Chapter 180: Is She a Descendant of Juliet?
Nevertheless, what was done was done, and now it was up to the person who would be sent to find out where this little girl's ancestry could be traced. Everyone knew who was the best man for the job. All eyes turned to Moros.
Moros took a deep breath when he saw the eyes on him and then asked, "Shit. What now?" he asked, shaking his head as if he realised what was happening, and then opened the message window, saying, "All right, I'll let Ariel know."
[I need you to look into the background of the little girl James took the necklace from, Ariel, it's really urgent.]
While Ariel was putting the children in their rooms, she saw this message window in front of her and looked at the little girl who was still standing next to her when she read the message from Moros.
She seemed to wonder what the identity of this little girl was, which made even fate itself curious.
"Leave it to me, Moros, it's okay," Ariel said, and with that, her mission began.
After placing all her children in their rooms, Ariel finally placed the little girl in her room and walked in with the little girl and asked, "Can you tell me about your mother, little lady?"
When the little girl heard this question, the light in her pupils changed, and her star-green pupils, which had been shining with a white light, turned blue. Quite the stellar.
Even if Ariel didn't understand what was happening, it wasn't something she needed to question.
"My mum was the best! She always told me that our bloodline was made up of heroes! We are what we are because our bloodline made mistakes in the past, unforgivable mistakes. I don't know what happened, I apologise."
Ariel shook her head as she heard those words, just as a message window popped up in front of her:
[Can you ask the girl her mum's name?]
Reading the message from Moros, Ariel shook her head from side to side and then turned to the little girl and asked, "Do you remember your mum's name?"
The little girl shook her head from side to side to indicate that she didn't know, and then said, "My mum was a slave, slaves don't have names..." the little girl's eyes welled up with tears, and you could see how much she missed her mum.
Ariel thought it was over, she was about to tell the girl to go to sleep when another message popped up in her window.
[Did the mother tell the little girl who got the necklace first? This question is very important.]
This time it was from Nyx herself, and Ariel realised that the girl she was questioning was a hundred times more important than she appeared.
"What about that necklace, did your mum tell you about the first person who bought it?" Ariel asked.
The little girl paused for a few seconds and had just nodded her head when she suddenly spoke, looking at Ariel as if something had suddenly occurred to her:
"When my mum showed me the necklace, she told me about a beautiful woman, a woman who signalled darkness and light, she said that she was our ancestor! I can't remember her name..."
At the little girl's words, everything seemed almost certain.
"Can you try to remember it for me, please?" Ariel asked, and when the little girl nodded her head in the affirmative, she waited.
After a minute or so, the little girl smiled and then said, "Juliet! My mum called that woman Juliet."
Now everything was finalised.
"Are you kidding me, Juliet was the one Desmond gave the necklace to?" Hyperion was suddenly on his feet, shocked by what he had just heard, he had never thought he would hear that name.
All the Titans were in the same shock as Hyperion, Juliet was one of the people who was on Desmond's side no matter what she was the only one who managed to become the head of the White Witches, yet that woman had been dead for a long, long time, a woman who had sacrificed her life for Desmond before the main war had even started.
It was incomprehensible that this woman could even have a child.
"I don't understand, that woman didn't choose a god or goddess just like Desmond, so there's no way we can find out what happened?" said Rhea.
"What about Chaos? What is his purpose? What's his purpose in putting Abby's soul in that necklace?" Chronos asked, time itself unable to comprehend what kind of event was unfolding.
"Could it be that he wanted James to create an army? James is not like Desmond, maybe he wants the White Witches to exist again." Erebus said, making sense to everyone.
"It's not unreasonable, after all, the White Witches were split in two, it was a tragedy that those who remained loyal to Desmond died, and those who broke their allegiance and betrayed them were just puppets. Either Chaos wanted to give James a chance, or we've got it all wrong," Hyperion said.
Nyx shook her head, and after a few seconds, she said, "If the little girl is Juliet's descendant, one of us must bless her. If my father wants the army to come back, or rather, if he wants James' army to be created, then we cannot withhold our help in that endeavour."
Hearing these words, Themis shook her head and said, "Times have changed, it has been a long time since the fate of the tower has moved. We can no longer behave as we used to, we have been at the top for too long, and we have forgotten that those below can live." and made it clear that she supported Nyx.
With those words, everything became clear, if what the little girl said was true, and it was very likely that it was, this was a huge deal.
If Juliet's lineage was still alive and she was not the only one left, James could have one of the most powerful armies he could ever have. The White Witches could take on the warriors of Olympus, the Valkyries of Asgard, and even the followers of the Chaos-Born, which was what had nearly killed Hyperion.
In Desmond's hands, they were one of the three most powerful armies that had ever existed, which is why the betrayal had been so severe.
