As a plan began to form in her mind Mittelt grinned and began searching for the boy, making sure that none of those devils had caught up or were following her.

Eventually after a couple of minutes of fruitless searching she found him walking down a deserted street, looking further ahead the Fallen Angel saw a bunch of delinquents crowding around a street light.

Laughing at her fortune Mittelt descended down onto the ground behind a building before approaching the delinquents, sometimes looking like a child did have its perks.

There was a dead silence in the usually loud and boisterous halls of the large castle, hidden from the mortals in the Otherworld.

No songs were sung, no drinks were drunk, not even any fights were breaking out as the all stared at the black clad women in shock.

"Could you please repeat what you just said?" asked a large muscular man as he put down his tankard, even though everyone knew it was an order rather than a request.

The black clad women just sighed as she repeated her earlier statement, "the source of that power we felt was Gae Bolg.

It is currently in the possession of a teenage human whom has clearly already mastered its primary function."

"Impossible we have Gae Bolg currently stored and protected here!" thundered the man angrily.

The woman nodded, "yes we have our Gae Bolg stored here but this spear, this Gae Bolg is not ours."

"What are you talking about woman? I don't have time for your word games!" growled the man.

She just sighed, "I don't quite understand it myself but the Gae Bolg that boy uses is not ours."

"So it is just a well-made fake then," stated the man as he started to calm down.

"No," replied the woman with a shake of her head once again drawing everyone's attention. "That spear the boy used was no fake Lugh.

I don't know how but they are both real, they are both Gae Bolg and yet, they are both different, it is maddening."

"That is not possible there cannot be two Gae Bolg's in existence," frowned Lugh as he glared at the black clad woman.

The woman gave a smirk, "just as it's impossible for Gods to exist? Or for a spear to rewrite fate itself?

Or for the Otherworld to be real? Lugh you should really know by now that nothing in this world is impossible."

The man just sighed before taking a swig of his ale as he began rubbing his head, "do you remember the time when the world made sense?" reminisced Lugh wistfully.

"No," deadpanned the woman.

"Neither do I, in fact something tells me I'm going to need more alcohol before this conversation is over," admitted Lugh with a sigh before ordering another round of drinks.

The woman refused when he offered her a drink and instead just sat down in the seat opposite Lugh as the rest of the drinkers slowly returned to their merry-making. "

Be honest with me, are you absolutely sure that it wasn't a fake?" asked Lugh with an almost pleading gaze.

"I'm sure Lugh. I've been on the receiving end of that spear before, I know what it feels like and that lance the kid used gave off the exact same aura," she confirmed with a sigh of her own.

"Great what's next? Excalibur reappearing?" grumbled the man as he downed another drink.

"Lugh…there's something else," informed the woman.

"Of course there is, well spit it out then," sighed Lugh.

The woman seemed to hesitate which caused her companion to raise an eyebrow in confusion, after all the years he'd known her she'd never had any trouble speaking what's on her mind.

The fact that she would struggle here immediately snapped him out of his drunken state as he stared at her, realizing that it had to be important.

"What's this the great Morrigan holding her tongue? Now I know the world is ending," he joked, snapping the woman from her trance.

"Oh well you're loud enough for the both of us anyway," replied the woman with a smile.

Lugh just gave a bellowing laugh before his expression turned serious, "well I can't argue with that. But seriously Morrigan what's wrong?"

She sighed tiredly and stared at him in the eyes, "when I first tracked down the boy he was having what sounded like a nightmare and do you know what he said during it?"

"Ferdiad and Connla," she announced, making Lugh drop his tankard in shock as ale spilled all over the table.

"I see," he muttered quietly as he looked down on the table.

"Not only that but once he woke up the boy was in a panic until for no reason at all he began to calm down and I could have sworn I felt his presence, if only briefly.

Later he sparred with a Devil Knight of the Gremory household and he was using his fighting style," continued Morrigan in hushed whispers.

"Have you told anyone else about this?" asked Lugh.

Morrigan shook her head, "no I only told the others about the Gae Bolg incident, as far as they know there is somehow a second Gae Bolg in existence and it is being used by a skilled human nothing more."

"Good keep it that way," ordered Lugh, much to the shock of his companion. "I know what you're suggesting Morrigan but it's not possible, after all my son isn't dead yet."

A pained look crossed her face as she sighed, "Lugh he's been missing for years. I think it is time to accept the inevitable, Cú Chulainn is not coming back."

"And you're saying this boy is his reincarnation? You know I don't believe in that crap, just look at that so called Heracles. The real deal would have destroyed him easily,"

he scoffed and downed another tankard.What other explanation is there?! How else could he have obtained that spear,

known that fighting style and more importantly known those names?!" she argued heatedly and stood up from her chair.
