"what do you mean ? It isn't possible." Panic flashed on six wings's body movements as he was taken a back by her statement.
"'The Crown' has designed you with memories those make you work for him." Lyanna's voice was indifferent, no sign of empathy on her face.
"You are lying because of 'The Crown' wanted just slaves then they would have designed all of us that way instead of giving us memories." He put his palm on his chest." Memories of my past, of my friends, of my history, my family. You are gaslighting me."
"I am not, and because True Reality's Fragments don't allow it that's why you aren't juts mindless machine." Then Lyanna turned to Bluesy.
"Use your brain, forcefully make him get near you, it will work."
"But it will only work if 'Mother' thinks that the angel is going to hurt me." Bluesy protested yet she was already moving toward Six wings, Six wings tried to fly away knowing that verdict will be his death.
However, Bluesy immediately reappeared behind him and yanking his head closer expecting him to be dead but nothing happened, Bluesy wasn't surprised.
Six wings was trying to get free, but Bluesy's grip was too tight, he clutched his teeth but as soon as his bloody palm touched Bluesy's scarf, the scarf began to absorb the blood like a normal cloth would, though the existence was holding its breath. He did it again, Bluesy threw him on the ground, her anger had takem over her usually attitude, her blue tails lowered, going completely still.
Lyanna's calm was replaced by concern not for Bluesy but for the creation of "True Reality's Fragments"
"Bluesy calm down."
Bluesy was staring at the Six wings who was trying to fly again but was unable as one of his back's wings got injured.
"Do you even aware of how important my scarf is to me ?" Bluesy's eyes landed on the bloody spot on her scarf taht just made her furious.
Then Lyanna's body began to release dark blue particals, those were flying toward Bluesy.
"'Identity' stop this." Lyanna's tone was desperate.
As the name escaped the cat's throat, as "Identity" was one of True Reality's Fragments.
Identity teleported both Bluesy and Lyanna from there even though Identity was past many realms, Six wings who was there was crushed by immense gravity pressure, his death was too fast that he didn't even feel anything, the blood instead of staying there was absorbed by the ground, the environment was back it's before state.
Payal who was in her room that the acedamy bad provided as she is chef there, she still was in deep slumber but the. Her eyes began to flutter, there was a marriage sing in her finger as normal people's marriage happen differently then Ruler's.
"It's wasn't reality." She presses her forehead as the memories of the long dream flashed before her eyes, the moments she had with her husband were turned into a dream but instead of her husband being there, Denu was in his place.
"What is this even ?" She tried to stand but her body was not being too supportive toward her movements.
"Why is Denu there ?" She pushed herself forward before leaning toward the bed's frame for support.
"It's so irritating, it's so overwhelming." Her expressions were showing how exhausted she was by everything she just dreamed.
I don't understand this, I care about My Person, yet at the same time.....
She didn't let the the thought complete, she stopped it by hitting her forehead with her palm.
"Fuck." Teh discomfort was intense yet she was unable to do anything about it, It was always like this, whenever she got triggered.
Though her husband was already awake and he was heading to their room through stairs as they both work in the acedamy and the acedamy had provided them a single room because of them being couples. Even after that they had never gotten physical closer even though Payal always cared about him and loved him but his physical touches always made her feel unease.
However, he always tried his best to support her regardless of her behaviour but of course he can't ignore the emotions he felt by her resistance.
He pushed the door inside as he entered her gaze landed on his face, on his messy hairs, on the sweat on his face, on his soft jawline, a quite smile formed on her face.
"The giant serpent died." He stepped closer to her.
"Okay, I feel tired. I will take some rest." She replied then she shifted to lie down on the bed, her husband's gaze landed on her pinky finger where along side the Divine Scar that had pink outline, there also was a cut on her finger, though it was healed.
"How did you cut your finger." He was about to reach for her hand though he pulled his hand back, she noticed it immediately guilt bubbled inside her.
"When I was helping others to make meal knife slipped." She pulled the blanket up to her chin.
"You should have been careful." He sat beside her, then his hand fatiguing as if he was deciding if he should touch her forehead or not, at the end he pushed the thoughts aside and placed his palm on her forehead, as he did that a shiver ran down her spine, she hated herself for feeling uncomfortable by his hands, those hands who held her in their childhood when she had injured her leg, and he had carried her till her house, while she always ran after Denu, he always helped her to get close to Denu even placed silly tricks. Yet, she is feeling this and that makes her feel guilty like a female swan leaving the male swan.
"You have fever." He pulled his hand back, her body relaxed.
"Use." She just said a single word and that was enough to make him understand what she meant.
He placed his palm on her forehead again then white particals began to release from her forehead, his white outline was glowing on his chest but those particals were only relaxing not fixing the fever.
"Keep doing it." She said with a sleepy tone, he stayed there, his palm never leaving her forehead.
Denu's eyes had began to open, Belly was there beside him, already awake shaking his shoulder. Light's Mansion's courtyard hadn't changed, the dead bodies, the blood, lost voices were still there.
In the past where his young self had regain his body, Payal was beside him they standing somewhere to trees but as soon as he saw her.
"What are you doing ?" Denu's young self replied with irritation before he bolted away from her, Payal was stood there confused by the sudden change in his behaviour.
"What happened to him ?"
Back in present.
Denu opened his eyes, Belly didn't let him see the world, she lurched in him hugging him as tight as possible. Denu was partly surprised by her action and partly relieved that he retuned back in present.
"Denu, I had a dream." Her voice cracked, tears forming on corners of her eyes." Dream about myself."
"You look scared. Dreams aren't true." He patted her back trying his best to calm her.
"But...mine was." Her breathing was fast, she was scared, geniunely scared.
"How?" His hand didn't stop strocking her back.
"Everything about my past, that man's face." The horror in her face grew."the experiments, the pain. Everything was true, my dream was true."
Tears fell from her eyes." You know, I was a little girl."
There was a pause, Denu let her fear, her words shrink into his own skin before he asked.
"Who was he ? You never told me about this."
"It was painful, why humans pain is so strong ? Why humans are so selfish ?" She rubbed her eyes on his shoulder, wiping her tears.
"They are, we can't do anything about it." He said softly though he hadn't answered her question properly because he doesn't have one, he felt he was selfish too because he had married her while also knowing about the arrival of devils and the possibility that he might not have stayed alive during the fight. That made his stomach twist even though she wasn't blaming him and all the devils had been killed or disappeared.
"Let's look if everyone is fine." The moment when he was about to push her, gently.
She resisted clighing to him tighter.
"I am scared, Denu."
"No one is going to hurt you." He didn't attempt to pushe her again, understanding her fear.
"What if he comes again."
"No one is coming."
"What If he makes me feel all of that again, I don't want to feel it." She cried, she shook her head in denial.
"Relax, Belly. I am with you. No one will hurt, you, no one is coming." His palm's movements in her back hasn't stopped.
"No, you can't. He is too strong." She pressed her face against quark of his neck.
"That's fine, I will still be with you." He said quietly.
"What if I am in a dream not reality, and it was reality." The thought was too convincing to her and he didn't know how to stop her racing mind, he knew that she was scared, she needs him beside her.
