A playful reply came. "Nope. Hey, the author seemed to know very little about us. His story stopped on the part where the Creator Bathala was said to disappear, leaving the whole Skyworld to be managed by the other deities. And. Well, that's it." She then rolled up the bamboo scrolls and left it on top of the small round table. "This should be a work of some mortals from thousands of years ago, correct? They are quite amazing to know a bit about us, don't you think so?"
The man who yearned for some peace but couldn't find it due to the woman's presence signed and replied, "You are correct. That scroll was brought to this world by one of the priestesses of a human tribe from one thousand years ago. When I read that mortal's memories, it was still a time when tribes worship beings like us, calling us their gods and goddesses or anitos."
"Oh," the woman responded before laughing. "Anitos… Really foolish mortals. How dare they say Gods and Goddess of the Skyworld are the same with the anitos, mere deities of the mortal world?"
Finally, the male deity Sitan could no longer stand her laughing. He said, "They don't know. And I hope you can now state the reason for your visit."
"I think you know." She laughed.
"Is it really because of a single soul here?"
She nodded. "Yeah, one of the recently deceased. Your servant, that goddess Anda, should be the one currently leading that person to the ritual of the dead."
"My pet said your sister Mayari is among the people currently undergoing the ritual," he said with mild irritation.
"Oh. No worries. One of my incarnations is also down there, searching for that soul. I won't let him rampage much, if ever. I hope you won't mind. Please don't interfere with our search. You know, it's a sacred competition so the less involved, the less who would know about it."
The man's eyes stared at her with a complicated gaze. He was silent for a few minutes before he nodded hesitantly. "Even though for me, your sister and your cause were really meaningless, I still wish you the best of luck. I will be the one to explain to Anda later. However, let me warn you, Andalapit's temper is not really good and she really hates deities like you who dwell in the Skyworld."
The woman's eyes had traces of laughter for an unknown reason. "Actually, you don't have to warn me. It's me who should apologize in advance because my sister Mayari is also very notorious above for her bad temper. Unfortunately, your Andalapit is merely a fifth-generation deity so I beg your pardon in case she faces off with my sister. You know, Mayari is the goddess of moon and war. Please excuse her for that. Your Anda is no match for her."
The Chief Deity of the Underworld gave her a brooding look. He was not offended by what she said since it was the truth. The two worlds Skyworld and Underworld had several deities living in it and their strength differed on either generation, or number of authorities wielded. As mentioned earlier, the daughters of the Creator, the woman before him included, was second generation deities wielding many authorities, while his concubine was merely a fifth-generation goddess.
But… "You seemed to be forgetting that I exist, Hanan." He said without a smile. "And that I'm stronger than you or your sister Mayari."
The woman only kept her slight smile.

The Ascension Chapter 114: Emotional
..."I don't recommend you to leave." Dehlia said with an inexplicable look on her face. Ley could see that she was sincere and serious. Something bad would happen if he tried to leave the island. That was what her words just now implied. Ley pressed his lips into a thin line. In his mind, he was a bit conflicted... and annoyed. After all, he knew the woman had no malicious intention, yet. The reason she was preventing him from walking out of this house was probably because she believed that she was his shelter and shield against the unknown threat that normally would spell trouble or, even, demise to outsiders. Yet he was annoyed since if he was not brought here in the first place, but to a hospital, none of these would happen. "Miss Dehlia, actually, I would have to tell you one thing." With a solemn look put on, he turned around to meet her in the eyes. This time, he was clear about the unusual care that showed in her eyes. Ley who wa

..."You, a mere thousand year old night creature of the mortal world wants to summon a filthy devil while I'm still on Earth?" Playing over and over again in the baffled guests' minds was the utter disdain on the woman's otherworldly beautiful face. As said a woman's temper and mind were like the weather, ever-changing and unpredictable. Days ago, she resolved herself to just check out the place and not appear in the actual gathering. But here she was, looking down disdainfully at the old Anito that hosted the event on the day of the gathering.

The Ascension Chapter 112: She Who Hated Red Moonlight
...A woman's shadow which was made apparent by her dress' shadow appeared inside a hall. The shadow appeared ominous as it stopped moving, seemingly to give way for the darkness of the night and the strange redness of the moon. Because of the angle, although she was only at the entrance, her figure seemed to have reached even the deepest part of the place. The dark shadow cast by the moonlight on the large dimly lit room could not appear more encompassing and frightening. Yet its owner seemed to be not aware. "Hmm... Quite the bleak atmosphere here..." A feminine voice as calm as the sea in a peaceful days faintly echoed.The words said referred to the site itself.The head of the shadow moved alongside the waterfall-like shadow of her hair. A couple of moments passed. Up above the clouds hiding the moon away slowly drifted past it. A sliver of moonlight passed through the red-colored glass to reveal the breat
