Chapter 03

Reviews

TwinstarDragon: ah, ok, thanks. That is the idea. I agree with you on that it is rather creepy, but you have to admit that it does fit with the canon tomb. My shalltear will have her true form be somewhat inspired by the canon one, but hopefully not as creepy.

Potternatzu: thank you. Those stories are somewhat interesting. You put 'harry's oc sister' as one word. Wait and see. Might just do the canon world, as it's easier.

Previously

After a few seconds passed, albedo continued. "My lord, all of the guardians present arrived and pledged their undying loyalty. The only guardians not present, as instructed, are victim: guardian of the eighth floor and gargantua, who faithfully guards the fourth. My lord," she looked up at her master before continuing," we await your commands," she finished.

Now

"i have reason to suspect that we are no longer in yggdrasil. With that in mind, i've sent sebas to scout out the surrounding areas," momonga said, before he turned his head to look at sebas. Sebas looked like a handsome man with white hair slicked back and a neatly trimmed white beard. He wore a typical butler outfit. Sebas walked forward and knelt in front of his master, and reported what he found.

"Grasslands?!" momonga asked in shock. "Yes, my lord. Furthermore, there are no living beings within one mile of our present location. It seems that we're completely isolated," sebas reported. "Right, thank you, sebas. Now i know what we must do for the immediate present," he said out loud, before he turned to face albedo and demiurge. "Guardian leader albedo, and defensive leader demiurge, i have a task for you," momonga said, getting their attention. "lord/lord?" albedo and demiurge asked in harmony.

"Fortify our defenses, and work on a way to strengthen our information gathering," he commanded. "It will be done/it will be done," they said in harmony. "Mare," he said, getting the attention of the male elf. "Yes?" he asked timidly. "Is there a way to conceal ourselves with magic?" he asked.

"Yes, but it will be difficult if all we use is magic," mare started. "However, if we cover the walls with dirt and vegetation, it'll work to conceal us better," mare continued before he was interrupted. "You want to cover nazarick's walls with DIRT?!" albedo snarled.

"Albedo, don't make needless remarks," momonga reprimanded her. "Yes, milord, i was careless," albedo said. "Continue, mare," momonga said. "Yes sir. As i was saying, if we cover the walls of nazarick with dirt and vegetation, as well as magic, it will work better than if we just use magic," mare finished.

"I see. Sebas," momonga looked at sebas. "Are there any hills we can blend in with?" he asked sebas. "No, milord. The area is barren. Nothing but flat grasslands as far as the eye can see," sebas reported. "I see. Will making dummy hills suffice?" he asked mare. "Yes, it should work," mare said. "Excellent, do that once this meeting is at an end," momonga ordered. "Yes, sir," mare said.

"Lastly, there is a question i would like to ask you all. First, shalltear. In your own words, tell me what kind of person i am to you," momonga said.

"Magical power, incarnate. There are few who match you in magical strength. Also, i see you as a kind of grandfather," shalltear said.

"I see. Cocytus," momonga said.

"A. MAN. THAT. IS. UNRIVALED. IN. SHEER, VERSATILITY," cocytus said.

"Aura," he said.

"A man that is kind as well as compassionate," she said.

"Mare," he said.

"A man that is incredibly wise and powerful," mare said.

"Demiurge," he said.

"A man whose intellect surpasses any guardian. Also, your enigmatic nature makes it nigh impossible to predict you," demiurge said.

"Sebas," he said.

"A man who was the leader of the supreme beings. Even when the others abandoned us, you mercifully stayed with us until the end," sebas said.

"And lastly, albedo," he finished.

"The undisputed master of the supreme beings and a man that surpasses all. As well as the man to who my heart belongs," she lovingly declared at the end.

"Ah, yes, i see. I thank you for your honest opinions, and have given you your orders. Now, go carry out my orders faithfully in my name," he said before he teleported away. After their master disappeared, the guardians stood up.

"That was incredible," mare said and he leaned on his staff. "Ri~ght? I thought for sure he was going to crush us with his power alone," aura said, as she looked at her brother. "His power is even more glorious than i imagined," albedo said, her hands clasped in front of her cleavage. "Indeed," demiurge said, as he pushed his glasses up his nose.

"Well, since you are all going to chat amongst yourselves, i shall take my leave," shalltear said, before she turned from the group and walked away. "WHERE. ARE. YOU. GOING. SHALLTEAR?" cocytus asked, getting the attention of the other guardians present. "I gave my vow of fidelity to lord momonga. I see no other reason to stay and chat with the others," shalltear said, not stopping. She opened a gate spell. However, before she walked through it, she stopped and looked at the other guardians. "Should i wish to, i will speak to you all later," she said before she walked into the gate spell and coming back to the second floor. The gate spell closed the instant she cleared it. "Hmm, what to do?" she pondered aloud to herself.

With the gathered guardians

"That was rather rude," aura stated. "I agree," mare said. "Why would she leave like that?" albedo asked. "WHO. KNOWS?" cocytus asked. "No one but shalltear can explain why she did so. And since we don't know where she is within the tomb, we will have to wait to ask her," demiurge said.

The guardians all sighed in annoyance.

