Once I finish going over how I got the Ruins from the government, Ayashi turns to me.

"Why did you bring her here?" Asami asks, referring to Ayashi. Before I can explain my Gramps stands up.

"I think we should be going." He says while looking from Kagyama to Kallen. The two nod and stand up. I'm glad that they do, since I'm not sure if Ayashi would be fine with them knowing. Asami stands up and takes them back. While she does that I return to the Guildhall to find Ayashi. I did see Gaia try to get Verona to leave, but she wouldn't budge. I find Ayashi sitting at the table drinking some soda. I don't know where she got the soda from, but I assume she had it stored away.

"Sorry for leaving like that Eric. But I didn't know who they were, and I didn't want to break anything if they tried to fight me." Ayashi says upon seeing me.

"It's fine, I didn't know they were there myself. But they wouldn't have attacked you. At least I don't think." I say and she smiles. "But they've left, so are you ready to go back? Oh, Verona and Gaia are still there though." I say and she nods.

"That's fine. She already knows of me, so there's not much point in trying to hide from her. Besides, she could provide some good ideas for the village, if I can trust her to see it that is." Ayashi says while standing up. I take her hand and we return to my Domain. Asami's back and looks like she was waiting for us. Ayashi makes sure the others are gone before looking around again. Verona's eye starts sparking brighter now. However, she remains silent and doesn't do anything yet.

"Welcome back Ayashi." Asami says politely. She motions to a chair at the table as I sit down.

"You've gone and brought another woman here?" Liz says with a cheeky smile.

"It's not like that Liz." I say with a groan. She chuckles before turning to Ayashi.

"Well it's nice to meet you miss, my name's Elizabeth but I prefer to go by Liz." Liz says while reaching out to shake Ayashis hand.

"Nice to meet you too Liz. I take it Eric hasn't told you girls why I'm here?" Ayashi asks while shaking her hand.

"No, but Liz is the only one who doesn't know who you are. Asami shared some of my memories about you with Verona and Gaia. But they don't know about our fight or anything after." I say causing Both Asami and Verona to get up.

"You fought already!?" They each nearly shout, Verona sounds eager and excited while Asami sounds upset and worried. Liz looks at them both confused before turning to me.

"Eric, I can see her mana so I know she's tough. But she isn't a God, so what exactly is she?" Liz asks.

"I'm a Mythos." Ayashi says causing the others to cover their ears and wince from pain. "Sorry, I forgot about that. I'm the same race as Eric is. But technically he's a half, due to his Devil side." She explains and Liz goes wide-eyed.

"I thought Eric was the only one?" Liz asks and Ayashi shakes her head no.

"No, but we are the only two currently. I came here to introduce myself since Eric's going to help me remake the village we used to live in. Then I can start making more." Ayashi explains causing Verona's eye to sparkle brightly.

"How do you make more?" Verona asks excitedly.

"My village exists around the Primal Source. This is where all magic comes from, I hope Eric told you this. But the mana exists in the water under the tree. If a Lyna drinks the water, and if the Primal Source approves of them, then they become a member of our race. In fact, all children have to drink the water to awaken the abilities we get. If they aren't approved then they won't become one. In fact, I believe you Gods are awakened in a similar manner." Ayashi says causing Verona's eye to glow so bright it looks like the sun. She takes a moment to make it go back to normal.

"Go on." Verona says, holding back a barrage of questions while her eye flickers from various levels of brightness.

"Well, you heard a voice right? When you became a Goddess? I believe this was Prisma, he's the Primal Source. I believe he contacts you before **** and gives you a choice to ascend." Ayashi explains causing me to remember something.

"Oh yeah! Now that you mention it, I do remember Prisma saying he creates Gods and Goddesses. He does so by marking you with a kind of tracker. Then when you get close to dying he asks if you want to ascend. Also, Dark Gods are those who changed and became, well evil after gaining these powers." I add causing Verona to look at me.

"How long have you known this!?" She asks loudly.

"A while? I couldn't tell you sooner without telling you about Prisma." I say defensively. I hear Gaia and Asami laugh while Verona glares at me.

"What else did he tell you?" She asks and I sigh.

"Well, Dungeons are created by him, and so are monsters. But he doesn't do it consciously. It's his mana that creates them when they deem it necessary. I'm not sure what the reasons for doing so are though." I explain and she nods. Verona takes a notebook out of the air and starts writing something down.

"So Ayashi, have you decided on the village's layout?" Asami asks and Ayashi nods.

"Yes, I'm planning on keeping it the same as it was. Most of the foundations still stand from the destroyed houses, so It'll be easier this way." Ayashi replies.
