Take Eldritch surveys! Noted!

It had taken us a few hours, but we had finally cleared out the out edge of the outer Vegas area of the corrupted. The only place left was a “Camp Mc Carran,” as that was where Neo thought the Light Scout would be. Her main reasoning was that it had the most of those soldiers stationed there, and she suspected that the Light Scout would try to use them to reinforce his feeble attempt to resist her.

 

She had one thing left on her checklist before we attacked though, and that was to get some loot from some people called “The Gun Runners.” It didn’t take her very long, or much of any effort though. As all she had to do, was bonk a robot into next week, and bust into a pathetic shack and stash all the weapons into her system inventory.

 

No one tried to prevent her from leaving either. Several were overcome by pure lust because of how awesome she is, while others were cowering at her casual display of superhuman feats. She broke some reinforced glass with a simple knuckle tap of her hand, and it exploded like it was hit by a tank shell.

 

As we were making our way to the last, and largest, base these NCR soldiers had, Neo suddenly got a thoughtful look while rubbing an imaginary beard on her chin.

 

After humming to herself for a few seconds she said, “You know… I actually have an 'Artoria' of my own. Kinda.”

 

My ears perked up at that and I was instantly looking at her in curiosity and asked, “Oh?!”

 

Neo: “Yup. Though you can't exactly call her Artoria. She came into being in a pretty unique way.. Wanna see her?"

 

Tearwyn: “I do, I do!!”

 

Neo then started to interact with her chat group thing the system provided her. It was quite an interesting feature, and I was fascinated by it. Whoever created this system has some power behind them. It tunnelled through reality to send the chat messages to each of the entities connected to Neo’s soul via the system. If I wasn’t sitting right on her like this, I wouldn’t even notice that she was talking to other people at all! I couldn’t resist, and decided to read what was happening.

 

[>Neo²: Hey Mamabird. Is Arturia near you?<]

 

[>Yangsyummymummy: She's currently beating on Excalibur while we're teaching the kids. So yeah, she's here<]

 

[>Neo²: Mind sending her over? New friend wants to see her and I'm on my nefarious shit. Boutta make a crater<]

 

[>Icecreambae: I love the sound of that..<]

 

[>Yangsyummymummy: One second. Oh and get back here with Blake soon. Turns out you were right and those reincarnators are on the moon somehow<]

 

[>Neo²: Shouldn't be too long. Thanks, Rae<]

 

After about a minute later, I felt someone trying to tunnel into my universe using the connection they had with Neo.

 

‘I wonder if I can only feel that because I am sitting on her as well…’

 

A few seconds later, a connection was established and a portal opened up. A woman who looked like my sister but several years older, and a lot more mature looking stepped out. Her blue robes that either failed to hide her impressive bust or deliberately accentuated it flowed around here regally.

 

She quickly locked eyes with Neo, rushed to her, and brought her into an almost bone crushing hug.

 

Arturia: “Master I should have gone with you to that other world to begin with.. I- Ah- It is good to see you.”

 

 Arturia lightly smiled before putting Neo down and then noticed my presence on top of Neo’s head.

 

My eyes opened wide at how she looked, and I giggled as her hand passed through me a few times when she tried to give me a head pat.

 

Tearwyn: “Wooow! She's super interesting! She looks like a more mature form of Artoria! And she isn't a human either! COOL!” 

 

After looking at her for a few seconds, I tiled my head in thought.

 

With a hum I said, “But, she looks weird without the corruption lines my Artoria has.”

 

Neo: “Oh yours is an Alter then? Nice...”

 

Neo nodded appreciatively as Arturia blinked and looked at both of us with a bit of confusion.

 

Tearwyn: “Alter?”

 

My eyes glowed pink for a few seconds before I put a fist in my open palm and had an “Ah ha!” look about me.

 

With pride I said, “Yes, she's an alter. But so, so much more!”

 

Neo then started to resume her walk towards base Mc Carran while nodding her head and speaking.

 

Neo: “Yeah I'm talking appearance wise. I'm under the impression there's quite a bit different about your Artoria.”

 

With amusement in my voice I said, “Also, I think the name "Yangsyummymummy" is a funny name!”

 

I couldn’t help but giggle at the name for her Raven in the chat group.

