Chapter 53: Happy Garda.

Maduke and the rest of the werewolves were all on their knees gritting their teeth's as blood ran down their upper body orifices. The massive spiritual pressure of Muzaka was way too much for their senses.

But even in this pain their eyes only held sadness and regret, they had all been lied to by the one whom they all served with all their hearts. Dorant had the worst look of all as he couldn't believe it himself, although the pressure wasn't making him bleed like the others he was still feeling it badly.

Maduke's bloody eyes looked up at Muzaka's cold blooded eyes full of rage, his regeneration was healing him up over and over again but with Muzaka's pressure still being released there would be no rest for him.

"WHY WOULD YOU INVOLVE HER MADUKE.....TELL ME!!!!" Muzaka raged putting even more pressure as the whole land compacted down In a loud boom.

Maduke was almost flattened to death by this pressure but luckily he wasn't. *cough...cough* "We needed you out of the way Muzaka, we needed something to give you enough motivation to go on a rampage.....But there was another being we needed" Muzaka looked into Maduke's eyes "Raizel".

Maduke nod his head and continued "As the only being who could rival you we knew that he had to get involved, and with what you were about to commit there was no way that he would have let you roam free. We hoped that you two would eliminate yourselves in your final clash and we thought you did for a long time".

Muzaka silently gazed at Maduke, the pressure had become much calmer his eyes held sad rage "But why her....Maduke, she was all I had left. Was your greed really that much as for you to have used my daughter" he spoke in a very solemn tone.

Maduke gazed at Muzaka as he took in deep breaths in and out trying to recover himself "I did this.....

"Don't even say it Maduke" Muzaka's tone became cold as his eyes turned focused glaring straight into Maduke's eyes "Don't you ever try to say you did this for our clan, you just wanted power. You wanted to be Lord, our kind had always stayed out of the business of humans. In all of their wars even when they came to us asking to lend them out power we always refused because they were not our problem, as long as whatever they did didn't conflict with us, we always ignored".

Muzaka lifted his index "But You Maduke, you just wanted to rule all of them. Your greed led you to sacrifice hundreds of Our people, Using them as test subjects. For You to obtain greater power​​, you practically became like them. Sacrificing your own people just for more power, you could have gotten stronger without the need for sacrificing so many of our kind. Every warrior trains themselves everyday for years centuries, always getting stronger and bettering their abilities. Although not everyone had the same growth speed we for sure we're always growing stronger as we trained. You could have just done the exact same thing but you had to.....

"You don't understand Muzaka" Maduke interuptted looking into Muzaka's eyes "Times were changing fast, the humans who couldn't even compare to our weakest civilian have now gained the power to compete with our warriors. If we had stayed the same as before we would have all been knocked off the top of the food chain which we had dominated for eon's. We had to Move fast and Secure our position, we couldn't stay stagnant like those Nobles who had had frozen themselves in time".

"They too could have been much more powerful if they wanted, they could have easily dominated the entire world but most of them didn't want to leave their frozen state except for few who had seen and accepted the truth...

Maduke was about to continue but suddenly his head got bashed into the ground, and then bashed again–and again–and again until Muzaka had enough and dragged him up by his hair looking at Maduke's messed up face "I...don't...care". he said as he put his hand into Maduke's mouth. *Kurgh* Maduke's eyes widened as he gagged and struggled punching the side of Muzaka's body and screaming but he never made one single difference as Muzaka ripped out his tongue and his spine pulling it out of his throat as he held both the upper and lower jaws of his mouth and tearing Maduke apart in half as blood and guts spilled everywhere, the werewolves present looking at the gory scene with wide eyes.

*Thud*. *Splish*

Muzaka stood there bathed in Maduke's blood and guts looking like a true demon still holding his spine in his left hand as it dripped blood to the ground. Inside his body a change was occuring, and inside his eyes, his Iris had begun taking on a reddish slivery hue around it as his aura gained a reddish tint hidden inside it. But Muzaka was still completely unaware of this as his gaze looked down at Maduke's gory corpse with cold indifferent eyes.

