Over all, on this trip Haile and the other's can say..especially Haile, without lots of people, India, is a pretty boring fucking place, like dead zone, natural still exists but it feels unalive somehow with no one around.
."Hera your brother really did a number on this place, can't even get a cup of tea around here."Aika said just making sport to ease the atmosphere up a bit and make it lively.
Hera shrugged."My brother is good at that, he is the God of Death and of the Underworld, it's his job to make things boring, infact he takes pride in being able to make anything boring, it's a gift."She said making a small smile.
."You really must love your brother huh, your cold face only changes when someone mentions Haile or your brothers."Akeno said with a smile of her own, she can't really relate to having brother's, Kiba doesn't count.
Hera's eyes twitch."Since when was my face cold, this is my thinking face, don't you dare say that I must be thinking hard all the time."She said looking annoyed, but she really wasn't.
."Hey, you said it not me."Aika said raising her hands, she didn't say a word.
Hera shook her head."*Sigh* my brothers Hades and Posidon has always taken care of me from birth, unlike that bastard Zeus, if he wasn't crown king I would have never been forced to get with him to keep balance."She said with a bit of regret.
."Zeus was your brother wasn't he, if I was still apart of the church, I would have condemned you to eternal suffering for incest, but since I'm not anymore, I suppose it's not my problem anymore."Xenovia said casually, just feeling the need to mention that.
Hera gave her a side glance."You must have forgotten who I am, the only one of the Christianity that could've talk to me is the Biblical God himself but even that would not have gone down smoothly for him."She said with a smirk on her face.
."Leave it as that, we are allies now, the only way you can be my enemy is if you betrayed him right there, if you do my job as Guardian is to make sure you don't exist anymore, lover or not."Guhna said plainly, that was her duty, guarding the throne of the true God.
Hera nodded."I'm fine with that, if you can that is, but either way, if I betrayed my husband it is not of my own will so, I want no hesitation, take off my head and make sure to destroy my soul."She said calmly taking a glance to the sky's above.
."Will do Hera."Guhna said with a smile, she rubbed her ring on her finger, she has a secret weapon that none of them knows the true power of, even herself.
Haile said nothing to this conversation, he just let them do what they want to, he could order them all he wants to, but when feelings get involved they will do what they want anyway, but this is good, the plan anyway was for them to create a divine government with him as king.
Anvi walking in the back looked at him strangely, she wondered why he didn't say anything to his own women wanting to kill each other, maybe he liked it that way, people have odd fetishes after all.
They continue on, seeing the destruction all around, the blood coating the ground, walking over bones, over flesh and some bodies which hurt Nalisa, body's of men, women and children, even of animal littered the place, creating entire new landscapes.
After a few minutes Haile came to a halt bring the other's to stop as well, the reason was they had encountered a sea infront of them.
."This seems to be the edge of the place we are in, now we will be entering new territory, it also seems to be heavily populated and also mixes of great human level power is circulating."Haile said gazing into the distance over the mass body of water into the other side of india.
Haile frowned slightly looking at the water, besides Anvi the other's noticed his expression and payed attention to the water.
*Splash*!
*Shhh*!!!
Creating a small wave coming out the water in front of them was an odd undead, it had a body of bones but it's hands were still meat and muscular.
The undead had green glowing lights for eyes and a large war hammer on it's back, but as ferocious and intimidating as it seemed, some of it was taken away by its missing jaw, it definitely got bitch slapped.
This undead was the undead general who defeated all the 12 great Indian magicians, he look surprised looking at Haile and the other's.
."Hmm, humans, weird, how comes I didn't feel anything."The undead general said to himself, he looked at all the humans before him, his gaze stopping on the person in the center.
The undead general seem to have grinned."Humans, have you seen a few flying people anywhere around here, if you tell me I'll let you live."He said letting his presence flow out.
The girls glanced at Hera and almost felt offended for her, Hera's left eyebrow twitch violently, she was quite peeved."I am not pleased, not pleased at all."She said carry an aggressive grit and growl to her voice.
The General hearing that looked at her and was hit with a familiar feeling, but he doesn't know what it meant."You..you seem...do I know you, Mm but how???."He tilt his head in a baffled confusion.
."It seems I need to teach you to respect your superiors in place of my brother Hades."Hera said with an icy tone, she did not like the feeling of being disrespected infront of her husband.
The General stared at Hera, slowing but surely by some odd miracle cold sweat formed small beads on his forehead and his bones face looked a small shade of blue and green, it shouldn't even be possible for him to feel fear.
Hera smirked aggressively seeing ths sudden change."Huh, now remembering now who you're dealing with, what do you have to say for yourself now general class undead."She fold her arms demanding an answer.
."W-we-w-well Lady-no your great majesty I am simply just a creation of-of-of Master Hades I was not given all the knowledge in the world, please forgive me."The General spoke quickly, he got down on his knees on the dirty floor bowing his head.
Nalisa looked at this undead with irritation."Do you not feel anything killing all those innocent children, they did not deserve any of this, treated like play toys for your twisted master."She said heavily sadden, she held Haile's arm with her fingers gently, she completely skipped over the fact that Haile orchestrated this entire event.
