Ammit and I pass the trial's together. I asked if she can go back in my tummy. Judging by the way she shook her head she can, but don't want to, so I'm not forcing her. I just smile and pat her head. Not wanting to traumatize her. But later I stop and tell her.
"If it gets too dangerous, I want you to hide in there only until the danger is gone."
She can agree to that. We happily conquer this place that seems disproportionate to the size of the castle.
She just glues herself to my shoulder's, her hair wrapping around her, and me. I can feel the increase in energy. Finally, my mind starts to be less blurry.
She can eat anything edible or more like biological. And I can feel the sweet taste in my mouth when she does. This could be very addictive. I stop again and tell her some thing's or self rule about eating.
"First eating is fine but the destruction can't exceed the creation. Like now we eat everything here it's fine but we can only come back after a lot of year's. Otherwise no more food."
"Two don't eat good people, family, friend's and innocent. If you find bad criminals it's fine. Otherwise no more fun and after a while no more food."
That is pretty much all I care about so this is the rules. I actually don't care what she eats as long as she is happy. She doesn't understand much but remember the word's. It's enough for me to smile. I doubt her mother or father, whatever that was, knew of care about any rules. It was not even intelligent enough to avoid the beam Mind sent.
We eat a lot of different things just to test. Most of the vegetation gives vitality in small amount. Meat give raw energy.
We tried mineral's but it really taste like rocks or metal. So far only organic matter fit our palette, but we could technically eat rock, it's just useless. Also when Ammit is not in my stomach my digestive ability is very poor. I would digest in 30 day's what she can in one meal.
So far, she can eat something that contain little less energy than me. Which is a lot. We can't check it now, but she can probably swallow a dear whole.
This place is like a dimension, or at least space is bent. Every time we pass a door we enter a new one. I'm still regaining my power so we take it slower and slower. The puzzles become more complex, and my mood becomes more sour. I'm not in the best state of mind for solving puzzles right now. I shout.
"Whoever is playing with me, got five seconds to let us out of here or we will eat the whole place. I just woke up and it's useless to test me now."
No answer. So I tell Ammit to to start trying to eat the gate threshold. I could feel something from this place like space magic or something.
??? -"Ok ok you're no fun.. Just pass the next room and you'll clear the dungeon."
Said a small voice.
(I'm not here to play dam fuck)
We enter the next door. What greet us is a stupid gundam golem. Right now I got no power. Except being able to move fast and think fast to avoid all he throw at me, I can't beat that thing.
"If you don't want to loose that thing, you better stop that."
???-"fufufu Try it if you can. this this is the best of the low grade warrior class. Beside I prepare this for you and been waiting to do this for a while giggle. It's made of a unique material gathered by the fairies."
"I SAID! I'M NOT IN THE MOOD!"
There is a slight glow in my eyes when I say this.
A ball of light appear in front of both our mouths and vacuum the hunk of precious metals. The thing didn't even have the time to do the classic power up before we rip it in pieces and swallow it.
-BBUURRRRRPPP!!!-
"Owch! my tummy hurt."
Ammit-"papa. Hurt."
Well... I did not hold back there and the thing scraped a bit on its way in. One thing I made clear to her is what hurt and feel good, empathy and what not. That is when she start talking albeit only word's. And I was so happy when she said papa. She mine and a cosmic monster's daughter hahaha.
"Sorry Ammit, I got I little angry there come in my belly for a while you'll feel better after."
I open my mouth and the little girl dive in hehehe. Of course I hold a tear back, cause having black goo running in your throat and nose is not so pleasant.
(I have to tell her not to use the nose.)
At least I feel much better now. Having a ball of heavy metal in my stomach was quite the experience. I can't break down stuff like her, it just get compressed in there.
"Ouch.. She's moving in there."
She is actually expanding my stomach space.
I feel her making her way inside my body and start dumping in there. Which is weird she never pooped or excreted for all I know.
I realize She is actually coating some of my bones in these material's. My calf's and forearms get coated. I ask her to make some retractable claws in between my toes and knuckles. I tried a katana I came out of my hand, but I feel there is not much metal left in me. So I rather use the claws. When we get more stuff and become proficient, she will be able to create! From a being of hunger and destruction, it's quite good!
The material came out lustrous obsidian black. It seems tougher and heavier then when it was in his last form. She literally fuses it on a cellular level and she still a baby Amazing!! I need a bit more of this thing it's quite good. I can cut through rock like butter.
I spit Ammit back out.
"Thank you Ammit! This is amazing now I have a weapon!"
Shy hehe.
I pat her then, I pick her back up on my shoulder's and now it's time to meet this maker hehehe.
We enter a Large room that to me look like a throne room and walk like 5 min to get to the end. Yeah, It's a throne room, with a giant throne and a little fairy lying down on it.
She is not even a foot tall, blond and emerald eyes just like Tenka, which suited my taste very much. Very cute little thing.
After a bit of awkward silence, I speak first.
"Hello, I'm Sam this is Ammit. Elnora sent me here, ask me to give you this and said you had a task for me?"
Elnora-"Arianna dear, please cooperate with my son he will help you."
I realize the pot I was holding is a piece of Elnora herself. Or at least something connected to her. My face is burning in shame when I realize her and Red are probably watching from the start.
"Elnora!"
I look at her red faced, but before I can scold her.
