Manami POV

I woke up and stared at Ember who was sitting at my side in seiza. Awkward is the only word that comes to mind as she's sitting there staring at me. Wait don't stare at me so intensely. I sat up quickly as I turned away from her smiling face.

"About this god Aist you mentioned can you tell me more."

"Aist the god of nature, creation and destruction. Loves manipulating and control. He's a control freak. No one knows why but he's the most unreasonable and unreliable amongst the gods. Many mortals has labeled him as a liar and more chaotic than his younger sister Yami. She's the goddess of chaos and life. Yet she's a fair and reasonable goddess to know more of Aist answers are with her. Looking for her can give you more results than you think if you want to look for the god that changed me to a mini version of him cause he wanted control over something he saw as a threat." (Ember)

I still want to get Everistel but I'll get to the stupid god first since I'm already on their planet. I'm sure Yumi did nothing wrong by just being reborn.

"Calm down your leaking miasma, a goddess isn't supposed to leak something a demon gives off." (Ember)

"Wait you two have you forgot about me or were you two going to keep ignoring me." (Jessica)

"You were here."

Both me and Ember blinked as we looked at the vampire Jessica. I'm sorry but you like blend in so well with the lamias that I forgot you were a servant of mine.

"Wait Manami why are you giving me that pitying look like it's not your fault." (Jessica)

"But it's not. It's cause we're inside the lamia's nest your presence is kinda thinned out so we have to concentrate hard to notice you."

"That kind hurts. But your saying I give off a similar sense as the lamias aren't you." (Jessica)

"It's not like one. Rather to put it into real words, their miasma they leak out is unique and different but it kinda makes your body blend into the very essence of their nest. So staying in this level is bad for you. Staying too long might actually thin out your existence towards us or in another word is our awareness to see you."

"Isn't that bad, tell me that before you decide to stick to somewhere too long." (Jessica)

"But it does look bad for you since Manami is a vampire and your lord as well as her hearing is great so if she can't perceive you it just means the miasma here can affect you to a abnormal rate." (Ember)

"Hiss." (Why don't you also head to the floor below the volcano one. It's a snow demon's village. Great place to hibernate for me too.) (Gena)

My eyes twinkle, I want to see snow it's decided we're heading there. Then I'll come back to check on Tear after a week unless I forget from playing too much from the snow.

Yami POV

I landed perfectly before changing back after Kazuki got off my back. I'm not even able to look at her straight as my head was steaming from the thought that she just proposed to me without caring. And she didn't mind the idea at all. That reminds me though Stein is married to mother she doesn't even allow him to. (Ride her back, his request to do so pisses of her.) Mother allows father, but he doesn't do it often, only on their anniversaries does he allow her request. Those two idiotic love birds, mother has a amulet that father gave her when he proposed to her. She did divorce the wind god Stein. Stupid humans recorded that she's married to Stein cause of it. Her stupid father appeased her to stay married with the wind god and marry father at the same time.

But by doing so mother no longer goes home which had Stein move in. She also avoided her father. He wasn't allowed to her domain, visits and presents were all denied. Grandmother Yan the goddess of sun and summer couldn't even convince mother to allow her to see grandfather. When she tried mother threw a tantrum. As a goddess of the sky it went bad for the mortals too. Since her stupid father had asked humans and many other race to depict her husband (my father) Riku as the bad god that took her away from Stein who cared and loved her.

The world saw her wrath, fully a disaster she took 59,000 years of coaxing from grandmother Yan to let it stop. Why am I remembering this you ask I just landed on the Phoenix floating island, so I reminisced on mother. Grandmother Yan had to go tell the truth in person to all race it was because her stupid husband being unreasonable. Now mother won't even allow grandfather to see us his grandkids, except Aist. She said he's his father Stein's responsibility not hers. When asked you could see she really wanted to cause another rainstorm. She sent down a tornado, blizzards, floods and droughts cause her anger. Not exactly the best family but that is mostly due to grandfather. Mother doesn't allow me to meet aunties kids either. She said something along the line don't need you to meet that sly slut's sons. For some reason landing here on the island got me depressed more.

