Chapter 106: Appearance And Replacement

....

"So you think they could be Darius and Katerina..." Ivery pondered on it and thought it was possible

"Darius is long dead and there is no princess Katerina in the Lilith kingdom in the real world." Luther explained his thinking

"Let's try to keep our distance from them since they're the only suspects we have..." Luther suggested

Ivery nodded.

Loki calmed down and laid back down on the bed, he suddenly sensed something abnormal. He stood up and hopped in front of Ivery and began sniffing her.

"What are you doing Loki?" Ivery asked him with an awkward tone

"There are three incomplete spells residing in your body...I don't know why I didn't sense it earlier..." Loki explained

"Incomplete spells? What type?" Ivery asked him

"A memory erasing spell, a memory fabrication spell, and a magic prowess reducing spell." Loki said

"You weren't meant to realize you don't belong in this fabricated plane.." Loki revealed

"And you both definitely weren't meant to remember each other and you weren't meant to have access to your infinite attributes anymore." Loki said

"What about Luther?" Ivery looked at Luther

Loki slowly approached Luther, his sinister aura was extremely repelling, he still didn't know how Ivery could be around him so calmly.

"No need, I can check it myself." Luther told Loki, noticing Loki was fearful of him

Luther's eyes turned black and thin black veins surfaced on the sides of his face.

"Indeed there is..." Luther snapped his fingers

"What did you do..?" Loki asked Luther

"I erased all three of the spells in my body." Luther answered

"Lay down Ivery, I'll do it for you too." Luther looked at her

Ivery complied and laid down on the bed. Luther touched her stomach and slowly slid his hands down.

"Luther!" Ivery gasped and blushed when she realized he wasn't intending to do what he said

He chuckled and moved his hand back.

"I already erased your spells too, along with mine." Luther grinned

"You still have the mood to fool around in this situation?" Ivery sighed

"I still have the mood to do a lot of things." Luther smiled

"///" Ivery blushed and turned her head away from him

"Aw." Luther frowned

"So why didn't the spells work on us?" Ivery asked

"Your powers are much stronger than what they used to be, despite Ivery's magic being incomplete, thanks to the power of the golden apple and the ancient black magic Luther absorbed, your magic canceled the spells before they were completed." Loki answered her

"I think the reason I just sensed it now was because the spells were trying to take effect but couldn't, so then it caused an abnormal spark, which is what I sensed." Loki concluded

"Luther, since it's like this we'll have to act as if we haven't met, Eos and Xia will think our minds are under the spell, and since I can't shapeshift like you can, if you take the form of something else you can still be with me and won't make Xia and Eos suspect anything." Ivery proposed her idea

"Sure." Luther stands up and a black mist swirls around his body, as the mist dispersed, Luther's form changed to a young beautiful woman, his long straight hair started to curl from his roots to the ends of his hair

His attire remained the same but was modified to fit his new body frame, he wore a black tucked shirt with a black thin outer coat that had golden lining, and attached to his outer coat was a singular black shoulder mantle and black slim linen pants with black glossy, low heeled oxford shoes.

He fixed the cuffs on his coat and walked over to a mirror, he ran his left hand through his curls and looked as if he's thinking deeply about something..

"Hm…" Suddenly, his hair color changed and went from a pitch glossy black color to a beautiful shiny silver color. He waved his hand over his eyes and his eyes changed from purple to icy blue.

"That'll do…" He said

"We'll have to suppress our magic, Eos will immediately sense it if we don't…" Luther sighed and turned to look at Ivery

"….." He stared confusedly at Ivery who was oddly blushing

"What's wrong?" Luther asked

"Nothing." Ivery cleared her throat and still wasn't used to Luther taking the form of women

"Loki, I need you to take Luther's place at his castle for a while, can you do that?" Ivery asked him

"I can." Loki nodded and jumped on the floor

Loki's body glowed brightly and grew in size, his glowing form took the shape of a man, and when the light died, he looked exactly like Luther.

"How odd.." Luther touched his chin and felt weird seeing himself from a new perspective

"Go now." Luther told Loki

Loki sighed and disappeared into a cloud of golden pink colored mist.

"Great, now that he's gone.." Luther walked to Ivery

He slipped his hand around her waist and pulled her close to him.

"Luther...what-?" Ivery looked up at him with confusion swirling in her eyes

"You thought I wouldn't notice the way you looked at me?" Luther smirked

"Do you like women Ivery?" Luther whispered in her ear

"N-No." Ivery blushed harder, not even she knew the reason for why she was so flustered

"Then why are you blushing more than usual?" Luther asked

"B-Because it's you.." Ivery covered her face in embarrassment

"I see, so you love me no matter what form I take?" Luther's smile widened

"Yes.." Ivery peeked at him through her fingers

"Move your hands." Luther said

Ivery slowly lowered her hands and just as she did, she was met with an instant kiss. In her mind, it was weird but instinctively she knew it was still him, this was still the person she loved the most. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back deeper.

"Mmn.." Ivery just remembered...

Luther raised an eyebrow and pulled away from her, disconnecting their lips.

"The maids mentioned a ball earlier." Ivery told him

"A ball? When?" He asked

"Today." Ivery said
