Chapter 11: Onward to the Earth Kingdom

(Realm of the Gods)

"Are you seriously telling me that our father is going to break free from his prison?!" Unus said through his skull mask, "Preposterous!! Not to mention you had the audacity to bring mere mortals into your problems! You truly are pathetic!!"

"SILENCE UNUS!!" Yrasil said with rage. Unus looked at Yrasil who wore a golden robe with a red sash. He had tan skin and purple hair that matched his eyes. Yrasil looked towards his elder brother with disdain. Unus wore his mask and had black demonic armor on with a blood red cape to match.

"What did you say to me boy?"

"I will not allow you to insult our sister like this! She explained her reasons for doing this, and you have the audacity to come in here and spout your trash. You're lucky I do not end your existence here!!"

"Will you both please stop?" said a third voice, this time a woman. She was rather tall, slightly taller than most. She had dark green hair and a light green dress. She had pointed ears and blue eyes that were like the ocean.

"Yes, forgive me Erthys," Yrasil said with a small bow while Unus grunted angrily but otherwise held his tongue. They had both known their elder sister for years and were smart not to question her whenever she was serious. Aria mouthed a small thank you to her which was received with a nod. With that, Aria continued.

"I understand that you all have great doubts toward my decision," she said, "but I had no other option. We alone would stand little chance against our father. His power is already slipping through to the other realms and began infecting its residents. I cannot allow this to continue. My Champion was chosen for the purpose of cleansing these worlds and providing us with a chance to seal our father away once more. Hopefully permanently this time."

"We've called this meeting for the sole purpose of requesting that you would all lend us your aid in this time of need," Samael said, "to provide the tools necessary for Frankie to win!"

"As if I'll lend my aid to a worthless mortal!!" Unus said, "Don't bother me with such petty problems!"

"I admit I have my own doubts about this sister," Yrasil added, "How can we be sure for a fact that he will succeed."

"I have provided everything I can give him," Aria said, "While I maintain the balance within the Multi-Universe my actual involvement in any of them is greatly limited. That's where you all come in. If any of you are able to provide any kind of service it would be greatly appreciated!"

The other gods and goddesses looked at each other, some rather skeptical while others plain curious. Then another god stood up. He was slightly shorter than Jakon and had messy spiky blonde hair. He wore grey shoulder pads and a purple shirt with pants to match. He also wore Chinese style shoes and had a katana on his hip.

"I shall provide you whatever assistance I can Aria," he said with a soft voice, "On my honor as a god above gods, I shall perform my duties to see that our realms remain safe."

"Thank you Zatos," Aria said with a cheerful smile, "Are you providing a champion of your own?"

"Of course," he said with a small smile, "I shall produce a worthy champion worthy of fighting for the Gods!"

"Thank you so much, I shall allow you access to the realms to select your warrior or warriors should you choose to have more than one."

"When I am through," Zatos said, "I shall see to it that my single champion can stop entire armies."

As Aria and Zatos left, Jakon looked back to his siblings with a hard glare.

"This is a war that we all have to be a part of. I will not allow any one of you to sit idly by while our world is consumed by chaos. If I were you, I'd get your asses in gear and prepare your own champions if you don't want to end up being left in the dust!"

"Did he just make a game out of this?" Yrasil asked with Unus saying nothing and Erthys merely smirking in anticipation, as she herself loved games.
