"Alongside her… and your Mother."

A frigid wave of ice swelled like the twisting of a whirlwind, cracking the pavement, wearing homes to dust as an insatiable bloodlust gathered.

"You'll answer my many questions, or everyone within the Godwoods will join me within the Ninth layer of Hell." Zariel coldly declared, his bloodlust halting all living creatures within the city, myself included. "Where is my mother's corpse."

My eyes widened: The Forsaken Q! Was that from our bloodline… No! Wait, Something is off. Corpse… Are. They. Using. Mothers. Corpse.

My gaze caring a light of the very Abyss, swayed to meet the smiling grin of the trickster, but the bastard was quick to fire a few words before I could.

"It's true I wanted your Mother's body… But I wasn't the one to take it. I've never lied to you. Why would I start now? I'd rather not bother answering your questions if I needed to hide something."

"M-M-My Lord." The songstress started with a rattle of fear withering the life from her bones. "W-w-" New chapters are published on Nov????lFire(.)nᴇt

"Studder once more, and your head will land on a pike. WERE!!!!" Zariel roared, his divinity losing its orderly grace, becoming twisted and chaotic like the Abyss.

"EDEN!!!!" She screamed, the strength in her legs fading as she collapsed to her knees. Tears streamed from her eyes as the pressure of a Fell God swallowed the Godwoods.

"That's enough, Young Master Snow." Said a graceful voice, cutting through the soul pressure of Zariel. Our eyes whirled towards the voice, towards the sight of a woman wrapped in the Moon's colors.

"It would seem my Aunt holds many secrets. I'd expect nothing less from her. They say the Moon carries many of the secrets held within the Darkness." Mephisto said, patting Zariels shoulder. " Come down. Or you'll miss your children grow up." He warned. " Last time you got like this, you nearly destroyed Tenebrae's kingdom. Nows, not the time for that monster to return."

I glanced at Zariel and shifted my gaze towards the woman, her face cloaked by a hood. And I drew closer.

"How does Luna relate to all of this?" I coldly asked. "And who are you?"

The Maiden bowed her head and curtsied. " Welcome, First Born. It's an honor." She said flatly. "And—"

"Answer. Or you'll see a slaughter unlike anything you've ever conceived." I glanced back at Zariel, the trembling of veins gathering near his jaw, and turned towards the Maiden. " No one can stop his power. If you know who we are. I'm sure you know what he's capable of."

"Of course. Forgive me." She replied, her tone unchanging.

And for some inexplicable reason… that bothered me. I could tell she wasn't like Zariel, Mephisto, or me. People who could wage a slaughter and not feel anything. And yet I felt nothing, not even with my Devil's Heart ability.

"Your Mother… when she first exited from Arcadia alongside the other Forsaken. It was she who cultivated here within these Godwoods. And it was where she met her majesty of the Moon." The Maiden said. "Through her power, her majesty was able to commence her first baptism."

"Baptism?" I looked at Mephisto, who shook his head. But his response could be a lie. I find it odd he doesn't know. But I don't know him. Everything Mephisto does seems like an Act. Even his kindness and coldness. I need to watch him closer. No. I can't let my pride overwhelm me on this. I need to relay such information to Zero. He's the only one who can analyze this man.

"I don't know much of the details regarding the baptism, but it was to appease your Mothers killing intent. That's quite similar to the young master over there."

"Hehe. You guys think I'm sneaky? Luna is the one who taught me everything I know." Mephisto said, startling us. "Back in heaven when I was weak. It was Tenebrae and Luna who cared for me and taught me everything. But it was Luna who cultivated my greatest talents. Who saw the deepest desire of my heart. Before Lunafreya's eye, nothing can escape."

The Maiden giggled. "That is correct. While her majesty is quite peaceful and considered to be weaker than Tenebrae and Mythra, her abilities of manipulation and information transcend past the Mryaid Heavens."

A/N: Luna was always my favorite Primordial. I just hate she came in so late.

"Luna… I owe her a disciple or at least a 'favor'….Just like..." My gaze turned back to Mephisto, who blushed a little shyly.

WTF!!!!

"Yeah… I may have gotten that from Aunty Luna." He wryly said, with a faint chuckle of embarrassment. "It's through her knowledge that Lucifer and I created the concept of a Devil's Deal."

"..."

I don't think I've ever met Luna.

"The Darkness devours, the Light blinds, and the Moon reflects." The Maiden continued. " She purified the Darkness within your Mother's heart. After the baptism, Luna granted Your Mother the name Yuki due to the unique color of her hair. No one truly knows her name. Not even those that entered the Myriad… I'm sure not even her clan remembers."

"That's…"

"Child," the Maiden said, cupping my cheek, revealing her pale blue eyes, swirling with a profundity I'd never thought possible. "Your blood is capable of rejecting all things. Forsaking your name is well within your rights. Your Mother rejected her existence, so her name faded from the minds of all but the One and the All."

"She was that strong?" Mephisto muttered in disbelief.

"She was without the greatest talent of the Forsaken Clans." The Maiden said. " You've already seen her disciple powers, have you not? Ishar?"

My jaw dropped. Even Mephisto appeared truly startled.

What did she just say?

"That's not possible. I would have noticed…." Zariel began and paused. "Is she her reincarnation—"

"No, at least not according to Her Majesty." The Maid interrupted. "We don't know the methods Lady Yuki used, but her Majesty believes that the bloodlust and killer instincts that were severed were given to Ishar, which developed into the creation of Blood Laws."

"Richter… did say she was a heartless killer." I recalled, "He seemed to carry great fear for her. But it's odd… But I think I know what happened. Back then. How Mother became injured to the point of death, and how our children factor into this mess. But… I'd like to confirm it with Luna. The one person who seems to know what really happened.
