House Arcanon.
Part of the Blue Blood Clan and also the last remaining descendants of the ancient Persian Achaemenid Empire believed to be descendants of their great Emperor and often considered as the 'God King' in some literature, King Xerxes the Great.
They are the rules of Arzan, a known secluded Country in the lands near Iran, a private country that belonged to the very House and its family members alongside their servants while being ruled by their 'Duke'. This country is so private, close to the rest of the world and its maps, a country that is widely known for its name but only a few know where its location is.
Such as...
" To think I have to come here again, bweh! " Loki sprouts his tongue, while he and Matron Supreme alongside some of their respective people came into the country using their Aircraft to quickly fly into that place.
" So tell me, Matron Supreme? " Loki gives the first question.
" Which of the Arcanon do you believe to be promising? " Loki asks Matron Supreme as she takes some breath.
" Vlad 'Ragna' Arcanon, my dear Lord. " Matron Supreme reveals.
" You know him... "
" One of the Arcanon Duke's..., nephews...? " Matron Supreme says which makes Loki burst his mouth.
" Pffth! What!? " Loki hears it and can't even believe it when hearing the very name.
" Vlad! The Youngest One of the Arcanon's Bloodline!? "
" That's your prospect!? " Loki asks the Matron Supreme in panic, he sure does, knowing who 'Vlad' is.
" That savage..., never thought I heard of him again. " Loki sighs.
" Didn't I tell you and Duke Arcanon to make sure that kid is locked in the safest of places? "
" To make sure he never comes out from the House's..., Domain? " Loki asks again, wondering why of all the people of the House itself and the Sanctus Sorores, they had to choose Vlad for the prospect.
" Because, unlike the others, Milord... "
" Only Vlad, of all House Arcanon... "
" Had the strength to contain the power of the 'Great Black Dragon's Scales'. "
" Milord knows, what kind of 'Scales' I'm talking about? "
" No, no, no, no, no! " Loki interrupts as he slaps his forehead, realizing how far this has been going.
" Didn't I tell you to not ever, use that 'Scales' again!? " Loki reminds the Matron Supreme but Matron Supreme responds by bowing and replied.
" It wasn't me nor the Order or House Arkanon in particular, to use the Scales again. "
" But it was instead, the Allfather of Olympus who decided to visit us and ordered us to use that scales on him. "
" Injecting him with its power, enhancing his human flesh while the Lord, after all these years... "
" Decides to give him a 'Gift Core'. " Matron Supreme tells.
" This happened weeks ago, Milord... "
" Lord Zeus ordered us, please have- "
" Uncle Zeus, huh? " Loki sighs after hearing such a fact, never in his mind he would hear him giving his Gifts to a Mortal.
" Well, he should have some enlightenment to do such things, after returning from the 'World of Dreams'. "
" Speaking of Gifts? Despite his rarely giving any people as such, he once did it with some Heroes of Ancient Greece such as Achilles and his other Son, Perseus... "
" Perseus... "
" I know, Perseus had something with do with the House, especially with the Ancient Persians themselves..., but regarding this connection... "
" Why Vlad, of all people? " Loki wonders his brain gears immediately moves as the Aircraft lands on the Country after flying through an invisible barrier that can only be entered by those who know of the place*.
" Is it because of him being the Youngest of the Arcanon Noble...? "
" Or perhaps Zeus found him similar to him for being..., the 'Youngest'? " Loki sighs as his Aircraft lands over the docks of the Arcanon House's castle.
* Aircraft lands. *
As the Aircraft lands and opens its doors, Loki enters with the Matron Supreme while the women greeters from the House greet them.
" Welcome to House Arcanon, Lord Loki... "
" It's been a long time... "
" Come Milord..., the Duke and the Allfather had been expecting you? "
" Allfather? " Loki asks but suddenly his sight is averted to the Matron Supreme.
" Lord Zeus' here, Milord. "
" He comes here in a flash, he was also the one who sent us to you in Asgard too. "
Hearing the answers, Loki could only accept the answers since he was in a hurry to see things happening inside the very place itself.
Loki enters the place, directed into a place where it's the place for the VIP Audience in the House's very Battle Halls.
" Lord Loki, welcome... " said a sneaky old man, sitting in his specialized wheelchair while his body was injected with many body fluids.
" Grand Demon Sect Leader* " Loki calls him, he recognizes his pawn as he senses his presence.
" Why are you here? You're invited too? " Loki asks him while a voice replies to him.
" *Laughs* We all know that my dear nephew Vlad existed thanks to the Demon Sect's help. " said a raspy voice person who entered the place.
When he enters, he looks at the Matron Supreme and she responds with a cold stare as well.
" Duke Arcanon... " Matron Supreme greets him, as the Duke comes with his gigantic gold metallic body, leaving only his head seen, the only part of his human flesh that was still uncovered by his gold metallic vessel.

The Duke approaches and bows his huge Metallic body to greet Loki, as he greets, another comes, a person Loki should've expected to meet in this place.
" You are the god who ruled the skies, aren't you, Uncle Zeus? " Loki asks Zeus to come.
" You control the thunder and the lightning, using its might and speed to make sure you go in an instant. "
" I mean..., we were just recruiting some things from Tartarus... "
" So are you sure..., we're going to do it now? " Loki asks as Zeus then whistles, calling the person who will soon become his Avatar.
" Lord Loki... " The person enters, with his arms' skin spiked with scales as well as the rest of his shoulders and neck, alongside some in his torso and back.