Haile whistled blowing out mostly just air turning his head away.
The general's green eyes flashed at the disrespect to his creator but instantly contained himself, he ignored her and kept kneeling in Hera's direction.
Haile pat Nalisa's head, though he would like if she toughen up a bit but he likes that purity of hers that withstood all the terrible stuff she went through.
."Skeleton man, how many of you did Hades dispatch to destroy the peace of india, you don't seem very strong."Haile said casually barely glancing over it.
The General was now irritated."Who do you think you are to ask me that, dare even say my Masters name like nothing you deserve dea-."He said but was silenced instant.
*Hhah*!!!
The general's head was turned to fine dust by a back hand of none other than Nalisa, she stepped to his still standing body and pulled off an arm, leg, rib, basically she dismantled his entire frame.
*Crunch*!!!
*Crunch*!!!
*Squash*!!!
*Crunch*!!!
Nalisa went around standing on and grinding up the white bones into powder and making a bloody mess of his two fleshy arms.
Hera looked surprised, she was just going to silence the fool, guess she need not make a move anymore, he was more than dead, deader, further?
."Haa, I think that is enough."Nalisa said wiping her forehead with a satisfied smile, she turn to Akeno.
Nalisa pointed at the white dust and flesh on the ground."Miss Akeno, if I may ask, would you be able to put him back together and revive hm from that?."She asked curiously her eyes sparkling innocently.
."Well I might be able t-."Akeno said but froze up looking at Nalisa.
.""Rewrite:True Dead Existence"".
Nalisa spoke with a smile on her face pointing her hand at the bone dust and flesh, just like that with no disturbance they all blinked out of existence.
Everyone just observed this with no words, even Haile was in stunned silence, he just watched her oddly.
Nalisa then turned around to see everyone looking at her her."What?."She asked with a cute head tilt.
.""Nothing"".
Everyone shook their heads at the same time exchanging glances, Haile sighed in pity of himself.'I knew it, it was way to good to be true wasn't it, I can never have a woman around me that is special but not crazy.'He thought with a deeper sigh.
."Should we continue on master, or do you want to rest?."Nalisa ask confused seeing him just staring of into space not saying anything.
Haile snapped back to reality."Yea, come on, let's go across, maybe we'll see those people the two times dead bastard spoke of come."He said rising into the sky hugging Koneko's waist, he blasted off.
*Shh*!
*Shh*!
*Shh*!
*Shh*!
*Shh*!
*Shh*!
*Shh*!
*Shh*!
All the girls one by one jumped into the air flying off behind Haile, Anvi jumped in the air, but unlike the others, she fell right on her ass in shock.
."Oh yeah, I can't fly, HEY WAIT FOR ME!."Anvi screamed out to them in horror, she watched the flashes zoom across the sea at lightning speed.
.""Kyaa!"".
Seeing her crisis it seems that someone lend her some saving grace, Anvi's body glow with a milky white aura coated in a blue and golden outline, she floated along for the ride.
It didn't take long at all for them to reach the otherside, with Anvi finally catching up they slow glide over the land, it was almost like a lone island by itself.
Haile frowned."Underground city, Mm, but why is everyone running around like that."He said to himself looking at the ground below.
."Are the people in hiding, Master I feel an energy grid running underground, it is flowing in a weird pattern."Nalisa said looking at it, she looked around.
Haile gave her an eyebrow raise."I thought you said you never heard of sacred geometry before, that pattern is sacred geometry dictating the flow of energy, this seems to be a headquarters of sorts, everyone here is human, but everyone has magic."He said zooming in his eyes looking at someone on the surface running with a panicked expression.
."A little boy, should we go down and ask him some questions?."Aika ask Haile, she was sitting on a lust contruct chair she made.
Haile thought about it then nod, he gently descended from the air followed by the other, they got close enough to see the boys appearance.
He was a short boy around 5'2, he looks to be about 13-14, he had dark blue hair and complimentary light blue eyes, he had dark skin much like Haile, he was wearing a fiction like wizard or sorcerer robe, on the back was marked Apprentice N°963.
."Husband, seeing how hysterical the boy is, I think I should go down alone, he might be frightened if we all go at once."Hera spoke softly, she believed she had the perfect motherly presence, she is afterall a Goddess of marriage and family.
The girl's nodded hesitantly, she is right but she also has a temper, kinda cancels out the motherliness.
."Seems reasonable, go ahead Hera."Haile said shrugging, he crossed his feet in lotus position in the air.
Koneko positioned herself right on his lap snuggling up with him, Xenovia and Guhna just came gently to his left and right respectively with Guhna standing closer.
Serafall simply and happily went behind him and put her arms around his neck hugging him and rubbing her face on his.
Nalisa put herself behind everyone else, she was afterall the maid, naturally she knows her position in the grandscheme same as everyone else.
Melody and Akeno just was left with the rest of the space which was not by Haile cause they moved to slow, they exchanged a glance and shook their heads with a chuckle.
