"There's nothing in here?" Ryan said, as he observed the interior of the portal he had just entered. After a few teleports with the help of the guild's equipnt, he found the place where the compass was taking him.
"That is so empty"
The portal had thrown him into a completely dark hall, there was no sound other than Ryan's voice. He had no sense of distance or depth, and he couldn't find a wall or even the ceiling or the floor, everything seed distant.
Walking through the confusing place, he ca across a wooden table. On top of it was a white leather book with gold pages beside it, the letters glowed in a glistening blue color.
"I've seen this before"
"Nyx?" He said, when he realized that the voice of the succubus was no longer in his head.
"Huf - I have no reason to deny it"
As he touched the book, the feeling Ryan's body had was extrely similar to the day he t that white haired girl. A warmth surged through his fingers as he felt the beating of his heart echo throughout his body. The flow of blood from his arms and legs centered in his chest as he felt a strange energy surge through his fingers.
---------------------
[Do you accept the reward?]
[Yes] [No]
---------------------
"Yes"
The table suddenly disappeared and again, Ryan was alone in that darkness. In his hand, that strange white leather book glowed with a glistening, golden color that was the only source of light within that strange area.
Opening the book with both hands, he was faced with empty pages, until an intense light appeared just above the book. The silhouette of a woman had ford, with her long hair falling from top to bottom. Her body was completely transparent, but she remained glowing as if she were so kind of glass or blooming ice.
This girl had elfin ears, a detail that caught Ryan's attention. When the glow ceased, the girl's body transford into a physical form, revealing light skin and black hair. Ryan took a few steps back, and carefully observed what was happening.
On top of the girl's head a golden halo appeared, and with a flutter of wings it lit up the entire dark room. Several feathers were falling from the pair of white wings she had on her back, and each feather shone and illuminated the darkness. As if she was waking up from a dream, the girl opened her eyes slowly and turning her face away she looked curiously at Ryan.
She approached him with slow steps and then jumped close with a strange look on her face, her eyebrows were raised as she approached with her nose on his chest.
- I know your sll -
Her voice was echoing in his ears the sa way Nyx's voice did. Sighing, he had connected the dots.
"So that was the reward," he concluded.
A light appeared above the room, and within seconds Ryan and the mystery girl fell into an empty space. The feeling he had was the sa as falling into a pool full of hot water, when his body lost that feeling he had returned ho.
"Thank you guardian of life, this ti I won't have to go ho" he said aloud as he looked at his living room completely intact.
Ryan turned to Nyx who was sitting on the couch, and at the sa instant she stood up and stared at him. The succubus' face was pale and frightened, and with a step back she stepped back.
Tears were falling from her face, without sobbing or screaming she was just crying. When Ryan turned back, he saw that girl with white wings and a golden halo on her head. That elf was crying too, tears were falling down her beautiful blue eyes that sparkled as she watched the succubus.
The two approached each other, and with a little trepidation, they reached out their hands to touch each other. The succubus put both hands on the angel's face, drying her tears as she looked at her confused. The angel did the sa thing, drying the white haired girl's tears.
"Is this a dream sister Nyx?
"It's not, Lux"
* * *
Nyx and Lux remained talking for several hours, comnting on the tis they lived together with Mama Holga and what life was like in Crystaldrift.
"So you two had pretty similar fates" Ryan said, as he watched the two.
The sisters exchanged glances, and then Lux spoke again.
"You could say that... When Nyx turned into a demon, I spent a lot of ti trying to get along with Mama Holga and the rest of the girls, to prevent from having a fate similar to yours, I devoted myself to the church of light"
The succubus then looked intently at the angel, confused "So you beca a devotee?"
Lux nodded. "After two hundred years of intense prayers, hidden away tending a chapel, I beca a follower of the light. My sins were absolved and my horns disappeared, giving way to this little thing" she said, laughing.
With one of her fingers the girl touched the halo that began to sway above her head. It remained floating a few inches above her head, but sohow it was as if it was not attached.
Ryan stood up and held out both hands, one to Nyx and one to Lux. The girls held his hand, and with a watchful eye, he tried to observe the difference in the sensations he was having. Sighing, he channeled his mana and demonic energy and tried to transmit this to the two girls.
Ryan's demonic energy was repelled by Lux, it was as if her re touch disabled the transmission of that energy flow. While he was able to freely pass on that power to Nyx. However, the mana that was in his body could enter through the hands of the two girls, flowing through the fingers of their hands.
'It's... I can feel the sa connection' he said, looking at the two girls.
'Can you hear what I'm thinking?'
Lux nodded, and at the sa instant, Nyx stood up startled.
