Later that day, Namhr and Mythro returned to Fashr's house to farm, both are sitting cross-legged in Namhr's room. But inside Mythro, things that he didn't know before started to appear.
"The energy of this place ... It looks so bad, what happened? And why do I feel that if I had more energy I would understand more about my body? It's like a call… a call to take another step… And that step has direction, I feel like there's something out there, waiting for me. "
- Namhr, why is the energy here so slow to be absorbed, and cold. But is there still a place out there that doesn't seem to suffer from these conditions?
- It is due to the crack, as you may know here is something called "abyss" and we are the people who live in the greatest influence of the abyss. Our land is one eighth of our continent, according to what I heard about in the imperial city, but nobody is interested in it because its energy is completely yin.
- Yin?
- Yes, everything must have a Yin-Yang balance, good and bad, negative and positive. And Yin-Yang can also be seen as a woman and a man, moon and sun.
- But doesn't that mean you're a negative energy?
- Yes and no, women have more Yin energy inside them, so the domain of Yin arts are more conducive to women, less collateral damage to the body and a faster advance, it is as if your body was made for this, you know ?
- Do you mean that if I train a Yin technique I will always be left behind by women?
- Yes and no, although the body is more appropriate, the person's effort and talent for a thing also define how far it goes.
- I understood.
Mythro then closes his eyes and goes back to farming quietly.
- Why, no more questions?
- You always complain.
- Today I'm in a good mood, so talk.
- When can I leave the village?
- When you are of age!
- It will take too long!
- And it will take longer if you keep complaining!
- Namhr!
- Okay, when you reach the first level of the first stage, I'll let you out!
- Done! So wait just a little bit.
- Like this?
Then a few minutes later, a thin layer of blue covers Mythro ...
- This…
Namhr is very surprised and amazed, does anyone reach the first stage at age 7? Was this really possible in the abyss?
For a moment everything is quiet, even the sound of the door opening comes from the other side.
Namhr looks at the gray source of light and sees someone entering with a woman in his arms. It's Fashr carrying Krima.
- Father, Mythro will enter the first kingdom!
- Namhr ...
Fashr falls to his knees and then starts to cry.
Namhr gets up quickly to see what happens, she soon approaches her father and sees blood on her clothes. And inspecting Krima's body, she sees fist marks, hands, various cuts and perforations.
- They killed my Krima ...
- No!!! Mother!!!
Namhr throws himself at Krima's cold body, her skin was breaking due to the hard cold, her lips have lost pinkish red, her eyes…. are no more.
- Even your eyes ... gouged out your eyes ...
Fashr cries and trembles at the same time, some men behind him who also cry.
- Call everyone from the village, let's honor Lady Krima!
- Yes, Josom, well remembered, our Lady died, but she must be honored!
Then several of the men behind Josom, run and go from door to door saying what happened, a few minutes pass until everyone is gathered in the central courtyard, in front of Fashr's house, tears and rain accompany everyone.
The harsh cold of the environment makes everything even more distressing ...
- Mythro!
Namhr yells for Mythro, who at that time was focused on getting on the path of cultivation ...
She calls him, but the concentration to enter the first kingdom takes all of her senses, he remains immobile with his eyes closed.
Inside Mythro's mind, something begins to form, he sees a river sliding and invigorating his body. And from this river a dense fog also begins to form, several stars are born and dance, a tree takes shape, and there is a strong feeling of deep mysteries in it, Mythro begins to understand its mysteries and to travel in the strong sensation, at this moment, he don't feel cold anymore ...
**
Deep down in the cosmos, two people, a man and a woman, face the whole situation that Mythro goes through.
- He woke up and will go straight to the second kingdom, like all of our blood.
- Yea
These are Lucem and Xaemi.
However…
- Mythro!
Namhr calls out Mythro's name again, and invisible waves come out of his mouth and hit Mythro, who wakes up instantly. And then a strong negative wave starts to take shape! Dark energy invades his eyes, and obscures his gold.
In space Xaemi takes a step and travels hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
- Xaemi! - Lucem screams and also takes a step, he stops right in front of her.
