The supreme sovereign system

"Where…. Where am I? Ouch, it hurts!" A young woman woke up early in the morning. She had bandages in all her body. She felt that all her body hurt from the tip of her toes until the tip of her hairs.

"Artemis! You finally woke up!" A cheerful voice came from her side, when she looked at the direction of the voice, she saw a young woman with brown hair and green eyes looking at her with a joyful expression. Artemis was surprised after seeing this young woman.

"Demeter? You woke up your summer from?" Asked Artemis.

"Yeah… however, my soul was injured when I evolved, so I only have 70% of my original powers in the summer form, to recover, I will need a few months, so I will have to stay in this form for at least a year or even more depending of how much I use my powers" Said Demeter with a bitter smile.

"You forced the evolution, didn't you?" Asked Artemis with a serious tone.

Demeter looked at her and nodded.

"Back there, I did enter in the metamorphosis stage, however, it take me three days to complete the evolution so, I had to use some on my life force to increase the speed of the process" Said Demeter.

"How bad it's the injury?" Asked Artemis.

"I wont be able to use the Ying-yang domain until I enter my autumn form" Said Demeter.

Artemis made a long sigh and looked at Demeter.

"What happened after I fainted?" Asked Artemis.

Demeter recalled all the events of that day, the death of Alberto, the fight with Lucio and the loyalty decree of both parties towards Wasteland Valley.

"What happen to that guy, Lucio" Asked Artemis.

"He is in the basement of the manor, locked up, I have part of his soul so, if he tried anything funny I will just devour it and the "shadows" will hunt his body" Said Demeter.

"I see… then what about Alfonso, where is he?" Asked Artemis.

Demeter remained in silence.

Artemis's face became pale.

"Where is he!?" Asked Artemis while trying to stand up.

"Don't stand up you will hurt yourself more, he is resting in the room next door, is just…" Said Demeter.

"Is just what?"

"He hasn't woke up since that day" Said Demeter.

"What do you mean by hasn't woke up!? Is he that injured?" Asked in pacnic Artemis

"No, his external injuries are fine, however, his left eye was beyond salvation, he completely lost it, apart from that, he is fine, however, it seems that his soul receive some kind of injury, I can't heal it, not with my summer form, and, because I cant enter the Ying-yang domain, Its impossible for me to check out his soul anymore, I used my last chance to do it and something blocked my vision" Said Demeter.

Artemis took a few minutes to finally calm down.

"Can I see him?" Asked Artemis.

"Yeah, however, for now, just rest, you aren't exactly in a nice position either. You broke almost all your bones, you are blessed that we recover some of our powers and our bodies are stronger than normal humans, if not, you will death by now" Said Demeter in a serious tone.

Artemis relaxed and lied down on her bed.

"I know my body the best, is as you say I will need a month to recover, however, to recover my fighting shape, I will need half a year, my injuries are to sever" Said Artemis.

"Its good that you know, well, I will let you rest… don't go on your own and worsen our injuries" Said Demeter with a severe tone.

"Come on, I am not that drunker, you can trust me" Said Artemis with a slightly awkard expression.

Demeter made a sweet smile.

"Of course, I can trust you" Said Demeter.

Artemis made a reliavable sigh.

*CACHA*

Suddenly a sound interrup her thoughts, she looked at her own foot and saw a handcuff, she tried to move her foot but the handcuff was roped to the bed.

Artemis had some small black lines on her forehead while looking at Demeter who was still smiling radiantly.

"I say you could trust me!" Said Artemis.

"But I trust you~" Said Demeter.

Artemis signaled her foot with her hand.

"This doesn't look like trust at all!"

"Just in case, just in case~" Said Demeter.

"I forgot that her personality changes every time she changes forms" Though Artemis.

"Well, I will be going, take care~" Said Demeter.

Artemis lied on her bed while doing a small pout.

Demeter closed the door and Artemis was just about to go to sleep once again when she saw that Demeter had her head showing from the door.

"I almost forgot" Said Demeter.

"What?"

"I will be sleeping on the same bed that Alfonso since the cane broke, so he doesn't feel any pain" Said Demeter with a slightly playful smile.

"WHAT!?" Said Artemis.

"Yeah, you know he and me, man and woman, he is quite sturdy despite his looks~" Said Demeter.

"DEMETER! You bitch, let me go!" Said Artemis while trying to cut the handcuff.

"Bye Bye~" Demeter closed the door.

"DEMETER!!!!" The shout of Artemis could be heard in all the manor of Tulip.

............

It was late at night went Demeter enter Alfonso's room.

What? You thought she was only teasing Artemis?

No, no. She was serious.

In fact, she has been doing it for the first night since Alfonso stayed in the manor!

She felt comfortable sleeping by his side.

However, she only slept at his side nothing more. This night however, something surprised Demeter, just as she was about to change into her pajamas, she saw Alfonso's face, the moonlight make Demeter notice something slightly different on Alfonso.

"Its just me… or his hair is turning black?" Though Demeter while looking at Alfonso's head.

Indeed, if one looked closely, Alfonso's hair, who was originally blond due to the blood of the Lockhearts, suddenly had blackness on the left side.

"What is happening" Though Demeter.
