Chapter 8 - A rollercoaster of emotions

 The sound of the carriage, in a part at the back, was heard, they were heading towards Asteria, the two Morrigans, and Goddess were silent, the rocking of the carriage seemed only to take them from side to side in a dance of simple movements, like dolls on shelves, swaying with the stones and uneven parts of the terrain.

  "Do you intend to accept the knights' proposal, Morrigan?" Goddess asked anxiously, looking at him seriously, he then seemed to scratch his chin intrigued by that question, "Yes, maybe I'll accept, I've been thinking about it since we left the house," he replied with a calm look, seemed to be deciding, she crossed her arms and closed her eyes, saying "So this is goodbye?" she asked in advance, evidently nervous, "No, I have a condition," he replied excitedly, looking towards the front, where the opening of the carriage allowed to see the path to the city, approaching again.

 She then somewhat saddened, seemed to say "Don't you think you're doing too much for someone you don't know?". She asked, placing both hands on the part of the bench where she was sitting, behind her own body. "What do you mean? You're the only person I know now, Goddess, we reincarnated together, and you still think this way?" He then frustratedly replied to her while she somewhat impressed with such a response continued, both entering into a tone of discussion about to start "It's just not normal, why can't you just act like a normal person? You just reincarnated and you're doing everything for everyone... Don't you think of yourself?"

 He then looked up, pursing his lips a bit disappointed, "When I was alive in the other world, I felt so ordinary, so unimpressive, you know how hard it is for a person from that world to be well seen? To have money, to have high dreams, all of that is very costly in that world... Still, I dreamed big, aimed high, tried everything I could... When I was on the verge of dying, I realized I hadn't done anything..." Saddened, he put one hand on his shoulders, hugging his own body.

  "Now, I finally feel good, and important, I can look at someone like you and try to be different..." He changed his posture to confident again, while pointing at her, and said, "When you start to dream, maybe you'll understand what I'm saying, until then, I'll help you in any way I can, I can't be that old with this body, so I still have plenty of life left... Enjoying it is important!" Convinced, he told her how he felt about her fellings. "You must have been a goddess for too long, most of the time, we're always busy, working, being victims of many things, and we forget to do something for ourselves... and believe it or not... I'm doing something for myself, and for you too!" the carriage stopped, and he suddenly was thrown to the side, hitting his back against the front part of the carriage.

 "We've arrived, Zi'o," said one of the knights on the horse reins. The boy then descended calmly, laughing at his fall, while Goddess seemed still very rigid from the conversation they had just had, she was being childish in her head, was she acting too emotional? Several insecure thoughts passed through the goddess's mind in some way, she liked that feeling, having something to discuss with someone, problems, was something that personally, as a goddess, she hadn't felt in many years.

 "The address you'll need to find us is on Edelgard Street, you'll speak to Commander Senmaru, he'll tell you what to do, tell him you're Morrigan Zi'o, who received the invitation from the lords of Leomurd, he'll know," said the blue-haired knight, while Morrigan asked, before they left on horseback again, "What's your name?" the blue-haired knight replied, pulling the reins on the horse "Cedric Fontaine, if everything goes well, we'll work together, Zi'o-san!" He said, winking at the boy, and the horses then left, and Goddess commented "Do you think he finds you attractive?" she said trying to hook Zi'o, who calmly replied "He's handsome!" confidently he responded making Goddess feel confused, "Do you like that kind of thing...?" she asked, eyebrows raised "I'm open to many things, but at the moment, my top priority is understanding who I am in this world, and helping you," he replied cleverly as they walked towards Delial's chapel...
