Chapter 258: Mothers (5)

Leilah POV

Damn it, he locked me in, I can't shadow travel outside nor teleport, these rooms were made to block that whenever it's locked because...well, our parents said that it was to not disturb their mommy and daddy time.

I could destroy the door, but I don't want to damage the property, since it's our way home as the house now apparently functions as a teleporter between our planet and the moon.

After I heard someone walk by, I just knock on the door and said 'help' calmly and repeatedly until the process till I got their attention.

"Uh, Mom, what do you need?" the voice on the other side sounds like Ivy

"Can you go find the key? Your father locked me in here and I don't want to damage the property."

"Ok? But can't you just teleport out of there? It's not far and it'll take so less mana for such a short distance."

"I'll explain later."

*****

"...Ok." Ivy said after she listened to my explanation.

Apparently, Perseus left the key with Lilith under the promise of keeping me away for a long time so she can have him to herself since I would have been stuck in there and can do nothing about it, so Lilith wasn't really willing to let the key go since Perseus won't be gone for long.

So Ivy had to go ask Asher for help who just threatened to say how many children Lilith has in the future, the thought scared her so much that she gave the key.

"She has more than just Orion?"

"I'm not going to tell you, I already made one mistake of revealing about Mom Dawn." she replied and used her hands to cover her mouth.

"Come on, a yes or no would suffice, your father isn't here."

She only shook her head in response.

"I'm not saying anything." she replied nervously

"Fine, damn him. He's smart and got good children."

I then went to find Lilith who was currently reading one of Mom's old diary for fun, this house still contained many things that were left behind by our parents, some from the older days when they weren't born and some of which was right around the time they left.

She's currently in Amethyst's room which smelled heavily of lavender, the walls were light blue in color, but the rest was purple-themed.

While a majestic bed draped in silky lavender curtains forms a dreamy canopy. A vanity table adorned with delicate lavender flowers and a bookshelf filled with novels add touches of elegance.

The room is illuminated by soft fairy lights and moonlight streaming through sheer lavender curtains, creating a tranquil and enchanting space.

|Author's note: Yo, I finally used illuminated and tranquil, let's go, my brain is expanding.|

It's just like her, I gotta say, but for Lilith to be in such a room is strange, the smell was strong, and the decoration was definitely not her style.

"Really? You fell for his words?"

"What's wrong with that?" she replied "I don't mind sharing every now and then, it's fun, but you can't blame me for wanting him for myself sometimes."

The house then shook repeatedly, it calmed down for a bit but continued for the next 5 minutes as we all then rushed to the place where Perseus was last scene only to see him and the fox having soot all over and burnt.

"So, did you guys know that the orb is called the dragons' orb by Jerah?" Perseus asked as I put out the fire in his head.

"Why?"

"The fucker uses the original orb to power an automaton dragon, if we want it, we have to kill it."

"Oh, that's easy." Ruka replied "We can just-"

"Wait, I'm not finished, so we enter this room and the dragon scanned me and Buddy and there's this barrier created right behind us, we can go in and out, but only those he scanned, like how I've made a soul bond with Buddy, the orb made a soul bond with me.

"If I want it, only me and Buddy have to fight it, the barrier is to keep everyone else out." he explained "Woo, the dragon can't go past the barrier, so I'll go get some rest for now and wash up the fucker...he has an 11th star."

"How does it have an 11th star if it's not a true living being, heck, I don't even think that dad knows of its existence." Lilith pointed out

"I don't know, the orb evolved somehow and helped power the dragon up. The dragon was the one that told me all this, it somehow learned to speak, and unrelated, the dragon got a very seducing male voice."

"Hey, we're right here."

"Don't worry, I don't feel attracted to dragons."

"So what now? Even with that fox, I doubt you can beat an existence that only existed in Trevor's theory." Lilith asked

"Isn't Lachlan an 11th star?"

"I'll give you a hint, no, more like 10 and a half, that's the best we've gone even after years of evolution, and just the 2 of you, you stand no chance."

"Wow, so what, these 3 are stuck here after everything they did to help? I ain't letting that happen, first, I'll need a shower."

"We don't have showers nor toilets." I told him

"What?"

"Did you not notice?"

"Why?"

"We don't need them? And if we want a bath, we lived by a hot spring."

"Damn, I'll create a makeshift shower and wash up with water magic, as for the toilet, I'll use that waste slime to help destroy waste and put it at the bottom of the toilet.

*****

Perseus went to wash up with the fox, so I wandered down the tunnel to go and see the so-called dragon only to hit an invisible barrier that lit up in a light blue color once I made contact with it, and behind it...

I can see the dragon and in its chest is an orb about the size of a football(soccer ball), in it are 11 stars floating around in a motion of particles moving around in water.
