Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

"I'd suspected as much," Mephisto said, his tone extremely demonic, as he waved his hand, and from the very shard, a blazing black serpent eating its tail appeared. His expression only darkened.

"Blasted across space and time, to now." Zero said, " Almost like a warning. A precursor to the future. For your sigil to appear, that means you had something to do—"

"I'd already promised you I'd not hurt the children." The Fallen darkly spat, trembling as he sucked in a large breath. "This is bad. Laevatein was from the blood and powers of the Fourteen Generals. To break it required the blood of a forsaken or greater power."

"It was forged with the blood of the forsaken,' I whispered, letting my forsaken aura leak. It covered the shard, and nothing happened. "It is my child, Mephisto. It was of my blood. That weapon cannot be destroyed by my blood," I paused, snapping my eyes to him, " What I want to know is why my child's sword has your crest over its edge?"

Mephisto opened his palm, and the shard instantly appeared within his hand, " Because my future self did it the moment we arrived in Arcadia." He looked down upon the shard and returned it to me, "As a contingency should something happen. I'll deal with this," He said in the coldest expression I'd ever seen him reveal. He vanished.

"What the hell is that about?" I coldly ask, feeling my pain fade, leaving only icy clarity. The divinity of Sin ran through my soul, pushing down any unnecessary feelings.

"You needn't worry about Mephisto," Zero calmly said. " This shard being here is an impossibility even if time travel is conceptual. One cannot travel this far back."

"That is correct," Izavith assured.

"Then it could be an event like Zariel when Heaven and Earth created his master." He said, confusing as that entire timeline was still absent from my mind. He still continued," Back when Zariel was mortal, his power had accidentally killed the previous Lord of Order of the Universe. There was no replacement, so in that instant when Zariel had turned the entire universe unstable, Heavens and Earth acted on their own. They created a creature who could act as the new Lord of Order, a few chaos cycles before Zariel was even conceived."

"But how far could this shard travel back, and how could we have all missed such an important thing? You all were watching," I calmly asked.

"If it were a new enemy, then they'd have no idea who we are… "he paused, narrowing his eyes, "The Third Eternal, what did he say? Didn't he say he didn't kill Yuki? While the evidence stands against him, what if he didn't?"

"But he was half dead." Said Zariel.

"Yes, as was Yuki. And none of them had reason to lie." he said smilingly, " that bastard figured it out first."

"Spit it out, Zero," Zariel coldly said, sliding his eyes to me and then back to Zero.

"What did the Pale Lord say? The Azure Abyss calls."

"They're alive." I hopefully said.

"Yeah, but—"

"But you are not to meet them," A cold effeminate voice said as the void trembled, twisting, as a small child the height of Truck-Kun appeared. "Forgive my appearance, but I'm still recovering." She said, lifting her snow-white head to me, her silver eyes pale as the white star held me in its sight. "You may call me the Pale Lord."

She said 'them!'

The pale lord surveyed everyone, her eyes landing on my little sister, who met her with a large smile. They both nodded as if recognizing something together.

"What is the significance of you being here?" Zero calmly asked, his mask slowly beginning to release an emerald light.

"I am not here to fight; most of my energy is there to keep his children alive." The Pale Lord uttered, shaking her small head, " I'm only here to warn you that should any of you see the twins, they will die. Even you." She turned to Zariel, " Crowe is also there but heavily injured."

My brother smiled, as did I, as I almost hugged this little loli. But I held myself down, " Then the sage who Zariel attacked."

"Is nearing his end. And he requires a replacement. Preferably someone whos not of a Forsaken. I'll not have our order contaminated by filth."

"We have the person," Zero calmly said, and I could feel him smile. "But we'd like the reason why Yuki—"

"She died for your children. Destroying her soul and body to keep them alive. The Twins lost, and this was the price for defeat." The Pale Lord said, vanishing coldly.

My stomach curled as a rancid feeling slithered up my throat, " She never told us."

"But it explained why she never killed us when she was raped. Or when we were born. She could have but didn't." Zariel weakly said, lifting his head to the skies. "She knew her future and ours."

Tears crept into the corner of his eyes, but he shook his head, wiping away the sparkles, " Keep the shard; we'll make them brats come visit us if it's the last thing we do." He said, turning to Izavith and the other generals. " You all go find your young masters. You, abyssal fiends, are still exempt from the rules as a hole in this Planer Realm till Lilith dictates otherwise."

"And whatever you do. Don't ask any questions. Just accept and move on." Zero added and turned to the angel Mephisto handed my wife too, " Ariel, you send Lilith back to the Origin Realm and explain everything. We'll handle the rest. Zena, flick your father off for me."

One by one, more and more started to vanish till only Levi, and I was left. And honestly, I could not be happier. That was a scare. Jesus Christ.

Glaring down at the shard, I smiled, tracing my fingers over its edge, "You little bastards better get ready for a tough life. Because I'm going to train you so hard, you'll shit yourself each time you see me. By the time I'm done, you'll be ready for anything. Knowing you got badly injured made everything set in stone, but I'll be damn if you all didn't at least fuck up your enemy."
