Chereads / The Price of Divinity / Chapter 38 - Three-Fifth

Chapter 38 - Three-Fifth

Asher goes down the set of stairs illuminated by the small candles. He is still wondering where the pale man is. He remembers that the pale man said that they would probably meet if he decided to go inside the tower. None of the people Asher fought were pale; they were darker or similar in shade to him.

Asher left the tower; the bright sun made him happy, happy that everything was over. Asher's new goal is to liberate himself and he is concerned about what K. said about his future. 

Should I trust K.? I mean, is my destiny that bad? All I want to do is to be happy and liberate my country. What is my next challenge? Asher's body going on autopilot, going inside a random house and sitting down on their chair.

"Um, who are you?" A man looking at Asher in confusion.

"I am extremely sorry!" Asher runs out of the house he entered.

Asher decides to relax; he feels that his body is still damaged from the fight with Kenny and also about fighting part of himself that he needs to liberate; For some parts, Asher doesn't know what happened; he feels weighed down.

The rest of Asher's followers are celebrating and asking the now-freed people if they felt a surge of power to warn them about the revelation that K. will give them if they accept him.

Asher is lying down on a bed that was Kenny's bed, feeling weird, but he feels that there is something very wrong with him, feeling his mind become pure of hatred and wanting to kill everyone. He manages to calm down those emotions by concentrating on his old town.

Asher's entire body started to stabilize itself; the thorn crown, his hair color, and his pupil color all went back to normal. Asher falls asleep once again due to feeling such calmness enter his body.

Asher's dreams are cut short by the feeling of floating; he already knows this feeling is the same as the one where he experienced Kenny's torture; however, this time a huge brightness annoyed him enough that he decides to open his eyes.

Where am I? Why are there three stars? Something clicks inside Asher. Wait, that is the same blue star! Asher sees some of the missing colors, especially his color. Where is the golden color in the star? I see the dark purple, and the lavender colors, but the golden, white, and pink are nowhere to be found. Asher's mind starts to overthink. His eyes suddenly enlarged by the sudden color change of the bottom left side color from blue to blink golden. 

There it is. But why now? Is this K.s doing? No, he said it's the superior being doing it, but who is the superior being, and is this his realm? The bottom left side of the star stopped blinking, becoming the golden color that Asher saw.

Asher tried his best to wake up, but he couldn't; he tried to create something, but nothing appeared. Asher started to get anxious about his inability to do anything in this beautiful yet terrifying room.

In the blink of an eye, Asher saw a pink star in front of him. Asher was captivated by the beautiful small pink star looking so innocent Asher couldn't help himself to touch it.

Zap

AHH!!! Asher's body and mind feel as if they're being split by themselves. Asher's mind started to change its composition; all of the traits that made Asher a unique person were being stripped away and replaced by the complete opposite. 

Asher's body imploded on itself after Asher's mind was changed. 

His body started to reconstruct itself, Asher is no longer anymore. For each change the golden part of the star consumed him. Making the negative part of Note replace all the positive traits that made K. possible.

This new version opened its eyes, it has no memories, and all it wants is to cause some chaos in the most elegant way.

"Where am I?" The new version finds itself in a strange room, the walls are made of concrete, and a small candle illuminates this room, the thing most unique about this room are the bars in front of her room.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

"Leia, what are you doing!!" A voice starts screaming at someone.

Pow! Pow! Pow! 

"Leia, I said stop banging the bars!!" An angry figure arrives at the new version of Note.

"Who else! Is there anyone else that is named Leia!!" A woman with a blue outfit and many badges responds with satire.

"Is my name Leia?" 

"Did you hit your head? Of course, you are Leia. Damn, did Andrew hit you that hard when we finally caught you!" The woman looked visibly annoyed.

"I think you got the wrong person. I am not Leia. I am…" Nothing appeared in their mind.

"Leia please just rest, tomorrow you are going to be judged to see how you are going to pay for your crimes." The woman left.

Leia? That's a pretty name, but what is happening? What crimes did I do? I need to leave this place. I can't be here. It's annoying.

"Ahh!!" A sharp pain suddenly appeared in Leia's lower abdomen, a pain so sharp it rendered her unable to move. "What is this pain? I have never felt this bad." Leia fell on the floor.

On the floor she sees her beautiful red hair fall on her hand. "Huh? Why do I have such long hair? Why does this feel normal?" It all clicks for Leia. "How dumb am I? I am a woman if I am sure this is a period. But the body feels like I have been here already, but I have never experienced this before." Leia continues to twitch in pain.

"I need to leave her." Leia passes out from the pain.

You are sentenced to one hundred years in jail for your crimes against our organization.

Leia is just standing there getting judgmental looks from the people around her. She still doesn't know how she is in this place; all she remembers is that she was in pain, and now she is going to jail for one hundred years.

"What"
