Chapter 335: Reconciliation (4)

My wings are feathery like an angel's wing and light grey in color and are somewhat sparkling, and I got a bit of a weird sensation so I tried inject mana into it and the edge of each feat lit up with tiny specks of blue flames.

"These are huge, my back feels really unbalance. Woah." I then almost fell backwards a bit as it felt weird having extra weight on the back, but I managed to stand my ground.

"Why is my wings sparkling like stars in the night sky? And why are they ablaze? I know my bond is a phoenix, but this is just ridiculous."

"That would be from my side." Hecate answered

"But you don't have wings."

"Goddess of magic and my symbol is a pair of torches. Your wings glimmering symbolized magical essence and the fire represent my torches." Hecate explained "The grey color is from Hypnos, but yours is lighter in color. And I may not be born with wings, but I can use magic to create them."

< How did Nyx gave birth to a winged twin like Hypnos and Thanatos...? I guess there are somethings better left unanswered.>

My wings then started flapping, they're like my new limbs and i have a hard time controlling them.

"Ok, Hypnos, teach him as me and...Elektra watch over you" Pasithea instructed "Please be friendly, both of you."

"How the hell do I stop them?" My wings then blew flames everywhere, the cloud we're standing on then exploded as we fall down. The rest use magic to fly up but I'm trying to flap my wings, but it's really hard controlling new limbs.

Hecate and Hypnos are flying by my side. Hecate is using magic and just watching along while Hypnos is trying to help me fly as I continue to fall.

3rd person view

Albert arrived back at the world alongside Aenon. They come out of a portal in their home while most of their clothes torn and body full of injuries but they are now celestials.

Albert's father, the count, then came rushing towards him telling him about the abduction of Eleanor but Albert knew that already, at least the gist of it.

Helena then got got approached by Dabria, she was then told of Perseus defeat and how Eros would come for them next using Eleanor as a hostage.

-That's the gist of things, but what will we do? I can team up with all of you to fight him, but we still won't win.- Helena informed them as Dabria left to go back to what she was doing

-But Eros have someone on their side who can stop time- Aenon pointed out -He's aiming for Albert alone.-

-I can take a big defeat, we faced them a lot- Albert responded -But...even as a celestial and feeling stronger. We really are useless in the grand scheme of things, the alliance and everything, we're just leaving it to Perseus who is just out of recovery-

-We can always help him find Cain, Dabria said that he's located in Tartarus currently.- Helena suggested -Your world traveling abilities will take a while for us to get to the underworld, I never been there before, so we will have to ask Zeus for help-

-Except he won't. Not after he realized that Luca is actually a guy, he will not help us for a whole month.- Aenon responded

-Well let's clean up first- Albert said -As part of our deal, we'll help gather allies and especially during the banquet, if we stand out by beating a lot of reincarnates during their tournament, we can make friends with a few gods.-

*****

Albert and Aenon then made a visit to Cecily's home and gave her a report but hid a few details as she does not know about him being a reincarnate nor Helena since he doesn't feel like she should know it yet.

Time then stopped around Albert.

"Nice girlfriend and dragon you got there." A familiar female voice snickered

Albert then sees Eros and Eleanor in the room.

"Eleanor, what-"

"Stop trying to convince her." Eros advised with a smug face "I used my arrow on her, unless Perseus and his gang who got the help of my mother, she isn't immune to its effects. I used my arrows to turn every sort of affection into hate."

Albert then realized what he meant, what Perseus warned them all about. Eros' chaotic personality, he can make you fall in love with anything, even an inanimate object if he wants to. But at the same time, for entertainment, he can also take away affection and ruined his prey's life.

But this time, he's the prey and no matter what he says, the current Eleanor will never be able to be reasoned with.

"Kill her." Eros ordered "I'll find a god to revive her back and I'll make her normal again. If you just beat her and refuse to kill her, I'll kill her and beat you badly to near death."

"Perseus is right after all." Albert gripped his fist "You are nothing but a bastard, can't believe I had doubts about you."

"Love and hate goes hand in hand, dear Albert." Eros chuckled "One cannot exist without the other, everything must have a balance. There's a reason for why my mother, the goddess of love, gets along with my father, Ares, the god of war. Love and hate are associated with each other whether you like it or not."

The next sight of what will happen angered him the most, more than Perseus leaving and working for the enemy, his massacre, his lack of remorse for the sake of revenge. Eros and Eleanor kissed, and on Eros' face is a face of pure amusement.

"Aren't you embarrassed to do that in front of your friend, my love?" Eros asked

Albert was beyond angry as he charged at Eros. Eleanor would never do such a thing, Eros used his arrows to manipulate her feelings, to make her do things against her will.

Albert swung his sword down that is clad with aura at Eros, but what's next also shocked him as Eleanor blocked the attack with her staff, his sword cut through the stuff and he barely managed to stop the sword as his sword managed to touched her head and there was blood flow.

"If you want him, you have to go through me." Eleanor threatened as she kicked him away

"Kill her, Albert." Eros laughed "Otherwise she will stay like this, even Perseus won't be able to reverse this effect. He's too young to master 'absolute magic control' and manipulate magic to his will."

"I don't hurt my friends." Albert snarled

"Too bad," Eros shrugged as he turned to Eleanor "Go do what you want, he won't fight back against you. I'll help."
