Chapter 78: Heartbroken God

Astoria stood back up after seeing Morpheus be eradicated by the conceptual weapon, snickering at her last words.

"Hehehe... did I put on a perfect act, or what?" (Astoria)

"Your act was incredible Astoria... she really fell for it..." (William)

They both looked at each other and laughed.

"Hahahaha, luckily we have the pieces of Arcana's halo that gives us divine protection. Without it she would've definitely killed us with her Authority." (Astoria)

William nodded, agreeing with her statement. He smiled to those words, feeling safe and secure after Morpheus' death.

"Indeed. We've come prepared for a reason. Conceptual weapons are handy for everything. To killing gods, witches, and even demons. They're made to be unstoppable forces for a reason." (William)

Astoria dusted herself off and winked at William, giving a thumbs up as well.

"Nihihi, we make a great team as always! Now let's go find Leelee so we can reach Beatrice once and for all!" (Astoria)

"Aye. Let's." (William)

Both William and Astoria searched around the room, while also watching the entities created from their dreams slowly disappear into nothingness after Morpheus' death. Naturally when a god dies, their authority dies with them which unbalances the world and its laws. Taking Morpheus as an example: she embodied dreams, so if she died, then the concept of dreams would die out as well, but conceptual weapons managed to bypass those effects, and still keep dreams an ongoing concept despite it's main source ceasing to exist.

"Wait... I think I see someone?!" (Astoria)

After searching the large room they looked down it's dark pathway, seeing two people laid on the ground next to skeletons.

"...Oww... what happened...?" (???)

"PRINCESS LEELEE!" (William)

The figure that stood up was no one else but Leelee Vansbo, and next to her was Yumi Yorgana. They were perfectly fine...

"PRINCESS LEELEE ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" (Astoria)

Leelee turned to face the familiar voices as her eyes suddenly lit up in surprise.

"Astoria...? William? How did you two get down here?" (Leelee)

"WE MANAGED TO BREAK THROUGH YOUR BARRIER! ARE YOU WELL?!" (William)

William ran up to her, placing his hands onto her shoulders, shaking her back and forth like a worried brother.

"Y-Yes, yes! I'm well, I'm well!" (Leelee)

"Hahaha, so these must be your friends Leelee?" (Yumi)

"And who's this handsome young man you're with Leelee?" (Astoria)

"O-Oh pardon me. My name is Yumi Yorgana, it is a pleasure to meet you both..." (Yumi)

"...Yorgana...? I think I've heard of that last name before actually..." (Astoria)

"It's a pleasure to meet you Yumi Yorgana. My name is William, and this air headed brunette next to me is Astoria." (William)

"Hey!" (Astoria) 

Astoria shoved William to the side and approached Yumi, shaking his hand.

"Pleasure to meet you!" (Astoria)

"Me and Yumi were inside this weird place... fighting some girl by the name Ginger... and now we're suddenly inside this castle?" (Leelee)

Leelee scratched her hand as she looked around herself confused .

"To summarize it; you both were eternally put to sleep by the goddess of dreams Morpheus, as she tried to make you fail from ever completing the fourth floor... which I assume is the final floor of this tower." (William)

"...Huh? The final floor? Then why is the tower so huge when you take a look from it outside?" (Leelee)

"I guess those other floors are limited to only Beatrice herself..." (Astoria)

"I suppose that makes sense... well alright! We finally get to meet Beatrice once and for all, and restore the world back to normal! LET'S GO FINISH THIS!" (Leelee)

Leelee risen her Champion into the air as her charismatic aura shone out her body, giving everyone the motivation they needed.

"RIGHT!" (All)

***

Sitting on a bed inside a dark room was a feminine figure, who's head was bowing down with tears streaming down their eyes. They were heartbroken... unable to grasp the situation at hand. This mysterious figure was none other than Athena, the goddess of Battle, strategy, and wisdom, as she had authority of such concepts.

A man she loved has passed today... and she was unable to do a thing about it, even with her authority. She could only watch and cry in unending pain that struck her heart. And now she called out to that man.

"Siegfried... how could they? How could they forsaken you like that Siegfried...? You were a mighty hero... and now you have fallen by betrayal!" (Athena)

She was disappointed at her own kind, hiding her face from her long purple hair that covered her emotions.

