The man now stood up and stared at the back of that red-haired youth. ''Why do you bug into my business? I don't remember to have crossed your way or bothered you in any kind of way.''
''You just attacked the King of this country that is under my protection. You bothered my peaceful existence and my leisurely lifestyle. Tell me, how will you repay me for those deeds?''
The youth stepped slowly towards the man as he retreated backward. ''No one told me about you. I wouldn't have touched these people here if I knew. Listen, if you let me go today in future on Celasia I will be your slave. Just let me live.''
The youth looked at the chair behind the man and just pushed him inside. ''If you tell me everything without a bit of lie, I promise you will keep a bit of your life before going back.''
''The ultimate promise.'' He shook as he stared at the youth.
''Then I promise. My words I never change. But for me it's not enough just the story, I want it all.''
He grabbed his ring and breathed deeply. ''I will give it all accept teleportation scroll. I need it to go back.''
The youth nodded as the man took out the teleportation scroll. But when he sneakily tried to use it nothing happened. He looked at the smiling person in front of him and despair enveloped him.
''The ring, now...'' The youth opened the hand and smiled at him.
''I.. Inside are some important things that my elders need. Please let me have it...'' But looking at the red burning eyes he almost didn't choke on his words. ''Kkkkeep it. I will find another way.''
The youth floated up and the leisurely smiled at him again. ''Now the story. If you want to go home alive.''
The man nodded and sat down as his legs shook in fear. The ministers and their families were shaken to the core. How dangerous is this youth if even this man is afraid?
The man stood up and almost stumbled on the red woman that crawled to his feet. He kicked her brutally so hard that she slammed on the wall and fell down unconsciously. He didn't even blink as he did and started pacing.
Then he suddenly stopped and started pointing fingers at the men in front of him. ''It's their fault. They somehow contacted my family on another plane and promised them to set up a praying temple. They would honor our family and make the whole country bow to them in reverence, giving us the needed holly material.''
''What is holly material?'' That is something that was not on this plane as it seems.
''Something you get when people believe in you from deep in the heart and send it to your body as new energy.'' He started to pace around. Then he stopped and looked at the girl he dropped before.
He pointed at that girl and laughed sarcastically. ''How long will you pretend? I know that you are not a child.''
The girl stood up slowly and turned her head with a wicked smile. ''You think it's easy for your family to earn reverence points. Don't make me laugh. I lead you into this mess. Do you think after all that you did so far that anyone will set up his praying temple to them? My only goal was to destroy the view of people might have off you and you fell into the trap so easily.''
The man became enraged. ''So all this nasty stuff that is going on in this country was set up by you? I wanted to find a dirty rat but actually found dirty insect.''
''So what?'' The young girl changed into the ugliest person Kendra ever saw in her life.
She started chuckling... ''Finally, witches are here. I need to find the rest of the circus as it seems.''
The woman stared at the youth that laughed clearly at her and became furious. ''You little pup. You dare to laugh at great...'' But suddenly her words choked in her throat as a small hand held her neck.
Coldness run down her back. ''I never met you. What clan do you belong to? I will leave you and your clan goes if you...'' The rest of the words disappeared in the air as loud sizzling sound could be heard.
Only a few particles were left floating in the air and even that disappeared completely moment later.
The man shriveled now even more as he heard cold voice imbued with impatience. ''Continue the story.''
''My name is Ario Jari. My family is just a small clan on borderland towards this realm. But every time one of you comes out, other clans would appear and take away the best ones. For so long time, none passed the gate.''
The youth waved to him to continue so he inhaled as he continued. ''Not long ago we got the message and different kinds of scrolls. One of the scrolls could be used to enter this place and the other is to leave. We were promised to get the praying temples if we help with the new King. When I wanted to persuade the king to resign her position things became like this. I swear by my own bloodline these weird things here have nothing to do with me or my clan.''
''What was that about eating the heart of that man?''
''I wouldn't have let him do it in last second. I just wanted to see how others would react. I am glad I have nothing to do with these people. To get reverence points from such poisonous people could get you only the light look-alike with infused dark energy. I am glad this is over. I feel dirty all over my body. Ugh... I feel like puking.'' he retched dryly as the red-haired youth stared at him.
''Go home. I know now your name. Tell your clan one thing.'' The youth came closer to Ario Jari. ''They should set up a temple for me. As I saved you from much trouble. In the future, you have to pray to me wholeheartedly.''
The man chuckled thinking that the youth made a joke but seeing the eyes getting red in a blaze he understood the truth. This youth really had that idea.
''But we need your given name. '' He tried to wiggle out this snake grip.
''No you don't. Just call me... Kaia the Great Goddess.''
Ario Jari was about to use the transportation scroll when the youth held his hand. ''What do you know about the crumbling of continents in this place.''
''Oh that... That means this plateau will disappear in the near future completely. Hah. I need to let know my family about this matter. It was so the waste of my family time and its resources. And we spend it into dying plateau.'' He self despicably chuckled and tore the scroll, disappearing in completely.
''So dying plateau... is that reason those people started moving nervously?''
Her red eyes traveled from one person to the and felt the anger in her turning into fury. ''Do you people even know what you did?''
''With this, you broke the natural balance and now the continent might not even survive a long time. You all will disappear because of what you did today. Fools.''
She just blinked and dissipated leaving them in fear on the floor. Suddenly one man jumped from the floor and started running to the door. ''They promised we can go all to next plane no, they need to make that promise come true... I don't want to die.''
Suddenly cries and struggling could be heard all over the place.
But that didn't matter as she looked at the floating bubble in front of her with big eyes and a small mouth. She tilted her head and then started laughing out loud. ''What the hell. Smiley???''
