Elsewhere, in the Holy Capital
“Ah ,so the boy has returned to his family, and you claim that you sensed the seed inside of him, Kimon. Pray tell, which seed was it? A seed of War? Of Death? Of Pestilence? Of Famine? Of Conquest? Tell me which of the banners the boys seed falls under.”
“Your Holiness, the boy holds the seed of Pratan, The World Cleanser. The seed has merged with his undead Essence, and has become inseparable from him. I believe that is we still seek to use him for the organizations endgame that we should send a skilled wielder of a Death Seed to train him, as well as use this as a means to keep tabs on him at all times. Though I must remind you that the boy has lost all of his memories due to the seed merging with him and that idiotic necromancer’s experiments.” Declared Kimon.
“I see, and who would you have us send to watch him? The teacher who grew too attached to him? The girl who declared herself his for all time? Either choice would suffice since, as you have stated he has no recollection of them. Though i feel they would choose his well being over that of the organization. Unless……. Yes fetch those two, we shall send them but they will not be themselves, we shall remove their free will and sense of self, they shall become the Dolls that they were originally meant to be.” The high Priest declared with a look most lewd upon his face as he thought about the two females that he would be sending away.
“Your Holiness, I have one more thing to tell you. Pratan is not the only seed i sensed.I felt a Dragons seed that has merged with his Draconic Essence, it felt both Ancient and Powerful, yet Young and Weak.” Kimon stated
“Yes I can feel it even from here, it is Greireis, The Eternal One. One of the Dragon counter parts to our own power, that of the Horse-mans Banners. If i am not mistaken, the cause of his memory loss is the seeds merging with him. Their power eclipsed him so entirely that they consumed most of his soul but in return have granted him power beyond that which even the system could understand. Our one true god has told me so herself. In time the System shall add these new abilities and powers to itself once it has gained full understanding of them.” Stated the High Priest.
A few moments later a pitiful looking man opened the door declaring,”Your Holiness, I have brought the two as you have asked.”
Behind him two females, one a Nephilim named Esa. The other a Tiefling named Lilki.
“”Your Holiness””, they both declared as the kneeled before him.
“I have a very, very special mission for the two of you, involving a friend of your Michael Phoenix. He has returned to his home and needs those to teach him to wield the power we granted him before he was spirited away by a necromancer. You are to keep an eye on him at all times and report back to Kimon directly but, as i feel that you would betray us to aid him in whatever he decides to do in the future. You shall be stripped of all free will and sense of self, to become mindless dolls who can only follow orders and never deny the orders of your superiors, in this case Kimon and Myself. You will only be able to accept minor orders from the boy. Should you resist you will be put to death as traitors.” The High Priest declared with a wicked smile of his face, the ritual, a short one, ending as he added a few more words whilst they still retained themselves,“When you return, should you do well, i will reward you with time warming my bed during the night, it is more than you lesser beings deserve but i reward my pets well.” A look of horror flashed across their faces before all traces of emotion and personality disappeared.
They were then dressed in cloaks and set in a wagon bound for the Main branch of the Phoenix clan. The days past and became months, before they reached their final destination, they had been assailed by monsters no less than 34,698 times(each an individual monster) and by bandits 183 times. Upon entering the territory of the Phoenix clan they felt something for the first time since they were stripped down to the mindless dolls they had become. A sense of warmth that they couldn’t describe. It wasn’t long until they arrived at their final destination and left the wagon. As they walked up to the gate a boy of about 10 years of age ran past them at a speed that shouldn’t have been possible for his age, only to hear “DAMMIT BOY STOP RUNNING AWAY IT’S TIME FOR YOUR DAILY LESSONS. NOW GET BACK HERE BEFORE I TELL HITOMI NOT TO MAKE YOU ANY SUPPER!” the boy stopped and turned back towards the voice. When the girls saw him they felt that same warmth as when they entered the territory of the Phoenix clan, why was that. Their heads started hurting at the same time, they fell to their knees, screaming in pain. “Gramps come quick there are some people here who seem to be in quite a pit of pain,” The bot yelled.
The girls passed out after hearing the boy call for help. Whilst they were unconscious they enters a strange foggy realm. “WELL KNOW WHAT HAVE WE HERE, TWO FEMALES WHO KNOW OUR HOST YET CANNOT REMEMBER DUE TO SUCH A MINOR CURSE. TELL US CHILDREN IF WE REMOVE THIS CURSE WILL YOU SWEAR UNDYING LOYALTY TO THE BOY? TO HELP HIM GROW INTO A FINE VESSEL FOR US TO UNLEASH OURSELVES UPON YOUR WORLD? I CAN ALREADY FEEL THE POWER OF OTHERS INSIDE OF YOU THUS PRATAN CANNOT GRANT HIS STRENGTH. BUT I WILL. SWEAR TO AID NIANLONG AND MAKE HIM INTO A FINE DRAGON. NO MAKE HIM INTO A FINE WORLD CLEANSER, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GRANT YOU STRENGTH BUT I CAN GRANT YOU THE POWER TO STAND BY HIS SIDE AT ALL TIME. AFTER ALL THAT IS WHAT THE TWO OF YOU SWORE IN THE PAST. WHAT IT WAS YOU SAW IN THE BOY BEFORE HE BECAME OUR HOST I SHALL NEVER KNOW. REGARDLESS. MAKE YOUR CHOICE MORTALS.”