 

Neo: “It's the truth and nothing but the truth.. She is, in fact, yummy”

 

Neo tried to hide the sudden lust on her face as she thought about Raven, but I could see it a mile away. Internally I smiled and nodded, as I had to agree with her. Raven really was beautiful.

 

As Neo coughed to try and school her face some more, Arturia had a question.

 

Arturia: “Mas-”

 

Neo: “Neo.”

 

Arturia: “Neo... What are you talking about? Do you... know of my past wielder?”

 

I couldn’t help but giggle wildly while raising my hands up and swinging them around with vigour.

 

Tearwyn: “Know her?! Hehe! She's my sister! Though, I very much doubt that my Artoria was your exact master. The omniverses are HUGE after all~ But she's at least one version of your original master, yes.”

 

Arturia had gained a thoughtful face as she mulled over the small revelation. She seemed to be deliberating something with herself before she nodded and looked up at Neo.

 

Neo had raised an eyebrow, but I could practically feel the anxiety she was feeling. Smiling at Neo and shaking her head, she spoke with utter confidence.

 

Arturia: “Then I hope she is well. Ma-Neo is my current wielder. Something about her makes her worthy. Though I won't say exactly what now. What is our goal, Neo?”

 

‘I am sure love has a huge part of it, you just need to realise it~.’

 

Smiling at Arturia, Neo said, “Thanks, Arturia. We're off to go kill a Reincarnator and the people he infected. We'll explain on the way there.”

 

As I saw Neo grab Arturia by the waist and pull her in, I couldn’t help the mischievous glint that appeared in my eyes. Conjuring up two dolls that looked exactly like the two, I started to giggle.

 

Tearwyn: “Now kiss!”

 

My giggling and the sweet tone of voice I used attracted their attention. When they both looked up at me, and saw what I was doing, Neo smirked while Arturia started to blush wildly.

 

Arturia: “Wh.. What!? Yo.. Why would I.. I mean- Not that Master isn't…”

 

She couldn’t handle it anymore, and tried to reach out to grab the dolls but sadly for her she just phased right through me.

 

Neo had taken out some sort of candy from her system inventory and then looked at Arturia with a sensual gaze while raising and lowering her brows repeatedly. I silently giggled as I could see the metaphysical steam rise from Arturia’s head as her blush deepened even further. Unable to take the teasing anymore, she reverted to her weapon form and was caught by a laughing Neo.

 

Giving Neo a few head pats I said, “She’s cute. I approve!”

 

Neo: “Right? You're good at messing with people. Good job, Plushwyn.”

 

She then popped the candy in her mouth and kissed the base of the lance Arturia had turned into. The lance, that I recognized as Rhongomyniad now, hummed in surprise. Well, I also heard her soul yelp in excitement too, but I kept that to myself.

 

Over the next ten minutes we explained the situation to Arturia. Of how the Light corruption was completely rewriting the people it infected along with the basic enslavement that seemed to irk Neo the most. By the end of the explanation, we had finally reached the base(camp?) Mc Carran, where a large number of infected soldiers were waiting. Neo was grinning with maliciousness as she approached the heavily defended gate.

 

Looking down at the lance I said, “You may not be my sister's Excalibur Morgan, but I feel great power from you. I can't wait to see you in action!”

 

Neo: “Well the first time I used her, I destroyed a fairly large mountain with a dragon inside. Still a fraction of her current power. Though at my full power I could probably destroy a continent. We'll have to tone it down.”

 

Neo casually explained a bit of Arturia’s potential as she was playfully dodging the automatic weapons fire at an impressive speed. Swinging Rhongomyniad in an arc as she arrived at the gate, she tore open the heavily reinforced gate along with the twelve armoured guards that were foolishly standing in front of it expecting to slow her down somehow.

 

As she entered the ruined gate there were at least a thousand mortals all pointing some form of firearm at her. In front of the tiny group, stood the Light Scout, who was flanked by two women. I think Neo had said their names were “Veronica” and “Cass.” They were heavily corrupted by the Light though, as they practically ignored the situation and were staring at the Scout with lust glazed eyes.

 

After Neo had taken in their useless numbers she started to flex on them. Practically literally too! She took up a pose she called the “Randy Orton taunt” all tied up nicely with a mocking glare.