- What was that? How did a normal human stop the rise of a NOVA?
- I don't know either, but we shouldn't interfere!
- How can I not? You already interfered!
- There is nothing to be done, if he had gone straight to the second kingdom, he could
we can go and get him, but now the negative energy from the rift has already attacked him, the fairies can recognize his existence if we interfere, what I can do is seal his Arfozian power, and let it grow…
- Let it grow? In that place? They hardly know what cultivation is! The cultivation system of that place is outdated, 1 in 1 billion leaves that planet, every 10,000 years!
- So, Xaemi, if he is valiant, he will be the next to leave!
Xaemi emanates its strong aura, crushing everything around it, small planets and stars turn to dust.
- At least tell me how, how the seal of the 12 constellations were thrown to dust by the call of a mortal human?
- She is not human ...
- So what is she? Well, my son will not be thrown on the trash planet!
Lucem looks at her quietly, then closes his eyes. Xaemi looks at him, but she slowly calms down.
Only minutes later her aura recedes and then she disappears.
- A small pity ... You will have to solve the plots of fate yourself. This planet ... why did it have to be it ... Did the fairies discover something? Whatever it is ... Now you and everything that was thrown there will be united.
Lucem points his finger and then a seal appears in Mythro's heart, imperceptible to everyone and himself.
In the small house of opposite L's, Namhr faces Mythro crying a lot.
Mythro had managed to enter the first kingdom, and he is in the first stage and the first level, there is a very transparent and weak river above him. It's his spectral image.
- Namhr, I entered the first kingdom! It was strange ... But I think it was okay! Why are you crying?
- Mythro, Krima!
He then gets up and sees Krima lying there, completely bloodied. And a face of despair and anguish in Fashr.
- Krima ...
- Honor our lady! With blood!
In the abyss, every person must return to earth in ashes, but first, he must be baptized with the blood of his people. Everything comes from the earth, so in the end, everything it provided must return to it.
Fashr gets up and takes Krima to the middle of the courtyard, there is a small altar where the majority of young people are taught, their respective work for the village.
Josom quickly searches the house of Mister Fashr, the ceremonial dagger that serves so that everyone can cut the palm of his hands and touch his blood on the body of the deceased member of his community. He sees Mythro hugging Namhr who cries endlessly, he approaches aggressively, and then pulls his hair out.
- Why, why did you have to come here? - Josom's face is twisted, there is anger, coldness and madness in his eyes.
- What are you talking about, Josom? Let me go!
- This is your fault!
- I didn't kill her!
- It killed ... When you stepped on this village you killed it! You don't belong here!
Josom then releases him and leaves the house. He raises the dagger and shows one of his severed hands, he goes to the altar and touches Krima's forehead.
Soon everyone takes the dagger and repeats the same thing. However, only those considered adults by the passage of the ceremony can honor in blood.
After everyone baptized Krima, her body is wrapped in blue and orange cloths, the colors of the emperor of the continent "Caelum Dominum", fire is put on the cloths, and on her lifeless body.
Moments later, some men bring a wooden casket of the highest quality, which has strong red tones, so Fashr takes Krima's body, which is surrounded by flames and takes it to the coffin.
- Dad! - Namhr screams, seeing his father being burned and tries to run to his side.
- No, you cannot disturb him, Namhr, it is your father's duty, he will do with Krima, the same as he did with Zila. It is our culture, when a man's wife dies prematurely, at her funeral, the man must also share the woman's pain in leaving his people, sons, daughters and family members!
Due to the strong cold of the abyss, the fire is not lethal, only Fashr's arms and chest start to burn, but he soon leaves Krima in the coffin. After that, he sits on one of the patio benches and there he falls.
Meanwhile, the procession to take Krima to the cemetery continues, only a few healers remain to look after Fashr.
Namhr too soon arrives, running, she throws herself at her father's chest, burned and bloody.
- Dad!
- Don't worry, I'll be fine, the important thing ... is that your mother was honored ...
He then passes out.
- Dad!!!
