Kapitel 91: There is no way out of hell 3

I might also be wrong about the time and that part of the history, but this makes more sense to me, because why should Raeliana be inside a vision when it is not related to her at all? And if this is taking place far in the past when there has been a rapha well known by everyone, then it is logical to believe that I will have the opportunity to see it in person.

There are so many weird things going on right now, I can't take it all at once. After all, everything is happening so fast and some of it doesn't make any sense to me. First, Raeliana has a world of her own with a creature inside of it that gives me chills every time I remember it. And that thingy actually controls that place as he pleases, but doesn't know a way out of it and also is not trying to corporate with Raeliana for a solution. And the second thing is that I got abducted like a defenseless little girl by a random ass person at night when I was on my way to ask again for Raeliana's whereabouts.

"Excuse me, sir, have you seen a young girl that looks exactly like me around here?"

"No, but wow. If she looks like you I might as well pull some strings and find her for you at a considerable price."

'Right now, I wish I didn't understand this language, but at least I briefly took my answer.'

Since I was wandering around at night, people tend to be more aggressive and forceful with a woman who disagrees and tries to act smart in this kind of situation, and it is worse when they are under the influence of alcohol. However, I had the power to finish the drunk man right there if it wasn't for the other guy who stopped me.

"Michaela, what are you doing here alone? Come on let's go home."

"Huh. Who are you, and where do you think you are taking her?"

The drunk man said and tried to punch the other man. But before he did that, he grabbed my hand and dodged the punch and we both saw how the man tripped and fell on his face.

"I am sorry for that, but I have to go now."

As he apologized to the now unconscious man, I was trying to release my hand but he wouldn't let go, then something came to my mind. 'I think I have seen Raeliana in this situation too…she would mostly slap or punch the shit out of someone if they get on her nerves. This man would have released me if he just wanted to help, but now I don't think that this was the reason.' He started to walk away and dragged me along with him, I also was pulling his hand, which looked more like I was actually throwing a tantrum to my mother at a park for not buying me what I want, with my non-existent strength on my arms.

"Hey, you. Where do you think you are taking me? Let go of my hand this instant!"

"I am sorry for my rudeness, but you should have thought about the others before running away from the village. I am doing this for you and them."

'Ugh. I have had enough of this. Whatever he is saying it is not my problem and I also have other things to do and I don't have time to waste.'

I stopped and he turned around to see what was wrong. When he did, I punched him with all force and… I heard my bones crack 'Oh god, I hurt so bad. Is his face made out of concrete or something? It feels like my hand just broke into pieces.' I was biting my lips and holding back my tears from the pain and embarrassment because I didn't expect that this body would be so weak.

He found that as an opportunity. He took me, tied me up, and put me in the back of a carriage where I have been staying for more than eight hours now. What irritates me the most is that I couldn't even use my powers to crush him down on the spot when I had the chance. Then what is the use of my eyes if I can't manipulate their body? They are just…useless then.

Moreover, Raeliana made that slap look so easy last time, but it was painful as hell.

"I hope she is fine. I don't have any idea how this vision world works, but I really wish she is all right."

That reminds me of what thing said. 'If she didn't experience a life-threatening event before coming here, this darkness will soon change form by itself and you will find her easily. However, although it has happened a lot in different situations, this is the first time she has a companion.'

This is the first time she has had a companion. That person is me, but that also means that she had to experience this by herself more than once. And if this place changes itself, then what would happen if she was in a life-threatening situation as he said? Can she actually turn it into power? That way she can increase her strength depending on how much darkness from inside of her she wants to unleash. Though that would also have an impact on that creature, he would have come out together with-…wait, now that I think about it, he never claimed to be prisoned here. Does that mean that he can go out? If I am right, then there is also another way, which is even riskier. That requires Raeliana to be in the middle of life and death. I can't let that happen!

"Sorry for tying you up and calling you by your given name your holiness, I will take any punishment for my rudeness. But first, let me remind you again that the people here need you more than you think, they look up to you. So please, from now on retain yourself from going out of the village."

So the change of my body into this girl was not actually accidental. The person I am supposed to be is a priestess, I think. But from the way I look at it, the people of this village are keeping this person for themselves, and the way he is referring to me is somehow informal, which gives me a tone of obligation.

"Can you tell me your name?"

"I am Guil, your holiness. I always help you out wherever you need me. And since Aid-… I mean your brother is absent."

I don't know who these people are, but I will try to dig as much information out of him as I can. However, it seems like he is close to the girl I am playing right now, so I have to be careful with what I say.

"I'm sorry, I must have forgotten your name due to your lack of self–awareness, but you also mentioned something about someone being absent right?"

"Please your holiness, don't tell him anything about what happened before, and that I almost called him by his name. You know he has quite a bad temper and isn't pleased when people talk behind his back."