 

She looked totally silly, but still very badass as everyone around her just stilled in confusion and a small amount of annoyance mixed with anger.

 

The Light Scout honestly looked delightfully intimidated from Neo’s lance and pose as he shouted at her.

 

Damian: “Enough of this! You don't have that dark influence so why.. Why do such evil!?”

 

I started laughing uncontrollably and nearly fell off of Neo's shoulder as I said, “Such Evil. Classic.”

 

Neo chuckled at my amusement and open arm shrugged at his question.

 

Neo: “Evil? Nah. You know what's really evil? The NCR.. They commit the worst evils of all…” 

 

Neo shuddered as Damian's brow furrowed.

 

Damian: “Geno-”

 

Neo: “TAXES!”

 

Neo had interrupted Damian while she shook her head in faux lament.

 

Confused Damian asked, “Taxes...? What? Everyone pays taxes.. Tax evasion is illegal…”

 

As he was struggling to comprehend what he heard Neo shouted, “No! It’s an obligation!”

 

He just stared blanking at Neo, who was now laughing at him. I was also laughing as his soul actually did take some damage from that, how interesting!

 

Tears appeared in the corner of my eyes as I was laughing even harder while I was floating casually around Neo while upside down.

 

Tearwyn: “Taxes cause paperwork! And paper work is the bane of all that is and will ever be!!”

 

Neo simply gave me a proud smile and nod.

 

Damian: “Take this seriously!!!”

 

He then charged forward at a pathetically slow pace, while the rest of the mortals opened fire upon her.

 

Neo: “Hoh... Okay. 'Serious' is what you want?”

 

Neo's body was shrouded in lightning as she jumped up thirty feet in the air and brandished Rhongomyniad, her hair going white as her soul pressure mixed with a tiny amount of Divinity, of all things, pressed down on all the mortals present.

 

"Rule of god is incoming. Just don't say you didn't ask for this!" Neo cackled as an overbearing aura was released from the lance.

 

With a soft pop I reappeared on Neo’s shoulders while I had literal stars in my eyes at what I was seeing. While the Divinity she was giving off was minuscule at best, it was there! Deciding to ignore that for now, I looked at the amount of mana that was being charged into her lance.

 

Tearwyn: “WHOOAAA!!! What's the blast radius of this attack?!”

 

Neo hummed in thought for a couple of seconds before launching her attack and simply saying, “Yes.”

 

The ground suddenly lit up in a brilliant light show as the attack obliterated everything and everyone behind the Scout. The only thing left of the airport was now a smoking crater and the gate near the Scout. As he turned around to look at the devastation wrought, he fell to his knees as he realised the futility of his actions. His resignation was so complete that his system actually stopped shielding his thoughts from me.

 

~It's... There was never a chance for victory here..~ Damian thought as he came to the conclusion, while hearing a sigh from his system.

 

Alice: [I'm sorry Damian.. I truly am..]

 

Neo landed beside him and rested her hand on his shoulder. Looking up at her, he could see her hair returning to normal and he shook his head in despair.

 

Neo: "Ah, about that 'evil' crap... You know you've been rewriting people with your corruption, right? Everything about the people you corrupt? They change to benefit your God. Your 'light' does that. It essentially enslaves you and takes away your very identity. Me? I mercy killed them. You ignorant idiot… Did you even realise that? Or did your system ‘forget’ to mention it?”

 

I could see the confusion and dread build up in his soul the longer Neo was talking to him, and I smiled in delightful cruelty. But my mind was also still stuck on Neo’s last attack, truth be told.

 

His system then desperately denied the accusation, [No! She's lying, Damian. We saved them!]

 

Damian: “But… why? She could just…”

 

Neo seemed to have gotten fed up with the back and forth, and suddenly got an alert from her system. She focused on her right hand, and moments later it was covered with the same digital-like mana that the systems run off of.

 

My eyes lit up as I mumbled to myself, “Now I get what you mean by the blast radius is yes… Oooohh! I know where this is going!”

 

Neo heard me and gave me a nod and then said, “Rule number two, Plushwyn…”

 

Neo then plunged her hand into the Light Scout and we all heard two screams ring out. She then pulled out a ghostly female digital human-like soul. The fate of a lot of entities who succumb to the corruption of either side fully. The Light Scout shivered horribly when his system was removed.

