She looked at Xyron, anger flashing in her eyes. "I am going to break every rule the Heaven Realm has made. I will say the name, and once I find out the name of the Deity of Fire, I will say it again and again in front of those pathetic deities. I will even make sure to write the tales about both of them so that all three realms will know about their sacrifice—and how pathetic those deities are."
Xyron could only hum, as he didn’t fancy those rules either but had to follow them anyway.
She looked at Drayce. "Your father’s name is Drayvor. Always remember it."
Drayce repeated the name as he nodded. "Drayvor."
He realized that his name was similar to his father’s, which meant Evanthe never blamed his father for anything and loved him enough to name their child similarly to his father.
As the necessary information about the particular individuals was revealed, Arlan said, "Xyron, we need to enter the Heaven Realm soon. Before that, we need to know about its ruler, anyone else we need to be careful of, and someone who can be our ally and is still willing to help the fallen deities."
Xyron nodded as he explained, "the current King of Heaven is Grianor. Just like the Lord of Darkness and Deity of Fire, he originated from the divine powers of another ancient beast, Lion. He is Lord of Light. He is the most powerful god in existence after the heavenly emperor."
"More powerful than the Lord of Darkness?" Arlan asked.
Xyron shook his head as he explained, "Grianor and Lord of Darkness were raised together and both were similarly skilled and powerful, at the same time, they were like brothers. But now, the Lord of Darkness is the most powerful being due to the absolute darkness."
Arlan hummed as he concluded, "So, after Drayvor had sacrificed to darkness and had to leave the heaven realm, Grianor took his place and became the King of Heaven? Is that King trustable or blinded by powers?"
"After the last war between our realms, all I know, we Demons hate him. If not for him, we wouldn’t be reduced to this state and our princess wouldn’t have sacrificed herself," As Xyron said, he looked at Draven, "We also despised the one who followed the King’s orders."
"There must be a reason why the Demon realm was attacked," Draven said, "I know I would never harm anyone without a reason."
"The Great God of War had spoken. What can I say now," Xyron commented.
"Maybe try to look into the shortcomings and what your side must have done wrong to be attacked by me," Draven replied.
"Your responsibility was to follow the Kings orders blindly, that’s it," Xyron said, "You had no say in whether you want to go on war or not."
"I don’t believe it," Draven replied, "but I can’t change your perception of me as we were in the end enemies."
"King Draven," Oriana said with a firm tone, "As much as you trust your past self, I trust my past self as well. I am sure, I would never do anything wrong and let my people do anything wrong as well. Based on how cunning Heaven realm is, I am sure they must have plotted against us to gain something to their advantage. We Demons are just simple minded."
"Simple minded?" Draven raised a brow as looked at her with an equally intimidating gaze. Oriana was far from simple minded. She was shrewd and no one could deny it. Draven continued. "But we would know once our memories are back. I will sure let you know where things wen’t wrong."
"I look forward to it," she replied coldly.
As the air between the two past rivals, the two equally powerful beings in the past, seemed to heat up, Arlan interrupted them. "Though both of you had fought against each other in the past, do not forget we are on the same side now. Once everything is settled, we will give both of you some time to show off your powers against each other."
Getting the hint, Oriana and Draven kept quiet as the matters in hand were more important.
