And the day of the summoning came. As I promised, I am at the summoning point where Medea will summon them. The point is actually a platform which is inside the castle premises.
I asked Medea if it was alright to come and she gave me her yes. I teleported immediately with Aisha, Belle and Leah in tow.
When I finished teleporting, I was met with a small squadron of armed combatants. They were ready for something.
And when I stood in the room, they pointed their spears towards me.
I am tired of this. I see everyone is present. I see a gaudy chair on which a middle aged man is sitting. He has a different aura from the rest and is probably the king.
He is sitting behind a big golden chair. Probably for Medea. When the king saw me, he jumped. I can see his veins bulging.
I see Medea standing in the middle of a circular podium. She is smirking at me.
"Medea, enough of your tricks. You clearly didn't tell them that I was coming, did you?"
She just stuck her tongue out and made an oops face. She looks cute but that beside the point.
I need to give her a sermon but I think I will postpone it for now.
"So, I will begin the summoning. We have a guest with us. He is Akatsuki, my good friend and my superior. So do get along with him." (Medea)
This statement was lacking. It was lacking explanation. I can feel the surprised gazes of people.
Everyone is looking at me. So this is probably them questioning how am I superior to their Goddess?
"He is my superior because he is the prince of all gods. The son of the God king Zeus and Queen Juno. He is a benefactor and good friend of mine and he played a crucial part in saving this world. Show any disrespect and I will make sure you all disappear." (Medea)
Medea released a fraction of her divinity which lowered the temperature and everyone shivered.
They are afraid of me now. The soldiers who were showing hostility towards me now stopped. They are giving me a frightened gaze.
"Medea, no need to be so scary. I won't do anything anyway. I have been out of sight for about 5000 years so I won't do anything now."
But telling them that I am 5000 years old isn't a good thing either.
"So let's begin. Akatsuki, I hope you are prepared!" (Medea)
"Why should I be prepared?"
"In case. They are quite angry, you know!" (Medea)
"I will brace myself."
With that, Medea began the summoning. It is a long ritual which uses too much magic. Even a god like her will have to use half of her entire capacity.
And if a human wants to, then they will need at least a thousand top class mages.
I can see the summoning magic circle and it's glowing. I look to my side and see that The Valkyries are stiff.
"Loosen up. You won't be killed."
"I think I have used half of my lifespan here." (Aisha)
"The summoning magic is even more complex than I thought." (Leah)
"Are the heroes strong?" (Belle)
Aisha is the only one worrying about stuff. Leah is calmly analyzing the circle and Belle is wondering if the heroes are strong?
So this is just them being them. And the summoning is nearing its completion. I can feel the distortion in space time.
Since they are being summoned from a different universe, they have to be brought here through hyperspace.
I think Medea is a bit exhausted. So I refilled her magic reservoir. She probably noticed it and began putting in more magic to quickly teleport them.
With a bright light which made everyone cover their eyes, they came.
They are standing at the middle of where the circle was. They haven't changed at all. They are just as I remember.
Both Mizuki and Mary are the same. Or so I thought but they are staring a hole through me. Probably because they are angry with me.
The king is also confused and Medea came near me.
"Thanks for the extra magic. It would've taken a lot more time if you hadn't. But now, prepare yourself. For the wrathful reunion." (Medea)
"Don't make it so dramatic. Anyway, why do I feel another divinity? Is Selene coming?"
"Ahh…yes, Selene is coming in Selena's body. I should announce it as well. People, we have another guest inbound. The goddess of Moon Selene is coming here with her priestess. Be respectful towards her." (Medea)
The king and others are kinda confused but they took her word for it.
"Sorry that it's turned into a personal reunion of mine."
I apologize to the Valkyries.
"Don't mind us. But they are giving you quite the hot stare." (Aisha)
"I did something stupid so I will probably get yelled at."
I shiver. If Mary starts her sermon, it won't stop. So I brace myself as they are coming towards me.
