I have delivered! All the buildup leads to now.

{The next day. Maccillian's POV}

Yesterday was fun. I knew it, Hestia knew it, and Shizuka knew it. Sure, it might've made it hard for Lili to look at us after she came home, but it was worth it. Hestia's 'lessons' went on for another hour after Loki interrupted us, and at the end of it, Hestia could go around 3/4th of the way in now, and though I knew she'd never openly, or mentally admit it, I knew she was proud of that.

We didn't go further, but it was still fun.

Anyway, today was the day of Apollo's banquet, and it'd be starting in a half hour. So I was on the couch with Lili, Bell, Trix and Mari, while Hestia and Shizuka got dressed. Houndoom was in his doggy bed, chewing his favorite Spartoi bone.

While we were waiting, it's been like 10 minutes since they started, the rest of us were talking. And I decided to bring up a fun topic. "Trix, how's the 'training' with Bell and Artemis going?"

Bell froze, and blushed like a schoolgirl, while Trix beamed. "It's going great! I followed Alpha Den Mother's advice, and started teaching him the best way to pl...-"

"CAN WE NOT?!" Trix paused, and we all turned to stare at Bell. He looked ready to turn run away, and it was great.

Lili agreed with that thought, and started snickering at Bell's expense. Houndoom was chortling in his bed, while Mari had a very light blush on her cheeks. Trix huffed at him, and turned back to me. "Anyway, we did this thing Alpha Hunter." Rika. "Called 69, I still don't get why it's called that by the way, and it was amazing! We...-"

"AGHHH!" Bell shifted, and tried to run full speed to the basement. Too bad I took away his gravity, made him flat, and attached an aura tether onto him. 'SIIIR!' I grinned, Lili and Houndoom were cackling, Trix was reaching over to grab him, and Mari was watching on with a smile.

"Now now kid, we got a story to hear." If it was possible, he paled, and looked desperate to get free after Trix wrapped her arms around him.

Seeing the way his eyes darted around, his face turning to everyone in the room, practically pleading for someone to save him, made us all laugh. Lili, Houndoom and I were the loudest, but I could hear Mari laugh softly. Though, after a sudden thought flew by, I stopped laughing, and turned to stare at Lili. Her head was in my lap, so it was easy for us to lock eyes.

Lili had stopped laughing as I did, and nervously started to shift around. "Ummm... Papa? Why are you staring at Lili like that?" Everyone else had stopped laughing, and I could tell they were looking at us.

I blinked for a moment, and hummed. "I'm both looking forward to scaring the shit out of potential boy/girlfriends, and also not at the same time." Lili yelped, jumped out of my lap, and turned invisible.

I snorted at her response, and reached out to grab her by the scruff of her neck before she went too far. I felt her squirming in my hand, and after a second, she reappeared. "Can we not have this conversation Papa? Lili would like to postpone this till never, and perhaps ever."

Rolling my eyes, I gave her a smirk. "Nah. right, and maybe now, sounds better to me." Lili groaned, and fell back onto her, and her mothers, secret technique.

The eyes, mixed with flattening her ears, and drooping her tail. "Please Papa..." She even made sure to make her eyes water a little. All in all, I gave it a 10/10.

Too bad her mother was Shizuka, who was unparalleled in the art of 'puppy dog eyes' and guilt tripping. "Nice try smols. But there's no saving you from th...-"

As I was saying that, Hestia's door opened, and out came Shizuka and said goddess. "We're done!" My mind screeched to a halt when I saw them, and I ignored Lili's, and Bell's, sighs of relief.

Shizuka was wearing heels in a white backless dress, which went down to half her thigh, and had a slit on her right hip. The thing had a deep neckline that stopped a few inches under her breasts, giving a REAL nice view, and it was sleeveless. Combine that with having her hair flow down, shining a little more from whatever shampoo she used, bright and plump red lips, and her Werewolf enhanced figure? (Jesus Jojo Christ... Why haven't I proposed yet?) That was going on a list of things to do sooner rather then later.

Then there was Hestia. She was in a blue cut out drawstring dress, (Thank you Maddy for never shutting the fuck up about fashion.)(Throw away name from chapter 1.) That had one shoulder free, a great amount of cleavage, though her left side showed more skin, both for cleavage, and a bit under her breast. It had the laces on her right side, and the dress itself showed off a lot of thigh. Like Shizuka, she was in heels, her lips were plump, practically begging to be kissed, and she had her hair in a long braid. All in all, the both of them looked absolutely stunning... (Note to self, take our time to remove those dresses later tonight.)