Muzaka looked up at the sky as tears rolled down his cheeks, he roared loudly into the sky, his voice carrying extreme pain. His emptiness was immense, even with this he still couldn't bring her back, he had lost everything. All the werewolves stood in solemn silence as they left Muzaka in peace.

–"Mister"

A cute little innocent voice spoke drawing their attention as they turned and saw Rai they didn't have time to be shocked before their eyes went to a small figure besides him, they all raised an eyebrow *{{who is she?}}*

Muzaka was frozen thinking he was hearing things as he became even more sad *{Ahh, I see....I'm finally losing it huh....well I gue....

–"Mister"

The voice spoke again with a little more emotion in it, Muzaka slowly turned his head around to receive the greatest shock of his life as his eyes lay upon a small Brown haired figure with with big blue eyes and the most innocent and cutest face.

He was speechless, couldn't believe it "Ash.... Ashleen?"

Ashleen's eyes became watery as she rushed towards Muzaka and hugging him tightly as his face was still in a state of disbelief,

*sniff* she began sobbing as tears poured out of her eyes, holding him even tighter. Muzaka slowly looked down at her, his still was in a state of confusion. But he decided to put all of that aside for now as he just reciprocated her hug and enjoy this while he has it, ask questions later.

He knelt down holding onto her as cried also, he was holding her. She was definitely real, there was no denying it.

All werewolves looked at the scene in confusion and a thought had passed their minds about who she could possibly be but the thought was way too absurd, even for for them.

Raizel smiled a little watching this scene, his niece was happy so of course he was smiling. _____________________________________________

[<*"Flashback"*>]

Raizel had brought Ashleen to the house as he lay her down gently on a bed inside one of the rooms. Mirai Urne, Suyi, Yuna, Lunark and Seira we're all around him looking at the small figure on the bed.

"Wow" Urne said looking at Ashleen laying down on the bed "I can't believe our former Lord had a daughter, and Maduke killed her". She said as Mirai who besides her nod her head still a bit surprised at how they had been lied to for centuries.

Seira besides Rai tilted her head cutely with a spoon of ice cream in her mouth, and then vanished the next Instant. Mirai, Lunark and the rest calmly raised their heads up feeling the presence of a new divinity.

"Why does it feel like Seira's divinity, but much weaker though" Mirai asked turning to Suyi who raised an eyebrow and shrugged "No idea".

Raizel sighed as he rubbed a his temple "That's Anubis" he said as Urne looked down at him "There's an Anubis for this universe?" She asked.

Rai looked up "there's an Anubis for every creation that exists" he said looking down at Ashleen again...."I never told you but even though that there exists another of most gods in different creations, the hidden truth is that there are actually king versions of them".

" King versions?" Lunark raised a brow as Rai nod his head "They are what you would call the first and the original, also the most powerful. They all each have one of their true selves allowed and every other incarnation that exists across all of existence is nothing but an infinitesimally small fraction of their true selves.

They are all constants of creation and have themselves become an idea of their own, they are really incredibly monstrous".

Urne smiled "So I guess they're more monstrous than you huh" she said as Rai smirked "In a way they are, there are somethings that they are allowed to do and I'm not. I am not allowed to remove their existence because it would cause problems with the entirety of creation. But of course I can by pass this also and just remove them anyways and not care about creation or even rewrite their importance to creation itself but I'm not Interested, too much problems will come from my elder brother".

Mirai and the rest raised a brow "You have an elder brother too?" She asked as Rai nod his head "Anyways they are somewhere far away, I think the current people aware of their location should be Father, Time, Night, Dream, Death, Destiny and I'm sure Delirium will know too. I would also know but I erased that memory.

Now they all looked lost "What are you talking about" Lunark asked as she raised her head up to see a golden portal with dark hues open up inside the house and out of the portal came a tall 2meter tall being with a dark body, and the head of jackal, a golden sash hung around his neck and a tall scepter with the head of a jackal held in his right hand.

