"What did you do this time, Yosuke?" I mouthed.
"We need every help we can get, milady," Ryuu's voice echoed inside my mind.
"By killing me if your plan fails, is that it?"
"Listen, milady," it's Kurama. "Carter told us about Adonis and Aiden offering you to whoever-it-may-be again if they failed to seal Zeke back inside you at the night of the blood moon. Now there's a 60 percent chance that that will happen! Chaos is inside you and last descendant's curse is already encircling its soul, therefore, they will totally be having a hard time doing it and might lead to failure and death... your death, and we can't let that happen so we have to break you out in there by hook or by crook."
I grimaced and whispered.
"Don't you, guys, know that escaping this place is more than life-risking than them, sealing Zeke back inside me?"
"Don't you trust us?" Lee's voice echoed. "We will help even if it means to sacrifice our lives, milady. There are still 21 nights left before the blood moon and we only have two options to choose. If the gods still let you tame the last descendant, then there will still be a possibility for you to finish your task smoothly but if not, and the sealing will come on hand and fails, then we'll go on with the plan."
"Charlotte will tell you the whole plan later."
Yosuke's voice faded into nothingness leaving me nothing but a bunch of thoughts. I don't know about this but I think escaping before being offered to Cronus is better than doing nothing at all.
But... if they can't seal Zeke back to me, I might end up being the Discordia, Anthony told me I could be.
I ended up washing my face with both hands in so much frustration. Will everything be better if I just vanish?!
I was about to stand up and leave when a guy entered the canteen. I know him, he's a wind god—the one who brings winter to human kind who looks exactly like Kevin!
The cursed tamers went wild when he walked pass by them, smiling.
Ah—yeah! I forgot to tell you that aside from his perfect face, he also loves wearing clothes which was about to expose his whole goddamn upper body, same as Kevin.
Squeals went louder the moment he stopped in front of me and smiled. Okay then! He also got Kevin's charms.
"Greetings to you, milady." He beamed lifting my right hand and planted a kiss.
"That's smooth!" I snorted, stood up and walked pass by him.
I heard him chuckle and so I thought he won't chase after me, but then he did.
Okay! I'll give you one reason why.
It's because he likes me. Holy heck!
"Geez... Tabitha! Why are you still avoiding me?" He asked but I didn't give any shit to answer him and continued walking away.
I can still hear the squeals even from a distance.
I'm already at the empty hall when he pulled my arm so I was able to face him.
"WHAT?!" I hissed.
"Please listen first, my goodness! You made me sweat." He said, wiping the droplets of sweat forming on his forehead.
"If you aren't just one and a half of a dumbass, you could have just hovered in the air instead of running."
He smirked. "I'm touched by your concern!"
"Forget it! I still have a lot to think so please, I beg you from the bottom of my heart, leave me alone!" I groaned, pulling my arm back.
"You're planning to escape, aren't you?" He asked which took me aback. "I heard your plan from Charlotte and you know how much I care for your mother."
"So?" I cocked a brow.
"The gods had a meeting in the Spirit Realm last night regarding of what to do to you and the last descendant, which gladly, I overheard." He started.
"You see... he's been sealed inside a deep sleep by a sleep god, Jeremiah, to prevent him from escaping the other dimension. His power is anticipated to be as strong as the late god, Cronus, which might lead to another war."
"And you, Tabitha, is only the one capable of stopping him using Chaos' traits which was passed to you. Their plan is to seal Zeke and Lelith's power inside you before they let you tame the last descendant or else you, two, might just end up splitting the universe into half."
"You lost me," I muttered, staring into nothingness. "But... by sealing Lelith's power in me, does that mean she'll become a human?"
"She doesn't have a choice. Only Carter and herself bears the power of love and no mother will ever sacrifice her own child."
I bit my lip when twinge of guilt assailed me.
I still couldn't believe the truth I just discovered. All these times, I hated Lelith for abandoning me and I never saw the sacrifices she made for the sake of the many.
Why does she have to alter my memories? I have Chaos hatred inside me already, she just added the load to what I was feeling before. She could have just told me the truth.
"From the look of your face, you might be wondering why Lelith kept everything from you, right?"
I blinked when he placed a hand on my shoulder.
"You'll know the answers along the way," he smiled and I couldn't keep myself from wondering.
"What is your name again?" I asked and he grimaced in disbelief.
"I-it's Zachary."
