"To get this straight... You ran into the portal by mistake, escaped a organization of werewolves, ran through a forest that you should have been trapped in, was saved by a beauty, fell in love with the beauty, and now you're here after nine years to organize a wedding." Mamoru repeat after I told them what happened. He had his forehead rest on the back of his hands and his elbows on his knees.I
"You forgot the part where she became one the biggest figure in Khel." Ayumu added while she turned the page of a book she got off the bookshelf.
"I purposely didn't mention that Ayumu! You are getting it later and I will not stop until I am fully satisfied!" Megami lashed at Ayumu.
"TMI. There's a little one here. And you became one the biggest figure in the other world?!" Lee asked, surprised.
"The biggest figures in the other world to our information is Blackout, Morvimal Academy Principle, Nero the leader of the black market, and The last one we don't have a name on but from what we have gathered we call them Fallout and they are by far the most dangerous." Raku said
"Oh. Why do you call them Fallout?" Megami asked feigning curiosity.
"Because they can change an entire country from a grassland to a desert in an instant! It is terrifying!" He responded with a serious expression.
"Wasn't that when some small country's King tried to court me even after you warned him like, forty times and he still didn't let it go?" Ayumu asked me.
"I think his name was Vormy. Had to let him know his place for trying to take what is mine." Megami said releasing an ominous aura for less than a second.
The whole room stared at Megami in shock.
"You are Fallout?!" Raku asked in slight disbelief.
"Yeah. That's what they started calling me anyway. All I did was increase the temperature of the area, accelerate time on the soil for a two hundred years to turn it into hardened earth, and then used a spell to turn it into sand. It wasn't anything complex you could reverse the damage very easily by just turning back time." Megami explained.
"That isn't something most people can do Megami. It would require extensive magic in order to do so and time magic is by far the rarest and hardest to learn." Mamoru responded with an extra slouch in his form.
"Well I don't regret a thing. Now that that is done I will go look at my room." Megami got up but stopped at the stairs. "My room is still intact right?"
"Yes. I made sure of it." Lee said.
Megami ran upstairs to her room faster than they could see.
"Tell us a story!" Kanaki asked Ayumu.
"Kanaki. Don't be pushy." Raku scolded. She made a grumpy face back.
"It's all right. I'll tell you a story about the former Maou."
"Is it cool?" Kanaki asked.
"Very cool." Ayu responded.
_______________________________________
In the Past :
A long time ago there was a nameless orphan that often wandered the streets of the demon kingdom. The orphan enjoyed every day being feared for her strength and power.
Lee:"This certainly sounds like a story about a demon lord."
Ayu:"Be quiet and listen!"
Lee:"Okay I'll shut up."
Ah ahem. As I was saying. The Orphan was the strongest in the streets until one day in her teens the royal guard came. They captured her after a long fight and brought her to the castle.
Kana:"Scary"
Ayu: Glare.
The orphan was forced to kneel toward his majesty. The orphan struggled with everything they had for their pride was big.
"Child. You are my daughter and I have been searching for you for a long time." Said the demon king to the orphan
"I don't give a Living Shit about what I am to you! My mother always said my father was an ass and now I know what she meant." They spit at the demon king.
"Lucifer Hellfir. That is no way to talk to your father!" said a female voice from behind the throne.
"Don't give a shit you Slut!" The orphan responded.
"Don't talk to your parents like that! That maid that stole you deserves death!" The demon king howled in anger.
"Just cause your my bio parents doesn't mean I acknowledge you. My mom was the kindest person ever. She is forever my only parent."
"Fine. You will have to be punished for your attitude. Send her to The Tower!" The demon king declared.
"One more thing. My name isn't Lucifer Helfir. It's Ayumu Mikaribaba Maou. Get it right!" The orphan screamed as the door closed behind her.
She spent hundreds of years in the tower with no way out. She tried everything. Even breaking the wall but nothing worked.
One day however was different.
A human climbed the tower solo and made it to the top. The girl thought he would try to kill her like the others but he didn't.
"Where is the Maou? Why is there a girl here?" The man asked
"Because I am the Maou you Idiot!" The girl responded.
"What, your the Maou?! I thought the Maou would be the ugliest of the bunch that I ran into!" The man exclaimed in shock.
"Thanks for calling me ugly now can we get on with this?" Said the girl.
"Why are you in this tower?" Asked the man.
"Because of punishment. Who are you?" Asked the girl, looking at he nails.