He stood looking around the room until gaze rested upon Ashleen for some seconds before he bringing his gaze back to the people present in the room. He took a slight bow "Greetings young deities, I am present here because a soul was taken from the afterlife" he said pointing at Ashleen "but it seems I will no longer have custody of her, she has been fully reborn and therefore begins a new life".

Seira returned the next second as her eyes roamed around Anubis as he too gazed at her "You're a strange Death goddess" Anubis said as he gazed at Seira who began walking back up to the rest as she lay on a bed.

Urne and the rest looked down at Seira with raised eyebrows "Where did you go" Lunark asked.

*[Afterlife]* she responded mentally

""Oh!""....*{{Why?}}* they all thought.

Raizel gazed at Anubis who had created a new portal again and turned his gaze to Rai before he stepped inside "Is there something you may want to inquire from me young Sovereign".

Rai shook his head slightly "I guess even among the others you were always different weren't you" Rai said smiling a little.

Anubis stayed silent, gazing at Rai before he stepped into the portal a few seconds later.

Lunark looked down at Rai "Is there something wrong with him" she asked Rai who shook his head "No, Anubis is a very unique existence among gods because of something very unexpected" he said smiling as he saw Ashleen's eyes flutter drawing everyone's attention to the young kid.

Ashleen moaned and turned around in the bed as she got up and began rubbing her eyes as she looked up and saw a red haired figure whom she hasn't seen figure, but for some reason felt very familiar. She still felt a little woozy but she squinted her eyes trying to find the familiarity.

"Hello" Urne drew Ashleen's attention as she looked up and saw a beautiful blue haired Noona waving at her and flashing her a smile

"Umm...hello Noona" she lightly waved back as her eyes wandered around the other presence's in the room. Her confusion was undeniable, she was a little on gaurd about what she was here for. She tried to remember the last thing she saw.

"Hello Ashleen" Rai called as she turned to look at him to see him smiling at her, "don't worry Ashleen, no one is going to harm you. I know you're still confused but I'll tell you most of what you need to know for now".

Ashleen looked straight into Rai's eyes as she tilted her head a little "do I know you Ahjussi" she asked as Rai's brow twitched and Mirai chuckled.

*{I know she's my niece but.....no}* Rai thought internally while still showing a soft smile on the outside. He gently stood up so as not to alert her and walked closer to the bed, Ashleen tensed as she prepared herself "I'm not going to hurt you Ashleen" Rai said releasing a bit of his comforting aura so she could be at peace.

Ashleen looked to have become much calmer now but still guarded as Rai outstretched his hand towards her. She looked at his outstretched arm and then back up at him, she did this same action about two more times before she finally accepted his hand as Rai pulled her up out of the bed "I know you have questions Ashleen, but It's better if I show you your answer" Ashleen looked up at Rai and then she noted her surroundings began changing. She almost freaked but felt Rai's grip on her hand tighten, she looked up again as her her heart began beating in her chest.

"Ashleen" she looked up as Rai had a serious look on his face "thing's are not always as they seem, there are many secrets in the world that you aren't aware off. I'll slowly introduce you to them so you can have a better understanding of what they are and also what you are. But...some secrets are not mine to tell".

Ashleen had calmed down alot as she nod her head, Rai smiled at this and then began manipulating the surroundings as they found themselves in a wide grassy plain and a river flowing close to them, three people hung around around on the grass. One was Muzaka who was smiling as he played with Ashleen and a bit farther away was Rai watching them with a stoic look.

Ashleen although very surprised and with a look for of questions floating around in her head still stayed quiet and paid attention to the view of everything as Rai continued the memory show.......

Meanwhile Rai who was in the room also played around with a little orb in his hand as he watched a very particular person and smiled, the toy was turning out as he had expected. He was already broken and Rai had no interest in fixing him, soon enough he will be used to prepare his second toy for his journey into hatred.

Rai de-summoned the orb as it shattered and became tiny pieces of light and smiled as he felt a big spike of energy coming from thousands of kilometers away. The others too raised casual eyebrows as they sensed it and then ignored it.

