Will of chaos-Chapter 1680: Cap 1678: That’s Life Part 4

Pov Niryna:

I was facing a cocoon of Runes made with black flames emanating the power of death, this thing was the size of a continent and inside was the Anomalous Dragon that I had been facing a few minutes ago.

But even though my eyes were turned to this strange Cocoon of pure energy, that was not the image passing through my mind or the mind of the one next to me.

Luci was covered in sweat and tears were streaming from her eyes, her Aura uncontrolled in a mixture of emotions, but honestly I didn’t realize that until now since Zenos was so injured that I didn’t care about anything around me.

"It seems he survived." (me)

Sigh

"(His condition is still not good, he could die...)" (Callidora)

"Don’t lie to me, I can see the change in Tarzor’s natural energy flows even through Luci’s power, he is treating Zenos’ injuries, he wouldn’t let Zenos die." (me)

Knowing that Zenos would be safe, I finally allowed myself the luxury of thinking about those around me, remembering how Hades was in a strange state and how Xagar was Cursed.

But I didn’t think about it any deeper, the ones who would be the ones to treat those two would be Samara and Silvia, there was no reason for someone who had never studied healing to get involved in this.

"Are you okay?" (me)

"..." (Luci)

Tears Tears

Tears

"..." (me)

"(I suppose not...)" (me)

Seeing that all of your family are trapped or dead must be hard, I at least had the orphans before I died on Earth, even if I fell into hell, it wasn’t so bad for the certainty given that children were alive, I never truly experienced losing everything I loved.

"(Why did you want to show her this?)" (me)

"(We needed the power of her eyes to see, I can’t resort to my power for these little things, every action of mine draws attention that you can’t afford to offend now.)" (Callidora)

"(That’s why I taught her how to bypass Tarzor’s dimensional defenses at least with her perception, thanks to that I saw some very interesting things... hahaha...)" (Callidora)

Callidora doesn’t care at all about Luci’s condition, for her everyone is a toy and a tool for her amusement, but I’m not her.

"Are you okay?" (me)

"No... but I’ll stay..." (Luci)

Tears Tears

Sigh

Tears

She breathes heavily, but I can’t let her get too far away, the illusion I’ve placed around us would shatter if she wasn’t around.

I see her wipe the tears from her face as she takes a deep breath, then her Aura becomes calmer as the effect of her abilities fades, her eyes locked once more on the Energy Cocoons and Flaming Runes on our sick woman.

"I need to find Zenos, I don’t know all the effects of these Runes, I can only guess a few things..." (Luci)

"This is a Rebirth Cocoon, their bodies, Souls and power are being destroyed, all impurities purged before something I don’t understand happens." (Callidora)

Callidora emerges from within my body, the smile on her face completely ignoring Luci’s feelings beside me, her attention completely focused on the energy cocoon with the flaming Runes as if it were a work of art to be appreciated.

"Can’t you read the rest of the Runes?" (me)

"These are not Spiritual Runes, their meaning is not written in their form, it is implicit in their structure itself, it was not made to be understood, a Concept cannot be fully understood, this is not even a true Rune, just an expression of a concept that happened to take the form of Runes for some reason." (Callidora)

"The concept contained seems to be that of ’Death’ for some reason, but I don’t fully recognize it, it has fascinating divergences..." (Callidora)

"So they are dead?" (Luci)

"Yes, they’re dead..." (Callidora)

"They’re not dead, if this cocoon was only to kill them, then it would have already fulfilled its function, besides, Zenos needs the Anomalous Dragons alive for what he seeks to do against the Ascendants." (me)

"..." (Luci)

"I see..." (Luci)

I felt the murderous intent spring from her momentarily, Callidora must know more than she’s saying and by the smile on her face now this must have been her wish, a test for me.

