Chapter 70: Shield Breaker

There won't be as many chapters today because I'm uploading the whole story onto ao3 which will take quite a bit of time lmao but I have this chapter and a basilisk chapter for you all!

—————————

Sebastian strode through the ministry, feeling a bit anxious now that he was in new territory with his relationships. He knew Love would react somehow, he just didn't know how.

Archinald was relieved to see him after being gone for nearly a month from the Ministry, registering him in and letting him pass.

He stopped when he saw the hooded figure once more, the figure actually moved this time, turning its head to look at him with burning red eyes within a skeletal face.

You were close.

He heard the voice ring through his mind, a deep reverberation of a voice that made his blood turn cold.

He ran for the door to the Love Room, feeling those red eyes burn into his back as he frantically opened the door and slammed it behind him once he was inside.

He sighed deeply in relief, leaning against the wooden door, but he still heard voices.

He is not part of our deal!

I gave you access to the future in exchange for your help in this matter. He has your power, so he is part of you now. The voice that spoke echoed strangely, as if coming from multiple places at once in the same voice.

Do not try to use loopholes with me, Time! You are the one who caused this in the first place by making those damn time turners for the mortals!

There was a tense silence, the air filled with reverberations of magic as if two massive forces were facing off.

Maybe he had come at a bad time. He couldn't see anything though, only hear the voices and feel the magic in the air.

As if sending his trepidation there was a blast of magic through the room that made Sebastian feel like there was suddenly a heavy pressure around him.

The room was suddenly silent as it always was when he had arrived, all tension having left along with that second strangely echoing voice.

"Hello?" He called out, looking around cautiously.

They're gone now.

He sighed in relief at the sound of Love. It was funny how he was actually starting to be comfortable around an all seeing powerful entity.

He walked over to the fountain and drank the amortentia again, hissing softly at the soft burn it made in his gut. It tasted better again... with a slight almost spice taste. It was delicious... spices added to the sweetness and vanilla it already had just made it that much better. Ah, Ominis.

He chuckled as he was almost tempted to take another sip, but thought it wise not to.

Love ascended from the fountain, but this time she was neither Diane nor Ominis. He was bewildered for a moment as a woman made of golden light stepped out from the fountain and approached him, her hair flowing as if floating in the air behind her and her eyes like burning charcoals of light within her.

"Hello, Sebastian." She spoke with a smile. "We finally meet at last."

Sebastian balked in shock, his eyes wide. "You're talking!"

Love chuckled softly, tilting her head. "Because you're finally able to see my true form."

Sebastian smiled, looking rather smug. "Is this because I got with Ominis?"
