3rd person view
In the original world...
As usual, Phoenix academy visits Neelofar to deepen their relationship ties. Albert and Aenon who are royal bodyguards, they will accompany the Artian royal family to meet up with Neelofar's royal family while the academy have joint practice.
After a long discussion, they all go to spectate over the joint practice between the 2 academy.
"Is that the engagement ring?" Cecily asked Cordelia as she saw the ring on her hand
"No, Perseus called it a promise ring" Cordelia giggled "Beautiful, isn't it?"
"What's that?" Eleanor asked to which Albert explained it
"I swear, you 2 sometimes know weird things despite never being raised together, it's like as if you were born in different worlds in your past life or something" Eleanor joked "Well Cecily, expect one from Albert soon"
-She's not wrong- Aenon nodded -You are both reincarnates-
-Well, it seems like our worlds share some similarities which still makes me question how can he kill people so easily- Albert sighs -I still hesitate to kill people, and why did that god hate him so much?-
-We shouldn't question the higher up so much- Helena advised -Zeus maybe a king and one of the strongest gods, but he's still one of the more terrible ones-
-Yeah, he kept hitting on you during our whole session- Aenon mentioned -He was also eyeing your body-
-Hey, isn't that the girl that Elliot used to like?- Helena asked as she saw Eliza
Cordelia then saw Eliza who comes to also spectate the event which is unusual for her.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Cordelia asked her
"Just taking a break" Eliza answered "Making Perseus a new sword is hard considering how great his last one was"
"What happened to Perseus' sword?" Albert asked
"Oh something about being merged with his body, blah blah blah, descendant of a few gods, details details..." Eliza answered
-Wait, did she say he's a descendant of gods?- Aenon asked
-Well I heard the rumors, but at least now we got confirmation- Helena said -But strange...I can sense another life presence on her...it's new, like as if it just formed, it just got...fertilized....-
-She's pregnant?- Albert asked
-Yes, this kind of stuff is Dabria's specialty since she's a goddess of life, but yes, she's newly pregnant- Helena confirmed -I'm sure of it-
-We should tell her- Aenon suggested -But whisper it to her. Albert, you can use sound magic, whisper it without the others overhearing it. Eleanor and her bond will hear it if you don't-
"Miss Eliza, can I tell you something for a bit?" Albert requested "In private?"
"...Sure" Eliza nodded
Albert then led her a few meters away and used sound magic to not make others overhear their conversation and whispered it to her.
"You can scream, no one will hear a sound" Albert said
"Yeah, shut it down, I need to tell Cordelia" Eliza requested with a small hint of panic
-Why?- Albert asked but did as she asked
-Maybe Perseus cheat on the princess with her- Aenon joked
"Cordelia, I may be pregnant" Eliza told her aloud
"What?" Cordelia exclaimed "When did you-"
"I thought it was a saf-oh what will I tell him?"
"Deep breaths, calm down" Cordelia instructed
"Congratulations, I may be intruding here, but who's the father?" Eleanor asked
"Perseus obviously" Cordelia answered as she comforted Eliza who was now chewing on her fingernails
"The father is who now?" Castor asked as he couldn't help but listened to the conversation
"It's Perseus alright! Who else would it be?" Eliza retorted
-Wow, your assistant dumped you and got another girl pregnant- Wally chuckled as he and Emma overheard the situation
-He didn't dump me- Emma retorted -Though him having a child is surprising-
"But she's-" Cecily then look between her and Cordelia
"No, he's not cheating. Long story short, we're sharing him" Cordelia explained "He didn't really have a say in it, he didn't mind though. But th-this is great!"
"Really?" Eliza asked "Just the other day, he just said he isn't ready for a kid"
"Just take a deep breath, alright? You known him longer than me, he's going to be happy about this" Cordelia comforted her "He might black out a bit though"
"Right, happy about this" Eliza repeated "Maybe, I'm the only one worrying about this..."
-Perseus should be doing something about his world traveling trips, is there any other way that we can world travel without having the need of that medallion?- Albert asked
-I'll check through my manual...oh...Ok, you're definitely not going to like it- Helena answered
-Well tell us- Aenon said -We can't ask the seekers to give it to us as they prioritize their own, if we fight for it, they'll retaliate and we die-

Back to Perseus the 4th wall breaker little stupid adventure...
Water magic also barely worked as all of it turn into steam the moment they form. And it seems like Azlin isn't a long as I can see 2 more guys coming out of nowhere, Dabria said that one is a smoke god and the other is a magma god, which is kinda obvious, since one's body is made of smoke and the other is made of magma, thanks Dabria for stating the obvious.
-You're welcome, but please don't say it sarcastically next time- Dabria responded
-Don't interrupt my narration-
Oh by the way, you're probably waiting for their names, right? Yeah, name them yourself, it was too hard to pronounce, just call the smoke one Bob1 and the magma one Bob2.
| Really creative there |
Luckily we got Stella with us, we can manage against the 3 of them. Jasper and Maska relies more on aura and physical attack, which would usually be great against the gods since they will shut down magic attacks, but physical attacks are barely effective these guys mortal form.
But it still ruined their body a bit if you use aura, so with Jasper, Maska, and Damon's fierce onslaught mix of physical attacks, and they are also slowed down due to them being drowsy under the effects of the void of eternal dreams.
It distracted them enough from the rest of us from using their eyes to shut our spells which was definitely effective against them. I helped minimize the damage as I help suck some spells into my ring.
"Alright, time to use the power of our training"
-Dabria, will you join? You can take one on your own-
-Sorry, but I have rules- Dabria answered -Which are now being altered after Eros' declaration of war, so wait a few month till I can-
I then used the spell Horus taught me as my right eye glowed golden light and all the fire and lava in the surroundings gathered into a ball which keeps expanding by the second and it is also sucking in Azlin's flame body.
"H-How?! I'm a god!" Azlin exclaimed
"Hecate's the goddess of magic, and I'm her descendant, doofus. A spell of this level should be expected"
