Rejoice

After the shout of the God King echoed, a fairy was seen flying through a beautiful garden.

"Miss Celestia! What should we do?!" the fairy exclaimed.

"Hmm. I was ignoring him at first, but he's becoming quite annoying. I want to go down to the mortal realm as soon as possible and can't afford to waste time with him." Celestia replied, leisurely resting against a tree.

"Shall I have someone take care of him?" the fairy asked.

"No need. His voice was loud enough for everyone in the divine realm to hear…even those who were sleeping." Celestia said, a small smile forming on her face.

The fairy seemed confused.

"…don't worry about it. He's dug his own grave today. My sister tends to get a little overprotective." Celestia's smile grew.

'But Miss doesn't have a sister…' The poor fairy remained perplexed but didn't question it.

After a few minutes of silence, a portal appeared before them. Out stepped Nyxaria and Lumaria.

"Miss! Miss!!" The fairy began to panic, its little wings flapping vigorously.

Celestia opened her eyes and calmed the anxious fairy down.

"Is he dead?" She questioned.

"You know he is. A better question is, why was he still alive in the first place?" Lumaria spoke, annoyed.

"Aw, don't be mad at me, sister! I just didn't feel like doing it!" Celestia pouted as she stood up.

Seeing that Lumaria was not swayed by her childish act, she shrugged.

"Anyway! I bet the discovery I made will take that frown off your face!" 

Celestia's unusual excitement piqued Lumaria's interest. What could possibly be in the mortal world that was so important?

Celestia sat Lumaria down and began to explain the events that transpired.

…

"So… people from another minor realm were summoned, and you chose a saint?" Lumaria recapped, noting Celestia's smiling face at the mention of the hero, which upset her.

"Is that why you're trying to descend? For the saint? Is this your choice…?" The coldness in Lumaria's words caught Celestia off guard. This was different from their usual fights; she felt genuine anger coming from her sister.

"Huh? What? No! The hero is honestly the least interesting of my finds! You can say whatever you want, but never disrespect my commitment! I would die before I betrayed Darling!" Celestia retorted, her eyes narrowing as she glared at Lumaria.

Taking a deep breath, Lumaria apologized. "I'm sorry. It's just been hard since he's been gone. I know none of our sisters would do that." 

A smile returned to Celestia's face as she hugged her. "Our patience has paid off!"

Silence followed the statement as Lumaria looked at her in confusion. 

"What are you talking about?"

Wiggling out of the embrace, Celestia stepped back with a smug smile on her beautiful face. "You know exactly what I'm talking about!"

Lumaria's breath caught in her throat, her heart pounding loudly. Quickly, she calmed herself and tried to push away her expectations. Though she knew her sister wouldn't lie about this, it was difficult.

"…What exactly did you find out? It's been too soon for a reincarnation of that level." 

Celestia nodded and answered seriously. "I saw him. Eden. Somehow, he was part of the summoned individuals in my kingdom. I was able to speak with him a little, but it was just his soul fragment." 

She paused for a second before continuing, but by this point, Lumaria was barely listening, her mind buzzing at the news.

"I gave him something that should help, but I don't know if it'll work."

*bzzzzzZZZZZZZZ*

Before Lumaria could respond, a loud sound rang through the room as their chests lit up.

"This is…!!!!" Reaching under her shirt, Lumaria pulled out a crystal container that hung from her necklace. 

The container glowed bright gold, making a pulsing noise in her palm.

Looking up, she saw a similar scene unfolding with Celestia, along with the bright smile on her face.

"Looks like my worries were unnecessary; it worked!!" Celestia exclaimed, jumping in joy before bringing the crystal to her lips and kissing it. "I can't wait any longer! The others should know by now! I'm going to the mortal realm as soon as possible!" 

Normally, it wouldn't be a problem for a God Ruler to descend, but there were restrictions they had placed on the world as terms of their Duel.

"Um… Miss? What's happening?" the cute fairy asked.

"Ah, that's right. You were only a Sprite at the time. It's a long story, but my husband is coming back!" Celestia said, her excitement only adding to the fairy's confusion.

"Hmm, or are we still newlyweds? I mean, we haven't…" Celestia's face flushed as she ran off, preparing the remaining materials for her descent.

The adorable fairy could only flutter in midair, lost. 

Lumaria, on the other hand, stood rooted in place, twirling the crystal in her hand as she stared blankly at it.

*Woosh*

Next to her, a portal opened, and Nyxaria appeared, tears streaming down her face. 

"I just saw a beam of light shoot out of the Garden of Eden! It must be—" Before she could finish, she noticed the dazed goddess staring at the glowing object.

"So it is true!! Finally!" Nyxaria cried, collapsing and sobbing as happiness spread through her entire being.

Lumaria finally snapped back to reality and smiled at Nyxaria. "We have a lot to do. We should be able to get down there in a week!" With those words, she disappeared from the room, Nyxaria following quickly.

Around the divine realm, the scene repeated itself.

"BZZZZZZZZZZ"

Inside a throne room, a floating mass of energy shone brightly atop a black throne. 

The noise was deafening to those close to it, forcing them to block their ears to avoid the sound.

This left the stationed Valkyries unable to communicate with one another, but they didn't need to.

Exchanging no glances, they dropped to their knees in reverence of the energy, tears staining the floor.

The loud noise brought in the commanders, who stormed into the hall, weapons in hand.

However, once they saw the situation, their guards dropped immediately, and they too prostrated.

The fanatical commanders didn't bother to close off their hearing, allowing the harsh tone to pound against their eardrums with intense force, causing blood to leak from their ears.

All the while, a smile adorned their faces as they silently stared at the throne and listened to the most beautiful sound ever. 

"All Hail the Supreme Ruler!"

-Draconix-

In the realm of Dragons, a massive beast lay in the central hall, wrapped around a large container as it slumbered. 

Every breath was powerful and steady, a testament to its strength. 

The only movements in the room were the dragon's inhales and exhales; everything else was still and peaceful.

Until—

*BZZZZZZ*

Faced with the blaring sound, the dragon slowly opened its eyes, locking onto the glowing container.

Its eyes widened before it abruptly stood up, shaking the ground as it did so.

Slowly, it transformed into a humanoid form and placed a hand on the container.

The dragon-turned-woman stood stunningly in the room.

Her scales shaped into clothing, red and black covering her torso, waist, and arms. Her long red hair cascaded down her back, with black horns atop her head.

Her crimson, slitted eyes stared intently at the soul fragment. 

'Hmph! I gave you a dowry, and you take off? Even gave those women a ring and not me!' 

She thought fiercely, but her wet eyes and blushing face betrayed her true feelings.

This fearsome being was none other than the Supreme Dragon God, one of the strongest beings currently in the divine realm: Eryndra.

'What will he think when he learns that I saved those seductresses? I must be rewarded.' 

Grabbing the piece, she formed two wings on her back before flying off, headed toward answers.
