"Damn it, boss, this is kidnapping," said Gerard.
Tsuki Miki needed to plan, and those plans didn't include Gerard, nor her prior knowledge of what he intended to do.
"No, it's not kidnapping. I haven't held you captive, nor have I imprisoned you anywhere. I'm sending you to various parts of the world; you can very well enjoy your time," said Tsuki Miki.
In Felicity's case, that year, he wouldn't have to worry about her for quite some time, unless she ran away.
She would stay there for that year, which turned into more than 30 years ago. He returned to the 1800s, trapped before the official name was adopted. This was Black Gate. If she didn't escape, and if she did, she would be a fugitive. By then, she would have time to plan what to do while neither Gerard nor Felicity would be around to interfere.
Keeping Dick away, and any of the boys as well, was also a plan to keep the members of the Warriors Society of Heroes away.
He would have a few weeks to plan...
For hours, they didn't even speak to each other.
Tsuki Miki started making enough excuses to avoid even her children, some reporters, and even contact with Cloud, former colleagues from the Warriors Society of Heroes.
According to his plans, this included spending some time in seclusion so that he could investigate.
He had deep dark circles under his eyes and didn't look well; he was thin, couldn't hide it even with makeup, was pale and hunched over, and had white streaks in his hair.
That was strange even for him; he looked at him with a constant expression of pain on his face. At that moment, Tsuki Miki was trembling.
Well, he went to Luther 's tower , panting, wearing a dark suit.
"What do you want, Luther ?" he said.
- It seems I scare him. – Entering his office.
"The situation of the finite," said Tsuki Miki.
His vision left Lex speechless; he looked even worse from the outside, deciding that there was no point in using his makeup or anything else.
"You're faking being sick," Luther said , looking at him.
"It doesn't look like everything they imagined," Luther said.
"Yes, this is to maintain appearances," Tsuki said, taking a glass of wine that had been offered to him. His lips were dry and bluish; looking at himself in the mirror after what he had felt, it wasn't frightening.
"I want to try to hide from the demons and their attempts to unite with a dark god through a relationship," Tsuki said.
"Then that's what your trip is for," Luther said .
"Yes, I have a trip planned to sort this out at the end of the month," said Tsuki Miki.
"Do you intend to return?" Luther asked .
"I intend to come back better," Tsuki Miki said. "These are just bad days," he said.
- I understands. – They were heading towards Lutheran 's dinosaur museum , going down the elevator with him.
"You had something to share with me before you saw me," Tsuki Miki said.
"Do you know about that Helionian and the Warriors?" Lutheran asked .
"They only know that I'm taking a year off, but it's become more than 30 years ago; he's returned to the 1800s for a sabbatical," said Tsuki Miki.
If I didn't say why, and they didn't understand.
They are coming here. – Luther said . – I have something to share with you. – Luther said .
About that.
Tsuki went to meet each of them; the demons gave her a clue.
4 weeks before the current events.
He got involved in a plan; there was a project he was involved in that involved betting.
Circe was involved in the gambling schemes; she cornered him, grabbed him, pinned him against the wall, and kissed him.
"Just because you're promised to Darkness doesn't mean I can't have a little fun," the goddess said.
"Well, I promised him my ass, not all my parts. My first time from another angle is his; the rest, I can share," Tsuki said.
Meanwhile, while they were having sex, they were thinking up schemes and turning people into non-human animals.
That was a mystical building; Circe had shown it to him as a favor in exchange for his help in freeing her from a plan that would allow her to escape. At that moment, he managed to see her elsewhere; he had to find her to propose a deal.
"Would you like to pretend to be dating me in your spare time?" he asked her, as she helped him escape during his getaway when she raided the island of the Amazons.
"I'll do my part, I've given my word, and you keep yours," he said.
"What would you like first?" she asked him.
"The underworld has a gambling house; I want you to show it to me and let me participate," he requested.
The gambling houses in the city of Tamatori were notorious among mystical villains and the underworld of magic.
Tsuki Miki got involved with gambling, and it was a gambling house that no heroes entered, but demons did. It was just an invitation, which he accepted, interestingly enough, because he was inspired.
He had been summoned more than enough; according to the gods and demons, if it wasn't him, it would be someone else, so there was no real choice.
The negotiations were the best; he never thought he could describe what it was like to negotiate with multiple demons. He was human, even though some time ago he simply thought that with their influence, it wouldn't last much longer.
Initially, he shouldn't have done it, but he did it anyway; it wasn't against the rules, but nobody stopped him from doing it.
That was the personification of the Black Dragon lord; everyone saw this happening, in which the lord of fear, he is a hero who, in an adventure, became involved in his companions' plan to save the world, even against common sense, against his best thoughts, he was against the plan, it seemed they didn't listen to them, the excuse was that he was one of the only heroes.
Those who lacked power should let the great hero of the sun be the master of it, that damned envoy from a higher plane, the priestess corroborated this, they called him a denier, at that moment, he argued, he had no support, so he yielded, in the middle of the adventure, against everything he thought, he yielded even more, letting them be guided in this adventure.
In the midst of the grand operation, in this twist, amidst their progress, it was yet another setback; everything there screamed trap. It was a scenario, which seemed different, where the Sands of Time unfolded with that entity, which could send them back to the end and the beginning of everything.
He never believed in prophecies.
He tried to bring in the voice of reason.
You have no powers, you're just jealous of who Kal is. He's the chosen one, I know, I saw it. He has the power that so many prophecies speak of, he is, I'm sure of it.
Neither in gods nor in promises of redemption, he raged against everything he believed in, in an argument, nonetheless, in which he yielded.
Tsuki - While the man without powers - At that time, when he wore black not as a uniform, but as a condemnation, there was a problem that he was always in the middle of, his lack of will was in contact with his friends.
While he was the last mortal among gods and demons, the man who saw the error before the disaster.
That's how it always happened, just like always, nobody listened to him.
Proceeding to the Council of Heroes, they gathered under the glare of the Eternal Sun, in a city built between dimensions.
It was there that they were-the Great Solar Hero, the Priestess of the Stars, and the warriors of a thousand races. They all spoke of "salvation."
Tsuki, in silence, knew what it was: ritualized suicide with flags of hope.
