'What should I do?' I thought as I looked at her creepy expression. She wore a crimson gown, with crimson hair and eyes. It suited her well, but due to her creepy expression, she looked psycho. She started to come close to me. When she was around 10 feet away from me, I could hear her mumbling.
"Is he afraid of me? But I put the best smile on my face," she said to herself as she halted in her tracks. When I heard her talking about her best smile, I thought, 'Is this your best smile?'
"You should maintain some distance. Say hello first," she said to herself. When I saw how she was conversing with herself, I understood that she must have developed a dual personality disorder due to living alone for a long time, and that the other personality of hers must be the smart one that trained the MC.
"Hello," she shouted, which startled me because her voice echoed in the forest. Maybe they also forget to think. They are saying instead of thinking. I never dealt with a mental patient, and I didn't know how to deal with her, but I could deal with her smart personality, I thought as I took a step toward her.
"Hello," I said as I waved my hand, which made her smile even more creepier as she laughed like a maniac while saying, "He he he, he replied."
'I should definitely talk with the smart one,' I thought as I looked at her behavior. She was jumping and laughing like a maniac after receiving my response.
"Can I talk with your big sister?" I said, as I considered the smart one must be her big sister.
This caused her to laugh even more, which confused me. After some time, she said, "Yes, yes, talk to me. I am a big sister. She was born, ah... a long time ago, but I am older than her," while moving even closer than before. She was about 2 feet away, and I could feel her breathing. I never thought that she was the big sister.
"Sorry, I mean little sister. I want to talk with the little one," I corrected myself, which caused her to make a somewhat sad expression, but it still looked scary.
"He doesn't want to be my friend. What should I do?" she asked to her smart self. "Don't worry, let me talk to him. I will convince him to become your friend," the smart one replied.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" the smart one said. I was very confused because of these two personalities talking from one body. Before anything else, I first asked the names of both. They told me the names. Big sister was Lily, and little sister was Luna.
"Luna, do you want to get out of this place?" I got to the main point. I didn't want to play around. When I said that, Luna was surprised. She never thought that she could leave this place. Luna nodded her head.
"I can make you leave this place, but you have to follow my orders," I added. When I completed my sentence, Luna replied, "Okay," without even thinking twice. When she replied without even thinking, I started to doubt her because Luna from the novel would never do something without thinking. She is smart, she must be plotting something else.
"I should warn you, if you try to kill me after we leave this place, you will never be able to fulfil your wish," I said as I looked at her face. When I mentioned killing me, her face twitched a little, confirming my prediction that she was thinking about it.
When Lily asked about our wish, Luna replied, "Lily, can you please stop talking for a while? I am trying to convince him to be your friend." Then she paused and looked at my face, a happy expression on her face, even tears of joy in the corner of her eye. She asked, "Can you really grant my wish?"
"Of course, but after my work is done," I replied, causing her expression to become even happier. She had never thought that she could achieve her wish.
"If you lied about anything, I will kill you here and now," she warned, thinking that I might be lying. But I was certain that I could kill her, with her cooperation.
"No, why would I lie about something so sensitive?" I replied calmly, feeling safe that she would never kill me or let me die before I granted her wish. I thought, 'I should ask her about her thoughts on world destruction, to confirm that we were on the same page'.
"I will destroy most of this world. Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, and she replied instantly, without even thinking. "No, do whatever you want to do with this world," she said. She didn't mind even if I destroyed the whole world. She would be happy to see the Truis's world being destroyed.
Then she asked me questions about how I was going to free her and grant her wish. I explained my ability. I spent time with her. Sometimes Lily said something childish, causing both of us to laugh. After some random talks, my leg started to hurt because I was standing for a while.
I sat on the ground, and Lily followed me and sat beside me. She was very happy to have her first friend, but I didn't feel any particular excitement as I had to find a solution to control her. Lily is very unpredictable, and she can be very dangerous because she is as strong as supreme beings.
As I was thinking about finding a solution, I looked at Luna and Lily. Lily was blabbering about something, but I wasn't even listening to her. I just nodded my head from time to time. Luna, who understood my predicament, said, "I can control her in a month or so," causing me to pause my thoughts.
'Yes, how can I forget that Luna is the one who will control her in the future,' I thought as I heard what Luna said. I can relax now; Luna will take care of everything in the next month or so.
...
As time passed, the three of us became close to each other since we didn't have anyone else to talk to. Lily became my best friend, and although she has a mentality of kid, I didn't mind being friend with her because she had no bad intentions. However, I didn't let my guard down with Luna, as she was smart and knew how to use people.
As time went on, I also made progress with my ability, with Luna's help. She has a good command of her ability, which was also related to energy. She gave me some pointers that helped me to deepen my understanding of my own ability. Although I didn't make any major breakthroughs, the insights I gained were valuable.
Luna also made great progress and had full control over her body. Now, she was in front, and Lily was in the back seat. Luna controlled her body while Lily could simply express her thoughts to Luna. They also started communicating with each other inside their minds instead of speaking out loud.
"It's time to go," I thought as I looked at Luna from a distance. I stood two meters away from her, as she wanted to destroy the forest before leaving. Although it had been her home for an unknown amount of time, it was also her nightmare.
Luna lifted her hand and waved gently, but when she did so, all the trees in the area were swept away. In an instant, the Forbidden Forest became a wasteland, and no trees could be seen. I had told her not to use her full power, but I could tell that she hadn't used it all. Her display of power caused sweat to trickle down my forehead. Seeing the power of supreme beings, I understood why they were considered supreme.
Luna walked toward me and smiled. This time, her smile looked lovely, unlike her previous one. I smiled back and began walking toward the exit of the Forbidden Forest
...
When we stood in front of the wall that Trius had created for Luna, I lifted my hands, and the dark energy enveloped both me and Luna, creating a sense of doom. I moved, and Luna followed me, with a nervous expression on her face as she still doubted my ability to exit this place. I held her hand to remove her nervousness because I wanted to gain her trust and show her that I wasn't controlling her. When I held her hand, she looked at me with a grateful expression. 'This must be the first time someone has supported her. Good, good' I thought.
As we walked past the wall, Luna's nervousness turned into excitement as she was freed from the walls that had imprisoned her for an unknown period of time.
Finally, we began to walk toward the exit of the forest, where a coachman came to pick us up.
