Loki and Shu had a long conversation, a conversation that lasted a few hours, once they were done; Loki allowed Shu to leave.
It was an odd feeling for both of them, talking the way they did, Shu was known as a wild king, a king who went around fighting everyone instead of doing his actual work, but to Loki's surprise Shu was rather educated.
Loki just naturally assumed that the reason for this had to be how he was taught by his advisors, which of course wasn't far from the truth at all.
Loki knew just from Shu's way of talking and body language that he wasn't taught well as a child, at least when it came to his way of conducting himself, either way; at the end the conversation they had was rather productive and informative.
The two now knew something about the upcoming war, as well as how to proper for it.
Shu had landed on the mountain in which his two boys were currently at, just to find them underneath the same tree, struggling to shatter the metal orbs he had given them
" Oh, now you show your face "
Dio said as he would then drop the orb on the floor, getting a calm and unbothered look from Shu
" I was running an errand "
He said, watching his two boys dropped fall on their butts, leaning against the tree, completely tired
" You boys hungry? "
Shu questioned as the two immediately looked over at him, staring at his hands, seeing that he had two bags
" What do you have? "
They replied, just for Shu to smile as he then walked past them
" Come I'll show you "
He said, walking toward the dojo whilst being followed by the physically strained boys.
Once at the dojo Shu opened up the bags taking out three wooden boxes, one for each.
On each of the boxes there was well cooked meat, with a side of heated potatoes, another side of fries and a lot of rice
" Dad "
Raven whispered, looking at the food on his box, staring at it with a disgusted look, which Dio instantly copied the moment he opened his box
" What the fuck is this? "
The two questioned, pointing at the boxes while looking over at their father who simply blinked a few times, confused as to why his sons were looking at him like that
" It's food "
" Yes we know it's food "
Dio said
" But what is this mix? You put, meat, fries, potatoes and then rice!?! "
Raven said, finishing the sentence Dio had started, only for the two to stare at their father with a hint of irritation in their eyes
" I didn't know what to order so I just got a mixture of what I like; stop nitpicking and start eating "
Shu ordered, only for the two to suck in their lips, shaking their heads in disapproval just to start eating seconds later.
As these three ate, Fu began to gather his things preparing to go back to earth
" Did we prepare everything Ana? "
Fu questioned as he then took a step forward, walking out what seemed a castle just to be met by millions of people waving at him with smiles on their faces
" Yes my leash "
Ana replied, following closely behind him with what seemed to be a cube made of energy in hand
" Do you have all the gifts I told you to get for them? "
Fu said, to then smile at the people who were waving at him
" Yes my leash, all the presents are here "
Ana whispered as would then nod, taking out what seemed to be a key from his pocket
" Here me my people!! "
Fu yelled, shushing the citizens in front of him who's skin was grey.
" I will be gone for quiet a while, that is why I've gathered you all here; my secretary and advisor will rule in my stead, please don't be sad, I'll be back in a short while, but in the meantime that is all I have to say "
Fu yelled, only to then turn away from his citizens, stabbing the key into the air and then twisting it, causing lines of energy to spread across the air, just for a pillar of energy to fall upon him and Ana.
" Be well!! "
Fu yelled one last time, as the pillar would then drag him and Ana out of the planet, leaving the entire population of the planet silent; after all they've just seen their most beloved king leave the planet without properly explaining why.
The two traversed the dark void which was space in that energy of pillar which would continue to spread as they continued to move.
" Are you sure it was wise for us to leave like that my leash? "
Ana questioned, only to receive a small smile from her master who then shook his head
" No of course not, but I didn't want to go through all the formalities, all the talking, and paper work so i just thought of the quickest way out of there "
Fu replied with simplicity, making Ana sigh a little; she loved her master very much, she would die for her him if she needed to, but she couldn't help but think that her leash was sometimes very childish.
Many things, many people and many events were slowly but surely coming together; many things were going to happen in the near future.
It wasn't like people knew about what was coming, how could they?
These were times of peace, times of happiness, planning and preparation, no one knew that the war that was coming was going to happen out of nowhere, like a storm with no prediction
" Just a bit more till he becomes aware of what he truly is "
Lucifer said to himself as he laid against his throne of bones; a smile creeped out and his energy began to sip out of his body, cracking the walls and objects In the room
" He's yet to reach his full potential, i need to be a little bit more patient; just a bit more, soon you'll understand Shu, your reason for living "
Lucifer whispered as he looked over at what seemed to be a screen made of energy with an image of Shu eating with his children projecting from it.
