Chapter 3 - Chapter 3, The deal

"You said we are to be wed" Erena's face became flushed with a perfect ruby red that had a slight coral

undertone, her head held high as her smile showed true understanding and nodding before shyly saying

"Yes". "Over my dead body" Siri yelled but erena didn't reply just stared at her confused "I do power

bottoms not submissive tops" Siri frowned, turning the tension between them to deteriorate rapidly in the

worst possible way. "At least they got the lesbian part right for once" I mumble, only for siri to glare at me

"Guess you've never had the pleasure of being bottom" Erena teases with a seductive tone causing shiver

to run down my spin as if i've heard something i shouldn't. Suddenly the mood suddenly changed once

more but this time it was replaced by a wave of sexual tension that could be cut by a knife. Before siri

could even reply to my remark Sal yelled "Who gives a fuck about that you idiots did you say we have to

go to fucking school". The sun finally came out from behind the cotton like clouds and caused a bright

warm yellow glow to flash and all of us to squeeze our eyes before adjusting to the light but before anyone

could speak the lights went out and darkness surrounded me. Darkness surrounded me making me

question if I was truly awake but without any warning a beautiful melody filled the air causing my ears to

ring and fill up with a bubble like sensation before bursting causing me to wince in pain. As I go to speak I

fall silent as if a sensation of calmness has suddenly rushed over me causing both my body and mind to

relax, as the wheels in my head started to turn it finally clicked this was no ordinary instrument no this

was the legendary Sipheon. As the melody continued to blare loudly into my ears causing a sensation to

ripple throughout my whole body leaving shivers to crawl down my spine like little spiders only to crawl

back up once again causing my whole body to shake from sheer disgust. A sipheon's melody is

bittersweet, almost intoxicating and entrancing, yet the volume that it makes is ever so loud as if it were

being played directly into my ears, to be fair i wouldn't be surprised if the whole kingdom could hear it

but i know only those its intended effect can hear it. As the melody continued my ears started to burn

before I felt a warm sensation start to pour onto my cheek causing the feeling of numbness to my ears and

leaving only a deafening to be heard. My mind starting to wander and lose focus as a smile spread across

my lips showing the image of being at an opera performance with only me where a trumpet, a flute and a

triangle were playing at the same time yet it wasn't, it was an illusion this sound was the sheer sound of

a Sipheon. Although earth's instruments were beautiful to the ear nothing was as amazing as my

homeland, as i tried to snap back to reality my head filled with questions. why was sipheon being

played?And with that my thoughts start to run wild,Where am I? Are Siri and Sal okay? Are we in

danger? Yet my mind wandered again causing me to forget once more. Without warning a play started to

play out as I narrated the story as if it turned into some type of entertainment. A sipheon appeared in the

middle of a stage. It was a round object covered in a gold like dust with a heart symbol in the middle with

flower-like decoration twisted with the pipe. My narration started in a clear and calm voice. "A sipheon is

one of the rarest of rare instruments known to our realm, only few were created in our world only to be

scattered throughout the kingdoms. It is such a rare instrument only those of great power are allowed to

hold them because its sweet melody can actually control atmosphere and affect one's rationality, you

could even turn your enemy into someone in love with you yet the sipheon has one condition to truthly

be allowed to use its power you must truly be in love with someone what an odd thing". "Yet the truth

was so much sadder than anyone knows, You see the sipheon was created as a pair by an angel and their

lover a Giant so they could communicate even when they were apart, a sipheon is not a loud instrument it

is actually silent and only loud to those it's intended for and can only be heard by them even if they are

worlds apart." As I spoke it stayed both calm and loud but this time more pitiful and sad yet in sync with

the story. A large figure stepped out and a small like one with gorgeous silver wings broke the siphon in

half as they sat on a hill. "The angel was so in love with the giant and gifted them such a beautifulinstrument to show their love but when the other giants found out they destroyed the angels lover

matching sipheon so the angel never got a reply, thinking their lover abandoned them they started a war

but when they found their lovers corpse they saw that there was a piece of the sipheon hanging around

their neck and finally understood that they were never betrayed and and because of this the angel made it

so that there would be 14 sipheon's made from the 14 broken pieces of the broken sipheon of their lover

and created 14 kingdoms and gave a sipheon to each ruler to stop any war or mis understandings or so the

legend goes". My narration continued in sheer anger as if I was the protagonist as the angel and giant

kissed when they parted and returned the angel blew on the instrument as she thought of her lover but

no sound back the scene changed showing the giant covered in bruises and another giant snapping his

neck with a loud crack. The angel then commanded angels to destroy giants and a war played out in the

form of shadow but she found her loved corpse seeing the instrument on rope around his neck she

understood breaking both their instruments into pieces and giving each species a part which created the

kingdoms. As a round of applause starts to be heard only for the play to stop and Pitch black to surround

my vision once more causing my sense to finally come back only briefly, " these are the effect of a sipheon"

i scream at myself as loudly as i can but not a sound comes out, i smile softly starting to feel at ease even

though this could be a life threatening situation. As the ringing in my ears slowly stops, A deep urkey

voice yells almost like they are on a speaker at full blast followed by the Siphoen's melody to stop abruptly

