"Why can I feel you inside her?"
My sister pointed at the girl she was holding hands with. It was a simple question, but no words ca out of my mouth.
The gravity of the mont weighed heavily on , and I struggled to find the right words to explain the inexplicable.
I can't exactly tell her that we sohow beca lovers? After I planned an assault on her right?
'She would imprison on her realm imdiately'
"Sis! I missed you"
I decided to change the topic and imdiately hugged her small doll body. She didn't resist and hugged back; it seed our feelings were the sa.
The embrace was a montary respite from the strange, unspoken connection she had just pointed out.
"I missed you too, Ian," my sister spoke loving words as she hugged back. Her doll hands creaked like a broken toy before moving to wrap around my neck to hug .
In this surreal mont, our sibling bond was a comfort, a reminder of the love we shared despite the bizarre circumstances.
"Everyone is worried about your well-being, Ian. The Goddess of this world is hell-bent on preventing us from influencing it, though we didn't have any plans of influencing it in the first place" Sis explained.
The weight of her words hung in the air, a reminder of the danger that had brought her here.
"Uhm, sis, I appreciate your thoughts, but can you please put up a barrier? My spirit is dying right over there" I said while pointing at ralda.
She was coughing and breathing heavily, her body cracked with every word that ca out of my sisters' mouth, her mind, body and soul was struggling under the pressure of my sister's presence, a higher form of existence.
The pain she was feeling right now was likely imasurable, for she was a spiritual being herself. Just being in the sa space as my sister would probably shatter her existence, akin to an ant attempting to carry an elephant.
The magnitude of the strain she endured was overwhelming, as though the very fabric of her essence was threatened by the re proximity to Sis.
Fortunately, Sis's aura seed to have been purposefully restrained, like a tempest held in check, preventing the catastrophic consequences of a full-fledged encounter.
It was unintentional suffering on ralda's part, and I couldn't help but feel a tinge of pity for her, given that she had been worried about just monts ago.
'I better give her a reward later'
Sis raised her hands and cast a black, translucent barrier around us, shielding ralda from the overwhelming aura.
I looked at ralda once more, feeling a bit of pity, considering she was worried about monts ago and now she had to suffer like this unintentionally.
I should reward her with sothing later.
"Sis, can you tell the whole situation?" I said. I had so many questions to ask.
'Why is she here? What happened? Is everybody okay? How did she co here?
Is the seal broken?'
"Yes, but first…" she replied but trailed off, and pointed at Elena.
"Answer my question"
The weight of her gaze was demanding, insisting that I address her question first.
I gulped; I didn't know what type of reaction she'd give , but I guess I didn't have a choice. The truth was a heavy burden to carry.
"She's my lover…?" My voice quivered as I confessed, the admission hanging in the air, the unspoken complexities and implications of our relationship now out in the open.
My sister remained silent, perched across my shoulder, her gaze unrelenting as she fixed her unblinking eyes on Elena and .
Her contemplative silence hung heavily in the air, and it was clear that she was deeply absorbed in her thoughts.
Then, finally, she broke the silence with a pointed question, her voice carrying a mix of curiosity and a touch of disapproval,
"Did you do the deed with her?"
My response was a hesitant and almost reluctant, "..Yes."
The disappointnt in my sister's voice was palpable as she uttered, "First the maid and now this girl."
Realization washed over as I stamred, "Wait, you were watching with Analise?" My embarrassnt surged, making my cheeks burn with sha.
My sister confird my suspicion with surprising candor, "Yes, it wasn't just , you know. Everyone was watching you."
My jaw dropped in disbelief.
"What? what about my privacy?" I said aloud
Mortified by the revelation that my most intimate monts had been on display for an audience. I couldn't help but feel utterly embarrassed about the whole situation.
I had anticipated that my mom would be the only one watching if anything, as her apathy was quite predictable. It didn't seem to faze her even when I expressed my frustration or got upset with her.
She had a knack for saying unreasonable things like
"I'm your mother, so it is within my rights"
It was as if that statent alone could justify her actions and decisions, no matter how irrational they might seem. In her view, being a mother appeared to grant her an almost unquestionable authority, even in situations where it didn't quite apply.
'I expected her but not you guys' I looked at my sister her unblinking eyes looked straight towards , although her doll face always seed to smile, for so reason it looked like a smirk now.
"Ahh, I wanna die"
Not allowing a mont to lant or recover from my humiliation, my sister called out firmly, "Ian."
I turned my attention back to her.
"Do you love that girl?" she asked, her gaze shifting to Elena, who stood upright with hazy, unconscious eyes. Elena seed to be physically present but not fully aware of her surroundings, as her unhazy eyes sky blue eyes lost its color.
"I don't know" I replied firmly, my voice steady and resolute.
My feelings for Elena were still a complex tangle of emotions, and I couldn't definitively label them as love or re desire. I was still in the process of understanding my own emotions.
But my sister seed determined to delve further, saying, "But..."
I moved closer to Elena, taking her hands gently into mine. A soft purple aura emanated from my touch and spread across Elena's body.
Her eyelids fluttered, and she closed her eyes as she fell into a peaceful slumber, resting against my chest, her breathing soft and harmonious.
"I would like to get to know her better," I admitted, my words filled with sincerity.
"As soone who has ford a connection with her, I feel a responsibility towards her. I don't know if what I'm feeling is love or lust, but there's one thing I'm sure of – I don't want any other man to have her"
"She's mine"
My sister continued to observe in silence, her gaze locked onto as I carried Elena in a princess-like embrace, her head resting gently on my other shoulder.
"She's really light"
Elena's peaceful slumber was a stark contrast to the chaos and uncertainty that had recently surrounded us.
