Chapter 18 - A new generation

As much as I am curious to see your skills, I can do that later, right now I have more pressing things to attend to, starting with this woman in front of me asking me to name her.

"Are you her? The ant who protected me?"

She moved a few strands of hair behind her ear and calmly answered me.

"I am indeed that ant, but from now on I will no longer be that ant, for I will devote my whole life to serve you."

So that's what the system meant by she is bound to me, apparently a bond has been created between me and her with light magic as the basis, I will take this situation as a contract and the moment I give her a name, I will be signing it.

"So there! Take me to Pluto, that is my first order, when the time is right I will give you a proper name."

With total happiness she stood up, a smile from ear to ear is stamped on her face, she took my hand and we started walking, as I passed through the door I found five pairs of soldier ants, for there is no other way to describe them if not like this.

Their body is large and sturdy, their shell is thick and looks like armor that protects their vital points, their shoulders are broad and their arms are a bit short for their overall size, but this is compensated by a black spear that they carry.

His lower half is quadrupedal and his legs are thick like towers, on closer look I see that his face does not have a mouth, his head seems to have a helmet that only leaves his eyes and jaws visible.

To compensate for limited vision his antennae are long enough to touch his knees, half man half ant, where the upper part is humanoid and the lower part of a quadruped ant.

"Get out of the way"

She spoke in my language and the spears that were pointed at me, pointed at the ceiling again and they moved out of the way and we started to move, looking back I see that the ants are following us keeping a certain distance.

As she is pulling my hand she stays three steps ahead of me, so when I can see her back, where her shoulder blades are located there are two circles, I conclude that this is where her wings must be kept.

Looking further down I see that the skirt is too close to her body so I can see the lines of her ass, she sways from left to right and I can't take my eyes off her, my hand even moves unconsciously, but I stop it halfway.

It's not that, I can't take advantage of someone who can't say no to me, I have to start a subject or I'll go crazy. With that thought in mind I speak the first thing that pops into my head.

"How can they understand you if you are speaking my language?"

Still moving she answered me.

"I have an ability like Eaco's, by touching someone he absorbs knowledge of the target's mind and so can learn the spoken language, in the same way he can transfer this knowledge to others"

Wow this ability is pretty amazing, if I eat him will I steal it? No, that thought is too optimistic, first I would have to beat him, as I thought she continued her explanation.

"However, this ability is somewhat limited, since if he absorbs too much from someone he may end up losing himself, my ability is different in that sense I don't absorb anything, I receive it"

She looked back and touched her own forehead.

"The moment I found you I received right here, all your sadness and loneliness, you wanted to talk to someone, you wanted someone to help you, the fear the pain, all this and still there is that smell emanating from your body, ah, all this made me fall in love with you"

She started walking again after she finished explaining, my heart is tight, her face just now, her smile, her eyes, is she serious? I won't be alone anymore? What is this feeling? Nobody has ever told me that.

The rest of the way, I was silent, I didn't know what to say to her, I don't know what she wants to hear, but there were still many doubts, smell? What does she mean by that? Despite everything I'm glad I didn't die before, at least now I know I'm not alone.

"IDIOT!"

"She's going to leave you"

"Just like your parents, just like your sister"

It's that voice again, that boy inside me, he is also a very big variable, I have to talk to Pluto soon, only he can answer my questions, with my head held high I follow my path until I find the doors to the queen's room.

When I go through the doors there is the one I seek, Pluto, in front of him are three small unknown objects, they are well packed and move from time to time, I am quite curious to know what it is.

"Hey Jimmy come here I have some deliveries for you to make"

A young black boy with curly hair walks down the street he thinks about crossing to the other side, but in the distance he sees a truck coming at high speed so he holds back, he stops and looks up at the sky, the day is cloudy, when he lowers his head again a woman is crossing the street.

His head is down because she is distracted with her cell phone, the headphones in her ears would prevent her from hearing if he screamed, he doesn't know why, but his body moved without his command, and when he regained his senses he was already pushing the woman.

It was only for a second, but their eyes met, then a massive force hits his body and he flies like a kite whose string is broken, a heartbreaking scream is heard from somewhere and the last image this young man sees before his eyes close are raindrops.

(You have been rewarded for your act of courage)

(Choice: do you wish to be reborn in Gaia's world?)

(Yes) (No)

On this day a massive amount of accidents happened all over the world, but strangely all the dead had something in common, in all of them a mark was found on the back of the neck, in the shape of a prism circled by a rhombus.