"What's wrong Yami." (Kazuki)

"Nothing just landing here on the island reminded me of mother's fit to get back at 'grandfather', I never met him but just thinking about him made me very......" (Yami)

"Uncomfortable, pissed, angry, hatred and disappointment." (Kazuki)

"Yep. He's a disappointment as a grandfather. Mother's name is Aletheia. It means truth. Grandmother Yan names her. Grandmother is actually more of a honest person and is actually the one that makes the most decisions but when she was gone grandfather married mother without discussing it with her. It did annoy her since she knew mother liked my father." (Yami)

"They're still in a stale marriage now aren't they. It was his stupid side but I bet he most be frustrated since all the goddesses are also steering clear of him since they don't want to feel the wrath of Yan." (Kazuki)

"Grandmother did announce to all gods and goddesses anyone who so much is caught with him is doing more than manual labor. She's going to permanently transfer them to minor god jobs or make them work with elementals for their whole life. And those that wish to have a relationship with him is sent directly to the spirit world for your father to judge." (Yami)

"Ouch the death sentence to a god or goddess on that last part, them becoming a spirit is demoting even them. But he did marry her own daughter off without her permission as soon as she's gone. Though how long has it been of this marriage." (Kazuki)

"No clue mother counts her father's and mother's marriage it isn't mine to worry about." (Yami)

I slowly stopped by the maze garden, Aries made these flowers into what they were today. I see the rose bridge arch. A smile spreads on my face but it's a sad one.

"1st sister what's this one." (Little Dia)

"That's the Hibsi, the orange lily its known for the poisonous liquid it can produce. It's very widely used by many for its honey like pollen. The poison that the flower can create is paralyzing effects, it can freeze your whole body up except your tongue." (Aries)

"Poizon? What's that." (Little Dia)

"You'll understand when you get older. So don't go touching it too much okay Dia." (Aries)

"Then this red one what's it called." (Little Dia)

"The Yvneete it's a green rose. It's known for its potency to kill even a dragon with just a single thorn. The flower itself is gleaming right, it's also known as the blinding herb. It's use is also deadly to people if used wrong, permanently blinding them or used as an antidote." (Aries)

"What about this purple one." (Little Dia)

"Purple Amaryllis. Known for its tragic love story. The angels of the old. The three sisters love for each other, a former angel who turned a demon when her sister was alive as a human. The 2nd eldest was a human princess until she was betrayed by her own brother for his lover. She ended up dying and became an angel. Their youngest sister sadden by her two sisters death couldn't stand it and soon followed. But there was never peace even where they went." (Aries)

"Why is that sister." (Little Dia)

"You wouldn't understand Dia your just 13 right now right." (Aries)

"But I'm old enough to call you old lady and understand words. What do you mean by peace never happened wouldn't they be happy since they got to see each other again." (Little Dia)

"Listen Dia the reason why I said it's a tragic story is because she never got to live peacefully with her sisters, as the youngest she couldn't do anything back then as human. As a angel she hadn't power since she was 4 pair of wing angel. A angel is held by ranks too 1 pair of wings can raze 1 or 2 cities. 8 winged and more are considered disastrous in strength they can destroy worlds if they so wished to. Her 1st eldest is a demon, her 2nd sister was a angel like her." (Aries)

"Sister what's wrong with them being angels aren't they good." (Little Dia)

Aries shakes her head in disappointment as she looked at Dia and picked up the flower.

"This is the story of the 1st generation angels as well as history. Little one. Remember this, this tale tells you the ugly truths. That love exists for even those pitiful souls. A lesson to never be forgotten by us and millions others. For us to forget them is our wrong. As a demon the 1st and 2nd had to fight wars against each other. Heavens and the hells were at odds at each other. The youngest pleaded her sisters to stop. Yet they didn't listen. The 2nd was used by her god that ruled their heavens as a baby farm due to the low birth rate of the angels that was lost to the wars that dragged on. The 1st sister was threaten into the next war, the youngest sister argued with her 2nd sister why she had listened to the god. Her answer was isn't because he was the god of their heaven. Angered at the death to her sisters due to the war she went to kill both the god and the devil that ordered her sisters to their deaths." (Aries)

"How was that sad, that was cruel! They just wanted to be at peace with each other." (Little Dia)

"Before she killed the devil, she bled these flowers into being. For her sisters, after killing the god first she went to kill the devil on his dying breath he sealed her inside someone who will later be born into the far future. No one knows where she is but these flowers were used to honor her sisters and their story. We do know one thing from this story it's their sisterly love that made them not able to pass into the reincarnation cycle. While the youngest is probably something out there or in someone else. These flowers have flowed through the history. They've lived and saw change through the years they're older than us." (Aries)

"That's not a sad story that's just a cruel thing to happen. Why can't they be together. How are angels back then so stupid." (Little Dia)

Dia turned to her sister to see her sister's wry smile. Her beautiful caramel colored hair glowed in the sun light as her sister just shook her head disappointed.

"By the way the angels are in their 48 generation right now." (Aries)

"But they're bad people right." (Little Dia)

"Depends on how you see them."

