Chapter 1687: Tangled



Sitting in complete Stillness and as he sits there, he begins to see things. Thing he never see before.

Insisting on seeking his Grand Path, forcing it, is like looking at a reflection of a flower on the surface of water.

When you grabbed it, you are grabbing the air.

Just be calm and let natura take its course.

Time is also fate.

Time is also destiny.

He had to defy it, but he also have to learn when to use it. When everything is satisfied, then the enlightenment will come.

And Azief clearly has satisfied some of its requirement

"It's everywhere" he mutters to himself

He look at the area around him but his mind is thinking about many things. Things of the past.

Years and years ago. The Fall. The first death he saw. The zombies. He even remember his pet Badger.

He never took another pet since then. He knows that there is some that have Beast master ability and taming pet.

The most famous one is of course Boris.

But he never took a pet since then.

He did not think that he could protect his pet at the same time trying to survive.

This has something to do with what happened before the Fall

"Is that also a shackle?" he thought to himself. He never examine this part of him. But, there must be something hidden in his heart

Because since the death of that pet of his, even though he is now the world feared Death Monarch, he still did not take a pet.

"What stopped me?" he ask himself and he must answer it. This kind of state that he is in, does not allow lies.

You could lie to the world, you could give any reason to the world, you could war a thousand mask to show to the world but you must not lie to yourself

Because lying to yourself is the act of killing yourself. And killing yourself is the act of not knowing yourself.

If you did not even know what you want, what you desire, what makes you fear, what makes you "you" then how could you ever reach the point where you could know your own path?

Know yourself.

And so, you would know your destiny.

And knowing yourself, you would know where to tread, where to walk, where to run and where is the path that you wanted to reach.

"Why?" he ask again and this time he answers

"Because I don't want to be responsible. I don't want to be in pain. I don't want to be blamed. I don't want to shoulder such heavy burden. The more attached I am, the more I blame myself" Azief thought all of this and he felt like something heavy is lifted out of his heart. He is honest to himself.

And the moment he decided to become honest to himself, old memories come rushing into his mind.

He remember there is a family of cat that usually roams around his house.

He likes cat.

He likes animals.

But he never bough any cat food.

Nor did he the cats any food.

that world of five elements. A world sealed in a palm

And he remembers what happens to the world when he returns back.

He remembers the Weronaic Occupation, he remembers that Werfeonian warrior,

Purunghasa.

He remembers the spear that cut off his life and nearly killed him. He remembers Katarina sacrifice, enchasing him in a mountain of ice.

More and more memories seems to be rushing back to him. Some of these memories are memories that he wanted to forget. Some of these memories are memories that he wanted to

keep.

Some he wanted to discard. But all of it seems to be revealing itself to him.

Like he had opened a Pandora box and nothing could be stored inside it any longer. And then

The look at himself again.

Look at the threads, the connection, the bonds that seems to transcend space and time. He could feel the tug of destiny and fate that reverberates in each thread and each connection

Karma. Cause and effect.

The threads are so tangled that cause and effect is hard to distinguish and who owes whom is

even harder to differentiate.

"It's everywhere" he mutters again

And as he sat there, looking at the droplets of rain, reminiscing old memories, he could not

help but think of all these people that he met.

Some are strongly in his mind and in his heart, some are on the corner of his memories and on

the corner of his heart but all of these encounters in the past right now is dug up by his

memories.

But each one is connected to his fate and destiny.

Whether it is bad or good, it shapes him, and move him forward to his own path.

The people he meet shapes him just as he meeting them shapes their fate and destiny

Some people who met him is enriched by the encounter.

Some are fortunate. Some are poorer because they met him and some become unfortunate.

Some live because of him and some dies because of him

And just as him meeting this people affect their destiny and fate, these people meeting him

also affect his destiny and fate.

He thought of his meeting with Azul. That is a huge cause and effect. Meeting the Creator. The

Orvans.

The Etherna. More and more cause and effect. More and more Karma.

Tangled, connected. messy.

All of this is cause and effect.