 

Neo: “Look, a ghost! Before I send you to the afterlife, mind telling him the truth?”

 

The Scout seemed to pull on the last dredges of his confidence as his “love” was threatened with deletion. He pulled out several guns and started to empty them into Neo’s Aura. While it lit up with every bullet, it was practically doing no damage as she was regenerating faster than he could hope to damage with such mundane weapons. Weapons that were no longer enhanced by his system no less.

 

Seeing that his bullets were doing nothing, he screamed and ran up to her and smashed her in the chest with a rebar club. Honestly, that did even less than the bullets. But he kept lashing out and screaming in desperation.

 

Damian: Why… won’t… you…DIE!!!??”

 

Neo scoffed and punched him in the stomach and a deliciously audible *crack* was heard from the impact. He doubled over, the air violently ejected from his lungs as he stared up at Neo.

 

With a malicious grin she spread her arms wide, with the system still held by the neck trying to get free.

 

Neo: “Aura, son.”

 

I floated down to the horrified Light Scout and laughed in dark glee along Neo.

 

Tearwyn: “Yes! How does it feel, to be so helpless! I am so tempted to show myself to them, just so they can actually see me mock them…”

 

I looked up at Neo, hoping for her input.

 

Neo: “Go for it! They’re both secured here anyway. Now, Light System… are you gonna tell him?”

 

As she strengthened her grip on the pathetic Light constructs neck, I floated back up to Neo’s shoulder and revealed myself to them.

 

Tearwyn: “Yes! Tell him exactly what your filthy Light corruption does to my people! Tell him the real reason why your Masters are in my universe!”

 

The Light System, Alice, glared at me as I revealed myself. Her look didn’t last long however, as she was immediately and harshly thrown to the ground and stomped on by Neo.

 

Alice: “Aaah! Yes… it’s true. They… do get changed by the Light. They’re… repurposed. But it’s only to serve a greater purpose! They should REJOICE! How dare you act like I’m the bad one?! I FREED them from a pointless exist-”

 

Neo didn’t need to hear any more of the dribble coming out of the Light garbage, and so she lined up its jaw to the curb nearby and stomped on her head viciously. The thing's body turned into a mass of light particles as her very being was destroyed before everyone's eyes thanks to the passive I had secretly given her.

 

I had heard a crack, and as I looked over to the source I saw the Light’s Scout lose all sense of hope as his soul fractured a tiny bit. He blankly stared at the spot where the person he loved had died while admitting they did horrible things to people. He shook and shivered as he began to spiral into doubt and despair as more cracks on his soul started to appear.

 

I heard a whistle from Neo as she turned to look at me.

 

Neo: “See? Killed his spirit.”

 

She then shook her boot as if to try and get rid of any residue left by the Light’s system she had eradicated.

 

Tearwyn: “It’s what he deserv-!”

 

Suddenly, an inky black portal opened several metres from us. It felt immensely familiar to me, and only took me a few seconds to realise who was likely to step out of it. Not wanting to get caught, I quickly dashed behind Neo to hide. I suddenly felt two very familiar servants of Artoria step out of the portal, and I was immensely glad I had hid.

 

Neo: Is that Raven and.. Pyrrha..?

 

I then saw her checking her system and chatting quickly with a few of her friends(Lovers?).

 

[>Neo²: Rae? Pyr?<]

 

[>Yangsyummymummy: What's up now? Need help?<]

 

[>Spartanwaifu: What's going on, Partner?<]

 

[>Neo²: Hm.. nevermind.. I'll get back to you<]

 

I then heard Pyrrha question Neo, “Neopolitan? Why are you hiding her blessing?”

 

Neo tilted her head in confusion before Raven also tossed her a question.

 

Raven: “Or, how did you even get here?”

 

Neo shrugged and said, “Magic? Divine power? Probably one of those two things, yeah.”

 

Raven: “Divine power…”

 

I then heard a gasp, and Raven called out in my mind to me. Knowing I was totally busted, I floated out from behind Neo and sat on her shoulder again while giving them a tiny wave and a smile

 

Tearwyn: “Hello…”

 

Raven then looked around at the little battlefield and took note of everything, including the broken Light Scout. Both Raven and Pyrrha then kneeled, bowed and lowered their heads while greeting me.