"Wait why'd it just play out a memory here." (Kazuki)

"You don't know about it. I'll explain it's a memory crystal, they can replay actual past events that someone had. Whereas a memory gem can show you and make you re experience a certain person's memories but that will alter your personality. Memory crystals are also known for historical event logs or recordings. This one is special it replays Aries memory that she stored. It's something she cares about since she always hides them in her garden so she'd remember them. You see when a Phoenix soul starts fading they start to forget, that's when they're about to die from old age. Aries said these memory crystals can be set up in case it happens to her. So she placed them in places she loves. This one is but only one of them. That one you saw was me with her. I as Dia with pink curly hair that she would tie up my hair and teach me about the world." (Yami)

"But she never needed it because she didn't die of old age, instead she died to the arrows you sisters shot at her." (Kazuki)

I didn't say anything more but was surprised to be tackled by a hug to my waist. Confused I blink and tilt my head to Kazuki. The one that tackled me in the waist is a 14 year old girl with silver hair and wearing a kimono. But the bottom half is black so it's a noble girl. I don't know her.

"You're finally back Dia. (Hic) I finally got to saw (hic) Dia again. It's me your older sister Claria, I've (sniffle) been waiting (hic) for you to come back. It's been (hic) 300 million years since then. I met sister Aries after her death after 3 million years. She was a angel then but brother changed her." (Claria)

"Wait then what I saw your number of reincarnation right now." (Yami)

"My 67th. By the time I met sister she's been to other worlds she already passed her millionth reincarnation and stopped counting. She has powers and abilities of her previous incarnations. Yet because of brother Ridus she changed too much. His self justice was so strong yet his denseness and stupidity led her to change her race to a devil." (Claria)

"Wait what do you mean by that sister is alive and well now isn't she." (Yami)

"When we wounded her back then the one who saved her was our half brother Ridus. With a forbidden art. But that very thing was wrong sure it healed her mostly but she still died due to the wounds we gave her back then, brother was with her for most of her reincarnation yet. He'd kills her if her reason or logic does go along with his. When I met them I asked him what he did to her. He said in her life before this one as a angel he killed her cause she went insane too, she was reborn as a human living peacefully yet her family and the villagers were killed due to her not wanting to use her powers. When she ran rampage he said he killed her himself. But when I asked what happened in the village he said he protected her." (Claria)

Ack my former older sister Claria inside a 14 year old clicked her tongue.

"I'm very sure in that situation it was better to have let her die instead of being traumatized. He shouldn't even kill her because her insanity won her, he should've let nature take its course." (Kazuki)

"I was angered to hear it from him. He didn't wish for her to change, his exchange and reasoning led sister to close off to us. If anyone can get through to her I'd bet it be you sister Dia. He said he also killed her for killing those he judged as good men. Or when she's close to killing someone." (Claria)

"Wait aren't those reasons cutting it close. Sister should live how she wants." (Yami)

"She is now but as a immortal devil. She went to the graveyard of the angels and demons. The same one of those three sisters she told you of." (Claria)

"Wait she told me when I was 200 years old as Dia it's also known as the Devil's trial grounds cause it changed a person's race." (Yami)

"Do you remember the names of the three sisters." (Claria)

"What's this you two are talking about." (Kazuki)

"You see no one outside us Phoenix has the records of those three angel sisters as we call them written down. Hina the 2nd sister, former human princess of Rinestia kingdom. The demon Hima who was a former angel. Setsuna the youngest of the sister. Setsuna was special she was a being feared and revered among us Phoenixes. An ancient and mystical beast lineage she unlocked that even her human heritage had long forgotten laid in her you see. We have more records of her than her own sisters, Setsuna unlocked the long lost life dragon bloodline and the destruction Phoenix. This Phoenix is said to be found in the beginning. Unlike us they're undying, their memories don't fade."

"Sister why do you sound so solemn about that." (Yami)

"Because you're also the same as her. Meaning somewhere in our lineage it was lost. But yet you unlocked that lineage after your death." (Claria)

"Why do you sound so sad about it." (Yami)

"You see I got a bit too curious about Setsuna so I did some researching of my own on why she died even though she unlocked that heritage and ended up as angel afterwards like her sister. See the thing is you have to emotionally unstable, depression and anger at the same time and in a similar situation as her. Which in your case it was close since you had in a way lost older sister Aries. But the reason why she died was depression so was yours and you both killed yourselves somehow to unlock it. Though in her case she purposely waged war against her best friend's country and had her best friend kill her. Yours was more direct, just straight out stabbing your neck out." (Claria)

"Seriously what's wrong with you Phoenixes and suicide through stabbing the neck the other one was like that too. When she got arranged marriage to the dragons but failed instead she lost her voice." (Kazuki)

"But sister why do you sound sad and not excited about it though they're powerful." (Yami)

"Here's the catch you get dimensions hunting you down." (Claria)

Ack those monsters. They're worlds fueled by the people and will living inside them. They came into being and are like people but they're a special case they can change race and appearance based on what race are inside them. They're always female. 99.9% birth rate is females, Dimensions are monsters that are considered worlds disasters. Angering one is worst for you they can easily erase you.