"Wow... This might be the first time I've seen our Alpha so star struck." Trix was the first one to respond, and that broke me out of my stunned state.

Shaking it off, I looked at them, whistled, and gave them a thumbs up. "VERY nice, both of you."

They both preened at that, and Shizuka folded her arms under her breasts, puffing her chest out as she did. "Thank you Silver! It took foreeever to put them on." Her eyes and grin both grew mischievous here. "We might need some help to take them off later. Think you can lend a hand?" My ears and tail twitched, and she grinned even more.

I mirrored her, and decided to play her game. "Sure. Though, you might end up getting more then a hand." Shizuka's tail started wagging, and after she licked her lips, I saw just how hungry her eyes were.

We didn't fuck yesterday, so she was probably craving it. And I would not mind giving it. Not at all.

She was about to say something, but hearing someone breath out, we turned towards Mari, who was fanning herself, and looking away. Her cheeks were basically on fire, and it was adorable to see the usually uptight Mari, be turned into a blushing virgin schoolgirl.

Seeing the sight, Shizuka stopped being horny, and cooed at Mari. "Ouuu, remind me to dress you up later Mari. We have this really REALLY nice lingerie set that'll fit you. Who knooows, it might even make a certain someone happyyy!" None of us missed the VERY brief glance in Houndoom's direction, or the way she burned even brighter after the two of them locked eyes.

The room shared a chuckle, and we moved on.

After we all talked for a bit, they were ready to go, and we saw them off. Mari and Houndoom were going to escort them to Apollo's, then head off to the orphanage since Take was going too. Anyway, I gave Shizuka and Hestia a kiss, and alongside Bell and Lili, waved them off.

When they were gone, Trix, Lili and I turned to Bell, who gave us a sheepish smile. "I... Ummm... I have a date tonight..."

Lili and I looked at Trix, who grabbed Bell's arm, and placed it between her breasts. "We gotta meeting with Artemis soon. That Apollo guy didn't have the balls to invite her, so we're going to do our own thing. So, see ya later Alpha, baby Alpha!" And with that, Trix ran off with Bell.

That left me and Lili... And when I grinned at Lili, she seemed to remember where we left off. Her tail still, and after a moment, she disappeared. My grin grew maniacal, and I chased her down. She was heading to the basement, probably hoping I couldn't find her down in the wide area, and I chased her. I could indulge in hunting her down before having a wonderfully embarrassing conversation with my daughter. (Should I give her the birds and the bees just to fuck with her?) That thought ran through my mind, and I started cackling.

I could tell Lili had frozen the moment she heard it, and I cackled even more. "Run Lili run! You're getting the sex talk when I catch you!"

Lili yelped, and from my Minimap, I could tell she was scrambling now. "PAPA NO!"

"PAPA YES!" And so the chase really began.

{Shizuka's POV 10 minutes later}

We made it! The place was a big ol mansion, kinda like Saya's, but not as nice. But that was just my opinion, it could've been nice, I just didn't reallyyy care about it. Though, it looked like Hestia did. We were at the entryway, and Hestia was just looking at the place. "Man... I've seen this place a bunch of times... Always thought it would be so cool to live in a mansion." She smiled here, and it was a pretty one... A happy one. "But, who needs a mansion when you have a home?"

I felt my tail wag at that, and had to try so hard not to pick her up and squeeze her in a hug. I understood her feelings perfectly, beyond perfectly! (Must. Resist. Hug. Our dresses can't get ruffled!) I had my priorities straight. But I didn't want them to be at this moment!

After a bit of an internal struggle, I settled for a smile, and putting my hand on her shoulder. Hestia looked at me, and returned it. "Home is where the heart is after all..." I had a thought! "It's where the hearth is!" Hestia's smile twitched, and I could tell she was trying to hold back a laugh.

She failed.

Hestia burst out in laughter, and I couldn't help but giggle along.

We both took some time to just laugh, and after we were done, shook our heads. "Let's leave the jokes to Maccillian and Rika."

I pouted at that, and let my tail wag around just to drive home how insulted I was! "My jokes are great!" Hestia sent a cheeky smile at me, and I huffed. "You're staying the S tonight."And with that said, I started walking ahead.

I heard her go 'huh' and after a few seconds, she got it. "I take it back! I'm sorryyy!" I stopped, turned to her, and grinned. She looked genuinely worried, which made me pout again.

(I want to be offended, I really do... But I can't.) It was REALLY hard to hold anything against her. She was just too cute and fun too. "Apology accepted. Now." I walked over to her side, reached out, and linked our arms together. "Let's party! Free food and wine here we come!"

