"Ah..." Ina groaned, putting a hand to her forehead.
"Ina?" Amelia asked concerned, "You okay?"
"Mmh, headache..." the priestess muttered.
Irys felt a sudden chill run down her spine, something wasn't right.
The six girls had been walking around Holo City in search of anything that might lead them to a clue as to where The Godcube could be.
But so far, even after asking around for clues, they had come up with nothing.
They rounded a corner, passing by another shop when Irys suddenly stopped.
Everyone turned to look at her curiously.
"...Something's wrong..." She muttered to herself.
"Huh?" Gura asked, cocking her head to the side as she studied her surroundings.
"I don't know, but something feels..." Irys paused, "different..."
"What do you-" Kiara began.
Suddenly, there was an explosion, prompting everyone to jump in surprise.
"What was that!?" Calli shouted.
"I don't know!" Irys cried, looking around in confusion.
"Look!" Gura pointed to the sky, spotting five people drifting down towards the ground; a red haired woman with mouse ears, a black haired woman with long legs, a green haired woman with horns that looked like branches, a brunette woman with owl feathers in her hair, and a tanned woman with a strange looking pink thing on her head.
Irys stared intently, her heart pounding.
"People of Holo City, allow us to introduce ourselves." the woman with mouse ears' voice rang out, a wicked grin on her face.
"My name is Baelz Hakos, Chaos Incarnate, and we are known as The Council." She smirked.
"Kronii Ouro, Warden of Time." the black haired woman with long legs announced, her face stern.
"Fauna Ceres, Keeper of Nature." the green haired woman introduced herself, her voice soft but her expression cold.
"Mumei Nanashi, Guardian of Civilization!" the brunette proclaimed.
"Sana Tsukumo, Speaker of Space." the tanned woman concluded, her smile bright and her voice noticeably accented.
"Bow before your new Gods!" Baelz declared, causing everyone in sight to fall silent, perhaps out of fear.
The five gods approached the ground slowly, each of them landing gracefully on their feet.
They each looked across from where they were standing, locking eyes with Calli, Kiara, Gura, Amelia, Ina, and Irys.
"Well, well, well, long time no see, Irys." Baelz smirked.
The five members of HoloMyth looked at Irys, did she really know this woman?
"Who... who are you and what are you doing here?" Irys replied, her voice shaking slightly.
"Oh? Have you forgotten me in your time here? You wound me, Irys!" Baelz exclaimed dramatically, clutching her chest, and stepping closer to her, the other members of Council following her closely.
"What the hell is going on?" Kiara demanded; her face scrunched together in confusion. "How does that girl know your name, Irys?"
"I don't know, but..." Irys replied quietly.
"The Godcube has been opened..." Ina finished grimly.
