Chapter 986 Cap 984: From Today, Wherever You Go, I'll Go

When I went to sleep that night, I found myself lost in an illuminated temple, the only colors that repeated were white and gold while an authoritative presence emanated from every corner.

But when I walked through the halls all I heard were horrible words, hate speech, and prejudice.

The statues were crying blood and the pictures looked like they were painted using blood, the furniture looked like it was made of humanoid bones and a smell of rot existed in the air.

Before I realized it I was in front of golden doors that when I opened it I was forced to close my eyes due to the intense brightness, then when I opened my eyes again I was in that garden where I found my sister earlier.

Caitlyn was still in bed, this time she was wearing some sort of bed-print pajamas, the bruises were still etched on her body, but they looked a little better.

My little sister looked like she was having a nightmare, she tossed and turned in bed with a serious face, she didn't notice my presence so she didn't bring me here, I must have gotten here on my own somehow.

I walk over to her and lay down on the bed next to her, then I put my hand on her head and try to sleep, maybe it's because of her childlike appearance, but I remember my time at the orphanage, I remember one of the first times a foster family left me.

At that time it affected me a lot, I was deeply sad since I didn't understand why they abandoned me, I remember going to sleep crying, then I vaguely remember having a nightmare that I didn't remember after I woke up, all I know is that when I opened my eyes two of the older children were sleeping next to me, one of them is cuddling with me on the bed while the other was holding my hand as I was sitting on the edge of the bed.

I remember that moment when I realized that even in the orphanage I had a family, there were others who went through the same thing as me, others who were willing to comfort me even if it wasn't from their families.

​ "Sleep tight..." (I)

I plant a kiss on Caitlyn's forehead as that memory plays in my head, then close my eyes to sleep.

---------------

The next morning I woke up with Ibuki in my bed again, I actually woke up because of her biting my shoulder as she repeated the word meat.

After getting up and taking care of my hygiene, I went to eat something with everyone, nothing better than eating something at a table full of people I like in the morning.

Soon a Spirit in the form of a Wolf came calling me, so I headed towards the World Tree along with my two sisters, my Familiars, Loki, and for some reason Karina who wanted to come along.

When we got there Lorraine, Ellyana, and Elly were waiting, there was a circle of colored stones in the garden in a large area which the 3 were inside.

When we got there I greeted them, then spoke to them to confirm once again what we discussed yesterday, it was at that moment that Loki stepped forward and called Karina to tell her the reason for coming.

I look at the center of the large circle where a rainbow-colored crystal was placed, the crystal was large reaching over 10 meters in height, and I could see a large silhouette in there against the light.

As I looked at that crystal I listened to Loki talking before diverting my eyes to her.

"I hope you will grant that request." (Loki)

"Fine, I don't mind using one of the Dragon Seals here, but do you know what that means?" (I)

"Of course, but it won't change anything in the end, I was going to follow you anyway." (Loki)

"Besides, serving you is very easy, you let everyone do what they want." (Loki)

"But you were once a God and I'm sure you could be one again if you really wanted to." (I)

"Being God is a lot of responsibility and rules, what's the use of having so much power and feeling bored all the time?" (Loki)

"But will your friend agree with you?" (I)

"For her it would be best, connecting the two of us through the same Dragon Seal like two halves of a coin." (Loki)

"He would be the anchor she needs to be in this world, that could work really well." (Lorraine)

"(I am no longer a god, a simple mortal life would be better than disappearing and I would be fulfilling an old debt.)"

"If everyone is in agreement then I accept it, it's not like I've already thought about how to use these Dragon Seals anyway." (I)

I own 4 Dragon Seals, I already read about them in the little book Arash left behind before he left, I know what they do and how to use them, I can use them without an Awakening Ceremony, but using them in a greatly increases more its effect.

I looked around and didn't see the transparent silhouette that Loki's friend wears, but since I heard her voice in my mind like before, I think she's speaking from inside the crystal this time.

"As everything has already been said, then we must begin, we removed her from inside the World Tree, staying too long like this could harm her condition." (Ellyana)

"I will stay out as my presence might interfere." (Lorraine)

Saying that, Lorraine disappears without a trace, it was at that moment when I looked around that I noticed many distant silhouettes watching, I realized that it was Fairies and Spirits watching from afar.

"They're just curious, don't worry." (Elly)

"All good." (I)

I look back as I wave everyone away, my sisters and Familiars step outside the circle of stones, and the White Elf Queen and the World Tree Spirit do the same, that leaves only Loki and Karina beside me as we approach the large crystal in the center.

I stand a little way back from the crystal as Loki continues to approach until he's right to the side so everyone is positioned to start.

"You know how to do?" (I)

"Yes, for me it's almost instinctual." (Karina)

"So let's start." (I)
