Tale of the Holy Grail

There are secrets left to be kept in the human realm, no one can ever know the secrets that the God's hold. However, during the duration of Athena's rampage—the Goddess of War. Not only did Armenia suffer, even the human realm was involved. 

There is a child, that child was wonderful and a blessing but fate one day blessed her with the cruelest prophecy. A fate to determine her future, and be a burden of the responsibility that involves the safety of both Armenia and the human realm.

Her existence on the other side is already dangerous, humans must not know the secrets that even the cosmos had not told. This is why she must leave this place and return to the place where she was an outcast.

Upon learning the truth during her recovery in her 14th year of age, every mad question fell on her head. Why did they leave her? Why did her father abandon her? Where is her father? Her mother? What is her reason for living? Why and what, who and where, every question that she had and couldn't be answered.

Once she turned 15, everything changed for her. She began acting the opposite way of what a normal person would do. She loses herself amidst battle, she doesn't appear to be herself when holding and wielding her sword,  she loses control over powers.

Yet again, what can she do? She lacks so much family, dearly, someone she can trust and a heart that isn't made out of ice. She lets her power control herself, and loses her mind in the middle of it. 

Smiling at the sight of what she did, she loses her sense of remorse, tempted in battles and combats, as if her entire being had become one of her swords. Like a metal with no duty, like a rose with no beauty and like a planet without oxygen, she's empty. 

Seeing her fight like a total psycho made everyone in the room sad. Her major—Lyrica had seen so much of her reckless battles, it had no technique but had no flaws, it was inevitable to fight her if she became different. 

The one she's fighting with, Cassandra avoided her attacks and even if her stance appeared to be predictable when Cassandra tried or attempted on using her reckless movements, she'll end up being trapped in a same place where she'll meet Valerie's sword or her spikes made of cursed blood. 

Her cursed blood would send either ten or more spikes to corner her while Cassandra would choose the opposite to escape. Not everyone in the lab can withstand Valerie's insane combat abilities, so it's shocking that Cassandra is holding up quite well. 

With Cassandra using her Artificial Intelligence ability, she was able to calculate a small percent of Valerie's movement and used this 000.1% chance to escape the corner where Valerie had trapped her. While her speed had almost cracked by Valerie's speed, she was able to avoid the sword that was so close from cutting her in half.

Disappointed to see the result, Lyrica activated the shield that had trapped Valerie inside. This shield can withstand Valerie's attacks and can also calm her down, it's like a drug without a medicine. After being trapped in the shield for about 20 seconds, Valerie lost her consciousness and she fell on the floor.

Everyone looks in disbelief, they've never thought that the drugs she'd been taking during her captivity 8 years ago would cause this effect. Human's technology advancement had increased, and because of this, they had the ability to extract and manipulate the stigma that runs through every Aisha's blood and body. 

Manipulating their senses of morality and reality. Even if Caleb had successfully rescued her and destroyed everyone, the damage had been done can't be erased, Valerie will live her life being influenced by the drugs. 

"I can't believe that even with our knowledge, we couldn't make a prevention drug that can turn her back to normal."

One of the scientists from Armenia said, Caleb had asked a few people that were sent to the human realm in order to assist him with Valerie's condition, Ares couldn't leave Armenia, he was unable to because of the restrictions his father, Zeus gave him. 

The only thing he can do is make sure she was able to live well in the other world but he never thought that while the woman she sent escaped Armenia, she would die halfway through and left his daughter in a stranger's arm where Valerie was sold to a psycho scientist and made her an experimental subject. 

He couldn't prevent or even do anything about that event but it was already too late for him to repent. Valerie is no longer safe—in the human realm. 

"We progressed some of the equipment and invented formulas but even with the help of Aria, we couldn't do anything about her condition. Her power had already taken over her emotions, feelings and personality. The only way for her to recover is to ask Saint Freya's help, and we couldn't do it for now."

Lyrica breathed out and sighs. "Ares had not yet given any signal, but we must really meet Saint Freya, she's the only one who can remove the dosage of drugs that Valerie had taken."

That's right, Saint Freya is Armenia's top Aisha, and the God's chose her to be an ambassador that connects the God and the Mortal. Her powers were blessed by many Gods and Goddesses, so she has the ability to cure a minor problem like this but as of now, Ares couldn't decide if it's better to meet his daughter or not. 

Lyrica looks at Cassandra with a dry face. "Cass, let's talk to the master, we might convince Sir Ares to send Valerie back."

She said while Cassandra was lifting Valerie on her hand like a prince who's carrying a princess. The weight doesn't bother her, robots can't feel either way but they have emotions too. Cassandra is a prototype so her functions are different to the same class robots, her model was customized and made for her own comfort zone. 

So she can lift Valerie with ease. "We could try but I doubt we need to do that—" she looked at Valerie and breathed out. "I don't want to sound like I eavesdropped but the master was talking to Sir Ares earlier, I am sure they are discussing Valerie's condition."

She looked at her and nodded. "That must be it, we've got our sisters' concern as well but Armenia is different to the human realm. There's no place for heartless robots like ourselves in that place, it will discard us."

They knew that Valerie, and those from Armenia could return, however, what of the mechanical robots that Caleb had created, what will happen to them? They can't live as a normal human being either, they are mechanical robots—one of human sciences that is closest to the form of being a human.

Anything that Armenia discards is things that didn't belong to that place. Armenia is strict to their policy, and avoids any outsider who doesn't belong to that place. However, things are different if an Armenian set foot in the human land. It doesn't discard them, it accepts the bipolarity who have come to its territory. 

"Worrying too much doesn't suit you, Lyrica."

She startled herself and was distracted. She then looked at the voice that came from the otherside, there she saw a man who looks young but his older. She gulped and breathed out. "Kindly stop sneaking in like that, we might be robots but we are also made closest to human personality."

The man chuckled at her complaints. "I wouldn't say closest, I made you to be exactly like them, to feel, touch, and have an ego. So, what's your concern about?"

They didn't think that Caleb would find them himself, but this is his lab, he might look like a human but he's a mortal from Armenia, his lab is made to see everything including gossip and concerns of every mechanical robot that he created. It sounds very optical but he created this crazy stuff. 

Lyrica had not expected him but she already predicted his coming. "When Valerie returns, you also will, master. What will we do after that? We aren't made for human activities, you made us to protect Valerie and her well-being but with her gone, will we be deactivated?"

Caleb looked at her, the changes in his face—the grin on his lips had slowly vanished. All that remained was his sharp gaze and his heavy footsteps that were slowly walking towards them. "There is a reason I've kept your function secret, I don't know you are capable of thinking like this as well."

"Lyrica, and everyone. You aren't just made out of human metal, if that's the case achievement will take slower than normal but you my beautiful creation is made of Armenia's special resources, including magical stones. You aren't specifically made of human resources, half of you is an Armenia's piece, your heart, your chips, your ability, your skin, and everything of you."

They look at each other, even Lyrica was left speechless, they've been feeding them information that they are made of human resources but the truth, they are more than that.

"Then?" Cassandra asked. 

It made Caleb smile. "Yes, we did so that you can enter Armenia, do you think I'll abandon my own creation? You are now under Ares, I may be your master but your loyalty has been made for him, our God, Ares."
