How to welcome guests

* Tsukuyomi's POV *

This was unsettling. I woke up with a key and a message next to my bed. To say I was panicking would be pushing it a bit too much, but I wasn't really calm either.

To think that someone was able to transport something IN MY ROOM while I WAS SLEEPING really made me wonder what other things that individual was able to do.

The message was... Unconventional. Who asks a god to give his blood to a suspicious artefact so that it will be blood bound ? A troll (?) surnamed Red Troll apparently (can a troll even write ?). Aside from the fact it was completely surreal, I was actually asking myself if I should do it. It was clearly explained what the purpose of the key was, but cautiousness is the mother of safety. the only reason I was debating doing it was because if that red troll was nefarious, there were clearly better ways to use his sneaking powers than putting a key in my bedroom.

This is why I decided to discuss this with Amaterasu and Susanoo. Once again I realized why I rarely consulted both of them at the same time since Susanoo was taking pleasure in contradicting Amaterasu, and she was once again loosing her temper and was on the brink of hiding in her room... Again.

In the end, after a few days of studying the key, and debating the good and the bad of blood bounding it, I decided to go for it.

There was no big showing, just a slight glow and it was done.

After telling Amaterasu, I opened a door with the key and saw only blackness. Taking out the Kusanagi no tsurugi sword lent to me by Amaterasu (just in case), I took a step and entered.

I was now in a neat corridor with several door, all closed. I slowly made my way until I saw a red troll in a costume talking with... Governor General Azazel of the Grigori ?

When they saw me Azazel and the troll looked at me, and suddenly comprehension dawn on them and they started to draw on magic.

Azazel : "IT'S TSUKUYOMI ! HE TOOK THE BAIT ! KILL HIM BEFORE HE CAN DEFEND HIMSELF !"

Realizing instantly it was a trap I gathered my power and used Kusanagi no tsurugi to tear them apa...

* Michael's POV *

Everything was going wrong recently, and I was facing a choice.

First, there was that mysterious stalker that kept peeking at Gabriel, and then he started to peek at everyone as if it was a game. It was making so many of us tense. Someone, somewhere had the ability to spy on us, and was doing it blatantly, and we didn't know how to stop it.

Then, 'The System' started to update itself. Why on earth should the devils be banned from saying "Voldemort" ? This was just wrong. It was like 'The System' took the collective input of mortals into account, and decided that since in the book that name was under a taboo, he would now be banned in the system.

The implications were scary. What if a best seller decided that humanity needed to be destroyed ? Would the system update itself to find way to kill humanity ? And once again, I could do nothing. At best I could make small updates to get rid of bugs, but this was no bug, it was a 'feature' now.

And then, there was that key... It suddenly teleported into my pocket bypassing every protection we had in heaven. After analysing it, I learned it was tied to my blood. MY BLOOD ! How in the seven heaven was that even possible ? And apparently it was a tool to enter a pocket dimension. Because of that I didn't know what to do. Was it something created by father for our time of need, a fail-safe of sort ? Or was it something more sinister ?

In the end, there wasn't really a choice. The situation was going from bad to worse, and I recently learned that a treaty between the fallens, the devils, and the Shinto was being talked about. Whatever was in there, it couldn't make things really worse.

So after explaining my reasoning to my brothers and sister, I opened the door to the "Red Troll's Cavern" in front of them, and went inside.

Once inside I realized I couldn't feel heaven anymore, and looking back, there was just blackness inside the opened door frame.

Slowly walking inside, I could hear people talking, and soon I was inside a... Bar ? What was Azazel doing here ? And was that Tsukuyomi next to him ? Looking around I could see a few high profile individuals.

And then Azazel saw me, and he grinned.

Azazel : "IT'S MICHAEL ! HE TOOK THE BAIT ! KILL HIM BEFORE HE CAN DEFEND HIMSELF !"

WHAT ?! Wasn't Azazel the leader of the peace faction inside Grigori ? But I didn't have time for this, suddenly I could see all of them looking at me with glee. I guess they were happy their plan had worked.

I didn't understand what was happening, but one thing was sure, with all these powerhouse here, my life was at risk. I gathered my power as fast as possible to cast my most powerful spell to stun all of the...

* Thor's POV *

What a weird item I found next to my bed when I woke up. A key that would allow me to enter a pocket dimension full of red trolls once I used my blood on it ? I guess someone found this artefact but realized he wouldn't be strong enough to clean it so he decided to give it to me instead.

Well, let's not think about it too much. It sounds like a glorious adventure for Thor the god of thunder !

Entering the cavern, I was surprised that the corridor looked more like a house than a cavern. Oh well, let's just clean the place.

While I was walking I heard a voice telling others "look how you do it Azazel, and bow before my handsomeness".

Red Troll : "Welcome to my dimension Thor, god of thunder !"

A red troll had just appeared in front of me ! Using my superior reflex I took a fast swing and smashed my ham...
