Chereads / Reincarnated into a Otome Game!? [BL] / Chapter 23 - The 2 souls

Chapter 23 - The 2 souls

Recap

From afar we all witness a large figure using her weapon to hit the floor.

=================

Since the day my children had passed, I would come to this exact spot where my children love to play with each other.

My children loved this flower field so much that they often visit this area.

This location was where the most beautiful flowers bloom, they were called Asthesia. They were harmful to weak humans but is very bewitching to every living being which makes them dangerous.

Asthesia is exotic and poisonous, its unusual small petals had a silvery glint similar to a shiny rock that has been polished.

My children loved these flowers since young. When they are a few months old they would go missing and play with each other here.

Our kind has immunity to Asthesia's poison since we have been living next to them for many decades.

We have lived peacefully within these woods where humans rarely enter, even when one does approach, they come in fully armed big groups so we hardly see any friendly humans.

It wasn't impossible as there has been ample news being spread around the forest saying that there were a few particular humans who cared for the residents in the forest.

My people had always been cautious beings so we didn't believe the rumours going around. However, one day my people unexpectedly disappeared into the thin air one by one.

The target was very random so we didn't know who was next.

I could feel my kind's presence near the rumoured area so I decided to take a look at the location. I'm taking whatever it takes to protect them.

By the time I reach the location, there was my tribe's body littered everywhere. I was immediately enraged and I rampaged around that location. I could feel my face heat up from the uncontrolled resentment towards humans. I stomp towards the tree that was the entrance of the so-called "Good Humans".

I reach into the tiny opening and tried to grab the humans inside. I successfully grabbed one and it was a human magician! It was wriggling and screaming in fear. I suddenly feel chill down my back when he starts to shout in his language. At the time I didn't understand what he said, but now I regret not listening and decipher what the little magician human said. "Put me down you monster!"

"Your children are going to be next!" it continues to wriggle.

"If you kill me, your children will die as well!" he tried to reason with words.

After a few more shouting from him, I crush his whole body with my hand.

Blinded by rage I started a massacre at that location.

I was finally satisfied and went back home. The next I saw disturbed me for the rest of my life...

I was walking from the bushes and saw my children's head was on the stake they were holding. Those despicable humans! I ran into our home began to run towards the humans with the stake.

I determined to whack them all to death. The humans scream and asked for back up. "CYCLOPS IS HERE!" The reinforcement came, they were wearing heavy armour like soldiers.

I ran towards them and kick them away. "ROAR!" I yelled, letting out my the pain of losing my children. Adding on to my kind's death. The mixture of my anger and pain were being released at the moment.

Everything happens so fast. It wasn't clear what happened but by the time I regain my senses, everywhere was littered with the magician's carcass.

That day was the longest day I have been through, the day of the massacre and also the day I lost my family.

So every time of the year, I would plough this location where my children would rest in peace. They would also go on to heaven. This area is where they stood and perished. The exact date was when winter was ending. A century has passed, I didn't bother to count the years since the 110th year.

Unfortunately, this year I found human offspring coming into my children's grave and disturbing their slumber. They even brought livestock to eat up Asthesia that my children loved!

It has been a long time since I got so easily angered. I decided to chase them away from the area. Somehow I felt a sense of familiarity when I encountered the white head human.

So I scare them a little by hitting the ground. The crazy whitehead human didn't even move an inch. As if he was looking very sure that I would not hit him.

Eventually, the other human pulls the white head away.

The long black hair human quickly runs into the woods. He runs away in a blink of an eye. I decided my role was done.

I went back to my children's grave and picked their favourite flowers for them. For the rest, I put some offerings and prayed. For a century I could not finish digging all the graves for my kin, so I continue to dig them.

I stop my actions when I felt the same familiarity once again. It was terrifying, it was as if I was feeling the presence of my folks once again. I can be the cause of my mental illness but I also feel the 2 human children so I don't think it is an illusion.

I look towards their direction as they slowly appear fearlessly in front of me.

The white head spoke up, "Good evening Madame, your children wish to talk to you..."

For some reason, I start to tear up. I know what he said was suspicious but what he declared is impossible as they had passed. I stood still and thought over it many times.

" They will communicate with you telepathically."

I stood still in disbelief, as soon as he said that a familiar voice rang in my head. "Mummy! I can finally talk to you!" My tears rain down uncontrollably this time after hearing Ajun's voice.

"Ah! Mum you don't have to worry about all of us, this nice human connect us to you! Now then you can stop praying so hard, we all heard your wish and prayers every day and we are sick of it!" Both Ajun and Acai start to giggle.

"Everyone had left towards the light so you can stop worrying about us."
