Dryad is having tea with Lauren when a sudden presence of an incredible aura assaults thier senses. They recognized this aura. It was the Destroyer, Ash Avalon! Both women were startled and dropped thier tea as they scrambled up. There were a small group of alchemists and druids who were nearby when Ash arrived. They immediatley were about to attack Ash and defend thier priestesses, but they were confronted by Ash's harpie army. While they made no attempt to attack, the residents could tell that the harpies were trained for combat and they recognized the tatoos on Ren, Rei, and Michiru as shadow magic signs. "Destroyer...do you come in peace?" asked Dryad boldy. Lauren shuddered at Ash. Not only was his aura invoke fear, but he still looked terrible. If Ash was here to attack, even with Dryad's power and the combined power of all the people here, there was a chance that they could perish. Dryad was one of the surpreme beings in the world, but Ash's aura seemed to be as strong at hers at this point. Ash stopped and prostrated to the floor. The harpies did the same. "I beg your forgivness for coming to your sanctuary, elemental priestess. I humbly ask that you allow me to be in your company." At that point, Siren, Curtain, Sidney, and Lola flew in a hurry. They were taken aback at what was in front of thier eyes. What a shock, for four sisters who thought they were the last of the harpie race, now beholding a small colony of them. But what was attracting them was the being leading them covered with lots of harpie pheromones. The Destroyer raised himself up and turned around. The harpies immediatley recognized them. An unexplainable hatred and rage overtook them, but since it was sudden and apparently unprovoked they stood back. This man was questionable somehow, but then why were there so many harpie women loyally following them. After all, they marked him with each of thier scents, something harpies only do to a meal, a plaything, or something they fancy. Even a harpie possessed or under a mind control wouldn't do that. The four sisters slowly went to Ash and was sniffing him. Lauren thought this was strange, but Dryad held her back. "Now I understand" said Dryad. "What?" asked Lauren. "Ash is here for the harpies. You remember when it was rumored that a harpie colony existed? This must be them. I'm just surprised that Ash was living with them, or perhaps even leading them. Look at them Lauren. The smell is practically hypotizing the harpies. "He's going to take them? We can't allow that!" protested Lauren. "Let's see..." said Dryad. She walked to Ash and call his attention to her. When he turned around, Dryad took her hand and touched his chest near where his heart would be. For a few moments, both stood still. "What are you Destroyer? How can you be an ultimate evil, yet be an ultimate good at the same time? I sense maliciousness abounding in you. Despite that, the chains of love and virtue are binding them in place, but it's strained." Dryad stopped talking but left her hand on Ash. She looked squarly in his eyes. "So that's it...Destroyer take these harpies with my blessing. I hope you find the redemption you seek. I know these harpies will help you find it and I believe you will take care of them" Dryad took her hand off of Ash and turned. "Harpies of Noma, do you want to go with this man? Neither me nor Ash is going to stop you either way" The other harpies were beckoning the sisters to them. The harpies thoughts were the same. They were not alone after all. But something was disturbing Siren greatly. There was something she had to find out. "You... take off your shirt." she told Ash. Ash obeyed. The entire mansion was shocked at what they found. Ash's body was scarred beyond belief with burn, puncture, slash, and other terrible marks of battle, but Siren rushed to one particular one over Ash's heart. She simply stared it as she started to cry. The other harpies came with her and shared similar responses. "It was you. It was you all along..." Siren dropped her her knees and tightly hugged Ash as she wept loudly. The other harpies surrounded Ash and hugged them too. "What is it?" asked Lauren. Sidney was the first to answer. Ash was the one who found us when we were still eggs. He raised us for many years before he had to leave when he was sick. He was our human. He took us to the mountains and taught us how to care for ourselves. He promised he would come back for us when he was well again. Our love bites are still on him. We were too young to mark him any other way Suddenly, everyone who knew and forgot Euu Avalon suddenly had thier memories of him restored. Siren was shocked. "That's right. When he came, we didnt' remember at first, but when we remembered Ash, we thought Danny was he. We never checked for the scars because we always thought they were there. Danny was masquarading as Ash this entire time, but he had the same love toward us as Ash once did. Ash, I killed you, but how are you here?" asked Siren. "Let's talk about it at home." asked Ash. "Dryad, thank you. I swear, they will be fine" assured Ash. "Yes, I know" she replied. Ash turned and marched out, the harpies with thier new friends in tow followed. "So that's it?" asked Lauren. "The Destroyer...no. Ash Avalon will find the light once again. Those harpies filled in the last hole in his heart. Siren told me that she missed her human, but I was shocked when she said it wasn't Danny. Siren said that the day she saw Danny's evilness, she and her sisters were convinced that he was a fake. She felt sorrow about something. When her memories were restored, she realized she killed her human, her first love. "I don't know Dryad. We've seen the visions. I think that all the harpies mean to Ash is a militant harem. "Give him a chance. He could be part of the solution if the ultimate sin arises in the multiverse. "Come Lauren, let's finish our tea"
