Chapter 15: Which Side Do You Choose
"So you understand why we still struggle in this war with the humans and are hiding in different sectors on Earth," Nyx said as Hael gave repeated nods.
"Now that you know the reason behind the war, I want to ask you a very important question that changes everything..." Nyx said as she rose up from her sitting position and her dark eyes looked at Hael, the dark vortex in them slowly beginning to revolve.
It was a sign that Hael took to represent her shifting back to her beastly form.
"You just came to this world 5 hours ago, meaning you have no affiliation with the humans or the Eldritches. Which side do you wish to join in this war?" Nyx said as the pressure in the darkness massively increased, and Hael felt his spine shudder in his back, but with an equally serious expression, he gave his answer...
"I choose none!"
"WHAT!?" Nyx asked, shocked by the unexpected reply. She had been expecting him to choose the humans, probably because that was where he landed when he came to this world.
According to the way she purposefully narrated her tale, the humans were the ones currently with the upper hand in this war, while he might have joined the Eldritch forces because she was currently threatening to rip him apart.
But never did she expect him to have chosen none of both sides...
"I said I don't choose to join neither the human nor the Eldritch. I won't be directly involved in this war...." Hael declared as Nyx snorted coldly.
"That's bullshit..."
"No, it isn't. I came to a strange alien world, and you think I'll partake in some god-forsaken war that has nothing to do with me? You forgot I have a place I am coming from?" Hael asked as Nyx raised an eyebrow at him.
"Aetheria..."
"Correct. My plan right now is to find my way back to where I was coming from. So you both keep fighting your way and seeking to dominate each other. Once I find a way back, I'll be gone from this place immediately..."
"That's funny. You think we, the Eldritch, don't wish to return back to our world? We are fighting because we see no way back home. What you want to do will only be a fruitless endeavor.
Besides, you came here with nothing but your pants on. How will you get your hands on resources to find your way back? Resources that our entire Eldritch race, after working hard for ten years as slaves for the humans, couldn't get?
You'll only be a mere pawn in this war, used by those who are far stronger and would lie to you that they have what you are seeking for..." Nyx said as Hael simply looked at her with a listless expression.
"I actually don't really care which side you join. All I know is you saved my life, and now I just saved yours too by not ripping my claws through your throat right now and eliminating a potential threat for both races.
Besides, even though you have a very pure magic essence in your body, you're actually very weak. Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
BAAAADUUUUUUMMMPPP
His heart began pumping loudly within his chest, every muscle disintegrating all that was present around his surrounding...
Suddenly Hael felt the pitch-black darkness surrounding him suddenly illuminated by an astral blue light managing to pique Hael's curiosity even through the horrific pain, and then he focused and finally found the source of the light.
It was... it was his forehead!
Right now, on Hael's forehead, the nine petals flower ruin was now present on his forehead, and one of the nine petals was now undulating with powerful energy...
"SHIT! I just started undergoing my first awakening an opening my first gate now. But... But it is never this painful!!!" Hael said through clenched teeth, and in the next second....
BAAAAAAANG
It was like a sledgehammer was aimed at the back of his head as he immediately collapsed face-flat, and the light on his forehead rapidly disappearing...
The last thing he heard was...
"Hael, are you okay..."
"The mission has been completed, get him back to the spaceship, NOW!!!"
