"Mr Vestic," Keele stood after Sol walked out of the room leaving Ikaris with Arla and Dina.
"Is she alright?" She asked; although their power had been isolated to a small space the woman had been exposed to the nigh fullness of their power and it was horror, Ikaris's power left the world and atmosphere trembling in fear, and Sol's power which suppressed it had caused every fibre of her being to tremble in horror; simply staring at him caused her to shiver.
"Do you actually care?" He regarded her with ta hostility balling his fists with an expression of irritation.
"I have placed my life in yours and your wife's hands, sir, if sothing is troubling her it is also going to trouble ..." Keele answered seriously and Sol scoffed and continued walking.
"I'm going to fulfil my promise and get your people out of harm's way, then, I'll let you live amongst them as I said I would, but should the day co-"
"Understood, I'm ready to fight for you at a mont's notice, Sir." Keele stood and saluted, then hesitated and quickly dropped her hand to her side and cleared her throat. "I promise I won't let you-"
*Thump*
Sol vanished, leaving the ground he was walking on steaming in his wake.
"...down," Keele finished her declaration and looked to the slightly cracked door again, stepping across the hall and knocking on it. "Is there anything I can help with?" She asked after Arla acknowledged her presence then ca and pulled it open.
"I am sorry, but could you wait elsewhere in the anti?" Arla gave her a slight gesture of apology. "You can roam wherever you please, you're free to go anywhere until soone calls upon you; Milady requires quiet today," she explained and Keele nodded and gave her a small bow excusing herself without another word.
"Ikaris, we all observed his mories together, there's nothing in there, isn't it possible that it's soone else that sohow attacked you?" Dina asked, sitting next to Ikaris and lightly pressing her hand on the scar casting [Divine Heal] over her skin and cleansing it entirely. "Master would never..."
"I would never allow anyone else to attack , I do not know how, and I am confused about why, but I am positive it was him, Dina, I could never mistake his mana for that of anyone else's, I felt it, I felt him when I held his hand begging him to forgive , he..." She sucked in a breath when Arla sat on her other side. "It was him..."
"Master has gone above and beyond to keep you safe, why would he suddenly attack you?" Arla asked, confused. "It makes no sense."
"And yet I had the scars to prove it."
"No matter how you say it and how sure you are; the sol Vestic we know and love would never," Dina shook her head and sighed, depressed as she shared Ikaris's mood.

[Master,]
Alpha called to him and then appeared at Sol's side after he exited the infinity loop and took it within himself. "Is it possible you erased your own mories ?" She asked and Sol stared down at her furiously causing her to recline and lower her gaze.
"I'd never attack her, Alpha, never in a billion years; any animosity I held towards Ikaris died the day she brought back to earth; she gave herself to , body and soul, how could I take advantage of her?" He asked and the system nodded and floated to his side when he began moving through the void.
"Then, could it be a manifestation of her fears coming to life sohow?" She asked and he gave it a minute of thought before shaking his head.
"No, that was a real stab wound, she truly was attacked, and she was attacked with my weapon; I just don't know how or why," Sol admitted. "I didn't do it, but I can't prove my innocence, she looks at with fear in her eyes and I can't assure her that I'm not the one who did it, nor can I tell her it won't happen again, it was , but it wasn't."
"You have found yourself in quite a precarious position, Master," Alpha sighed and slowly vanished. [I will seek answers and try solving this matter while you are occupied with the Emporium, should sothing happen or catch my attention I will imdiately inform you] she spoke in his head and then left him to his thoughts.
Now alone Sol's expression slowly turned foreign, he ground his teeth and clenched his fists knocking himself on the head in an attempt to try and think of a solution, trying to figure out what had happened; but the more he thought the less his mind worked and the more he rembered the fear in her eyes, Ikaris had never once feared him for any reason at all.
"I hurt her."
"I'd never!"
"She was stabbed with a weapon that only I can summon and control."
"I didn't do it..."
"But what if I did?"
"She's the most precious -"
"Don't lie!"
Sol felt the void creeping in on him, squeezing against him, crushing his body and sleeping into his skin like cold tal against a fresh wound, burning his insides and making his blood boil.
"I'm not lying, I love her, I'd never!" Sol scread out unleashing an explosion that caught several surrounding galaxies in a bright flash and then rapidly subsided back into his body as he stared at his destination, eyes blazing gold, hair weightlessly waving at the stars, and the circles before and behind him appearing disproportionately massive before shrinking down to their original size in loud cosmic pops.
"What if she's not safe around anymore?" Sol slumped forward grinding his teeth until blood started floating away from the corners of his mouth.
"What if I blacked out and that's why I don't rember?"
"No, don't think of it right now, focus, Sol!" He angled himself and started moving again propelling himself so fast that his form vanished in a straight line of light like a Lazer had been fired off into the cosmos.
It happened in the blink of an eye, the generals were all made aware of a massive spike in Godslayer energy the likes of which nobody had ever seen, and then just as quickly as it appeared the readings faded away leaving them baffled as they scurried to find out what was happening again.
"It's him, it has to be; the readings are different from the makeup of his previous energy signature, but what are the chances of another Godslayer being appearing at the sa ti as he did?" Viktor stood at the front of his ship in his cockpit with Cecelia before him, slumped against his dashboard with her lips folded and her eyes focused on the screen before her as she tapped at a holographic keyboard full of runic letters.
His dash was like a desk that raised as high as his lower abdon with no way of seeing anything on the inside unless he lowered or opened it to leave, and on the inside was his seat but now Cecelia had been subjected to more cruelty as she had to endure his hand while the crew were forced to pretend they didn't know what was happening.
"Did you lock on to his location?" The general asked, and she raised her head and then shook it.
"No sir... I'm sorry, he disappeared before we could lock on, but... I got a general location and trajectory... h-he's headed towards the incomplete Yör Dyson Sphere." She spoke between stifled gasps.
"Why there?" Viktor asked sitting down as the pilots changed their trajectory. "Sit," He ordered, the woman before him hesitated for a mont and was rewarded with a stinging slap across her bare skin that echoed through the entire cockpit. "Sit."
"The Dyson Sphere was funded by General Keele Veegan; the Emporium agreed to it in order to keep her on board," Cecelia answered, sitting in the general's lap obediently slowly following his guidance into a slow grind against his pelvis. "Sir..."
"General Keele is dead, there was no evidence of her body when we got there much like the rest of her outpost, there aren't any other posts anywhere near her ho either, why would he go there, is he planning to destroy her howorld as well?" He asked, confused.
"Never mind that, set a course; he can't run forever."
"A distress call from Yör!" An analyst shouted causing the general to stand abruptly which caused Cecelia to slam into the dashboard and slide to the side quickly fixing her clothes as her and the general stared at the analyst.
"There's another spike in energy!" Another analyst snapped and the general exited his cockpit and walked over to them.
[There is sothing massive approaching, it looks like a giant... A humanoid figure, the size defies all science, we are requesting imdiate assistance it's coming right at-]
The transmission abruptly ended, and with its end, Sol's reading vanished once more, and then all contact with Yör was cut off completely.
"What the hell just happened?" The general snapped at the analyst and the woman shrunk and looked at Cecelia, terrified.
"The Godslayer and the entire Yör galaxy are gone, sir; it just v-vanished-"
"Fuck!" The general snapped furiously and slamd his palm against the dash causing it to short out.
"Who steals an entire galaxy!?"
