Right as we stepped into the gates for the fortress city, two peculiar characters were waiting for us in there. I don't know when they arrived in Grand Terra, or why? Did they came just to help me out? And if so, wow, they're really lovely.

However, did they had to just show up right out of nowhere? I was expecting a more glorious meeting, in the middle of a throne room, dramatic and all, but they were here just pretending to be normal people when those two are almost at the same level as a Universal Ruler when they merge together.

Seriously…

"You two are right here?! I thought we were meeting inside!" I said in surprise. "Also yeah, I'm happy to meet you two! You've grown so much since the last time I meet you, especially Ervas! And Veronica, you're gorgeous."

"Hahah, yeah a lot happened." Ervas smiled. It seems that in this time I haven't seen them, he had changed a lot. He was now more sincere with his emotions, could laugh and smile carefreely. Much different than the original, gloomy-looking boy.

In fact, he wasn't even a young boy anymore, he looked to be slightly older than Frank, charming and handsome, with long white hair, and spiraling golden horns protruding from each side of his head. He even had a long, silvery-white wolf-like tail, and ears too. His eyes were shining bright red, the same as his sister and original other half, Veronica.

"Well, yeah! More or less! Ervas here is the one that has changed the most." Veronica giggled. "Anyways, we came here not without a few restrictions, back in our Universe we are like protectors, we're keeping things in check, so we could only send a fragment of our souls here. We aren't as strong as before, but I hope we can still be of some use."

Her long red hair, pale white skin, almost slightly transparent, and her entire body covered in a sexy black and red armor quickly gave away without a doubt that this was Veronica. Although now, she also had long sharp metallic horns growing from her forehead.

Both possessed tremendously strong Auras, and even if they were merely the Fragments of their Original Souls, I could tell they were still connected to them, and were pretty much just an extension of their greater selves.

After all, they replaced Samsara in our Universe, a powerful God that was controlling the wheel of reincarnation and souls all across the universe, someone that was so powerful he was aiming to become a fourth Primordial.

"I guess so, but why did you guys just showed up in front of me?" I sighed. "And thanks for everything- not like I asked for help though."

"Oh, we sensed your presence and decided to come and greet you directly." Ervas said. "Sorry, did you wanted us to have some sort of special meeting?"

"I understand how you feel but we just wanted to see you as soon as possible- Oh! Aurora, come here already, stop hiding!" Veronica sighed, suddenly expanding her own phantasmal soul and shadows fused together out of her body and dragging a beautiful fairy from within.

She looked a lot like me, though much less "evil-like" and much more pure and innocent. It was without a doubt the little clone I had left for Ervas as a Familiar. I had learned she became a being of her own, but I didn't expect her to evolve so differently from my own appearance.

Unlike me, she had a pale white skin, sorrowful-looking blue eyes with stars within, long, deer-like horns of blue color, seemingly made out of a material similar to jewels, and she had long, neon blue hair growing to her hips.

Her fairy-like wings were different too, blue and with stars and nebulas as patterns, she looked stunning, even more in that blue dress she was wearing.

"N-Nice to meet you, Kireina…" She said while blushing a bit. "It is a bit awkward, I know…"

"Huh? Why would it be, Aurora?" I wondered, tilting my head.

"A-Ah, I thought you would feel strange looking at me after I've become my own being…" She said. "You aren't?"

"Sigh… Girl, why would I? You're like… Well, let's say we're sisters now, okay?" I giggled. "I made you, but I don't really feel like I'm your mother, isn't it? So let's go with sisters, and you're my little, cute sister~" I gave her a head pat.

"Hahh~ I guess that's alright for me." Aurora giggled, gaining some more confidence with herself. "Anyways, standing here in the middle of a bunch of creeps glaring at our bodies is not the best thing, let's go inside. The Human Empress, the Elf King, and the Dwarf King are waiting for us there."

"Oooh! Papa's here?" Elfina said happily. "Also Kireina are you not going to introduce to us your friends?"

"Are these Ervas and Veronica you talked about, mom?" Amiphossia wondered.

"They must be, they look a bit like freaks to me." Ryo nodded.

"H-Hey brat! Who are you calling freak?!" Veronica said angrily. "Is this your kid, Kireina?"

"Yeah." I smiled, laughing a bit. "Forgive him, he's just built different."

"That's not a good excuse!" Veronica sighed. "Hahaha, well, whatever. We are kind of freaky, but you guys are bringing everyone's attention around, heh."

"Veronica stop wasting time, let's go inside now." Ervas sighed. "Sorry, we've gone through a lot yet she's still the same as ever."

"It's fine, I like her that way anyways." I giggled.

"You like me?!" Veronica blushed. "H-Hey, I am not available for now, I've got a huge family!"

"Stop messing around…" Aurora sighed.

"Hahaha, these friends of yours are sure fun- Wait a second, Ervas and Veronica…?" Frank was left surprised. "Oh, now I remember you guys…"

"Oh my, Frank!" Veronica giggled, hugging him. "So this is where you had landed! Good thing we came for your rescue and Kireina's."

"Hello Frank , long time no see." Ervas smiled. "How's your family?"

"Alright." Frank shrugged. "I left enough of my powers with them that they should be handling things just fine but now… I am guessing you're not just here to help us out, aren't you?"

"Indeed, there's a lot to talk, let's go." Ervas nodded.
