[Eon's POV: ]
The Great Plains were vast so even while sitting in this backyard, we could see the vast grass fields that stretched on the horizon.
There were plain blades of green grass all around here, so places with so flower fields, so big and small trees where birds resided, and there were also small places where grass wasn't present.
'This was also one of such places where grass wasn't present for so reason.'
We didn't think much of this place when we noticed them throughout the grass field since there wasn't much special about them.
They were spots without grass in a grassland full of grass. There wasn't much we could have thought of this place.
'We were listening to her words with complete focus, but perhaps it was because our attention was slightly diverted in a way, or perhaps it was because of the sheer size of this being… but, neither of our eyes could possibly not notice that thing.'
It was massive.
Like, masssssssssssive!
"Oh, looks like you can see Albert. As expected of your sharp and truth seeing eyes."
She was smiling warmly as she looked at that massive thing with love present in her eyes.
Far from being surprised by that thing, it was clear that she not only was familiar with it, she also knew it well enough for her to have that loving look in her eyes.
'She said she is family of an eternity…'
So, it was at least clear that the thing we were seeing right now, the thing that I did not want to be sothing that actually existed there, was in fact an Eternity, a being on par with the creatures of mythos.
'Absurd…'
I could only see its faint outline and as it had beco invisible but the winds were making its outline clear.
It was a little difficult to grasp the true volu of this creature, but even from how much we can see it, we can tell this being was around three tis the size of Rein's grandma's giant turtle.
And that was just by height.
'A centipede-like creature from what we can tell, with countless legs that were the true culprits behind the grassless spots.'
I had used my third eye to look at the extent of this creature by looking at it from above, but still, it was just too large.
'This creature was at least a few kilotres long, was wide enough to cover three houses like the one beside us, and though we couldn't see all of it yet, I can tell its legs were three to four tis Rein and my heights combined.'
It was a kind of creature I had never expected to encounter ever in my life, not after seeing the true form of Master.
It was longer than the dragons ntioned in the stories, taller than the world turtles that were big enough to carry mountains and islands on their backs.
There was no presence to this creature so one can compare it's presence with the stealthy flight of a griffin as well, but, this being was none of those creatures…
"Albert! They can see you!"
{ "How is that possible! I'm not even moving!" }
"Stop hiding and co ask them yourself!"
{ "Can I do that?! They are only children! They might get scared!" }
"Then turn into sothing like them!"
{ "Oh! We can do that as well! Right!" }
"I you did not forget to bring the thing I asked, right?! You will have to go back you did!"
{ "I don't forget things like you do Wali!" }
The kind of conversation they were having was the kind of conversation mom would have with dad, or sothing Rein was I would say to each other on the most common and simple of the day.
There was a smile on her face, and anticipation in her eyes.
'Inferring the kind of relationship they had wasn't that difficult…'
But still, the thing they said to each other, that changing into sothing like us part… that was concerning.
[{ "Oy…" }]
[{ "I know. Just keep watching…" }]
Rein was stunned the first ti she saw the movents of the grass, and the way the winds collided with sothing in the space.
The winds of these plains were pretty special and the wind elent was prominent here as well so as soone that can sense the waterdrops the winds were carrying, she can tell there was sothing before us.
'She noticed that creature before , actually…'
-Ooooooooooooooooong!
But for the first ti, the invisible creature was revealing its original form.
"He had prepared himself to et you two, but since he doesn't like being around anyone else, he was shy and had gone for a walk.
You ca early so he didn't know how to co before you."
She continued calmly sipping on her tea as a light so great it was enough to blind any normal human for the rest of their lives covered the entire great pains of Adanca.
{ "Apologies, children. I know I'm a little clumsy, but please bare with a little." }
"It's fine. They are stronger than the children we have t until now."
The invisible great creature, an eternal being that cannot be put on the sa level as any other creature, a [White] ranked creature that possessed a level of mana that could not be asured with human standards… a true, elder eternal being revealed its true form before us.
"He's one of a kind… just like the rest of us."