Hera went down to the boy, she flew down hovering overhead while the boy ran for his life from seemingly an invisible foe.
.""Haa haa haa haa mama, I-I can't believe this is happening *sniffled*"".
The boy held back tears wiping his eyes, but he didn't stop running, that was because he got news that his village had been invaded by demonic bone creatures.
There was supposedly no survivors, but he didn't believe it one bit, his mother must be alive, she wouldn't just die like that, she is a strong woman, sadly though no one wanted to help him look for her.
So he has to do it himself, he will find his mother no matter what it takes, he promised her.
."Haa Why is..why is this happening to us mama, I'm sorry I couldn't..I couldn't create that great life I promised you *sob*."The boy cried unable to contain his tears any longer.
Hera listened to the boy's cry, it was just heart breaking, especially by how delusional the boy had gotten."Hello child."She said gracefully.
The boy who was running recklessly felt his heart skip a few beat, that was because he heard a voice behind him making his legs go weak.
*Crack*!
.""Ahhh AhGg!!!"".
*Bam*!!!
The boy being so scared stepped wrong on a piece of tree branch and slide out falling down back first.
."Oh my, well at least his spine broke his fall haha."Akeno said with her hand on her mouth, she chuckled lightly with the other's.
Hera land on the ground softly, she walked over to the boy looking down at him, she put her hands on her waist."Are you that scared of some random voice, you humans are pathetic, child get up, I want to talk to you."She said casually not putting on airs.
The boy layed on the ground, completely in silence, he looked up at Hera with glazed eyes, he almost couldn't believe what he was seeing."..Beautiful..."He said softly, his heart pounding in his chest.
."Thank you child but flattery will get you nowhere, now stand up, is the ground that comfortable."Hera said calmly, it was natural for all creation to be in love with her so it did nothing to change her mood.
Hearing this the boy still didn't move."Are you... a Goddess?."He asked looking captivated and mesmerized, he might just become a believer in the God's if so.
."*Sigh* men, just can't help yourselves huh, weren't you just crying for your mother just then, given up on her already."Hera spoke in disgust, it seems her prejudice was not exactly all gone.
The boy's eyes widened."Oh yeah mama, please angel, Goddess whatever, help me, my mother is in danger, please help us!."He said desperately getting up and kneeling bowing his head to the ground.
."Wait First tell me something, what is this place and where is everyone."Hera asked skillfully ignoring his question and putting on the pressure.
The boy looked up in confusion."Huh, you don't know, then how did you get here, my teacher said that only magicians can come here."He said with question marks above his head.
."Ignoring that, just answer the question, the fact that I'm here must say it all, right, why ask the obvious."Hera said giving the ignorant boy a side eye folding her arms looking visibly irritated so the boy will hurry up.
As expected seeing her annoyed expression he grew fearful."Oh yeah, sorry for asking, this place is the headquarters of true magic, also called the India Magicians Council, it is located at the absolute center of india to draw and protect the power of the leylines."He said spilling everything, probably some things that were supposed to be secret, even he doesn't know why he said all that.
."Mm, interesting, so this place is the human magician base, so where exactly is it."Hera asked, she heard what Haile said but she'll ask the boy anyway.
The boy hesitated for a bit but was feeling compelled to just tell her, it probably won't do any harm, what can she do, she is just one woman.
Hera frowned, she look looked back into the sky directly at a pink glowing Aika who wave at her casually, Aika gave her a thumbs up, Hera shook her head with a sigh.
."Um, the base is actually far underground, the core is the laylines themselves, uh, everyone was told to escape as a disaster is coming but because of the Elder Magicians who objected, as also all the knowledge of eons is stored here they are just going to put up a large protective barrier around."The boy said with a confused expression on his face, he held his mouth afterwards.
Hera smiled."Alright thank you very much, I hope you fine your mother child, goodbye."She said turning around and walking away like nothing.
The boy watched her with his jaw dropped, his eyes looking down to where they shouldn't be, then he had a realization."WAIT, YOU SAID YOU'LL HELP ME FIND MY MOTHER!!!."He shouted out.
."Huh, when did I say that exactly, goodbye child."Hera said not even glancing back, she disappeared into mist silently.
The boy dropped to his knees in shock and betrayal, but he need not worry, this is only the start of his adventure, from now on he will never trust another woman and will also become strong and bald helping other men to also become bald and strong.

Hera casually came back to the group who were watching her with exasperation."What, you all wanted more information?."She asked folding her arms.
."That was not nice miss Hera, you can't lead on a little boy like that, you might have hurt him badly."Nalisa said feeling bad for the boy who is still down there looking off into space.
Akeno laughed."Look at him, he was in love at first sight, he will never trust another pretty woman, but you've given him some valuable information, the more beautiful, the more deadly."She said with smirk creasing her violet eyes that flashed with a sadistic light, she licked her lips.
Haile nodded his head at that."Definitely true, all of the beautiful women are crazy as hel-."He said then stop seeing all of them staring at him....