"That's the first time someone has asked who I am." He said, wiping a nonexistent tear from his right eye.
"How is that even possible?" She Asked
"Because it's quite obvious. I mean doesn't the full white suit of armor and shiny sword and shield give it away?" He said while exhibiting himself to her.
"Nope." She said smelling her pinky finger.
"Your a country bumpkin aren't you?" He said with an exhausted sigh.
"I grew up in the city!" She howled back.
"I'm the Hero." He said in the most unenthusiastic voice possible.
"So your going to kill me. Great." The girl sighed nonchalantly.
"No, I'm not." He said and started to examine the wall.
"What will you do then? You can't leave until you kill me." She said
"It seems the wall is magic and physical resistant but only to one persons Ephre at a time." He said backing away from the wall. "That just means we have to use two peoples ephre at the same time and overload it with magic and physical attacks!"
"What do you-" she started.
BAM! BANG BAM! BANG!
"Come on! Do it with me!" Egged the Hero.
"Your Crazy!" She yelled
"The craziest ideas are usually the ones that work the best!" He yelled, never stopping from cutting the wall.
The wall had zero visual damage but the girl really did want to escape so she went with the Hero's Idea and started punching the wall.
"Hell Fire Fist!" BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
BANG BAM BANG BANG BAM BANG BANG B-BANG BAM BAM BAM BANG BAM BANG BANG BAM BAM BAM BAM BANG BOOM CRACK BAM BANG BANG BANG BANG BOOM BOOM BOOM!
CRACK CRICK CRACK BOOM BOOM BOOM CRACK BOOM BANG!
KA-BOOOOM!!
For the first time in decades the Girl known as the Maou saw daylight. She couldn't help but to cry.
"Thank you, Hero." said the girl tearfully.
"Do you have anywhere to go?" The Hero asked.
"No. Can I come with you?"
"Sure. If you can keep up!" The Hero used his sword as a foothold to fly.
"Ha! Damd Mages always are so troublesome." The now Former Maou exhaled as she formed wings out of the towers rubble and flew off with the Hero.
Afterwards the Hero became the King of Phel and The former Maou became a hidden guardian for the kingdom. The Hero and Maou were forever friends even after death.
"That is the story called The Hero and The Maou of Phel" Ayu said
"Wow. That was actually good." Mamoru said.
"That was Awesome!" Kanaki yelled and ran to her room.
"Hey guys. Why is there a robot with assassination coding implemented into it in my room?" Megami asked as she walked into the room.
"Shit! Sorry Meg. I forgot that was in there." Mamoru got up to take care of it but was stopped by Megami.
"Let me tinker with it a bit and I'll give it back. The coding could potentially create an evil robot. I will NOT allow that." Megami stated
"Oh. OK." Mamoru walked back to his seat.
"Ayu will be sleeping with me by the way. No need for another room. I will be going to work on that robot and upgrade to the latest security system. If you need something just knock." Megami walked back to her room.
"Wow. I'm surprised." Ayu blurted with wide eyes once Megami was out of sight.
"What why?" Anna asked
"It's super rare for her to say what she's doing when machinery or magic is involved. She must care about you guys a lot."
"I'd hope she does! I didn't raise her to be an introvert!" Raku said resolutely.
"Well too bad she became one of the biggest introverts of Khel. I have no clue how she manages to keep such a desirable figure, Honestly." Ayumu replied as she got up. "I am going to check on Megami."

POV: Megami
"What is happening to me?!" Megami screamed at the god spirits as she bellowed in pain.
"Nao, Corey, Do something!" The God of Life, Saki ordered to the God of Energy and the God of Dark. They both shrunk backwards.
"Let them be Saki." A teenage boy's voice said.
"Reaper, what do you mean?" Saki said with clear provocation.
"I mean, She isn't going to die because she can't. Her soul... It is changing." He replied
"Fuck! I think It it's relieving." Megami growled.
How much time passed this time? A few days? Months? A year? God hope's it isn't a year.

Opens eyes.
'Wow. Putting an A.I copy of me in my brain was a good Idea. I wouldn't have been able to be here this quickly. I have record her in this amazing dress.'
"Now time to say vows-" Lee said.
"Time Freeze."
'A home wedding is a good choice. It seems not much happened while my soul was practically being torn apart and put back together. Only some light political conflict but nothing major.'
"Time Resume"
"-to each other. Ayumu Mikaribaba Maou please begin." Lee finished.
