Shattering Humanity-Chapter 354: Recounting The Amazing Day
At home plate, Shelly gets out of her stance and she has a serious look on her face as she looks behind her, to the South.
She is stuck, staring off into the distance.
Saku doesn’t get up from his crouch, and talks to Shelly from his squatting position.
Saku: "Laban told us earlier, since we’ve been in the presence of extreme Seiõr, we can sense whenever a large enough of the energy is being released..."
Shelly: "I had assimilated that sense last night after trying to find you, but that was only you.
Now there are two sources releasing extreme amounts of Seiõr into the world, and they’re coming from completely opposite directions..."
...
Katsu: "Shelly! Big Bro Char is our main priority as of right now!
I know, that you know the Seiõr user over there is probably coming Laban’s older sister!"
Laban already has her Eyelien at 2nd Stage, a grey aura while watching the events unfold on the Southern county.
Drakania gingerly walks up to the ability focused DaeMon on her way to Jormungand still standing at shortstop.
Drakania: "Um- Ms. DaeMon."
Laban DaeMon: "What?"
The little brother to the questioning young woman quietly walks behind her.
Drakania: "You said the sister that is obsessed with the Erinyes Angels, is named Herfjötur, after her Valkyrie mother, right?"
At this point, Shelly’s ears twitch at Drakania’s curiosity and the Ace fighter notices Laban’s Eyelien at it’s 2nd Stage.
Laban DaeMon: "Yea. What’s your point?
Katsu, Saku, Shelly and Itsuka move closer to the discussion.
With his catcher’s gear off and thrown into the dugout, Saku looks at Shelly.
The inspired fighter is more hooked on the question than the DaeMon.
Drakania: "Do-Do you know...Do you by chance also know her Völva mothe-?"
Laban DaeMon: "Gullveig."
Drakania is caught off guard by the interrupting answer but recovers and starts searching her own memory banks.
Itsuka looks at the young woman prolific in mythology and theology.
Itsuka: "Did your mother ever tell you anything about her, Drakania?"
...
Saku(telepathy): *What’s going on?
You know who these sources of unrelenting Seiõr are coming from, and what the next course of action is, Katsu!*
Katsu(telepathy): *It’s of no importance towards Shelly’s overall development or safety. So no, I don’t.
Now shut up and listen to this plot twist the girl is about to drop on you all.*
Saku does just that in time to hear...
Drakania: "The Völva named Gullveig ended up having two names recorded within the stories passed down Sagas..."
Drakania’s nugget of knowledge suddenly makes both Shelly and Laban perk up. Their stares cause Drakania to shrink before she can say anymore, but the human hand of her little brother rests on the young lady’s shoulder.
He gives his anxious, older sister a nod of encouragement and the adorable storyteller takes a deep breath.
She opens her piercing purple eyes back up and locks with Laban’s single blue eye.
Drakania: "...Her first name was Gullveig...and her second name...was ’Heiðr’."
Everyone is stunned in shock and silence, especially Laban.
...
Surprised Saku shoots a glare at the correctly predicting rival captain as the Yang Vessel snickers back.
Shelly steps up and looks at Laban while asking Drakania...
Shelly: "So you’re telling me, not only did Laban’s Völva mother have MamMon with one Valkyrie, which survived their wave, but then had a second unnaturally born child with a seperate Valkyrie, and eloping before the DæMon rebellion?"
Laban swallows her spit, awaiting Drakania’s answer, which is a nod.
Shelly: "So Laban, you had not the faintest of ideas that she was your blood sister?"
The DaeMon takes a moment to think deeper into the information and the question.
Laban DaeMon: "Herfjötur...she..."
[805 Years Before Leviathan’s Invasion]
{Somewhere In Scandinavia}
Woman’s Voice: "She’s not worth it, Herfjötur.
No matter how much you try.
I say we leave her out for the witch hunting Christians. They’re all over the place now."
A younger, teenage Laban, no face tattoos, is heavily battle damaged and out of breath.
She is wearing wolf skin clothing, no shoes.
A sadly flaming Madame Fryer is in her possession and while looking up at the figure casting the shadow looming over her, she spits out blood.
MamMon DæMon: "Get up and try again, sister."
The familiar sounds of sniffles from a little girl can be heard as Laban tries to get back to her feet with blue eyes staring down in disgust at her.
She attempts to keep a SeiõrShield going but only produces a sad blue coating of magic before it fizzles out and Laban is once again out of breath.