 

Raven and Pyrrha: “Our Goddess Tearwyn!”

 

Much to my horror though, Raven had contacted Artoria, but she stumbled on her words badly, and I KNEW she had just caused a massive misunderstanding.

 

Tearwyn: “WHY?! YOU COULD HAVE WORDED THAT SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!”

 

Neo was slightly surprised by my distressed out cry, but must have thought it was about them calling me out.

 

Neo: “Oh you know them then? I like the Grimm look on Raven, not going to lie…”

 

She then bounced Rhongomyniad on her other shoulder casually before mini panicking and saying, “Not that Pyrrha isn’t good looking! She looks oddly… cuddly in that form?”

 

I was into much of a panic though to notice her amused grin as she talked. Noticing my state and tilting her head, I could only give her an apologetic look as I felt Artoria coming here. I couldn’t contact her, she was completely in rage mode.

 

I started to talk in a panicked tone before I finished off shouting, “Well, you wanted to meet my sister… Neo’s System, I know you can hear me. I am going to do as much as I can to protect Neo, and Arturia, but I will need your help. Use EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO SHIELD THEIR SOULS!!”

 

‘I’ll also try and shield the Light Scout… he shouldn’t get off easy for daring to attack my bestie… as useless as it was.’

 

Tearwyn: “And their minds! And I MEAN EVERYTHING! She’s coming!”

 

Neo blinked a few times at me before I saw a barrier gently flow over her and Arturia. It was strong, but I am glad I am here to help augment it. Otherwise Neo would be in for a lot rougher of a time.

 

Her system actually spoke out which seemed to surprise Neo.

 

[Very well. This cannot be avoided]

 

Neo: “Ah… it’s serious then.”

 

She frowned as she realised the severity of the situation from my warning and how her system actually took action.

 

Raven yelled out with a guilt ridden voice: “I am so sorry, Goddess Tearwyn! I was just taken aback to see you outside your forest! It was a slip of the tongue!”

 

Pyrrha winced as she felt my sister enter this universe.

 

Pyrrha: “Ohh, you messed up… She’s so pissed. Can you feel it?”

 

Raven grimmly nodded her head while Neo tilted hers and looked at me. Before I could say anything more though, Raven's shadow exploded out around us and covered a large area.

 

‘Ohhh no. She is so beyond pissed. I am so sorry Neo!’

 

First there was an eerily silent silence around us. And then we all felt it. Unimaginable fury, hatred, and bloodlust. The air itself started to gain a red hue, and the very space around us started to cry out and creak. My sister's Black Water started to bubble up from under Raven, and slowly moved away from her. Beautiful ribbons started to flow out of the puddle and form a large cocoon of sorts.

 

The presence of hatred and bloodlust spiked. The magic in the air seemed to explode in intensity that made anything that Neo could produce with her lance pale in comparison. I then felt an unimaginable pressure fall onto Neo’s and Arturia’s souls. Thankfully I was augmenting her systems barrier, as if I wasn’t she might have turned out like the Light Scout. The gate that was left standing, and all other objects near us started to whine from the pressure that was building up. And then the cocoon exploded outwards, revealing my Sister in all her glory. 

 

She was in her form that looked like Arturia, but several years younger, with black armour instead of her normal white. She and her sword she held were engulfed in red-black flames, and I could feel the evils she had been absorbing rolling off her in waves.

 

‘At this rate, she’ll develop a 4th authority before she ascends…’

 

With that idle thought, Artoria started to look around with interesting solid glowing red eyes.

 

‘That’s new! But it doesn't seem to be… normal? An illusion maybe?’

 

Neo let out an impressed whistle as she looked around as the very world was reacting to the mere presence of my sister. I felt pride build up in my breast that she was so impressed that she’d risk drawing my sister's attention. Which she did.

 

As Artoria looked at Neo, I felt another massive crash against our barriers as the passive evil and bloodlust she was giving off tried to assault her mind. Once again, I was thankful for the strength of the system Neo had. If it was any less, she really could have gone insane from my sister's aura alone.

