked.
"It isn't my fault! Apparently, you didn't like me accidentally exploding some of your important buildings and accidentally killing Pantalone."
"Why did I die?"
"Wrong place wrong time."
He huffed.
"That's a good reason to attack you!" Sandrone said.
"Don't give me those looks!" Gia shouted, the Harbingers looking at her speculatively.
"ANYWAYS, change in plans. How do you think Lu-The Traveler would react if she saw Signora appear after she saw her die in front of her eyes?"
"I'd rather you not do that." Pierro said.
"Your no fun. Fine, go flirt with her Tartaglia."
"Flirt with her? What's that going to do?" Childe asked.
"Your right…it's not that strange…Scaramouche go flirt with her!"
"WHAT?!" Scara shouted as he paled.
Some of the Harbingers snickered.
"That would drive her insane…BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE HER EVEN MORE INSANE?" Gi asked.
"Oh no…don't tell me she's going to say D-" Regrator started to complain.
"DOTTORE GO FLIRT WITH HER!"
"WHAT IS YOUR OBSESSION WITH SOMEONE FLIRTING WITH HER?" Pulcinella screamed.
"HAHAHA! The look on Traveler's face would be priceless!"
"No one Is flirting with the Traveler!" Capitano said.
"Please make this end-" Arlecchino sighed.
"Alright alright...Sorry." "Soon enough…Scara will lo-" Gia started to mutter under her breath. 'Ve the Traveler' she finished in her thoughts.
"Scara will what?" Scaramouche himself asked.
Crap…she forgot about his enhanced hearing.
"NOTHING! ANYWAYS, I can't wait to start a Lumine Wars."
"Lumine Wars? You know what I won't even ask." Sandrone.
"Who's Lumine?" Columbina asks.
"CRAP! The Traveler…I'm going to erase your memory of that fact, just a heads up."
"WHAT?'
"I'll tell you anyways, Lumine Wars, as I dubbed it, is essentially a reality where Lumine gets her own cult-"
"HER OWN WHAT?" Pulcinella asks.
"I know! AND get this, to join she charges 1 billion mora-"
"That's a good business opportunity." Pantalone interrupts.
"-precisely your thinking. EVERYONE joins the cult, including you…Well except for Venti, who can't get the money, and Capitano, who also can't get the money. AND Pierro and Pulcinella who don't want to join. And the Tsaritsa…ANYWAYS, everyone starts a war over Lumine. Most were fighting for her love. Others were fighting just for a fight."
"Who won?" Dottore asked.
"Those that weren't fighting for her love let Scaramouche win. The others tried to beat him but couldn't."
The Harbingers looked at Scaramouche.
"ME?" Scara asked incredulously.
Gia smirked. "Yes! Time to erase your memory! Sorry!"
"DON'T YOU DARE!" Arlecchino shouted.
"Oops, too late!" Gia fakely apologized as she blew dust on them. She thought of exactly what she wanted them to forget. And so, they forgot.
"There's the Traveler. I'll get the birds to chase her…Now!"
The Harbingers looked as birds, hundreds of birds swooped down and chased the Traveler. Her and Paimon were screaming, and the Harbingers were laughing, giggling, or smirking. She ran to Tighnari's house and banged on the door. Collei let her in and screamed as she saw the birds. The door slammed shut.
"It seems our fun is done…." Gia said with a frown. The birds stopped attacking.
"The Traveler's face! Haha!" The Balladeer laughed.
Dottore grinned, "This was indeed funny." Corvis was cawing in delight.
"Now that we are done with that waste of precious time, we must head back." Pierro said.
"Before we go, Dottore, I've changed my mind. I'll teach you how to create a dragon now!"
"Wonderful."
The Harbingers left, except for Dottore who stayed to learn. Dottore took her to his lab. It took only 2 days with the assistance of Gia and Corvis. They finally created a dragon. He was pure black. He had feathers and a beak, making him look very much like a crow. His talons were sharp as knives, and he was 130 ft long and 50 ft high.
"What is his name?"
"His name?"
"Yes, you created him, you name him!"
"He is called…Mayonaka."
"Good choice. And his title?"
"Title?"
"Yes, like how you are 'The Doctor.'"
"He is… the Imawashiki satsujin-sha. "
"Alright"
"Question, can I simply observe while you do some experiments?"
"Depends. Do you have the stomach?"
"Definitely."
"Then alright. How many experiments do you want to watch?"
"Just 1 really…I was hoping for a certain one, but any is fine."
"I think it's time for some maintenance on the puppet."
"What are the odds? That's the one I wanted to see!"
"You wanted to see me do maintenance on Scaramouche? I would suggest you close your eyes…"
"I've seen worse! Besides, I already said I could handle it."
"Alright…#13!" Dottore called.
The door banged open.
"Y-Yes?"
"Get The Balladeer."
"O-okay!" #13 stuttered, leaving the room. A few minutes passed, then the door opened. Scara came in and looked at Gia.
"Why is she here?"
"To observe."
"You want to see me get maintenance?"
"Yes, yes. Before you say it, yes, I can handle it."
"Your funeral."
"Let's get started." Dottore said. Scaramouche laid down on the table and Dottore plunged his hand into The Balladeer's stomach. He did Archons knows what and looked like a wolf devouring a meal. Scaramouche screamed as Dottore shoved a device into his stomach and twisted it. He rearranged Scara's organs. As Scaramouche yelled, Dottore's grin got wider. Dottore finished and Scaramouche got off the table. He groaned but otherwise seemed fine, as the openings were closing. Gia was standing against the wall with her hand on her chin. Dottore's hand was dripping black and red liquid, the equivalent of Scaramouche's blood.
"Thank you for allowing me to observe…Though I am curious as to why you didn't use tools?"
"Simple, it's more efficient." Dottore answered as he washed off the blood-like substance.
"Alright. I must get going. Bye!"
Dottore nodded in response. Gia teleported to who knows where.
"She's rather interesting…"