"The Sisters of Fate let you die... for their petty reasons on helping the Dragons rather than letting humanity prevail..." (Athena)

Athena stood up with her fist balling up in anger.

"...How could they? HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO YOU?!" (Athena)

She threw her fist forward and collided it against the wall of her mansion, decimating it entirely. 

"...Atropos you traitor! You knew I loved Siegfried during our meeting with lady Everland, AND SO YOU DECIDED TO BETRAY ME AND MY LOVE ENTIRELY!" (Athena)

Servants quickly ran upstairs of her mansion, opening the door to see Athena looking to the outside of Asgard with her entire wall missing.

"L-Lady Athena, what is going on?" (Servant)

One of her servants asked curiously. They were a small girl with blonde hair and braids down her back. She was a human from Midgard, since gods and humans have now made up, and could freely travel to each other's realm whenever.

"Tell me Jennifer, do think we lower gods are treated harshly?" (Athena)

The blonde haired servant by the name Jennifer risen her eyebrows to such a question, not knowing what to say.

"I-I don't believe so Lady Athena... w-well I'm not a god, so I can't exactly say." (Jennifer)

Athena closed her eyes and let out a deep breath as she bowed her head.

"We are a mighty race, but the lower ranked gods such as me are weak in comparison to most that exists in Midgard. Or at least a hand few of them. We can easily be defeated by the likes of heroes and witches, even conceptual weapons. Lady Everland created all 9 realms in Yggdrasil, and she loves it greatly. However I feel as if she dislikes us lower ranked gods and thinks nothing more of us... than just pawns." (Athena)

Athena sighed once more... inhaling the fragrant scent of the outside of Asgard.

"I will leave Asgard... starting today..." (Athena)

Jennifer and the other servants behind her all went quiet, only raising their eyebrows in shock.

"Lady Athena, why must you leave? Life was so great here for you, what is the meaning of this? Can you tell us madam!?" (Jennifer)

Athena turned to face Jennifer with an unreadable expression on her face.

"A man I love has died today Jennifer... and yes, he was a mortal. Ever since he wielded his blade and slayed the mighty dragon Fafnir... my eyes has been set on him forever. I adored him, I wished to always meet him one day... but the sisters of fate has taken that away from me. And now I must suffer... and bawl my eyes out from his death, to a man that doesn't even know me yet." (Athena)

Athena walked over to the side of her room, grabbing her great sword off the racket, and sheathing it behind her back.

"I watched the battle from one of the Branches of Order, seeing his fate be decided. Siegfried was slain brutally by Jörmungandr, and I wish to bring him back... as I will go on a journey to Midgard and receive help from a witch." (Athena)

"A-A witch? You are gonna put your trust in one of them madam?" (Jennifer)

Athena shook her head.

"Yes, she is a powerful witch who shows emotion of sympathy and regret. I could see it in her eyes when Siegfried died. She wanted to kill Jörmungandr but knew she lacked the power to do so." (Athena)

Athena walked over to the hole in her wall, looking to the outside.

"Her name is Grimhild Yorgana, the only witch I seen who's reliable... and trustworthy than the rest of her kind. Perhaps she can help me in bringing Siegfried back from Valhalla." (Athena)

Jennifer approached Athena and took off a necklace around her neck, made with small rocks, and one ruby in the middle.

"Please Lady Athena... take this with you. This necklace was given to me by my father before he passed away, he's always told me it was a blessing passed down from generation to generation in our family... and he said it's powerful enough to even help the gods." (Jennifer)

Athena widened her eyes as she looked at the hanging necklace in Jennifer's hand, slowly reaching to grab it, and pull it up to her face.

"...Jennifer... I thank you. This is something I will keep close to me, in remembrance of you." (Athena)

Jennifer closed her eyes smiling, having a small blush creep up on her cheeks.

"Thank you lady Athena..."

"Mmm..." (Athena)

Athena nodded her head.

"I'll be off girls, take care of yourself..." (Athena)

"We will lady Athena!" (All)

And then the goddess of battle left the scene, making her way to the Bifrost to travel into Midgard.