"Yeah!" I loved that she shared my enthusiasm.

That said, the two of us waled up to the entrance, and walked in.

As soon as we entered, I felt some eyes on us, but ignored it. I, and it looked like Hestia, didn't know any of those people, so they didn't matter. "Yooo! Tiny! Boob monster!" Ah! Someone that mattered!

Hestia and I turned to the voice, and saw Loki waving at us. She was in this cute little butler-esque outfit, and I wanted to take all the pictures. But as I looked at her, I paused. (Silver... Butler... Butler Silver! Ohmygodsohmygodsohmygods!) I would've kept going down that amazing train of thought, but I saw she had Ais standing next to her! (My child but not child!) I gently let go of Hestia, and went over to Ais' side.

She saw me coming, and I saw the smile on her face grow as I came closer. "Hello Shizuka."

I grinned, and brought her into a hug. "Hello my little sprite!" Ais returned my hug, and hummed in my embrace. Ever since our first meeting, I practically adopted her. But, her situation was different then Lili's. Now, Silver didn't mind me trying to adopt her, no, he was more amused then anything.

It was Ais that kept me from doing it. She enjoyed spending time with me, but the first time I broached the subject, I saw a flash of pain in her eyes at the thought of me being her 'mother.' So, I dropped it, and settled for keeping our relationship like this. (It would've still been nice to adopt her though.) It really would've, but I wasn't going to push her.

Back to the now! I let Ais go, and looked at her dress. She looked so pretty! "Ou! Gimme a twirl. Pleaseee?" She smiled at me, and did it. Seeing her twirl in her pretty green dress made me squeal and hug her again. "Ah, you're just so adorable!" She hugged me back, and I could practically feel her own joy.

"This is the woman that made ya scream her name yesterday... Shit's weird Tiny." I heard Hestia choke, not in the fun way, and let Ais go.

We both turned to our goddesses, and saw the smirk on Loki's face. I shook my head at that, and went over to help Hestia. After a few 'taps' to her back, she was fine, and glared at Loki. "I don't wanna hear it from you, you voyeur!"

Loki blinked, and got a little embarrassed at that. But... "It's wrong to kink shame Hestia." Both goddesses whipped their heads at me, and I could see how caught off guard they were. Too bad I wasn't done yet. "Besides, Saya likes to watch too. So it's wrong to be annoyed at Loki for liking it too." I heard the sound of someone else choking, and turned away from the stunned goddesses to see who it was.

And it was another pair of people that mattered! "Athenaaa! Cinder!" The goddess was the one choking, and Cinder was giggling behind one hand, and using the other to sooth Athena's back. The two of them came closer, and I saw what they were wearing.

Cinder was still wearing her Qipao and heels, but she had her hair down, and looked as pretty as usual. Then there was Athena. She was in this lovely brown dress, one of Saya's I recognized, that emphasized her breasts, legs, and ass. Athena had a nice figure, we all knew that, but we'd never seen her outside of anything other then her librarian outfit. She even had her hair braided in a way that looked like those leaf things the Greek gods back home had! All in all, they were both beautiful.

"While she regains her ability to breath, I will greet you in her stead. Hello girls." We waved at Cinder, and Hestia went over to Athena's side to help.

"Heyo! Anyway, you girls see anyone else ya know around?" I hummed at that, and looked around.

I knew Saeko's god, Takemikazoo, was coming, but I didn't see him. I was going to look around for him, but heard Athena stop choking. Turning to her ,we could all see the annoyance on her face. "I knew should've stayed in my library." Cinder snorted at that.

"Oh please. You just wanted to spend more time with my ladyyy, now don't you Lady Athena." Athena stammered at that, and turned to Cinder with a betrayed look on her face.

"Cinder!" That got us all to laugh, mainly because we ALL knew Athena had a crush on Saya. It was adorable. The cute goddess huffed, and turned away from her, and instead, to Hestia. "Anyway! Hello Hestia, Shizuka, Loki and Ais." We greeted her back, and the two of them settled into the group.

We all went over to grab some food, when Loki nudged Athena. "We're not skippin on that by the way. It's just on hold." Athena pouted at that, and Cinder grinned. "But anyway, why'd ya come this time? Ya usually stay as far away from Apollo as ya can."

A hum from Athena, and after grabbing a drink, she smiled. "Well. While I may GREATLY disapprove of Apollo, I don't mind tolerating his presence while I mingle with friends." Aww!

Loki and Hestia smiled, then went over to hug her. Ais, Cinder and I just watched the scene with smiles on our faces. While they did that, I looked around for anyone else we knew, and frowned when I saw someone else. Our eyes met, and the man I spotted started coming over.

