I don't see the sun up just yet so it seems I'm up a bit earlier than usual. That weird feeling is gone— Sothing that I have no way to explain, not at this mont.
But the thing that weighs on my mind now... another death was added to my count. Killing two beings of this world and dying once myself in the process.
It all seems to pile onto my consciousness more, maybe it's because I still haven't gotten used to the idea of killing anyone. Both tis I've had no choice but to do so, since I'd be the one dead in the process.
The door opens slightly, her crimson red hair flowing past her shoulders, it was clear that Alia was the one entering the room. "I saw everything with the fight out there, I didn't know you could do that." Alia speaks with a bit of a surprised expression across her face.
Honestly I don't think anyone expected to have that kind of power within when I first approached the deck. Shimada had suspicions of what I could do but then I confird it for him.
Standing up, Artemis has a calm look on his face. "I didn't think I could do any of that either. I'm still learning all about it myself." Artemis responds with a genuine tone in his voice.
Alia stands there silently for a few monts— Rembering that she was told by soone to help with progressing this power of his. She knew this has to be what the person was talking about since they ntioned sothing with shadows.
She moves further into the room before taking a seat in one of the chairs. "I want to help you— well I want to help with making you stronger." Alia says with a bit of kindness in her voice.
I can't say I'm surprised that she's offering to help with understanding this power or to help grow with it. Getting stronger will take so ti since I need to speak more with this girl.
The girl from the abyss will be the key in becoming stronger, at least that's what I've co to understand. I don't exactly know how Alia will be able to help just yet, but I do know I'll take all the help I can get.
"I'd appreciate that." Artemis replies.
I could tell that she knew sothing that I didn't about this power but asking her directly feels like it would be wrong. I'll have to give it so ti before I can ask anything big.
Alia let's out a sigh before looking directly into his eyes. "Sothing gave a sign that I need to help you with developing this power more, I don't think it's a bad thing but I didn't want to hide this. I trust you Artemis." Alia says with a hopeful look in her eyes.
So sothing is talking to her just like the goddess that talks to , how interesting this has beco. But if she really did trust , this pact wouldn't still be in effect.
Not that it bothers entirely— it just keeps on a leash so that I can't just disappear without Alia. Protecting her isn't a problem for or anything, it's just the freedom that I'm missing.
The goddess seed to express that I wouldn't have such a thing though, especially with the power to return from death. A slave to the world she said to , what a strong thing to be told.
As if I wasn't a slave from the mont I was born here. The Rose family treated us very well so I can't say it was the worst experience for .
"Thank you. Have you heard anything about if we are close or not?" Artemis questions with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
I haven't thought much about the destination we were heading to yet since everything is new to . Learning as I go is probably the most familiar thing, since I had to learn as I worked in my old life.
The tech industry wasn't necessarily easy to work with, especially as a programr.
She crosses her arms and ponders for a mont. "Not yet, that Shimada really is quite a character though. I don't know how to feel about him." Alia answers.
"Hopefully we make it there soon, I'm tired of the ocean already." Artemis speaks with a bit of a exhaustion in his voice.
I wasn't much of a sea person to begin with so I kind of expected to feel this way after a bit of traveling. I'm sure it only gets worse as ti goes on— at least I get to see what it's like in this world though.
"It'll be here before we know it, just distract yourself or maybe read sothing." Alia suggests before pulling out a book.
I did notice that there was a lot of books in this room so it could be a pretty good idea to read for awhile. My knowledge can only grow from the resources at my disposal.
Over the course of the next two weeks Artemis distract himself with the books within his room while Alia occasionally joins him. Cynthia trains so that her swordsmanship doesn't lose its edge, and Shimada continues to bother them here and there.
Nothing else seems to disrupt the traveling for them as they finally begin to see land in the distance. A beautiful kingdom that borders the ocean is before them.
The continent of Heartfeld's most known kingdom is at the docks, it's also probably the biggest kingdom here. The Kingdom of Avania— A kingdom known for its hospitality, trade, and even it's efforts in the previous war across the continents.
It was a truly magnificent kingdom to see in person, even if they are a bit strict with the rules upon entering.
"Land ho!!!!" The lookout shouts from the top deck.
Finally, I was hoping we were almost there.
