Two weeks had passed since Amina announced to the world about the party.
And the day had finally come, when the capital city of the Sylvia kingdom was filled with travelers and warriors from around the globe.
The Sylvia kingdom, that is now under Amina's rule.
The party only started at night.
One carriage after another arrived.
The kings and queens, and heirs to the thrones arrived first.
It has been a long time since the heirs met. The little friendship these young ones made had a significant impact on the push of the demons when Diana and Cayn disappeared.
With Amina's amazing tactics and under her leadership she had put them to good use, especially after witnessing the change they had after sparing with Cayn.
Right now all of them stood in front of her, Ryo and his sister Yuki, Cassis, and Haru, and finally, Rin and Sakura, who seemed to have changed the most.
Ella and her two older brothers, Rai and Allen were behind Amina as she greeted the guests.
The kings and queens slowly made their way after them.
The kings and queens of the kingdom of Roz, Yamato, the Archion king, Julien, and finally the Leoryn king, Salman followed by an unknown handsome man who seemed close with Cassis.
In this party, only one seat was placed, only one throne.
And to everyone's surprise. Their beautiful goddess and queen Amina didn't sit there even once throughout this party.
She took this chance to bring out the names of a few formidable warriors who accomplished amazing feats in the wars. And with the kings and queens of each kingdom by her side, they started by giving titles and land to each one of them.
This party was more special than any before. Because many of those warriors, were of different races. Elves, half-beasts, dwarves, and even angels, who were always in the hideout between the Sylvia kingdom and the demon territory, were also invited.
But back then, because of the demon's expansion, they had to resurface into the world and fight for their land. Amina had used this chance, by helping them live in this country and finally helping them get back their territory to recruit them to her ranks. Some of them were also heirs to their thrones in their countries.
They were all being treated closely as guests of honor by the princes and princesses of the human kingdom, making sure they were treated with respect no matter the differences they had.
With the party on going everyone was waiting on one person.
One person whose name was sung across the battlefields.
Diana.
The woman who was leading the gods.
None of the people here know of the existence of the primordial god and the evil god.
For all they know, Diana was the one who fought the demon gods alone, barged directly into their castles and spread chaos, and a second time alongside the other gods, leaving only two demon gods remaining alive to this day.
Their goddess of war was yet to make an appearance.
A lot of people here already started chatting about her. While they all looked strong and were confident in their powers no one had enough guts to barge in alone into the demon territory.
They waited until suddenly the gods' arrival was announced.
Everyone became silent.
Amina stood at the podium and introduced each one of them.
The god of light, Aither.
The goddess of fire, Helia.
The water goddess, Nu.
The twin god and goddess of the sky and earth, Borys and Morana.
The god of thunder, Ryujin.
The god of angels, Ariel.
And lastly, the god of darkness and beasts, Shiro, who was the most intimidating of them all.
While everyone was making a fuss.
Who would have thought, that there will come a day when they can witness all the gods they revered in their lives standing in front of them?
Everyone bowed down in respect.
Only two didn't. Amina, and Ella.
The part then carried, being as lively as before with many people gathering around the gods this time.
But, there was one person here who was too quiet, drinking alone in his corner.
The man that came with Salman.
The tall handsome knight, Raist.
He was suddenly approached by Cassis.
"How are you doing over here?" He asked him.
Cassis seemed to become a different man than before.
He was more composed and calm compared to his old self.
Raist took a sip from his glass. "I have to say, it feels weird having gods and beings other than humans being this happy together."
"You don't say. Who would have thought such a day would come."
"A day where your sister is the one leading the gods?"
Cassis chuckled. "Ha, gods or not, I am sure she is still treating them the same. I just heard from her royal highness Amina that she usually curses at them."
"How could she know?"
"Well, it seems like even Amina was training with the gods before this war blew up, and before Diana disappeared."
Raist's eyes turned cold as he looked at his glass. "Since when, were the gods so easy to talk to? To train with and curse at your whim?"
Cassis smiled. "You will meet the reason soon enough."
Raist's eyes fell on the black ring in hin hand. "Yeah, I can't wait to see the man who turned the gods upside down."
"He also turned her life, if I am being honest."
"What do you mean?" He turned to look at him.
"Diana was never this ambitious before. It was only when she met him that something in her changed. No, rather, what she had deep within her, surfaced for the first time."
"And what would that be?"
Cassis took a deep breath. "Well, she got her shit together for one. She is unfazed by anything that is not her priority. And that is, her hunger for power. I am sure when she comes back, she will reclaim father's throne. And if I may say, it seems that even Amina is waiting for her return. You may have to see, Diana standing at the top of the food chain when she comes back for good."
"Because of what she has been achieving?"
"If only it was for that."
"Hmm?"
"You, might not recognize the woman that will stand before you. She is not, the little princess you once knew. She is a woman now. One everyone here admires and looks up to."
There was a light smirk on Raist's lips. "For all I know, she only grew powerful." 'She will always be, that little girl."
Cassis smirked and drank his wine, "If you genuinely think that, then you are merely a fool."
Raist's cold eyes turned to look at him. "You are the one who changed, daring to talk to me like that after so long."
"No, I didn't. If it weren't for my sister's beatings I would have still been stuck in the old times. The old times that I remember so clearly."
Raist's eyebrows twitched. "Your memory may be hazy, remembering nonsense."
Cassis started laughing. "Oh no. No no no no no. I remember everything, so clearly. Letting you enjoy these few moments before she comes here, is only sympathy from me. Even though, you don't deserve any of it."
"Ha," sighed Raist, 'It seems like he truly remembers.' "Then why haven't you said anything to King Salman? Are you planning on taking me, over stuff that happened in our childhood? I can only apologize for what my younger self did. She changed. I did too."
Cassis gave a light cold smile to Raist. "I wonder why this childish side of me is still holding on to the grudges for what you did back then. I still haven't forgiven you. Anyway, I can't wait to see what she thinks of all this."
Cassis walked closer to Raist's ear. "Will she forgive you?" He whispered. "Or will she kill you on the spot?"
He then looked at Raist. "Can't wait." He smiled and drank his glass in a breath as he started walking away. "I made sure you don't leave. Enjoy the party!" he said while giving him a farewell sign with his hand.
Raist turned his eyes around. The knights standing by the windows and the door were all staring at him.
