Shattering Humanity-Chapter 291: A New Veil Covering Erebus City
God said, "Let there be a dome in the middle of the water; let it divide the water from the water."
God made the dome and divided the water under the dome from the water above the dome; that is how it was,
and God called the dome Sky. So there was evening, and there was morning, a second day.
God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let dry land appear," and that is how it was.
God called the dry land Earth, the gathering together of the water he called Seas, and God saw that it was good. -Parashah 1: B’resheet (In the beginning) 1:6-9
*DING-a-LING!*
Everyone turn to the door of the ice cream shoppe and sees MamMon DæMon taking a step out and slowly licking an vanilla ice cream cone, the ice cream is the same hue as the Old Norse witch’s gorgeous skin.
MamMon DæMon: "Mmm.
I will say...
If there is one thing the meek succeed at...
It’s making sweets."
As the DæMon finishes her icy, sweet treat she looks around at her group.
Icythis and Isfet are sharing a cig.
Tristan is giving Bethany a death stare while the promiscuous woman is rubbing her cheek against a nervous Stephanie.
MamMon gives a confused look at the three damp young women, but without a word to them, the ’Queen’ looks at General Nephilim.
MamMon DæMon: "Now, if we are all set with whatever that was..."
Nephilim(nods): "The situation has been resolved and everyone is ready for another one of your pleasant surprises, Queen MamMon."
From the compliment, smiling MamMon reaches into her cloak.
Multiple different types of people, none with IceEyes, walk by and around the small group while she rummages through her money tree patterned covering.
From inside her cloak, a bright star-like object appears to float just above her palm.
The illumination and stunning visual grabs the attention of MamMon’s group, but none of the citizens passing by them seem to notice. They all continue on with their day.
Tristan steps closer with such bright and wide eyes, the shimmer from the star forming Seiõr hovering in his superior’s palm, reflects off them.
Tristan: "What...What is that?"
Nephilim: "It’s beautiful."
The rotating star is as bright as a welding flame, but without the damage to ocular sensors.
MamMon DæMon: "The entire reason I brought you all out here in the first place.
It is a certain technique of Seiõr that has been used, even before my sisters and I were ever born.
This, is a StealthSeiõrStar.
It took me a few days but after seeing it only once, I think I have been able to copy my Hubby’s Seiõr perfectly.
This version of the universal energy was the sole reason for the concealed history of Jomsborg.
Because the majority of Erinyes territory is ignorant of Seiõr, they won’t notice this bright(and dark)..."
Stephanie looks at the StealthSeiõrStar and her gorgeous lime green eyes become fixated on it.
In the same way as when she went into a trance like state the night before, Steph becomes is completely locked in on the small rotating star. The history lesson and explanation coming from the witch becomes muffled behind a high pitched ringing and murmuring whispers heard only by the lime green beauty.
Back in the conversation, Nephilim quickly raises a hand up in front of his chest.
MamMon stops and acknowledges the question.
Nephilim: "Queen MamMon?"
She looks over at him while smiling at his curiosity.
MamMon DæMon: "Yes? Have I gone to far off the rails with the explanation already?"
Everyone except Stephanie shakes their heads.
Nephilim: "I would just like to know if this will have any negative effects on the citizens within it’s radius upon activation.
If it’s meant to keep intruders out, wouldn’t it repel away everything once you turn it on?"
The beautiful blonde bursts out loud laughing and a couple of passerbys look at her with a confused look. Pulling their children away.
MamMon DæMon: "I think I shall allow the StealthSeiõrStar to speak for itself, Erinyes Nephilim."
With full trust in his Queen, Nephilim looks at a group of small children running and playing tag after having their ice cream.
He takes a deep breath and smiles with a nod at the Old Norse born.
Isfet drops the handoff of the cigarette to Ichythis and the fumbled fag sizzles in a small puddle at their feet.
Ichythis: "Damn. That sucks."
Isfet: "I’m sorry."
MamMon DæMon: "...Alrighty then!
And without further ado, I shall now crush this StealthSeiõrStar like s-*
*BURST!*
Without the DæMon even moving her hand yet, the StealthSeiõrStar bursts into a million little shattered pieces, releasing a growing dome with a familiar black Seiõr.
The energy feeling like a gust of wind as it passes by those within the sanctuary, unknowing of Seiõr.
From above the city sanctuary, the spreading dome of Seiõr grows outwards, covering the entirety of the 20 mi² area.
