Serafall Meeting?

(POV. Riser Phenex)

With Riser's final words, an expectant silence fell over the room. His family, along with the newcomers from distant dimensions and realms, eagerly awaited the revelation of his plans. An uncertain yet promising future seemed to be unfolding before them, carrying with it the promise of changes that could redefine the balance of power across the Underworld.

The air was charged with potential, each glance exchanged among those present carrying its own weight of expectations and doubts. But above all, there was a spark of hope, a glimmer of excitement for what lay ahead. It was evident that the adventures and challenges faced by Riser on his interdimensional journey had laid the groundwork for something greater, something none of them could have foreseen.

Riser began to walk, leading the way with determination echoing in his steps. His family and his new allies followed, a mosaic of extraordinary figures, each with their own stories, powers, and hopes for the future.

As they entered the spacious hallway, the tapestries and artworks adorning the walls seemed like silent witnesses to the history and power of the Phenex family. The soft light of the torches illuminated their paths, casting dancing shadows that seemed to move to the rhythm of their steps.

Finally, they arrived at a large room, its tall windows offering a panoramic view of the Underworld, a realm of dark beauty where eternal flames intertwined with deep darkness. The room was arranged in a way that facilitated an intimate gathering, with comfortable chairs and sofas arranged in a semicircle, facing an open space in the center, where Riser positioned himself, ready to share his vision.

"As you all know," Riser began, his voice full of an almost palpable fervor, "my journey has been long and filled with challenges. But it has not been in vain. Every world I visited, every battle I fought, has brought me here, with a clear purpose."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the faces of each of those present, as if seeking to reaffirm the confidence they had placed in him. "The Underworld stands on the brink of a new era, an era of expansion and renewal. With the help of my new allies," he gestured towards Rin, Sakura, Illya, Medusa, Medea, and Serenity, "we have the opportunity to bring about real change, not just for demons, but for all beings in this universe and beyond. After all, they are not from this world. Yes, they are from another world. Now if you are wondering. Why am I telling you? Well, you are my family members. And I wanted you to know my movements."

Rin stood up, her Ishtar aura vibrating with power around her. "The worlds beyond ours possess knowledge and powers that can benefit us all. Together, we can form alliances, learn from each other, and thrive."

Sakura, with the serenity of Parvati enveloping her, added: "And most importantly, we can work together to ensure peace and harmony, not just among demons, but among all races."

Illya, emanating the wild strength of Sitonai, smiled, her unbreakable spirit shining through her. "And we'll have fun doing it! Imagine the adventures that await us, the new friendships we'll make!"

Riser nodded, pleased with each of their contributions. "My plan involves establishing a coalition, a union of worlds and realms. Together, we can face threats that none of us could overcome alone. Let's create a system of mutual support, where knowledge, magic, and resources can be shared for the benefit of all."

The enthusiasm was contagious, every member of the Phenex family and every new ally feeling the significance of the moment, the possibility of being part of something grand. The idea of an interdimensional coalition was not just a fantasy; with Riser at the helm, it seemed like an achievable future.

"But," Riser continued, "for this to happen, we need to be united, more than ever. We need to show the universe that the Underworld is more than its shadows and its flames. We are a force for positive change, for innovation, and for peace."

Riser's gaze fixed on the horizon, beyond the windows, as if he could see the future he envisioned. "This is just the first step of our journey together. A journey that, I believe, will take us to new heights and bring prosperity and harmony to all beings."

With these words, Riser concluded, his speech not just a statement of intentions, but a call to action. A call to unwritten adventures, to alliances yet to be formed, and to a future where the boundaries between worlds and races could be overcome.

Those present in the room absorbed every word, every vision that Riser shared. A palpable energy filled the space, a mix of determination, hope, and excitement for the unknown. They rose, looking at each other, seeing not just demons or beings from other dimensions, but allies, friends, family.

"So," Rumix Phenex finally broke the silence, his voice filled with pride and support, "we, the Phenex family, along with our new friends and allies, are ready to follow you, Riser. Ready to embrace this new era, to build together this future you envisioned."

Nods and murmurs of agreement echoed through the room, each one feeling the weight and importance of their decisions. They stood on the threshold of something monumental, something that could redefine not just their lives, but the destiny of many worlds.

Riser looked at his family and his new allies, his heart filled with gratitude. "Thank you," he said simply, but with an emotion that overflowed. "Together, we are strong. Together, we can and will make a difference."

I throw myself on my bed looking at the ceiling. With fatigue. I stretch my hands to look at them.

take a deep breath

"Was this what you really wanted, Riser?" Tsunade's question echoed in my mind, reverberating with an unexpected force. I stared at the ceiling, struggling to find the right words. How could I explain the enormity of my ambitions, the glimpse of that future I so desired?

"Yes, Tsunade," I finally replied, my voice low but firm. "This is the path I've chosen, however tortuous it may seem at the moment."

I turned to the side, meeting her gaze. Her brown eyes shimmered with a mix of concern and understanding. She had been my confidante for so long, an anchor amidst the storms I faced.

