Pupil

There are many things Scathach found interesting in these new lands that were under her apprentice's control?

Well, he was her's apprentice, even if one of alternate self's, and if there was one thing Scathach learned as ruler of Shadow Land's, then is that she should always look deeper, and the more she looked, the more she understood why her alternate self taught Aegis, he was so similar and yet so different from her another pupil, Scathach wondered what Cu Chulainn was doing now? Did he still chase after Aife? Her sister was always weak against Cu, and Cu who saw Scathach in Aife even if little came to love her in his own way...

Scathach knew that her former pupil Cu loved her, but she was never able to put down the regret of him not coming sooner, maybe he would be able to kill her or save her, alas he came too late, as she already became Immortal...

"No, no need to think about the past..."

Scatchach said to herself, after all, she already had her wishes fulfilled, she knew what death felt, and she was completely defeated by fight, by none other than another of her pupils, albeit alternate ones, but still ones of her pupils, something that made Scathach put on a satisfied smile...

"Who could have thought that Corrupted Grail in his petulant need of revenge would unknowingly fulfill her wish? And by the looks of it, not just my wish..."

Sctachach said with a grin as she knew that Merlin and Morgana were very happy with their current lives, and Scathach couldn't fault them for being rid of the curse that is future sight, that was one of the best gifts these women who were for their entire lives tormented to see future yet were unable to stop it all, even Scathach herself started little by little blind to future, as even her Primordial Runes she used to see final moments of her pupils slowly stopped to work the longer she stayed on Remnant, or more precisely in Aegis presence...

"Oh? What a surprise, I didn't know that shadow witch would watch training field with such intensity, mayhaps you found something you like?"

Said a silky voice, but Scathach could feel that hidden poison, it wasn't malicious per se, but more likely, it was just how the Queen of Poisons was...

"Semiramis."

Scathach said with her face set back to neutral expression as she watched the woman who had Fey-like looks sit on the balcony sofa as being served by maids as she ate another fruit, letting the juice fall from her mouth, just to be cleaned by one of these maid constructs called proto-maids...

"Scathach, see something you like?"

Semiramis asked with a raised eyebrow and playfully smiled at Scathach nodded her head, no need to lie, as both of them know why they were right now on the balcony, watching shirtless Aegis practice his spear forms.

"Yes, but when you so beautifully mentioned it, I want to know... What is your intention with my pupil, poison witch?"

Scathach said as she looked at Semiramis who paled little, yet she didn't back down as she put back a nonchalant smile.

"Oh? Nothing much, as I said, dear Aegis will give me what I want, and in exchange, I will make him immune to most poisons..."

"Most poisons? You mean the ones you don't use."

"How could you say something like that! I let you know that the poisons I don't use are the mundane ones, those on what Aegis is already immune to thanks to his artificial implants and pure strength, so no, I do use magical poison's in our meetings, making his body and magic he so cleverly use immune to them."

Scathach just looked at Semiramis as she smiled from her side and looked back at Aegis...

"Verry, well... Im very aware that my alternate self didn't teach idiot, so I will believe in his judgment and let you play your games... But..."

Scatchach looked at Semiramis as her eyes lost any kind of emotion.

"I already lost pupils... I will not lose another one, so be a very careful with your games, little poison witch."

Scathach said as she jumped from the balcony, joining Aegis in a light spar of pure skill, leaving trembling Semiramis behind.

"That bitch."

Semiramis hissed as she looked at Aegis and Scathach trading light blows...

"I need to be careful with her there."

Semiramis said as she added another point to her plan, she wasn't stupid enough to poison or control Aegis, in both cases, there were a lot of loyal people who would either avenge him or find out he was controlled in an instant.

No, Semiramis knew she needed to play a long game, for she was queen, and nothing other could stop her from reaching the top...

"Still... It is true he is easy on eyes..."

Semiramis said as she looked at Aegis's bare chest...

"Thank you come again!"

"I WILL!"

Amber hummed as she left the inn where she stayed last night, resuming her traveling, true at first she traveled because she became a Maiden and it was dangerous to be at one place, but after some time, Amber came to like the wilderness and traveling alike, there was just so much to see and witness...