Rai turned his gaze to Yuna who lay on the bed with the others, she was well aware of his plan for her close friend but was just silent about it.

The situation here wasn't that she didn't care but that she was silent, he didn't want to go inside her head to see her thoughts so all he could do was see how things play out.

Suyi's case was that she was completely Indifferent about what he wanted to do, she still saw them as close friends but she was also Indifferent about their determined fates at the same time.

Inside the System Space Garda lay down on the bed with silent sobs, Raizel floated besides the bed as he silently watched her.

A minute later she began calming herself as she wiped her tears and then sat up composing herself well and her face became a normal look as she faced Rai.

Rai gave a light smile, she had now removed all of her pain and wasn't in danger of poisoning herself anymore. "Would you like to take a Walk Garda" he asked her.

Garda nod her head as Rai smiled his eyes glowed a little as reconstructed her clothes and changed his too, he made hers into a blue jean with and a casual white top.

His was a fit white jacket and a light blue trouser. He de-summoned them outside the system and brought them outside the house as they vanished the next Instant and reappearing on top of a high building looking down at the bright city.

Rai turned his gaze to Garda and then began walking forward, Garda watched with a stoic look as Rai began walking on nothing but wind "You can follow me Garda, I did say we're going for a walk afterall" Rai said as he continued walking.

Garda silently watched Rai's back for some seconds before she took a step forward and began walking on air also, this was different from levitation or flight as she wasn't using her aura to stay airborne but she didn't think about that all.

Aa she continued walking a two meter tall portal opened up as Rai stopped turning back at her as he walked inside the portal.

Garda not really being surprised by anything else just calmly walked inside the portal also as it closed up seconds later......

Meanwhile inside the memory landscape, Rai had finished the movie and had given some explanations to Ashleen.

Ashleen was lay down on Rai's lap as he gently stroked her hair, she had received a lot of shock today in under just some hours.

"Rai-san.....do you know where Mister Is" asked Ashleen looking up at Rai. Yes, this is what he got her to agree when referring to him.

Rai smiled as he gently got up and held her hands "Let's go, I'll take you to him". Ashleen nod her head as Rai brought them out of the memory show and they were once again back inside the room, she looked at everyone on the bed as they gave her sweet smiles. She returned it also with a smile of her own which made Urne and Mirai even more happier, "You're beautiful young wolf" Urne said to Ashleen who turned her face downwards to hide her embarrassment "th....thank you Miss, Noona is more pretty herself" Ashleen spoke with a cute voice full of embarrassment.

"Call me Urne" she said pointing to herself and then "She's Mirai" she pointed again "Lunark" then "Yuna and Suyi" she turned back to Ashleen "were all your elder sisters and we promise to take care of you, so take care of us also as well" Urne said to Ashleen who nod her head while still putting her face down, Ashleen as never one to stay amongst many people. Before it had just always been herself, Rai and Muzaka. Her grip on Rai's hand got a little tighter and Rai knew it was time to move, "I'm taking her to go see Muzaka" Rai told everyone present. Urne and Mirai nod their heads as Rai began walking with Ashleen towards the exit.

Rai opened the door and vanished with Ashleen the next Instant as he appeared on top of a high building, he looked down at Ashleen "Ashleen, remember. You're not human like I told you, I want you to keep up with me and jump".

"Ehhh?" She looked at Rai and then the wide open space, her heart began beating loudly in her chest "b.. but I've not received any training, I can't leap that high" she said her grip on Rai's hand getting stronger.

Although Ashleen was unaware but the power of her grip was actually more than 800tons of pure force, and she wasn't even bringing anything close to her real strength in just normal form alone.

The only reason why she wasn't aware of is because of who's hand she was gripping, a normal human would have died 9times over screaming in pain as their bones became crushed.

"You don't have to worry Ashleen, just trust me" Rai said giving her a warm smile and Ashleen looking at Rai's eye calmed down as she took in a deep breath and took a stance as she leaped forward moving almost like a bullet as she moved in the air landing perfectly and with Complete balance. Her eyes were wide open in shock as she looked at herself wandering how she could control herself that perfectly.