Loki, Ais and Cinder had noticed, I knew they did, and just let him come over. Though, I could tell they both slightly tensed as he did. They knew about him, because Silver told all of us, and we shared it with the others, about him. "Heyo Hermes, what's up?"

The god gave Loki a smile, and placed his arms behind his head. "Oh you know, the usual. And hellooo to you too Loki. Looking fine as always." Said goddess just rolled her eyes, and waved him off. That done, he turned towards us, and gave us a look. I narrowed my eyes at him as his eyes roamed mine, Hestia's, Cinder's, and Athena's bodies. His eyes then went back to me, and I started to growl, lowly so only the people right next to me could hear, and he got the message. He brought his hands in front of his face, and gave me a disarming smile. "Sorry, sorry. It's easy for my eyes to roam when I'm confronted with such beautiful women."

I narrowed my eyes some more, and let my tail reflect my annoyance. I already had Silver, there was no need for another man in my life. (And there never will be either.) Even if it were a god, I'd still deny them. Just like I was now.

The man realized I wasn't appeased, and sported a wry grin. He turned to Hestia, Cinder and Athena, who were looking at him neutrally. Though, Cinder looked distrustful. Seeing that, he chuckled, weakly, and rubbed the back of his head. "Sheesh. Tough crowd."

A blue haired glasses wearing woman came over from behind him, and smacked him upside the head. "It's only just after your behavior, Lord Hermes. We don't appreciate being eyed like pieces of meat after all." Just for that, she was on my good person list.

The man sighed, then turned to the lady. "Did you NEED to hit me, to get your point across, Asfi?"

The now named Asfi pushed up her glasses, and nodded. "Yes. Otherwise, you would have brushed my words aside." The man sighed again, then turned back to us.

At this point, we were all together, and mostly giving him half a mind. That seemed to 'hurt' him, and he reached for his heart. "Ah, the scorn of such bea...-" He was cut off when we heard some gasps. I didn't need to turn to find out why, because I felt it. Outside of Silver and Hestia, the strongest person I'd ever felt had just entered the room.

I, and the rest of the girls, turned to the source, and Loki whistled. "For a bitch, she knows how to come in style." Cinder and I both turned to Loki, and raised a brow at her. "Oh hush, ya knew what I meant." Rolling our eyes, we turned back to the 'bitch,' and took her, and her plus 1, in.

The woman was obviously Freya, and the man, Ottar. I didn't like Freya, she was just the kind of person I hated. Manipulative, willing to use everything she had to get whatever she wanted. I could feel myself scowl a little when I remembered her scent, hers specifically, on six different people from the shopping and jewelry districts when I took Hestia to find some heels that fit her. It didn't take a genius to figure out 'everything' included her body. Just the idea of someone, other then Silver and the girls touching me in that way, made me scowl a little more.

I felt a nudge from my side, and out of the corner of my eye, saw it was Hestia. She looked a little worried, and that made me feel bad. (It's a party. I shouldn't worry her or the other girls.) So, I stopped scowling, and gave her a smile. "Sorry Hestia."

My goddess smiled back, and put her hand on my arm. "It's fine. I just don't like seeing you like that, is all." I could get that.

"I'll try no...-"

I was cut off when Loki came over and nudged the both of us. "Psst. Queen of the hoes is on the way. Be careful." That made us turn back to her, and saw that yes, Freya was coming towards us.

She had a 'smile' on her face, one that didn't reflect the hunger in her eyes, or in her posture. As a Werewolf, and sister mate of Saeko, I recognized when someone was stalking towards their prey. I let myself tense a tiny bit, just enough to punch her in her stupid face if I needed too.

When she reached us, her 'smile' grew a bit, and she greeted us. "Well hello. It's been quite some time since we've spoken, hasn't it Loki?"

Loki rolled her eyes at that. "It was last week ya royal highness."

Freya chuckled, then shook her head. "Ah, the good times." She turned to Athena next, and I could see my goddess friend didn't exactly looked pleased that the bitch was here. "Hello Athena. I hadn't expected you to show up to one of Apollo's banquets." I blinked. I wasn't a goddess, so I couldn't do the whole 'tell the truth and nothing but the truth' thingy they could, but I recognized a lie when I heard one.

Sharing a look with the girls, I noticed that outside of Loki, no one caught that. (Something's wrong.)

I was going to act on that thought, but Athena responded. "You'd be right, but I wanted to spend some time with my friends. Is there something you find reprehensible there Freya?"

