14. Learning From Aunt [2].

“Auntie?”

“Yes, dear.”

“If the celestial beings were killed by the undead mages, then what happened to the three mages and the celestial realm? Are they currently in the celestial realm?”

“No, dear, they aren’t in the celestial realm anymore. You see, after the three mages defeated the celestial beings, they turned their attention towards the mortal realm, but the mortal realm had seven kingdoms and each kingdom picked out its strongest mage to fight against the undead mages.”

“Only one mage from each kingdom?”

“Yes,”

“But, who was chosen from our kingdom? Was it Mama?”

“Yep, your mama and six other mages fought against the three undead mages,” Evelyn’s voice emerged behind Elena and Orion as she returned from the meeting.

Orion’s ears swiftly twitched excitedly and he turned around to see his mother standing behind them.

“Mama!!!” He screamed loudly and ran to her.

Evelyn lifted him and hugged him tightly.

“I’ve missed you so much sweetie, and I’ve missed your soft chubby cheeks, as well,” Evelyn rubbed her cheeks against that of Orion’s.

“Hehe...... I’ve missed you too mama.”

Hearing those words for the first time from her cute baby, Evelyn put Orion back a little to look into his eyes.

“Really? You’ve missed Mama too?”

“Yes,” Orion nodded his head in response.

“How much?” She asked and Orion replied by spreading his hands wide.

“I’ve missed Mama this much,” He made a huge circle with his small arms.

Evelyn felt touched once again by his words and she hugged her baby affectionately again.

“So, how was the meeting with the elders?” Elena asked.

Evelyn shrugged indifferently and replied. “It went well, I guess.”

“So, the elders agreed for Orion to have his awakening ceremony tomorrow?”

“Yep,” Evelyn replied with a nod before resting her back on the headboard of her bed with Orion sitting on the bed right beside her.

“Great, I guess I should get going then.”

“Where are you going?”

“Fufufu, hearing my sweet baby saying those words makes it all worthwhile,” Evelyn hugged Orion tightly and rained kisses on his cheeks.

“Hehe.... Mama stop.....hehe.”

“Nope.”

Evelyn continued to tickle her cute baby until they were both exhausted from laughing.

Now, both of them rested their backs on the bed, breathing heavily while staring at the top of the ceiling.

“Mama?”

“Yes, dear.”

“If the celestial realm was destroyed, what happened to the Nether realm and the three undead mages?”

“They’re currently in the nether realm.”

“Huh? What? They’re still alive?”

“Yes, dear.”

“B-but what if they come back? What if they want to rule over the mortal realm again? What if they’ve become stronger than ever before?”

“Fufufu.......that’s a lot of what ifs,” Evelyn giggled at Orion's countless assumptions concerning the safety of the kingdom.

She couldn’t help it, seeing how her precious son was already thinking about the kingdom he would one day rule.

“There’s no need for you to worry about all that dear.”

“Huh? What do you mean, Mama?”

“You see, everyone understood the reason behind the actions of the three mages.”

“They did?”

“Yes, just like Mama, the three undead mages were equally annoyed by how the celestial beings suddenly decided to start a world war just because they were bored from the mundane activities that occurred in the mortal realm.

The strongest mages from the other six kingdoms and I felt the same way as well and each of us would have killed the celestial beings as well if we had been the one summoned into the celestial realm first.

Besides all this, we couldn’t kill the three undead mages even if we wanted to.”

“Why is that Mama?”

“Because just like us, the undead mages were already adored and respected as the next generation of Gods by their kins. So we decided to live peacefully with each other, and now Mama is friends with two of those undead mages currently residing in the Nether realm, the Queen of the Dead and The Phantom Empress.”
