"Move faster, guys!" Aeloria shouted as she moved faster, calling us. "Hopefully, we aren’t going in the wrong direction."
Ah...
She jinxed it, didn’t she?
Whatever...
"Eden," Grace called to as I looked at her.
"Hmm?" I humd in response.
"I need your help." Biting her lip lightly, she said, a conflicting look etched on her face.
"Help with what?" I asked, noticing her hesitation to ask sothing.
"Not now," she replied, shaking her head, "after we get out of here."
"Now you’ve made curious," I mumbled, looking at her. "What do you need my help with?"
"It’s about my bloodline," she replied after so hesitation.
"The black flas?" I asked, and she nodded in reply.
"You want to control them?" I understood why she was asking about this; after all, they are not normal flas.
"Hmm," she humd in agreent. "It’s hard to control them."
"Every ti I try to use it, it creates ntal pressure on my head. Often tis, I feel like I will lose control of myself if I use it too much," she explained, and I thoughtfully nodded.
Her flas are linked with the goddess of flas, but the problem is those black flas of hers are mutations of a normal bloodline, and that’s why it’s hard for her to control them.
The event dedicated to her was the ti when she totally lost control of her flas, killing hundreds of people, and well, she tried to kill Angelina as well, only to be stopped by Aron.
"..."
An uncomfortable feeling spread all over my body as I rembered her death from the ga.
It was brutal... with her body mangled and broken.
"Eden?" I looked at Grace as she shook slightly when I was lost in my thoughts.
"Yeah... Of course I can help you," I replied with a smile. "I am pretty good when it cos to flas."
Those things are not going to happen.
She won’t lose control of herself, neither will she die.
I will make sure of it.
"Co to think of it, you never told what those flas are?" As if she rembered it, she asked curiously.
"The white flas?"
"Yes, those flas even for only a few seconds were able to push back my flas. How?" She asked, her curiosity increasing with her every word.
"That’s a secret," I replied with a smirk, imdiately pouring cold water on her curiosity.
"Don’t tell if you don’t want to," she grumbled, stepping on my feet.
"Hey!" I did the sa, lightly stepping on hers.
Without saying anything, she returned the favor by stepping on my feet again.
"Now you’ve done it," I said, attempting to step on her feet as well, but she pushed her legs back, avoiding it.
I pushed my leg forward, and before she could push her feet further, I stepped on it.
"Why are you acting like a child?" she said glaring at , stepping on my feet again.
"I can ask the sa question," I replied, stepping on her feet one last ti, and before she could react, I made so distance between us.
"Heh! I won," I smirked at her glaring look, which imdiately made her close the distance between us.
Then, grabbing with her soft hands by my shoulders, she made halt my movent as her sweet sll assaulted .
I felt her breath on my chest as she was smaller than , while she looked down, her head resting on my chest.
Then, she stepped on my feet and looked up at .
"Heh! I won," she replied with a beautiful smile.
Then, leaving stunned there, she started to walk again.
It took a mont to register what happened, and my lips raised slightly at her behavior, but...
"No, you don’t," arriving beside her and stepping on her feet before running towards Aeloria.
"Why are you running?" As soon as I arrived beside her, she grumbled, giving an annoyed look which made feel good for so reason.
"Because I want to," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
"Anyway, what’s your real na?" I asked, as I rembered it.
Though the chances are low, I don’t want to have those types of situations where I know the person in my previous life, but I didn’t ask about it.
"Aeloria is my real na," she replied without hesitation.
"So, you have fully accepted that you are Aeloria, huh?" I asked, noticing her behavior.
Unlike other reincarnated persons, she has accepted what she is.
Unlike , who hasn’t fully accepted it.
And I don’t want to accept it.
If I do, it will be hard to suppress my feelings of Eden for people I don’t want to feel anything about.
"Still, tell your real na; it’s important," I said seriously, earning a frown from her.
"Fine, tell yours and I will tell mine," she replied, folding her arms, waiting for my answer.
"..."
I remained silent.
I can’t tell her my real na.
Neil is quite famous in this world as soone from the Phoenix Clan, and I don’t want to expose my identity as him.
"See, you don’t trust enough, and neither do I," she said after I remained silent for a while.
"Fine, at least tell if your world ended or not," I asked, hoping to get so clue about her world.
"Ahhh!"
Her eyes widened in surprise, but before she could reply, I heard Grace’s startled voice as she walked beside us.
"What happened?" I asked, looking back at her.
"Opening," she muttered, pointing in front of us.
I looked where she was pointing and imdiately noticed that the cave was ending, and a new place was opening.
"Get behind ," I ordered as I stood in front of both of them.
As we all cautiously moved towards the end of the cave, with each step, the air grew heavier, and I looked at the body of the creature.
"It’s not getting smaller," Aeloria mumbled anxiously, looking at the body of the serpent-like creature.
True...
That ans we are moving towards the head.
She truly jinxed it, didn’t she?
The air grew colder, sending shivers down my spine as we approached the end of the cave.
As we moved forward, we arrived at a vast expanse where the ceiling towered high above.
And there, at the center of the chamber, rested the head of a creature unlike any I had ever seen.
Explore new worlds at .Côm
With scales like jade and eyes that glead with looking at us, the creature resembled a Chinese dragon, bounded by chains around it.
But not totally like it, it was different in a lot of ways.
"You have arrived."
Again, I heard its feminine-like voice in my head, and I imdiately beca alert.
_Tud tud_
My heartbeat dropped when I heard the sound of soone falling, and I imdiately looked behind , only to find both Aeloria and Grace lying on the ground.
"What did you do!" I shouted in anger, my voice echoing in the vast expanse as I moved beside them to check their condition.
"They are fine, child. You don’t want them to hear our conversation, do you?"
She replied calmly as I checked them, and they seed to be fine, unaffected by whatever had caused them to fall.
I sighed slightly before fixing my focus on the snake.
"You can ask anything if you want to," it said, focusing its yellowish eyes on .
"What are you?" I asked as I sat beside Grace and Aeloria.
"I am known by a lot of nas, but the most famous of them is ’the serpent of the world.’ Jörmungandr"
So it truly is a snake...
"Thor’s eternal enemy?" Suppressing my desire to kill this snake, I asked.
"It irked when you rember only as his enemy," it replied with displeasure.
Ignoring its tone, I waited for it to continue.
"Yes, and if I am sensing it correctly, you also have the blood of his flowing through your body."
"My mother’s family are his descendants," I replied, nodding my head.
"Hmmm, you truly are his descendant, huh?" It mumbled before its eyes moved towards Aeloria.
"That girl has divinity on her," it revealed, making look at Aeloria.
"What do you an?" I asked, frowning.
"That girl has the blessing of a goddess, and a powerful goddess at that."
"Goddess of Life," I mumbled, recalling Ivy’s words.
She once told that she was sent to Aeloria specifically by the Goddess of Life.
"Anyway, child, don’t you have sothing important to ask ?" Shifting my gaze back at the serpent-like creature, it asked again.
I took a deep breath, preparing myself for what was to co next.
This single question could change my view of life from here on.
But I had to ask it.
I couldn’t ask it directly, but I had to ask.
Suppressing my anxiety, I parted my lips.
"How am I connected with the Human God?"
