331 SLEEPING BEAUTY 2

If that is their birthplace, then why couldn't she remember it?

Why is there a need to alter it?

Yes, that is the conclusion that she had arrived at. 

Someone or something had tried to alter the memory of the adventurers. And then they are someone that tried to restore it.

In her memory, there is no such thing as that people could revive. But in the memory of the native of this world, the adventurers could always revive themselves in the past.

When this fact was known around a year ago, suddenly the memory that they could revive unlocked 

The adventurers remember that some of them died but they don't remember how they died and how they revived. 

There is a flaw in this memory altering

for some reason, not all the memory and traces of the past is altered. Once in a while, Ariana would remember some terms that did not exist in this world

She sighed as she shakes her head. Then she looks again at that woman appearing to sleep peacefully on top of the large bed

That woman is not sleeping. She seems to be in a state of unconsciousness. 

And Arianna knows her name. That woman is Amanda. And this Amanda found her amidst the people and grab her name in panic and called her Jessica.

That is how they first meet in the Purgatory.

Jessica Atwood. That is what Amanda says her real name is

Amanda then said she knew the truth of the world. 

At that time, Arianna thought that this Amanda woman is a crazy woman.

But the moment she said that, time stopped and space bends around them and Amanda look at the sky full of defiance.

At that time, Arianna knew that this woman is not simply crazy because a second later she was struck by lightning. 

The force of that lightning would have destroy the entire Purgatory if not for the barriers that surrounded Amanda.

But Amanda did not die. 

And then the sky break opens and there was an eye looking at Amanda. 

Amanda was scorched but she did not die immediately as there is some kind of magic that seemed to protect her from dying completely. 

That powerful force should have not only scorched Amanda body but it should have turn it into dust.

But Amanda body seems to be able to bear that divine power as there is an aura that protect her. 

Arianna then saw one of the most miraculous sight. She saw a translucent illusory image of Amanda coming out from the body

Ariana then understood that was the soul of Ariana coming up toward that eye in the sky. 

Since Ariana had tangle a few times with the Olympians Gods, she knew how powerful their aura is. 

But this eye that appear in the sky, this one eye that look toward the scorched body of Amanda seems to emanate power that not only seem limitless but all powerful

At that time, Ariana finally believes that Amanda, that woman truly knows the secret of the world. 

And for some reason seeing Amanda soul flying to the sky, it fills her heart with such sorrow and sadness that she herself could not understand and explain.

It was then that another thing happened. 

A finger appears. 

Like the eye it also possesses limitless power. 

It seems that the eye wanted to hurl more lightning toward Amanda but that finger made a slashing motion and the sky was split into two. It was like the eye was split into a different dimension.

One side was the clear sky and the other is sky that seems to be cracking.

The cracking seems to be the attempt of the eye trying to break through from that dimension. The thunder and lightning that is about to come down and truly end Amanda stop. 

No, it is more accurate to say it was sealed by that finger.

Arianna had never felt so helpless before. She could only watch but she could not do anything. 

Since the appearance of the eye in the sky, her body could not move like there is some kind of force that binds her.

The finger then come down from the heavens. 

And at that time Arianna could see on the opening of the sky, a Goddess of unparalleled beauty and majesty. 

She had countless of wings crafted from light, her hair seems to be the stars that dotted the night skies and her eyes is like a cosmos is inside it, seeing through everything, and for some weird reason, Arianna believes that Goddess smile at her. 

And it is not like a smile a powerful being give you which is always had a hint of mischievousness, it is a smile that of someone who knows you give you.

She felt the face to be very familiar and the moment she thought like that she could once again move.

The finger breaks through the darkness and the chaotic energy of the thunder and lightning and reached down to touch Amanda forehead.

The moment that finger lays its touch upon Amanda body, Amanda body started regenerating itself in the speed of light. 

Black scorched dry skin falls off from her body and replaced with flawless skin and her life force return but once the finger left, Amanda fall to the ground, unconscious.

Ariana run toward Amanda trying to support her when that finger went to her next. But unlike the thunderbolt, she did not feel like the finger is trying to harm him.

Instead, she felt that the finger is very welcoming. 

She was not tied by anything but she did not try to move. The finger reached her forehead and her mind was filled with the information about the Three Divinities, the Three Highest Seat of the Primordial Heavens

In her mind she saw the three lights that covered the whole Universe. These three Divine Being sat and reside in the Divine All Heaven, realm where it could contain the holy power of these three beings

There is the First Lord of heaven, the First Divinity, Divinity of All Beginning residing in the Heaven of All Beginning 

Then there is the Second Lord of Heaven, The Second Divinity, the Divinity of All Destruction and Ending who resides inside the Heaven of Limitless Wisdom

And there is the Third which is called the Third Lady of Heaven, the Third Divinity, the Divinity of all Creation and Life who resides in Pure Virtues Paradise.

When she tried to look closer, she felt her eye sis burning and in flames. The moment felt like she was in that memory for thousands of years.

Then the finger dissipates from her view. The sky emerges back into one and that eye in the sky closed itself as the void in the sky also disappeared.

Time moves again

when time move normally what people saw was that Amanda fall unconscious and they did not know anything about a finger coming down from the Heavens or an eye that opened up in the sky.

She leads the adventurers that she knows and trusted to go out of the Purgatory and while other people fall from the sky she and this woman seems to be bonded by some strange fate and destiny. 

They both fell at the same place. But she was still unconscious.

Yes, she brought Amanda with her by strapping her on her back while traversing the Purgatory to return back to the Vilajeri Continent. 

With all the weird occurrence that happens and the feeling that she felt for this woman, Arianna believes that she and this woman seems to have some relationship in Western Heaven

She then travels incognito through the village side and return to the Church while hiding the existence of this woman while at the same time protecting the Pope position and kill those who were rebellious.

The night she brought back Amanda to her residence, the night was stormy and raining. She fears that the thunder and lightning would once again herald the eye in the sky.

It is also the night when the faction of the Antipope tries to stage a coup of power.

That night became a tragic night for the faction of the Antipope. 

After that tragic event, she returns back to her residence and rarely leave her compound unless there is a task for the church she need to accomplish.

There is a few reason why she hides her. 

The first reason was that she fears that one of the Three Divinities would send another thunderbolt to smite this woman. 

The second reason is because this woman seems to know the truth of the world.

And the truth she knows must be something shocking considering how even a one of the Divinity tries to silence her by sending forces of nature to claim her life.

The more it is like this, the more she believes in that woman claim that she knows the truth of the world.

She sighed a bit. 

She had send all kinds of healers and physician to look at her in her residence but none could pinpoint what is wrong with her. 

Most of the healer that come to survey this woman all said that he is merely sleeping. 

But for some reason she could not wake up.

She even sent some mages and their answer was that there is some kind of magic that prevent her from waking up. 

But at the same time that magic protects her. She did not need to eat, did not need to drink and all normal things that humans should do and must do seems to be something that is an exception for her.

Arianna sighed. She knows that she is somehow connected with this woman. 

And the name Jessica seems to resonate with her. Arianna believes that maybe in Western Heaven, her name is Jessica.

Sleeping like that she looks like a sleeping…what is the term that she is looking for, she thought to herself.

'A Sleeping beauty' she muttered.
