Chapter 38: The Morrigan
"Should I call you by the name that I once called you? The Morrigan." Baba Yaga stated as she looked at Adrian with seriousness.
"Eh…that was such a cringey name that the humans called me. You were one of the few that I liked at that time which is why I told you my real name back then." Adrian replied.
"Hadrianna Eadrom Nodense. A name that only a few people have heard but should fear if they came to know the name bearer. The Great Queen, The Phantom Queen or Earth Goddess Sovereign. The goddess that is said to have three names and three dominions.
The Morrigan a Celtic goddess associated with war and battle, as well as the sovereignty of the land, and rightful kingship. If anyone actually knew the real identity of the goddess as the Child of Gaia, then would they actually believe it? The only god to have the miracle of reincarnation." Baba Yaga recounted what she knows about one of Adrian's reincarnation but the person in question is red all over.
"Stop…You are making me blush. To actually recount my embarrassing past. Those were dark times that I wanted to forget. I was so bored at that era that I actually decided to mess a lot with this world a little. I did do it for fun, but it became such a serious chore that I ended up getting worshipped." Adrian stated as he blushed.
"Uhuh. You act like you are embarrassed, but you are one of the most narcissistic people to ever exist." Baba Yaga stated but Adrian is not offended.
"You know me so well." Adrian stated with a big smile.
"So, are you actually getting used to your life now? Has the Great Mother contacted you?" Baba Yaga suddenly asked something serious.
"That is the first thing that I tried but she does not communicate with me. I could not even feel her presence even if I keep spreading my aura on the earth. She does not respond, and I could not even feel her presence lie when she is asleep." Adrian replied.
"I also tried communicating with the Great Mother like you have taught me, but she too is quiet like what you said. As if she is not present deep beneath the earth like she usually is." Baba Yaga added.
"If she is not contacted within a year, inform me immediately. If she really disappeared, then this world will be doomed as she is part of our last line of defense against the old gods." Adrian stated as he proceeded to get out of the kitchen.
"Wait!" Baba Yaga suddenly stated.
"What? Is there something that you need to talk about?" Adrian asked as he turned back.
"You still have two more pots to clean. Also, one of the plates still has a smudge. Do a better job. This is your only chore in this place while the others have to do other stuff." Baba Yaga stated as Adrian depressingly went back to scrub the plate and pots.

"Is he really going to kill us if word gets out about his existence?" Esme asked the others as they walked back towards their room.
"Did you not hear him? He said that others will already do that so why would he bother. That line is even more problematic than what you said. He basically told us that we will be targets if it gets known that we know his identity." Jihan added but he did not seem that bothered by it.
"Come to think of it, he always got targeted when people find out that he is an empath. Are empaths really that rare?" Dustan asked Whiz as he has data on almost every Deviant that they know.
"It is not that Empaths are rare but ones that are as strong has him are basically non-existent. Even the data base only show empaths that masquerade as fraud fortune tellers to get quick buck.
They can only fell the emotion of their targets by tactile contact. Even I am shocked that Adrian could know of what we are feeling just by looking at us. Even I find that weird and you guys keep telling me that I am weird one." Whiz stated.
"Also, do empaths hate crowded areas?" Dustan asked Jihan and Whiz.
"From my understanding and what I have been told, they hate crowded places because of the chaotic slur of emotions assaulting their senses. One empath that I know of told me that the feeling would be like being in a noisy crowded area while you are burning with fever.
I could almost imagine that situation and even I feel sick just by thinking of it. That empath that I know can only determine another person's emotions by being in close proximity. What would an empath feel if they were as powerful as Adrian?" Jihan answered from what he knows.
"In the database, empaths usually like to live in the countryside as they feel more stable there. It seems that even the energy of their surroundings affects them which is why they usually become hippies." Whiz answered from what he gathered and read on the database.
"If what both of you said is true then that explains why he suddenly fainted when we got to a place with crowded people." Dustan stated.
"I am more interested in how he reads minds." Esme commented.
"Oh! Are you actually warming up to the guy?" Jihan teased as he knows that Esme did not like his first encounter with Adrian.
"I still do not like him, but I have to keep things professional. I could get my revenge tomorrow when training finally starts. I bet he does not know how to fight since he relies a lot on his psychic abilities." Esme stated as she entered her room.
"Why do I get the feeling that she will get floored tomorrow?" Jihan commented.
"She always like to talk big, but she has been training with us for about two years now. Anyways, goodnight guys." Whiz stated.
