Chapter 140 - Cap 139: Blessing Of The Fairies

It's all dark, there's nothing around, I can't even tell you the directions or how long I've been here, all I know is that I feel several wounds all over my body that keep hurting, these wounds seem to be superficial but are hurting more than that they should. 

I don't know how long I've been here, but the pain only increases as time goes by, the last thing I remember was finishing that Fairy's transformation process. 

"Did I manage to save that Fairy?"  (I) 

"If I'm not mistaken I think I named her before I lost consciousness."  (I) 

"I think the name I chose was Layla, the meaning of that name was night in Arabic, it was the name I chose for a Fairy Queen in one of my games."  (I) 

Sigh 

"It brings back memories."  (I) 

Being in this situation where I know I'm unconscious, not knowing how much time has passed or when I'll wake up again, all of this reminds me of years going back and forth from the coma of my previous life. 

"I thought I wouldn't have to go through this in this life, it seems I was wrong.."  (I) 

"Everyone must be worried about me right now, I didn't want to do that to them."  (I) 

I try to look around one more time but there's nothing but darkness, I can't even see my hands. 

"It would be nice to know if this was worth going through."  (I) 

"Let's hope Fairy is alright."  (I) 

"I'm glad you think of her in this situation."  (Voice 1) 

"Don't worry the fairy who was named Layla is more than fine."  (Voice 2) 

"You went far beyond expectations, even though you look like a child on the outside, you proved to be a reliable man when needed."  (Voice 3) 

"What you did for those five Fairies is not an easy thing to achieve, even if you can't save them individually, it was more than we expected you to be able to give a chance to be reborn as a single being."  (Voice 4) 

"I hope you take good care of her from now on."  (Voice 1) 

"After so long a new breed of Fairy has been born, the Goddess will be happy with the news."  (Voice 3) 

"You don't realize you're confusing him, at least we have to explain things correctly."  (Voice 5) 

"She's right, we can talk after healing her soul, that's the least we can do to bring one of our race back after it's lost."  (Voice 4) 

"You guys talk too much, I'm already healing his soul if you can call it a soul."  (Voice 2) 

"..." (I) 

Suddenly I started to hear five voices talking to me and talking to each other, I didn't know where they were coming from but I could see that there were three women and two men talking. 

Soon I started to feel some type of comfortable energy covering my body and the pain started to decrease little by little, then I felt four more types of energy covering me making the pain disappear completely. 

"Any scars will be left, but Warrior doesn't have some scars?"  (Voice 3) 

"Your soul is completely healed now so let's make this place a little more comfortable to talk."  (Voice 5) 

Suddenly five lights of different colors shone around me making the darkness disappear, this time when I looked around I could see that I was at camp in the forest of the Valley of Blood during the night. 

The lights dimmed but didn't go back to dim after the five lights went out I could see five people around me, a beautiful woman who looked like a White Elf with green hair and eyes wearing a dress made of leaves and vines, she also had wings of a green butterfly and a crown made of beautiful twigs on the head. 

Another person appeared to be a big strong man with red hair and eyes, he wore only shirtless pants and held a red spear in his hands, he had wings made of fire on his back and a crown-shaped flame on his head. 

The third person appeared to be a beautiful blue-skinned teenager with white hair and crystal blue eyes, wearing clothes made of blue and white crystal, she had wings from the same coastal as her clothes, I could see on her head a floating white crystal crown. 

The fourth person was a man with golden hair and eyes, his skin was black and looked like a warrior wearing two swords at his waist and clothes that looked like they were made of monster skin, he had wings made of golden electricity on his back and a golden crown with electrical sparks coming out of it floating above her head. 

The fifth person looked like a beautiful girl, her hair and eyes were purple, her skin was pale white and her dress was purple with blue and white accents, I looked at her back to see if she also had wings just to see nothing at first sight. , but when I looked closer I could see that the space on his back looked deformed when I tried to draw in my mind a line around the space deformation I realized that the formed design resembled wings, in his head I could see a crown made of purple energy. 