 

She then looked at me on Neo’s shoulder, and gave me a soft smile. Looking down at the Light Scout who was honestly barely holding on because of my protection, she started to make her way over to him. Every step she took, the ground shuddered and cracked from the sheer amount of power she was expelling.

 

I felt Neo shudder as she recovered from being assaulted by such, frankly speaking, crazy amounts of bloodlust and Evil. I could see her eyes shine in interest at what my sister was going to do.

 

Turning my attention back to the now very much broken man, who was almost ready to break and go mad from the fear alone, started to float before Artoria.

 

Artoria then spoke several spells, her voice laced with such an overwhelming amount of unadulterated hatred.

 

Artoria: “Perception of infinity. Soul Brand. Soul Burn. Blood Boil. Curse of Corruption.”

 

‘Yea, she is super duper uber pissed. To Soul Brand all those curses…’

 

What happened next, was a visual representation of the malice she felt for the man. Soon, his skin started to boil as if it was on fire. He also started to rapidly age, and looked as if he was sick with several diseases as his body warped. His screams were cut short, as he eventually melted to nothing but a floating burnt skeleton. But that too soon crumbled to dust, to reveal a spectral version of himself.

 

And it seemed to happen all over again, but never stopping as his spectral self seemed to fix itself just as it was about to break down, only for it to start all over again. This went on for a minute as ethereal screams were heard across the entire planet. Until finally his soul couldn't handle it anymore and simply flaked away into nothing.

 

My sister simply stood there for several seconds, before everything simply… returned to normal. All the pressure on our barriers vanished and the aura she was giving off also disappeared. I could hear Neo release a small breath of relief as this terrible nightmare was over.

 

Artoria’s armour changed back to her usual white colour and set, and she also shrunk down a bit. She turned around and looked at me with a soft smile while she opened her arms wide.

 

Her voice was filled with affection as she cooed at me, “Tearwyn~!”

 

Tearwyn: “Sister!”

 

I floated over to her, but just before we hugged I gave her a good solid bonk on the head!

 

Tearwyn: “That was super extreme!! You almost hurt my new friend!”

 

I then heard Neo burst into laughter. Turning to look at her, she was hunched over as she wiped tears from her eyes. She took a deep breath and after laughing for a solid ten seconds, she walked over to us.

 

Looking up to my sister with interest in her eyes, she said, “Well I figured you’d be overprotective but that was crazy…”

 

Artoria had the decency to blush a tiny amount and looked away from Neo’s eyes.

 

Artoria: “I am not sorry for that. My Tearwyn is the single most important thing to me. Hearing she was out of her dimension near a person of Light… and that she was tiny… made my imagination run wild.”

 

Neo nodded her head along with the explanation my sister gave.

 

Artoria: “But, this is just an illusionary Avatar. She is still perfectly safe now that I have a clear head.”

 

She looked up at me and smiled.

 

Tearwyn: “Hmph! As if I would worry you, Artoria!”

 

I put my hand on my hips and turned away from her.

 

Artoria: “Yeahhh…”

 

I saw her lower her head out of the corner of my eye.

 

Neo: “She came along to travel with me. It was a great time too. Hm…”

 

Turning to look back at Neo, she was slowly nodding her head as she looked over my sister closely.

 

Neo: “Evil… but hot… Eviiiiiil… but yep.. Damn.”

 

She seemed to be having some kind of internal war over something, before she just shrugged and dismissed it. She tapped Rhongomyniad on her shoulder as she asked Artoria a question.

 

Neo: “Anyway, you’re probably familiar with who I am, I’m guessing?”

 

As Artoria was looking over Neo, I couldn’t contain my curiosity anymore and had to ask.

 

Tearwyn: “Why are your eyes red like that?”

 

Blinking a few times Artoria chuckled and said, “Ah. I was just about to fuck with the people of the world you sent me to before I got the rather… unhelpful description of what she saw from Raven.”

 

As her eyes returned to her beautiful black and glowing gold, I noticed Raven blushed a bit before she tried to speak up.

 

With a rather weak and meek voice Raven said, “I’m sorry.”

 

Artoria waved her off before looking back to Neo and saying, “Yes. I know who you are Neo. I also take it you’re not from the world I took, considering your neutral feeling soul and all.”

