Illusion of Integrity

Identities

"Hahahahahahahaha! You are an amusing little girl! Instead of bowing down to us here, you chose to stand on equal ground to us!" Another blurry person with bat wings shortens the distance to Riss.

["Was that your intention?"]

"Partially, yes."

"It's been so long since I saw Axis making himself idiotic like that for misunderstanding the other's power. What a refreshing event! So kid, was that an ability? Truly impressive ability. But just to let you know, some of the people that endured here wasn't because of their power, but because of another ability. So don't get ahead of yourself, don't judge people easily. You trooly are an idiotic one, Axis! Hahahahahahaha!" The batwinged person mocks Axis. But Axis can only clenches his hand, it seems even Axis himself is afraid of this person.

["This guy is interesting."]

"Usually people like this is the most dangerous one."

["Why?"]

"Didn't you see that he was being indifferent when you took over? Your power had no effect on him at all, nothing, not even a slight change of expression.

["I see, he is indeed dangerous."]

"Yes, thanks for the guidance, and who may you be?"

"Hovert of South, I'm an archfiend as you can see." He flaps his wings once, showing his race.

The archfiends are proud beings. They are as strong as the gods. But in this world, just because they are archfiends doesn't dictate that they are evil. Evil or not are judged by actions, not backgrounds.

"Little girl, why hide such power?" The beautiful girl rubs Riss's hair in a lovingly manner.

"I'm sorry, Big Sis." Riss lowers her head.

"Ahaha, I'm your big sister then. That's fine, I don't have any, and having one is not a bad thing. My name is Phieas of the Wind. I live rather far from here. But if you want, you can come with me."

Riss glances at her father. Bernidas nods, giving signal that the God of Wind is a good character and he approves her to come with her if Riss wants.

"Thank you, Big Sis. But, will I be bothering you?"

"I won't be bothered. Even if you are bothering others, I doubt they have the balls as men." Phieas smiles mockingly towards the others.

"Now now, Phieas, I want a little sister too." A very handsome guy walks closer. His eyes are cold, but this guy is like those types that easily misunderstood by others.

"Sure, Big Brother. And your name is?"

"Hefrost of Ice, from the northern." Hefrost smiles, but his smile is rather awkward, it seems that it took a lot of courage for him to even starts speaking. As if this guy is trying so hard to be social, while he is not.

"Cih, such relationship won't do any of you good." Hovert butts in.

"Oh shut up, loner. That's why you have no partner." Phieas's remark leaves Hovert stunned.

"Wha-"

"Now everyone, I think this clear things up. We came here just to understand your standing, your attitude, and even your personality. Little girl, I will be taking my leave then. Visit me when you come by my domain then."

"Yes, Lord Hevel." Riss bows.

Those that stayed starts leaving one by one. Except Hefrost and Phieas, the others only give either a glance, or be indifferent towards it. Only 4 people remain including her father. They are in the middle of chatting when the King comes in. While chatting, Phieas told Riss that Hefrost is her partner. A beautiful big sis and a handsome big brother.

"Ah, sorry for interrupting, Honored Guests." The King bows.

"I don't mind it. I will be coming to her house with Hefrost then. Thanks for the banquet Xagan King. You won't mind us leaving, right?"

"I won't dare to. It was an honor."

Phieas forcefully closes the conversation and drags Riss out. Hefrost and Bernidas looks on each other, confused about the situation, until Bernidas tells Phieas that he will be staying to talk with the king.

***** Half An Hour After The Banquet In The King's Office *****

"Uhhh, brother, how is your health?"

"Are you dumb?" The King seems pissed off.

"I, uhhh, you know, that was..." Bernidas is having a headache on how to respond.

"Your daughter suddenly befriended gods, and even made them their sister and brother. And that pressure again, what was that!?

"That was her power actually..."

"Seriously? Are you joking?"

"No, I'm not. She said, she is actually level 71."

"Wait, did I heard that wrong? What level?"

"71."

"Your daughter?"

"Yes, she is my daughter, who else?"

It seems that both of them are getting dumber and dumber with every conversation. Such thing surely will leave people speechless.

"You said your daughter skipped her school entrance. What are you going to do with that? A level 71 little girl coming to school? Isn't that ridiculous? She will be blasting things off with her power before we know it."

"No, my daughter isn't like tha-"

"That's not my point!"

"What do you mean, Brother?"

"How will she live normally? With her power, she better off living with the gods. And even if she is able to hold her power, what if things found out? She is basically a mass destruction weapon. How is she going to survive society?"

"But Xagan respects power."

"Yes, but not an otherwordly power like the gods!"

"You got a point.."

"Anyway, I forgot to ask you about this. But, how did she got such power?"

"I can't tell you about this brother. This is a family legacy. But she is an anomally, she is the first."

"I see, Everlast Legacy. No wonder."

"She has trouble controlling her power. I will be talking with her, don't worry."

"Sure, do care about your own daughter."

"Okay, I will be leaving then. It's getting closer to midnight."

"Yes yes, go ahead."

***** In Riss's House *****

"So this is your house?"

"Yes."

"Hmmmm, not bad."

"Big Sis you want to sleep in my room?"

"You go ahead first, Lil Sis. I will find you after I talked with your father."

"I will be accompanying her then." Hefrost says with unrecognized emotion.

"Sure, honey."

Both of them then walk towards Riss's room. But Phieas chooses to stay in the living room. Servants are confused because they don't recognize her. But still, the head butler is professional enough to understand the importance of the person sitting there and Lea even approves it so they still serve her to their outmost. It takes a few minutes for Lea and Phieas to chat before Bernidas finally home and goes to the living room to find them both.

"My Lady, sorry for the wait." Bernidas sits beside his wife, opposing Phieas.

"It's fine, your wife is accompanying me."

"I know that it's already midnight for you. But this is an urgent matter so it can't be delayed."

"Is it about Riss? How is she?"

"Yes, she is with Hefrost, don't worry. It seems that Hefrost is so happy having a little sister, he never had one anyway."

"Thank you, My Lady."

"So, there is something that I have to tell you as his father."

"Please if you may, My Lady."

"I sensed Eternia's and Joker's presence on her." Says Phieas after sipping her tea.

"Eternia the Time and Joker the Rainbow? Both on her?"

"Yes, Eternia's presence is actually normal considering your lineage. It has been so long after her death, maybe she finally reborn as your daughter, but her power was in a dormant state. But Joker's too? Something happened to her it seems."

"My daughter is Lady Eternia's reincarnation? If it's Lady Joker's reincarnation, I won't be so surprised."

"Oh, you know something?"

"Actually, my daughter you are currently seeing, is the Rainbow Joker alter ego. And her other ego is the Black Joker. So yes, that may explain her as Joker the Rainbow. But what about Lady Eternia?" Lea says.

"I see, this complicates thing."

"What do you mean, My Lady?" Bernidas is confused.

"If what I guessed was right, the Joker's ego came not too long ago?"

"Yes, and?"

"She was somewhat mixed in with Eternia's. You may now know this, but a very long time ago, Eternia was actually a Xagan, an Everlast. But Joker's ego suddenly entered, this was the first time even for us gods. Two gods in a single body."

"Is that even possible?" Bernidas and Lea is stunned at the information.

"You are not going to say that your daughter is a fake, don't you?"
