MTLNOVEL Chapter 51: 51
"...."
she was right, he has to become stronger in order to be there for her
Avner followed her inside
" Is it just me or is she purposely trying to ignore me ? "
Deheeren was feeling offended but soon started following them inside
" Are you living all alone in this big church ? "
" Yes, I've been living all by myself for some time now "
" How so ? "
" Well ...there aren't a lot of people willing to come to this place, after all this place can be quite dangerous, you could even consider this area the heart of the demons. This church is constantly attacked by demons, it's understandable that people don't want to put themselves in danger like that "
" Aren't you lonely tho, all by yourself ? "
it was the emperor this time to ask a question
" Because I'm all alone ? "
" Well yes "
" You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely, loneliness doesn't necessarily come from being alone, I would rather spend my days in a lonely place but be at peace than be surrounded by people who would constantly try and destroy my peace….I've been lonely all my life, at some point you learn to find peace in this loneliness, the silence comforts your broken heart "
"...."
´This must be how Nephthys is feeling´
Avner couldn't help but find Nephthys in those words
´….´
Dheeran was feeling rather weird, he couldn't understand his own feelings right now but he knew something for sure this woman didn't have it easy either
" drink this "
the nun gave Avner something to drink
" What's that ? "
" Its medicine for your energy circle "
" huh ? "
Avner didn't exactly understand
" You need healing, because your mother stayed longer than intended some damages were made to your energy circle, you have a lot of power but your energy is all over the place, because its been blocked for such a long time it forgot how to function properly, take this medicine and it will guide your powers to find their own correct flow "
Avner looked at Dheeran and Dheeran shrugged his shoulders
he just took the medicine and the effect took place immediately, he felt a lot lighter, more powerful, everything just felt right everything was in the right place
" You also know medicine ? "
the emperor asked
" You learn a lot of things when you have this much time on your hands, you should try and make some time for yourself too, you've been working hard for the country but damages are also seen in your well being "
´ Oh wow so she does care about my well being, maybe it was all just inside my head ´
" Your face looks like it needs some rest "
´never mind ´
" It was nice seeing you again Avner but someone needs you right now, I shouldn't keep you from your journey, here give this to Nephthys "
the nun gave him a small bottle of medicine and looked at the emperor knowingly and he understood immediately what this medicine was for "
" What is this for ? "
" Nephthys will tell you herself, now go "
Avner was worried, why did Nephthys need this for
" Alright young men let's go "
Dheeran took him away but they didn't leave before thanking the nun first
" Thank you for your help, by the way what's your name ? "
" maybe next time emperor, now go "
"..."
the emperor remained into place but was pulled by Avner
" Come on let's go "
***
" This is where the string brought you ? "
they were at the next destination and the emperor couldn't help but become emotional because they were now at his old Dukedom where he lived before becoming an emperor
This meant this place meant something for her
***
" I never knew a place like this existed…."
Nephthys had just buried her brother and was now standing on a tall edge with the most beautiful view of the waves strongly hitting the stones making a beautiful and peaceful sound, the air was cleaner than ever, her main element was air but she never felt more connected to it than right now, she has always been followed by the stench of blood but for the first time it was fresh and clean, the sky was a beautiful blue after a rainy day
" What a beautiful day to die…."
she closed her eyes and let herself fall from the edge right into the heavy waves
***
" Dheeran stop acting like a kid, we need to go back "
" Oh come on, this is just the perfect weather to skip classes "
" Sigh….I'm getting 10 years older every time I am with you "
" That would explain a lot about your appearance buddy "
" You little…."
Dillon was about to hit him
" I surrender, I surrender "
but Dheeran was quick to give up and save himself
" Come on let's go "
" Fine…."
they were leaving till Dheeran stoped from his tracks
" What, what is it now ? "
" There is someone in the water "
" What ? "
Dillon also looked and he was right, there was someone in the water
" Oh shit, quick let's go "
They ran as fast as they could till their feets could touch the waves and from there they used their powers to pull her to the shore
" It's a kid "
" Do you think she is still alive ? "
" Does it look like she is alive ? "
" Well ...maybe it's not too late, do you know how to give her first aid ? "
" Not really…."
" Isn't your main element water, shouldn't you know how to help her ? "
" Well i'm sorry, I never tried pulling out water out of someone's lungs "
while they were focused arguing they didn't realize that she had opened her eyes
" Aren't you embarrassed walking around saying you are a water master "
" I never said that "
" Ahh….my head, do you have to talk this much ? "
" Aish. That scared me "
Nephthys finally stood up
" Kid are you alright ? "
" I was before you started talking "
" What a rude kid "
" How did you end up there ? "
" I was trying to kill myself "
" Why would you do that ? "
" Why would someone want to kill themselves you dumbass, she definitely didn't do it because she was happy "
Dilon couldn't help but remark
