Lucius was right, the entire college burned down and it resulted in everyone receiving a 'Pass by Disaster' because the entire college campus was literally and not figuratively, wiped off from the face of the earth. Which lead to a crazy investigation involving Adepts, researchers, scientists because there was bizarre footage of the campus growing a pair of legs and walking away. Another photo showed a figure that snapped the building out of existence.

Kael was trying to understand if the Gods were into divine comedy or were they just reading a bunch of earth made comics and books that gave them the idea of 'Snapping' something out of existence. Kael was unsure how to react to that, but due to everything going missing including all files related to examinations and the entire syllabus has gone missing. Everyone would pass by disaster. It was not easy, trying to wrap his head around all of what has happened.

Who would believe that a literal God just snapped the entire campus out of existence or the campus grew legs to move itself around. Kael was trying to decide if he wanted to laugh or cry at that news report. Kael went to the living room, seeing his family being more relaxed. They were enjoying some TV. Kael notices Ren sitting on Ice Reaper's shoulder while Black Ivy brought drinks for them.

"Seems like you're all getting along." Kael said, then they watched as the door opened with Nelista's whole white outfit being a mess.

"You okay Nelista?"

"Oh just peachy. Saw some horrors on the way to Ren and Jenny's school. Of course I've taken care of it." Nelista said as he walked on over to the bathroom to get cleaned up.

"Horrors?" Ren asked.

"Spooky monsters." Ice Reaper answered the young boy.

"Are they scarier than Ice Reaper?" Kael shook his head.

"Ice Reaper and Black Ivy are scarier than those horrors, so you would not have to worry Ren and Jenny. If I recall... Ice Reaper was the one that took down the army of ice trolls while Black Ivy had taken an entire forest of treants to their end." Nelista said where the two figures nodded.

"They exist?" Lloyd asked, Kael nodded to his father.

"Yeah, which makes my life a bit harder. Nelista the pararnormal barrier is completely gone." Nelista raised his eyebrows to that remark, pursing his lips.

"Nelista?"

"Yeah yeah... Well. That explains the vampires, elves and some of the beastkin. I'll handle them. By the way, why don't you go to the beach?" Nelista suggested.

"Why?"

"Get some rest. Besides Patriarch Webster just gave me tickets to a theme park that we can go for tomorrow. So you might want to go and take it easy." Kael turned to his mother who nodded.

"Yes, Kael. You should go to the beach. Go and relax. We'll just stay at home for today." Kael sighed only to see his swords appear behind him.

"Can we go too?" His usual four, Xuehua and Yueliang Hua, Scarlet Vow, Black Symphony and Radiant Sonata stepped out.

"Sonata. You okay?" Sonata spoke, unlike Black Symphony who had a mature beauty, Sonata was more youthful. A young woman that wore a white blouse and black pants.

"I... I've felt better but thank you... For not leaving me behind again." Radiant Sonata said as Kael grabbed a bag.

"Come on, you lot. Let's go buy you some clothes. Wearing all that to the beach is going to make your clothes all sandy." Kael said as they followed from behind, the moment they got on the bus. People were staring at the group. Of course Xuehua and Yueliang Hua would be the ones that the ladies focus on, two handsome men in Han-fu? What's not to like? Kael was holding onto the rod while Scarlet Vow was leaning on his shoulders.

A moment later, they arrived at the mall.

"So this is what they call as a shopping mall." Kael introduced. Of course to most people it would seem like Kael's Swords were cosplayers with their unique outfits. He went to bring them to the shop, seeing credit cards that was courtesy of Mister Summers and Patriarch Flare. Black Symphony was looking for something. She looked at the one piece with a frill by the shoulders while Scarlet Vow seemed to be bothered by the bikinis.

"These are so skimpy. How would one feel safe?" Scarlet Vow asked.

"Scarlet. Try this." Kael brought her a red one piece swimsuit, it was in deep red but Scarlet had a blush on her face. Clearly she was bothered by it.

"If it's too much, you can always just wear a pair of shorts and a shirt and not play near the waters." Kael said watching Scarlet Vow take the swimsuit then heading into the dressing room.

Yueliang Hua and Baihua were arguing about what their younger sister should wear. Both were holding one piece swimsuits while Baihua ignored them.

"No, I believe our younger sister would look better wearing this white swimsuit!"

"No that is far too tight! It needs to be a little loose! That's why we should this one. Yueliang Hua protested.

"That is worse than what I picked!" Xuehua argued while Baihua just grabbed a white bikini set and headed to the changing room. Radiant Sonata was having a hard time making her decision, then turning to Kael.

"Which one makes you feel the prettiest?" Kael asked, where she pointed to a one piece swim suit that had floral patterns.

"But I'm afraid my sister won't like it." Then Black Symphony stepped out in the one piece, clearly it was hugging her in all the right places.

"Why would I? Wear what you wish my dear sister. I will support you." Black Symphony said as she hugged her sister from behind.

Yueliang Hua and Xuehua went to pick out their outfits, only to see Baihua throw them both a pair of shorts.

"No speedos. If you do that I'll kick both of your asses."

"Okay, meimei." The two brothers replied, Kael thought Baihua was bad but those two are overly protective of their sister.

Kuro Hana took a simple swimsuit while Banshee seemed very disinterested in swimming. Merely taking on some floral clothes to wear for the trip.

The nearest beach was at Miliana Point, white sands that was flooded with people. Kael was definitely the center of attention with everyone staring at the beauties that surrounded him. They searched for a spot, pitching an umbrella for their stuff. Xuehua and Yueliang Hua were completely glaring daggers at anyone that looked at their sister. Baihua went to play with Kuro Hana while Banshee just sat to take care of their stuff. Black Symphony splashed water at Radiant Sonata as they both proceeded to swim. Kael? Well Kael just had a sip of soda as he helped Scarlet Vow ease herself to the water.

