When I regained consciousness I still couldn't open my eyes or even hear anything, I wasn't able to use my Aura either, every part of my body was hurting and my mind was heavy.
The only thing I felt besides the sensations of the precarious state I'm in, was feeling like my body was floating in a warm pool, it was very nice and relaxing.
Another thing I felt was the sll of blood and from ti to ti soone was throwing blood in my mouth, the taste was a mixture of the blood of Vanessa, Natasha, Alice, and Karina.
Their blood has always been the most nourishing to , my two Saints probably because of their position, Vanessa for being a Saint of the Blood Goddess who is my mother, and Natasha for carrying the Authority of healing.
Maybe it was because of this blood that I slled this all the ti, I felt that this blood was charged with Holy Power and life healing my body from the inside, anwhile, the pool it was in was carrying all kinds of energy that my body absorbed to replace what I lost.
I was being fully nourished, but I was still too weak, I didn't know how much ti was passing and none of that made any difference to my mind that wasn't getting better.
I couldn't tell the state of my Soul and I decided to put it aside temporarily since it wasn't sothing I could take care of now, as my body was receiving so kind of treatnt, I decided to take care of my mind by myself and for that, I decided to ditate.
I tried ignoring all sensations and emptying my mind, which proved easy as I wasn't able to use half of my senses at the mont and soon fell into a ditative state.
I don't know how much ti has passed, but my mind is becoming lighter and lighter, so I was able to think more clearly, which allowed to take short breaks in ditation to check the state of my body.
After an unknown amount of ti, my mind and body were in a slightly acceptable state, that ans I could at least stand up and walk or even open my eyes, my senses were also coming back, but beyond a few footsteps I hear sotis, I wasn't able to hear anything else.
My energy reserves are also completely full and my Aura was in acceptable condition, in fact, it was in the best condition.
Sigh
When I took a deep breath, I tried to lift my head and open my eyes little by little, it took a while to get used to the brightness of the place, but soon I could see that I was floating in a pool of blood in front of a statue of mine.
It only took half a second to realize the situation looking around confirming that I'm in the Hall of Statues of the Temple Communal and that blood I'm floating in belongs to .
The only thing I don't understand is why they left here, there were so people kneeling on the edge of the pool of Blood, they were 2 Lamias, 6 Lizardman, and 1 Elf.
Everyone was kneeling and with their eyes closed with so with their foreheads against the ground, maybe it was because I was my blood or because I was still here, but I felt a slight trace of energy flow from them into the blood of the pool before I ca to being absorbed into my body, that trace of energy even carried a bit of Holy Power.
I calmly stand up, I don't rember how deep this pool is, so I try to use basic non-elental magic to float without lingering over these people who were clearly praying to .
Soon I felt the space around double and I realized that the surroundings changed, this ti I was in a room on another floor of the Communal Temple, inside the room there was a Layla looking at upset while eating a slice of pizza while in her Human size, there was also Vanessa and Karina who were talking to Lilian with their children.
Lilian and her family got on their knees as soon as I appeared, I greeted them before leaving to do so errand at Vanessa's request, then Layla returned to her small Fairy form and left saying that she would warn the others.
I was left half-sitting in the living room with Vanessa wiping the blood from my body and Karina giving her wrist to feed on.
"How long..." (I)
"2 days, but shorter than we expected." (Karina)
"I received an oracle from the Goddess Selene telling you what to do, we brought you to the pool of blood where her statue is enshrined in the Communal Temple and we fed you a mixture of blood." (Vanessa)
"What happened to him?" (I)
"..." (Vanessa)
"..." (Karina)
The two exchange glances with my question, I don't understand the reason, I know he's fine because during the breaks in my ditation, I check the connections I have with my Family and others, that includes him.
"I don't know, there is a barrier around him, one of his sisters said that he built the barrier himself and since then bizarre energy fluctuations have been happening in the place." (Karina)
"Did he put up the barrier to protect himself or to protect others?" (I)
"That was the sa question his sister asked." (Vanessa)
"For the ti being we thought that was the case, his Aura was wild and large amounts of energy were colliding on the first day to the point where Ragnar was injured trying to pull you away." (Karina)
"Before you ask, Ragnar is fine now." (Karina)
"If he's trying to control his power, then how did he create the barrier?" (I)
"We don't know, but if our theory is correct, his progress is phenonal, no energy is being emitted from within the barrier since earlier today and his Aura seems under control." (Vanessa)
"Unfortunately those are the only things we can assu about his situation." (Karina)
"..." (I)
I still don't have the strength to use my connections, but I can still feel if those connected to are fine, the connection I have with him is strange being made purely of Holy Power and Authority, but I can still say that he looks fine.
I don't feel any turbulent emotions or out-of-control power, but I can feel a consciousness on the other side that senses my probing, unfortunately, I can't reach you through that connection.
"Take to him." (I)
"With all due respect, you're in no condition..." (Karina)
"I can stand and walk, plus I'm not that bad." (I)
I wasn't lying, I've been in much worse situations and with injuries that couldn't be seen just by looking at .
The two looked at each other once more, but the truth is that their opinion doesn't matter this ti, I decided to go there and I hardly change my mind when I make a decision.
------------
I found that I woke up after the biggest day, in the early afternoon, to be taken on Orion's back with Ragnar seconds at my side with Sakura on my back as my other Familiars followed flying around , Nix the only one within my shadow.
Apart from my Family mbers, only my 2 Saints and 3 Heroes ca with due to insistence, my sisters weren't around, but I suspect I'll find them where I'm going.
As soon as I got to the floor where I perford the Hades Ceremony, I could see the barrier, it was the exact size of the area I created for the ceremony.
"The barrier was smaller than that, it's been expanding to this size just last night." (Orion)
"..." (I)
My Aura was fine, but it still couldn't extend there, so I waited to get close enough to feel this barrier with my Aura, it had a similar feeling to the area I created by accident that ti, but it was still different as if it was so kind of copy.
The barrier was filled with Holy Power and Authority that were almost identical to mine, but it wasn't achieving the last step of bleeding into the surroundings and becoming a part of the environnt in harmony.
The barrier was black in color with red and white energy flows running through all corners, the shape of the barrier is also different from the area I created that ti, the area was circular with in the center, but this barrier was triangular.
"You woke up fast." (Elizabeth)
I turn my head in one direction and see my 3 sisters flying towards , just like I thought, they've been keeping an eye on him this whole ti.
"Were they watching?" (I)
"Unfortunately yes, that shouldn't even be possible at your current level of strength and you even used a Dragon Seal so out of the ordinary that even I wasn't sure what could co out of it." (Elizabeth)
"I'm curious, the Aura I felt before was pretty cool." (Caitlyn)
"If you take away the murderous desire, hunger, and boundless ferocity, then I guess it could be considered cool." (Natasha)
"I think I felt traces of the energy of hell" (Elizabeth)
"..." (I)
The 3 don't fool , I can see the spark of curiosity in each of their eyes, they just want a peek at him and that's why they've waited until now.
