"Did you get your wish?" Lillith asked Aurea who was sitting on the sofa in front of her.
"I did, it's nothing much though. Do you want to hear what my wish is?" Aurea replied as she lifted her head and looked at Lillith with her eyebrows raised. "Come here. I'm going to whisper it to you," Aurea said with a suspicious smile.
Lillith leaned her head forward toward Aurea's mouth. She then focused on listening to what Aurea was about to say. Her face suddenly turned red, and she was flustered as she looked at Aurea in disbelief because that was something really trivial.
Rozan and the others were curious as to what Lillith heard, but Lillith only whispered the answer to Nagy and Edith. The two of them made the same exact reaction as her, and they cleared their throats as they looked at Mykel shyly.
Gerrard and Gunnar looked at them with their eyebrows raised, but Lillith, Nagy, and Edith shook their heads repeatedly."I have been away for a week, there must be something you guys want, right? Just tell me what is it and I'll grant it to you," Mykel said as he looked at them all.
Although they were given a week to think, they couldn't find a perfect wish to ask. They knew it could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so they didn't want to blow it up and ask for something that they might regret. They had so many in mind, but they couldn't decide which they wanted the most.
They were looking at each other and hoped that someone could ask something to Mykel. Knowing none of them wanted to start it, Rozan then raised his hand as he stared at Mykel.
"Is this wish valid only for this moment, or we can ask it later once we know what we want?" Rozan asked.
"Of course, you can tell me what you want whenever you want. There's no due date for the wish since I'm telling you that I will give you one wish to grant. I'm not like the other Constellations who only grant you a wish inside the tower," Mykel answered as he poured the vodka into the glass. "It looks like you guys still don't know what you want. I'll save it for later then," Mykel grabbed the glass and took a shot.
Everyone sighed in relief since they thought the wish was only valid for that moment.
"Do you want to go visit Folkvangr, Sven?" Mykel asked."Can I?" Sven's face brightened when he heard that.
"We are on a break, you can stay there since you have no place to go to, right?" Mykel replied. "What about you two? Do you want to go there as well?" Mykel asked Gunnar and Vincze.
"That wouldn't be a bad idea since I miss Folkvangr, and maybe we can visit different worlds in the Yggdrasil Tree," Vincze answered as he looked at Sven and Gunnar.
Since Gunnar didn't have anywhere else to go as well, and Enma was inside the Lucifer Tower, he didn't have anyone to see. He agreed with Vincze and decided to join in as well because he wanted to test how strong he had become.
"Oh, isn't that the place where those winged women knights came from? I want to go there as well," Aurea said as she looked at Sven.
"What about you guys? Do you want to go there as well? There are so many worlds in the Yggdrasil Tree. There's a world where Elves lives, and they're master in marksmanship, daggers, and herbs. If you're interested, I can bring you there," Mykel explained as he looked at Gerrard, Nagy, Lillith, and Edith.
Nagy and Gerrard looked interested in the offer, and they might learn a lot of stuff there. They decided to join as well while Lillith didn't need a reason to go as long as Aurea was there, she would come.
"I'm going to stay, Mister Mykel. I have my daughters waiting for me at home, so I can't leave them again," Edith answered.
"You can bring your daughters if you want. It's a vacation after all, and I bet they would love it there," Mykel offered with a gentle smile. "It's only a three weeks vacation, so why don't use it and explore the worlds of Gods?" Mykel asked.
Edith was thinking about it, but the others were persuading her until she couldn't say no to the offer. Mykel then sent everyone to Folkvangr except for Edith since she needed to bring her daughters first.
"I'll escort you to your apartment, come," Mykel said as he stood up.
Edith nodded with understanding and followed Mykel from behind. He couldn't use [Warp Space] since he had never been into Edith's apartment. Since her apartment was only a few blocks away from the suite, they decided to walk there.
"Is there a reason why you're escorting me, Mister Mykel?" Edith asked as she walked on the sidewalk with Mykel. She was surprised that nobody recognized them, but she knew that Mykel might make them invisible.
"The second vision that you had, do you remember what I did?" Mykel asked.
Edith was a bit surprised and remembered that he emblazed the whole city. He killed all the lives with the snap of a finger after he apologized for what he was about to do.
"Yes," Edith answered and she looked a bit worried.
"Then you should know that I will kill everyone here, and not just here, but I'll burn the whole Earth and kill innocent lives. Awakeners might survive, and they're going to join hands with Asmond to kill us all. That's why I want your daughters to get used to living in a different world," Mykel answered as he entered the apartment. "I'm not heartless enough to kill your daughters since you have been a great help to me," Mykel continued.
"What about the others? Isn't Lillith still have her mother here? I think everyone still has their parents alive," Edith asked.
"They're going to live in the Empyrean World. I don't think there's a better world than that. They have become adults, and they didn't really have any affection toward their parents. On the other hand, since you still want to see your daughters grow, they're a different case than yours," Mykel answered.
Edith couldn't argue with that since it was exactly what she wanted. To protect her daughters from harm so they could grow old and live happily without having to worry about demons.
"Even if it sounds heartless, that's something that I will bear myself. You don't have to think about me or them. Just focus on your daughters, Edith," Mykel pointed out.
Edith hummed with understanding.
Merlin was surprised to see Mykel, and she greeted him with a huge smile on her face. She decided to play with Mykel while Edith prepared their clothing for three weeks of vacation.
"We are good to go, Mister Mykel," Edith said as she carried two big suitcases in her hands.
"Alright, let's go," Mykel said and warped them all to Folkvangr.
"Finally, you guys are here. Oh?" Aurea looked at Edith with her daughters.
Gerrard and Gunnar were close to Merlin since they both often picked Edith up from her apartment. Mykel then told them that he had to pick Elena and Jeanne since Elena might sulk again if she didn't join him.
They all nodded their heads and watched Mykel leave. Sven, Vincze, and Gunnar became their tour guides since they knew almost every place in Folkvangr. The Valkyries welcomed them since everyone from Mykel's team was their honored guest.
Aurea was walking on the far back on her own as she watched the Valkyries train up high in the sky. They were sparring like they were fighting to the death. It was beautiful and terrifying at the same time, and she wanted to butt in, but she would rather fight all of them at once.
While she was walking she felt a breeze of wind hit her nape, and when she glanced over her shoulders she saw Brunhild walking behind her. She raised her eyebrows as she turned around and watched Sigrid, Rangrid, and Kara land right behind Brunhild.
"Would you like to have a battle against us? Your eyes for blood are really strong," Brunhild asked.
Aurea smirked and crossed her arms, "I never thought I would be welcomed like this. I really like it."
