Chapter 178: Another Member
"The founder of the Church himself focused on black magic and destroyed the Dark Elves who were in league with the enemy, but Sylvia is just a child. An outcast, no one knows what she'll do, but as soon as James chose to take her in, I had to support her, just as I would support James." Erebus suddenly said.
At his words, every single person in the hall fell silent, and Athena's words instantly broke the silence:
"We know that the founder of the church, the worshipper of Lady Nyx, rewrote the concepts and rules of the tower. Dark Elves, Red Devils, Shaman Druids, and many other races worshipped the Fallen Gods, and they met their end as a result. They were lucky enough to be forgiven by the founder of the Church, but that was a long, long time ago."
When Athena said these words, everyone's eyes locked on her, even the Titans had to listen when the Goddess of Wisdom uttered such words.
"My opinion is that this racism must come to an end, even tho it has a main and true point it should end. If James, the current leader of the church, is willing to forgive them, I am personally ready to forgive them.
Forgive my rudeness, I was not even born in a time of war so I can not possibly imagine what all of you went through, but I ask that this anger, this grief, this resentment be on the sinners and not on their children."
When Athena had finished, silence fell over the hall once more, all eyes turned to Ouranos or by the main name Uranus, one of the greatest of the Titans, and even Nyx herself wondered what he would say.
Uranus stared unblinking for a few seconds, and then as if he had had enough, he said, "I have been in the battle myself, I have watched with my own eyes how many have fallen, but even I realise that time is running out. If the others are ready to forgive, I am ready to forgive, I think the Titans understand what I am talking about."
These words were one for all, Athena could not even understand what she had achieved, perhaps she had managed to find a way to completely stop the future that would be formed with blood, she could even end the wars with just a few words she said. With those words, he had given James the ability to create an army.
Eyes turned back to the screens, the images of Slyvia crying with joy were visible to everyone, each of them had heard only words about how much this child had suffered, and each of them had seen with their naked eyes what war brought.
"I hope you like old Erebus' gift for you," James said suddenly. Sylvia wiped the tears from her eyes and then said, 'I am very happy, sir...."
"Go and get some rest, each of you, I'll give you a name tomorrow," James said and was about to send the children off when his heart started to pound. Vlad and Emily instantly jumped out of the ring James was wearing and started looking around.
While those watching were trying to figure out what was going on, Nyx and the other Titans understood what was happening a little bit and then cleared the Olympus hall again and sent a message to James:
[Did you find another soul fragment?]
When James read this message from Nyx, he shook his head and then stood up from his seat, saying, "Wait guys."
After gently approaching the children, he looked at them one by one, no one, including Slyvia, could understand what was going on, but they could understand that something serious was happening from James' facial expression.
"Sir, is something wrong?" Sylvia suddenly asked and James, hearing this, asked the question:
"Do you have any of your family's possessions? Anything, any one of you. This black ring you see on my finger belonged to my ancestor, it warns me when our family belongings are nearby, so one of you must have something."
As James voiced this question and the words that followed, a little girl from the group of over a dozen children came up to James and then took off the necklace she was wearing around her neck and said, "This was given to me by my mother before she was killed as a slave, she said it was given to the family leader by someone a long time ago."
"You have no idea how much this means to me, young lady," James said as he patted her head and gently took hold of the necklace.
As James held the necklace a glow dazzled everyone in the room, after a short time the glow faded and a spirit appeared in front of James.
When James saw the spirit, he suddenly saw Vlad appear in front of the spirit, when Vlad gave the spirit a big hug, James turned to the children and said, "I will reward you for this, don't worry, but for now you all have to leave this place."
Everyone, including Ariel, left the hall. There were only James and Vlad and Emily's spirit in the hall, and a mysterious female figure whose face was not even visible.
James was about to ask who this female figure was when Vlad's words were heard:
"My little sister! Look at the play of fate!"
Upon Vlad's words, James realised that the female figure in front of him was Vlad's sister, which meant that this woman was one of the 5 siblings, a daughter of Desmond.
When James's gaze focused on the female figure, the woman's face began to become visible.
She had red hair, jet black eyes, wore glasses with round lenses and was dressed in an incredibly beautiful outfit, she was by any means gorgeous.
"It's been a long time, dear brother, I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see you," she said, and then she turned to James and continued:
"So it is you, the chosen one, the one to whom we must pass on all my father's teachings, and upon whom we must place all the hopes of our lineage."
James didn't even know what to say, his eyes widened in shock and his gaze locked on the woman in front of him.
