Aster noticed there were runes engraved in the rocks and trees which he could see in the beach, Eris created a camouflage array to hide this place form the eyes of others so no one has been in this island for quite some time.
Eris guided them into the jungle, on the way Alice noticed she had relieved expression as if a weight was lift from her body, which confused her, it would be normal if she was nervous or cautious, with Lilia here they could take her body and refine it or things like that, so it was weird to see her like that.
Alice still had her guard up against her, at this point the past of Prasil was one secret after other, so she might be also lying after all.
“Eris, I thought you were wary of us, if tomorrow it turns out you lied to us, with your body within our reach we can easily destroy you, so how come you look relieved?”, she said in a slight accusatory voice.
Eris didn’t take her words too seriously, instead she smiled as she answered.
“Luckily for me I didn’t lie, on any case I was nearly resigned to destroy my body since I created this spiritual form, just so that bitch couldn’t lay her hands on it… besides this queen doesn’t have any reasons to be afraid, the cosmos tree approved Aster so I can trust him and after seeing how you and Lilia behave, I’m pretty sure you won’t do anything to make him angry at you”.
Lilia laughed.
“That’s true, I will never go against my darling, but if you show the slightest sign of betray, I will personally kill you, because I know he would forgive me anyway ♥”.
Aster shook his head.
“Ladies, be nice to each other, we are on the same boat, Eris will you be able to return to your body before the meeting with the woman from the ash nether clan of tomorrow?”.
Eris contemplated things, she remembered that Aster promised to give her another bottle of that weird elixir to help her recover so she nodded.
“Yes, that elixir you gave me is quite something, if I fed it to my body, I will recover enough to be present tomorrow”.
The conversation was interrupted when they finally got a sight of something else besides the dense vegetation of the island, a dome made out of some kind of black mineral, as soon as they set foot near of it spirit formations appeared all over it but with a gesture Eris deactivated them all.
The dome shattered and a crystal transparent coffin which contained Eris’s body appeared in front of them, even after all these years of confinement and the lack of spirit energy, she looked exactly the same as her spirit form, a beautiful lady in her prime, if Aster were to mention something was that her skin looked a bit pale giving her a fragile aspect, but that will change soon.
Eris approached her physical body which she hasn’t seen in a couple of centuries and she turned to Aster.
“I can’t use my spatial ring in this form… Aster please keep my body in your ring for now”.
Alice mentally laughed, “if you knew what she does to our bodies you wouldn’t have asked him that”, she thought.
Ignoring the weird smile on his sister’s face Aster nodded, and the coffin with her body disappeared into his spatial ring, it as time to go but before that Eris needed to destroy the island to not let any traces just in case, Lilia helped everyone float in the air and they witnessed how the spirit formations made island sink on the sea.
Aster looked at Eris as the island was sinking on the depths of the sea, “she for sure has a strong will… preferring death over letting that woman laying her hands on her body”, he thought.
Rya agreed with him.
“Yes, since she lacked spirit energy, without her body to act as her anchor to the material plane, her spirit form would have dissipated not too long after her body was destroyed”.
Although Rya hasn’t told him the horrible distressing sensation of a dantian eating itself away in a try to preserve the life of its owner, Aster already knew it since she slipped some time ago when she told him she has always been with him even when he lived in the earth were there was zero spiritual energy.
Aster sighed.
“Maybe that’s why I’m being a bit soft hearted with her… their situations are similar, perhaps I do have a thing for damsels in distress, whatever if it’s not broken don’t fix it”, he said to himself.
After Eris made sure the island was completely gone, Lilia transported them back to the exact room where they were before in the mansion at Hawthorn city, so no one noticed they left, Eris previously told them that the corrupted didn’t get a glimpse of who was attacking them so there were no traces of her assisting them in battle.
Aster took the coffin out of his spatial ring, the process of recover would take Eris quite some hours so it was better to start immediately, Alice, Aria, Sarina and Kana left the room, Eris undid the last layer of protection and opened the coffin, as promised Aster handed her another bottle of his blood but this time, she made her body drink it.
Eris saw her body immediately reacting to it, her skin tone filled with a healthy pinkish tone, her heart started slowly pumping blood through her veins for the first time in thousands of years, she smiled seeing her basically coming back to life.
“Please protect this area… while I reintegrate my soul into my physical body, I would be totally defenseless”, she said.
Lilia smirked, she used one of her barrier talismans to cover the whole room.
“Don’t worry, this barrier will keep you safe, start already and see you in the morning”.
Eris nodded and Aster saw her spirit form entering her body, not without she saying.
“Thanks”, the room fell in silence but Lilia looked relaxed so it was clear that things were going well.
Since the room was empty now, Lilia couldn’t help but give Aster a gaze he perfectly recognized, without a second of delay they pressed their lips against each other, since she arrived not too long ago, Lilia has been dying to receive some love from her son so she couldn’t leave this chance to slip away.
Aster also felt the urge to have her in his embrace, after three years of making love to Lilia, his body had taken her as his “mate”, although he also did it with Alice and Aria… it wasn’t the same, his instincts originally woke up thanks to that time she tried on a dress in the commercial area of Ghaleria, and up to this day, his mother was the one that excited him the most.
Still there was a time and place for everything, he reluctantly stopped the kiss and helped Lilia tidy up.
“Mom, let’s stop for now, if we stay here for too much time those two will get angry at me… besides I won’t be able to hold back once we start for the good”.
Lilia smiled; she stole one last kiss to her son before turning around and walking to the room where the other girls were waiting for them.
“Fine let’s see the new members of our family, but later you are mine ♥”, she said before leaving the room.
The tempting back view of his mother’s deliciously big ass swaying around, almost made Aster jump over her at the spot, something Lilia of course noticed as she licked her lips without looking back.
Aster shook his head.
“She is doing it on purpose… whatever I have the whole night to enjoy the three of them, for now I need to tell Sarina about all this”, he thought.
He left the room without noticing that Eris was still conscious so she managed to see their little exchange, she was a bit confused.
“Lilia knew I was looking at them, so why was she so relaxed kissing him when they are mother and son… I will ask Aster about this later, Alice also looked quite fond of him so maybe this is a custom in their family”, she thought before focusing on her recovery.
Lilia had a cunning smile on her face as she entered the room where her the other girls were already sat in a circle waiting for them.
“Mommy already did her part, the rest is up to you darling ♥”, she said to herself.
Lilia sat next to her daughter and Aster arrived not too long after that, he took his seat in the middle of them like before, the only difference was that Sarina and Kana were no sitting in front of them.
Aster looked at Kana and he was wondering if maybe he should ask Sarina to take her out of the room, but it was better to make things clear because it wouldn’t be fair for the girls if he suddenly stopped showing his love to them just because Kana was present in the room.
That didn’t mean he was an exhibitionist as he always made love with them only when they were bathing or in the bedroom, but he enjoyed kissing or hugging Lilia, Alice or Aria regardless of the time or place, still a little warning for Sarina was needed just in case.
“Sarina, I previously told you a bit of what it meant being with me… before I tell you the rest, I don’t mind Kana staying here but I’m the first to recognize that what I’m about to explain might be a bit shocking”.
Sarina doubted for a moment, but her daughter looked at her like saying “I won’t go anywhere”, so she could only bite the bullet, since that time they kissed at the edge of the lake, she knew her daughter would sooner or later find out, besides Kana also showed interest on Aster so it was better for her to know the truth so she doesn’t get hurt later.
“It’s okay, I already made up my mind, and so did she… at this point I’m getting used to you doing things others think are impossible anyway”, she said as she shrugged.
Alice laughed a bit, “you have no idea”, she thought.