Freya just shook her head at that. "Oh not at all Athena. Not at all." I wasn't liking her tone here. Warning bells were starting to make themselves known, but before I could try to figure out what, she turned to Hestia. "And hello to you too Hestia. Unlike Loki, it has been a while since we last spoke."

Hestia hummed in reply, then gave her a nod. "Yeah. But I've kinda been busy with my kids and all, so it makes sense." I felt a sense of satisfaction at the way Freya subtly twitched. Though, the flicker of annoyance in her eyes was close to setting me off.

Freya recovered, and she started to hum. "Ah yes. 'The Wolf King.' Or if we were going by his adventurer name, 'Sköll.' If my memory serves me correctly, it was Loki that threw that one out there, wasn't it?" I blinked, since I didn't know that, and turned to Loki.

The tomboy goddess puffed out her chest at that, and nodded. "Yer right about that. And I have yet to hear any complaints." And she probably never would. Silver loved the name after all.

"How wonderful." Freya' swords made me turn back to her, and keep her in my sight. Though, that made her focus in on my now. "And speaking of him, I do believe this is the first time we've met. Hello 'Sköll's Priestess.' It's a pleasure to meet you." She held out a hand, one with a pretty silver ring on it, and I shook it. I may not have liked her, but I should still be nice.

When we shook hands, I couldn't help but notice how soft it was. (Hmm... Bad people don't have soft hands... I guess I can give her a chance.) That decided, I gave her a small smile, and she returned it with one of her own. (That's pretty.) And it was. So... Maybe she wasn't as bad as I thought she was? I hummed at that thought, and let go of her hand.

The moment I did, I felt something in the back of my mind, something that said there was a problem, but I didn't know what. "And finally, Hermes. I apologize for not greeting you earlier." I shook away that weird thought, and tuned into the party. The man gave Freya a nod, but I noticed he was noticeably more tense then he was before.

(Why? She's a good person, right?) I blinked for a moment, and scrunched my brows. (Why did I think that?) I didn't know. But the feeling of something being wrong came back again.

And this time, I didn't outright dismiss it. "Hey Shizuka, are you ok?" I turned to see Hestia's worried face, and reassured her.

"It's fine. Just thinking about something." She gave me a nod, but I could tell she was on guard now. The rest of the girls, even my Ais, looked on guard too.

Freya noticed that, and just chuckled. "Now then. How about we take some time to have a little..." She gave the man a look, and he seemed to understand something. "Girl talk?" The girls and I shared a look, and after a second, nodded. Freya smiled, one that reached her eyes this time, and clapped. "Wonderful." She reached out to me, since I was the closest, and linked her arm with mine.

I looked at Freya, and she flashed me a beautiful smile. Seeing it, I couldn't help but feel a minor blush rise up. (It's really pretty... It might be better then Si...-)

That did it.

The moment that thought went through my mind, every instinct, even the part of my mind that knew something felt off earlier, screamed at me that something was wrong.

That my mind was being manipulated.

...That I was being violated.

And my aura erupted.

Everyone around me was pushed back, including Freya. And the moment my eyes met hers, I snarled at her. With my aura washing over me, I could feel it draining to get rid of whatever she was doing to me. That gave me clarity.

This bitch had tried to charm me.

And that was inexcusable. "HOW DARE YOU?!"

Around Orario, the shout of Sköll's Priestess rang out.

And those who recognized the voice stopped what they were doing, and turned towards the source.

{Maccillian's POV}

I blinked, then frowned when I heard that. Lili, who was on the opposite couch, plugging her ears and trying to be anywhere but here, seemed to hear it too. "Papa... Was that Best Mama?"

My frown deepened, and I got up. "Your mother's pissed..." Lili's eyes widened, and she jumped off the couch, then got on my back. I didn't react, outside of a hum of agreement, and walked to the door.

Something was wrong. And I was going to find out what.

Though, when I reached for the handle, I paused, and turned in the direction of Athena's library. Lili went 'huh' and I started growling. "Someone's doing a real good job at trying to piss me off." I opened the door, walked out, removed our gravity, and kicked off to the sky.

When I got high enough, I made a platform for me and Lili, who got off my back, and started looking around. As I did, I saw what was going on with Saya and Shizuka. Saya looked like she was going to be fine, and I decided we'd have to have a talk about stealing my whole flow. (The girls have this handled... I'll interfere if something goes wrong though. They're all grown women who are strong enough to kill anyone in this world, so I've got no reason to coddle them. So waiting's fine. I'll wait. Wait for them to finish, then make that bitch suffer.)

