The Flow of Arcane: New Legends Arises

An Ominous Hearing

The room that Lin Chao entered alongside his mentor was what he had expected for any type of governing group. Filled with bickering morons that are too conflicted with everything to actually make any real answers for people that have no real knowledge. Being completely and utterly useless as things kept on spiraling out of control. It had always amazed him when The Ethereal Council would ever come to a working agreement on anything with how often he would see all members being at each other's throats. The main members that were on The Council were Odin, Khonsu, Ra, Hades, Olorun, Kali, Princess Iron Fan, Benzaiten, Týr, Nephthys, Nu Wa, Shiva, and Hestia. Figures from different sets of myths among the many stories of Midgardians yet through these thirteen members were The Realms kept in check... In a manner of speaking. The only other high authority that held the same ranking was Moros. What was agreed to be the "Natural Order of Things" had to go through both Moros and The Ethereal Council before being made into universal law. , The Council itself served as a governing body for the Nine Realms and the smaller Realms connected to them.

However, Liù'ěr Míhóu soon began to clinch onto his ears due to a painful metallic sound as he growled due to knowing who was causing this auditory pain. , Xi'Lang was confused to see Liù'ěr Míhóu in a state of pain until she heard the sound of a metallic and computerized monotone voice. "Well, well." Spoke aloud a Kitsune as his five tails swayed behind him. It was quite evident by the very nature of the Kitsune's Voice alone that he was an Ongaku Kitsune, one with power over Sound and Music, "It is a surprise to see Heimdall have left his post at The Bifröst. Tell me Watchman of The Aiser, what has warranted such an action?" The Ongaku Kitsune spoke with inquiry, leaving The Six-Eared Macaque to his ears covered in an attempt to avoid hearing the mechanized vocals. The Kitsune held himself with the professionalism of a general with the uniform to match his status. His uniform held the appearance and design of a Japanese War General, colored with shades of maroon, dark gray, and royal purple. Perfect to contrast his natural fur color of an imperial blue with traces of silver. His hands were held behind him, wrists placed on top of each other as The Ongaku examined the group before him with the vermilion-colored eyes.

Heimdall grumbled as he was as distraught by seeing this Kitsune as Liù'ěr Míhóu by hearing his voice. "Nice to run into that arrogant Loong Emperor's right hand..." He lamented while rubbing the bridge of his nose to reveal some building frustrations. "Does your whiny Emperor want to make another appeal for his need for conquest or are you here for other matters Kyknow..." The Aiser remarked with the intent to insult the fox before him as Macaque somewhat chuckled due to the jab.

"My name, Watchman, is Oto Kyōfushō." Corrected Oto with a snarl that made Heimdall agonize in pain along with Set, Nez Ha, Ogun, Horus, Zeus, Lin Chao, Xi'Lang, Lucille, Anthony, and Luna while Liù'ěr Míhóu felt like his ears were about to bleed by Oto's mastery over sound with even a simple snarl. The sound has the similar effect of placing a microphone a bit too close to a speaker.

"Please Stop!" Liù'ěr Míhóu begged as he dropped to the floor due to the pain he had to endure from Oto Kyōfushō's snarl. Despite the power his ears granted him, that same hearing was also a weakness for The Six-Eared Macaque. Oto Kyófushō chuckled as he turned down the volume of his voice with a sense of amusement to watch such a powerful individual being brought to his knees so quickly. Heimdall cursed himself for allowing his own arrogance to get the better of him when his own Foresight Ability had revealed this intent if he did insult the Ongaku General.

However, this stunt made by Oto was quickly picked up by some of the other individuals within the room. Soon, they all felt a powerful being coming to approach them as she placed her hand on Macaque's shoulder. With a soft glow of her hand, Liù'ěr Míhóu felt his ears instantly heal through this magic. "I would advise you to try something like that again, Oto. Best not to make enemies on Asgard." Spoke a powerful feminine voice as Anthony felt something deep within his mind connect with the woman's appearance.

"Wait... Aren't you Morgan Le Fay?" The CEO of Gibbs Industries questioned as he tried desperately to figure out how he knew this woman. He had no regulation of anything regarding The Tales of King Arthur and his most trusted warriors, The Knights of The Round Table. Yet, Anthony could not shake the feeling that he had Morgan and knew her quite well.

