"Am I not worthy of those abilities? This tree. I can't take this tree's abilities? Why is that? Then why did I train so much? Why the hell?"
"Istia. "
"Father! Why are you here? Did you come here to say that again? That I'm not the right vessel?"
"Yes. That's how it is. With the amount of MANA this tree has, you can never hold it. We have to wait for the foretelling to come real."
"Forget it. I'm going."
"Where are you going?"
"Nowhere."
Foreseeing is it? That prediction. What if it doesn't get real? Then what? I wanted to protect this place but I'm not even capable. Well, then I'll also believe in the prediction. Let this place be safe. That's all I want. Ah...what's that?
"Who are you? How did you enter this region ? Other kinds cannot enter here. So how did you? And what kind are you?".
What is it? Looks like an elf but a bit different? Why isn't he talking?
"Who are you? And what is this place? I don't know how I invade your region and I don't have anything to explain."
Oh, it is talking. Similar to elves. Somehow... Is he the one they foresaw? A mutated elf? So is that true? I can't be sure. I have to confirm it first. I should examine its behavior first. should I take him under my surveillance? Hmm, good idea.
After a week-
He seems normal to me. Maybe that foreseen future is real. Maybe. I'm happy if that's what it is. All for Elvian.
"Father! Are you feeling weak again?"
"No, it's normal. Don't worry. It's just that the end is nearing me. "
"Father, the thing is as you know that elf I told you about. I don't know. Maybe he is the mutated elf from the foreseeing. "
" I'll check him then. "
"Ah. father! What happened? Father!!"
The current moon of Elvian collapsed at that moment. Father collapsed. He had a little bit of time. It is how it is. My only option is to watch that mutant. I want him to be the mutant. Really. I want him. The things are getting out of hand.
Mardin is a little bit aggressive. He doesn't like outsiders. He was beating that mutant's ass out of him. What a reckless thing to do.... zzz.
"What are you doing,mardin? He is my prisoner. Did I give you any permission to do anything? I don't remember ."
Ahhh.I saved this mutant somehow. I took him to the divine tree. From where he can unlock his abilities to hold the divine powers of the tree. A deal to exchange abilities and information. Why does he need information? Is this wager safe? Is this the right choice? I already started playing this bet I don't want to back off now. If something gets suspicious enough, I will kill him with my own hands.
Father get well soon. I need you.
He does not look so suspicious. He just takes information from me. Also training himself.
6 days later-
Those elves were missing I took the mutant with me to find them. That bush. Their senses didn't fade till then. Ice elves could feel the senses of the dead even after some days. Ice elves have great senses emitting from them. That's how they sense dangers around them.
Suspicious. How I can sense every one of them in one area? It is rather suspicious. I just keep doubting this mutant every time. This happened after I took off his chains from his MANA. Why do I doubt him so much? Must be some reason behind this uneasiness. I really should kill him. Or I should at least put chains on his mana once again.
On no this giant creep. Why does it have to appear now?
"I'm..... I'm scared. I can't..This thing is so huge..... I....."
This mutant. He is scared? Why did I remember about my past from him?
"I'm scared. Father! I don't want to fight anything. I don't want anything. please.."
"Istia. You are the future moon. You have to be strong. Stronger than anyone else. I have my faith in you, Istia."
Yes, I was scared too. I wanted to give up. Father, I still don't want to give up. I want to say this to you. I won't give up. Mutant. If that's what you all want to believe then I'll also believe it. But still, I won't give up.
But when I was in low health status. That mutant attacked me. seriously. This confirms that this bet was a foul. This was just a foul play. I killed the mutant. Maybe he was never a mutant. Mardin and others, I'm sorry. It was mostly because of me. My idiotic decision. I...I'm sorry. I wanted to defend Elvian but instead of that, I put a risk on Elvian. I'm sorry.
"Why are you alive yet? You were dead. I confirmed that you died. How come you are not dead? What are you?"
"Hahahaha... Sad isn't it? Hahaha."
Ah, sad? yes, it is. Why? I have to save Elvian. I have to kill him. I have to kill him again. I have to...Elvian....Father...Save Elvian everyone. This mutant... Save Elvian.
Memories? These elves are like humans. They also have feelings, intelligence. But humans don't have such abilities. They are like empty vessels. For me though. But isn't it the same? This world doesn't have laws. No rules. No obligations. They shouldn't have unnecessary feelings. Just like I don't have any.
What is problematic? Problematic is that this stupid elf sent a signal. Whatever you send it doesn't matter. What I have to do is go back to Elvian. Then see what I can get from that divine tree.
Well, one awesome thing is that..