"Why is that." (Yami)

What I had to ask why they were after them. (Destruction Phoenixes.)

"Here's what I got the destruction Phoenixes existed before 1st gen Dimensions. During the time known as 0 Dimensions as the correct term is called. These monsters that were known as 0 dimensions ended themselves in a war, reason unknown but the records said the origins of the destruction Phoenix were from that time. To look for answers you have to look there. But I'm saying that's your only choice since your being hunted down you just never knew. That's also the reason we were looking for you. Also if your looking for Izumi I suggest you look for the Phoenix named Yumi, she was last seen in a war 900,000 years ago. But I'm sure she died. Sister's whereabouts are with that girl. She's your key. Also she might be the only thing to keep you alive, well that was the only thing I can tell. Do your best to not die."

"Sister what is our world called I don't mean the planet, you seem to know more than I do." (Yami)

"Ugh I have to start there. Fine this'll be common sense for you to learn I'll say this only once, then you'll know why there exists Dimensions."

"What we lived in is called a world, it's many worlds within our world but to go to them you have to go through a world portal those are hard to find. But to know more about the truth of worlds you have to go see them for yourselves. Then there's two special families. That exist inside our worlds these two are the Midori and Hidori families. These two family protect the secrets of the worlds, they're a family that descended from two twins but grew apart and are now fighting. The Midoris specializes in techniques, the Hidori is the family that specializes in weapons." (Claria)

"But know this there is Realms which is above where we live in these worlds. Realms are special, they exist on a different planes. Realms has existing worlds in the skies flying too high can lead you to other worlds. These realms have stronger races, beings and many that don't exist here. These realms are known as demonic compared to our worlds. Guess you going there is like this example here is considered easy mode, throwing you there is like hardcore mode without reviving. Think of it like that. There exists the Nightmares, we call them dreameaters. Since that's what they do but more, they eat a person in the dream like a parasite and replace them. There's also terms of words they use but it's not like you'll use them. Holy beasts exist there also."

"Let's see if I was to draw how things look it's like this. Realms > Worlds > Dimensions > Planes > dreams. Moving on Planes is a world too but why we called it a plane is because it starts from the edge of an abyss then there's the cliff of human houses built into the wall of that cliff. After that is a grass plains, then there's villages and long distance of grass plains, then cities and towns. There exists all kinds of weird unseen in this place. It's a hard place to fall to unless you have the worst luck."

"Dreams, pathways is the best term to describe it. There's only one person that is always day dreaming that our sister knew. Rachel, she's still alive even now along with her siblings. Rachel is a pure angel out of her 5 twin sisters." (Claria)

"You sound very annoyed by the fact she's daydreaming all the time." (Yami)

"She's a seer. Though she daydreams, her body draws events she saw in the past, present or future. She doesn't respond much to anyone. Her family is a family of 100 siblings. Her father was the lord of the neither world. Her mother is what you call a pure angel (100% angel no human meaning she's not a human before that nor does she have mixed blood). The 5 twins are Sera, Isabella, Rachel, Erica, and Nami. The first two I mentioned are technology geniuses. Sera is a wolf demon like her father, Isabella is wolf demon and angel, Erica is a half wolf demon. Nami is half angel, and Rachel is a pure angel."

"Ack but you said she's daydreaming all the time what does that have to do with the dreams as you mentioned." (Yami)

"Naive. The dreams are what humans used for black ritual summons girl. Rachel is day dreaming all the time her state is always like that. So whatever humans or other race use black ritual or summonings those creatures come from the dreams, there's a price to pay for those things to come to our worlds remember this, nothing about them is good. Also dimensions can't go to realms, this is harder for them to do. Easier for us as people but if I were you I wouldn't bet on it. Going to hardcore mode is crazy there are also other things I don't know about some race there so my knowledge isn't all there is to it. Like 10% of it is what I might know about Realms. So do be careful if you want to traverse there. But if you're going to a dimension try not be discover but that'd be like impossible."

I know they'd sense if I went in I'm not that suicidal sister don't give me the pitying look like I'm naive and Kazuki why are you giving me a sympathetic look.

"So you're barely learning all this now." (Kazuki)

That stings, don't look at me like that. Dimensions can only be girls if they give birth to a male by normal means too it's impossible for it to become a dimension. Dimensions are fueled by the worlds and the people inside is what gives them power, it's also what brought them into being.