"I know it seems crazy," I continued, the words flowing more easily now. "Gathering beings from different dimensions, deities, and mortals, all for a greater cause. But you need to understand, this is not just a passing fancy. It's a necessity, a journey I must follow."

I rose from the bed, walking towards the window. Outside, the lights of the Underworld shone, sparkling like jewels on a velvet mantle. So beautiful, and yet, so limited.

"This world, our world, and they will be in great danger, Tsunade," I whispered, my eyes wandering over the distant lights. "Trapped in an endless cycle of conflicts and prejudices. But now, with the help of those I brought with me.

"Now, with the help of those I brought with me, we have the chance to break those chains."

"Tsunade, did you provide them with proper accommodations?"

Tsunade's gaze was shrewd, studying my tired face. "Yes, I provided appropriate accommodations for your companions, as instructed. Serenity is secluded in a special room, away from the others. No one will dare disturb her."

I nodded, relieved by her words. My muscles ached from the tension built up during the family meeting. I stretched my arms above my head, hearing the bones crack. CRACK!

"Thank you, Tsunade. You've made things much easier for me."

She smiled faintly. "It's the least I can do after all you've been through to bring us here. Your determination is admirable, Riser."

I took a deep breath, letting the air out in a trembling sigh. The recent events still spun in my mind - the long journey, the dangers faced, the new friendships forged. And now, the revelation of my ambitious plans for my family and the Underworld. So much happening at once that I barely had time to process it all.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Strong knocks on the door interrupted my reverie. I frowned, tense again. "Come in," I ordered, with a firm voice.

The door opened, and Rin entered, radiant in her divine glory. Even casually dressed, her aura exuded raw power. She smiled at me, the warmth in her eyes calming my nerves.

"So, how are you feeling now that you've finally revealed your plans?"

I let out a dry laugh. "Exhausted, to be honest. But also... hopeful. I feel like I've finally taken the first step to achieve something grand."

Rin nodded understandingly. "It was a lot to digest all at once. But you did an amazing job explaining everything. I could hardly believe it when you mentioned forming an interdimensional coalition!"

"Believe me," I scoffed. "If someone had told me a few months ago that this would be my plan, I would have laughed in their face." I ran a hand through my tousled hair, recalling the strange paths that brought me here.

RRRRumble...

The sound of a rumbling stomach made Rin arch a playful eyebrow. I blushed, realizing the noise came from my own hungry stomach.

"It seems all this planning left someone hungry," she teased.

Before I could respond, however, another noise sounded from outside - this time, hurried footsteps rushing down the hallway. The door burst open again with a bang, and Illya rushed in like a whirlwind, her fins swaying excitedly behind her.

"Rin, Riser! You won't believe what... oh!" Her eyes widened when she saw me, then she laughed. "Looks like I heard right! Was that your stomach growling?"

I rolled my eyes, but couldn't help but smile at her infectious joy. "Yeah, that was my stomach indeed. What did you find out?"

"The cooks are preparing a feast to celebrate our arrival!" Illya clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "A true feast worthy of celebration!"

Rin smiled. "Well, it's not every day that an interdimensional group of goddesses, demons, and mermaids arrives in the Underworld. I think we deserve a bit of celebration."

My stomach growled again in agreement. GRRRRUUU! I chuckled lightly, getting up from the bed.

"All right, let's enjoy this celebration then. After all we've been through, I think we deserve some rest and delicious food."

I left the room with Rin and Illya, both laughing and chatting animatedly. A warm feeling spread in my chest - not just anticipation for the food, but gratitude for having these incredible women in my life. Together, we formed a formidable team, ready to face any challenge the future brought.

When we reached the banquet hall, the delicious aromas hit me in a wave of culinary temptation. My stomach growled once again, practically pulling me in by my nostrils.

"Thank you very much for your time, Yasaka," I said to the nine-tailed fox, bowing slightly, and turning to leave. After all, our meeting had already been going on for hours. Not to mention the part where I had to wait.

"Oh, how forgetful of me. I was almost forgetting to tell you. A few moments before our meeting, there was a demon in our territory. His name was Riser. He has already left and caused no trouble. I just wanted to notify you," Yasaka said as she turned around and began to leave the room with her entourage. Before she left the room, I asked.

"One moment. Would you happen to know where he is and where he went?" Yasaka turned and looked at me, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, according to him, he was going to his house. But the teleportation matrix was messed up with something. Right after that, he teleported again. One of my guards notified me about it."

"Thank you very much. Yasaka." I bowed again, but this time before Yasaka left the room, I was already teleporting to the underworld. I'm coming. Riser. Hehehe.

(A/N: Thank you very much for following the series. and the reason for the delays this week. And because of work, having to drive for 5 to 8 hours is exhausting. Then, it takes a while to regain the motivation to get back to writing. I can only hope this gets resolved soon. Anyway, I have a new laptop now, which isn't from the company, so that helps even more. I can work on both at the same time now.)
