Chapter 1082 The Monster Of The Deep

Back in the real world, a big party is being held and all the villagers both young and old are participating. This party not only celebrates cavio's birthday but also celebrates the glory of the village after successfully going through many dangers together as humans.

It was clear that the party had become very lively which rarely happened, because of that Cavio deliberately created a camouflage barrier to hide the sounds and the light coming from their village and the party lasted all night, meanwhile Arthea and Cavio had to go home to put Demian to sleep because it was already very late. late.

Demian was so tired that he fell asleep even before he got home so that Arthea didn't have to bother putting him to sleep and just put him to sleep in the crib and then covered him, not forgetting he made a shield around the crib. Maybe people said she was too paranoid, but Arthea didn't want to make the same mistake as what happened to her sister-in-law.

​ At the porch, Cavio was sitting comfortably in the wooden chair while drinking his beer slowly before Arthea come and then sat across from him in her rocking chair where she usually sat.

"Did you enjoy the surprise party?" Arthea raised her brows expectantly.

"Yes, thank you" he salute with his wooden beer mug "Though the real surprise is we all managed to get this far" Cavio looked amazed but grateful at the same time.

"Well, indeed" she smile in agreement then she leaned her back on the chair and her eyes darted into the midnight sky.

Cavio glanced at his sister before sipping his cold beer again while looking at the sky which was lit up by the brilliant lights, it look like the Gods spread sparkling dust into a dark velvet blanket it was so beautiful and mesmerizing at the same time.

But then suddenly Cavio broke the silence "You've become more lively recently is something good happened?" Cavio's eyes hid the curiosity in a teasing smile, still, Arthea could easily see through it.

She was a bit hesitant to hide a secret from her brother so she decided to spill a little about what had happened though not all of it cause she was still not ready, "I... have a new friend," she shrugged with a coy smile.

"Oh? Who is this friend?" Cavio's interest deepened, "I don't see you getting close to anyone in the village? is it a man or a woman?" his eyes glint dangerously.

Ever since she was gifted with powers, Arthea finds it harder to get close to others even more so than her brothers but who can blame her, since she is able to predict what happened to peek the future in others, and sometimes she can't stop it even when she tries hard.

As a result, she was burdened with guilt and it would get worse when she was close to that person because of that Arthea always kept a safe distance from the people in the village even though she was always kind and polite to them but she never got close. they are more than necessary, which is why Cavio becomes curious as to who is the person who can bring down her walls, and if it's a man, he needs to make sure if that man is worth it!

Arthea rolls her eyes "It's a kid, a young kid, you don't have to worry" her brother's worry is really unnecessary.

Cavio breathed a sigh of relief but he snapped back, "No, I need to worry!" he suddenly slammed the beer mug on the side table and his expression became tense, "Isn't it already twenty winters, why is my sister still alone, should you get married now?!" too late, Cavio realized that Arthea had been alone for too long she doesn't even have a child yet.

Due to the fact that many people married once they reached the age of majority which is twelve years for women and thirteen years for men in order to maintain human numbers, women were expected to be married as quickly and as many times as possible.

Even so-called married is not like a real marriage that people knew in the future cause the concept of marriage was still foreign to these people, and the marriage cavio mentions it is just a ceremony between a man and a woman or multiple women because there are not many men left because most men will go hunting to provide their group, as a result, many men to die early therefore in this time there are more women than men.

On the contrary, Arthea didn't care about that since she never had any romantic interest in other men and unlike other people, she didn't have the urge to find a companion because she was strong enough on her own besides she feel enough with Cavio and Demian in her live.

"Why are you so worried? I have enough with you and Demian besides... are there any men in our village there to court me?" She raised her brows.

Cavio was stunned and then scratched his head, it was true that everyone treats them like some kinda demi-God because of their power hence no one dares to think that way about them and his wife is a rare exception.

"Fine..." Cavio let go of the matter, at least for now.

"By the way, where did you find this new friend, isn't he part of our village?" he asked further.

Arthea shook her head and smiled "No but he's a good kid and he helped me a lot"

Cavio was perplexed about where Arthea met a young boy outside their village but he trusted Arthea's judgment, therefore, he did not ask any further, besides he doesn't think she will answer honestly but he trust her nonetheless, "Okay, introduce me to him sometime, okay?"

Arthea laughed, she didn't know if the introverted child wanted to get acquainted with her older brother but she just nodded "Yes, someday...~"

They chatted for more and the sound of the party's clamor had eased slightly it seems the party is going to be over soon but all of a sudden the ground where they were standing shook violently causing people to run out of their house with their spouses and child in panic, Arthea and Cavio were shocked for a second then immediately exchange knowing look, immediately their raise their hands into the air instantly the transparent barrier covered the entire village got thicker.

"I go get Demian!" Arthea runs hastily to the house.

"I will check the situation!" Cavio prepared to left.

"Take someone with you, Cavi!" Arthea reminded before pushing the door of their house.

"Okay!" Cavio replied and he ran towards the village then called out to several people who were known to have powerful Gifts to follow him.

The intense shaking made all the beasts agitated, they let out a loud roar and reverberated all over the place giving them chills to weaken beasts, especially the humans but fortunately, the villagers felt more eased after seeing the protective barrier that look much stronger than the normal one had covered the entire village, and not long after Arthea came with long strides while carrying Demian that amazingly is still sleep soundly.

"Lady Lucient!" the terrified villagers immediately felt calmer after seeing Arthea.

"Is anyone hurt?" Ask Arthea.

"No my Lady, everyone is fine!" said Merry the Cook, she was a middle age lady with a plump body and curly red hair that had been tied carelessly behind her head.

"I entrusted Demian to you and told everyone to return to their respective homes, and then all the men and women with gifted power gathered with me at the gate.

"Yes, my Lady! right away my lady!" Merry nodded quickly then shouted over her shoulder "Carlie, come over here!" he called out to her niece also her assistant.

As per Arthea's orders, except for the Gifted people with Gifted powers returned to their homes while Arthea command them to guard the fence while she strengthened the barrier because she saw some beasts flying past their village.

Elsewhere, Cavio and some Gifted people searched for the source of the jolt then find themselves heading toward a wide terrain in the middle of a forest and there they see a large sinkhole appearing out of nowhere.

"What's that?" one of them gasped in bewilderment.

"Is it natural or..." the others looked around warily.

Cavio didn't say anything as he wasn't sure if this was a natural occurrence or something else but to be safe for everyone he kept a safe distance still he needed to get closer to check that sinkhole to know what really happened.

"Everyone stay here, I'll check the holes" Cavio signed them to stay but everyone quickly argued back.

"No, Mister Lucien!" they said almost simultaneously then one of the men who had a rough face covered with a beard and also a bigger stature than most people around him.

"Master Lucient, we all came here to help you so what's the point if you leave us here?" he looks dissatisfied.

"Yeah, anyway if something goes wrong with Master, my mother will scold me before Miss Lucient" added one of them.

"Yes that's Right!" they nod their head in agreement.

"To be honest, we are more afraid of Lady Lucient than you, master so let us accompany you, please!" The youngest of the group said with a pleading look.

Everyone stifled laughter even Cavio couldn't argue with the young man because he was also a bit afraid of his dearest sister.

"Okay, then let's go!...but proceed with cautious" Cavio didn't forget to remind them again.

<strong>"YES!"</strong> they answer simultaneously.