As the voices rumbled throughout the strange realm both girls agreed though not without hesitation. They had made Michael promise? When? Who was michael? Why did it hurt that they couldn’t remember? “”WE AGREE”” Both of them shouted with all of te strength they could muster. “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA VERY WELL THEN TAKE MY GIFT, ‘THE UNDYING’. YOU HAVE CHOSEN WISELY CHILDREN TAKE MY GIFT, ‘THE DRAGONESS’ BLESSING’.”
You have received the blessings of two supreme beings. The Undying: a trait that prevents permanent death. The stronger you are the longer it takes for you to resurrect. Even capable from returning from a drop of blood. The Dragoness’ Blessing: A blessing from a supreme Dragon solely designed for females to become dragoness’ after a period of time. What type of dragon the traits holder becomes is dependent upon their personality. Acts as Draconic Essence. Makes one Mate for Life with their beloved and become a part of their hoard (Harem) should the recipient of their love wish it to be so.
The curse of the doll has been removed, free will and sense of self returning. Memories being restored. Time until full restoration: 6 years, 4 months and 15 days.
Michael’s POV
After the 2 girls past out Gramps and I carried them towards the infirmary designated for travellers, but something inside me said to take them elsewhere, to take them to my abode. I had no idea why i felt like that was the proper course, and Hitomi would be furious that i brought two unknown women into our hose. Though i haven’t the foggiest as to why she gets so mad about such things, i’m only doing what i felt was right last time….. How was i supposed to know that the girl was actually a Majin. Though the system did recognize her as a tamed monster, which if i’m being honest should have been a dead give away for me. Ever since that day hitomi has forbidden me to share my meals with anyone not approved of by her, and most definitely not and creatures i encounter whilst training with gramps.
I digress, after we arrived at my home we set them in the guest room to let them rest. Hitomi was furious at me for bringing them here. After we set them in bed, hitomi and grandmother chased us out of the room with a spatula and frying pan in each hand, declaring that if we, and i quote “set one foot inside that room before they learned who the girls where and what they were doing in the Phoenix clan then not only would we not get any supper for a month straight but we would have to sleep on our respective couches.” it made me curious as to why i would have to sleep on such an uncomfortable thing when i had a room all to myself…..except for the nights when Hitomi thought she was being sneaky and slipping into my bed with me, the only reason i ever noticed was because gramps would slipp snakes and spiders into my bedroll when we trained away from the clan.
A few hours later, Hitomi POV
Master brought home more women again. What am i gonna do with him, well at least these two aren’t Majin. That slime girl and dullahan are so annoying. There isn’t anything i can do about them since they have become his tamed Majin, though they will eventually evolve into something different and become even more beautiful. The slime girl can change her body shape at will to do whatever she wants with master. If it wasn’t for masters grandmother i would never have been able to beat her down and make her understand that i was at the top of the food chain in here serving master in any way possible . the Dullahan isn’t nearly as bad since she mostly just trains but when she removes that damned armor i can’t help but feel inferior to er, in both looks and size. She has declared that she is masters knight and thus must serve his every need but thankfully she accepted the rule of first come, first serve. We each have our own rooms. Kimiko, the slime girl, has a room designed especially for her races needs. Moist and dark yet at the same time is basically an indoor garden where she grows so many different types of flowers. At this rate she might evolve into a Pink Slime…… if she does i must keep her away from master till after his coming of age ceremony. As for Rachel, the Dullahan, her room is shaped like a Dojo, full of training equipment and various types of weapons and armor. Though one day when i was cleaning her room i came across a different type of ‘training’ equipment and scolded her. She said that she had to train herself for master. As for my room, it’s as one would expect from a slave turned assassin maid though in comparison to the others there is a lot more frills and almost everything is covered in hand drawn pictures of master. I even collected some of masters discarded items. In my closet i have the plate and fork he used for the first ever meal i cooked for him. I lick them on occasion and can still taste him…...MASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTERMMASTERMASTER…….oops i’m receiving a strange looks from masters grandmother, my thoughts must have been showing again. Ah i drooled a bit. I’ve consented to share master but all others must first pass my examination and test.
Ah the girls are waking up now. Time to see what is going on.
