Chapitre 8: The Chosen one (Part 2)
"I couldn't believe it. You helped me. For that rate, I never imagine I'm gonna stay alive. Could you do CPR*? Never expected that." Eterna talked with a mouth full of food. Eterna and the cult leader moved to grab some bite and lodging for Eterna. They went to an inn. A different inn than before, of course.
"Just eat your food first. But, what is CPR? There's no knowledge like that in this world." The cult leader was confused as he scratched his white hair.
"Don't act like you are an old person who knows everything." Eterna banged the table very hard. All the food was scattered on the floor. All the eyes in the room went to their table. But both of them ignored it. Then, Eterna frowned as her face moved closer to the cult leader.
"But, I do. My blessing is knowledge. Before you continue to act like that, I'm Noxus Alexandria. I am a leader of a cult. You can't do that to me." Noxus increased his tone.
Noxus Alexandria wasn't that old. Though he was appointed by a leader. It wasn't decided by age but by his ability which was knowledge. He was around the same age as Eterna. That was why Eterna acted in such a way.
"Okay, okay. No need to be acting up.Hmmm... Are you by any chance magician? It makes sense if you help me."
Eterna backed off as she folded her hand while looking at the red eyes man.
"There were discrepancies between us, cult and magician. We get our power from God and them sinner from a spirit or anti-thesis of God itself, Demon." Noxus emphasized the last part and his index hand moved up and down for few times on the tables.
"Just that? So what in terms of powers? Aren't you God worshippers weaker? I didn't think you guys showed some power earlier." Eterna pouted while putting her head on top of her hands.
"No, Different from a magician who can cast amount of spells. We, who believe in God, are only strengthened by one power. In my case, Endless knowledge. So, a believer made or joined a cult or religion to work together. But, there is a rare occasion where a person has more blessing powers at one body like the king." Noxus explained it in such a fast pace and one breath.
"Wait, you differentiate cults and religions? Why?" Finally, Eterna was interested in the topic. She slid the remained glass and plates to the floor as she sat closer to Noxus.
"Ah... It is because, in Aerila, 4 main religions rule each land. Aimdal, Sula, Bleicia, and Astera, The countries were named after the ruling religion's God or Goddess. Outside of that, they consider it a cult. We could operate such a cult here, Sula. But others just hated our existence." Noxus explained it carefully.
Aerila was what they called earth in this world. It was separated into 6 regions. 4 ruled by religions and placed on the right side. While on the left, there was magic land called Ursa. Also, the last land was a free zone called the summit region, and It was placed in the middle of the map. 4 theocracy countries weren't getting along well while having the same thread, Ursa. But each party meets at the summit region every 5 years for peace discussions.
"And the thing that distinguishes you from others is the mark? The one you use to find Thia?" Eterna put her left ear closer with one hand on the side of it, indicating she was all ear.
"Indeed, We have it on our neck. Quite visible places. In fact, You are also one of us," Noxus was showing her neck while pointing at it.
"Me? But I didn't see any mark?" Eterna tried to look at her own neck. She struggled as her eyes almost pooped out from their place.
*Shrrk* Noxus fixed his collar to cover the mark. He then looked around. But, he saw no threat and decided to continue the conversations.
"I used the stranger method with the help of Goddess Yoko. I won't go into detail, but I assume it's inside you." Noxus clenched his fist on the chin as he tried to point to Eterna's body.
"What? The mark? You do it without my consent?" Eterna punched the table with both hands as the anchor for her to stand up. After getting beaten that much, the table surrendered its life. The table broke. Every eye looked back in their directions. While Noxus almost fall since he put his elbow on the table.
"Uh-oh... And you died?" Noxus stared into Eterna's eyes as he successfully balanced himself on the chair. With an angry face, Eterna almost punched Noxus but controlled her anger. She then sat back on the chair. She folded her hand in front of her chest in a crossed-leg position.
"Meh, so what is my power?" She tilted her head menacingly.
"Idk, you find out by yourself. But you will be safe to travel to many places since you don't have a mark." Noxus answered it with a bored face, a sign he was tired of answering questions.
"You act like I need to leave here. Why?" Eterna kept acting menacingly. The difference now, she glared at Noxus.
"Because you hated by Yoko Aiztal members. Some members thought that you were the reason for Thia's death. Also, there was a rumor that you killed her, which is not true. The cut on Thia's head was too clean as if cut with... magic," Noxus explained the reasons and made Eterna shocked.
"So, Thia's dea-" Before she finished her word, Noxus stood up as he looked at Eterna.
"No more questions because I am tired. Let's pay for the meal. I will get you a room as well," Noxus exclaimed as Eterna followed behind him.
"How much for the foo-" Noxus couldn't speak well as Eterna talked louder.
"Can you hand me the room key first?" Eterna stepped forward as she outstretched her hands on the table.
"Sure, here we go. Second room near the stair." The innkeeper said as she pointed to the stair, implying that the room was on the second floor. Eterna then ran as fast as she could.
"Arghhh...That woman. How much then?" Noxus looked back to the innkeeper as he reached for the pocket.
"Yes, 1 gold, please." The innkeeper answered with a soothing voice.
"Okay, Here we- wait... 1 gold? Usually, it's around 1 silver. Don't scam me. M-my father is the knight here," That was obviously a lie. But, he for sure was shocked by the price.
"Yeah, the price for the mess you created, also the table." The innkeeper simply answered as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Eterna!!!"
