The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 507 – Inviting Friends (III)…

[POV Reo] 

It didn't take much time for me to invite Eric and his close associates. It has been some time since he has retired from his position. Both Emma and Raven have followed his example and retired from the position of his advisors… 

Eric's kids, Wanda and Pietro have grown up quite nicely, but neither of them were interested in leading Vesta. Wanda has decided to work in the Space Exploration team while Pietro has decided to work in the military. 

Eric has been living along with Emma and Raven, but their relationship has been somewhat complicated, but the three of them were completely fine with it. I invited Eric's whole family. Eric, Emma, and Raven happily accepted the invitation. Since Wanda and Pietro weren't home, Eric accepted the invitation for them. 

Then I went to meet Logan, after I killed Romulus, his life has improved for the better. He had been living in a remote location with his lover. Both of them were kind of liners, so they were completely fine living away from society. Even though we weren't that close, I still ended up inviting him and his lover. 

Now, I was heading to meet Ardat. Thankfully she was lazing around on her meteorite. I appeared on her meteorite and moments later, Ardat appeared from a cloud of red mist… 

"Well, this is a surprise…" Ardat muttered with a blank look on her face. I grinned and pulled her into my arms. She giggled and hugged me back. 

"So, how have you been Ardat?" I asked and she simply snorted. 

"You are acting like you don't know. You are Omnipresent" Ardat scoffed and I simply cocked my head sideways in amusement. 

"I do know how you have been, but I still asked you. It is rude not to ask something like that" I said with a grin and Ardat started to chuckle. 

"Well… you know. Everything has been pretty normal for me…" Ardat said with a shrug. "Let's go inside and have a drink" Ardat offered and extended her arm towards me. I accepted the offered limb and both of us disappeared in a red mist.

The two of us appeared inside Ardat's house which was carved inside the meteorite. Ardat had a private bar inside her house. She quickly grabbed two glasses and poured two drinks. She slowly extended one glass towards me with a grin on her face. 

"Try this… you will forget about that lake water you served me in your house" Ardat boasted. 

I intently stared at the glass for a moment before I picked it up. I sniffed the drink… I think I know this drink, and where this drink originated from but I can't remember if I have tried this drink before or not. I took a small sip and Fuck!! This drink is good! 

"You got this from that Black Planet, right?" I asked as I took another big sip from my glass. Ardat grinned and tipped the whole drink inside her mouth. 

"Yes… I thought you didn't know about that place. At least, I don't think you drank this until now" Ardat said and poured herself another drink. I followed her example and chugged down the whole glass. She grinned and poured me another drink. 

"Well, my dear, there isn't any place that I don't know of, but I can't remember if I have tried it before or not… Now that I think of it, I might have tasted something similar" I said with a thoughtful look on my face. 

"That's possible… there are a few different methods of fermenting drinks" Ardat added with a thoughtful look on her face and after a few moments, she shrugged dismissively. 

"I see… Well, I came here to inform you about something" I said and Ardat immediately perked up after hearing my words. "You see, I am getting married next month, I would be really glad if you are there" I said softly and unlike other women, Ardat didn't sequel in joy. 

"It's about damn time!!" Ardat exclaimed and slammed her glass on the table. "Now, I can finally get married to my Hydriana!" Ardat exclaimed loudly and started to cheer. I simply gave her a blank look after I saw her reaction. After a whole minute, Ardat finally remembered that I was still inside the room. 

Ardat slowly turned towards me and started to chuckle sheepishly. She slowly walked up to me and pulled me into a tight sisterly hug and started to laugh nervously. "Don't get me wrong, I am really glad for you, but for a moment, my selfish nature took over me" Ardat said meekly in a sheepish tone. 

"I understand…" I said with a smile and hugged her back. "So, what's this about you marrying Hydriana?" I questioned curiously and Ardat cleared her throat after separating from me. 

"Well… since you are our big brother, both of us had decided to get married only after you get married" Ardat revealed with a bright smile on her face and gave me a 'Praise me' look. I have no idea why they decided to make a decision like this, but I simply can't scold them for something like this. 

So, I simply placed my hand over her head and started to pat her head. Ardat seemed to be extremely pleased and beamed at me. "You didn't need to decide something like that, but I suppose it is fine. The two of you can arrange a ceremony followed by mine…" I said and Ardat eagerly nodded her head. 

"Yes!! That's a brilliant idea, I will bring up the topic when I Hydriana the next time" Ardat gushed out excitedly. I finally stopped patting her head and she started to pout. I spent the next couple of hours drinking with her, so I decided to bunk on Ardat's Meteorite for the night… 

After waking up… I decided to visit Gotzone and Lars. After that, I can visit a few friends from the Dark Faction… I think I shouldn't discriminate, I should invite a few from the Light Faction too or Ikkagen might start bitching and whining when I meet him the next time…
