Chereads / The Scion / Chapter 31 - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 - Chapter 31

Queen Allatou was known throughout her territory for her exceptional battle prowess and dedication to make her empire the envy of others, after months of the sleepless night, she finally was able to close her eyes and dream without crying and waking up from the pain of losing her child,

for two and half years in the lunisolar calendar, the Queen continued to stay within the Barrier dome alone, hoping to see the changes in her son's condition, but after all her efforts her child's physical body slowly withers away until nothing was left for her to even hold. seeing her son vanish in front of her eyes she was still able to extract his son's core soul and was safely placed inside the pocket void secretly.

this pocket void was the demon Ellmorith's special task two years ago to ensure the queen son's soul would have a chance to regenerate and live again in the future, but in return, the demon Ellmorith requested to be granted safe passage into the human world once more,

the secret agreement was conducted and after a week the demon Ellmorith, was able to forge the pocket void orb as a temporary chamber for the queen's son's fragile soul, Ellmorith personally handed the orb, disguised as a gift that was sent from one of the queen's brothers, so nobody in the empire would question it.

the situation of her son's weak energy was well known in the land, which is why she need sufficient time to mend her son's condition and hopefully can get his energy frequency increased, so council advisors that his husband controls suggested staying in this vast flourishing dense land that her husband Duke Gilvores Dallmethad family once used, even though the place was far south and the ecosystem inside was deadly, but it had the most concentrated energy flow in the entire 12 realms.

it was the land of the forsaken, even before entering its territorial boundary a 50-meter-tall decomposing Roots of what remained from the Sacred trees can be seen stretching hundreds of miles covering almost 4 million square kilometres of once desolate land, scholars wrote and studied old scriptures and based on their research this historically known as the only remaining part of the cosmic tree that the supreme being created to filter and maintain a balance of both divine and Chaos energy throughout all matter of life in the cosmos,

but It was cut down by one of the seven Archons that was tasked with the construction of the physical universe by the singular supreme being and the remaining roots were a mix of chaos and divine energy, this transformed the land throughout 10 millennia and gave rise to many living organisms that flourished there, despite their animalistic behaviour, their savagery and power can send fear and can even rival a lesser demon, nevertheless, these mindless beasts can easily be killed with proper planning, superior power, and strategic battle skills.

The forest contained several stone pillars with rune carvings that were strategically forged to encircle 10 hectares of open livable land, which was used to hide and protect the location, this that was supposed to be a secret training ground of the first Demon Warlord Moth'tumon Dallmethad's to have the most powerful army in the 12 realms until he was killed by a Seraph and was forgotten,

after the war and the Sovereign king Samael Demiurgos took control of all 12 realms by power and blood, Duke Gilvores Dallmethad's clan secretly refurbish the place and added 40 meters tall 6 meter wide 5-floor habitable siege towers were placed in the four cardinal directions to oversee the area both inside and out like a dome.

as a new day starts she remember that everything that happened yesterday was real, so she stood up and open the music box that she carefully places on the side table next to her chair and started to ask about the broken orb, patiently waiting and anticipating that it was not a dream.

she was about to lose all hope when a voice said hello, this made her excited and recall everything they discuss, and the second thing she said was the young boy's name "hello Ramiel"

with a giggling tone, she waited for his answer, "hello too"

at that very moment, she forgot her sadness, as more days passed by and learned so much about each other, Ramiel came to the conclusion about Allatou's real dream and that was to have a child, the pain of losing one almost drove her mad. after hundreds of hour sharing stories about her happiness and painful parts of life, he deduces that he can alleviate and heal the pain even in a small way.

Ramiel was able to understand the demon realm by far they are similar to mankind, and because he was able to see her true form and confirm that the horrific physical form of a demon was over the top and filled with so much exaggeration to make their kind look to be abstract and unattractive to even comprehend by any mortal being.

seeing a thin but still beautiful woman with tired golden eyes and pale ash white dry skin, her hair was as black as his mother but lack any grooming for her for a very long time, because if this he would remember his mother and this would make his heart ache,

at the same time, he would also recall what Grandpa Tang taught him before, that a true man acts accordingly based on the current situation he was in, whatever it might be. so he can't be too emotional and see to it he can survive, adapt, and overcome what problem was thrown at him.

