Unexpected Apparition

Tiamat covered her mouth with a gesture of fear.

The wall was punched and cracked at a strange angle. The office at the back, reduced to ashes. Scraps of wood were strewn all over the floor, and the parquet had residue from burning.

Her blue eyes rested on the figure amid the ash smoke, which floated in the air.

The dirty clothes filled with dust, his fists having a few marks of redness on the top, but especially his expressionless face.

The young man's eyes were emotionless, empty and sad as if remembering a painful memory.

"Kiyotaka?" Tiamat slowly approached the boy, her eyebrows leaning forward, trying to understand why he had suddenly become so aggressive.

The boy turned to find that Tiamat had gone up to the attic. He ran his hand over his forehead, to remove the ashes sticking to his skin.

"Tiamat? You're already awake" He walked over to the hatch grabbing the ladder, quickly reaching the second floor.

"What was that, Kiyotaka?" Tiamat followed him from behind, frowning.

"Nothing, it was just a workout," Kiyotaka said heading to the bedroom to change into new clothes.

"Training? You were like crazy…" Tiama didn't even look away when Kiyotaka changed.

Seeing the worry on the woman's face, Kiyotaka sighed, "Okay, that was a bad dream"

"I don't want to talk about it, Tiamat" The dragon wanted to open her mouth, but was quickly stopped in her way by Kiyotaka's words.

"Alright." She shook her head, but her eyes didn't let go of her prey.

"Do you know of an easy way to get to the underworld?" He said, pulling on a white shirt, a brown pants, and a little blue waistcoat.

"Yeah, but why don't you ask the red-haired girl?" Nodding at his question and narrowed eyes fixed on the boy, to see if his emotions change when she talks about 'her'.

Kiyotaka didn't answer her, he walked over to the bed and picked up little Shiro who was looking at them both.

Finally, with Shiro in his arms, Kiyotaka looked up at Tiamat, who seemed unwilling to let him go on the matter.

"I don't want to bother Rias, that's all." Tiamat didn't notice a single lie on his emotionless face. She just shrugged.

"Okay, I would like you to create the portal now" Kiyotaka stood in the middle of the room, waiting for Tiamat to join him.

She didn't say another word, approaching Kiyotaka and Shiro.

The woman raised her arms in the air, from which a large blue magic circle engulfed them.

The sparkling light illuminated the room a vivid blue. The light disappeared just as quickly as it appeared, taking with it, Kiyotaka, the little dragon, and Tiamat.

Large gardens filled with flowers whose scent is deposited all-around a magnificent house. Among the flowers in front of the house was a statue made of the legendary beast, the Phoenix.

The statue was majestic, made of light red, and contrasting with the dark red sky.

Sounds of laughter and joy escaped from time to time through the windows of the big house.

At the moment a party was taking place, Lord Phenex had organized a party to celebrate the marriage of his son to the daughter of the Gremory.

"I'll meet you later" In a red tuxedo and a glass of wine in his hand, the blond young man greeted the group of girls.

He staggered, moving from the hallways to the halls of the big house. The drunken teen almost spilled the wine on the floor.

He passed a few maids whose cheeks were turning red when they saw him.

Finally, he reached for the handle of a door and opened it.

Suddenly he frowned, the room was pitch black except for the bedside lamp on his desk which was strangely on.

'Yubelluna must have forgotten to turn it off' the blond boy approached the bedside lamp with small steps from the alcohol, then he put the glass on the desk.

Leaning down to turn off the light, he saw that his desk drawer was open.

" Who is here ?" The blond man turned quickly to stand on guard, ready for battle.

His eyes scanned the room when a sudden flame lit the room.

At that moment, the blond's gaze fell on a small armchair in the corner of the room, far from his bed.

A red magic circle appeared in front of the blond's face, who pulled back, surprised at the sudden intrusion.

"Who are you ?!" Almost falling, hitting the desk, the wine glass shattered on the floor.

Wings of fire came out of his back, balancing him. His eyes then focused on the figure sitting in the chair.

The fire of its wings lit the room with an orange light, illuminating in passing, the intruder in the mover. He was a boy with short brown hair, bright yellow-brown eyes, with crossed legs.

"But-but, you're the one from the reunion with Rias." The man opened his eyes wide, not understanding why a low-ranking devil would be in the Phenex house.

But the question recurring in the blond's mind was how did he get past the restrictions in the house?

"Insightful, Raiser-san" Kiyotaka stood up from the chair, facing Raiser.

"Stop your sarcasm, give me a reason, not to kill someone as weak as you?" Raiser smirked disdainfully, for a moment he thought someone wanted to kill him, but it was ultimately just a bug.

"I didn't come to get you in trouble" pausing Kiyotaka resumed before Raiser spoke: "I'm here because you're in danger."

"In danger? Ahahahahah! What kind of joke is this?" Tears of laughter flowed from Raiser's eyes, who was now looking at Kiyotaka like a clown doing his show.

Kiyotaka didn't answer, his face emotionless, he walked over to an already open window from which the cold wind blew through.

Reaching the window, the boy did not turn around "The bearer of the Longinus, Issei Hyoudou, you heard about it, didn't you?"

"Issei Hyoudou? Yes, that less-than-nothing who covets a harem hahaha and so? He's the one threatening me? Hahahah" Raiser's contempt grows even more than before.

"He has the power to kill God and you are still laughing ... you want to take someone he loves for you, he has hatred" pausing a second time, hair fluttering in the wind, "This is just a word of advice, take it if you want, Raiser-san "Passing through the window Kiyotaka disappeared from Raiser's sight as if he had never come.

Finally, Raiser's laughter stopped, his contempt disappeared.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Raiser, are you all right? We heard some noise in your room from the hallway." A woman's voice was heard from behind the bedroom door.

"Everything's alright, Yubelluna." withdrawing his fiery wings, Raiser struggled to sit on the desk chair. His face showing a little anxiety and fear.

Kiyotaka lands near a blue-haired woman carrying a small white dragon in her arms.

Looking slightly worried, she walked over to him, "Kiyotaka, what do we do now?"

Little Shiro jumps into Kiyotaka's arms, rubbing her head against his face.

The boy stared up at the sky without answering Tiamat, a simple smirk gracing his face.