"Don't worry, I won't say anything!" at least not before I find out more and secure a safe place for myself. Since I am in a tight spot where I don't know what's going on here, I have to try and gather as much knowledge about this place as I can. That can come in handy later when I start searching again for Raeliana.

The man named Guil came closer and whispered in my ear as if he was scared that someone else could hear him. There were only the two of us on our way to what I thought was a church, but it was actually I huge house compared to the ones I could see all around the village. If that made him feel safer, then I didn't have the right to say anything.

"Listen closely your holiness, your brother is acting really weird lately. He is making trips to others villages more often and when he comes back his personality gets even worse than before leaving. The other day, for example, he went into a rampage mead conversation with another villager for god knows what reason, and almost broke his neck because he was being rude to him."

So, to sum it up, this girl's brother is short-tempered, strong, and an adventurer. He likes to travel a lot but loses his mind when he returns to this village.

"Anything else?"

"Well, I am afraid that this is about all we have seen and heard so far."

Great, so this doesn't tell me anything about his relationship with his sister and how this is going to help me with my task.

Whatever, I am going to head out after I get rid of this guy first.

"Thank you so much Guil, I learned so much from you today. But, I am going inside my house now, so I would appreciate it if you could leave me alone to collect myself from that…"pleasant" ride I had to take today."

"Yes, of course, I apologize for my rudeness, your holiness. You must be shocked by what happened and the ride might have tired you as well. I hope you have a good rest. Goodnight your holiness!"

It is daytime now, but whatever, I wasn't going to sleep either way. The door doesn't have a lock, which is great for me, but are they not scared by the thought of someone breaking into their house and stilling something? This is a big place, a little smaller than a mansion, but it is still tidy.

'Guil said that Aidan was absent so I will not find any problem looking around for a little bit and sneak out when I have the chance.'

Wondering around and seeing how elegant and well-organized that place was, I started thinking how these people haven't gotten robbed yet without a locker. Probably because it is the priestess's house or because of her brother's personality. The way they have set their boundaries is well thought out, and even with so much poverty going around for the time, people here have some respect for this two.

My curiosity grew stronger as time went by and I climbed up the big stairs in front of the front door, where there was a hallway with one room on both sides. One was mine, the person I was inside the vision, and the other was her brother's. I didn't know which one was who's so I went to the room on the right.

It was…pink and flower all over the tea table, corners of the bed, and window, so I immediately guessed that it was hers. I closed the door and went to the left since I couldn't see anything special rather than a princess's aesthetic. And the other one was simple, but everything was super organized, the book was arranged neatly and in order and it felt more like a study than a bedroom.

'By what I heard, he didn't seem like someone who would close himself on his room and read but all of this shows otherwise.' There are books about botany, geography, literature, history, and also animals and human anatomy. 'He must read a lot in his free time.' Notes, blueprints, and a sketch with a full explanatory around weapons there were never mentioned before in the history book or found in our time, were torn to pieces and separately hidden inside per each book. I collected every book, scroll, and everything I could find and opened each of them hoping to find the pieces and connect them all together. Even though I could it find all, after piecing them together the result was more than I could ask for.

Upgrading an ordinary object into a full-functioning weapon with a press of a button. Changing its structure and form depending on the wielder. Not only that, but a fusion between mana and a weapon of choice to give it not only a strong power source but also efficacy in closer combat. He goes into full detail, about how to create it from scratch, how to make the changing process work both ways if you want to add a button, how much mana for different objects you should add, and on the question mark is the word "time".

"I am impressed, this guy is a genius. But, I am afraid that this doesn't look like just a work in progress. It is difficult to find all the parts to create something like these in the current day, but mana stones were found only three hundred years ago. So, it is nearly impossible for him to create this. And also think about something that hasn't still been found. …Weird! How did he think about all this? Hmmm, now that I think about it, I saw something written on the back of the papers I collected. Maybe there would be an answer for everything."

I carefully turned every single one at them, trying not to misplace any. At first, I thought that the missing pieces were going to be a problem, but as everything was coming together, the written text was completed in a small space in the middle of the whole blueprint. As I started reading it my heart dropped.

** This is not a playground, it is a part of my life. It is an execution. When they put us both in here, they don't want us to return. The secret is found in the name. CALL it! Don't be deceived by those who speak about morals and the one's good. They are all mannequins. All hailing and kissing her feet. If there is still hope, it lies beyond the veil. Hope in this void is as illusionary as the starlight. If they ever see ME lacking, it will be the end of her. So, I will choose to breathe my last here at the bottom of hell, unseen, unheard and uncontrolled. She will get her EXECUTION. And one of us IS going to get his FREEDOM. **

"Only some of the words are written in capital letters. If I put them all together it creates, CALL… ME…. EXECUTION… IS... FREEDOM? What does that suppose to mean?"
