Chapter 367 - 367. A new flame? Or old one?

Headache. So much headache. 

People woke up with a headache in a big hall filled with only a dim light. One by one they stood up and started panicking as they saw where they are. Screams and cries could be heard from everywhere.

"Stop crying and just go out. You are still alive, tsk tsk. Go now and live properly and happily. Don't do evil and do good. Understood?" A soothing voice made them calm and they saw a light on the end of the room coming from the open door. 

Some of them turned around, looking for the person that spoke. But as thousands of people rushed out, they are not able to see anything and just gave up.

"What do we do next?" Oi was curious about her plans.

"Next? We wait until the girls are ready. Maybe ten more years and go to the next world. You need to say a proper goodbye to your women and we need to see if we missed any of the creatures. I can't get off the feeling we missed something." She was sure that this was not over yet.

In upper regions was an argument between Cethin and a bunch of old men. "You can't deny our proposal. Kir, you are the only child in millennia and its time you have offspring."

He just sat there and played with a bunny toy Kendra sewed herself for him. With a slight smile, he poked the soft texture and chuckled.

"Kir! Are you even listen?" An amazing man appeared right next to him and saw the strange thing in his hands. "Don't tell me you like a commoner?"

Cethin just rose his hands and chuckled. "You people are strange lately. Very, very strange. You clearly know who I like, but make such great assumptions. Out pure curiosity, who else I shall marry than my beloved? You old men can have their own offspring. Why are you bothering someone who has own plans? Now, who is better than Grand Grounding Fairies daughter and Grandmasters child? Is there someone?" 

He knew how proud his elders were so when he said this, he made it intentionally hard for them. The man in front of him just furrowed his eyebrows and pressed his lips.

No matter how they saw it, Kendra was someone of amazing standing, great background and a bright future. "The woman that we plan for you is much less than her." 

He saw Cethin raising his head and looking with despise at him. Their race never needed anyone's help or favours. So it was fine to choose their own partners without the need to worry.

"A great clan of ours must have made such great movement for someone who is probably better than my Kendra. Don't tell me... worse?" With teasing voice he asked the man in front of him while his eyes turned dark.

"Kendra won't be here for a long time. Her task will make you stay away from her for at least a millennia." One of the other elders spoke. 

Cathin stood up from his chair and appeared next to the man. "Tsk, tsk. As it seems the eternity killed a few of your working brain cells."

The other man was his older cousin. He had multiple wives and none of them gave a new generation. He was touched in his price and jumped from his seat.

"You little puppy. What do you mean by your words!" He was furious. He was clearly older, but this kid never respected him even a bit.

Cethin blinked innocently at him and smiled then. "We are all bound to eternity. Millennia? What is that? And who said she will need a millennium? She is almost done with tenth worlds." 

Gasps could be heard from everywhere. They all knew that she had a task from even more powerful being than themselves. Cleaning the worlds from dark ones, without the help of any higher being. 

Cethin stared at them in despise. "We can't enter those worlds after she is done with them. She not only is doing your job, but she is also as well protecting every world from future interferences. Millennia? I'm willing to wait for her even longer!" Looking at the change on their faces his eyes became cold."It seems you all became lazy in the last few centuries. What about this? I will go and bring mother back. Its time she finally cleans you all up. Instead of taking care of your duties, you all have, as it seems, too much boredom. Mom will find you a thing or two to work on."

Before they could even react he disappeared leaving them with petrified expression just floating around. 

"Cethin wouldn't bring back that horrible woman?" They were worried. 

"Last time I had to stand for ten millennia next to a crack of time and sew it together. It was the worst experience ever." A woman came forward and shook her head. "Why did we even poke into his business? Komie, you gathered us here to bring up such an unreasonable request. Now that woman will get angry. No. Knowing her temper she will probably take us to the end of time and make us work on long lost worlds."

But a young voice suddenly could be heard on the door. "You all promised me. I waited for so long. Kir is mine, you promised me so many millennia ago."

"Child, we thought he would finally open his heart to you as he became softer lately. Find Kendra. If she can accept you as his side woman, we will push you to become a second legal wife. But I fear she won't. She hates sharing." The woman patted young girls head and disappeared. 

The other elders sighed. Kir was stiff even as a child. Now finally he started taking interest in them. And they knew it is because of that girl. Without her, he wouldn't positively change.

For the first time, they saw a smile on his face and warmth in his eyes. But that kind of expression he never showed to this person. 

Even after reincarnation, he still disliked her so much.

"Kir. Even after ten reincarnations and your memory loss, you still have no heart for me? I, the great Monn, feel angry. Some wild woman dared to take my love away?" Her face was filled with maliciousness as a nasty smile appeared on her face. "So, she must finish her tasks? I guess I need few allies..."
