Kye sighed, then spoke sternly, "Then that leaves us one option.........."

Cereza raised her brow slightly. "Which is?" She asked.

Kye sighed, "My sister........she could fix it with ease........her power is metal, if she touches it, she can make a stream of that type of metal, and liquify or solidify it.......meaning she could fix your blade in seconds, my only issue, is Zigera likes to shoot at me alot for target practice, and she doesn't miss........"

Cereza's eyes dilated slightly. "She likes to shot you?!"

Kye chuckled as he walked across the battlefield, "Lucky for me, she just used ice rounds on me....hehehehe..........now......where oh where is my dear older sister?" He asked sarcastically. His sister, Zigera, was actually having a drink with her demon friend, Lamia, on a pile of ash which used to be their enemies, both of them torn to shreds from the battle.

"Well being a Fire Dire Wolf, it would be like shooting you with bullets of water."

Kye shrugged, "If I was hit by water by those guns, it would go right through depending on if she wanted it to......Zigera is......a fanatic with guns.........." He stopped as he arrived near where his sister was.

Looking up from her drinking, Zigera asked, "What do you want brother, I'm busy having a drink while my wounds heal........." She lifted up her left arm, which was twisted at the elbow.

"Oh my goodness!" Cereza gasped. "That looks bad! How did that happen?"

Zigera looked at her arm as the tendons began to repair themselves. After a moment, she used her other one to snap it back into placed, though she still had to watch the tendons heal. "Well, Hellknights aren't friendly to me......least I didn't get crucified again......." She took another sip of wine.

Cereza's ears perked forward. "Interesting." She said in awe.

Zigera shrugged, "So why are you two flame pups bothering me?"

serenity held onto her mother, tears streamed down her face
"im soo glad to see you again, i missed you do much"
she looked up at her mother
"so what does this mean, how long are you able to stay?"

chastity opened her eyes and gazed into his
"i think i am madly in love with you and never want to lose you, and i will continue to do anything for you on or off the battlefield "
she smiled wrapping her arms around his neck
"i love you maw"

Mercy set down the Lifeblade, and hugged her daughter close, kissing her upon the forehead, "For as long as I can survive outside of the Heavens, though I'm now the lead Seraphim, so there are many new duties I've been entrusted with.....but when you call, I will always be there to help you my daughter.......and your husband........" She held her close, smiling warmly.

In turn, he held her close.

"When I look in your eyes... all I can think about is how clearly I must be dreaming... because you're perfect, too perfect. I can't stop looking into you, holding you..."

His eyes held her gaze, the amber glowing faintly. He could stare at her all day. All year. All the years. Forever.

"And madly in love? Madly? I am insane with love for you. I cannot think of anything else, I have to think of you in my mind, in the very back of it, you're like a madness, a thrill, an addiction. You make me so... so... weak at the knees..."

He stroked her face gently, nestling into her, relishing her arms around his neck, his eyes never leaving hers, trying to convey how unutterably GOOD it felt to have her here, in his arms, now, and for ever...

"Anything for me? Anything at all?"
He smiled, this time a little wickedly.
"I want you to close your eyes again... I want to play a little game with you..."


Inferno was still confused, and Friend was waiting for an answer.
"What could you be on about? I don't understand!"

Friend sighed.
"Think, Inferno. Put it together. I come back. I come to you. I start getting grey hair, at the same time as your daughter wants to get married. I tell you your daughter is the problem. Well, half the problem... come on, you're not that dense..."

Inferno put it together.

His mouth fell open.

"No... no... not... a... a new Constant!?"

serenity nodded
"i am glad i am able to see you when i want now we can be a part of each others lives even more then before, and i am glad you are the head seraphim, even with the duties but i can stilll see you and that what matter the most is having you in my life now more then ever"


chastity looked up at him and smiled
"a game, what kinds of game"
she closed her eyes and shifted slightly
"is this a fun game?"

He let go of her, stepped away, off the bed.
"It's a very fun game. I learned it when I was very small. It's called "I Love You More.""

He reached out and placed a single finger on her bare leg, starting to trace it up the skin.
"First, I say I love you. Which I do, and always will."
The finger lightly ran up her leg, over her waist up her chest and to her face, caressing the cheek.
"Then you do something that proves to me that you love me more, and you tell me you love me more. I'll start."

He leaned in, his body pressing against hers, and kissed her on the cheek.
"I love you..."

He waited for her response...

Mercy smiled, the picked up the Lifeblade again, "Oh yes, before I forget my dear......." She waved the weapon over Grey, healing the injuries Serenity missed, while also perfecting the gene splicing that was done to him. "Your husband is now as fertile as you, so I'll be able to have plenty of grandchildren now from you both, and he should be much happier now........"

Grey chuckled, painfully standing up.

Cereza folded her arms and looked at Kye. "Well..."

Kye looked to Cereza, "She needs one of her blades fixed."

Zigera sighed, "Alright, hand it here while I'm in a good mood, and while I can't shoot anything."

Cereza pulled out her broken sword, still wrapped in the cloth, and handed it to her.

Zigera took the sword into her hand, and summoned a sphere of metal around it. "Quite an interesting blade......I haven't seen this metal before.....now......." She wrapped the liquid metal around the blade, and began to work.

"Both of my swords were once my great-great grand mother's swords." Cereza explained. "No one in the pack knows how, or where she got them."

chastity kept her eye closed and squirmed as he ran his finger up her leg then waist and touched her cheek, as he placed a kiss on her cheek she smiled and leaned forward to kiss him
"and am i supposed to do this with my eyes closed?"


serenity smiled upon hearing her mothers words then looked at her husband
"i guess we will see how many we have but for now lets start with one"

Mercy smiled, "Well, one is a good start, and I'll be there to witness your daughter's birth too........which makes me happy........."

He watched as she leaned in - then suddenly met her kiss, catching her off guard with a very pleasant surprise.
He kissed her softly, gently, yet at the same time passion burned between them.
He broke it, then took her in his arms and rolled over, so he was underneath her and she was lying on his chest.
"You don't know what I'm going to do. I can surprise you... and I love surprising you..."

Without warning, his hands suddenly stroked her inner thighs, before sliding up her stomach to her chest.
He kissed her neck.
"I love you more... do you...like my surprises..?"

Friend nodded.
"Correct."
Inferno blinked once, then twice, then shook his head in amazement.
"But... that's not possible. How can another Constant be made, it doesn't make sense."

Friend sighed again.
"Think about it this way - I am, in a purely cosmic sense, outdated. The universe has changed far too much for me to be considered the modern Constant any more. So, a new Constant - composed of the new dominant elements of the universe - has to be made."

"So... Chastity and the boy... are going to be... the parents of -"

"The blood of the oldest archangels, the darkest lords of hell, and the simple, often-underestimated yet stunningly powerful blood of humanity. That race that accomplished so much, fought against incredible odds, odds that would put the feats of any archangel or demon to shame in balanced context. Never have such potent bloodlines been mixed together before - some have come close... but they've always lacked the human element, that extra edge to the blade, that could have been their greatest strength. Both angels and demons underestimate humans - when in reality they are as powerful as each other.
Those bloodlines, mixed together, combined with the actual role of Constant, would make their son or daughter - your grandchild - the most powerful being in the entire universe."

Friend sighed. "It's almost a shame I can't let it happen..."
