Chapter 303 - HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS (3)

'Ah, I didn't know I was so easy to be spooked when I was younger. I have forgotten' Then looking at her the older version of her said

'Young Erika, we have much to talk about'

Erika looks at the older version of her and she was speechless.

'You could call me One Eyed Erika'

And the One Eyed Erika smiles

What would you need to talk to me about? Then One Eyed Erika smiles.

'You see, that Trickster always thinks he is always one step ahead of everyone. He calculates, but I see. And I see everything. From the beginning until the end. A witness to the End of Times.'

If Loki could hear the One Eyed Erika words right now he would have surely be angered.

Because he is falling to the same trap like he did to Morgana. The moment Morgana seek Giselle it spell her demise causing Loki to return her to her origin.

But the moment Loki try to mess with Erika mind, the seal her future self has planted in herself kick back. Existence like the Oracles who could foresee the future has a very peculiar trait

And one of those traits is that they are not really constrained by Time.

'Trickster?' Erika said, her voice echoing in this space.

Then slowly understanding dawned on her

'Loki the Trickster!' The One Eyed Erika smiles and nodded. This is the reason why Erika is still unconscious even though there is nothing wrong with her body.

One part of it is because of Azief Heaven Sundering Finger but the other is because her future self has chosen to self-manifest in her consciousness.

It is just a wisp of will and would disappear in a moment time but it is enough

But this meeting would not happen unless there is a traumatic shock to Erika body.

But how could the One Eyed Erika foreseen this moment?

For others they might need planning but for an Oracle, the explanation is self-explanatory.

They see it. They see everything in the long passage of Time.

'There is not much time, little one. I must tell you something. Something very important. We must rectify our mistakes. Such tragedy must not befall the Universe since again'

Then One Eyed Erika takes a step forward and she appears almost instantly in front of Erika.

'There will be a little bit of pain but you must not let go of the connection' she said and then she touches Erika forehead with one finger and then information and images streamed directly into Erika mind.

She was almost overwhelmed with all the images, visions and knowledge she is imparted with. She felt pain assaulting her mind, like her head is being split open by an axe.

But she endures it.

She did not let go of that connection.

The more the older version of her transfer her knowledge and the more vision swimming in Erika mind, the more her older version of her becomes weak.

Her body becomes translucent like every image took away her life force

Then slowly she turns into green motes of light that scattered in the vast space like dandelion seeds.

But her words echoes forlornly in Erika consciousness.

'Do not forget. Remember. Please remember!'

And then a Song could be heard echoing inside this space like a tune that comes from a flute. And then she wakes up. She opens her eyes and saw the white ceiling.

Her body felt energized and her mind is clear. The voice still echoes in her ears. Like a pleading. Like a prayer.

She immediately knows where she is. She is in the hospital. She could smell the herbs from a distance and heard the people being rushed to the emergency room below her.

Her cloudy eyes turn normal the moment she wakes up.

She was about to get up from the bed when she felt something warm holding her hands. She looks at her right hand and there she sees him.

And a smile bloom on her face like the beautiful spring dawn in the morning driving away the darkness.

It is him. Her home. Her eyes are gentle and there is a trace of more than just gratitude hidden in those gentle eyes.

Antonius is holding her hand, sleeping peacefully, his face on the edge of her bed; his body slumped on the chair.

He seems exhausted

Erika smiles a bit and then said

'Little Anthony' and she caressed his hair.

'It seems I have returned home. And there seems to be many more adventure we have to pass' Antonius is sleeping deeply.

It was like looking at a beautiful painting.

Leaning down she kissed his cheek and then smiles bitterly and continue sleeping.

Nobody needs to know she has woken up right now. She wanted to rest. She wanted to sleep without being drifted into darkness and nothingness.

She just wanted to sleep. Because right now she is tired and weary. She has learned too many things in a short period of time.

There are things she forgot in the vision she saw in that darkness but there is also things she remembers she must do.

But…..let that be later. For now, she just wanted to take that nap. So she closed her eyes and she drifted to sleep almost immediately

Outside the hospital room, on the edge of the window sill looking at all this is a green eyed raven.

The moment Erika closed her eyes and went back to sleep that raven flies off its green eyed has now return back to normal.
