Last time, the girls and I went to Forsythia Café. Rea did it to tease Jax. Instead, he collapsed from a fever. To be more exact. He landed in Otome's arms.
A few days have passed. It's Friday. We all promised to visit Jax today. After school, we got off at Rea's house. We walked over to his home. Alexandre was walking outside. Oh, hey girls. How are you? Alexandre asked. We are doing fine. Rea replied. Our patient nearly killed himself for over working. He is frustrated at the fact he can not work for a few weeks. Alexandre replied. This may be good for him. He is a straight-A student, right? Rea asked. Yes, he is. Alexandre replied. Hey Otome, do you still have problems with chemistry? Rea asked. Yes, why are you asking? Otome asked. Jax is on a scholarship for science. To be more exact, Chemistry. Rea replied. Why do I smell someone trying to ship others? I asked. What no. Rea replied.
Jax walks outside.
What's going on out here, Alex? Jax asked. Hi Jax, are you feeling better? Otome asked. I'm fine. Jax replied. He walks back inside. Telling from his reaction, you told him about the whole collapsing in Otome's arms? Rea asked. Yes, and just imagine how he took it? Alexandre asked. In a flashback, Jax is waking up in his bed. Wait, you're telling me I collapsed? I felt like I didn't hit the floor. Jax replied. I know Otome caught you in her arms. Alexandre replied. He blushed. So that is the feeling I felt earlier? Jax thought. We all walked into the house. Are you ok, Jax? Zia asked. Why are you home, Zia? Jax asked. Z, is that you? Rea asked. My little Re-re. How are you? Zia asked. You came to check on Jax? Rea asked. Yes, and no. I just found out my little brother collapsed. He always picks up others' slack. Those guys never come in on time. They always depend on him to do things. Zia replied. My real reason originally was to come get something from my room. Zia replied. Our mom was freaking out and asked me to babysit him during the day. Zia replied. She smiles. I see you found a friend, Mr. Anti-Social. Zia replied. Jax glared at her. That is right. A year after you moved out, he befriended Alexandre. Rea replied. So you are his wingman? Zia asked. You could say that. Alexandre replied. He smiled. We go to school and work together. Alexandre replied. She saw the way Jax looked at Otome. Don't tell me. He likes this girl? Zia thought. Also, since he can't go back to school for a while. The doctor told him to play it safe. Our mom took him out of school until doc said so. He is under house arrest. Zia replied. He can't go anywhere. The car he bought for himself from his saved wages from working is wasted on him now. Zia replied. Jax looked at her. I saw the way you were eyeing my car earlier. Jax replied. He grabbed his keys out of her hands. Putting them in his sweatpants pocket. The dynamic of having an older sibling sounds interesting. I replied. No it does not. Jax and Rea replied. Start sharing. Rea replied. It's not that bad, Rea. My brother and I are twins. We share some things. Otome replied. That is right, you told us. I replied. Yes. I am not crazy about him. Otome replied. Jax, did you do your homework? Zia asked. For the next few days in advance, why? Jax asked. Mom told me to watch you because you have a tendency to keep yourself busy. She wants you to relax for this time being. Zia replied. He might listen if I have Otome visit him. She thought. Alexandre looked outside. He ran back in. I want you all to hide. Alexandre replied. We all ran into the closest room, Jax. Zagereus appeared outside. He unlocked the door. It's been awhile Alexandre Satre or should I call you buy your real name? Zagreus asked. Alexandre glared at him. Zagreus sat in the armchair. Alexandre sat on the couch in front of him. I heard through the grapevine you were forced to protect the Crimson Empress? Zagreus asked. What of it? Alexandre asked. A man such as yourself. Zagreus replied. What the hell do you want, Zagreus? Alexandre replied. Well don't you have vulgar mouth? Zagreus asked. I know you didn't come here to talk to me. You came to kidnap, Rea Maroglou. Rea looked terrified. What does he want with me? Rea thought. She looks just like her. You just wanted to know if she is her reincarnation, correct? Alexandre asked. Zagreus is looking shocked. You were hired to take her back with force if she rebels. If I am correct? Alexande asked. Hand her over. Zagreus replied. Her father, the Crimson Emperor instructed me to protect her no matter what. Alexandre replied. Then you desire death. Zagreus replied. Alexandre opened the door. He elbowed Zagreus in the face. He flew into the trees. Getting up, Alexandre was in front of him to punch in the jaw. He summoned a sword. A dark ominous present appeared. Time stopped and Alexandre could not move. A portal appeared out of nowhere. What's taking so long? Melinoe asked. She snapped her fingers. Gravity pulled Alexandre ground. He started coughing up blood. Fighting monsters over the years really had a toll on your body? Alexsandre Saste or should I call you Monster Slayer, Bellerophon. Melinoe replied. Did she say, Bellerophon? I thought. A magic circle appeared above Melinoe and Zagreus. So you have energy to summon a barrage of swords? Melinoe asked.
Valkyrie, I need a favor from you? Visyn asked. Yes, Crimson Emperor? Valkyrie asked.
A dazzling light appeared.
All we can hear is high heels in the distance.
You are so pitiful. Calling yourself a hero, please? She asked. Why is she here? Alexandre thought. She appeared in front of Melinoe with a hand out to grab her. Zagreus pushed her out of the way. She then summoned her saber instead. As she was about to slash Zagreus, Melinoe used her magic. The two vanished. The sky turned back to normal. Everyone ran outside. Alexandre. I replied. Alexandre, hey can you stand? Jax asked. Zia pushed Jax out of the way. Yes. Alexandre replied. No you are not, you are not. You have lost a lot of blood. Zia replied. Heal thee of all of your alignments, as my name is Valkyrie. Valkyrie replied. A spell circle of holy light appeared above him and the complete area where they attacked. She restored everything back to normal.
Why did you help me? Alexandre asked. She walks off, slashing a portal open. Then disappearing in the space. Do we still call you Alexandre? Jax asked. Yeah, No one can't know of my identity. Alexandre replied. That girl, you call her Valkyrie. I replied. She is an actual Valkyrie. Your father must have asked her to help me, Delilah. Alexandre replied. My dad? I asked. As much as she hates me, she can refuse none of your father's request. Alexandre asked. Really? I asked. She sounds a very loyal person. Otome replied. Yes, she is only called for serious threats. Wait, if she came here? Oh, hell no! Alexandre replied.
At that Crimson Palace.
Valkyrie, I know you will refuse this request. Visyn replied. What is it? Valkyrie asked. Can you go help Bellerophon fend off Zagreus and his company? Visyn asked. Valkyrie had such disgust on her face. She walked off. You can't walk off, the emperor is speaking to you. Clover replied. It is fine, Clover. Visyn replied. She has always been a proud and stuck up since Odin referred her to you all those many years ago. Clover replied. As much as they hate each other, they're both part of my twelve hand selective warriors. She uses Holy Sword Magic. He uses Demon Slayer Magic. Visyn replied.
Please come together and protect my precious daughter, Delilah. He thought.