Once the dark universal energy finishes expanding over the small sanctuary, from inside, the dome itself becomes clear, almost like a glass covering.
However, unaffected by the "glass dome", the SeiõrSnow continues to fall through and all around the city on the inside.
MamMon is not only caught off guard by the sudden "pop of her balloon" but also the fact SeiõrSnow is the more dominant form of Seiõr in this case.
Her blue eyes look directly at Stephanie who has now broken out of her trance and is sheepishly looking back and forth from Mammon’s sparkling oculars to the ground.
MamMon DæMon: "My dear...
Did-Did you just now..?"
An equally surprised Tristan looks at Stephanie as his cute wife to be is fidgeting in place nervously again.
Tristan(thinking): *Stephanie just did that?!*
Tristan: "Excuse me, Madame MamMon, but what did Stephanie just do, if I may ask?"
As Icythis takes out a new cigarette, Nephilim steps up to take a whack at deducing an answer.
Nephilim: "If I may take a whack at deducing an answer, Queen MamMon, I would make a guess as to say that our dearest Stephanie here doesn’t have a complete grasp over her outstanding control over Seiõr."
Looking down, ashamed Stephanie’s lip quivers.
MamMon is equally as impressed by the accuracy of the General’s guess and gives the both of them two patronizing claps of applause.
MamMon DæMon: "My, my, myyy.
Quite the savants here.
That would ultimately be correct if Stephanie is willing to confirm."
Tristan, as well as everyone in the group, looks at their advanced Seiõr user and she slowly shrugs her shoulders.
Stephanie: "I- I don’t really know what happened.
At first I was only admiring the StealthSeiõrStar because of it’s beauty, but then I seemed to get tunnel vision and s-"
She stops herself and looks at Tristan. The love of her life grabs her hand tightly and she smiles before continuing.
Stephanie: "Something was whispering to me in my head. Telling me to release my anxieties.
It was telling me, I could protect the world if I wanted to.
I could save everyone..."
Icythis raises an eyebrow, listening while taking a drag from her newest cig.
Bethany is listening as well. No longer goofing around, but has a serious look of concern on her face.
Bethany: "Stephanie..."
MamMon DæMon: "Well that certainly was the goal, Dear."
Everyone’s gaze now turns back to MamMon as she finally reveals her plans.
From a top view above the dome, from where Hanabi/Erebus City once was exhibited proudly, is the shot of a wide open field at the base of the Sister Mountains.
MamMon DæMon: "As of right now, this entire city is hidden from and impenetrable by not only those Ice monsters but also those terrorists willing to kill an entire city of people.
Ichythis’ fists tighten as she takes another deep pull from her cigarette.
MamMon DæMon: "The plan was to show you all the StealthSeiõrStar and it’s effects, but nowww..."
She stares at Stephanie, then at Isfet, Icythis, and Bethany.
MamMon DæMon: "But now, we should do a little bit of training to prepare for our Holmgang in a few days.
Don’t you agree General?"
[Tomodachi Town Fire Station]
From outside the fire station/tank garage, Laban and Saku are having their discussion.
Laban DaeMon: "To be real with you Saki, she was also the one who came up with the schematics to the original SunSwords and HeatHolsters."
Saku now looks completely interested in the story.
Saku: "Wait, I never thought about that.
So this friend of yours, ’Buzz’, she was the original creator of Anti-Iceman Gear?!"
Smiling Laban nods at him then looks back at Abby the tank/elephant as she takes a drag.
After exhaling, she watches the smoke travel in the opposite direction as the falling SeiõrSnow.
Laban DaeMon: "Yea,she was pretty cool."
She finishes her blunt and flicks the roach to the ground, stomping it out.
Laban DaeMon: "But since you’re the only one I can be real with Saki, I’ll tell you.
I could use my ability to find out where she is, but the fact she never came back tells me I wouldn’t like the answer I find.
Whether she’s dead or she decided to ditch and switch up on me too, I don’t want to know.
I guess you were right, ’there are some things you just don’t want to know for your own mind’s sake."
Saku: "Laban..."
Dom: "Aww *cough* that’s so sweet..."
Laban blushes and her neck slowly creaks comedically 180° around to look at him.
The DaeMon forgetting he was there while revealing her embarrassing confession.
Laban DaeMon: "Saki, I have to kill him now..."
Saku: "Wait, Laban-!"
Suddenly there is a slight trembling felt, making everyone’s eyes widen and making them all stop in their tracks.
The second confirmation rumble gets both Friend and Xaaydagaay growling at the vibrations.