As I gazed upon her sweet, innocent face, untouched by the worries of the world, a warm and genuine smile crept across my lips.
Her presence, even in her unconscious state, held an enchanting allure. It was impossible to resist her endearing charm, and the affection I felt for her swelled in my heart.
I couldn't help but be drawn to her, compelled to lean down and place a tender, loving kiss upon her smooth forehead. Her skin was warm against my lips.
As I cradled Elena in my arms, a tender affection enveloped , and I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. mories of what had I planned to do her and the pain she had to endure, resurfaced in my mind.
The knowledge of how close we had co to tragedy weighed on my conscience, but it also strengthened my determination to protect her.
I held Elena even more tightly, as if to shield her from the past and the uncertainties of the future. In the hush of the mont, I made a silent promise to her, my voiceless vow resonating with sincerity
"Don't worry, Elena, I'll take care of both you and Analise, I'll do everything in my power to keep you both safe and ensure that nothing like that ever happens again"
With this silent pledge, I hoped to offer her a sense of comfort and assurance, even as I grappled with my own inner turmoil.
My sister stared at with her unblinking doll-like eyes. Suddenly, she extended her claws, and with surprising speed, she pointed them toward Elena's chest.
Startled and concerned, I quickly moved to shield Elena from my sister's unusual display.
"What are you doing, sis?" I asked, my voice filled with surprise and protectiveness.
My sister's tone was laced with animosity as she replied.
"She's connected to the goddess, you know? And now you're telling you want her as your potential wife?"
"I didn't say that," I protested, realizing that my earlier statent could easily be interpreted that way.
My sister retorted, "You basically implied it."
While it was true that I had thought about that possibility, I couldn't let my sister harm Elena in front of , especially when I knew that my sister didn't typically harm humans. I had to find a compromise.
"How about we make her yours or mom's apostle, then?" I suggested.
Sis tilted her head, in thought, it seed she found my idea intriguing as there were both benefits and disadvantages
by making Elena into their apostle especially considering that the Goddess of this world blesses her with high amounts of her divinity the mont, mom's or sis's authority and influence wash over her the Goddess would surely notice and that's sothing dangerous right now.
But that doesn't an there's no way around it, mom and sis can just casually influence and pour their divinities onto Elena before crushing any remaining influence the goddess had over her, before the goddess could even notice.
Although Elena would probably lose her status as a saintess in the church of light, but even if the church abandons her, she still has .
"Ok" my sister replied, nonchalantly
"Taking away her saint in a sense, would be a blow to that unreasonable goddess" my sister comnted.
Now with that out of the way I finally asked her the important question.
"Sis, what exactly happened can you tell the whole situation?"
"It's a long story but basically…"
…..
It seed that after the goddess pierced with her divinity, the authorities she held overwritten the authorities my family provided with, as such damaging the influence, they had over , my connection with them also damaged my family mbers directly resulting in them loosing against the goddess, in the power struggle they had in her realm.
As the fight happened in the goddess's own realm, my family mbers own divinity was weakened to the point that their divinities beca only as strong as mid-level gods, added the bonus damage they received from the severed authority, their loss was only inevitable.
But that didn't an they didn't do any damage to the goddess herself, after the fight it seed she got significantly weaker as she proceeded to seal the void crack my mother did, right now she was still reciprocating from their initial fight.
After so ti, Mom, being the perennial worrywart that she was, reached her breaking point. In a sudden and uncharacteristic burst of anger, she launched a surprise attack on the goddess.
The fury of her attack was so intense that it montarily rekindled her severed connection to .
This reconnection had an imdiate and startling consequence, manifesting as the ominous and powerful explosion that had just occurred, filling the air with dark energy monts ago.
I sighed heavily, unable to contain my own frustration, as I pictured the emotional turmoil and bewildernt my mother must have been grappling with.
Her shouts and vulgarity were unleashed directly at the deity's face, and simultaneously, she began to wreak havoc within the goddess's realm. With the goddess and Mom locked in combat, their attention fully absorbed, my sister saw her chance.
Sis seized the opportunity to slip through the open void, sending a fragnt of herself into this world. The goddess and Mom, both deeply embroiled in their fierce altercation, remained oblivious to her actions.
My sister had always possessed an uncanny ability to conceal her presence. Whether you were the highest-ranking god in your realm or a re mortal, if sis wanted to stay hidden, you simply couldn't find her. This elusive skill was precisely why she managed to materialize here undetected.
Even though only a portion of her essence had crossed over, sis was using her divine powers to mask her presence, knowing that the goddess would instantly detect her if she let her guard down.
"So, you're not really here?" I inquired, my voice laced with a mixture of relief and curiosity.
My sister nodded in response, her eyes conveying the depth of her connection with .
"Yes, my true body still resides within my own realm," she replied. The knowledge that she had taken such a significant risk by sending a part of herself into this world was both comforting and disconcerting.
The stakes were undeniably high. My sister's current incarnation, fragile and vulnerable in this realm, was not just any manifestation.
If, by any unfortunate twist of fate, harm befell her or she were to et an untily demise, the consequences would be permanent and far-reaching.
This was not a re inconvenience or a temporary setback; it held the potential to reshape the very fabric of her existence.
I looked at my sister with worry, but she shook her head and said "Don't worry, Ian. I have my ways, and did you forget that once I hide, no one can find ?" She reassured , confirming that she could protect herself effectively.
With a heavy sigh, I surveyed my surroundings once again – broken trees, destroyed landscapes, and a sight of pure, utter destruction.
The mory of William's untily accidental death crossed my mind. I knew that the academy would be in an uproar tomorrow as news of today's events would undoubtedly reach everyone's ears in a matter of days.