Ramiel would ask so many things about their history, culture, and way of life and other things, Allatou would openly share everything that she knows and because Ramiel told her that he could see beyond the pocket void, after knowing this peculiar information, she fashioned a leather net-type pouch bag that day while having a conversation with Ramiel, after she was now able to place the orb safely and wore it around her waist like an ornament, so Ramiel could see the surrounding area within outside of her home, this made Ramiel more captivated with everything that he could now see.

the guard that was placed there by the 3 noble houses to observe her activity saw her change. but seeing her talk to herself questions her sanity, all the paid guards just continue to watch her and never intervene with her after all if she wanted to leave this so-called isolated place, all the armoured guards won't even have sufficient power to scratch her skin all of their lives would tragically end within a few minutes,

they were having a picnic near the lake that was inside the dome, Allatou ask Ramiel if there were moments he wanted to live and have a physical body, he told he has one but it was in the human world where he once lived, her feelings shifted from delight to fear knowing that if given a chance Ramiel would immediately leave her to be with his true mother.

he saw her expression and told her to not cry because he was thankful to have met her and showed him care even in a different form and manner. the Told her there is no rule about not having two mothers at the same time, the bigger the family the better,

"I always wanted to have a big caring and happy family"

"I hate being alone so can you be my mother too?"

Allatou's emotion suddenly became uncontrollable, as wild chaotic energy started to swirl around her, the force was so massive the guards in the 4 siege tower felt it and understood that it is the right moment to pack up everything important and just leave their station in haste.

the grass that covered the area was burning at a fast rate, and leaves that were swept upward turns to dust instantly, electrical current would lash outward and hit the lake that was near her instantly killing any eatable fish within, as a school of dead fish now floats on top of the lake, the dome barrier was being bombarded as the same time with powerful surging hits of both lightning and fire every hit would resonate and the impact could be heard from a mile away,

the ground was shaking and the wind surrounding her was ripping the trees that were hundreds of years old with roots buried deep in the soil were plucked with no effort and ease,

her happiness was overwhelming most of the savage creatures roaming outside the dome felt sick and was forced to run farther away knowing whatever being was generating that much power could easily obliterate their entire race without even breaking a sweat.

the chaotic energy storm was eating the entire barrier that was confirmed could stop a swarm of Wyvern beasts from doing any damage, is now being ripped piece by piece like it was made of glass.

Ramiel saw this and started to get her attention by calling out her name so she could calm her emotions not knowing that this was not created out of anger but of joy. the barrier just shattered and her energy exploded upward like a beam of warm light.

A distinguished old man was having a hard time gaining any information about the specific location where the queen was residing because there is no being within the forsaken forest that he could have a civilized conversation, the moment Trazgallen entered any area dozen savage, rabid, mindless, beast attack him with no fear or hesitation.

he has been fending off multiple beasts for 2 weeks now, even at that very moment, he was choking on a 2-meter-tall Chimera beast with his right hand and decapitating the rest of their race to the death, the blood from his clothing was attracting more mindless beasts, and Trazgallen Villmarine Ber'gith was getting annoyed by all these uncultured viciousness,

he was known to be a refined sophisticated and well-informed being who always seek knowledge rather than used brute force.

all of the onslaughts he gains as soon as he steps foot into the sacred roots reach and influence, he was ambushed, barraged, stabbed, cut, poisoned and even burned by acid, he tried his utmost best to elude those things, and hopefully just leave him be, not to mention that all of their attacks were useless on him,

one dragon roar could instantly incapacitate every single agile and aggressive living thing within the forest for a mile away, but doing so this would make him depart from his investigative plans and finally get the needed answers to help out a long time friend.

suddenly a surge of energy rose upward, he instantly recognize the energy wavelength and was finally able to locate her location because the barrier disintegrate and unsealed her energy inside the dome and was able to reach Trazgallen perception adding that flashy beam of light was enough to confirm it and he was just a few miles away.
