Chapter 53 - Visitor (2)

I was sitting in balcony of my luxurious room provided by the Royalty of The Kingdom of Renhard in their Raj Mahal.

"It certainly is pleasing here..."

I took a deep breath and exhaled as I admired the environment of Celis.

I really didn't get much of the time like this for easing myself through out my entire life.

I didn't sleep cause my nightmares haunt me. I don't necessarily need to train any more since there is no room for improvement. Nor do I have someone who could accompany me living a normal life.

There is no such excitement left in my life.

I don't feel like that I would experience something new, adventurous.

When sun sets, one look forward to the next day. Wait for sun to rise again so that they could have fun with their loved ones again. Spend their time with them. Grow old together...

There is no such thing in my life.

All there is, is this suffering.

The suffering I am enduring for ages now.

Loneliness

Solitary

Despair

Fear...

There is nothing to bother about.

All these negative would be enough to live even if it wouldn't be easy.

But with this void, there is nothing to to worry about. Nothing to bother about.

I don't feel like taking care of someone.

I don't feel like being worried about something.

There is nothing. Just, Void.

And in the end.

It will End...

"Seems like you are in your own world right now... Does something bothers you? You seem to be lost."

A voice speak to me as I sighed.

"...There is nothing to bother about. I'm just enjoying the view." I replied.

"Oh really? It doesn't seemed that way to me. If you have something why don't you discuss it with me, I promise I will hear you out properly."

"I said it's nothing... Moreover,"

I stand up from my seat and turned to the source of voice behind me.

There stands a beautiful young lady in the centre of the room. She was around the same age as Lucia.

She was wearing a saree. Combination of black and purple color, the same color as her beautiful hairs. Her blue eyes were attractive enough to charm any existence.

She was emitting the purest divinity one could ever possibly imagine.

"Intruding one's room without their permission is not a great act,"

"Really? It seem to me as if you were waiting for someone, like someone's arrival... You knew that I'm going to pay a visit!"

"Well, I certainly can't deny it. After Kai, I got an intuition that you might pay a visit sooner or later."

"Isn't that the reason you took a day of from your duty?"

"I just want to take some rest so I asked for a leave, that's it."

I said as I walked by her to sofa and sat.

She then turn her face to me,

"Since you were very aware of that then you might also be aware of the purpose I am here for?"

"That is something only you could be aware of, isn't it?" I threw question back to her.

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘵...

"Can't deny, but I thought that you might know..."

For some reason, she was a bit troubled by something but it was for the slightest moment that anyone could possibly catch.

"Do you really think that I am concerned about any of those things?"

"I know, you're not interested in the slightest,"

The powerfull persona on her face was enough to prove how well she know me.

I got up and passed her as if I was no longer interested in conversation.

"There is a task I'd like to assign you for."

"And you believe I'll agree?"

I said as my back turned on her.

"You will. For sure. Atleast that is confirmed, else I won't have come her to waste my 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲."

The confidence her words held compelled me to look back at her.

I looked back, to inspect, over my shoulder.

She was standing there with a grin on her face as if she knew that her words would be enough to convince me, no, force me to look back at her.

"You have changed..."

I said to which she laughed.

"But you, on the other hand, are same as always. You don't learn after all did you,"

"Is that all you are here for? Your cheap provocation won't work on me... Or is it the very reason you're here for?"

"I just state the truth. Accept it or not, you have always been like this. Never consider the potential danger of your doings. You—"

"So you're here to lecture me, well then—"

"Just shut it! Don't you dare to cut my speech."

I turned back to face her.

"You think you have any right to do so?" I asked her.

"What?"

"I said do you have any right to lecture me?! You... Do you think that I'll let it go that easily! After what you did to me!"

"Look, I am at the fault and that I know! I accept that what I did was, by no means, merited. But you have to listen to me!"

"Huh." I glared.

"Who are you to boss me around,"

"That's it! That's what I was talking about. You are ignorance is the reason of misri. That's why what you did up until now was nothing more—!"

Before she could go on any longer, I detoured the distance between us and... before the reality process the event, I slammed her against the wall.

"Ugh!"

My hand around her throat, she was incapable of escaping. Then I lifted her slightly in air.

She wasn't resisting at all, not even trying to touch my arm with her hands or anything.

She knew very well that it's impossible to free herself from my grip. The divinity she had been emitting up until now was slowly suppressing.

But still, she was looking me eyes. The eye contact she didn't broke from the very moment when I faced her.

"Are you telling me that what I did up until now was nothing but stupidity?! That all I did was in vein?!"

I loosened my grip allowing her to speak.

"T-That's not.. what I am... trying to say..."

In a way, we had been testing eachother.

I released her throat, as she coughed to comfort herself, but moved a bit closer to her.

"I am surprised that you even dared to show up infront of me. Weren't you afraid?"

"Assertive as always, aren't you? *cough*"

She smirked at me.

"Afraid. Heh, of what? Death?"

I drew closer to her face. Lifted her chin up with my hand.

"Afraid of not living."

I said as I looked deeper into her eyes. I could see my reflection in them.

"Why should I be afraid of such thing? It's not like it's dangerous here,"

She answered without flinching the slightest, rather she looked up at me with the same sharpness in her eyes. Maybe they were even more sharper then before.

"You don't fear me? The potential danger is right infront of you. You know it very well as I do that I won't hesitate to end your life right here and... I'm not afraid of consequences."

"You are, without a shadow of a doubt, right... You can destroy me right here, right now if you want to and no one could dare to raise a voice against you. But, the question is, are you willing to do such thing?"

