Chapter 108: A Gift
After it faded it revealed Serana beside Kel and Silvya in their real forms.
"Huh?" Serana looked at Silvya and Kel oddly after seeing the great changes in their forms.
"This is what Silvya and I truly look like and as for this, this is my home." Kel quickly pointed out before turning attention to the Castle.
Serana looked at the hall in awe and turned her attention to a throne. Beneath it a large wolf-like beast seemed to be sleeping calmly or so she thought until it suddenly opened its eyes and began coming towards the group.
"Akita, you've grown...again" Kel pointed out as Akita came close to him, he patted her soft fur before she pulled away and turned her attention to Serana.
It circled her slowly while taking in her scent, after a short moment Akita let out a small growl and returned to sleep below the throne.
"Feels like a security check..." Kel pointed out as Akita went back to sleep.
"Kel? If that even is your name, where are we and who are you really?" Serana looked at Kel in his real form confused.
"I can't properly answer that question in a short time, *sigh*. Silvya, do you mind?" Kel looked to Silvya who nodded and in turn looked to Serana.
"Lord Kel needs to rest and see to things, I'll answer any questions you have while giving you a tour" Silvya offered but Serana still seemed hesitant.
Kel however had already walked to the throne and sat down. Before Serana could ask Silvya a question, a loud voice interrupted her.
"Master!"
Soon after this word was called out loudly, the large doors to the hall swung open and a young blonde figure appeared with a sword over her shoulder and a grin on her face.
"Welcome back Silvya" She said to Silvya in an energetic tone while only giving the unfamiliar woman beside her a nod.
"Good to see you too, Mordred." Silvya replied and Mordred showed a smile before walking towards Kel. Before Serana could ask anything, Silvya directed her out of the hall with her.
Mordred, who wore a revealing red attire approached Kel's throne and got on one knee before looking up at Kel with a grin.
"Welcome back, Master!" She declared energetically while Kel gestured her to come up.
Her sword vanished from her shoulder as she began to climb the steps to the throne. Upon reaching she had a certain excited look in her eye.
"Is something the matter?" Kel tilted his head slightly and asked.
"Master, remember you agreed on telling me tales of your great battles in detail once you return." Mordred replied while leaning in closer to Kel.
"You remembered huh..." Kel said before letting out a sigh and shrugging his shoulders.
"Fine...I'll tell you a few for now." Kel agreed while patting his lap.
Mordred happily took a seat without hesitation and looked at him with anticipation.
"Hmm, let's start with some from the beginning..." Kel began narrating some of the battles he faced whilst in Skyrim while Mordred listened intently. Time began to fly and soon Kel decided to stop.
".....I'll end there for now." Kel said while Mordred tried her best to convince him to carry on.
"Ehh? Come on Master! Just one more?...." She narrowed her eyes at him and stared intensely but Kel didn't budge.
"How've you been since I left?" Kel asked with a raised brow in an attempt to shift the focus of the conversation.
"It's been a strange few days without you Master, I had no one to drink with or share stories..." Mordred complained while Kel showed an odd look.
'Days? I never properly asked about the concept of time did I...*sigh*' Kel thought to himself and sighed, causing Mordred to look at him oddly.
But before she could say anything, another voice did so first.
"Was the journey tiring this time around?" A woman suddenly appeared in the castle hall and immediately began climbing up the steps to the throne.
"Let's just say If I hear someone say Skyrim, it'll be too soon Lilith" Kel replied while nodding his head.
"You did well, I certainly enjoyed your adventures" said Lilith as she chuckled before casually taking a seat on his other lap.
"Though I'm a bit disappointed..." Lilith declared while showing a saddened expression. To which Mordred tilted her head and looked at Kel.
"How come?" Kel answered curiously and soon got his answer.
"Oh you know, not enough debauchery. I really did believe you'd at least bring with you some more "company" at the very least" Lilith giggled and pointed out but Kel simply shrugged.
"Just a preference I suppose." Kel responded bluntly without having to go into details on the matter.
"Hmm, if you say so. On to another matter, I have an offer for you...."
"Aside from the creator's mess, they are broken worlds caused by beings reincarnated by lesser power entities. Although unnecessary, I'd like to see if you'd take care of them as well. Unlike the creator's mess, you need only go to these worlds and directly pass judgement as you see fit."
"For each world you visit I'll grant a single physical and a single mental alteration. You are limited to 3 worlds in between your return from trips dealing with the creator's mess. What do you say?" Lilith asked while showing a slight smirk.
"If it's only passing judgement and not needing to stay in the world then why not?" Kel responded as he saw a good opportunity.
"Excellent, here's a gift for you by the way." A crimson and gold box appeared in front of Kel and slowly began to open. Inside it were a pair of white gloves.
"The one on the left you can use to reincarnate your target to another world, world options are given based on the person's karma. The right is used to pure the target completely out of existence. This should make your operations more...efficient."