Little Girl’s Voice: *sniffle* "Look at that, Sigrdrifa. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
She can’t even exert a proper SoulSeiõrShield at birth...*sniffle*...loser."
With the negative chatter around her, Laban attempts to project a SeiõrShield again, but ultimately fails.
After the failed attempt she is immediately struck hard.
Trying to defend herself with Madame Fryer proves to backfire as the flaming sword only gets pushed into her face and it burns her unfriendly face.
Falling to the ground, with tears in both her blue eyes, a burn mark on her cheek, Laban looks up at a dissatisfied MamMon/Herfjötur DæMon.
MamMon/Herfjötur DæMon: "Get up, Eir."
Laban/Eir DaeMon: "Why?! You’re just gonna hit me again!"
The disapproving older sister narrows her gaze on the back talking younger sister.
Laban/Eir DaeMon: "I’m done trying to beat you!
All you do is hr-
A bare foot kicks Laban in face before she can react.
Before being launched, she drops Madame Fryer, and the flaming sword sticks into the cold ground, waiting while watching the family quarrel.
From the swords perspective, the older sister stomps on and curses out her ’failure’ of a younger, blood related sibling.
Once all is said and done, the completely beat up and bloodied DaeMon is left on the cold ground clutching grass.
Then a hand clutches her hair at the root, lifting her head.
The scared younger sister looks at Mammon’s cold, blue stare as she is scolded by her older sibling.
MamMon DæMon: "You have 5 years, sister.
If you don’t show signs of improvement, then it just shows who’s the righteously stronger daughter."
She releases her grip on the young woman’s scalp and she is left sobbing on the cold Northern ground.
...
Persephone: "Oh my God!
We did it Charby!
We beat a bad guy together!"
Charby: "Hehe, Yea...I-I guess we did."
To his surprise, the powerful 2nd Generation DæMon/ storyteller spins him around and they kiss passionately, making the rainbow colored SharedSoulSeiõrShield glow even more.
From across the street, smiling Scylia witnesses the romantic scene and realizes where the powerful energy everyone felt was coming from.
Everyone else(other than Katsu and Shelly) eventually catches up and sees the romantic scene unfurling.
Behind Saku, Laban slowly rises up and puts her chin on his shoulder.
Laban DaeMon: "You know Sakiii, you and I could do that toooo."
He rolls his eyes as Katsu and Shelly finally catch up to the rest of the gang, but in the air.
They too see the romantic scene and Shelly blushes while her grip gets slightly tighter around Katsu’s wrist.
Katsu: "That’s awesome for Big Bro, Charybdis, right Sh-"
Suddenly both he and Shelly perk up.
Katsu: "Shelly...you feel that?"
Shelly: "It’s her... isn’t it, Katsu?"
Katsu: "I think so...Are you intimidated Shell?"
The Valkyrie descendant smiles as a bead of sweat rolls down her temple from sensing the energy and power creating the earthquake on the other side of the northeastern Vinland island.
With a sky shot overlooking where the southern county once stood, the entire prison and the foundation it was on, is now cut off from Kami Island and sinking into the ocean below.
Shelly’s Voice: "Not one damn bit."
[Sanpaku’s Cafeteria]
Everyone part of Takamagahara(except Charybdis) is eating in the dinery hall with lunch trays or plates in front of them.
Katsu and Shelly are sitting across from Daisuki, Scylia, and Zoram.
The proud older sister is still blushing while smiling, remembering her little brother’s first kiss and being able to see it without him noticing her.
Katsu: "Today was so fun Big Bro!"
He takes a bite of his food while Shelly finishes swallowing the last of her 11th plate.
The over enthusiastic Izanagi Captain talks with food in his mouth.
Katsu: "Tomorrow you have to come with us and we can have an actual game with full teams!"
The Head Hancho nervously chuckles, still shaken up since knowing about the death of Princess Kawaii’s father.
Daisuki: "We’ll see bud.
After all the damage that happened earlier today, there is a lot to clean up and supervise."
The blonde warrior looks down in guilt, knowing it was her fights that caused the damages.
Shelly: "I’m really sorry, Sensei."
Caught by surprise from her apologies, the nervous mentor to the Scandinavian Valkyrie descendant loses all of his own negative emotions, from seeing her look so sad.
Daisuki: "Haha!
Don’t be silly, Shelly!
Because of you we’re all safe!"
