Chapter 26 - - Politics

[Sorry about that, my families water well broke and we had to do a lot of stuff yesterday, buying water, and other stuff. But i still wanted to get you something. So, just posted this 1 or 2 hours early.]

"Although I enjoy the fact that you decided to come here and visit me, Ophis, I would like to know the actual reason you came to me." Ophis sighed and sat up along with Izanami. "Well, me and Kazu were in China because I wanted to make a foundation for a religion based off of me, and along the way we encountered many devils, and I wanted to know. What the hell happened? When I was alive, each death god held each other back, but it seems like old man Hades is running rampant."

Izanami exhaled and looked at the ground before answering Ophis. "I thought that as well, until a couple years back, Hades broke our trust and killed one of us, that bastard… He killed Hel, and he put Ereshkigal in critical condition, that bastard betrayed us! He nearly killed us all, he even took one of his fellow Olympians' life as well. All in some vain attempt to gain power, which he sadly did, I tried to stop him, I really did, but he absorbed Hel's power and overpowered me. If only I had my Amenonuhoko, I could've killed him then and there!"

Ophis shuffles next to Izanami and hugs her, calming her down before she destroys something. "It's okay Izzy, I know you tried your best, and I know how much Hel and Ereshkigal mean to you. Don't worry, one day you'll get your revenge. Thank you for telling me about this though, it is very nice to know that you still trust me with this kind of information." Izzy hugs her back and speaks with a solemn voice. "You're fine, I would teleport you where Ereshkigal is to see her, since I know how close you two are. But I'm sure the other death gods and the Egyptian gods don't want to see you. Ra would start having conniptions if he saw you, and I'm sure you wouldn't want little Kazu over here going through that old man's antics."

Ophis chuckles a bit. "You're right , he is a pain in the ass to deal with. Well, once again, thank you for telling me about this, I'll make sure to come back to see you sometime. Though we have some important stuff to do, we don't have much time until the gods realize I'm here and start to hunt me. Do you have anything you need help with? I would like to help you out with anything you need help with, I owe you that much at least, not even counting all the debts I owe you from all those years ago."

Izanami just sighs and sets her head on Ophis' shoulder. "No, although Japan is very chaotic right now, I don't need anything from you. Just seeing your face is enough for me, seeing my little sis not in pain, not trapped in your little box in the void. You even have your lover back from your previous life. I couldn't be more happy right now, thank you for even coming here to see me." She wraps her arm around Ophis, giving her a little side hug.

"If you say so Izanami, but make sure to call me if you need help with anything, I will stop whatever I'm doing to help you. Well, I believe it's time for me and Kazu to go, I'll come back to visit you someday. Love you Izzy, goodbye." Ophis gave her a final kiss before standing up and grabbing my arm. "Come on ya big lug, we have work to do." She pulled us both through the portal, leaving Izanami by herself.

…. "Well, guess it's back to being by myself, oh well, at least she's doing good. Still, that guy…. Good lord, is he a fucking monster. His soul, it doesn't just house 2 dragons, but something else, something primordial. It felt like a black hole, pulling me into the darkness, if he spent more time in the void…. Not only would this world be fucked, but so would the universe. Time, space, and the fabric that makes up the seams of this world, would all collapse, forming the cocoon of a new god, a new Primordial. What chaos, and what a snatch for my little Ophy but…. The amount of juice I could smell, it smelled like Minamoto-no-raiko's bedroom after a night of debauchery. That woman is so fucking horny, i'm suprised she hasn't pounced on him and rode him like a bull yet. Still, the flute had that major of an effect, how horrible of a person he was, how many did he kill, millions… if not close to a billion. Though I am not any better, how hypocritical of me."

"So Ophis, what should we do? There are a lot of places we could go to get answers I'm sure." Ophis waves her hands and a holographic map of the world appears… show off. "I have a couple of places in mind, we could go to Greece and look for clues around there, or maybe towards Croatia or Italy to see if there are any clues over there." I sighed and thought for a minute.

"I'd rather not go to Greece, a lot of things and people could kill me there. Croatia and Italy are a bit safer but won't get us anywhere. Maybe somewhere like Cyprus? We should be able to find some clues there."

Ophis looked at me and smiled. "You're right, we should be able to find something there. But, we need to get in fashion. As you know, I used to be around the Olympians a lot, so I know how to dress like one, that's why… I'm going to dress you up like a proper, proud Greek citizen. So Kazu, time to go back to the temple and I'm going to dress you up like a doll."

I looked at Ophis with fear before trying to run away, but she grabbed me before I could run away and threw me into a portal, landing me on the bed back in the temple. She jumped through the portal and onto my lap, she looked at me and licked her lips. "Kazu, it's okay. All you have to do is take. Your. clothes. Off."

"Bad touch! BAD TOUCH!!!"
