Chapter 16 - Bonds

That following day...

The new day had quite recently settled in and Amelia, Carter, and Noah had concluded that they should remain in the scary house for that night, temperatures were as low as they'd at any point been in London and the group would prefer not come down with a sickness because of a cold, on the off chance that they wanted to experience what they talked about the prior night.

Looking its head into the great beyond, the sun gradually, however consistently rose as it's sparkles of sunshine canvassed the nation in strong light, the morning had started. Not many hours after the waking of the three new comrades, they acclimatized themselves in the house's living room, inspecting over their arrangement that they had talked about yesternight. They had framed a circle and the young men looked as Amelia pulled a couple of dark-shaded beads from her pocket.

"Noah, Carter, these are Maka beads I took from a guard in the underworld's cell. When Olivia and I were training under Apollo, he showed us these and how they-", Amelia was hindered by Noah who chose to ring in ultimately.

"Transport you to where you want most in Fortitudo on the off chance that you have a sufficiently high Stamina Variable, by which I recall it."

Amelia raised an eyebrow as though she was puzzled by what he stated, yet in a nonchalant way, she illuminated Noah of his ignorance. "Noah, Apollo said that Maka Beads transport you anyplace inside the limits of our dimensional space. He likewise said that Stamina Variable is a slang term for Energia, which is the thing that everybody in creation has ever called it. This sort of stuff is in The Book of Gods, how would you not remember this?" and as Amelia said that she let off a giggle in a coy, yet flirtatious, voice.

Noah got flustered and went red in the face, "I must've overlooked for being dead for such a long time. Wait, did I overlook how Energia works as well?!"

Noah was sure he'd overlooked a few things for being in a dead state for such a long time, alongside having his soul in Hades' ownership, he had disremembered plenty of things. In the time of his death, Amelia had studied the Book of Gods in its entirety, cover to cover and each amount of area in the middle. She had even known about the extraordinary history between the Gods and data that had been mistakenly relayed to her before her reading said book.

"Well Noah, Energia is regularly phantom-like energy that lives in each living thing, even things that are created at the present time have Energia moved into them from the universe like air, it's a wellspring of life. At any point when a hybrid uses their abilities it uses either a significant or insignificant amount of Energia, it functions like fuel. The Energia itself converts into the ability, similar to Olivia's fire, her body is changing over Energia into fire since Energia cannot be created nor destroyed, it must only be changed."

After Amelia's long clarification of Energia, she proceeded to what she had uncovered the Maka Beads for. "We'll utilize the Maka Beads to go to Fortitudo and I can request help from the council or Apollo to assist me with preparing again to open my own hybrid power rather than Divine Power" both of them couldn't turn down Amelia and had no real option except to joyfully concur thus, they did. The three got into a closer group arrangement before a behemoth of smoke gulped them as Amelia pummeled the beam into the cool, tidied oak underneath their feet.

Nothingness...

Nothing, not even darkness itself. It was happening once again, Amelia ended up floating endlessly through the void that not space dare cross. Just Obscurity filled Amelia's eyes as she floated through the endlessness of this obscure scene and air wouldn't fill her lungs as she breathed in, yet she didn't fear the casualty of suffocation thus, she couldn't die to such a persistence.

Not even minutes after, Amelia and the others had ended up awakening from lying on the ground of Fortitudo. Consistently, they all started to stand firm and glance around, affirming their areas, yet Carter was flabbergasted, seeing as it was his first time entering these divine terrains. "Is this Fortitudo?"

His wonder was stopped before the trio wound up encompassed by gods from each heading, their very presence filled Amelia's senses with threatening vibes. They asked Amelia and the others to express their motivation in which, right then and there, Amelia revealed to them she was a pupil of Apollo and had come to talk with him. Shuffling through the group was Apollo, toward Amelia's gathering, to answer Amelia's desires. Apollo had told the gods that she was of no evil intent thus they had gone from where they had come.

Amelia and Noah gave Apollo an embrace as a showing of their friendship just as a type of welcome, they were loaded up with delight to had seen him in such some time. While indicating a little smile, Apollo discharged himself from the embraces of the children, inquiring as to why they had returned and in the event that it was of desperation. Amelia discloses her present circumstance to Apollo, as he rubs his jaw. She settles her clarification by asking Apollo for additionally training to open, at any rate, half of Xenatra's power.

"I've just asked Xenatra to do it," however Xenatra had said that she couldn't break the limit that laid among Amelia and that measure of power on her own, she was seriously debilitated after the experience with Logica and could only give Amelia so much.

"Well youthful Amelia, playing out a soul-holding contract with a divine figure may take care of your issues, you may need to make a soul-bonding contract with a god so as to persuasively take advantage of that power."

Amelia gestured her head in understanding, prepared to do whatever it took, regardless of the reason or hazard. A commonplace face had ventured from behind Apollo, somebody that Amelia perceived instantly, it was Death. The amicable lady welcomed Amelia and gave a delicate wave, holding out her hand before talking.

"Amelia, I haven't seen you since your last visit, did you leave something?"

Going in one ear and leaving the other, Death's words weren't arriving at Amelia's on edge mentality. Subsequent to seeing the picture with her mother, who she was sure was death, Amelia didn't feel great around death with this sort of information, this kind of an inquiry unanswered. Because of Death's inquiry, Amelia didn't hold out her hand, nor did she welcome Death with a 'Welcome', however rather asked what her mind was irritating her about.

"Death...Are you my mother?", Amelia was starting to break down, losing control of her emotional maturity, because the main memory of her mother was dubious ones in which very little had really been recalled.

Death saw Amelia in stun, as though she was amazed by what the child had asked her thus she sighed, setting her hand on Amelia's head, cautiously stroking the young lady's rich hair. "Amelia there are things that I accomplished for a reason in those days and things happen that change what we as a whole do with our lives. Regardless of whether those things be to battle in a war, or choose to settle down and start a family, we as a whole should figure out how to fulfill or emotional needs. I required an approach to atone for what I did to you, thus I did or else I couldn't forgive myself. Accordingly, I had the council modify your memories, with the goal that you could carry on with a typical life, something I couldn't give you."

Amelia comprehended what her mother was attempting to advise her, however, she lost interest and chose to concentrate back on the job needing to be done. Maybe this was her method for sulking, not getting the most satiable answer from her mother. "Well mother, I need to make a soul-bonding contract with you, to save my world."

Death could tell that her child was disappointed with her answer, choosing that a soul holding agreement could be the least she could do to satisfy her child, thus she consented to Amelia's solicitations.

Strolling over to Apollo, Noah had inquired as to whether he could reestablish his agreement with the god since apparently, soul-bonding contracts end once the contractee has had their soul claimed by another divine being or non-divine for Noah's situation.

Everything was set in stone and the time to begin the ritual was among them