"It's in your heritage" said Rai's voice that had appeared next to her. She looked up at him and Rai smiled " werewolves are born with an instinctually good level of control over their body and aura and therefore are able to perform easy tasks like these with no problem.

"Ahh....I see" she said looking straight ahead and Rai walked forward as he stood close to the edge his eyes looking in a particular direction in silence, a low roar sound coul be heard if one listened closely. ''ll postpone your training session, I should take you to see him now" Rai said as Ashleen nod her head in understanding and Rai outstretched his arm for her take it.

As she did Rai Instantly vanished and then appeared in the werewolf country to meet with the sight of Muzaka looking up at the sky standing right next to Maduke's dead body as tears rolled down his cheeks. His emptiness covered the entire Land.

Ashleen looked at Muzaka as she weakly put her her hand on her chest feeling a little pain, she didn't even bother with the corpse besides him as she had seen and killed people before also. She built up the courage and called out to him.

– "Mister" –.... _____________________________________________

[<Present>]

Every other werewolf had gone back inside to give space for Muzaka and Ashleen, Rai as the only person left as he watched the two Converse with each other.

*haha....hahaha *sigh* Muzaka smiled looking at Ashleen, who was still giggling cutely and gently ruffled her hair. Her big blue eyes looked at him in happiness, as he smiled warmly "I'm really sorry Ashleen" he said to her but she smiled "it's Okay Mister, it wasn't your fault".

Muzaka bit his tongue as he tried to find a way to tell her who he was without making her feel hurt or uncomfortable, but he just stayed himself and told her directly "I'm your Father Ashleen" and both of them went quiet.

Ashleen gazed into Muzaka's eyes for a long time and then a beautiful warm smile crept upon her lips as tears of joy rolled down her cheeks and she hugged him hard giving cute little sobs.

"I already suspected it....papa" she called him for the first time acknowledging her father truly and Muzaka smiled hugging her also. He raised his head as he looked at Rai who gazed at them in silence, he pulled way from Ashleen and looked at her "Wait a here a bit Ashleen, I have to go talk with Raizel".

Ashleen nod her head as Muzaka smiled patting her head one last time before he got up and walked over to Rai.

Raizel calmly looked at Muzaka who stood in front of him.

"I don't know exactly you're able to do what you did but....thank you for bringing Ashleen back. I'm forever in your–

"Don't"

"Huh" Muzaka said surprised and with a huge look of confusion.

Raizel gazed directly into Muzaka's eyes as his gaze travelled to Ashleen who was slinging pebbles like a bullet across the land. "Ashleen is important to me also Muzaka, you do not owe me anything. As Ashleen's father you will be exempt from repaying this particular deed of mine" Rai said bringing his gaze back to Muzaka who was looking at him with searching eyes.

......"What exactly happened to you Raizel, how did you change so much in under just some centuries".

Rai smiled "This is the real me Muzaka, he was just asleep for a long while".

<Boom>

They both turned their head to see a shattered boulder and Ashleen nervously scratching the back of her head "Sorry" she said

Muzaka smiled and turned to Raizel "That reminds me, when did Ashleen awaken her werewolf side. I noticed her strength when she had me, is it because of whatever you did to bring her back?".

"I awakened her myself" Rai replied.

Muzaka's eyes became focused "Raizel...why would you do such a thing, you know the reason why I kept Ashleen away from our side was precisely because I wanted her to be free and live a normal life. Her mother would have wished the same thing".

Rai calmly gazed at Muzaka as he responded "what makes you think she can't be free, even while unawakened she was already better than most human warriors In every aspect, she even took down a full grown bear. She is a born warrior Muzaka".

Muzaka shook his head and sighed "but that was normal Raizel, I already knew of her talent and potential as someone of my blood. But everything she learned was for the sole purpose of survival Raizel, I only taught her to be strong because the human world was full of savages that could harm her if she wasn't strong enough. Same with the werewolf clan but the dangers was much lesser in the human world".

