A Journey That Changed The World.

Archer and the three women returned to Emberport only to see something happening in one of the city squares. He wondered what was happening, causing him to approach as the Oathkeepers followed behind him.

When they got to the crowd, they noticed a Dragonblood Knight was on his knees while Legionnaires circled him. This caused Archer to grow curious, and he asked, ''What's going on here?''

As the words left his lips, everyone stiffened as the Draconian commanders turned around and knelt before one of them explained as he pointed to a group of people huddled together, ''This man butchered a sun elf like a monster and injured three more.''

Archer looked at the giant man, who looked like the spectacle did not bother him. He stepped forward and asked, ''Why did you kill the man?''

''They disrespected you, my king, and I believe their spies for the Duskfire Empire,'' the Dragonblood Knight answered in an honest voice.

Without waiting, he casting Mana Manipulation and dragged one of the squirming women to him. Archer cast Soul Eater and started eating the elf's memories before dropping her as she let out a scream.

When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they were shocked, but he grinned before looking at the kneeling man, ''Get up. Do you wish to join the Oathkeepers? I want extremely loyal men like yourself around me.''

Archer observed the man's eyes widen in shock as he took in the sight of the giant knights encircling him and the three women. After a moment of stunned silence, the man nodded, his expression shifting to one of resolve.

With a deep bow, he introduced himself. ''I'm Talon, my king,'' he said, his voice steady. ''It would be an honor to join the legendary Oathkeepers.''

''Good,'' he replied to the big knight before sending a message to Leira asking if she was in the lab.

The cat woman quickly replied, 'Yes, Nefi and I are working on the Oathkeeper project. In the next year, you'll have ten more squads of them to work with.'

Archer was happy hearing that but revealed the reason for him contacting her. 'I have a Dragonblood Knight here who wants to become one. Should I send him over?'

'Yes!' Leira replied in a cheerful voice. 'The Imperial Guard will escort him in, but do you mind if we create some knights as bodyguards for the harm?'

'Four per girl?' he suggested. 'They are beasts and can hold the line until help can come.'

Silence followed until she answered, 'Sounds good to me, handsome. Can I see you soon?''

Archer chuckled and reassured she was being the first one he would come see once things were normal on Avidia. The cat woman was content with the response and asked him to send Talon through.

Following that, he ushered the Dragonblood Knight through the portal after he saluted. Once the big man was gone Archer turned to the remaining commanders before revealing with a smirk, ''He's right. All but one are spies for the Duskfire Empire.''

When the surrounding Draconians heard this, they gasped, but he quickly broke the elf's neck with a snap of his wrist while speaking, ''Kill the rest and lock down the mountain pass. No more traders or visitors.''

Everyone saluted before killing the remaining fire elves, causing Morena to giggle as she revealed, ''If you like husband, I can turn these vermin into more soldiers. Because their elves, me and baby sister can create monster hybrids.''

Archer shivered when hearing her innocent voice asking such things. He shook his head and replied with a chuckle, ''You can do what you like with them, but try not to scare Lucrezia. Especially Demacia.''

Morena giggled. ''She is gruesome. Some things she's done while you've been there would have put off any other man, but here you're loving everything we created,'' she said with a big smile.

''Yes, I like two necromancer sisters who love to experiment with humans and turning them into my fighting machines while trying to get in my pants?'' he teased the older woman.

When Morena heard this her cheeks reddened but she nodded, ''Yes you're correct and you know we both adore you but this is time I return to the Domain to continue work with my new test subjects.''

As the four stood talking, a stunning fire elf woman approached Archer, her movements slow and measured, a seductive smile playing on her lips. With his back turned busy chatting, she reached out to touch him it was slapped away with a sharp crack.

Morena stepped forward, her blue eyes gleaming with icy fury. ''Move on, slut,'' she hissed, her voice cold. ''Don't even think about giving my husband those eyes.''

The fire elf's face twisted in anger. But before she could retort, Morena's voice was a low, dangerous growl. ''Fuck this.''

In a blur of motion, the white-haired woman unleashed a savage punch, her fist connecting with the elf's face with a deafening crack. The force of the blow sent the fire elf hurtling down the street, crashing into the cobblestones.

Just then a knife clattered to the ground causing the elf woman's face to pale as Morena asked Kassandra and Lucrezia, ''Girls, do you want to help me deal with this assassin?''

They agreed with determined nods just as the sun elf stood defiantly, her eyes blazing with arrogance. But the three women were a storm about to break. Morena moved first, her fist cutting through the air and slamming into the elf's stomach, knocking the breath from her lungs.

Lucrezia followed, delivering a spinning kick to the elf's ribs, sending her crashing to the ground with a sickening crack. Kassandra was next, her movements swift as she grabbed the sun elf by the hair, yanking her head back.

Without hesitation, she drove a brutal knee into the elf's jaw, snapping her head to the side. The sun elf gasped, blood trickling from her mouth. Morena stepped forward, her gaze cold as she looked down at the defeated elf.

''You thought you could outsmart us,'' she said, her voice laced with disdain. ''But now your fate is sealed.''

With one final coordinated strike, the three women moved as one. Lucrezia's fist landed squarely in the elf's chest, knocking the last of her strength out of her. The elf crumpled to the ground, barely conscious, and with a swift motion, Kassandra seized her by the arm, dragging her to the Oathkeepers waiting nearby.

''Take her,'' Kassandra said, her voice icy. ''The sentence is death, and it's yours to carry out.''

Archer watched the elf woman screaming as she was being dragged away, causing him to glance at Morena, who stood in front of him. 'I've been horrible to her. She does truly care for me,' he thought while feeling guilty.

He opened a Gate back to the Domain before speaking to Lucrezia and Kassandra, ''Can you girls wait for my in the treehouse? I want to talk to Morena.''

When the older woman heard this, her body stiffened as she turned around with a worried expression. The other two agreed and kissed him goodbye as Morena got nervous even more as she spoke, ''Is everything okay Arch?''

Archer's smile softened, his eyes filled with warmth as he asked a question that would change everything. ''Do you want to be with me?''

Morena's eyes widened in surprise, her heart racing as a whirlwind of emotions surged within her. She shook her head in disbelief, her voice barely a whisper. ''Do you mean this... truly?''

His gaze never wavered, his sincerity clear. ''I do. And that goes for Demacia, too.''

The words hit her like a wave, and before she could think, she lunged forward, wrapping her arms around him in a tight, almost desperate embrace. ''Thank Goddess Tiamat,'' she murmured, her voice thick with relief and joy. ''I thought you didn't feel the same anymore, with all the young women around you.''

Archer held her close, his heart swelling as he whispered, reassuring her that his feelings had never wavered and for the first time in a long while, Morena felt truly at peace. Seconds later, she looked at him, ''Can you ask, little sister? She would be happy if you did.''

''Of course,'' he said with a smile. ''It's about time I returned the love you two show me.''

Archer and Morena stepped into the Necromancer's home within the Domain, the air thick with the scent of ancient tomes and arcane power. Shelves lined the walls, filled with dusty books; flickering candles cast soft light across the stone floors.

She led him through the hallways until coming to a lab where Demacia was sitting at a table going through paperwork while mutter. The younger necromancer didn't notice them until he approached with a knowing smile.

When close enough Archer grabbed her by the waist before whispering into her delicate ear, ''It's me Dem.''

''So lucky you spoke, I was just about to blast you with a spell handsome,'' Demacia said while leaning into him with a radiant smile.
