I was next to Karina looking at her sleeping, scales covering her entire body while constantly releasing energy, I try to bring my hand closer, but I feel resistance due to the flow of energy around her body.
"She's been like this for a long ti." (I)
"This is what happens when you restrict evolution to strength without creating a growth barrier." (Yara)
"Why she did it?" (I)
"Because she wanted more than just being a Priestess, she was afraid of not being able to stand by her side just as a Dragon Priestess." (Yara)
"..." (I)
I look at Karina's state, her body covered in these crystal scales to the point where her face is not visible and her life energy getting lower and lower.
"What did she do?" (I)
"She already knew how to reach greater heights, the God Akatosh answered her prayers along with a warning." (Yara)
"..." (I)
Sigh
I have a lot on my mind and yet more and more things keep coming up to worry about.
I already have to worry about Nix and Layla who have been going through their evolutions for so long, I also have to worry about the Demon War and the Church of Light affecting indirectly since I have acquaintances participating, I also have to worry with the Gray Elf village that surrounds Klaus and now I have to worry about the state of Karina.
"You shouldn't..." (Yara)
"What are you going to say? Are you going to say it so you don't get worried? So I don't bla her for being reckless?" (I)
"I will always care about the people important to , I will also not bla her for doing sothing of her own free will even knowing the risks and being reckless, I would be a hypocrite otherwise..." (I)
I look once again at Karina's state, I can feel that the energy within her is in conflict, she had my energy from before the evolution and tried to absorb the new characteristics of my current evolution.
"I'm not sure why she did it, but at the mont I don't know if I can help her, it seems I have to solve my problems in pieces..." (I)
"(If she did that after the Dragon God's reply, then he is the one I should seek.)" (I)
I knew where I was supposed to go to get the answers I needed, so I went to the Communal Temple, and the High Priestess of Life was coming along with .
"Why didn't anyone tell about Karina before?" (I)
"You were a good-for-nothing who couldn't even take care of himself, telling you earlier would only have made sothing even more reckless happen." (Yara)
"That sounds like sothing I would do, not gonna lie." (I)
"But are you sure that her life isn't in danger?" (I)
"She's not going to die, but I can't say that she's fine right now, honestly, I'm not sure what she's going through..." (Yara)
"What did you say... where am I..." (I)
Before I could reach the Communal Temple I felt sothing strange and the voice of the High Priestess of Life disappeared, that's when I realized that I was no longer in the city, I was facing the mansion.
"Lorraine, I know you're there." (I)
"Then you already know what I want or rather what you need to do." (Lorraine)
"Yes, I know..." (I)
The only person I know of who can enter and exit the Dungeon as he pleases without restrictions could be none other than Fairy Empress Lorraine.
I also know why she called here, I can feel Layla's call to our connection, now she is much stronger than before, and that's why Lorraine called .
"Do you know anything about Nix?" (I)
"You must know the answer better than I do, aren't you feeling the sa way?" (Lorraine)
"..." (I)
I already knew the answer, just wanted to confirm since I don't know what to expect.
"You're pretty calm." (Lorraine)
"It's no use being anxious or nervous, now the most important thing is to help Layla, so tell what to do." (I)
"You should already know what Layla is doing." (Lorraine)
"The evolution of one of them is always linked with their Cradles, this goes for both Layla and Nix, so this ti it should be the sa." (I)
"You're not wrong, if you have to be specific, Layla is connecting her Faerie Gate directly with Faerie." (Lorraine)
"A Fairy Temple!? But I thought..." (I)
"She is already at the sa level as you, the minimum requirent for a Fairy Temple." (Lorraine)
"But I thought only Fairy Kings could manage to create a Fairy Temple." (I)
"Exactly, that's why she is becoming a Fairy Queen, as I said before, she has t the minimum requirents." (Lorraine)
"I thought Fairy Kings were Demigods from what I heard earlier." (I)
"Most of them yes, but it wasn't always like that, they didn't beco Demigods because they were Fairy Kings, just the opposite." (Lorraine)
"They attained Godhood by becoming Demigods by becoming Fairy Kings." (Lorraine)
"She, too, might reach those sa heights one day." (Lorraine)
"..." (I)
I walk while I talk to Lorraine, and with that, I start to have a clearer view of the whole situation, when I arrived in the back garden I saw thousands of Fairies flying around sothing, their Auras seed to try to mask what was behind, as they are so many working together, I can't take my Aura very far.
Just by looking, I can tell that sothing is different, the space itself is rippled, it wasn't like that earlier, but now it's as if a storm has started on a calm sea, the space is rippled violently to the point where tiny cracks form by the dozens before they close completely.
"Are you sure there's no risk?" (I)
"The only risk there is if I can't get to her." (Lorraine)
"Aren't the fairies supposed to do this themselves? At least that's what I've learned." (I)
As I spoke to her, I continued analyzing the situation in front of , before taking the first step I have to be careful not to get caught in those cracks or the most violent waves in space.
"That would be true if she had done it right, a Faerie Cradle must be created by the Faerie herself, but Layla created this Faerie Cradle with the combined power of the two of you." (Lorraine)
Lorraine touches the air and sparks of energy gather before forming traces of energy just like Aura's.
"Your power and Aura is all over the Cradle, even your Authority and Holy Power affected the Cradle, I sincerely think that if it wasn't inside this Dungeon that already belongs to you, the world would have crushed both of you." (Lorraine)
"(I can't say that this Fairy Cradle was actually a big accident, nobody planned it...)" (I)
"You must get to her and circulate your powers between the two before doing the sa to the Cradle of Faerie, this will only take a few minutes." (Lorraine)
"That is if you can get past the turbulent space and the Fairies who are acting purely on instinct to protect Layla." (Lorraine)
"If that's all, then it will be easy." (I)
I couldn't help but smile, so without saying anything else I started walking forward, I was hesitant as I didn't know what to do, but it looks like everything is going to be easier than I expected.
"It's ti to wake up you little Demon..." (I)
"< Territory >" (I)
I walk to where the space is becoming and I can feel like there's sothing trying to crush my body continuously, but I use my Authority to create a Territory around following the line of my body while glued to my skin.
Doing sothing like this was one of the things hamred into my body by my sisters, it protected from space warping, maintaining this was difficult as normally a Territory is fixed in place where it was created, what I'm doing is basically loading a part of the space around with .
"(I feel like I'm dragging sothing incredibly heavy.)" (I)
But even with this protection I kept dodging the cracks in space seeing that they could breach my Territory, I also noticed that the Fairies seed to be able to follow the flow of space ripples, which protected them from the cracks and being crushed by space in disarray like this.
As soon as I got to the Fairies I noticed that many had their eyes in a daze with tears in their eyes and it only took a few seconds to realize why, the Cradle of the Fairies was transmitting the pain that Layla was feeling, but sohow that pain and screams seem sothing I've seen before.
I walk towards the Fairies who just started attacking before they even look at , but when I raise my Aura all the Fairies look at as they make room for to pass until I reach where Layla was.
When I saw her I noticed that her body was in pieces, literally small pieces as if it had gone through a shredder, these pieces were circling around her like two rings, and what was in the middle was a silhouette of many colors and without features, but even without eyes, I realized that I was in a trance and closed to the outside world.
"Your sleep ti is up you little Demon thing, I'll make you wake up." (I)
