Chapter 244 Themis

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! What am I doing here? How come you know the Royal Language, sacred to Lunas… Who are you? What?!

"SILENCE!!!" spoke the statue, the Goddess of Equity, as she observed us and I just stood there recalling the bits of information about the Goddess.

There were 4 Broken Goddesses, but Elle told me that there were 6 in total, while Lucia spoke about the existence of a Seventh Goddess. Though honestly, I had never met one until now, forget about seven.

According to the legends, these Seven or four or whatever the number is, these Goddesses each belonged to a high faction each. For example,

Lunas have the Goddess of Equity

Scarlets have the Goddess of Fury

Laurentzs have the Goddess of Victory and Defeat

Elfens have the Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom

While the others I don't know…

Nobody knows about their origin or perhaps anything about them. The only few people who did come close to them, they could only look at them that too when they are called and other times these Goddesses just come on their own telling their clan or a faction of the upcoming doom or something. That is all…

However, Elle once told me something about the Goddess of Lunas after Luna vanished completely from the face of the Planet Vermillion.

["Perhaps it's fine if I tell you since it probably won't change anything. You see Reaper, the Goddess of Luna was actually a powerful being who was banished from the world of Light and then she was given a task of finding her complete-self before she can have the purpose of living.

'Only a True Luna can receive Equity's true blessing,' was a famous quote which I have heard many times before. I didn't get to meet the Luna Goddess, but I think I would have received that blessing if I had met her earlier.

If you are wondering why, then that is because, after they died, I learnt the Royal Luna's blessing just to check if I can meet the Goddess, which I actually did, however, she told me that she is going to die in a moment as she had already lost all her powers to a certain being. Made me quite furious as I learnt that the True Luna thing was just bullshit created by Luna. In any case, that made me think one more thing though,

You see Reaper; I think there is more to us than just these Parasites and those bastards… I think there is a bigger thing going on than we can imagine.

Well, I tried visiting that place again using the spell, but it didn't work cause my System said as a non-Luna, I can only visit once. I wonder if you can visit there and find something to help us in the ongoing war?"]

I did try to visit here before, and yeah, I succeeded last time as well. Though there was no one here last time. Later in the previous timeline, I asked Elle to teach me about the language and stuff about the Lunas and whatnot, which actually gave me a lot of helpful information.

"I see two non-Lunas here. How did you gain entry to this place?" Asked the two faced women as she looked at us and I turned at her before speaking.

"You have a Guardian Fragment in your possession, don't you?"

Yeah. That was the thing that came to mind when I connected the dots. The highest beings that I know of right now are the Primordials and the Guardians and with the blessing involved, I think it was fine to reach the conclusion that this goddess… is actually a Guardian Fragment… and most probably the others as well.

The statue turned silent and then vanished before an exquisitely beautiful lady formed in front of it by overflowing water from the ground. Merlin was surprised by this, probably because she didn't know about this piece of information.

"Who are you?" The statue asked, and I looked at her before speaking.

"I would like to know your name first."

She pondered about it before speaking,"it's Themis. Now your turn." Well, at least she didn't show her ego and answered my question without any second thought. I looked at Merlin, who was getting more and more surprised as seconds passed, and it kind of made me chuckle before I spoke.

"I go by many names. Reaper and Zero are the most frequent. Though you can call me the Guardian Fragment of Space."

Her eyes widened, and a smile formed on her face as she spoke,"you are a Guardian Fragment as well!!!!" and then she hugged me as tightly as she could. I could have died from choking, but probably because of the environment which was hers, I didn't.

She then stepped back with a blossoming smile on her face as she spoke,"are you here to save me from them?"

I kind of observed her for a few moments before I said,"them?" There was slight confusion on my face and hearing my question, her expression started getting worse but before she could misinterpret I spoke,

"I know about the Primordials and stuff, but I don't know about your situation honestly. I was here for a different task than that, but if you can tell me what is going on, maybe I can do something?"

I was sceptical to where this was going, but if I can add another being like Themis into my side… damn! Now wouldn't that be something?! Though, first I need to find out what exactly is going on here.

I turned to Merlin, who was just standing there with a look of stupefaction on her face. I kind of felt pity for her here…

"Hmmm… all right. At least it's better than nothing. No. Actually, it is still significantly better than nothing. All right, I will tell you everything I know. You decide what to do with it," she said and created a bunch of tables and chairs as she sat on it and looked at me as if waiting for me to sit as well and listen to her.