"..." (I) 

It was not difficult to associate the appearances of these people with the elements of wood, fire, lightning, ice, and space. 

At that moment I remember those responsible for the death of the Necromancer the five Fairy Kings, if I remember correctly these are the same elements that the Fairy I helped had, so these people must be the Fairy Kings. 

"Looks like our appearances surprised him a lot."  (Fairy King of Fire) 

"We can't blame him, not many have the chance to see us up close, let alone five of us."  (Fairy Queen of Wood) 

"He seems to have figured out who we are pretty quickly."  (Ice Fairy Queen) 

"Looks like he's wary of us."  (Fairy King of Thunder) 

"Maybe you guys could stop talking to each other and get straight to what matters."  (Fairy Queen of Space) 

They said they healed my soul so that pain I felt before should be that since I don't feel anything anymore, that mysterious woman said I wouldn't have to worry about the wounds in my soul if I succeeded in helping that Fairy, she should have known the Faerie Kings would appear to heal me then. 

"Well if I'm still alive and you guys healed me then it looks like I didn't commit any Taboo right?"  (I) 

"You're right."  (Fairy Queen of Space) 

"Then why are you here or could you better tell me where it is here?"  (I) 

"We're inside your head, we can say we're in a dream of yours."  (Wood Fairy Queen) 

"You may not know it but you did something amazing."  (Fairy Queen of Space) 

"What the Necromancer did to the Fairies of our elements caused their souls to break inside that grotesque body."  (Fairy King of Thunder) 

"If she died like that her souls would disappear, we wanted to help but we couldn't."  (Fairy King of Thunder) 

"If what they say is true then why couldn't they help her?"  (I) 

"We ruled over the Fairies so we can only protect Fairies, what the Necromancer did result in a being that was no longer a Fairy, so we didn't have the right or authority to intervene."  (Fairy King of Fire) 

"All we could do was judge the Necromancer for breaking a Taboo of our race, which I gladly did."  (Fairy King of Fire) 

"All we could do afterward was watch these Fairies suffer, but then you showed up."  (Wood Fairy Queen) 

"What you did to this Fairy turned her body into a Fairy's again, and used the broken souls within the body to create a single soul, giving them a second chance."  (Ice Fairy Queen) 

"It wasn't the best of solutions, but it was better than most alternatives, now the Fairy named Layla doesn't need to suffer anymore, we've already given our Blessings to her."  (Fairy Queen of Space) 

"As You helped save this Fairy and helped create a new race of Fairy, you deserve a reward."  (Fairy Queen of Space) 

"..." (I) 

"For starters, we grant you the title [Fairy Friend]."  (Fairy King of Fire) 

"We will also grant our Blessings to you."  (Ice Fairy Queen) 

"Lastly we gave you the ability we saw you most wanted [Hide Mark], this is a unique ability that allows you to hide your status from everyone and everything, it also allows you to mark other people connected to you to hide their status ."  (Fairy Queen of Space) 

"With your new title and our blessings you will be able to see and talk to Fairies now, it will also show other Fairies that you are someone to trust."  (Fairy King of Thunder) 

"Today you were able to earn our respect and friendship, be happy that there are few who are capable of that."  (Fairy King of Thunder) 

"These are your rewards for what you've accomplished by helping Fairy Layla."  (Fairy Queen of Wood) 

"We thank you so much for saving a member of our race, thank you."  (Fairy Queen of Wood) 

"I hope you and Layla are happy, goodbye Zenos."  (Fairy Queen of Wood) 

With that the five Fairy Kings turn into balls of light and disappear somewhere, I am left alone here in my dream. 

"The Fairies really like to talk, but they are very friendly, they gave me a lot of presents too."  (I) 

Sigh 

"But I must admit that their presence was very strong and I was a little shy too, they were all men and women that the definition of the word beauty is not enough to describe their appearance."  (I) 

"Even though their personalities are nice, I have to say I was more relaxed after they left."  (I) 

When I wake up I'll probably get an earful for doing all that, just as I think about it I see my dream around me disappear and I feel like I'm about to wake up.