I told Lili my thoughts, and despite wanting to jump in, she nodded. With that done, we turned back to the scene, and I saw Saeko, Rika, and the hounds, move. I even made eye contact with Rika.

Despite being maybe 30 floors high, her eyesight was nothing to be underestimated. Though, that gave me an idea.

{Saeko's POV}

I, along with the hounds, took a second to process what we just heard, and after we did, we moved. Mari and I set down the children, and got up. Ryoshi was by my side in an instant, Mari had already shifted and ran, and Hou seemed ready to follow.

I spared a glance to my god, who gave me a nod of understanding. I returned it, and turned back to the hounds. I wasn't smiling as I looked at them, and neither were they. "Come boys, it seems we have someone to hunt." I shifted, and ran after Mari. I could hear the others follow after me, and returned my focus to what I had just heard. (Someone has angered Shizuka... If she does not end them, I will need to take my time tearing them apart. Piece. By. Piece.) We ran towards her, but after hearing an explosion, and the sound of Saya's voice, I paused.

The hounds recognized what I heard, and after sharing a glance, I barked an order. 'I'll find out what it was. Go to Mari and Shiuzka's side.' They gave me a nod, and ran ahead.

I turned back to the sound of Saya's voice, and frowned when I saw an aura slash be sent to the sky. (Someone has attacked us... I'll need to ensure they regret their decision.) And with that thought in mind, I ran towards to Saya. Though, as I felt her aura explode outwards, I hummed. (Well... Whoever is over there may very well be dead before I arrive.) I was still curious though, so I kept going towards her.

Even after receiving my lords invite, I ran. [Party invite from Maccillian Silver Zaka. Accept?]

{Rika's POV}

The second I heard Shizuka shout, I grabbed Triple Tap, strapped her onto my back, and shifted. My bestfriend was pissed, so that meant someone needed to be shot to hell.

I ignored the other guys and gals in our mansion, and ran through the halls.

I might've literally ran THROUGH a wall or two, but Loki wouldn't give a shit... Though, she might've cared about the gate I ran through. That shit was probably expensive. (Oh well. That doesn't matter. Shizuka's all that...-) I heard Saya shout out a curse, and the sound of an explosion, so I paused for a second. But only a second. I saw a platform up in the air, one of Silver's.

We made eye contact for a second, then I blinked when I heard a familiar message.

[Party invite from Maccillian Silver Zaka. Accept?]

{Saya's POV 5 minutes earlier}

"Ok. Test #11 with ability, 'Mystery.'This test should allow an aura satchel to function as a magic bag... Emphasis on 'should.' If this fucking thing fails again, I'm calling bullshit." Talking out loud was helping me with my annoyance at this ability. The chance to make 'Magic Items' was beyond tempting. But I underestimated how unpredictable the 'Miracle' aspect of this ability was.

The first time I used it, I accidentally made Pionós gain the ability to shoot out earth shards. Though, I removed it, since I didn't want a subpar enchantment on my main weapon. It was after another two tests, and an in depth discussion with Athena, that I figured out how this ability really worked.

'Mystery' worked in three parts.

The first part required me to focus on what I wanted my enchantment to be. And when I say focus, I mean REALLY focus. If I thought about something like a fire aspect, but got distracted during the process, I'd end up with something far weaker, if not outright different then what I wanted.

The next part required me to channel my mana into the ability, since it didn't take aura as a substitute, and that was an issue in itself. Like before, I realized I couldn't separate my affinity from my mana. That made making items with aspects of fire, lightning, and even wind, VERY hard. And that kinda pissed me off. "Why's it so hard to make a lightning shotgun?! That would've been so fucking awesome, but nooo. Stupid fucking water affinity."

Grumbling aside, the third part was compatibility. The enchantment and the item being enchanted needed to be compatible. I couldn't just use a bra, put a storage enchantment on it, and make a bra that could hold food or snacks. The best case would be it failing, and the worst would be it exploding.

But having things explode in my face was not a fun time, even if the explosion was blocked by my aura.

Athena had said the success and failure rate would change depending on the rank, and that was great information. I even managed to rank it up to G before this test, so I was making great progress with it. It helped that I felt the enchantments I could make got stronger the higher I ranked it up.

Anyway, back to my current test.

I made an aura satchel, a self sustaining/repairing one now that I could do that, and focused on it. Thankfully, aura constructs were capable of being enchanted, so I didn't need to go buy a bunch of satchels or bags to test with. "Alright. Beginning test." I channeled my mind towards my hands, cleared my mind, and focused on the concept of 'storage' or it being 'bigger on the inside.'