"It's the first time... I've seen such nice sand and oceans."

"Well the oceans we were from were always covered in blood so that's understandable." Kael said to her as Scarlet Vow eased herself to the wwater, it was warm and welcoming.

"Hey that girl's pretty cute." A guy spoke as he tried to approach Baihua, only to see Xuehua holding his hand.

"Hey buddy... Just dont get too close to my sister. Or I'll break your bones." Xuehua said with a grin, and it caused the guy to run away in a panic.

Kael sighed.

"Freaking siscons."Kael said, at the very least today will be eventful. Whether it will be fun or not is a different story, he sat in the water with Scarlet Vow, who held his hand.

"I don't need to be married to you, just being able to spend a bit of your day with me like this is enough." Scarlet Vow said, leaning over his shoulder.

"No fair! I want to lean on his shoulder too!" Baihua leaned over Kael's shoulder, then Kael looked to see Radiant Sonata that sat in front of him, then leaning to his chest. Kael then looked at Yueliang Hua nad Xuehua who was glaring at him. Those weren't knives it was like a million blades were floating above Kael's head.

Kael snapped the blades away and signed to the two siscons.

"Try that again and I will throw you both to the next continent." The two brothers grumbled away as they played volleyball with some other ladies.

Baihua did not seem to mind so much, but Yueliang Hua was being hit on by men and women alike. Black Symphony was being hit on, with all the men offering her drinks. Even some women offering her some drinks.

"Good luck getting her drunk." Kael said as they watched the glasses, the bottles of alcohol that had been brought to Black Symphony be empty. Roughly a few dozen bottles. Spending time at the sea like this was relaxing, kael then watched Kuro Hana who invited the others for some volleyball.

Kael then headed back to their spot where Black Symphony and the others joined in. Leaving Kael and Banshee, Banshee had a lot of heavy liquor in her bag, passing one to Kael. Banshee then got up, leaving for a bit because someone else came to say hello. Kael turned to the right, the grizzled figure of a man. If veterans of war were to look like someone, it would look like this figure. Neatly trimmed hair, although he was wearing a pair of shorts and a shirt. Kael could see the pistol that was tucked by his appendix. The figure sat beside Kael with a pair of sunglasses and a baseball cap to his head.

"Lorbis. What brings you on earth?"

"Just a little RnR. I came to just watch what all the fuss was about on earth. The multiple wars where human greed is waged and watching them spend so much money on war. The waepon makers pray to all the 15 Gods of War. Their offerings being the battles themselves and we watch. Most of the Gods had to leave the domain since Lucius was busy trying to unFUBAR the situation."

"FUBAR?"

"Fucked Up Beyond All Repair. It's a saying some soldiers say often. So I just came here. Just came back from watching a few wars happen. We keep telling them not to involve civilians. I don't like innocent people crying." Lorbis said as he popped a beer for Kael and one for himself.

"I heard some of them came down to mess with my life."

"Oh them? Don't worry about it. Aevery the God of Duels had dealt with it personally. Lucius said anything that was a deity or similar that is trying to bother you was open season for us. A lot of the Gods came down to this place. We've never been on earth. The Gods of Smithing are enjoying alcohol and well some of the younger Gods are looking into those idol groups you know so well." Lorbis said it so easily.

"You mean those girl groups and boybands? The Gods are interested in those?" Lorbis seemed embarrassed to even nod to Kael for that matter.

"Yes... And some of us are watching people stream video games and watching a lot of things. The Goddess of Romance is enjoying human romance novels to the point she is writing fan fiction of it... The God of Lust is enjoying the.... Sexual side of the internet and all the things people do. Though I've actually seen the God of Lust be very uncomfortable with what humans have done."

"The God of Lust. Being uncomfortable with human... Fetishes? I... I never thought I'd hear those sentences out of your mouth Lorbis." Lorbis smirked.

"And I never thought I'd say it either but it is what it is. Aerith, the Goddess of Salvation is watching over funeral processions. She is also roaming the battlefields, granting salvation to the many souls that were taken by the same weapons that the Gods of War have given their blessings too. She does it without much thought or question, granting the many souls peace." Lorbis said as they both sipped on their bottle of beer.

"How do you feel about it?" Kael wanted to understand more from Lorbis's thoughts.

"It is in the nature for humans to always be in war but I prefer my wars clean. Not involving non-combatants but watching how these non-combatants pick up weapons and turn into combatants... Awakening their primal nature to desire the death of their enemy. I cannot help but be amazed and unsure of how to feel about that." Lorbis spoke up as he let out a grin.

"Only thing the Gods can do on earth. Is watch. We have our immortality but we can only watch. Can't do a damn thing. I mean, hell I can see why the 21 Gods of Peace are pissing their pants because nobody in politics are even talking... Sorry, Kael. Seems I'm rambling to you." Lorbis said as he passed Kael a cigar.

"It's fine, Lorbis. I mean I just destroyed a place that worshipped you. This is the least of my worries." Kael lit the cigar for Lorbis first then only for himself.

"When you leave a path of destruction, it always seems to bring something else with it. Hope and change. The people of Marchen are reorganizing to become better. Allensphere Metropolis is stopping its facade of being a utopia and going to focus on being honest with its citizens. I wish I could understand the madness of your actions." Lorbis puffed the smoke out of his mouth.

"I don't know. Most of the time I try not to repeat my actions but humans can be unpredictable." Lorbis nodded to Kael's words with a grin.

"Understandable." Lorbis said as the two of them sat by the beach chain smoking cigars and chugging on alcohol while the others played volleyball.