"(Don’t look at me like that, daughter.)" (Callidora)

"(You need to learn to assert yourself more, I just wanted to test a little and I was happy with your reaction.)" (Callidora)

"..." (me)

I always need to be on my guard against her, I know she wouldn’t do anything to me and maybe she won’t do anything to Zenos, but her intentions are always too obscure to fully understand.

Pov Mavis:

I continue with my hand extended with the Flower of Life in bloom, waiting for Lolth’s decision. The choice must be hers and, as expected, she chose quickly.

"..." (Lolth)

"..." (me)

She extends her hand and grabs the flower, whose thorns sprout from its stem, hurting her fingers that still refuse to let go of the flower.

"Aaahhh!!!" (Lolth)

She ignores the pain and holds the flower beautifully as its petals shine brighter and brighter. Waves of light flow to her through her arm and take over her entire body. Then this light takes shape around her, creating petals of white light around her that illuminate even more.

I look up. The three spheres that represent the power of Dragons, Demons, and Elves have stopped repelling each other as before.

The entire space begins to collapse as the light intensifies, taking Lolth’s mind alive. I smile as I open my eyes in my true body.

I look at Lolth, whose body is also surrounded by petals of white light. I then turn to where Sarazar’s body was. He disappeared, leaving only the misshapen body of an Anomalous Dragon behind.

"Whose body is this and why hasn’t it been affected by Kalistos’ power?" (me)

"This is Arsan’s body. I can’t say why it hasn’t been affected when all the other Anomalous Dragons have already been affected." (Tarzor)

Tarzor appears nearby, forming a Dragon’s face as he deforms space. He knows everything that happens in this space, and that’s why he was the best one to answer my questions.

As soon as he showed himself, Magic Circles and Spiritual Runes appeared around Arsan’s body. But they weren’t my sister’s power, but Tarzor’s own power.

"I will seal him for now and let Zenos decide what to do with him later." (Tarzor)

"How is he?" (me)

"Horrible, but alive..." (Tarzor)

"Then he will be fine, while there is life, there will be hope." (me)

I shift my eyes back to Lolth, I could feel the changes now, her body was completely healed and her 3 powers were merging as they should have been from the beginning.

"(It seems he understood the basics of Life, now comes the real choice.)" (me)

"I see... so that was the change..." (me)

As I looked at her, I could see the concept of life in action, it helped me see the changes from that concept to the one I knew, its scope was still huge, but its core was different as it became centered instead of broad.

The concept of life is large, second only to creation itself, complex in its simplicity by its infinite ramifications, a second chance is something many have throughout life, just a part of life.

But this concept is different, a second chance to be born, not reborn, not to transform what you are, but to be born into your true self, a life generated by your acceptance of yourself and a Will to liberate yourself.

An awakening of the true self, interesting, a second chance to be truly born, very interesting the implications of such a concept and its applications in all creation.

I couldn’t help but smile at the possibilities passing through my mind, but I couldn’t help but notice that Lolth had reached the crossroads of choices.

"Choose wisely, life doesn’t always give you a second chance... especially a second chance like this..." (me)

"Will you accept only your power and follow as you have made your path, being a Dragon Goddess who embraces nature?" (me)

"You can also choose, accept the power you have always had, the power of Life with which you were born and from which you nourished your power of nature, embrace all that you were, all that you have become and seek to embrace your true childhood desire, to nourish life with love." (me)

"One of these paths will give you only power and freedom to do whatever you want, but the other choice will be like surrendering yourself to an eternal responsibility by my side, a responsibility that even I cannot foresee where it will lead." (me)

"What will you choose... Lolth?" (me)

With each word that leaves my lips the lights of the flower that submerges Lolth intensify until in the end they are so bright that their glow illuminates a large part of Tarzor emanating life everywhere.

My words travel not to Lolth’s ears, but to her own Soul touching the spark of her Existence directly, resonating with her in a state where it is not the words she is hearing and without the true intention of their meaning.

"(Life is made of choices and at certain moments these choices can lead to such different paths... that is the true beauty of the mystery of life.)" (me)