Luna was surprised to hear that this woman was one of the most powerful figures in Arthurian Legend. "Wait... Like that Fairy Queen, Morgan?" Pondered Luna as many present groaned at the girl's ignorance of what The Queen truly was.

"Since I can tell that you're an outsider to our ways, I will give you a pass just this once. I am not a Fairy, even though I am the Queen of all Fairy Folk and The Realm of Avalon." Morgan explained as she tempered her anger for the misconception, "I am a Fae. Though, I can understand why you have this false idea. To simply explain the difference between a Fairy and a Fae is what separates a Ljósálfar from a Dökkálfar. One is born of Light and the other is born of Darkness." The Queen explained with a small gesture of her hand.

Set chuckled while crossing his arms as he knew another reason for why Morgan was a Fae. "Or in your case, Milady. Corrupted into becoming a Fae due to your anger towards King Pendragon and more importantly, his son Mordred... He is the reason why Humanity was forced to believe your tales of Myths and Legends were just to explain things beyond your comprehension." The Akar finished as Morgan rolled her eyes while placing a hand on her hip.

"Woah, woah, woah..." Luna exclaimed while waving her hands in front of her to display her disbelief, "Not only are you saying that those stories of Arthur are in fact cannon lore to our history, but his SON is the reason for all of this secretary about the 'Percy Jackson' side of things?" She questions in pure shock by this new information.

Horus was quick to confirm this detail, "I am not familiar with everything that happened with Camelot and Avalon. Though, Morgan Le Fay's accounts on the events and Morderd's hatred for Mythic Kind, especially for Dragons like Kilgharrah." Though as these words were announced by The Pharaoh of Aker Kind, Morgan failed to hide a sly smirk.

"I made sure that he had to endure punishment for his actions. Cursed him to take on the characteristics of Dragons, making him live out a form of ironic fate that The Black Knight would see as worse than death." Declared The Fae Queen this detail left an impression on Lin's mind regarding his Electrical Rival and his powers. He knew from what he saw from Tyrik that he wasn't a common form of Dragon like Emperor Ryequar or Kilgharrah. Something was different about him, yet the type of warrior that Tyrik was made Lin's blood boil with rage. Yet as these words left Morgan's lips, she began to feel a sense of... Dread with a small sense of hope. "Though... Unlike many of my fellow Fairy Folk and most Mythics. I have a degree of hope that Midga-" She attempted to say before the booming voice of The Dragon Emperor cut her words short.

His laughter reeked with the sound of prideful arrogance and thirst for conquest, "You believe that Midgardians would be trusted with the truth of their world and accept our kind into their Realm?" Mocked Ryequar as Oto Kyōfushō bowed before his emperor as The Loong's footsteps cracked the floor beneath his feet with the brutish strength that resonated throughout his body. It was clear Ryequar was a powerful Warlord through his intimidating stature, towering over most while the Divine was barely taller than he was. "Such a naive ideal, Queen Le Fay. All Midgardians like this pair of whelps before us only know and crave violence. Every day of their pathetic lives is spent simply slaughtering themselves. To endorse themselves with money and power." He continued with a dark chuckle with his tail swaying in delight. However, Anthony and Luna gave Ryequar a glare of disdain for his words. Even if they could not deny his words, it did not mean that it applied to all of Humanity. Nor did it mean that Humanity was unable to find their means to find their way to change and grow for the better.

Soon, the commanding voice of The All Father spoke throughout the room, "Heimdall and company! We request your presence in The Rœða Chamber to hear your report on The Events within Nidavellir!" This declaration from Odin himself drew the attention of all of those who were relevant, especially the abomination trapped within Ogun's steel chains.

"About time that The Ethereal Council decided to summon us." Announced The Orisha of Metal as Heimdall began to ponder how to give his own report on the oddity of the man-made monster that struggled to keep itself together. To The Watchman's surprise, Liù'ěr Míhóu expressed a sense of empathy for him as The Six-Eared Macaque had his own fair share of unexplained events despite his powers. Yet, there was no time for delay as these details had to be brought up to The Council. It was just a matter if they would listen to the full report and not discard the impending threat that was growing within the shadows of Yggdrasil.
