When the night fell and all the guests had arrived, Caspian joined them at the dinner table, having one last meal with the people he got to know in this world.
They all happily chatted as they reminisced about their endeavours over the years.
It was mostly Volos and Caspian chatting and sharing some laughs, whilst the other Mortal Gods listened to what they had to share.
"Don't stay here for long." The Inheritor of Poseidon lightly smiled at Volos.
Having known him the longest in this world, he was aware of the attachments his old acquaintance, who could be considered his friend, shared with this world. And today, he felt that he needed to advise him about it.
"The Heavens have a lot to offer." He did not say anything more, and Ian lightly nodded his head, not in the mood to talk about it.
Caspian took his silence as his refusal to listen and then did not raise the matter again.
He just hoped that Volos would not ruin himself, wallowing over the past.
"It's time." The Inheritor of Poseidon stood up and smiled at his guests, and everyone respectfully stood up as well and followed him to the lawn at the back of the Mansion.
Keith, Kiara, Minami, and Yingying stood a little away from the rest, and after Caspian greeted everyone one last time, he approached them.
"I hope we will see each other soon." He smiled.
"We will see each other again." Keith smiled back and shook his hand. "Be safe."
"I will." He nodded and then politely bowed to the ladies by his side. "Farewell!"
Kiara excitedly watched when Caspian started levitating in the air, closing his eyes and raising his head to face the sky.
Time passed, and eventually, red streaks of lighting started flashing around his body, and then a massive portal appeared in the sky with dark revolving clouds that thundered.
All of a sudden, the red streaks of lighting around his body started binding him up, and then he was struck by a massive bolt of the Law of Judgement and Space.
When the light subsided, Caspian was gone, and the portal in the sky slowly started closing.
"What would happen if someone jumps in it?" Kiara asked as she watched the portal close.
"They will die with the Spatial Force shattering their body into innumerable pieces," Keith replied, and those who were around, could not help but wince at the thought.
"So, those red streaks of lighting also protect the subject?" She guessed, but Keith only smiled, not answering her question.
He turned to look towards Volos, who happened to be looking his way, and they both nodded to each other.
Sometime later, when the guests left, only Keith and the girls remained at the Mansion, and Kiara was heartily laughing as she read the letter and papers Poseidon left behind.
"Rebecca told Caspian to transfer all his properties to her before he leaves this world!"
"I know." Keith smiled at her, shaking his head. "Well, now we have this place all to ourselves." He playfully smiled, and Kiara beamed a smile at him.
"Can we stay here for a couple of days?" She requested, but he shook his head.
"Well will come back here some other time. Some things require my attention back in Netheria."
She pouted at his words but also nodded her head.
"I will hold you on that promise."
"Of course." He chuckled at then stood up from the couch, stretching his limbs and walking towards the door.
He signalled to Yingying to stay behind, and his Shadow obediently nodded her head.
On the beautiful white beach on the other side of the island, a lone man stood, staring at the sky, lost in some deep thoughts.
"Contemplating on Caspian's words?"
A sudden voice pulled him out of his train of thought, and his heart skipped a beat in fear.
He had not felt anyone approach him, and now someone was standing on his left, only a couple of feet away.
"Yes." Volos finally answered as he glanced at Keith, and then lowered his head, relaxing a little. "I have been thinking about it since the last time we talked. And as much as I want to deny it, a part of me does yearn to experience everything that life has to offer."
"Everyone yearns for it to an extent, but their hardships, guilts, and sorrows plague their lives, depriving them of the opportunities or making them too blind to spot them." He smiled. "And Time heals everything, provided that you are willing to let it help you when it presents you with the opportunities. If not, you will just keep losing interest in everything around you, and there might come a point in life where you might start to believe that your existence is meaningless. A true tragedy, especially for someone as talented as you."
"And this is my opportunity? To leave this world forever?"
"Yes." He smiled.
"You are only saying these words to me because you want me to live to serve you, Lord Erebus." Ian lightly smiled.
He remembered the words Keith had said to him the last time they had talked.
"At least, I want you to live." He shrugged. "And you are only useful to me if you can live up to your talent, so I mean what I have said to you."
Volos stayed silent at his words and then raised his head to look at the sky again.
"I don't think I like the idea of serving someone." He commented. "I am the Inheritor of Volos, after all. A Wandering God."
Keith smiled at his words and then turned around to leave.
"Time shall tell."
He left those words, making Ian frown at them, and then returned to the Mansion where the girls were waiting for him.
"You did not answer my question." Kiara reminded him as soon as he entered the lounge, and he quizzically raised his brow before he realised what she was talking about.
"Yes, those shackles protect the subject, but they don't exactly pull the subject into the portal. The moment the bolt of Judgement lands on you, the Law of Space whisks you to your destination. It happens even faster than you can blink."
"Oh..."
"As for jumping into the portal, yes, you will die as the Spatial Force will shatter your body into innumerable pieces, but if by any chance you survive, you will land in the Great Void for an indefinite time before you can find an opportunity to get out. No Mortal can survive in the Void, but there are always some exceptions." He lightly said. "But then kicks in the real problem. If you are lucky enough to find an opportunity to escape the Void, you might land anywhere, in any world, or even someplace where only death awaits you."
The girls listened to his words and got lost in their thoughts. As if on cue, both Minami and Kiara turned to look at each other at the same time, and then they happily smiled before they excused themselves to their room.
"Don't do it." He stopped them, and they both looked at him in surprise.
"What?" Kiara smiled and asked.
"Do not experiment with your magic. Especially the Spacial Magic." He seriously said, and his little sister pouted.
"Okay." She nodded and then smiled at Minami. "We will test something else then." Her mischievous grin made Keith sigh in his head, but he did not stop them this time.
If they wanted to learn more and experiment with their magic, it only meant that they had the desire to improve and grow stronger. And he could not deprive them of it.
Besides, he knew that they were wise enough to not try anything dangerous after the warning he had just given them.
"Come." He looked at Yingying, who was silently sitting on the couch, and she obediently followed him to the room that was prepared for him. "Take off your clothes." He ordered as soon as they entered the room and he locked the room with his magic.
Yingying understood what he wanted and obeyed his command, working out of her clothes, and then approached him, helping him take off his clothes as well.
He amusedly smiled at the blush that crept on her face in anticipation, and he gently lifted her chin before leaning in and capturing her soft lips.
She moaned in his mouth when he clawed on her bubble butt, and with one swift motion, he picked her up in his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist.
"Ahn~" Yingying gasped when he forcefully pushed himself inside of her, threatening to break past her cervix as he filled her to the brim.
Soon she found herself pinned against the wall as he ravaged her insides, making her moan and scream to the intoxicating and mind-numbing pleasure that jolted through her body.
She always liked it rough, and she loved it when he ravaged her body like a beast as he was doing right now. And it was even better when he threw her on the bed and then mounted her from behind, making her legs go weak as he refused to stop and kept hammering her cervix rather painfully.
Just like always, she failed to keep count of how many times he made her jump off the peak throughout the night.
When the battle ended, she clung to him like a little kitten, peacefully asleep with her head resting on his chest.
