Chapter 89: Origin story part 4- Lament of the God
The shadow hungrily devoured me. I could feel every fiber of my body was getting converted into something that shouldn't be existed in this world, but I didn't regret it.
As long as my loved ones are alive and she keeps her promise, I will be the sole sacrifice for her. Her appetite should be ended by my body.
Crunch*
The crunching sound of my bones and madness filled my mind. My eyelids were getting heavier as the light faded away with it. This might be my end, but I don't regret it at all. I have lived happily until this day. I made precious bonds and I had a giant family. Maybe, this was the blessing of the Gods.
My mind slowly slipped away as my eyes closed. This was my end and my beginning.
" Wake up, wake up!"
I heard a voice of a woman in my dream. It was the familiar voice of Sister Mary who used to call me every morning.
" Is this the afterlife?"
I said after opening my eyes. The familiar ceiling and bed greeted me with the familiar soup that I always used to eat. I grabbed the spoon and looked around myself with curiosity.
I found the familiar faces, sitting next to the door with worried expressions. The sisters and abbess were here with my friends. This wasn't bad after all. I could feel the warmth of the sunshine that was coming through the window.
" Am I dead?"
I asked while pinching myself. It hurt so badly because I had a powerful physique. The abbess caressed my head as she whispered.
" Thank God for your survival. You are alive thanks to his blessing, my child. I have thought I have lost you in that darkness, but the light protected you until the end."
She said, dripping tears from her old eyes. I could see her hands were trembling and her clothes were painted with dirt.
The words choked my throat as I couldn't say anything except hugging her. The sisters and my friends rushed to me as they also joined the hugging session. I felt alive more than at any moment in my life. I wasn't a cursed child. I was a blessed child.
A week had passed since the incident. I was sitting in the garden while looking at the sky with a deep look. Unlike before there was a single red mark on my arm.
" My beloved, are you still thinking about our first meeting?"
I heard her voice inside my head. She always chattered something useless every time like how good-looking I am or how bad are the gods. She even tried to convert me to the fallen.
" Just shut up. I am trying to focus here, pedophile."
I said, showing my disgust. I could feel her pouting since she was part of my body now and she was restricted by my willpower which she explains that it had to do something with God. Especially, those disgusting shadow was harassing my bottom at night. Moreover, she was smooching my face horrible last night.
I got a headache after thinking about her fetish. Perhaps that is the main reason why my personality was getting cold. Even my friends were complaining about my recent mood swings.
I gazed at the burning sun while thinking about my future.
Swoosh*
" What are you thinking about?"
Sera asked me while closing her face to mine. She was only one inch away from my face. Her bright eyes were locked with my eyes as she tried to gauge what I was hiding from her.
" This little wench!"
I heard Anelia's voice in my head. Obviously, she was jealous of her even though she had lived thousands of years. The shadows stretched towards her under her command, but I raised my finger and they retreated to where they belong. Although my control is still rough, I could influence her power.
" Are you okay? You look like you were distracted by something again."
Sera asked again, confirming her suspicion about my recent behavior. I silently gestured for her to lie down with me.
She smiled upon seeing my look as she lay down with me. I could smell the gentle fragrance that was coming from her. I felt calm.