"Hoh?"

She said with an absolute believe.

I smiled internally.

"I don't mind the slightest if it's you who 𝗲𝗻𝗱 my life. Infact, it would be my greatest honor that it is you who—"

"Alright. I'll listen up."

I sighed as I let go her chin.

"Thank you," She smiled and this time, it was one filled with affection.

I tried to move away from to regain some room but,

"But before that,"

She used her arms to wrap them around neck as she pulled me closer to her.

The force she was exerting wasn't much but I didn't resisted because it was the only way out through this.

The distance between our face was less then 3 inches.

"... It's been a while, bhaiya," She said.

This time, her eyes weren't the same as before.

They were the eyes waited ages just to see certain someone they dear but never met. A long awaited reunion.

"It is, indeed, Amelia." I smiled.

Think of this as right opportunity, she leaned forward to closer the distance which was yet to be made.

𝘈𝘩𝘩, 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴...

I turned my head other way as her lips landed on my cheek.

"Aouu~ Why not lips~?"

She showed her fake disappointment, or rather dissatisfaction.

I didn't replied but she was clearly enjoying it.

Witnessing my silence, she teased more.

"Come on, do be so shy~ Weren't we used to kiss like that all the time,"

"It was when you were a kid,"

"I don't think that make much difference though,"

To which I smiled and said,

"It does, little one... I'll rather die then kissing an old h—"

𝑲𝑨𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑶𝑴!!!

Without any further notice, an energy blast pass by my ear and made a hole through ceiling.

"You really are something bhaiya... Saying such thing with a such a gentle smile on a maiden's face, how rude!"

"What? I just—"

𝑲𝑨𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑶𝑴!!!

Another hole in ceiling... I have to fix it later.

"Soory, my hand slipped fufufu~"

Or so she said.

Though she was still wearing smile her left eye was twitching.

𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦, 𝘐 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵?

"Why don't you have seat, we could talk that way too."

"I'll appreciate that,"

𝘠𝘦𝘴, 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤.

Amelia took her seat on sofa as I sat on other one in front of her. It's easy to talk such things face to face afterall.

"First of all, are you going to act on the current situation?"

"By that, what do you mean,"

"Kai's proposal. The request he made, are going to fullfill it or just going to stay non-reactant,"

"Ah that..."

Before Amelia, Kai approached me with a request.

Obviously I wasn't that intrested and still believe that I am not going to get involved. I said that I'll do what he wants but honestly, I myself don't know how it will turn out.

"I believe that I'll let what happen, happen. I have not interest in getting myself involved with mortals neither do I am into leading them to 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮."

"I see... It's not a surprise. Kai was over the moon when he thought that you actually heard his request but... all you did is to listen to his request."

Speaking of surprise, she was more of a disappointed.

"Wheather I act upon those requests is upto me," I have to make this clear.

"You're right. We are no one to force you on this... After all, you're not even the same as us,"

I have never thought of welfare of mortals, especially now, of the time. The only reason I am here is to fullfill my karmic deeds. It's their job to act on the given situation not mine. I mind my own business and they should mind their own.

What one do is upto them. Whether one follow dharma or not is entirely their own volition because what comes after that is, end.

Right or wrong. Good or evil. One shall always complete their course of karmic deeds. Number of lives they live just creates more suffering.

Once the process of karmic deeds stabilize.

Once the cycle of birth and death is completed.

The End is what wait for them.

"Soory, but I believe you wasted your time." I break the silence with those words.

"No, it's alright. I expected this much, it's just..."

My response doesn't bother her but it was something else.

"If it goes on like this, I couldn't imagine it happening..." She muttered while in deep thoughts.

"What is it, Amelia?" I tilted my head. I wouldn't say I'm not curious.

"Huh?... A-Ah, N-No, it's nothing. Moreover... Are you alright, bhaiyaa?"

She asked somewhat worried.

"It seems like you are in much pain right now,"

"You could sense it?"

"I can feel it."

"Your prãna is allover the place. Your body is leaking out too much. If let it like that it could be disastrous!"

She was right. I have been suppressing all my prãna and divinity together and my body, at this point, couldn't bear it anymore.

It wouldn't be a surprise if I wake up in the morning and there is nothing around me.

And of course it hurts a lot but there is nothing I could do about it but to endure it. That's also the reason I don't sleep anymore so I could not let my subconscious mind get over me.

"Well, it's not like I am troubled with it. I can just—"

"NO!" She pointed a finger at me and shoot me down.

"Geez, why are you always like this. You know, you don't have to hold back anymore. Just Leave It To Me." She said as held out her hand.

With a glow of faint purple light, a ball or a crystal ball, a bit smaller then a soccer ball in size, appeared out of nowhere.

"What's this?"

"Think of it as an empty cell. You can channel all your divinity into this, this ball is capable of storing all of it!" She puffed her chest as she said.

"Who made this?"

"Of course who else, it's me~!"

"You came well prepared,"

"Last time when Kai visited you, he felt the same way I did the moment I arrived here, that is, your energy is going berserk. He thought that it's normal of you but I dare not to take risk when he mentioned it. So I made one."

"Really? But you sure it can handle such amount in itself."

"Fret not, it took me millenium to fully complete this thing and I tested myself so I am confident enough that it will workout, I think."

𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠? 𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴.

But she spend a great amount of time just to build this cell for me. It might be a bit cruel on my side if I didn't even try it.

"This crystal ball will suck all your divinity and you will be back to your mortal state,"

"!"

Even what she said is a lie, I'll still try it.

If it mean to free me from this curse, I'll anything and everything.
