Fallen Scales

Challenges

The next coming days for Issei Hyoudou were going to be difficult ones. Even with a the coming meeting to declare peace just a single fight could ruin the plans. The unexpected arrival of the White Dragon Emperor put the Devils on high alert. Though as everyone seemed to have a difficult time moving forward, unbeknownst to the all there were two figures watching over the events which have taking place.

In what seemed to be a cave there were to women watching the confrontation of Issei and the White Dragon Emperor through a magic circle. One of the women had long pale blue hair and wore a matching dress. The other had brown hair and wore a purple dress with a trim of gold around her arms.

"The boy has grown very powerful wouldn't you agree?" The blue haired woman asked.

"Indeed. His power could even rival yours my friend" The other replied.

"He could rival me? Sure he's the nephew of Fafnir but that doesn't mean his power can be compared to my own" The blue haired woman argued.

"Oh? Then I assume you no longer have a need of him as a mate?" The brown haired woman asked. "What a shame. I suppose I can find another Dragoness to be his mate" The woman began to make her way out of the cave, continuing to try and bait the other Dragoness. "What a shame really. You've had your eye on him for quite some time. Haven't you Tiamat?"

Tiamat. One of the five Dragon Kings and only female Dragon King. Had her eyes on Issei Hyoudou. Though the reasons as to why were reasonable. Issei is the only natural Dragon and Fallen Angel hybrid. True Samael was one too but he was artificially turned into a Dragon and currently resides in Cocytus.

Tiamat had watched the boys power grow exponentially in the past five years. With his power he attracted many women but so far only one made her way into his heart. It was interesting to her that he hadn't taken multiple mates like many other male Dragons had.

Tiamat was a Dragon King and she refused to have a mate weaker than her. Currently she believes that Issei was weaker than her but she was willing to make that exception due to his unique bloodline.

"I still have use for him. He will give me powerful offspring with a unique skill set the other Dragon Kings can't give" Tiamat replied. "Though all I far is that he'll refuse to be my mate"

"You need not fear that outcome Tiamat. He's slowly opening up to the idea of multiple lovers. He won't reject you" The woman assured.

"And how do you know that?" Tiamat asked.

Silence consumed the cave. The woman turned back to the image of Issei. She's never been physically there for the boy but she's watched over him. Ever since the disappearance of his mother she wished she could be support the boy but couldn't. All she could do now is take care of him in the shadows.

"I guess you can call it a familial bond"

[With Rias]

Not much time has past. It was still the night of the confrontation with Issei and the White Dragon Emperor. All of her servants had returned home with the exception of Akeno. Rias wished to understand why she wasn't told of Issei's arrival. Not that she minded of course but she wished to know why her brother continuously fails to inform her of anyone entering her territory. But because it was Issei who arrived she wasn't that upset.

It humored her. The night after her first confrontation with Issei she wanted nothing to do with him. Yet in the following weeks she warmed up to the thought of being engaged to him. When he came to take Raynare he knew who she was yet didn't care. He came to do his job and left saying what was needed to be said. Oddly enough after a few days she began to enjoy his cold words.
