Mana: Before The Rise 245 Odore Garden 6

Rachel's shadows clashed with Heron's sword, Azdis and Nancey took care of the surrounding area. To keep the damage to a minimum. As for the other G.o.ds and G.o.ddess, and anyone else around they either calmly cleared the area. While some just decided to spectate with soda and popcorn.

Cause, Why not.

"It's been awhile since a had exercise like this Sister-in-law." Heron said with a smile, as his sword piece and cut through shadows.

"Of Course, I am strong" Rachel said proudly, As she waved her hand roughly.

Just to let you all no the building in Odore Garden are reinforced, so anything they do won't leave a dent, but maybe a speck of dirt. Azdis and Nancey who are focused on damage control are only worried that if Rachel happens to get serious, they need to be ready for it.

It took a moment to realize that Heron was leading her away. Rachel, went pale. 'Not good, he told me to wait by the building. No, I don't want to be scolded' she panicked and ran back.

"Hey, we aren't done." Heron yelled, and quickly chased after her pulling sword slashed and using the energy to keep her off course.

While Rus.h.i.+ng back Rachel caught glimpse of her reflection, she almost froze but didn't want to stop in case if her darling walked out and she wasn't there. But, the image didn't leave her mind, her expression in the reflection was nothing more than extreme 'disgust'.

When she saw the hotel in view she drove the image to the back of her mind. And pulled on a flushed expression, just as Adonis walked out with a women on his arms.

"I'm so sorry darling, I ended up getting a carried away" Rachel rushed completely ignoring the women on his other-side.

"Who's this?" said the women with a frown.

"No one important." Adonis said as he winked.

Rachel's face brightens as she said nothing, he had taught those signals. So she immediately knew what to do.

"Sis" Nancey whispered in worried, Azdis and Heron where just silent.

"Well, if this isn't Little Nancey" Said the women by Adonis side.

"Maine" Nancey breathed out as she recognized the G.o.ddess of Pa.s.sion known as Maine.

"Well, this must be your high-ranking husband." The G.o.ddess face twisted with jealously as she bit her lip. "Moving up in the world, doesn't change whether you're a mortal or not does."

Nancey gave off a hurt expression. It because her personality used to be a bit thought, then again given that her child was….

"Watch who you are talking to." Azdis said as he extended his pressure.

Maine went somewhat pale but became defensive. "What, all I did was speck the truth." Adonis said nothing as he looked at Nancey, his observing eyes seemed to be taking in whether or not he can obtain her. Don't Forget Adonis is Ishtar champion, conquest even if it's difficult.

Nancey was his type Afterall.

Azdis looked at the man and stood in front of Nancey protectively, he was ready to brawl if this man looked at his wife like that again.

Rachel was froze, her sister was insulted and called a bed-climber by the women in her darlings arms. She wanted to defend her little sister. But, didn't want Adonis to yell at her for interfering with his work.

"Disgusting" said a raging female voice. "She's your sister, NO man should come between family."

But Rachel pretended she didn't hear, as multiple voice where trying to spring out. They where upset more then anything a lot of them just couldn't stand by. She tried to focus, the voice couldn't do anything other then talk

Heron was watching the inner battle on the face of his Sister-in-law, for a moment he saw her inner pride and disgust surface before being pus.h.i.+ng back.

"My Sister is a man-hater, even if she falls in love she would never let a man control her or make decisions that she doesn't like. So, even if mother where to successfully get her to fall in love. There is no way she'll take it being one-sided her pride won't allow something like that." Heron remembered, his wife's words

"Sister-in-law" Heron slowly said with a serious, drawing Rachel's attention. "Are you not going to do anything?"

"Azdis, will protect her" Rachel said immediately, but she looked rather pale and felt guilty.

"…." Heron didn't feel like saying anything.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!" Yelled Azdis as he grabbed Adonis hand and shoved it back. Rachel and Heron had both scene it, Adonis smugly touched Nancey without thinking about the consequences. It was a place that was hard to dismiss as an accident

Nancey suddenly felt a bit of her own pride well-up she was also ready to brawl.

'Nancey, I can't believe it. How could she sedu-' Just as Rachel was thinking that her thoughts quelled and only one clearly heard voiced out. In the most vicious voice she had ever heard.

'SAY IT, I DARE YOU.' It snapped, the voice she recognized as her own, was twisted and full of malice. It was like pent up hatred had pilled the voice would let her speak for move.