" You are in the presence of the king". And with that a bright white light flashed into my eyes causing me

to squint before my eyes could adjust to the brightness. My sight is a mess and I can only just make out

blur of things as if my eyes were a camera and out of focus. I can't see anything properly but that's the

least of my worries right now right? All I can make out is blobs of colors but it's still so blurry but I'm

certain there are blues, pinks, white, gold, and purple unless I've gone color blind. My eyes finally start to

adjust, as i blink repeatedly before my eyes finally go back to normal i take in my surroundings there are 4

walls that seem to be made of a marble like texture with the main color being a goldish paled white and

the cracked look seems to be a baby pink similar to an earth's quartz, looking down i see clouds with

purple light throughout it perhaps we are floating? Turning to the direction in front of me there's a small

staircase leading up to a chair which looks to be made of pure diamonds. "How comfortable could that

be" I mumble sarcastically before making direct eye contact with the old man who sits on the throne he

seemed unfazed with his long hair that reached past his shoulder and his beard seemed to sit perfectly in

his lap, His outfit was quite unique as it was a white loose fitting nightgown almost unheard of for a man

to wear let alone a king, his eyes vibrant blue almost glowing yet he seemed sad maybe even lonely or

maybe it was the dark circles that hang under his eyes as he hadn't slept in decades gave him such a

pitiful look. my eyes continued to wander shifting to his right and could you fucking believe it, a bright

smiled bitch stood ever so tall and pleased with herself like she planned this. If i were the old me,

confusion would have clouded my brain but i knew better i would never trust someone i just met not after

Sin. A rage started to boil inside me that i had long forgotten i could have as my thoughts ran wild "What

a lucky bitch if only i had my powers id fucking kill her" I muttered to myself before noticing a soft sigh

come from my right causing attention to shift towards the direction. My eyes were greeted with a

frowning Siri who stood only an arms length from me on my right but before I could say anything

"Everyone gets a fucking question but me" Sal roared as her toung twisted showing her emotions of anger

and discomfort as her eyes looked towards the old man she frowned showing off her boredom and

disgust. "Mind your manners you lowly being, you are in the presence of the great Arc King, The 5th ruler

of kingdom of the Arc, king Enin'' The urky voice yelled once more before a dark cloud of smoke

randomly appeared out of thin air in front of us like a scene out of a comic where you'd see a speech

bubble with poof. But this time when the cloud spoke a face appeared in it and it looked frightening and

unnatural in a way almost like it came straight out of a pyshco's dream and turned it into a fucking horrormovie, it's eyes hollowed with a gray tone to them with an undertone of pitch black no eyes just empty

eye sockets, Its grin crooked stained with the same gray but with a slight glow that hinders the edges, no

nose, no body, not even ears. Before anyone could reply a loud thump almost resembling a loud drum that

came from my right grabbing my attention and there was Siri kneeling on one knee with her right arm

across her chest and her hair covering her face messily as her head bowed. "Your Majesty" Siri yelled,

showing the utmost respect as if the man who sat on that chair in front of her was an important person or

had earned her respect but how could someone like him have her respect? He was weak. He could

probably break with the slightest of push, a single hit and he'd be dead even from someone who didn't

have powers anymore. My eyebrows furrowed and my mouth turned into a straight line causing my head

to cock itself to the right, as if the wheels in my head started to turn, probably causing a loading sign to

appear on my head before a loud click was heard inside my head. He's a king which siri respects so much

to not care about her ego and who Sal couldn't care less and even seemed bored by their presence. That

could lead to only one person…the man who betrayed my mother… the man i hated most in any

realm…Our father or should I say Sal and my sperm donor…. "My beautiful children, how you have all

grown so much, you couldn't fathom how I have missed you '' The old man spoke with sorrow laced with

regret with an act showing he was frail. What a disgusting act, how fucking hilarious he couldnt have

cared less about Sal or i when we were younger what makes him think we would care? He was nothing

more than an evil, cunning, vile bastard who cheated on his wife focused her to be marked only to forget

about her, sal and i only to bring home a mistress have a whole family, neglect and beat our mother then

kill her directly in front of her children on the day of life. We never got our apology instead we got

countless assassin attacks from this very man saying he missed us, this pathetic charade won't work on

me and I know it won't fool sal either. Especially after everything this bastard has done fuck him and fuck

