In Death's Domine
In the ethereal realm of Death's Domain, Albedo and Yuri found themselves standing in a space reminiscent of the grandeur of Nazarick's throne room. Yet, there was a distinct absence of the familiar banners and insignia that adorned their beloved fortress.
The throne before them held a regal figure, an exquisitely beautiful woman whose striking appearance commanded attention. Her hair cascaded in contrasting hues, one side black as midnight, the other a pristine white. Scarlet eyes, sharp and piercing, regarded them with an intensity that sent shivers down their spines.
"Lady Albedo, where are we?" Yuri's voice broke the silence, her eyes darting around the unfamiliar surroundings with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.
Albedo, ever composed, took a moment to gather her thoughts before responding. "I'm not entirely certain, but Lord Alexander did mention that I would be meeting someone important to him," she replied, her gaze never wavering from the enigmatic figure on the throne. "From the looks of it, we are in the presence of that person."
As they approached the throne, the air seemed to crackle with anticipation, each step echoing in the vastness of Death's Domain. Albedo and Yuri exchanged a glance, a silent acknowledgment of the gravity of their situation.
"Welcome, Albedo, Yuri," the woman on the throne spoke, her voice carrying a weight that seemed to reverberate through the very fabric of the realm. "I have been expecting you."
Albedo inclined her head respectfully, a subtle gesture of acknowledgment towards the mysterious figure before them. It was a silent recognition of the person who played a pivotal role in bringing Lord Alexander into their lives.
"Forgive us, but we find ourselves at a loss. May I inquire as to who you are and why we have been brought here?" Albedo's voice was calm yet tinged with curiosity, her demeanor a reflection of her unwavering loyalty to her master.
The woman's scarlet eyes sparkled with amusement, a mischievous smile playing on her lips as she revealed her identity. "I am Death," she declared simply, her words carrying a weight that resonated through the chamber.
"Death? As in the entity Lord Alexander fought and defeated?" Albedo's surprise was palpable, her mind racing to comprehend the significance of their encounter with such a formidable being.
Death's smile widened, a hint of mischief dancing in her scarlet gaze. "Oh, yes, indeed," she confirmed, her tone laced with a touch of amusement. "The very same Death your dear master triumphed over, bullied."
Albedo exchanged a glance with Yuri, a silent acknowledgment passing between them as they absorbed the revelation. If Death was here before them, then there must be a reason beyond mere chance.
"And why have you summoned us here, Death?" Albedo inquired, her voice steady despite the uncertainty that lingered in her heart.
The enigmatic figure on the throne chuckled softly, her scarlet eyes glinting with amusement. "Ah, my dear Albedo, Yuri," she began, her tone carrying a sense of familiarity. "I have summoned you here to formally introduce myself."
Albedo's brow furrowed in confusion, her mind racing to comprehend the meaning behind Death's words. "Introduce yourself?" she repeated, a note of skepticism creeping into her voice.
"Yes, indeed," Death replied with a nod, her smile taking on a more solemn tone. "I am Alexander's lover, his first wife, his partner in bed."
"But you were, Lord Alexander's enemy," Albedo insisted, her voice tinged with disbelief. "He fought against you, triumphed over you."
Death's smile remained serene, her scarlet gaze unwavering as she addressed Albedo's concerns. "Enemy? No, my dear. I was never his enemy," she explained calmly. "I am Death, the inevitable end that awaits all living beings. But Alexander... he is different. He defied me, challenged my authority, and in doing so, he captured my heart."
Albedo's mind reeled at the revelation, her thoughts swirling with a mixture of confusion and awe. If Death was speaking the truth, then Lord Alexander's actions had been far more profound than she had ever imagined.
"But why summon us here now?" Yuri interjected, her voice echoing the curiosity that Albedo felt. "What purpose does this serve?"
Death's expression softened, a fondness shining in her scarlet eyes as she regarded the two guardians before her. "I have summoned you here to offer my blessings," she explained, her tone gentle yet resolute. "As Alexander's beloved, you are dear to me as well. And I wish to ensure your happiness and well-being as you continue to serve by his side."
Albedo and Yuri exchanged a glance, a silent understanding passing between them. If Death, the eternal mistress of endings, was offering her blessings, then it was a gift beyond measure.
"We are grateful for your kindness, Death," Albedo replied, her voice filled with sincerity. "We shall continue to serve Lord Alexander to the best of our abilities."
As Albedo uttered those words, the atmosphere around them shifted abruptly, and before they knew it, Albedo and Yuri found themselves in an open area bathed in soft light.
"Albedo, Yuri, come here," Death beckoned, gesturing towards a cozy setup with three cups of tea and pastries laid out before them.
"We've had a long day, so why don't we have a private girls' chat?" Death suggested with a warm smile, her demeanor far removed from the imposing presence they had previously experienced. She looked more like a teenage girl ready for a casual hangout rather than the embodiment of death.
Albedo and Yuri exchanged surprised glances, taken aback by the sudden change in Death's demeanor. But they couldn't deny the appeal of a relaxed conversation with this enigmatic figure.
"Of course, Death," Albedo replied, a hint of curiosity lacing her voice. "We would be honored to join you."
Yuri nodded in agreement, her usual stoic expression softening with a subtle smile. "Thank you for the invitation," she added politely.
Settling down around the makeshift tea table, the three of them began to chat about Alexander.
Death even shared some of Alexander's kinks. God knows, what Yuri and Albedo is going to do with that knowledge.