Especially now that magic became common, at least in Solitas, yes you still needed to be born with magic or at least proceed with transplantation of blood or organs, that was both very costly and controlled by Solitas kingdom, as magic was still a game-changer and thus strictly controlled by the state, but at least now nobody truly cared about maidens, as they wielded just elemental magic, where normal magic came with more possibilities, something Amber liked, as now she didn't truly need to watch her back so much...

Amber smiled as she rode on her horse she named greeny, after her green eyes, and as they rode, Amber enjoyed the tranquility of the forest as she made a plan to stop in another village before day end...

-------------------------

When night came, Aegis finally completed his daily work as he readied for his shared bed, where his already naked mother probably waited for him.

"Hm?"

"Hey there!"

Aegis looked at Zoe who grinned at him.

"Zoe, how are you doing?"

"Aww, no Helou Boss? Still, I like you calling me by my name! And Im doing great! No like super great! After all, I finally found the best first mission for you!"

"Now?"

"No, don't worry! Im, after all, a good Boss! So I will let you choose when you want to go, still the earliest possible would be best for me and likewise for you as later you could have it harder in there."

Aegis looked at Zoe.

"You still didn't tell me where, there is you want to send me."

"Ahh, stupid me! Teehee? Well, let say that this world is full of supernatural that hid from humans, yet they prey on them like on cattle, something im sure you don't like to hear."

Zoe said with a grin as she saw Aegis' eyes darken.

"I see, and my mission there?"

"As I previously said! You can do whatever you want! As I know that once you know how that world politics goes, you would change it, so you will basically do what I want, after all, I know you don't like when humanity is seen as cattle."

Zoe said and Aegis just mutely nodded his head, knowing she already had him there, no matter how much Aegis saw Schnee above everything, the souls he carried wouldn't ever let him by if he did nothing to help humans, as both Heroes, Villains, Monsters in human skin he held in his soul, all of them had some kind of pride, and that pride wouldn't let them watch humanity be so brazenly looked down upon and do nothing with it, and same gone for Aegis...

And if he was going visit one of such words, even Aegis would act, as Wizard Earth was different, as both non-magical's and magical's were on the same scale of power, with both of them having the strength to destroy each other, and both of them were humans, and if he took Goauld's into account, Aegis didn't see any reason to act as, no matter what who said, Goauld's were just as strong as their human slave's let them by, same gone for Jaffa's who were just genetically modified humans...

So Aegis just let it by, knowing well that sooner or later Goauld's would fall, either from their own doing or other's, but...

But when it came to the supernatural and completely mundane world, Aegis knew that humans were at an enormous disadvantage, with wizards, they could kill with their weapons, but...

"I can see you understand, yes, Angels, Demons, Devils, and any kind of supernatural creature would be hardly even hurt by such mundane means."

Zoe said with a grin, seeing Aegis's eyes flicker to her.

"I see... And do you know how long it will take my subjects to locate me and open the rift portal?"

"Eeehhh, I will give them a week, max month but for that, they would need to be either lazy or idiots, so don't worry too much!"

Zoe said and Aegis nodded his head.

"Verry well, I will call you when im ready to go, and lastly, can I take someone with me?"

"Hmmm? Yes, but... They would need to be bound to you."

"Bound?"

"Yep! Like the Servants!"

Zoe said and Aegis nodded his head, understanding her.

"Very well, thank you."

"No! I thank you, my Agent!"

Zoe said with a grin as she blew Aegis a kiss and, with a wink and disappeared into the air with some kind of flashy method.

"Well... Album Annie will arrive tomorrow, right?"

"Yep? Do you want me to contact others and tell them about your trip?"

"No... I will do it myself."

"Eh, ok."

Album said as Aegis left his office, his destination, his room, and as he arrived and opened the doors, he wasn't surprised to see his mother already laying naked on their bed, just with her bare breast sticking out as she coyly smiled at him.

"Well, what are you waiting on, son?"

"Enjoying sight."

"Then stop that and come to mother."

Aegis smiled as he nodded and closed doors, taking off his clothes and joining his mother as they cuddled each other that slowly transformed into making out and then full-blown gentle sex as Aegis was very careful about not hurting both his mother and his unborn children...

And after that, they both fell asleep in each other embrace, with Aegis in the night feeling little kicks of his unborn children making Aegis gently smile as he put his hands around Willow's grown stomach, which surprisingly made the kicking children calm down...

"I wonder, will I by a good father?"

Aegis murmured as he felt life's he gave birth to evolve slowly.