Rai watched Ashleen as she curiously wandered the land looking at all the destruction that had been caused by all the battles that occurred, and then returned his gaze back to Muzaka "She is free Muzaka, unlike you she has no responsibilities and with her character it's impossible for her to want it. Her becoming an awakened isn't going to change that. And for her being harmed?.....there would be no being with a greater death wish than for whomever shall dare" Rai's voice carried a deep threat that carried on into the cosmos embedding itself into it, daring whichever being would ignore it.

Muzaka gazed at Rai as he gave a light chuckle "Yeah.....you really have changed" he said turning to look at Ashleen and the two stood in silence...

"It's really not possible for us to go back as we were huh" said Muzaka.

"No Muzaka...it isn't". Said Rai as he began walking towards Ashleen who saw him and smiled. "Hello Rai-san" she said as Rai stood in front of her.

"I have to go Ashleen" he said as Ashleen turned down a little "Oh".

Rai smiled "You can come meet me anytime you wish, and even have fun with your Noona's. I'll even visit you myself" Ashleen raised her head up smiling brightly as Rai gently ruffled her hair looking at her "if you want you can also talk to me through our Link, and if you want to meet me all you have to do is think it".

Ashlee nod her head "ok Rai-san"

Raizel smiled "Take care Ashleen" he said turning around and walked away as he flew off the next second.

Ashleen looked at Muzaka who was smiling warmly at her and walked over as she hugged him, "papa" she called.

"What is it Ashleen" Muzaka asked as Ashleen raised her head up to look at him "Can you train me to become stronger, I don't want both of you to protect me all the time"she said staring into Muzaka's eyes as he silently gazed back at hers and smiled "of course Ashleen, as the Strongest Lord in history my blood is destined for greatness". Muzaka said puffing his chest out as Ashleen giggled *hehe* "if you say so papa" Muzaka gave a light laugh and gently pat her head as his gaze wandered around the land "Let's go Ashleen" he said as Ashleen nod her head "mmn" and they left....

Meanwhile somewhere in the city Shinwoo was running crazily at his top speed zooming past people like a blur, his heart beating against his chest as he panted hard.

From 50meters away he could see the huge blaze of fire, he prayed deeply in his heart that he wasn't hurt.

He reached the house skidding to a stop to see firefighters trying to out out the blazing monster that razed violently. The huge fire reflected in Shinwoo's eyes, he got himself a second later as he looked around frantically "gyeol...g....GYEOL!!" he yelled.

One of the firefighters turned to him "Calm down kid, what are you doing here. Get back now" he demonstrated from him to move.

"S...sir have you seen a little–

A tap on the shoulder interuptted him which made him jump in surprise until he saw a handsome man who was the same height as him "Um.. oh– excuse me sir have you–

*Chuckle"*

"Eh?"

The man smiled " It's me Shinwoo"

"Umm...do i kn–

" Hey Kid I say move out now" a firefighter called startling Shinwoo, he was about to asked again if he knew where 'he' was but;

"Shinwoo".

He turned to look at the unknown man again "It's me...Han-gyeol"

...."Eh? Shinwoo had a weird love ok on his face looking at the man "what kind of joke do you want to play here, how do you even know gyeol" Shinwoo's tone turned threatening.

*sigh*

"Remember what you said happened to Raizel and Suyi noona" gyeol Said as Shinwoo's face became one of someone who had given up on life Completely "no....no way" he said begging for it not to be true but his hopes got even more crushed when gyeol nod his head confirming it "Yep. *nod* I caught the virus too"

–.......(╥﹏╥). Shinwoo tapped gyeol's shoulder as the tears poured out of his eyes giving him a smile "I'm happy for you gyeol...so very happy ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ....

Gyeol: (~_~;)・・・

Meanwhile Rai and Garda had finally returned from their Walk and Garda had a beautiful smile on her face as she and Rai walked on the air moving back to house

"Thank you...Raizel" she said giving Rai a genuine warm smile and he returned it also with a beautiful smile of his own. The walk back home was very silent but extremely warm an beautiful.....
