The World Serpent

In a location where one of the Forsaken Continent was found, what consisted there was nothing but the dark heavens and eternal void. The dark heavens and the eternal void that got recently split apart by the short spar between the two supremes. Along with the revelation after the splitting of the darkness was a wonder never to be seen before. A beauty hidden within the World of Exterreri. It makes someone wonder if the whole vast dark heavens and eternal void had hidden such beauty. 

'A Beauty beyond one's imagination.' Statera thought to herself while gazing from afar. If the World of Exterreri had hidden such beauties, What would the Realm of Piksyon hide from them? Such a question echoed within Statera's mind. The wonders of the Realm of Piksyon were something she wanted to see. It was something a lot more intriguing than an ancient treasure. For Statera, such a scene gave her the flame of curiosity. Whether or not she would follow such curiosity would be after her return to the Realm of Piksyon. 

"This makes me not want to fight. Though, I can't believe that destruction could release such a scenery." Persia uttered as she started stretching her body. She deactivated her Origin Form and felt a little bit tired. She wanted to take a nap though she would have to finish the Clan of the Monstre first before closing her eyelids. After the deactivation, Persia started looking around and noticed the disappearance of the Forsaken Continent.

"Wow, I didn't notice that the Forsaken Continent got vaporized. A pity for the ones inhabiting the Forsaken Continent." Persia said as she turned her head towards Drya. The Forsaken Continent didn't even fall but got disintegrated. One would wonder what better fate it could have other than disintegration. Drya noticed the gaze of Persia and smiled. She also deactivated her Origin Form and spoke. 

"That was a good fight, Persia. It has rather been a while since I fought like that. Or maybe, it was my first time. That was an exciting fight, I believe that we should have a rematch in the future." Drya's words echoed as Persia simply smiled back and replied with a calm and serene voice. "Then, I would wait for the next rematch in the future, Senior Drya."

"Oi... Persia, Drya, you can't simply leave me alone and have fun on your own. Why don't we try a three-way? That would be a lot more exciting, right?" Statera right beside the two of them and said with her seductive voice. Drya was doubtful about it, especially after hearing Statera's words. Three-way? For Drya, that was too much and impure for her. Though, Persia's answer echoed within her mind. 

"That's a good idea. It would be better for Kitsune to also join. The more, the better, right? Besides, we would also have to find a new location so that it wouldn't cause a problem for the people in the Great Forest. A secret location that only we can enter would be a good one." Persia said with a calm voice as a smirk formed on Statera's face. Drya blushed and uttered within her mind. 'How bold...' 

"Thinking about it already fills me with excitement. It makes me wonder how much pleasure we could get from it. After that event, should we do it together again, Statera? It has rather been a while, and I know your body is becoming stiff from working. Why don't I help you make your body flexible as before? I have a lot of techniques in mind." Persia smiled as if not hearing the implication of her words. 

'As expected of the Bold Junior, it appears that they have done such things before which might have resulted in the birth of Gloria. This does make me wonder how bold they are to invite other ladies in.' Drya thought to herself within her dirty mind. Persia, on the other hand, somehow felt a cold chill within her spine. She didn't know why but her cold sweat was dripping from her forehead. Persia rarely had such reactions during her lifetime. 

"Yeah, yeah, let's do it after handling the problem in this world. You're the only one I want to engage. I still haven't forgotten the first time we did it together. That first time was pretty exciting. I didn't know that I could have such a strange mind inside my head." Statera replied. 

"Don't worry about that, Statera. We should do it without any worries." Persia said with her serene voice. 

Drya's body shook as she wondered why the two were flirting in front of her. Was this their normal reaction? What would happen if they went into their real flirting mode instead? Imagining such things, Drya couldn't help but shake her head in fear. After all, no one would want to imagine such things. 

"Now, what are we going to do with the split in front of us? It appears to be going back to its true form. The Dark Heavens and the Eternal Void appear to be closing off." Statera said while looking at the dark heavens and the eternal void that was closing off. It seems like they were going back to their original state. The ability to heal from unwanted damage. What the hell were the eternal void and dark heavens?

"Healing from its damages? Rather expected for what we call a Dead World. Hmmm... If the eternal void and the dark heavens could heal, that would mean that something is alive and hidden in this world. Something powerful." Persia uttered with her soothing voice. Drya and Statera nodded in agreement with what Persia had said. 

"Investigating it would take a lot of time, so let's go back first and take care of the first problem we have. We can make our decisions afterward." Drya said with a serious voice. The termination of the Clan of Monstre should come first. After that, they could do anything they wanted in the World of Exterreri. 

Persia and Statera then replied.

"Understandable..."

"Let's go back."

Back in the Clan of Noir, Keres was gazing at the dark figure sitting on the throne within the Clan Hall of Noir. She was waiting for the answer of the dark figure as her Sister had already replied to her plea. The Clan of Noir would lose their only one Lord Candidate of the Lord of Noir agreed with the exile. But it was also for the growth of the Lord Candidate which made the Lord of Noir feel that he needed to agree with the exile. It was pretty complicated for the Lord of Noir. It was also rather unfortunate that his little daughter decided to exile herself.

The Lord of Noir then sighed and answered with a calm voice. "If that is what you want, you will be exiled and temporarily lose your title as the Lord Candidate. Until you have reached enlightenment, you shall not come back to the clan. Mark my words..." His words echoed within the clan hall. As the Lord of Noir had already reached his conclusion, There was no use for the Officials to do anything anymore.

"I am grateful for your mercy, Father. I vow to reach enlightenment during exile. I will not come back to the clan until I become the Lord needed to rule it. Till then, wait for me to become the daughter you wish for." Keres said with a calm voice as she stopped bowing and walked back to the entrance of the clan hall. She exited without anything to say and left the clan hall in silence. 

The Officials couldn't say anything like the words of the Lord of Noir was their law. Most of them wouldn't want to lose their Lord Candidate. Zella had already pledged to not thirst the Throne of Noir. Keres was practically the only candidate, and if something happens to her. Disaster would decimate the Clan of Noir. 

"You are already the daughter I wished for, Keres." The Lord of Noir uttered in silence as he sighed. The Officials of the Clan of Noir slowly left the clan hall one by one. One after another, new situations kept hitting the Clan of Noir. Expected or unexpected, such situations stir the emotions within their hearts. 

"There is no need to worry about her, Father. Keres is a strong girl. I believe that she can learn a lot during her journey. She can be the Future Lord that we wish for. Perhaps it would be a rocky path to take, but that is a path to the peak. It was meant to be rocky and unpredictable." Zella said with a soothing voice as she couldn't help but remember the expression of determination plastered on her Little Sister's face.

"I guess you are right... This is the path she is willing to take. Whether it be cold or warm, we must be there to support her no matter what." The Lord of Noir released one of his century's smiles. A rare legendary smile that sometimes appeared once a century. Those that could see it would be blessed by luck, according to some rumors. 

Exiting the Main Gate of the Clan while carrying a storage box, Keres looked back at her home where she always dwelled. It would take a while for her to return, but when she does, she would be the Lord of Noir. She would become the better version of herself. One could say that it was a journey to become a Lord. 

But before Keres could continue walking, she could see her friends waiting for her. She was a bit shocked at seeing them and wondered why they were waiting in front of the Main Gate. One of them smiled upon seeing Keres. It was the one that reprimanded her of her arrogance before. 

"We can't simply have our friend face the trials alone, right?" Such words echoed, resulting in the formation of Keres's smile.
