God Hunter

Chapter 28: Divine View

Re was in her room looking through the mock mansion window when she heard a knock at the door.

"Come in!" she called.

Aurbis opened the door. Re glanced at him but then looked back out the window where she saw Tyren and Skylah playing in the fake version of their backyard. They were chasing each other around a tree. Re kept a hand on her stomach.

"What brings you here Aurbis?" Re asked.

"I thought I would inform you of something important," he replied.

"And what would that be?"

"Your daughter has collected all of Tomoe's weapons."

Re just simply stared out the window.

"I see," Re looked down "I had hoped for a peaceful life for all of my children. I wish Illya had no need to become a warrior. To see my own brothers and sisters willing to sacrifice their own nieces and nephews is...disheartening. I wish you had not stopped me Aurbis."

The moon God remained silent.

"Even so. Despite everything you have done Aurbis. I forgive you."

He opened his eyes, wide with surprise. He remained quiet. The sun was now setting. Tyren and Skylah ran back inside the mansion.

"Now if you would please leave Aurbis. I must retire to bed."

"Very well sister."

A Servant then burst into the room.

"Lord Aurbis! Lord Saytarus as departed to the mortal realm with a large force!" the Servant spoke.

"What?! That fool!"

Re looked down. She frowned.

An hour before

Saytarus had gone to see Izami and Mizami. The creator deities were meditating like before, holding their hands with a black orb above.

"Mother. Father. It appears Illya has obtained the last weapon of Tomoe Gozen. Please, allow me to depart at once," Saytarus said while bowing.

The two Gods opened their eyes.

"You would go behind the back of your brother?" said Izami.

"I am coming to you directly. With your blessing there is nothing he can do to stop me."

Mizami kept a fan in front of her face.

"I do not see why not," said Mizami.

"Aurbis has been speaking with Re. Too much. We believe she is impacting his thoughts," said Izami.

"All the more reason to have me in charge. I would have persisted until she was taken at the first battle!" said Saytarus.

"We know he will come back to us. Remember your place," said Mizami.

Saytarus scowled.

"However, if you believe yourself to be better than Aurbis, you will have to prove it. If you capture our granddaughter and kill the remaining mortals and bastards, then you will have proven yourself superior," said Izami.

Saytarus then grinned.

"Thank you, mother and father. I will prove that I was the right choice."

Later.

Servants began raining down from the sky onto the steppe. Each Servant was mounted upon a Pegasus. Saytarus pointed forward, leading the charge across the steppe towards the shrie of Khutulun.

Roven and Crow swiftly ran back to the tent city.

"Everyone! The Divine is coming!" the twins yelled.

People came out of their tents to hear the commotion. Khaliun was tending to her horse when she the twins call out. Soon Roven and Crow were back at the vehicle. The team was all there sitting around, eating cookies, and talking when they saw the two enter.

"Welcome back you two," said James.

"Everyone, we have a problem," began Roven "the Divine are coming."