Arianna-Waaaaaaaaa. sniff Waaaaaaaaaa sniveling-
Arianna-"wh...wh.. why does your son have to destroy everything I love waaaaa"
She wails and beat the cushion under her. Not even dust arise, if there was any. I contain my stupid laughter and say.
"Cough... Look I'm sorry bout Cheating, but like I said I can't even use most of my power right now and my mood was bad so I apologize to you."
Arianna glares at me. The power she exudes make me shrivel. Ammit dive in my mouth.
Elnora-"Emm. There was something I wanted her to tell you herself. I didn't want to offend my friend but..."-
Arianna-"You killed my sister!"-
My eyeballs almost drop out of their sockets. I point at my chest.
"Me? How? When?"
Elnora-"Now, now, Ari! I told it's not his fault!"
Arianna-"You told me that, But all I my brain process, is that sis left with you and never came back. You were using our toy to look at your boy with her. AND SHE NEVER CAME BACK!"
-WAAAAAAAA-
The whole place shakes. I shout.
"Please listen... I'm sorry this happened to your sis. I promise to find her for you. This should be your task right?"
She lowers her wailing to sniffling. Dry her mini crystalline tear's. After pondering for a bit, she says.
Arianna-" N.... no there is an other thing I need from you first."
The wall to my left open up to a large tapestry. It depicts a story and the more you look closely the more detail's you see for a specific time.
My curiosity gets the better of me. With no power in me like a dry well, I still want to look with power perception. I force myself a bit. After a sec of stomach burn cause of Ammit protest, "sorry Ammit", I manage to touch the thing with my aura.
The strand I touched was related to a bird it seems.
I see his entire life from birth to death in 1st person view. Lucky my thought are still my own, or I would be a bird when a wake up XD.
A second life comes but before I see anything, I'm back in my body, sweaty like hell.
If Ammit was not there, I would have puked. It was disgusting.
Arianna-"Giggle Curious are we. Be careful not to lose your mind."
I suppress my huge scoff and gently say.
"You say that now, but I could have died just now. If I wasn't in a weakened state I don't know how many lives I would have lived."
Arianna-"Stop crying big baby. MmmLlll"
She pull her tong out.
(She's the cry baby... breath and remember what Elnora said.)
-giggles-X10
Ari's cheeks redden a bit, after the giggles from the entrance before and continue her speech.
Arianna-"This is the power of my domain. It relates to destiny. This is the past which shape the future. The toy..."
Elnora cut in.-"Please Don't let him think a legacy treasure is a toy."
Ari-"Yes the Sword Of Destiny is the to...cough.. tool passed from my ancestor's to affect the future. Of course there as a price to use it. For most people it would be useless. The only ones able to use it are my race."
"Are you sure? I get that it must be hard to know its purpose even if you have enough energy to use it, but still. does somebody else...."
-His worries are useless in the end. In a previous chapter Beno used the sword as a toothpick.-
Ari-"No no, the sword is a living thing. It won't let destiny be altered to destruction or construction, only equivalent exchange. Beside, to you it look like a needle."
(Why do I find Useless O.P. stuff. She said I evolved to fast...)
Ari-"This is the task I'm giving you, find the sword first, then find my sister. All this happened of you after all."
She says that while looking at the pot in my hand periodically.
"I have a Question"
(hehehe you think I'm gonna leave before I suck something out of you like intel and food at least...)
"What's the name of this world, is I a planet or something else?"
-Stomach grumbles-
Of course I asked Ammit to do it loud. She come out. look at me with puppy eyes and say.
Ammit-"Papa hungry."
I look at Arianna. She sigh and snap her finger's. We directly appear in a dinner hall with lot's of huge open window's. Outside there is millions of multicolored flower's.
Ari-"The fairies want to make you a meal to thank you for your entertainment before. The song's were good and they want more."
The small ball's of light from before come from the window's and one by one drop a pieces of pollen and nectar. Under Ammit ecstatic eye's, a big golden ball as big as her head is laid. On mine, it is smaller big enough to fit my mouthful. Still looking at the fairy light being reflected in her wide black and blue eyes makes me forget. Beside she needs it more than me.
I just pick mine say thank you and dump it in my mouth.
(It's soooo good! Like honey and flower's But super powered!)
I just realized I have a tear in the corner of my eye. Ammit is looking at me for a second then at her portion. The first time she hesitates to try some food! This is good, self control! She could taste it trough me and got the idea this is going to be the best thing in her life for now. She gulps.
"You're so good!! This is all for now, but one day, we will come back and get some more. this is made to be enjoy by our friends, to slowly savor it."
She take it and put it in her mouth slowly. then chew. She close her eye and hum with a smile. Once it is over tear's stream down her face.
Ammit-"Waaaaa"
She start crying, she don't know why.
I take her into my arm's and rub her back while mine get drenched.
"This is just the shock of having such positive feeling for the first time, like a high. Remember this Ammit these are not tear's because you are sad. They are tear's because you felt so good that now you know the pain the pain of not feeling good like this all the time. To feel emotions you need to adapt to their two faces. These are tear's of happiness. Don't be like your mother and destroy everything to feel more of it."
She fall asleep. This stuff was very good. It affect me at an emotional level to. Is it the fairies power?
After making a flute, I Improvise for a few hour's and fall asleep too.
