Chapter 489 Visions & Sentiments

Chapter 489 Visions & SentimentsChapter 489 Visions & Sentiments

In the early hours of eight in the morning, little Gabbrielle had just woken up from her slumber and was now getting ready for the day.

Today was a very important day in Sheol, and she was going to have to put a bit more effort into her look than normal.

She started out by ducking into her bathroom to take a short bath and shake off the lingering drowsiness.

Once out, she put on a very thick, fluffy bathrobe that bordered on looking like a mink coat.

She took a seat at the small desk inside of her room, and got to work on some small maintenance.

After combing her hair, she opened up her jewelry box and found every precious gem imaginable in the form of earrings, necklaces, brooches, and anything else her father thought to gift her randomly.

"What do you think would suit me the best?"

A shuffling noise came from underneath the covers before a familiar black puppy poked it's head out into full view.

Little Black is Thea's own personal pet, but sometimes the former guard dog of Helheim comes to hide in the room of the third princess when he is tired of being suffocated by breasts.

The small dog leapt out of Gabbrielle's bed and trotted over to her side.

She lifted him up so that he could take a look inside of the box and waited for his all important decision.

"...Arf."

"Amethyst earrings, huh? Extraordinary taste you have."

The decision made, Gabbrielle started planning how she would get ready for the day, when suddenly there was a knock at her door.

Gabbrielle waved a hand to open it, and was relatively surprised to find Lailah standing outside.

"Mama? I thought that you were supposed to be getting ready?"

Like Gabbrielle, Lailah also had on a bathrobe and her hair was wrapped up in a white towel, ready for styling.

She stepped inside and closed the door behind her before coming to Gabbrielle's side.

"I am, but I stole a moment to sneak away from Oshun while she helps the other girls with their wedding looks..."

If Gabbrielle wasn't able to sense that something was wrong with Lailah by her demeanor alone, then the way she depressingly rested her head on her shoulder was a dead giveaway.

"M-Mama?"

"I guess you were right, darling. This foresight divinity wasn't just for the hell of it. I had my first vision this morning... about our family."

Almost immediately, Gabbrielle felt her heart drop.

Seeing the future is a tricky thing even for gods; hence why only a few have the ability.

Only the Norns and Fates have the ability to see it constantly without interruption, and some say that is the reason why they lack their sanity.

'Man often meets his fate on the road he takes to avoid it.'

The path to self destruction is paved with the bodies of beings who have tried, and failed, to avoid fates that they have seen in visions.

Lailah is paranoid enough about their family's safety as it is, so Gabbrielle could have only imagined the toll it was taking on her.

"This vision... what was it about?" Gabby asked softly.

At that moment, there was a loud bang as the rest of the wives came rushing in, along with Oshun.

All were in bathrobes, and in the process of getting their hair done in ways that were most fitting for them.

They were gorgeous like none other, but as panicked as they could be.

Bekka: "There you are!"

Erica: "We were freaking out!"

Tatiana: "I-I don't feel pretty, do I look pretty?!"

Lisa: "I-I think I'm too bloated, what if I don't fit into my clothes in a few minutes?!"

Seras: "Audrina made sure we can all polymorph, just shrink your stomach!"

Lisa: "S-So you think it needs to be shrunk?! Y-You're so mean..! WAAAHHH!!"

Seras began to apologize profusely while the rest of the wives crowded around a sobbing Lisa.

As a storm deity, her turbulent emotions caused arcs of bright blue lightning to run across her body, and a little storm cloud to form above her head.

The love goddess Oshun took a moment to bury her head in a nearby corner.

'N-No more dragon weddings... I can't take much more of this... I don't know if I am going to last through the day... I hope I die halfway through.'

Ironically enough, no one seemed to be comforting the woman who needed it the most.

Gabbrielle looked at the small puddle forming within her room and then returned her gaze back to Lailah.

"...Would this also be considered the miracle of family?"

"Eh, more like the miracle of love." Lailah said fondly. "There is nothing in life that makes you feel more insecure, worshipped, nervous, or fearful. But it is without a doubt the best thing that I have ever subjected myself to."

Gabbrielle stared at her mother fondly as she pulled out a pen and notepad. "That was beautiful, mama. Mind if I use that?"

"Hahaha! I do actually! You can't just steal my vows to your father, little miss. What I just gave you was a little sneak peak."

"Tch."

"Don't 'Tch' me!"

Gabbrielle giggled as Lailah tickled her fiercely and the two of them shared another soft moment.

It would have likely continued for longer, but Gabbrielle suddenly thought of something that made her pause.

"I wonder what father's vows will sound like..?"

At this, Lailah grew a large, dopey smile on her face.

"Your father is truly the most romantic being that has ever breathed..! I am sure that he has written something that will bring us all to tears and reaffirm exactly why we love him so!"

- In Abaddon's Bedroom

Currently, the appointed 'most romantic being who has ever breathed' was sitting in his pajamas on the couch.

Resting in his lap was a blank piece of paper with the word 'Vows' written across the top.

"I'm so fucked..."
