Cherreads

Chapter 133 - The end of the road trip

I put everything away into the fake mimic using snow storm. As I do that I prepare flame as a ride. With its soul bound harness it's able to summon its not too hard.

"You know, nobody knows almost anything about the midnight actors guild"

I nod. I mean isn't that obvious.

"So any notable members?"

I finish putting everything away

"the director of course is quite noticeable. Its lead actors, dread of knowledge, flowerfruit, and hand of the goddess."

She blinks

"so that's their true names"

I jump on flame then I lean down offering her my hand. She smiles taking it and I lift her up.

"Yes. I mean its obvious their ranks and all that is based off of a play.... hm there's also the cook, u something. Their quite the unique cook, still better then my cooking at least"

flame gets moving

"I've heard a lot about how bad your cooking is but, I've never actually seen your cooking"

I laugh

"just holding a piece of meat and putting the whole hand into fire is the best cooking I've ever done"

she makes a grossed out face

"and when... did that happen"

I look into the rising sun

"first day on the forgotten shores. I got injured and I freaked out so bad i just stuck my whole hand into fire to cook something to eat. I wasn't very good with getting hurt back then."

She nods

"i would guess you look back at that time fondly"

I turn my head back

"the fuck? No. I hated that time, i hate that time, I will hate that time"

she gets clearly confused

"you have a lot of strong feelings on that time"

I slump down

"yeah. I had nobody to look out for, and nobody to look put for me."

I wave one arm

"simple yes, but simple doesn't mean that I would enjoy it in any way shape or form"

We ride on flame for a few hours. Sometimes talking sometimes staying silent. She asks a lot of questions, they range a lot, from my past, to my goals, to my opinions. Really anything. I don't ask too many questions, she always answers in a odd way that I don't fully understand. Although I do have to wonder, what does her flaw and aspect mean to who she is and who she was. I get the outline of her aspect and I think her flaw has to do with blood, as her aspect also follows that line. As well as her having beast gods blood. Hm I wonder what she would think of noctis as well as the other way around. It would probably be odd on both sides. That does bring up a question. What was up with the chain lords. Was hope a divine titan maybe? Is that why sun god needed seven saints, one for each chain. But why was each similar to one of the gods each. Even the sun prince could be likened to the forgotten god. Both being sealed away, and if it was the ivory dragon, the one representing sun god, that imprisoned sun prince in that metal shell... then what does that mean for what happened to sun god. No, its unlikely it's a close one to one. Still that would be crazy. Hmm. I wonder

"hey seishan, I've got a question"

she looks up

"oh, and what would that be?"

I point to my face

"how do you do makeup?"

She blinks a few times then she snickers

"oh, I really didn't expect that"

oh maybe I should explain

"back when I was awakened i took part in the dreamscape tournament, I remember seeing the maker, I thought their makeup looked cool. I never got the chance to learn, now that I have some free time, I would like to learn"

Later flame jumps up high into the air. I create platforms letting it move through the sky. I look down at the black mountains.

"Seems we are here sovereign heat seeker."

I nod.

"So, if im right you all have known about this creature for some time, anything I should know?"

She glances down a cold look appearing in her eyes yet she stays smiling calmly

"it can control nothing, while not being a nothing creature. Its prone to fleeing from combat, so kill it as fast as possible"

I nod then I jump down. Wind whips my clothes all around me. I slow myself down landing on the ground

I lift my head i lift my dagger stopping a hit inches from my face. I reach my hand out almost catching the swift creature. It's fast, not enough to catch me off guard in any way but still. It humanoid but far too pale, impossibly tall and far too thin. It lifts its hand and fog cones from nowhere. I am heat seeker. I look around the fog. I am the sovereigns of the winter domain. I catch its arm in my hand. I am the monarch of snow. It cracks as I turn it to ice. I let go and the creature falls to the ground.

[You have sla-

I start walking away

[You have obtained a memory]

"Hm? Oh good"

it's always nice to get a memory. Flame lands close by. I lift my hand helping seishan down. Hers god a troubled expression

"it would appear there's some problems with the last sovereign"

oh the heir to heart god seems to be stirring up trouble.

"I'll have some of my strongest soldiers escort you back to ravenheart. I'll have to leave to bastion as soon as possible"

its not been that long since I became a sovereign. I doubt I'm equipped enough to deal with this new threat. Or old threat if I'm being honest.