I could feel Mystery activate, and kept my mind focused on the satchel, instead of my depleting pool of 'mind.'

The process was working, I could feel it. I was getting close to completing it, I just knew I was.

Then the atmosphere around the library changed, and it broke my concentration. Mystery deactivated, and I felt my eye twitch. It was a twice a day ability at its current rank, and that was my second use of it today... I repressed my urge to shout, and just stood up. I made sure Pionós was fastened to my thigh, and walked towards my door. I could hear people, in armor by the way metal was hitting the wooden floors, come towards it as I did.

That fact made me stop, and think. (This is a trap. The library was supposed to be closed, and I know Athena wouldn't make a mistake as simple as that. So whoever these people are, they're here with an objective. There's nothing of value in here, and with Athena out, they aren't here for her. Unless they have horrible timing, but I doubt that.) I was getting a clear picture of the situation. (That disturbance from earlier... What was it?) I let my senses expand outwards, and blinked when I realized something. (I can't hear outside of the libraries bounds... Is this... It's a barrier.) That put the final piece of the puzzle together. (They're here for me... Well then, free stress relief for me.)

I grabbed and shifted Pionós into the shotgun configuration, and aimed it at the door as I charged it with aura. Whoever came through was going to get a taste of aura charged shotgun bullets.

The handle started rattling, and as the door opened, I fired. "ARGH!" Whoever got hit survived, and I clicked my tongue at that fact.

But with that done, I walked through my broken door, and took in the library. There were people set up on the second floor, mostly the mages, while the first floor was full with front liners. (Hmm... There's sixteen in total on the second floor. Ten more down here, so twenty six in all? Interesting. Two level 6's up there, one down here. Three... No, Four level 5's all in identical armor... The Gulliver Brothers... Ah... Freya's people. These many people just for me, huh? Guess someone knows just how dangerous a genius such as I, can be. Still, none of them ar...- What's that?) My senses honed in on the cat boy's bag. My senses couldn't figure out what was in it, and that was worrying. (There's something in there... Something dangerous.) Because why else would they bring a concealing bag unless it was holding something dangerous?

"Saya Takagi." The cat boy started speaking, and I narrowed my eyes at him. His smug, and annoyed, face was slightly pissing me off. "You have one chance to surrender. Only one. So you either lay down your weapon and roll over, or we'll take you in by force." His eyes roamed my body at this point, and I felt his stare aimed at my breasts. The way he licked his lips made me scowl at him. "Or don't. I'm all for doing this the hard way." That did it.

I made Pionós reform into its whip form, and cracked it against the ground. The cat boy, and everyone else got ready to fight, and I sneered at them. "Come on then. I can't wait to parade your corpses up to that slut Freya herself." Calling their goddess a slut was a VERY effective taunt. They magic users started their chants, while some of the front liners charged at me. The closest one, another one of the brothers, came at me with a roar, and I scoffed. "Dumb ass." Pionós flashed with aura, and I swung. A long slash of aura flew towards the brother, and crashed into him, and kept going.

I knew the library wasn't going to survive this encounter, so I decided to apologize for destroying it later, and go as hard as I wanted now.

The brother, and my slash, flew through the wall, and out onto the street. There was a momentary silence/stillness, and then the mages finished chanting. Seeing the front liners, and feeling the mages disappear, I let my aura coat me, and formed a dome to defend myself, as I watched fireballs, lightning, earth spears, and water bullets crashed into it.

The resulting explosion rocked the library, and after the smoke cleared, I took in my situation. (The library is pretty much gone, the mages seemed to have re-positioned on the nearby rooftops, the front liners are in the streets, and the cat b...- Where's the cat boy?) Moments after that thought, I recognized the feeling of a VERY fast body coming my way. It was only because of my constant sparring against Saeko that I was able to respond. I shifted, and hit the ground.

That made me see the cat boy flash passed me, and take in what was in his hand... A gold necklace, that my senses from Mystery informed me about what it was... (THEY WANT TO CHARM ME?! TO FUCKING ENSLAVE ME?! OH FUCK THAT!) I shifted back, and before the cat boy could say anything, I transformed. Something these fuckers didn't know, was our Werewolf form worked on a multiplier. In my base form, I was a level 3 with the stats of a level 5, almost 6. But in Werewolf form? Well, 6x3 = 18.

It was just basic math.

I let my aura explode out, and sent a 20% slash at the cat boy. "EAT SHIT!" The slash tore through the street, and anyone that hadn't evacuated it, and reached the cat boy. His eyes widened, and despite raising his sword to defend, it went through it, and bisected him. I watched as his eyes showed confusion, and lost their light as his torso fell off.

