Chapter 1: The Surprise Messenger
Ainz was broken away from the world of his mind and looked up into the worried face of none other than Albedo, the overseer of the other floor guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and whom was created by one of his dear friends, Tabula-san. As usual, her white dress hugged her beautifully curved frame, only set off by the gold spider-web necklace that draped over her voluptuous chest and the long, jet-black hair that streamed over her shoulders, back, and chest. Her forehead was framed by the two horns that sprouted from her head, and her waist was also framed by her black angel wings. She was looking at him with worry in her gold, cat-like irises, and, she was kneeling close to him. A little too close, if you asked him.
On the last day of Yggdrasil, Ainz had done… a few things. One of these things included messing with Albedo's settings, back when she was still just an NPC and nobody would be there to reprehend him. Deciding to be a little ridiculous, he wrote into her settings that she was madly in love with him. He hadn't known that Yggdrasil would turn itself into its own little universe, and now, not only was Albedo completely loyal to him, she was also completely infatuated with him. It also seemed that she and another one of the floor guardians, vampire Shalltear Bloodfallen, were at war with eachother because they both loved Ainz (he swore that he NEVER did anything to make her in love with him!).
"Ainz-sama, are you alright?!" Albedo asked again with alarm, moving closer to him, and he realized he hadn't answered her, having gotten himself lost in his thoughts again.
"Oh, yes, I'm perfectly fine, Albedo," Ainz replied in his deep voice.
At his reply, Albedo visibly relaxed, and pulled up from her kneeling position with a reassured sigh.
"What is it you need to tell me?" Ainz asked her.
"Oh, yes! Forgive me, Ainz-sama, I got… distracted." Albedo's voice dropped slightly as she brought her hands to her chest and looked away, a mad blush already creeping onto her cheeks. Ainz mentally face-palmed.
Albedo seemed to get out of her little reverie, and continued, more serious this time.
"Sebas-san came and told me to tell you to come to his current location immediately. He said it was urgent."
"Why didn't he come himself?" Ainz questioned.
"I asked him the same thing. He said that he couldn't leave his post for long because of whatever had happened. From the way he was talking it seemed that what he wants you for is quite urgent, and so I have put all the floor guardians on standby in the case of an emergency."
"I see. I shall go immediately, then," and without another word to Albedo, Ainz looked at one of his many rings on his bony fingers, a white one with a stone that constantly changed color, and whispered, "Take me to Sebas."
Almost immediately, the stone began to glow white, until it enveloped him, and when he opened his eyes, having closed them due to the intensity of the light, he found himself standing in front of the grand doors of the Great Tomb. Sebas, the head butler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, stood not far from him, and, as soon as Ainz appeared, he turned to him and kneeled.
"Ainz-sama, you came."
Ainz gestured for Sebas to stand. "What is this problem Albedo has told me about?"
"Yes," Sebas started, "It seems that some kind of being has made it through our outer defenses and barriers without so much as a scratch."
At this news, Ainz mentally gasped; no creature in all of Yggdrasil had ever made it past the Tomb's outer defenses. They usually never even made it past the first barrier, for that barrier would disintegrate any who tried to pass though. The fact that this being had not only survived the first five defenses, but apparently all of them, meant that whatever was out there was either very powerful, or they had some type of object that kept them out of harm's way.
"What is her current location?" Ainz demanded.
"I'm afraid she has penetrated all of our defenses and is right outside these very doors," Sebas said, looking at the grand doors with slight weariness. Before Ainz could think of anything to say, Sebas continued.
"She has, however, said that she means no harm and that she only wants to have an audience with you, Ainz-sama."
Ainz thought for a minute, before coming to a decision. "Open the doors. We shall see what she wants to say."
Sebas nodded, and Ainz stretched his arm out, shouting, "Open!"
At his command, the doors began to slowly open, revealing the outside. Once the doors had fully opened and the dust had cleared, both Ainz and Sebas saw someone standing in the archway.
The being looked human, save for the huge, feathery wings sprouting from her upper back, but even as Ainz watched, the wings began to recede in size, until they were only as long as her arm length. The creature was very beautiful, with short, dark-red hair framing her angelic face, and whom was wearing a black short-shirt that revealed her stomach under a furry, opened light purple trench coat with silver markings all along it and black tights over her legs. And yet, these things weren't what caught his eye. It was what was on one of her index figure on her left hand.
One of the Rings of Ainz Ooal Gown.
And at that moment, the only thought that was going through his mind was this: 'who is this being?'
…
Hey, Rose here! I'm sorry if any of you were expecting a longer chapter. And if your confused, the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown gives the wearer the ability to travel in and out of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and in this case even the outer defenses.
Anyway, I hope you still enjoyed this chapter, it's basically kind of like a filler for the events to come.
Bye! (:-)
