Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Becoming a Mother

Eden: It can't be true...

Iss: I understand that you're confused. There is an explanation for that

Eden: This cannot be true... My mother died several years ago

Iss: I know you're confused. And that's my fault

Eden: What are you talking about?

Iss: Now you'll understand

*Iss points the palm of his hand towards Eden's forehead*

ISS: Lock

*A Star of David appears on Eden's forehead and it breaks*

*Hundreds of images begin to reach Eden's brain directly*

*Eden begins to suffer an intense headache as images of his past begin to run through his mind*

Unknown voice: Look Eden, they're your grandparents

Unknown voice: Meet your brother, Zero

Unknown voice: I'm sorry Eden, in the future you'll understand

Unknown voice: Eden!

Unknown voice: Little brother, I'm sorry...

*Eden's loud screams in the past are shown as darkness absorbs him*

Eden: *Very confused* What does this mean?

Iss: Everything you just saw. That's you, that's the real Eden Yomi...

Eden: Why? Why didn't he remember any of this? Why are my memories now fake? Why? What is all this?

Iss: I'm sorry, I had to. If I didn't block your memories, both you and the old man would be in danger

Eden: Why? Who at Zero? A brother? Why didn't I know about this? Why?! If you're supposed to be my mother, give me an answer Why?!

Iss: Okay... I will. When you were born, I was persecuted by my people, since having a relationship in the camp of Artemis was a sin, let alone getting pregnant. At first, I didn't want to have you since you are the fruit of the abuse of a god, but one day I thought that you were not to blame for that. So, I escaped from the place I called home, until I finally arrived in the human world, where I met Gen and his wife, who welcomed me as if I were their own daughter. But one day they appeared

*Flashback*

*11 hooded men are shown*

Iss: Damn you, who are you?

Unknown 20: I'm sorry to introduce myself in this brusque way, I'm the leader of Black Lights and we want you to join our ranks

*Back to the present*

Iss: They promised that if I joined their ranks, they would let them start, but that situation changed since December 10, when your power woke up

*Flashback*

Iss: What did you say?!

Stranger 20: Just as you heard, we'll be going to capture your son in a while

Iss: Damn bastard, that's not what you promised

*A stranger brings his knife to Iss's neck*

Unknown: Don't talk to the boss like that, understand?

Iss: If the boss wasn't here, I would have killed you a long time ago

Unknown: What did you say?

Unknown 20: Come on, calm down, both of you. Iss the prophecy says that a child conceived after the Great War, of a god and a human, will be the one who rules the new world. They are the words of our creator, and we will respect them

Iss: And how are you sure it's Eden? Many demigods were born after the Great War

Unknown 20: In the writings of our Lord there are more specifications that match Him. But you're lucky, he'll come to see us sooner than you expect, when he comes, we'll give him the place he deserves, as the god of our new world

Iss: Damn...

*Back to the present*

Iss: After that, I spent many months looking for a way to get to you without them intervening, but it was impossible, so I had to resort to their help. So, I realized that the only way for you to be safe is to be on our side

Eden: *Think* Is my father a god? Does Black Lights want to capture me? The god of a new world? What the hell is he talking about?

Iss: I understand that you're very confused now, because there are a lot of things you have to process, but trust me, son. If you join us, you can be happy again

Eden: The grandfather...

*Iss's lamenting face shown*

Iss: Yes, I know...

Eden: Captured by two members of Black Lights

*Iss surprised face shown*

Iss: How did you say?

Eden: I'll join Black Lights on one condition, if I'm allowed to get my grandfather back

Eden: *Think* I'm sorry Shun, I'm sorry Sara, Shu, Violet, Aphrodite. But I have to get my grandfather back at all costs no matter

Iss: *Think* Was Gen captured? Why didn't I know?

Hela: She's a liar...

Eden: Teacher!

Iss: Wow, so you're still alive

Hela: Eden, don't believe anything she says. She only seeks her benefit

Iss: Shut Up

*A flame engulfs Hela and begins to burn her*

Eden: Hela!

Eden: *Think* What should I do? She is my only clue to get to my grandfather. If I don't join her, I may not have any more clues about my grandfather. What do I do?

*A great darkness envelops the whole place*

Eden: What?

Loki: Hey, hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?

*Flames in Hela disintegrate*

*Loki faces Iss and looks at her with contempt*

Loki: You're lucky my daughter isn't that weak, but if you put a finger on her again, I'm promising to kill you

Iss: *Draw his sword slowly* Do you really think you can?

*Loki grabs Iss's sword and his neck at the same time*

Loki: I don't think so, I know

Iss: I was just playing, there's no need to get upset

Loki: That's what I thought...

*Loki lets Iss loose*

Loki: So, you're the famous Eden Yomi, it's a pleasure to meet you

Eden: *Think* This energy is familiar to me... no way... He was there...
