Chapter 1101 - Peach Tree IV

The peach tree where he and Sofia declare their oaths. Thinking about it again, at that time, it was really chunnibyou like of him to say such cringe words

But he was a lot younger. And a lot more naïve. Still, for most part, he had done what he had said that he will do

If he wanted to raise hell, he sure does have the ability. 

he had all of it planned out in his mind. 

The moment she said yes, he would bring her to that place and reminisce certain memories of the past.

Yes, this is the reason why he looks at his old country. 

Not to reminisce about the fall of a mortal regime but simply to find the perfect place to show how much he loves her and that he still remembers

That even after all of this years, the years did not manage to erode that one early memory that they shared together

That was a tragic day for both of them but it is also a day that binds them together.

He would kiss her under the peach tree and he would affirm his love to her. He would make the peach tree blossom and the petals flies into the air to celebrate their love

And they could have that happily ever after. 

It is not going to be easy but Azief believe that if they were to fight for it, if they were to believe in it, believe in them, then whether it come early or late, they will have that happy ending.

That is what he believes. 

That is what he thought would happen. Because regardless of the thing that separate him and her, regardless of the scars and the pain, he, ultimately believe in them

He has man dreams. And out of all the many grandiose dreams he had, this was the simplest one

To marry the woman that he love

It is the simplest yet it is also one of the most important. 

A simple dream. 

He believes that he could do both. He could still love someone and still at the same time seek the truth of the world, and seek the highest peak of power.

This did not contradict his path. And yet...nothing goes as planned.

in the end, it is just a dream now. 

She said no. 

She did not say it with her words but with her tears.

It is clear what she wanted. And he could not blame her. 

So, he is now alone in this tent, thinking so many things while trying not to break down. 

Maybe, he keeps thinking about the past, keep thinking about problems he could solve, because he could not solve the problem that they face

It is easy to face the world. 

For the strongest person in the world, to face the world is easy. He could solve all the problem of the world great power as long as he makes a move

But with Sofia, he could not do that. 

He could not force her to feel a certain way. He could not persuade her for she would be unpersuaded.

He could not be angry at her, because there is blame on his side. 

He could not…do anything. The feeling of not being able to do anything to change the conclusion is a very weird feeling for Azief

After the Fall, there is not a lot of things ins this world that he could not do. He is running away from trying to think that his relationship with Sofia is over

With not so many words, it is over. She could no longer bear the pain, so she had to let it go. And the only thing he could do for her right now, is to allow her to go. 

It is sad that the one thing he could do to the person he loves is to simply let them go. 

He sighed and then calms himself down

'Too many things at stake here. It is not wrong to run away once in a while, right?' he mutters to himself.

He then walks away from the tent. He looks at the tent for the last time. Maybe he had hoped that like in the movies, she would come back. 

That she realized that she loved him still and run back to his arms. He chuckles bitterly. His entire life he had been waiting that movie-like scene in his life.

But he knows he would be disappointed. Most of his life sometimes look like a trope in a tragedy drama.

He sighed. And he waited a few more seconds. The wind of the forest blows gently and his hair waves right and left, his sleeves fluttered and even the flap of the tent moves following the direction of the wind

That's it, he hoped. That Sofia come back with the wind. 

But there is no one. Only the blowing of the gentle wind

Then he shakes his head. 

She would not return here any longer

He closes his eyes and in his mind, he replays that moment a thousand times. 

Like he was back there, with Sofia, and he knew that in his heart that the words that is coming out of her mouth would slowly leads to the end of their relationship

Still, there is no sentence that he could form to make her stay. And then he opens his eyes and he could only accept the end.

It is painful. 

And it hurts. 

Hurts more than he thought anyway. At least now he understood those love songs that sings about breakup

He thought he knew about it before. But now, he truly knew. 

He took his time and shakes his head.

'I like to believe in us.' He repeated what he had said in his heart

And then there is only silence. 

There are words that he could not speak. Fearing that the words would never become a reality, he did not say it and kept it only in his heart

He could only sigh, his hand clenched into a fist. As he sighed, he releases his hand and calm down his heart

He teleported to the hill. On the hill, Jean Avatar is still there. 

He looks at that avatar for a few second, seemingly thinking of doing something but then he shakes his head

Azief did not want to talk to Jean Time Avatar. 

It is Jean but it might be Jean from a few seconds in the future or Jean from some his past timeline.

He only came to the hill to supply some energy to Jean. He come beside Jean. Time Avatar Jean look at him and Azief could see a pointer of a clock inside his eyes. Of course, to some people, it would look like that.

But Azief could see beyond that pointer. He could see deep in the eyes of Jean, is a different scenery of time.

It is the scene of Jean in front of the portal. Azief could also sense the weak existence of this time avatar

'From the future' he thought to himself

This is the easiest way to grab a time Avatar from.

Since the future in a way is affected by the past, and actually a projection of probabilities, this time Avatar would not affect things because he come from the future

Azief could also manipulate the Laws of time and created an avatar like Jena. But it would not be as perfect as Jean Time Avatar.

And after his experience of messing with time, he is quite fine not messing with time and space ever again

It took too much calculation

They only look at each other and since Azief did not say anything, Jean Time Avatar also did not say anything

Azief then put his palm on Jean back. The energy of the world around the hill was instantly absorbed by Azief body and he directed that energy to Jean.

Jean Time Avatar seems to become more solid. Azief channels some of his energy mixed with the world energy.

Jean Time Avatar only nodded at him and Azief nodded back. 

'At least, this will help you not to worry about today' he mutters to himself.
