( Underworld, Gremory Territory

"-I want nothing but peace for you and those you care for.

Do not become me, Issei.

From Typhon to Issei, my son"

" Is this real?" Sirzechs asked, having read and heard this part at least five times by now. The family and most of the trusted servants were all gathered in the main study of their home, after Grayfia caught Rias reading the letter and noticed the names on it." I believe so, my lord."," Don't call me that right now..(Sigh) Rias, why did you have this letter?" The senior Gremorys turned their gaze from their son, to Rias, who had been sniffling in the corner the whole time.

" I.. I got it from Hermes. He couldn't find Issei, so.. So he left it with me." Rias felt small under the gaze of the older Gremory's, with only her nephew, none the wiser, standing by her side. The little guy was trying to comfort her, but made little progress." Alright, but then why did you refuse to show it to Grayfia when she asked you to show it to her? Were you trying to protect him?" Sirzechs wasn't one to often get angry, mostly because he detested the feeling.

So it was obvious it was straining for him to speak of Issei in this way, and having to act more like a leader, then a friend." Exactly, what of the alliance the factions were trying to establish with the Olympians." Their father commented." You should've known how much they hate his father-"," That doesn't matter right now, Father. I am more concerned for the well being of those around him at the moment. If his strength is anything like his fathers, then the world as we might know might soon be flipped on its head." Sirzechs cut in, bringing his main concerns back into focus.

" I.. I didn't know.. He.. he isn't like that.. I think." Rias tried to defend Issei, but her current self wasn't ready for this meeting, with everyone going for her." And that doubt is why we should be worried." He looked back at the letter, sighing deeply. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, before resuming his leader role." Grayfia, recall every member of Rias's peerage, training is canceled until I say otherwise."," Yes, my lord."," Why!? They need to trai-"," What they need is to be safe, Rias!" Sirzechs yelled back, as Grayfia vanished in a magic circle.

" Especially Irina, she could be in the most danger or worse, she could be what makes him dangerous." Sirzechs had a dark look in his eyes. He might not have been alive back when Typhon caused havoc, but those few survivors he had met and spoken with, spoke of the gruesome monster he was. The lives he crushed, the lands he burnt and cultures he made disappear overnight. The image of him grinning wide, as the world around fell in ruin. He could see Issei standing in his stead so vividly he felt a shiver go up his spine.

He calmed down as he noticed the scared look in his son's eyes. Still keeping his harsher tone, he took the letter and spoke." I'll go to Olympus with this first thing in the morning. Father, Mother, keep Rias and her friends here."," Yes, Dear." Venelena responded, as Zeoticus seemed to mumble about "waste" and "marriage"."And Rias." Rias looked up, seeing Sirzechs standing only a short distance from her, his eyes held a small bit of empathy, but they were mostly sterned." If things go bad tomorrow, you and Sona might need to return to the underworld for the foreseeable future."

" You can't be serious? Kouh is my home-"," This is your home, Rias! And this will only be temporary, until the threat is dealt with."

" You mean when Issei is dead."

" Something like that."

Nazo was sleeping in her real form on the floor, supporting Penemue, as she read a book she grabbed off a nearby shelf. She was barely "reading" it, more just trying to pass the time, dull her mind and make her sleep as deeply as her wife was. She didn't get how easily she could sleep, nor soundly it seemed, as tomorrow was going to be pretty intense for lots of people for lots of reasons.
