Chapter 112- You Are My Miracle

Kaya's face crumbled as she held her face. Her lips quivered slightly before she took a deep breath to calm her emotions. She was ready to tell the story but just remembering the stuff she saw, it was just too ridiculous to just accept.

Kai and Eva could understand her current thoughts. Both of them were still confused too but they weren't as agitated as she was.

"When we stepped on the Frozen Plains, the weather almost instantly changed. It was cold at first but after we arrived, it became a complete catastrophe. I couldn't even see a meter ahead of me and the winds were extremely strong. I was able to keep myself fairly warm but my team didn't have the same luxury. By the time we moved a kilometer or so, one of them fell to the ground. I tried to save him but weirdly enough, his body instantly went limp and he died... On the spot."

"... Was there any reason for that?" Kai asked.

"No, it all happened in a few seconds. It was as if his blood froze from the inside."

'Froze from the inside, huh?' The boy's eyes squinted for a second before he focused on Kaya again.

"I couldn't carry him with us since the situation was already bad as it is and we couldn't go back either since the directions were messed up because of the blizzard. We didn't know left from right. So, I took the decision of continuing the march till we reach some kind of cave to hide from the cold. By the time we reached the 10 km mark... most of them faced the same fate."

Sighing, she ran her hand through her head. "Only a few level 5 ascenders that had affinity with fire stayed alive but they were in really bad conditions. Their limbs were frozen and had already turned blue. I didn't know what to do except to help them with whatever Origin I had left. But, I was running out of fuel myself. That's when we stumbled upon the cave you found me in."

"We entered inside to rest... It was calm at first but then, that thing... appeared in front of us."

The moment that 'thing' was mentioned, Kaya's face flared with anger. A deep hatred could be seen deep within her eyes.

"I didn't even understand what the hell is that thing. But, since it seemed hostile, I fought it. It was very strong but I was able to push it back. But, because of my exhaustion, I couldn't deliver the finishing blow. That was probably my biggest mistake. When that creature realized that I can't kill it, it changed its approach and instead decided to attack the ascenders behind me. But, instead of fighting back or even trying to help me... Those fuckers ran away."

Kaya could vividly remember herself yelling at them to support her from the back while she fights the monster head-on. That would've made it way easier for her to kill it. But, instead, they ignored her and quickly escaped the place, leaving her alone to fend off the Spider Queen.

Kaya didn't even have time to feel angry at this betrayal as she was fighting a deadly battle.

"The fight continued for almost a whole day. We were on equal footing for the whole time until I was completely wrung dry of Origin. I couldn't even stand on my feet properly. That's when the monster completely overwhelmed me. I sustained heavy damage and countless injuries but I still had no choice but to fight. I was able to deal heavy damage to it too but I was losing. Until I finally made the last blunder."

The blonde beauty's hand moved toward her chest where she could vividly remember the huge injury she sustained. The pain and the numbness as blood gushed out of her body and her eyes lost focus. They were all still vivid in her head. She felt it, death knocking on her door. She was certain that if she lost consciousness, she was going to die for sure.

"I couldn't keep myself awake for long and I knew I was certainly going to die if I don't get medical attention soon. My bets were low, extremely low. But... I took those last few seconds to pull out my phone and call you. I was certain it wouldn't connect but I still wanted to at least hear your voice before I die... Then, I used the last ounce of energy I had to summon 'Black Armadillos' and I hid myself inside."

"Why didn't the Spider Queen attack you?" Kai asked with a blank expression. Nobody could understand what was going on inside his head. However, it was certainly not pleasant considering his chilling aura. n()0velBIn

"I don't know very well but it must've been because it was also heavily injured and couldn't break the armor of my summon. So, it simply left me alone to go back and recover thinking I was probably going to die soon. Now that I think about it, the fact that I'm still alive is a miracle... No, it's way beyond a miracle. I never even thought I would be able to stay alive long enough for you to save me."

Tears welled up in Kaya's eyes as she stared at Kai warmly. "I can't describe how happy I am now. Thank you... Thank you so much for letting me stay by your side, Kai." She said in a heartfelt tone.

Kai stared at Kaya's beautiful silhouette at that moment and he could only stay silent. Even for someone like him, Kaya now looked so beautiful that she couldn't be described with words. Her aura, her smile, her face, everything about her was as divine as it could get.

Even Eva had to admit that she was mesmerized for a second.

"It's not a miracle..." Kai finally stood up and dusted his clothes. "Miracles don't exist. It's your tenacity that kept you alive. I was simply the result of that." He said.

"..." The two women stared at him speechlessly.

"Don't undermine your efforts with foolish concepts like miracles. If it was someone else other than you, they probably would've died way before I even thought of trying to come here and save them. People's fates are linked to what they can and can not do and you were able to stay attached to your own life... It's as simple as that."

Although many would disagree with what Kai said and he didn't frankly care. He was the strongest and so he knew that fate isn't going to favor someone over another simply for no reason. Miracles, if they really existed in the first place, only happen to those who deserve them. Only those who don't have the ability to change their own fates believe in miracles.

However, at that moment, Kaya wiped her tears before she shook her head.

"No, miracles exist. They are real."

"Hm?" Kai's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.

"I don't know about that kiddo there. But, for me, our meeting is a miracle. You are my miracle. If it wasn't for the fact that you are way more powerful than anyone else, I would've never lived. Tenacity? What would that do if you weren't there to fulfill the impossible? You're saying that I'm undermining my own abilities when you are the one doing that, Kai."
