I awoke to the soft lap of someone and it's comfortable enough to make me sleep even more. I moved around to make my sleeping position comfortable and at the last, I dug my face into the soft thighs of this person. The person then started caressing my hair gently like a mother would which made me remembered memories of going on picnic trips with my family and me and my little brother, and we would sleep on her lap after eating from noon to sunset.
"You sure are one heavy sleeper, hee hee!" the person giggled
It's very tempting to get up and see the person's face but I didn't want to let go of her thighs since this might be my last chance to do this! I mustered up the courage to not fall into my curiousness but I failed...I turned my face around and opened my eyes to a surprising sight! The person had long flowy silver hair and at the end of her hair tips were curly, she looked to be around her early 20s.
"Uhmm....this might be awkward, but who are you?"
"Oh my, it's time for introductions I guess.....you can call me big sister Agnes!"
"I-I'm Tarus....nice to meet you big sister Agnes!"
"Oh my, oh my, it seems you've taken a liking to your pillows right now."
"Y-YES I DID! THANK YOU FOR THE CHANCE!!"
"No need to be so stern, you can just ask me if you want to do it!"
I can't cover my face that well so she probably saw that I'm beet red right now, I got up from her lap quickly and now I looked at her, she's as tall as Zeksis. She's wearing a witch's hat and had the usual broom that a witch would have.
"B-big sister Agnes, are you a witch?"
"Nice guess! Yes, I 'am a witch, why do you ask?"
"Oh...just curious. Big sister Agnes, are you from here?"
"There's nothing out there but wilderness, I come from somewhere else and it's a place thriving with people. I only came down here to check on the current situation of Yggdrasil, I didn't expect people to live here. So little boy where are you from?"
"We live underground and there's a kingdom there, it's more like a bunker rather than a kingdom...BIG SISTER, DID YOU JUST SAY THAT PEOPLE ARE THRIVING FROM WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND 'CAME DOWN HERE'...BIG SISTER IS WHERE YOU ARE FROM ANOTHER WORLD?!"
"Correct! You really are good at guessing little boy! The place where I came from is atop Yggdrasil, there's a gate there leading to where I came from."
"Well it's good that people are thriving there, but what will happen to the people remaining here?"
"Don't worry little boy, Big sister will do something about it!"
"Oh, okay! By the way big sister Agnes, thanks for saving me!"
"Oh my, Oh my, your gonna make me blush!"
"Y-you don't have to be so surprised about it."
"Well, this is the first time someone has thanked me, so for me it's special. You really are the best little boy!"
Big sister Agnes sure is lively and fun to be with, she hugged me and my face dug into her bosom. She cooked some meat over the fire and it was like a camping experience. We chatted for some time and I felt like she could be trusted.
"Big sister, Uhm, I have a question to ask."
"What is it?"
"Do you know about the 8 deadly sins?"
"Oh my, of course, I do! Everyone in the higher empire from where I came from knows about the 8 deadly sins, they caused war 200 years ago and the war lasted for 50 years."
"What's the reason for the war to happen though?"
"You see, some people claim that when they had the chance to meet one of the sins they asked them about why they started the war, the response was that they were not starting any war but they're protecting us from something. Because of the war or protection from the 8 deadly sins, the world we currently are in right now was destroyed only leaving the wilderness and the only plant to grow here is the Yggdrasil or tree of life and the past inhabitants of this place ascended to the higher empire."
"I-I see, so I guess what happened 200-150 years ago is confusing and nobody is really sure about what happened, by the way, big sister, do you have a crown?"
"Oh, yes I do!"
she showed me her crown joyfully and they were different colors indicating they're different uses. She had the complete first set which unlocked more slots and big sister seems to be very powerful and I need to be allied with her.
"W-WOW! You have the complete set big sister! You really are a genius!"
"Oh my, stop praising me, you'll make me want to take you home! Hee hee." she giggled
"Big sister, Uhm, can I request something?"
"Yeah sure, what is it?"
"I kind of got lost and I can't seem to find where my teammates are, they promised to meet up with me in the west, the demons got me so I insisted that they should run away and head to safety because I had a plan but now I don't know what to do..."
"That's kind of sad, but don't worry! Big sister is here with you! What are you even doing here though? Isn't it dangerous for a young boy like you to be outside where demons are located."
"W-well my teammates and I are planning to go to the 4 labyrinths to complete our crown's but yeah that happened and we are separated now."
"For a boy your age you should not be risking your life here..."
"B-but I want to get stronger and be able to protect everyone so I can p-pre-prevent what happened to the village...."
I started sobbing and she hugged me once more which only made me cry even more because I missed my parents.....
"Shhh...Shhhh, you don't have to force yourself to relieve those memories...everyone has a desire to protect....just don't push yourself too hard.."
I dozed off again and a couple of hours passed and the sun was up. Big sister Agnes was caressing my hair and I woke up feeling refreshed.
"Good morning kiddo!"
"Good morning big sister...."
Still sleepy I asked her for some water and washed my face with it. She prepared breakfast and it was some coffee with bread, IT'S DELICIOUS!! Then we packed some of her stuff which she placed in her witch pouch, it can carry many items that vary in weight, it's like your own small dimension in where you can store stuff. We rode on her broom and we headed west.....
