Chapter 29 - Chap 26: Anasthacius

A/N: I am tryna update asap and the character personality and plot might have slight changes cus it's a fan fic after all.

I got saved again and again by the black magic entity inside me. He's the soul of emperor Aternitus.

He said something along the lines of wanting revenge and conquering  empire but in any case I am Bewitched by him.

This is one of those rare occurances where I am myself and not controlled by him. Fact is back then I didn't even get a chance to defend myself and my body and my soul were at his mercy.

In any case, he hasn't completely been able to control me for the past few years that's why at times I take over.

I saw myself walking on the road of the busy market. I think the Alpheus Mansion is near here somewhere. I heard that Penelope's child was there...

I need to go there and... But why am I going there? I feel like I am loosing my memories. Ah! I need to do something about this soul inside me... Otherwise...

"So that's where the weird vibes came from." I heard someone. I looked around in the busy market to find the person who said that. But there was no one. Seems like I must have hallucinated it.

I was about to start walking again when I felt a little tug on my coat from near my knees.

I looked down and there I saw small girl with brown hair and cerulean blue eyes. She must be around 5 or 6 years old. Judging by her clothes she must be a noble considering how well groomed she was. Just the fact that due to market being so Crowded and busy no one was able to notice a noble girl like her...

But what was she doing here without any servants?! That's dangerous! Firstly she is 5, secondly she is an aristocrat and thirdly she is in a busy market without any servants or an adult and fourthly she was talking to me. But, what was she talking about?

"Hey, who are..."

"Are you a pedophile?"

"What? No!" My face blushed with embarrassment! How could she say this? Who taught her that?! Gosh!

"No right? Then you don't need to know who I am" she said with a very straight face. Oh dear! I don't know who her parents are but they did a terrible job.

"Hey..." I started. There's no way I was gonna shut up when a five year old snaps at me.

"I will help you to release that dark magic entity" she said.

"Hah? And I will believe a five year old."

"Good. Let's go somewhere else to remove the old soul from you before he takes over again"

"Wait- I was being sarcastic"

"But I am not joking"

What's with this kid acting like an adult? I hardly doubt she can use basic magic forget about removing Aternitus's soul from me. Hey wait... She said she can remove it but how did she know about it in the first place? And why is she helping me?

"Listen kid, I-"

"Believe me. It's not you it's me. Come fast. I will be in trouble if uncle knows this."

She didn't even give me a chance to speak rather just pulled me straight to an alley. There were not many people there but still the dark alley was dangerous. At this point I started to be afraid for both of us. What if Aternitus takes over me now? What will happen to this arrogant kid?

No I need to get away.

*Ba thump Ba thump*

I felt my heart beat faster than usual. Seems like Aternitus is taking over.

Oh no! This is bad.

"Seems like he has started to wake up again" the girl suddenly stopped and turned around. How did she even know that? Who is she? Why does she act this way?

"We'll have to do it here" she continued.

"Do what?" I started feeling very sick right now. Felt like I would faint ag any time.

"Magic removal" she said with a straight face and her eyes staring in mine.

"How to you-" It was hrd for me to keep my conciousness. I was about to fall down but to prevent that I put my one knee down on ground and kept my composure. It seemed as if I was kneeling in front of that kid. i met her eye level. My vision was fading away.

"Just keep your mouth open we don't have much time."

"But what are you- GAAH!" As I opened my mouth to speak I could see her pulling something out of my mouth. I could feel something being sucked out of me. Soon, I saw something like a black fog being pulled out of my mouth.

My first thought seeing that was... 'THATS VERY GROSS!'