this pathetic weak act hes trying to pull off and fuck that cunt Erena what a suck up i bet she's sucking on

his old mole rat looking dick fucking skank. How dare she drag us back here only to force us to see this

asshole, well fuck that if i ever get my hands on her ill strangle the life out of her. "Cut the bullshit" I roar

as I feel the anger that had started to finally simmer earlier start to boil in my bones for the first time in

centuries causing my blood to heat and my hands to turn to fist. My jaw started to clench hard causing

my teeth to grate against each other, before closing my eyes and taking a deep breath and unclenching my

hands and looking straight into the old man's sad eyes causing my anger to seith more, how dare he look

at me like that how dare he even have the guts to look at me at all, ill cut his fucking eyes out. "Why are

we here you majesty? '' Siri finally yells maybe trying to stop my outburst but who cares she's only making

my fuse want to blow more by acting like her basic lapdog self, she stayed on the ground kneeling but the

only difference is her head is now facing straight at the old man waiting for an order to be given and i bet

she'd agree to anything like a fucking mutt. "I believe Erena has told you why I have summoned you, my

children back home" The old man said with a wry smile making my stomach turn and a snicker to leave

my lips as my arms finally folded on top of my chest causing me to look up to the ceiling that seemed to

have a portrait of my deceased mother with sal on her left and i on her right all of us smilling brightly

wearing flower crowns., fuck this bastard as i turn my gaze back to him with a glare. His eyes looped as if

he were trying to study me as his mouth opened only to shut it and nod before saying " You 3 have long

past your banishment to the realm of earth, the elders and I were quite shocked when we found out you

kept denying our request to return through the centuries ''. Without waiting for a reply he continued "I

hereby announce Iris, Atlas and Sanniva Greynai the princesses of the Arc kingdom banishment to end

and for your powers to be reinstated and titles' ' The old man smiled almost proud of himself. "That's nice

but no one gives a fuck and i for one didnt concent so get of your fucking high horse open a portal and ill

be on my merry way" Sal yelled with venom attached in her tone made me want to smile turing my head

slightly in her direction and give her a nod to show im always on her side than looking back and regainingmy death stare i yell "I second that''. "Your Majesty, please send us back to the realm called earth. We have

long since gotten used to their ways and it would only lead to your disgrace if we were to stay" Siri smiled

before looking back to the ground to show complete submission which was the opposite to what she was

saying, what a fucking yes man. "What a fucking suck up you are both back than and now" Sal snorted as

she through her head up and than probably seeing the portrait of mother "AAAAAhhhhhh fuck it" Sal

screamed as she brought her attention back and look at the old man once more her anger rang with ever

word she spat "What's in it for us" with a statue like facial expression a face that showed no emotions.

"You rude brat" The smoke cloud yelled "I will not repeat myself asshole '' Sal yelled but this time there

wasn't an ounce or surrender in her tone or her stance and that showed her clear determination. "You are

allowed to stay here and no longer be a criminal" The old man spoke with shock, causing laughter to leave

my lips and a weak smile to spread on my face "Your majesty, you have already declared that we are no

longer criminals and we haven't been since 15 eons ago" Siri voice trembled as if she were trying to defy

him leaving me speechless. "Child get off the floor" The old man spoke as he raised his left hand into the

air only to effortlessly wave not evening, taking a single glance at her showing how insignificant she was

in his eyes. Without a second of delay Siri stood tall without and once of hesitation showing her undying

loyalty to the man but then her eyes glazed as if they were screaming this is the last time i will be looked

down upon. "Father-in-law, I think what sister-in-law's are trying to say is that it's not a fair deal" Erena

finally spoke in a mouse-like voice ever so pitifully "Enough i know what my children meant you

powerless fool" the old man roared causing Erena to bow her head in submission. "What is it you

demand?" The old man spoke as his eyebrow twitched showing slight hesitation, causing Sal to smile

wickedly. "3 things is all that we ask for your highness, they're truly not that hard for such a wise and

powerful ruler such as yourself'' Sal smiled a smile that even the devils of hell would be scared of. "That i

am so i shall grant your wishes just name what you wish and i will grant it" the old man smiled as he

laughed with so much pride and joy as his ego inflated as if he were pleased that sal was relying on him.

" I am a king so i can not do it for free, in return i wish for You all to attend school while you are there you

must keep an eye out for any trouble since there are rumors that the Deathly brother are gaining more

power than us and we can not have that happen and lastly Erena and Iiris are to wed to show we are still

in power both in the business world and underworld'' the old man spoke shadowed by his own greed. "A

blood pact must be made after all you've never once kept your word" Sal shrugged and The old man's face

went from white to gray almost as if he'd seen the grim reaper and death had already come for him.