 

Neo smiled at me and said, “I do consider myself chaotic Neutral. Well I’m impressed, Plushwyn! You do have a pretty good sister.”

 

Nodding my head repeatedly and beaming a smile at Neo I said, “She’s the best!”

 

Artoria then turned to her two Grimm servants and with a stern voice said, “For your punishment for making me worry about Tearwyn, I want you two to hunt down every Light stained on this world, and cleanse them. After that, no world travelling for a month Raven!”

 

I could only smile slyly at her little punishment. Her aura had obliterated every soul in several thousand kilometres, so the two would have to do a bit of running. And it might not even turn up anything!

 

They both kneeled and yelled, “As you will, Lady Artoria!”

 

They then shot off in different directions while cracking the ground from the force they used.

 

Artoria then plucked me out of the air, and started to snuggle our faces together. As she signed in content, she asked Neo what was next.

 

Neo: “Well… someone else wants to talk here.”

 

I then saw her lance, Rhongomyniad, slip from her grip and return to her human form. She really does look like an older Artoria.

 

‘Still think the lack of corruption lines is weird…’

 

After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Neo’s Arturia gave a slow nod in acceptance.

 

Arturia: “I see… so this is the path you could have chosen. It is… different. But above all, I wished for your happiness. It seems, through one way or another… you have it now.”

 

Arturia seemed happy about my sister's current fate, and had a thankful expression. While my Artoria slowled nodded and had a raised eyebrow at the sudden transformation.

 

Artoria: “I am... Surprised you don’t find me “Lacking” or “Disgusting” like another version of myself did. Before I erased her and her summoner from existence itself that is…”

 

Shaking her head at the memory she then said with absolute finality, “But, yes. Tearwyn is my everything.”

 

I heard an audible ‘awww’ from Neo, and smiled at her.

 

Artoria then started to cuddle with me more causing me to giggle. I tried to valiantly (not) struggle out of her grip, but my sister was too great. So I accepted my fate.

 

With a sigh and shaking her head Arturia said, “I am not a past you. And now I say that I… can perhaps understand that sentiment. About… someone being your everything.”

 

She took a quick peek at Neo, who was clutching her chest, before she quickly looked away with a blush.

 

Neo: “Mmfh… too cute…”

 

I heard Artoria whisper to Neo while throwing her a quick wink and a sly smile, “Great catch, I should know.”

 

A matching smirk grew on Neo’s face as she gave Arturia’s shoulder a pat.

 

Neo: “Well, this was a blast. Feel free to call me up for more stuff. Maybe when I get a bit stronger? Both of you feel free to call me. I’m only a universe away. See you next time~.”

 

With a shrug and a funny ‘salute’ to me, they both vanished.

 

I shouted out, “Bye!” with a bit of sorrow in my voice hoping they heard me.

 

Hearing a sigh, I turned to my sister and gave a wry smile.

 

Artoria: “I was really worried, Tearwyn. Plushwyn? Hehe.”

 

Giggling, I softly hugged my sister’s head.

 

Tearwyn: “I am sorry, Artoria. I didn’t mean to worry you.”

 

Artoria: “All good, my precious little sister. Now, if you don’t mind sending me back? I still have a Light Scout fucker to hunt down!”

 

Giggling and snapping my fingers, a portal opened for my sister and she stepped through.

 

Artoria: “I’ll see you soon, Tearwyn!”

 

With a sigh at the craziness that happened, I dismissed the Avatar I was using and returned my full focus to my main body. Sitting back in my forest, I couldn’t help but tear up a little.

 

Tearwyn: “I want to spend more time with my new friend… I also want to spend time with Artoria. I will bring up the Avatar when she gets back…”

 

I then heard a wonderful voice go off in my head.

 

Lilith: “I can help with that, my cute little Tearwyn~.”

 

I shot to my feet as I happily jumped around.

 

Tearwyn: “Big sister Lilith! Really?!”

 

Lilith: “Really~. It’ll be up to Neo, but I don’t think she’ll disagree~.”

 

Tearwyn: “YES! Thank you big sister Lilith!”

 

I heard her softly giggle and her voice speak out one final time while it started to fade.

 

Lilith: “You need only ask, my adorable little kit~.”