With the blinding light, the skin of invisibility first vanished and revealed its original form…
[{ Wow… }]
A magnificent creature so large it seed to cover the entire plains in our sight, so tall it seed like we were nothing more than dust crystals, and it possessed so many legs that it was as if just the number of its legs could each carry the entire population of a big city.
Its exoskeleton was tough and green, with natural lights and unique patterns present all over it.
The eyes that were looking down at us, the ferocious eyes of a predator that could not be compared with anything either of us had witnessed in our lifetis, these red eyes were deep, just like blood.
'Celes was astonished.'
She wasn't speaking much since a few days ago since she couldn't forgive herself for whatever happened to .
There was no point in accepting herself as the one to bla, but she was not listening to anything any of us said.
She kept silent, said only when she had no choice but to speak, and just blad herself for being the weak one.
'She was practically locked in her mark as well.'
But she was still connected to so she could feel how I was feeling back then and she knew even though I was there, she could not co out and help with whatever was going on.
'She had not spoken much since then, but even she couldn't hold back her admiration for this absolute creature.'
It was majestic, it was phenonal, it was divine…
There might be words out there to describe how I was feeling, how we were feeling as we looking at its glorious beauty, but I know for a fact there aren't any words out there that could completely describe the uniqueness of this creature.
-Oooooooooooooong!
We wished we could keep looking at it but with another burst of intense green light, it changed its form, its entire body got covered in that light, and started shrinking down.
"We don't use the common language often so pardon if I say sothing I don't an."
The creature that seed like it could wrap around the entire world if it wished for it, the creature that resembled an insect like creature, that sa creature that made us all skip a heartbeat, in only a blink of the eyes, had turned into a human.
"Greetings. I'm Albertus or Albert as she calls . It is my pleasure to et the successor or as well as the successor of at the sa ti.
It will always surprise how you two have beco so close despite the opposite natures of your fates, but, after learning how the opposites are the best for one another from this pretty lady, I believe you two will see so good things on your journey together."
"You weren't supposed to say so much all at once, Albert…"
She shook her head with a palm on her face with disappointnt, and-… wait!
"Do you know my master?!"
"Hmm? All of us would obviously know her."
First of all, the giant insect-like creature had turned into a human that unexpectedly looked as attractive as King Salvio Neron Ned, the protagonist of my translation epic.
Tall and tough like grandpa, an old and wise air surrounding him, his eyes carrying light of ancient secrets, with his deep shiny green hair and those deep red eyes making him look unfathomably beautiful.
Second of all, he knew grandma!
'There's no other person that could have a grand title like that!'
He called her by a title I had never known about, but only she possessed white flas. Flas that could bring salvation to any being that needed it.
"You might not be as forgetful as but you certainly are too dumb for your age."
She grabbed his ear, twisted it… which might have hurt a lot, certainly, and made him sit him down beside her.
"Sorry about that. I didn't want you to get surprised like that."
She knew grandma as well… she knew everything about us!
Both of them…!
They knew everything about us from the start! Even things we did not know about!
"See. You started them!"
"Didn't you just say they are stronger than the others!"
"Not ntally, no! Not for things like these!"
These two…
"What… are you two?"
I wanted to jump up and get in a defensive stance but, I couldn't do anything right now.
"What did you do to her…?"
Sothing was happening with Rein, her eyes… they were glowing right now. She was holding my hand so tightly it was on the verge of breaking…
"Haaaa. This one's up to you."
"…tsk."
They were behind this.
Whatever he ant when he greeted her, it was the reason that caused her to be like that… he did that to her.
So, he better know how to bring her back to normal if he wanted this pretty house of theirs to stay in this state.
[{ *Master… I just unlocked another ssage.* }]
'What? This isn't the ti to look at her ssages Lucy! Don't you see-'
[{ *Um… it looks like we cannot postpone this one, master.* }]
The light before my eyes also vanished along with the two of them and the pretty afternoon scenery…
And it was sudden, but after a few weeks since back at the outskirts of sky island, once again, I was seeing the person I wanted to see every single day of my life.