Back with shalltear

Shalltear was going back to her room, when she yawned her palm in front of her mouth. "Oh, it seems like i'm tired. I suppose i'll go take a nap," she said after she lowered her palm. Shortly after that decision, she entered her room. After getting undressed and removing her bow, letting her hair flow down the back of her naked body. "Hmm," she crossed her arms under her cleavage in thought. "I suppose i should wear one of my nightshirts," she decided before she uncrossed her arms and went to her dresser. She ruffled through it to find a nightshirt. After a few moments of searching, she found one. "Ah, there you are, you little bastard," she said, before she put the black nightshirt on, climbed into her bed, got under her covers and went to sleep.

Dream

Emerald was in a crib with her twin brother harry, looking up at her former mother, lily. "My babies. I will be gone for a short while, while your grandmother watches over you," she said, before she smiled. "Besides, it's time for your nap," she finished. She gave a gentle smile before starting her lullaby.

Song of the stars (dub ver)

I can see you there

Right by my side as always

You've never let me down, my friend

I can feel you there

Close to my heart as always

Your soul and mine share a bond made of love

So as the skies turn grey

And the clouds gather above

Trying to fight back your tears

Feeling so lost and alone

I am the star that burns for you

Shining through the night

Just follow me

I will guide you home

And when you're feeling lost at sea, listen for my song

Calling you back to the shore

After lily finished the song, emerald and harry were asleep. A few hours later, the two were forcefully awoken by a loud crash. "Stand aside, you miserable bitch, for you are not my target," the man in the snake cloak said. "If you want my grandbabies, you will have to kill me to do it," their grandmother declared. "I see. Then good-bye, andromeda potter," the man said, before he blasted her with a green light. Andromeda crashed against the crib and was hanging from the top of the railing.

The man approached, with someone else next to him. It was their uncle wormtail. While harry was crying, emerald glared at the two men. "Now, which child is it?" the cloaked man asked. "Hmm, better to be safe, than sorry, i suppose," the cloaked man said. He raised his wand and pointed it at harry first.

"AVADA KEDAVRA," the cloaked man yelled. However, before the spell could leave the wand, emerald put herself between him and her baby brother. Once the spell hit her, her own magic forced the spell back at the caster. The force of the counter-spell broke the roof, a piece breaking off and hitting harry in the head, giving him a nasty cut, matching the cut on emerald's forehead from emerald's magic reflecting the curse back at the man, as well as a piece of tom's soul attaching itself to her.

Exhausted beyond measure, emerald passed out, only to wake up from shrill shrieking and angry yelling.

Dream end

Shalltear's eyes quickly opened as she gasped. She was covered in sweat from the dream-turned-nightmare. She slowly sat up, a hand holding her blanket over her chest. "Why?" she sobbed, as she curled up into a sitting fetal position. "Why did i have to dream that?" she cried, tears tracing from her eyes.

Before she could even think about it further, there was a coughing sound in front of her, coming from the door. She looked up, and saw demiurge. They stared at one another for a few moments, before it clicked in shalltear's mind that there was a guy staring at her, from her open door, while she was nearly naked. Shalltear did what any girl would do in her situation: she screamed "GET OUT OF HERE, YOU PERVERT!" before she started hurling holy spears at him at rapid speed, forcing him to dodge for his life in an awkward dance before he managed to grab the door and shut it and leaned against it in exhaustion, before MORE spears pierced through it, nearly hitting him through the door. Getting the message, he quickly went back to his floor with great haste.

In shalltear's room

Shalltear was huffing angrily. "That bastard. Why was he even IN my room?!" she demanded out loud. Then she realized that she almost destroyed her door. She sent some repair magic at it, making it as good as new. "Ugh, now i'm in a bad mood," she grumbled as she got up and wiped the tears from her face. She went to her wardrobe and perused the outfits.

With demiurge

Demiurge was exhausted from running for his life from shalltear trying to kill him with holy spears. "Perhaps it was *huf* not a good *huf* idea to enter *huf* her room without *huf* her permission *huf*" he said exhaustedly. He then thought about what shalltear was doing. Why was she in her bed, crying? He asked himself.

Back with shalltear

"Hmm, what should i wear?" she pondered as she looked at the outfits. After looking for a few minutes, she saw something. "Ah, i'll wear this, then," shalltear decided as she pulled the dress out. After taking off the nightshirt and putting on the new dress, she went to her mirror. "Wow, this dress is better than my last one. Might just make it my standard outfit," she said as she ran her hands down the dress as she looked in the mirror.

The dress was a solid black slip dress that went down to her knees. "Time to find some stuff to match it," she decided. She searched and found black female flats and a black ribbon for her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror. "Huh, nearly perfect, but it's missing something," she said, before her eye was drawn to her previous outfit's sash. "Ah-ha, let's see if you'll work with my outfit," she said, before she undid the pink-purple sash from her previous outfit and added it to her current outfit.

Once she finished tying it to her outfit, she looked in the mirror. "Hmm, nearly so. Right style, but wrong color," she said before she undid the sash and went through her wardrobe. After a few minutes of digging around, she found another sash. "Ah, there we go," she said, before she pulled it out. It was solid purple, matching her panties. She tied the sash in the same way as her previous outfit, before she looked in the mirror. She looked at the new outfit from various angles, and she only had one thing to say "perfect," she said.