The street was filled with silence, and I turned to meet the eyes of the main magic caster. The disbelief in his face quickly morphed into rage, and he clenched his teeth. "FOR ALLEN!" Roars of agreement replaced the silence, and I grinned.

"YOU FUCKERS ARE GOING TO JOIN HIM SOON!" My aura flashed after that, and I pulled a page out of Zaka's book. I begun forming my legion, and howled into the sky. My howl was joined by Beowolves, the trumpeting of Megoliaths, the caws of Nevermore, the yowls of Sabyrs, roars of Manticores, Teryx, and a Grimm Dragon. "Tá an Grimm léigiún!" I turned towards the mages, and front liners, and flashed them a grin with all my teeth. "Tá an fiach ar!"

And we charged.

Though, I almost slipped when I heard what came up next. [Party invite from Maccillian Silver Zaka. Accept?]

{Shizuka's POV}

I could feel my flames surge after my shout, and after ignoring whatever reaction came from the girls and other people around us, I stomped and burst towards the bitch with my fist cocked back. She had tried to manipulate me. To taint my mind.

I was going to make her PAY for that!

As soon as I reached her, I swung.

But my fist didn't connect. It was caught by the man known as Ottar.

Our eyes met, and I growled at him. "Move." His eyed hardened, and he increased the grip he had on my fist. He didn't move. He stood in my way. And that was all that mattered. "I. SAID. MOVE!" I reared my other fist back, and transformed as I sent it towards him. His eyes widened for the briefest of moments, before it slammed into him, sending him flying. I heard something snap, which meant he'd need some time to get himself back.

With nothing in my way, I glared down towards the whore who tried to taint my mind, and stalked towards her. I didn't care about the surprise or fear on her features. All I cared about was tearing out her spine and beating her with it.

But as I took a step forward, my instincts warned me of an attack, and I raised my arms to block the fist of Ottar, who had somehow recovered enough to move, and returned in a matter of seconds. Blocking his hit made me skid back a bit, and I glared at the man in front of me. His tux was destroyed, fragments of rubble littered his form, and I could see the bloody bruise that had formed from my attack. "You shall not touch her." His words made me growl, and I kicked towards his knee.

He saw the attack coming, and somehow disengaged before it connected. But again, he blocked my path towards my prey, and that was unacceptable. She needed to PAY!

I held an arm out, and molded my aura. He tensed, and I could feel something within him continue to change. He was getting stronger, but it was coming at a price. (Saya was right.) I could feel it. His life was slowly slipping away. Not fast enough for him to suddenly drop dead, but it was still happening. But it didn't matter. I finished molding my Boomstick, the normal one, and slammed the hilt into the ground. "Move or die. This is your LAST warning." His response was to growl at me, and pull two long and dark swords from thin air.

But it was enough. I knew where he stood. I stomped the ground again, and moved towards him in a blur of speed. "THEN DIE!" I charged towards him, and I might've heard something in my mind, but I didn't pay too much attention to it.

I had prey, and someone was stopping me from getting it. All that mattered was tearing him apart, then killing that whore.

Anything else could come after.

[Omake - Dodged a bullet. Hermes' POV]

(Oh sweet merciful gods. I knew this would come back to bite her.) Seeing Ottar be punched through the building made me beyond happy that I stopped trying to check in on Bell after they 'caught' me. If I hadn't... I took a look at the gorgeous Werewolf, saw the sheer anger and hate radiate from her, and gulped. (Thank gods.)

Shaking that thought away, I looked around, and took in the room. Gods and children alike, scrambled, and either ran away, or moved to another side of the room to watch the spectacle. No one was going to interfere, mainly because of fear.

But on the other hand... Looking over to Hestia, and her posse, I saw their reaction to the situation.

Athena, Loki, and Ais were all wide eyed, and stared at Shizuka.

Cinder was growling, and prepared to go into the fray.

And then there was Hestia. She was her gritting her teeth as she looked on, and I shook. She wasn't worried, no.

Like the Werewolf woman, she was pissed.

And she was glowing. Fully prepared to unleash her Arcanium, consequences be damned.

Something I only brought up once before was both the multiplier, and how 'minor' the resistance is. Like Saya says earlier, and what was shown when Yin pulled up Werewolf form, is that it's a 3x MULTIPLIER.

And for the resistance, it CAN be overpowered, and considering Freya has the inherent ability to charm, and is a literal goddess, it makes sense for the resistance to be overpowered, ring or not. But, the feeling of something being wrong/off, and one good thought, was enough to break free.
