"Erebus!" Ishtar gritted her teeth. She did not want this woman near Blake at all!
"Ishtar!" Erebus yelled back. "See, I can yell, too! Why yell when it does nothing? More importantly."
Erebus swung herself around so she was facing Blake and hung on to his neck while still wrapping her legs around his waist. "Wanna make babies? I promise it will be a cute one."
"Slut!" Ishtar yelled out. She never used this word, but for Erebus, she could not help it! The damn girl was trying to have sex with her husband.
"Wow! So mean. Ishtar, you will be hated if you keep using such words." Erebus grinned from ear to ear. She leaned in and kissed Blake on the lips. Blake of course did not mind. A beautiful girl wanted to kiss. Who was he to say no? Even his wives were here watching from the side as if it was some kind of show.
"Ahhh! Stop!" Ishtar wanted to blast Erebus away but she could not. Not with her holding on to Blake. And with how Blake was accepting it, she could only stand there and watch. She pouted and looked at Blake with a disapproving gaze.
Blake finally decided it was time to stop the farce, so he grabbed Erebus under her arms and lifted her off of him. He gently placed her on the ground, patted her on the head, and said: "Sit tight for a moment."
Erebus obediently nodded. Normally, she was unruly, but since she found someone she liked, she would be obedient to him. Ishtar sneered at Erebus's strange behavior. She looked at Blake who was walking over and wanted to say something but before she could Blake pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Her entire body felt like it was melting. His kiss always did this to her.
"Still mad?" Blake asked softly as their lips parted. Ishtar meekly shook her head. How could she still be mad? Her husband gave her a deeper kiss than he did to the bitch. She felt much better. Blake smiled and said: "Good."
With Ishtar's anger subdued, he turned to Erebus and said: "If you want to be with me you will need to have a contract placed on you. Are you willing?"
"Yes!" Erebus answered without hesitation. She bounced over with her hands behind her back and puffed out her chest as she waited for the contract.
Lillia walked over and placed her hand on Erebus's chest. She did not need to do this, but she wanted to get a feel for her new sister. "Erebus, this contract binds you to us all, just like it has for all of us sisters. If you accept this open your soul to me."
"Okay." Erebus nodded. She did not mind having a contract placed on her. After all, she saw how happy Ishtar was and wanted a piece of that happiness as well. She did not think it was fair that only Ishtar would get to be happy.
Lillia was quick, and the contract was placed quickly. While Ishtar was not happy, she had to admit having Erebus here was a huge boost to their strength. So far, their current strength was enough to face off against other higher gods. But some were to join forces; the battle could be rough. Minor gods were excluded from the rules set on the higher gods. But if someone were to break those rules, it would be a different story. There was no guarantee that Anu would enforce the rules.
"Lillia, can I join in on this sisterhood thing?" Sandrea was already bound by a contract, so she figured she might as well get something else out of the deal as well. She had been watching Blake closely during this time and felt that he was indeed a good catch.
Lillia looked at Sandrea and then at Blake who shrugged. Seeing this she knew he was leaving it up to her. She understood why Blake would choose Erebus but for Sandrea he would not do so. He would leave it for her to decide since she was the main wife. This was because Blake never had the intention of bringing Sandrea aboard but if Lillia wanted her to be part of the family then he would okay it. It was not that Blake did not find Sandrea beautiful; it was he did not know how the others would feel. After all, she came from a race that was trying to take over Earth.
Lillia thought for a moment before saying: "You realize that if you do this, not only will you be going against your own kind, right? You will be joining us in a war against the devils, your own race."
"That's fine. I have witnessed for myself what a world not under the control of my father looks like. And to me, this world is much better than that of the underworld. I do not wish to go back to that kind of world. I want to see the future that Blake builds and walk next to him as he does so. Alongside all of you, who I have grown quite fond of." Sandrea answered. She truly believed now, after seeing it with her own eyes, that the weak are able to do anything. She hoped maybe Blake would take down her own father and bring the underworld under his control. But from what she could see, this would not be possible. He did not want the underworld. He just wanted his home to be under the control of the people who lived there and not by invaders. She respected this and wanted to see the world that would spring up from his actions.
"Then as I said to Erebus, open your soul. This will be a different kind of contract." Lillia's eyes flashed and made sure that Sandrea could never go against Blake for all eternity.
Blake scratched his head. He seemed to be getting more wives even in the middle of a war. "We will have our first nights after we settle things here in the Astral Domain. Until then, please just wait."
