I'm not blaming you for anything nor am I angry, just frustratingly worried now. That is the position of a friend caring about their safety the way that you are. Envy and Wrath are another version of Lust and Gluttony, only with more psychopathy and less gossiping the days away for entertainment, that connection surely transcends timelines as we know it. Your Lord may not wish for me to see or feel it, but I have been sensing an itching rage bubbling under the surface with him knowing his frustrations with the disarray wracking his realm. If nothing changes, if someone doesn't mend the rifts, I'm fearing the worst.

Sorry, I didn't say anything sooner. I didn't know for sure that your Blair was the Blair I knew... nor did I really want to get involved with them again. Not after last time, but they have a tendency to pull me in. If there's anything I understand about those two brothers, they're always by one another's side no matter what, and that especially means going after each other's enemies– even if they aren't the brothers that the other knows. It will be hard to get my Lord to make any sort of action, but if anyone can get him to step in or assist in some way, it's you.

[divinely-helena]

Not really, it runs in the family. I'm Helena, officially Second Daughter, our parents had me after you and Aunt Celeste. You're my brother.

Sorta bad if yours is as brooding as I am currently. Who are you, anyway?

[divinely-helena]

You and my Rhys certainly aren't that different. It's not a bad thing, actually, kind of comforting.

I don't want to talk right now.

[divinely-helena]

And what a perfect combination it was, even with the unexpected guest appearance by a demi-god visiting his grandmother tree, as he called her. Wait, if you are in search of chatting it up with a god, I happen to know the God of Death himself should you want an audience with him.

Planning a romantic ceremony and celebrating with a friend? I couldn't think of a better way to spend our days stuck in a different timeline. Me, I'll be finding my nose in a book or conversing with as many gods as I can get my hands on.

[divinely-helena]

Hey, are you alright? I just came to check up on you and your cousin.

I was worried about you.

I leave for a little bit and all of a sudden everyone feels on edge.

[divinely-helena]

I know this is really cliche of me to say, but I never would have married them had I known who he really is. It's sad how I have to tell Blair something her own husband should've told her a long fucking time ago, but I'm not being another person who just kept her in the dark. If you think any version of King Envy made his appearance then it's realistic he and Wrath may have the wrong idea teaming up to fuck with her. I should probably talk with Death too, I might be pregnant, but I want to help.

Head spinning is the name of the game when it comes to them, and that pretty much sums it up very eloquently. No, you're right to do that, Helena– she deserves to have someone she cares about tell her before she finds out from someone else, and seeing that Cael is... afflicted in the way that he is, it falls on someone else's shoulders. He's not the only issue, though, and I need to talk to my master soon. Somehow, a King Envy has crossed over into this timeline. I don't know if it's their King Envy, but where Envy is, Wrath is never far behind.

[divinely-helena]

Fuck, my head is spinning more than it already was. Ramiel not only came very close to killing Blair and wiping their memories, but he found her again and screwed up taking incriminating information that would have ruined his relationship while simultaneously causing the one person who mattered to her to forget who she was. I will not kick his ass until my daughter is born, however, that does not stop me from telling Blair the truth her new husband is hiding from her. I don't care if he was waiting for the right moment or preferred doing it from his lips, I am banging on the Golden Trio mansion door and telling that poor girl everything.

It's... more complicated than that. It wasn't a coincidence, no, he was sent to kill her. Actually got close to doing it once, but he hesitated, and that's where I came in and helped Cael get Blair back. Assassins can wipe memories, and he did that to the cousins, but it doesn't work on my kind. I'm not going to get in the way of telling Blair anything; the gods know that she needs to know, but that's not the only issue. Cael discovered who Ramiel actually was, and Ramiel wiped his memory again. Except this time, the jackass went too far, and now Cael doesn't remember anything except for me. Not even Blair. This is where I get a bit gross about Ramiel and actually... advocate for him. He asked me for help because he knows he went too far– his feelings for Blair are genuine, but he's dug himself a hole too deep to get out of by himself. If you wish to do anything physically against Ramiel, I just ask that you wait until after the babe is born.

[divinely-helena]

That was really kind and considerate of you. I've only gathered bits and pieces about Death's family, you're the seer...right? Son of Cronus. It is lovely to finally meet you, Nikolai, I'm Helena.

I do love love.

I thought it was time to introduce myself. I didn't want to overwhelm you when you first crossed over. I'm Nikolai. Death is my Uncle.

