Land of the Fae

Faerie Kingdom

Jin Skyward

The woman that appeared in front of us was the famed lady of the Land of Shadows, the Witch of Dún Scáith...why is she here?

"Scathach?"

"Oh? Is the famous Middleman familiar with me? I'm flattered."

She showed a fearsome smile as she walked up to us. Spriggan didn't move from his spot, he felt nervous, the aura she was exuding was quite powerful and intimidating. She reached us as she stood there, arms crossed and locking eyes with me.

I stared back at her, without blinking. I felt Valerie hold onto my arm; the room felt tense— You could hear a pin drop... If one did fall.

Hold on, Jin. This isn't the world of Fate, it's not the Nasuverse... The rules here don't work like over there... What is Scathach here? I check... So, she's a Goddess, of what? The dead? Warriors?

"I like that look in your eyes, young Red Dragon Emperor. You're quite intriguing as the rumors have said..."

Rumors? What rumors? The ones about Thor? But that isn't even a rumor at this point, just fact.

"The one with Thor? That isn't a rumor, it's a fact."

She kept her smile but shook her head.

"No, the one with manifesting the [Welsh Dragon] into the world."

Ah, yeah, I guess I did, huh?

[We both can just come out whenever we want though, so that was a short live hype.]

"Right, that."

"So, it's true?"

I shrug as an amused smirk replaces her smile.

"Scathach, what have you come here for? It's not just to see little ol' us, is it?"

Oberon put down the documents and pranced around the Goddess, she didn't break eye contact with me at all.

"The majority of the supernatural world has heard of the treaty being signed by the three powers, Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels, this man was rumored to be born from this country, I was on the lookout outside the barrier to the Faerie Kingdom."

So, she felt Valerie and I come here? I doubt she felt my aura, energy, or mana... Is it just experience? And instinct built up over many years? That's quite something.

[A skilled warrior like her, it's not impossible. She should be around two thousand plus years old; she has used that time to hone herself in 'that' place and before moving there. She did train the famed Cú Chulainn after all.]

"So, you felt us outside it? Why didn't you confront us earlier?"

"To let you do your negotiations, have the treaty signed. I did not come here with evil intentions, Red Dragon Emperor."

She didn't lie, that much I can tell. She can't possibly be here to... Fight me? I mean, that's the only other reason.

"Then why?"

"You already know that many Gods and beings from different mythologies are intrigued by you. They want to know your reasons for wanting peace— Though there are rumors of you just wanting to form a harem."

"Also, they want to know if your rumored feats are true. Besting the God of Thunder Thor, defeating beings as old as Kokabiel and Azrael, and summoning the [Welsh Dragon] into the world."
