That was the day that Issei learnt that you never try to beat Zelretch at his own game…he would make you regret it.
Amaterasu sighed as she left the debating Greeks and prepared to head back to her home, having seen all of the fight with the Greeks. While it might have been beneficial for her to stay and talk with them about what they'd just seen, she knew that it would not be welcomed by the Greeks. Hades had made that abundantly clear.
"Amaterasu! Wait!" called a familiar male voice as the Shinto Goddess turned to see Apollo and Artemis rushing over to her.
The Shinto Goddess just frowned, "Apollo, Artemis, is there something wrong?"
The twins shared a quick glance before Artemis spoke up, "we wanted to know if you're going to investigate this new faction."
"Of course, it would be foolish not to," replied Amaterasu in confusion, getting smiles from the two twins.
"Would you let us assist you in your investigation?" asked Apollo with a hopeful expression.
The Shinto Goddess just frowned, "I thought Zeus forbade you from investigating?"
Both the twins had small smirks form on their faces, "technically father said not to interfere with Hades' investigation. But he never said we couldn't forge stronger ties to the Shinto faction," grinned Apollo.
Artemis then took over, "and what better way to do so then to assist you with your investigation?"
Amaterasu sighed in exasperation as she shook her head at the younger Gods, "you two both know that your father will not be pleased if I did that."
"He doesn't need to know, and besides don't you want to get an answer to this mystery to?" argued Apollo, getting a nod of agreement from his sister.
The Shinto Goddess was silent as she evaluated the pros and cons of each choice, 'I could use some help now that I have Tsukuyomi limiting my investigation. Plus it would be good to have someone visit the mortal world and investigate it personally instead of relying on my followers to do it for me.'
"Very well, I suppose I could use some help, but you realize that the chances of meeting the imposter of your champion is slim?" pointed out Amaterasu.
The two Greeks nodded grimly as Apollo replied, "We know but at least this will help set us on the right path to find her."
"So where do we start?" asked Artemis, eagerly.
"The descendant of Cu Chulainn, everything started with him. I want to question him but Tsukuyomi refuses to let me do so as long as he is in the Devil's territory," informed Amaterasu.
"We can get him," assured Apollo, only for the Shinto Goddess to frown at him.
"Don't be so eager Apollo, that boy is under the Godslayer's protection and I don't want to have to explain to Zeus how two of his children were killed," scolded the Shinto Goddess.
"Then we'll take her out first, after all she can't beat the both of us if we work together," argued Artemis, a bow forming in her hand as her brother nodded.
"Did you not hear what I said?" sighed Amaterasu. "There is a reason she is called the Godslayer, Artemis. You must not underestimate Scáthach under any circumstances."
"We will be careful Amaterasu, trust me. No one knows better than us Greeks that Gods are not invincible," reassured Apollo.
The Shinto Goddess frowned before she shook her head again, "if you two are so set on this course of action then very well. I shall keep my brothers distracted from your activities, just promise me one thing."
"And what's that?" asked Artemis.
Amaterasu sent them a worried look, "if the Godslayer proves to be too tough a challenge…then promise me you will run. We can always restart this investigation afterwards but we cannot replace your lives. Do you understand?"
The two twins glanced at each other before nodding, "don't worry Amaterasu, we're not suicidal," stated Artemis.
"Besides the previous times she had been hunting us Gods. It's time for Scáthach to find out what happens when she's the one being hunted instead," grinned Apollo as canine teeth briefly appeared in his mouth.
Le Fay looked down at the city registry in front of her, trying to find everything she could on the Hyoudou family, when she heard a sound behind her. Quickly closing the book she spun around to see her brother emerging from a portal as he walked over to her, the portal closing behind him. Arthur frowned as he handed the two books he was holding over to her and took note of the already closed book on the desk.
"Le Fay is there something wrong? You've been acting odd for a couple of days now," he asked, in concern for his sister.
"Don't worry brother I'm fine, just trying to find out who the descendant of Cu Chulainn is, there can't be many families here with a teen named Issei after all," lied Le Fay as she grabbed the books from him.
Arthur's frown only deepened, "while I appreciate you helping out Le Fay, you've been in here for days, in fact you only come out for food and to ask me to collect books for you. Don't you think it's time you have a break?"
"Don't worry I'm nearly done with my research, thanks for collecting me some more reading material," replied Le Fay with a smile.
"The original, unedited copy of the Pendragon family tree, as well as the complete history of Morgan and Mordred. Not exactly your usual reading material, Le Fay. Why did you want me to steal this from the manor?" asked Arthur, raising his eyebrows in expectation.
Le Fay just laughed, "I decided to learn a bit more about my ancestor, I'm a bit curious about her and you know that I can't exactly stroll in and take it."
"I see," mused Arthur before he gave her another concerned look. "Just promise me that if something's bothering you, you'll tell me. I'm your brother after all."
She gave him a smile and nodded, "I promise."
Arthur gained a relieved expression before he exited the room, leaving Le Fay to sit there in silence, "sorry brother…but I can't get you involved this time."
Le Fay then opened the book on Mordred and Morgan and skipped to the section on the Knight of Treachery. She was then greeted to the sight of a scarily familiar helm on the opening chapter and her heart starting beating faster. Le Fay felt her throat go dry as she thought back to when had first seen pictures of Mordred, the mural of the Battle of Camlann painted in all its horrifying glory.
The mountain of corpses the two Pendragon members fought on, the blood soaked burning fields, the smoke filled sky, but the thing that had burned itself into her mind back then…was the helm of the treacherous knight. She thought that she had made a mistake before with Issei but this book proved it that was definitely the helm of the traitor knight she had seen.
"The Helm of Infidelity, given to the Knight of Treachery by its mother Morgan Le Fay," she read in a soft voice.
How was this possible? Wasn't he supposed to be Cu Chulainn's descendant? How could he have that…unless he was both? After all, he had to have two parents didn't he? Who's to say he wasn't a descendant of both? The chances were slim but not impossible, and thankfully she had all the tools she needed to find out.
Continuing to flip through the book she growled as it made no mention of Mordred siring any heirs, in fact the entire book didn't even have much information on the Knight's personal life. Growling in frustration Le Fay threw the book across the room before taking out the
original family tree, tracing it all the way back to the King of Knights himself.
