What am i to you ?

"Shalltear, what am i to you ?"

"One of the most beautifull in existence. Jewels and pearls couldn't compare to your white body." That was a spontaneous response, although why not the most beautifull, who else could compare ? Weirdly, he felt a gaze on him, well as weird as a skill can be.

"Cocytus."

"A being stronger than any guardian and deserving of ruling the Great Tomb of Nazarick."

"Aura."

"A caring and forgiving master."

"Mare."

"A... Very kind master!"

"Demiurge."

"A master who can take wise decisions and has the power to act. The word unfathomable suits you perfectly."

"Sebas."

"A liege who ruled over the suprem beings and never left us behind."

"Falthène."

"..."

"Falthène."

The fairy jerked, deep in thought, expecting to be called last, but it makes sense in a way. Albedo is the regeant of all guardians after all. Even if it didn't sits right with him.

"You are a being that has no need to be considerate of your lowly servants, this reunion in itself is something you could have told us via [Message] without bothering yourself to come in the upper layers. Yet here you are, before any of us could come, talking and listening to us, adapting yourself to us, listening to our thoughts on you with underserving attention. To me, it seems you are putting a lot of effort into the gathering of what a perfect leader for us would be, and in doing so, your heart blinds me by it's kindness. You are the pinacle of the meaning behind human, as human-centric this world is."

Nods coming from the twins, who were the first to experimente the kind nature of their lord with the fairy, and a stare plunged in thought from the demon, amazed that the drowned could pick up on all of this when he didn't, or rather managed to put it into words and speak them. It took a bit longer than the other, but after all, using words to explain the unexplainable was what Falthène was the best at. Amongst other things.

"Albedo."

"To me, you are the highest supreme being that we worship, and our greatest master. And, finally, my dear beloved."

"I see. I have now a clear vision of your opinion of me. I can also see that my trust is well placed within you, and that i can rely on you as i once did my comrades. Apply yourself to your duty."

As the silence began to form, the lord of the tomb teleported away, leaving the guardians behind. As soon as he did, the pressure weighting them down evaporated. Even if they realised that their master left, none dared to move, until one of them sighed of relief, finaly breaking the atmosphere of solemn devotion. As often, Albedo was the first one to rise up, dusting herself with her wings, before everyone followed - except two - and commentated on this crazy reunion.

"That was... Really scary. Right Aura ?"

"You tell me. I thought i was gonna be crushed."

"What strenght ! His power even had effect on us guardians..."

"As he is a suprem being, i always knew he was stronger than all of us. But not to that extent."

Their chatting was lighthearted, but anybody could tell that Momonga left a very strong impression on them.

"I apologize, but i better leave. I do not know where lord Momonga went, but i better be at his side."

"Very well, Sebas. Go serve our liege. I'd go with you too, but i have orders... However, if he call for me to his chambers, please suggest that he leaves me a little moment to prepa-"

The butler cut straight through albedo's lustfilled rambling. "I'll be sure to. Good day to you." Bowed, and leftin the same motion.

"Speaking of..." Started Demiurge. "I find you oddly calm Shalltear. Is everything alright ?"

"F-Falthène, why are you still kneeling too ?"

As i said, they were the two exception that didn't stop their prosternation. The pure vampire raised her head at this call, blushing and with a perverted expression on her beautifull face. "Well... This aura of our lord was so magnificient... I couldn't hold myself anymore..."

An awkward silence grew between the guardians, who were staring at one another, not knowing what to say, with some exceptions. For example, Mare, who was more worried about Falthène who was jerking around a bit, with a noise sounding like... Granite ?

"There !" He suddently raised himself up, holding a sketchbook in one hand and a granite pen in the other.

"Oowaaa !" The poor elf falled on his behind, scared our of his mind at the sudden jump, like the fairy was a jack-in-the-box.

"Oh, sorry Mare. But look everyone !" He presented his sketch in front of him, a certain curiosity overtaking the closest guardians, then awe, and not before long, the two women were battling to get a closer look - or to touch the paper with their eyes, matter of perspective - at the sketch. On it was a rendition of this reunion, from behind the guardians, perfectly aligned in a way that made it seems like a photo was taken from a meter behind Albedo, with each guardian symmetrecally aligned behind the regeant on the first plan, making the false angel part of the second, and in the third, in an inhumain amount of detail, almost more faithfull to reality than a picture, was Momonga, standing above them all in all it's glory. Don't be wrong, each guardian on this drawing were done with a level of detail that would make each of them their own seperate pieces of art, but it was easy to guess who inspired Falthène the most in this sketch.

Although it went unnoticed compared to the beauty with wich he drew their master, another person had a lot of care put in their representation, making their ponytail vibrant as if made with strand of silver.

"This is art ! Beautifull ! We should hang it ! I should hang it in my room so i can pray to it every time i see it !"

"Huuh ?! And why should you have it ! It would be infinitely better placed in my room, my vampire brides will take care of it as if their lives depends on it - wich it will!"

"Shut up you whore, you're not even able to take care of your own clothing without making a mess, it would be lost on you !"

"What did you just say you big mouthed gorilla ?!"

"Are you deaf now, lamprey ?"

Quickly, the fairy took a few steps back, not wanting anything to do with those two fighting.

"Well, we let you put an end to this, Aura. This seems to be a matter only another woman can deal with." Demiurge proposed, let's say that the red-hair was all the more to it.

"Huh ?! You are gonna leave me with them ?!" But the men already were a bit farther, far from the war zone.

"So, Falthène, what are you gonna do with this ?" asked the demon, clearly desiring it too, but civilised enough to let it's creator decided it's faith. Although both Cocytus and Mare also wanted to hear the answer.

"First i'm gonna finish it. Then i'll ask Titus to make duplicates of it, gift the original to lord Momonga, and hand a copy to all of you." Yes, this sounded good, and hearing the satisfied sight of the three guardians, he was conviced that this was the best way to proceed.
