Chapter 130- Realization
[Eblana POV, a short time before Keeno and co find the ruins]
“Oh? Finally, someone proactive in cleaning up those pests. Good thing I like you, or I’d actually have to go and fight you for killing them. Though since I like you, I’ll clean up that small mess you made on the road. Can’t have those annoying paladins tracking you down.”
I ordered several of my undead eyes to land on the unburnt bodies and soon they went up in purple flames.
“Tch. Just barely enough to cover their tracks. I wish she would stop burning all of these. It takes a while to get them there and it’s annoying making more, though I guess I do get why she does it. I mean, I don’t like being watched either. Meh, I’ll just apologize when we meet and come up with an excuse then...hmm?”RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
I watched as they started walking toward a cave, miss Keeno seemingly getting very excited when something happened with her. Atop her head blue flames in the shape of a crown of horns appeared, reminiscent of someone any dragon would recognize.
“...Oh...oh dear...”
I immediately made a stronger undead capable of flight and extreme long-distance surveillance and sent it toward that forsaken country.
“If she is part of her bloodline, then I need to reconsider many things...damn, and I’m already on her bad side...”
My connection to the last of my eyes observing her at the moment was abruptly cut, letting me know she burnt it away again.
“I need to make contact with her.”
I looked around my workspace and practically ran over to a pile of assorted bones. I started to pick them up and sorted them in a shape while channeling mana into them. Once I was done, the bones were in the shape of a somewhat large bird. I then added a human hand to the inside of the rib cage before putting one of my magic pens and several pieces of paper inside. After that I raised it and nearly threw it out the window. Only then did I allow myself to breathe.
“Please make it before they get too far away from that area.”
I sat down in my chair, trying my best to calm down.
“You are much more than you seem, Miss Keeno.”
As I sat there thinking about the little fox, I remembered something.
“Oh...OH...OH!!! I-I don’t know if I should laugh or cry.”
Thinking about the shape of those horns on her head, the fact that her flames are blue, and is a kitsune with multiple tails, I remembered the old mongrel’s nightmare.
“He’s having prophetic nightmares about her...those nightmares are calling for his death...the Death Spirits are becoming more active and have gotten even more excited when she enters the country...!!!”
“Things are just getting more and more complicated. Though I don’t know why it’s taken this long, the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Death are Fated Ones and they are finally preparing to pass judgment on Odeen...what’s going on? Why not do this long ago? *sigh*Calm down and think, Eblana...or wait for answers to come to you...if things go well, I’ll get some answers soon...I just need to make sure not to offend her even more.”
When I finally made it back to my room, I fell face first onto my bed.
“I need a drink.”