Ayumu looked at me with surprise for a second then smiled brightly.
"Megami Asutoraru Mahou, ever since I met you you have been nothing short of a relentless Comet that never slows down and guides me through each day. You are an eternal star and even if we stay here for months I still would keep talking so I will make this short. My Love for You is Eternal. My every motion, every thought is brought about by you. You brought me into this eternal story and I don't think I will ever be able to get out. You have broken the ropes that bound me and released my old self from my own restraints. I Love you and wish to give you everything I have for our trip through this troublesome multiverse called The journey of Life. I wish to remain partners through every life we live. Marryalis Morreirirolkim Mavirola."
"Megami Asutoraru Mahou. Please begin." Lee said with a smile.
I can feel my heart beating faster than it ever has. My god I didn't even know she felt This deeply about me. I guess I don't have to hold back.
"Ayumu Mikaribaba Maou. The moment I met you I was deeply attracted to you. I never thought it would last this long nor would it lead to marriage. At first I thought to exploit you, then I got to know you more and I wanted you as if you were an addicting drug. After you started to help me carry my emotional burden I didn't realize that you were excavating into my frozen heart that was locked in my own soul. You brought out parts of me that I didn't know existed and the ones I tried to hide. It made me want to do the same to you. It wove me into a better person and let be be who I am comfortably; Even if it is embarrassing for me. I found that letting you hold my heart is the best decision I've ever made. I have found Love in you and let my heart be found. Throughout every one of our future reincarnations I will love you for eternity. Even Gods and Absolute Beings will not stop me from Searching, Yearning, Wanting, Seeking, even Breaking Through what is possible just to be by your side. I Love you my Guiding Light. My Ayumu." I looked at her for a second and made my final decision.
"Forlrm Lois Zaril Eques."
We looked at each other and we both just knew. We were soulmates. We were bound by something even greater than fate could handle. We both knew what the other was thinking. All we have to do is say the words together.
"Bound by our souls together for eternity."
The air around us was starting to make winds.
"We walk this path by choice to remember our love that is undying"
The ground is shaking like there's an earthquake but there are no cracks. The air is hostile and can rip a normal person to shreds. We grab each others hands and hold on tight.
"Our souls shall be one for we understand each others core and we Love each other despite our disagreements, choices, and opinions."
The temperature is getting hot then cold so fast it could make someone explode. There is a pressure that is hard to describe. It's not forcing is down and more like trying to pressure every cell in our bodies while it's doing something else to us as well. It is exhausting but we won't stop. We both understand the Danger.
'I love Her too much to give up'
"Our will cannot be broken. Our souls outside truth, false, and in between. Our Life depends on the other. We find each other. We seek each other. We defy existence itself. Our true soul is released from it's hiding. I am eternal. I am nothing. We are eternal."
All elements have appeared. Everything that can affect us physically, spirituality, and mentally is trying to destroy us. We can die at any moment but fruits come from effort and we are relentless. I am pretty sure we are feeling every natural disaster right now. I can even see radiation.
"We are together forever and will not be separated by measly fate. WE ARE FATE. Our True Souls, Corporeal Being, Ephre, Affinity, Body, And Thoughts shall become one. I Love you more than I can express."
After a few days of withstanding the disasters we woke up naked in the wedding grounds. Everyone came to get us. I am so happy.

"Megami. Ayumu. You are both are insane." Mamoru stated clearly.
"Yeah. I know. I didn't realize it would have this kind of effect. Please Label this spell DEATH class. It means that the chances of death are nearly 1000%. Do not attempt-" Megami was about to put her hand on Mamoru's left shoulder when an arrow with a textured surface shot through Megami's head and stuck there.
It was as if time froze.
Megami didn't miss her chance and used Her personally made spell "Fainting Shadow" in the direction the arrow came. "Got... Em..." Megami fell to the ground
'I can hear their voice. Am I dying?'
"Love, please hold on. Don't die!"
"There's magic at work! This is a Demigod killing arrow! It's a wonder how she's conscious!"
'I don't think I have much time.' "Ayu... I... Love... U... Please... Family... Safe.. I'll see yo-... Agai-..." That was all I could say before I felt as if my sense of self wasn't there anymore.
Just...
I am too young to know I guess.
Is this what greets you after death?! Or is this rebirth?
It's terrifying.
AN*: I will now start adding fun facts about this book!
(FF: The AI in the watch Megami wears is actually all named after stars in the Orion Belt.)
