As Goddess of Love's words hung in the air, a dark essence seemed to suffocate our happiness. Raj's eyes widened in alarm as he asked, "But what,? What fate awaits us?" The Goddess's expression turned solemn, her voice laced with a hint of sorrow. "Raj, your time is running out. Your death is near, and Aysha, your lack of training will destroy the happiness you've found. You will relive the same painful experiences you've endured in every life."
My heart sank, fear creeping in like a thief in the night. Memories of past traumas resurfaced, and the thought of death's dark shadow looming over us made my eyes well up with tears. Anger flared within me, directed at the cruel fate that seemed determined to tear us apart.
But then, the Goddess's words took a gentle turn. "Fear not, Aysha. Your destiny has changed. The life you've experienced cannot be altered, but you have hope. You can still claim what you desire, but it requires strength. I will guide you on the path, but you must walk it alone. And as a gift, to entertain me with your life and also BECAUSE you have been chosen by him take this ." She handed Raj a small device and say . "This will save you in your darkest moments, but remember, when you use it, you will vanish from the universe for 6-8 years. You will be dead to everyone, except Aysha."
Raj's eyes locked onto mine, a mix of determination and fear swirling within them. I knew in that moment, our love would be tested .
The Goddess's words dripped with an ominous tone, "Be prepared, for the darkness that has entered your lives will not dissipate anytime soon. The next six years will be a living hell, but if you survive, you will emerge with the power to rival even gods ." Her gaze pierced through us, as if daring us to doubt her words. For a moment, we exchanged a relaxed glance, thinking we had heard enough. But then, she handed us two more gifts.
"First, this locator will reveal the life energy of you two each other , . Second, I have embedded a skill within you both, one that only works when used between loved ones." Her eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief. "You two are now very near at a level surpassing even me in this thing. Remember, this skill only works when used between those who share a deep love."
As she turned to me, a flicker of jealousy danced in her eyes. "Aysha, your special body has always been at a peak level in this skill , but now... you may even surpass me." I felt a shiver run down my spine as she continued, "The skill I embedded requires a treasure to unlock so indirectly it's treasure not skill, but let's focus on the first skill - Charm.
"Charm" is a unique skill that enhances your natural beauty, making you irresistibly attractive to others. It's a passive-active skill, meaning it works constantly, but can be amplified with intention and action. When used, Charm makes people see you in a new light, highlighting your best features and making them more susceptible to your influence.
However, it's essential to note that Charm has limitations. It may not be effective against individuals with exceptionally high soul power or strong spiritual foundations. Those with robust spiritual defenses may recognize the skill's influence and resist its effects. Additionally, Charm might not work on people who are deeply committed to their goals or values, as their focus and determination can override the skill's influence.
To illustrate, imagine Charm as a gentle breeze that can sway most people's perceptions. However, those with strong soul power or spiritual anchors are like sturdy trees that remain unshakeable, even in the face of a fierce storm. While Charm can still be useful in many situations, it's crucial to understand its limitations and not rely solely on this skill to achieve your goals.
As the Goddess continued, her words spilled out in a rush, barely giving us time to process.
"And when I think you're ready, I'll reveal more. But first, let me clarify that the skill I gifted wasn't mine to begin with. I don't particularly favor it, but it will serve its purpose. Moving on, my true blessing will unlock your full potential by granting you a new energy. This energy will harmonize with any other energy you encounter, making it easier to absorb and combine with your existing abilities."
Her gaze shifted to Raj, "This blessing is especially crucial for you, as you'll soon lose your cultivation in the impending incident and it will be very helpfull in that dark place to cultivate for you as a human. And Aysha, as you embark on your journey as a warrior and cultivator, this blessing will prove invaluable when you reach the second stage."
I felt a whirlwind of emotions: initial happiness, followed by shock, irritation, and frustration. The Goddess's abrupt manner left me breathless, barely allowing us a moment to respond. I bit back a retort, grateful she didn't ask for our input, or I would have unleashed a torrent of words in a split second. Her dismissive attitude ignited a spark within me,
Soon goddess started to leave without telling anything in to energy Just as we were reeling from the Goddess's abrupt departure, a sudden shift occurred, and another figure materialized before us. The newcomer was identical to the Goddess of Love, but a gentle voice soon revealed the truth.
"I apologize, Aysha and Raj for the confusion. This device, a recording of my words and a fake amount power , it was meant to distract or disorient powerful demons . Unfortunately, it malfunctioned and arrived here iand give you all gift in abrupt and bad behaviour . I am truly sorry for its rudeness in not allowing you to speak."
Our minds reeled in shock as the truth sank in - the being we had interacted with was merely a device, a clever imitation of the Goddess. The sudden revelation left us stunned, struggling to process the events that had transpired. A mix of emotions swirled within me: surprise, embarrassment, and a hint of relief. Thinking that goddess are not actually this abrupt
