-You sure got some guts calling me devil, Son of Jor! How demeaning!

Lady Death said with a faint smile as she walked towards them. Aoife was stiff like rock seeing her, as if she is the end of her. On the other hand Winston kept smiling. Marcus answered,

-This little one seeks your forgiveness.

Winston added,

-You know something darling, your brother-in-law didn't actually mean you are devil. It actually is a figure speech.

Both Marcus and Aoife looked at Winston as if they are looking at an idiot. **You want to die, go die yourself. Why are you trying to bring us down with you.** is what they were screaming in their mind. But contrary to their expectation. Lady death actually laughed out loud. After laughing for around 10 seconds she said,

-That power of you that you think so highly of is not as useful as you think. Nothing is set in stone, my little beloved. Specially, for beings who are at level of me. So, you better watch your mouth. (flaring her aura) As I am in good mood, I shall go lenient on you this time. You might not be so lucky next time.

This time the threat exuding from her was real. Even stone walls around them cracked in an instant. This time, all three of them released cold sweat in front of the pressure, as if death is just a hair breath away from them. As the crack started to expand, another melodious, playful voice floated towards them,

-Aunt, you are going too far.

A woman whose beauty rivals Lady Death's was seen behind her in a pink dress which exposes her cleavage, she had purple skin, red hair, silver eyes.

-Oh, interfering with the test I prepared for them wasn't enough for you?

Lady Death answered retracting her aura. The three people of Kamar Taj released a sigh of relief. Then again Aoife became more nervous. It isn't your average day where two abstract entity visits your adobe. If a fight breaks out... bye bye little earth, you shall be missed.

When Marcus' eyes landed on the new lady, he recognized her even though he never seen her before. But same didn't apply for Winston and Aoife. What confused them more that, a cheerful aura exuded from her which was total opposite of Lady Death. It is normally impossible to tell that these two are related.

The new woman replied in more playful manner to lady Death,

-I am just reminding you of what that person told us. You are not going to disobey him, right?

Death's expression turned a little sour hearing that, but unable to stomach the clear provocation she retorted back,

-That clearly don't justify why you interfered earlier.

-Come on don't be like that. They are still children. I couldn't bear to see my future lover be bullied by you so badly.

-... (Marcus)

-... (Aoife)

-... **(In his mind)I thought I was shameless.**(Winston)

-This is the reason, you would never be at my level. Say your mother I miss her.(Death)

-Both of us know, you hate her guts. (???)

Ignoring her, Death turned to Aoife,

-I am very disappointed of you, Daughter of Mel. You are the only sorcerer supreme who ran from me rather than overcoming my trial. You should learn from these two.

Aoife's face became deathly pale hearing that.

-Fear not. I am not here to guide you to the next world. I am here for a different reason.

Color returned a little to her face, but Aoife couldn't relax just yet.

She asked,

-May this insignificant one know, what her ladyship requires?

-It is very funny to see how humble you can be when the situation calls for it. Well, You have possession of something that belongs to me. It is time to return it. (Death)

-I don't unders....

-I think she is asking for the heart of dark devourer.

Winston said from the side.

-Uhhh, does that mean....

-You think too much for your own good, Daughter of Mel. You should be wise enough to know that right? Or is it age that is catching up to you?

Death stopped Aoife in the middle of sentence. Aoife didn't said any further, and took out relic which looks like a totem. She was actually carrying that all the time! She then offered that to Death kneeling. Death took it casually and just as she took it she made a salt sprinkling gesture holding the relic and the relic turned into dust. Then she walked to the shadowed part of room. Just before fading with the shadow, she stopped and said,

-Don't disappoint me. You should know, you can't afford to.

Saying that she blended with the shadow. The one remained is the lady who stopped death from going rampant. She was still smiling playfully. She said,

-Ohh, my part is done, so I shall take my leave. Take care you two. I went out of my way to help you. I hope you were worth it.

Saying that she turned to leave like Death too. Winston couldn't help but ask,

-Thank you for your help. But couldn't you at least introduce yourself. Your identity cannot be deduced from your aura alone unlike Death!

The woman stopped in her tracks and said,

-Ohh, where are my manners! I am Epiphany, daughter of Eternity. Member of the seven friendless. I think that should be enough for now, right? Good bye, then.

Saying that she vanished. After that, Aoife dropped on her b.u.t.t as her legs lost strength. How often one meet two abstract entity at the same time. Winston simply showed his brother thumbs up saying,

-Damn bro, I didn't know you are such a player. Keep it up.

In response he received a slap at back of his head.

-You and your perverted mind. (Marcus)

-Heyyy... at least I am true to my d.e.s.i.r.es. (Winston)

Aoife continued to observe the due with amazed expression. They just escaped such a disaster, yet these two are in mood of such bickering. She gave a light cough and asked,

-*Ahem* Can you please shed some light on the matter that how you were helped an abstract entity?

They looked at her stopping their nonsense and Marcus said,

-Nothing much for her, we needed some realization to expel the darkness that invaded our mind. She helped us with that. You know, right? Epiphany is the manifestation of sudden flashes of insight.

Aoife didn't know what to say. She simply didn't dare to ask why these two are favored by abstract entities. She just simply changed the topic,

-So, you two are clearly capable of receiving my mantle. Is there anything I can do to change your mind?

-"NO""NO"

The said said in unison.

-*Sigh* Fine then. I can't force you two. So what are going to do now?

Marcus and Winston looked at each other and nodded.

-First we are going to graduate of being a Mystic arts master.... (Marcus)

-then we are going to search for the root our true identity. (Winston)