[divinely-helena]

I know, I know, it was just a last minute thing and I barely had time to breathe much less tell anyone what I was doing. Next time, you will be the first person I call.

Wait, wait, hold up and stop the presses. You mean I married Blair to a demon assassin under Envy's employ? Them meeting, it couldn't have been a sheer coincidence. I need to tell her and then I'm making true to his nickname by ramming my foot so far up his ass.

It's okay, just please tell me where you're going next time. Especially as things grow more chaotic. I will not hinder what you're doing, but I will feel better if you have someone by your side.

Remember when I said that the cousins I helped are a magnet for trouble? Blair is the same one that I know. Her husband is a demon assassin— one of the best in the Demon King's arsenal.

[divinely-helena]

What else does a girl away from home have to look forward to anyway? It's the least I could do for a friend who clearly could not wait to marry her man in a grand wedding. They were practically running down the aisle.

I think that's a worthy thing to spend your time doing. Celebrating love is a wonderful thing, especially when there are so many people around who are overwhelmed by negative emotions.

[divinely-helena]

I'm sorry I vanished without telling you where I was going, Yasmin.

It was for Blair, yes. Why does that look like bad news on your face?

So, that's where you ran off to. Was it for Blair?

[divinely-helena]

Some unexpected positive things. I didn't anticipate organizing a secret wedding, but it was for a dear friend and her swoon-worthy husband.

At least there are some positive things happening within the chaos. Not nearly enough of it for my taste.

[divinely-helena]

I can go ahead and check officiating ceremonies from my list of accomplishments.

[divinely-helena]

You were always the best problem solver, Father.

One problem down, many more to solve.

[divinely-helena]

I'm always willing to learn new things if there are any more facts you are comfortable to share in the future. Not certain if the girl I met is a magnet for trouble, but she is an official Princess where she hails from, Blair even made me one to join the club we established. I have yet to test out the limits of Death's temper level, however, my guess is he could never grow angry with the mother of his daughter. I still commend you for going out on a limb and helping someone else, whether it's your job or not. Resurrection spells isn't magic you mess with, Yasmin. Who were they attempting to bring back or should I say who did they successfully bring back?

It's not necessarily a nice piece of lore that we talk about all that much. Those sound like the two I helped; they do attract trouble like a magnet, so, in all kindness, I hope it's not them. My Lord is not one anyone wishes to make angry, though he is very hard to do so, so my punishment wasn't as severe as it could have been. It was just a reminder of what my job is, and intervening in the life of mortals is not it. These people delved into extremely powerful magic, which was essentially taboo in the eyes of the gods. Especially when it upsets My Lord's designs– it was a spell to bring someone back to life who had been dead for a long time. She's a dear friend of mine.

[divinely-helena]

I'm so obviously mixed up in all kinds of scandal myself, so I approve. The stars align for a reason and they speak of me arranging a secret wedding for two people who can make anyone believe in love again. Ensure the man is dressed to the nines because you deserve nothing less. Operation Matrimony has a nice ring to it, actually. Go on then, Blair, get ready and let Operation Matrimony commence.

I can tell you now that Ram and I are quite the scandalous couple, for better or worse. Stop... Helena – I knew there was a reason we met; you're literally a godsend right now. Aye, aye, Captain. Grab a dress, grab the man, and head to the forest rendezvous. This makes me feel like this is all a spy movie... Operation Wedding. Operation... Matrimony. I'll come up with better names, probably.

[divinely-helena]

Hey, I'm not a judgmental person. It's a common occurrence sometimes if a family member doesn't like who another loved one is marrying. Though, I cannot condone anyone attempting to stop a wedding when it's clear two people are madly in love. A secret wedding sounds absolutely scandalous in a great way, girl. Alright...you and this Ramiel want to get married, I will make that happen. So, here's what you're going to do on your end, give me one hour. Raid your mother's closet for any white dress you can get your hands on and then meet me in a forest clearing after you grab your man. I'll give you directions, don't worry.

I'm going to let you in on a big secret. Now, don't judge Cael for this, but he doesn't... care for my fiancé. He thinks that just because Ramiel is a demon, it means he's out to get me. With that thought, though, he wants to stop our wedding. Cael is tenacious and hard-headed, and I have no doubt that he'll succeed in some parts, so Ram and I have decided to get married in secret and just celebrate with everyone else at the actual 'wedding'. It seemed easy in theory, but I don't even know the first step of even getting that set up– two demons getting married sounds outrageous, but... I want this to happen. We both do.
