105 Nti Anem's identity

Ed had long was now leaning on the hell tree, staring at the pair arguing. His eyes moved past them to the boy behind them.

"You claim to know me." he said. And the other two stopped arguing.

"That's true, you never told me why you sent this boy here? It you had not informed my before time, I would have killed him." Old Iba raised the issue.

"He is an energy manipulator." Tie Nse said.

"What? They are extinct!" Old Iba could not believe it no matter what.

"It matters not if you think they are. He show cased his powers in the heaven alliance meet. The entire cultivation world knows he exists." Tie Nse said.

"The why is he here?" Old Iba asked, "don't tell me you want to add another monster to you other monster disciple you can't even afford to train!"

"He claimed to know my disciple more than anyone in the world." Tie Nse said.

"More than anyone in this world. After all, I walked through the mist with you, Prince Edward Oric Desecar of Jurazel and Emerald." Nti Anem said and Edward gave him a piercing stare. To his words, Tie Nse and Old Iba frowned. They had not heard of these places before. What was this boy sprouting?

"You know me?" Ed asked, "You are from back home."

"Not quite. My name is Helix Apteil, I an the first Monerus brother." Nti Anem said.

"Monerous brother, those invited to emerald, yet stabbed us in the back." Ed's expression remained the same.

"I heard of that. I always thought you would be angry when we met. Time really does wash away feeling." as he said those words, Ed's face darkened.

"I was not really amongst them. They caused all that havoc and killed that many people because they were trying to resurrect me. They did not finish the spell to raise my body as wee, but my spirit was free, and had no host. No one capable of housing me. All except you." Tie Nse frowned and prepared to attack.

"You wish to to posses me? Aren't you too bold?" Ed asked as though it was not him that was under threat.

"No. I wanted to. That is how I followed you and got dragged into the Mist with you. Oh, the mist. I always heard that this place was different for every one. No time, no space, nothing, yet everything. When I was alive, I had always wanted to come here. But Mother Slah refused me to venture in." Nti Anem said as he gazed up at the clear sky.

"Mother slah? You dare say you have met the creator?" Old Iba snorted.

"She gave me the power to create the Monerus brothers, while she gave Gryith the power to create the Sisters Of Slah, then she blessed our two orders. Tell me, your highness, do you believe I have met her?" Nti Anem said and Ed sighed. He did not know much about the Monerus brothers, but the Sisters Of Slah are said to be as old as them and were blessed by the creator. Yes, he believed it was possible.

"Why did yo wait this long to find me then?" Ed asked.

"Like I said, there is no time, nor space, everything is mixed into one big soup. That means, even though I had entered with you, we came out indifferent places and times." he answered.

"What about the body, how did you get it?" Ed asked.

"Apparently, a cultivators body is just barely as good as yours.

"You entered the mist, to save a sister. Though I do not agree with this, I am stuck here with you and need your help." he said. To this, Ed raised a brow.

"Why would I help you?"

"Because, I can get you home."

"I become a god eater, I can get home." Ed said.

"Not enough. To you even know where you are?" Nti anem laughed.

"Home? Boy, what are you talking about?" Tie Nse had long been lost since their conversation started.

"This is the astral plane. In it, there are many realms, many worlds and many universes. You are from the physical plane." Nti Anem said.

"How?" Tie Nse asked, but Ed couldn't be bothered to answer.

"He went on a quest and entered the mist. The mist took him here." Nti Anem answered.

"You talk too much." Ed said to him and he raised his hand in surrender.

"The physical plane? Many books have said that there are many planes. One that has never been entered is the physical. How can you be here, if you are from there?" Tie Nse asked.

There are somethings in this book I will never explain. This chapter will always remain vague for some. This is because I have published a whole book about most of these things already and the second book of thatseries is due for release in a year or so... I have long said that this web novel is a spin off of that book. Want to understand more, read that one. One day I will edit this one and publish it as a side series. But guys,this goal is impossible without you. Support me on patreon and get the perk of advance chapters
