Chapter 27
Allatou grief was still affecting her emotion and seeing the only thing that gave her hope suddenly crack, she erratically crawled toward the orb and sobbed out of desperation and still clinging to the idea that was presented to her, even if it was just a small fraction of a chance, now this possibility was fading fast as she grabs the black orb as big as her fist and held it near her cheek and continued to cry.
Ramiel saw and heard everything, like Allatou he understood her pain, it was similar to his mother as she endured all the pain before even at a very young age he could recall their ordeal and suffering in life, he felt a sudden feeling of guilt but even knowing this he remained silent and spoke nothing as tears from his own eyes fell.
Allatou walked around what seemed to be her home, Ramiel was just observing within the void, he was like staring at a pixelated television that was hazy, even if this was all circumstantial based on an unknown sequence this opened a small window for him to visually see beyond the void, without even understanding what prompted this to happen in the first place he was just grateful that it happened.
she continued to walk inside what looked like a medieval cabin that Ramiel compared to the images he was able to read of books, as her tears fell on the orb he opened the door leading out and he gasp at what he saw, it was a world filled with everything that he dreamt before, he held his excitement as she travels beyond the confinements of her home.
her home was surrounded by trees like a grove, as she travel within
Ramiel saw many fascinating things while viewing inside the void, as unusual habitats and vegetation could be seen and creatures big and small were freely roaming the land, their physical features and characteristics were different to animals on earth.
While in a state of amazement, he was intently looking at something peculiar there were tall pillars on the other side of a large lake, and these pillars were equally placed at an interval distance to encircle a large area.
Allatou slowly stroll on a wooden dock that stretches 20 feet and at the very end stood a pavilion near the deepest part of the lake, Ramiel was still admiring the area when she spoke out a poem about losing a child.
The sound of your voice
A piece of new music in my ear
That brightened everything
in my night
Whatever you enfolded in your gaze
Quickened in the joy of its being
Your eyes would always sparkle
With wonderful things.
Though your days here were short and brief,
Your spirit was live, and awake, before
now you are in my hand,
silent and cold incomplete.
looking towards each other no longer
From the old distance of your silence
Now you dwell inside the rhythm of breath,
As close to us as we are to ourselves.
she was about to throw the broken orb when Ramiel gather all his strength and shouts with all his might to stop Allatou from disposing of the orb at the bottom of the lake,
"please stop!"
all her muscles suddenly contracted so stop the force she was about to exert and just stop her arm going upward toward her hand, she heard the voice loud and clear, and she taught the orb was no longer functioning on the grounds that it fractured mysteriously and assumed the connection to the void has severed.
her feelings were now on a rational level, and she asks Ramiel for forgiveness because she hid the true reason why he was inside the void in the first place, Ramiel calmly told her that he was sorry too for being insensitive and foolish toward her feeling concerning the loss of her only child, she inhales deeply and said it was her sadness the drove her to act like that, she was an honourable being because the pain and suffering in her heart drove her to collude with lower being with malicious personalities.
she sat at the dock pavilion and explained her side and continuously asked the young boy inside the void to forgive her for the deplorable acts that she would now openly confess, but before she begins Allatou with a shivering tone pleaded to Ramiel to share the last moment of the remains of her son's spirit before it disappears.
Ramiel said ok with one condition, and that was if she goes back into her home and got comfortable as he once again shares what happened when she was away, but now he will be more sensitive and emotionally selective to the topic at hand.
she finally voices out a giggle and openly says to him that the manner of his speaking was very mature, Ramiel also laugh while walking back to her isolated home, a guard that was stationed at the pillar continued to observe and relay her activity to their commanding officer back at the main castle that governs this particular realm.
As she entered her home again, her loneliness and sadness were still hovering in her heart but were now unconsciously changing into a new sense of aspiration, she sat on her chair near the fireplace and her left side was a side table with a drawer in which her husband had given her a small music box. Opening it, she forcibly tore out the cylinder music mechanisms and threw it toward the open fireplace and gently put the orb inside it.
Ramiel was wondering why she did that, and not just return the ord to the altar, she answered by stating this was the most comfortable in her house and that she never expects he would still be in this circumstance. as he promised Ramiel started to share his encounter with her son spirit.
Based on the events that transpired inside the void, she was holding on to a fruitless endeavour believing in the illusion that she was dreaming to fulfill even deep in her heart she knew that the chances of her son recovering were small and at times unreal, but she was running out of options.
so she just accepted the idea from a deranged unstable individual named Ellmorith and her son Drorzathar in exchange for their freedom, this was her last chance and their request was within her power, she desperately agreed to it after the agreement Ellmorith told Allatou to save his son spirit was to obtain another spirit and force feed it into her son's weak lifeforce,
The other spirit had to have the same frequency as his son, and have strong harmony with their energy waves, as well as being mentally weak. and the two demons made preparations for this agreement, Allatou hesitated to give her son's remaining soul to Ellmorith,
Though she was not the most powerful being in her realm, she was known for her mastery of space control, especially chaos magic. so she took that chance, and the orb was created to be linked to the void chamber after gaining enough energy the ord will also act as a doorway so her son's soul can finally be infused into a host vessel.
After waiting patiently for days, she heard a voice on an orb tied to the void, which gave her a sense of hope, after hearing Ramiels story she finally realized that it was not meant to happen, Ramiel was speechless and was thinking of a word to comfort her, until he recalled what the Ellmorith person told her that they need to the same frequency and have strong harmony with their energy waves, maybe that is why her son was able to transfer years of his memory to Ramiels consciousness.
The same question crossed her mind until a revelation occurred to her, causing her to wonder if her son's soul hadn't truly vanished but had been absorbed by Ramiel since Ramiel's memories of his son only appear for a few years in his physical body because of his age.
she wasn't sure at the moment, thinking that she needs more time and verification from experts and the only way to do that is to wait for the right opportunity mean while she decides to change the topic for the time being.
the heart-to-heart discussion was meaningful and life-changing, as daytime in her world ended their conversation and opened new doors this alleviated Allatou broken heart soon laughter filled her home.
she wanted to explain to Ramiel the reason why she did those things in the first place, but Ramiel said everything has its right time and ask her to get some rest because it was already night, and said there will be plenty of time tomorrow. as she gets ready to sleep she thank Ramiel.
in response, Ramiel said "good night mom " realising it was a mistake he wanted to retract his word but Allatou just said "ok" and went to bed which was near the chair she was sitting on for a while ago.
as she try to sleep her heart started to race, this feeling made her happy, while Ramiel was flustered thinking of his honest mistake.
