Chapter 68 - Chapter 68 : Memory Dive (Part 7)

After seeing how Lucifer became what he is, they all understand him even more. His determination, his merciless nature towards enemies and why he tends to distance himself from others even when close to him including his four wives. They returned to the outside where all the pictures of memories were located.

"The Master's destiny is one far above our own; however, he can't do this alone," Blossom explained.

"Lucifer wouldn't never accept help from any of us," Fenrir responded with a huff.

"That may be true but the master only does that from the selfishness of his heart. He wouldn't want to see any of you foolishly die for his dreams."

"Was he the one who put up that barrier?" Lelania inquiried.

"Yes, but how are we going to find him in all this?" Mero wondered

Blossom snapped her finger and the scenery changed. The area became dark, inside the room there was a single black door.

"Behind this door lies the Master. Are all of you prepared to see him again?" she queried with a stern voice.

Everyone was prepared to go except for Pressila.

Lelania noticed that she had stopped and slithered back up to her. "Is something the matter?" She asked concernedly.

"I have a small confession to make but if I do, I'm afraid that you'll probably hate me, you may never speak to me again."

"You're my best friend Pressila, I would never hate you not in a million years."

After getting reassurance Pressila stayed silent for a while and she looked down on the ground shyly. "Ever since that day Lucifer jumped in to protect me from Rosario I found myself changing. Whenever I'm close to him my heart beat keeps racing and whenever I'm far away I start thinking about him. I don't understand what's happening to me," Pressila explained.

"You're in love with him aren't you?" Lelania queries

"W-what are you saying? How could I, he's your Husband," Pressila shuddered, hiding her embarrassed face.

"It's okay," Lelania consoled, then gave Pressila a hug. "I've known for quite some time now I've seen it. To be honest, it makes me happy to hear."

"It does?"

"Yes, it hurts me to see my best friend standing alone like that watching us from afar, not knowing what love is but now you made your true feelings clear, I'm proud of you."

"Would it be okay for me to fall in love with him?"

"Yes it would, we can work together to make him the happiest man in the world. Will you join us and become his 5th wife?"

Lelania requested

"I'm more than happy too, if he says yes."

"I'm sure Husband will agree now let's go bring our Husband back."

"Right."

Pressila and Lelania slithered through the door. They found themselves in a wasteland, there was no air, no water, no sky, nothing but an empty plant void of any life, the moon in the sky was dark in colour.

"What is this place?" Fenrir inqueried.

"I don't know," Blossom replied as she looked around.

"How are we going to find Husband in a place like this?"

"Look there."

Mero pointed at the sky at the flock of crows flying down from the moon. They flew over their heads and went into the forest behind them.

"Let's follow them," Rosario suggested.

They all followed the crows deep into the forest until they came to an open area where Lucifer was standing. He was standing on a pool of black water in his 6 years old body and as soon as he sensed them he turned around. His lengthy white hair fluttered and glistened in the wind and his eyes had no emotion.

"Lucifer."

"Husband."

"Dearly beloved."

" Master "

They rushed out to him and all gave him a big hug.

"Why are you guys here?" He asked, his voice was calm and emotionless.

"You idiot we have here to rescue you," Fenrir said with a huff.

Lucifer fell silent and fazed out of their arms. They were surprised when they saw him distance himself from them. He turned his back and looked at his reflection in the water.

"You guys shouldn't have come for me," He said.

Suddenly he began to glitch, morphed and returned to his 14 year old self before he became a Dragonoid. "It's almost over for me, everything I have done so far has proven to be useless. I'm not strong enough to handle it all."

"Cut the bull crap!" Fenrir fumed, then punched him on the head and he held his head rubbing it. She then hold his shoulder with her both paws and looked him in the eyes

"You're just going to give up after one defeat, who are you? The lucifer I know would never back down, not even for a minute, he would keep fighting and fighting until he gets what he wants."

"I know we are weak and we're the ones holding you back but we are willing to improve," Eve reassured.

"Just come back and give us a second chance," Lelania pleaded.

"We are willing to fight for you and give us our fullest support,"

Mero reassured him.

"So don't give up," Pressila spoke.

"And don't give in, master," Blossom said.

Lucifer fluctuated again and he changed to his current appearance as a Dragonoid. "Don't give up, don't give in," He muttered. "You guys are different, you know that?"

His wives chuckled mirthfully.

Rosario walked up to him. "I apologise for the way I've been acting, I've been so narrow-minded that I couldn't see what was really important, so you have back so I can apologise to you," she requested.

Suddenly everyone except for Lucifer started to glow.

"What's happening?" Mero asked worryingly.

"Time is up for us," Blossom explained.

They all turned back into light particles, flew through the door and everything else until they reached outside. They opened their eyes and found themselves standing over Lucifer's body.

"I'm back to normal," Pressila muttered as she looked at her body.

"Did it work? Will he come back?" Fenrir queried.

"That's for the master to decide—oh my!" Blossom looked in a particular direction. "The Kingdom Of Falmiere is on fire."

"What!!" Rosario shouted in surprise when hearing such shocking news.
