Chapter 38 - The Deadline

Zephyrus and Eris finally calmed down after their very intense conversation earlier.

"I wasn't able to ask you, but why did you call me here, Eris?" Zephyrus asked.

"Well, I wanted to confirm directly from you that you burned the headquarters yourself and to talk about giving you back something that was yours."

Zephyrus eyes gleamed, and she exclaimed loudly, "Do YOU MEAN MY wings?"

"Geez, a little warning would help before you scream at me," Eris said, looking a bit disoriented, "but yup, it's your wings."

"I haven't killed all of Arm though?" "Yeah, but well, you kind of destroyed them. All you need to do is hunt the scattered remaining pieces of Arm, but that already warrants you to receive at least a wing," Eris explained.

Zephyrus jumped up and down excitedly after hearing that Eris would give her a wing. "Wait, wing? as IN ONLY A WING?" Zephyrus blurted at a quick pace.

"Yup, a wing; you only get one wing back, not two. Sorry, Zephyr, it's just the rules." Eris sighed, looking apologetic.

"But does this mean I could have my wings again? I can be complete once more." Zephyrus laughed, thinking of a future for her where she could feel like herself once more.

Eris smiled but warned Zephyrus, "Yup, you may perhaps receive your other wing once you hunted the remaining sins and stopped Polaris, but Zephyrus, don't you forget you only have 1 year and 6 months; if you pass that deadline, you would turn into my stone figurine."

"Don't worry, I understand Eris, and thank you," Zephyrus grinned.

"I guess it's time for you to take back what's yours, or at least a part of it."

"How would you do it, though? Give me back one of my wings?" Zephyrus questioned.

Well, if I can take it from you, I can certainly give it back," Eris declared.
