213 A Strange Family Meeting (1/2)

Alicia's vision was already dark. But the familiar aura, scent, and gentle words were something she would never forget no matter which life she was in. This was undoubtedly her mother. Her mother had come to see her! All her worry and desperation vanished as she gave in to the tiredness of her body and drifted off to sleep.

The woman floating in the air looked down warmly at the little girl in her arms. ”I finally got to hear your voice.” Tears rolled down the woman's cheeks as she gently hugged Alicia. The warm and kind expression on her face showed how deeply she cared for the girl in her arms. She looked up to see two figures appearing in front of her. Her eyes narrowed at the two old men. The space around them suddenly seemed to be blocked off from any outside interference.

”Young Miss, it seems you have been tampering with this world a lot recently.” One of the old men said. He had a long white beard that he stroked as he spoke.

”I am only making sure my daughter has a good life. Is there something wrong with that? Did I interfere during the war?” The women asked. She showed no fear towards the two old men.

”Hoho! So this little girl is yours then? Hmmm? Her soul shows she is not of pure blood but the other mix is also very ancient, maybe even more ancient than your own...” The old man's eyes showed a bit of surprise. He then turned his gaze back to the woman. ”The family would like you to return. You can also bring your daughter. Her strength alone, at her age, is enough to be at the top of the younger generation.”

”I can not return and neither will she unless she so chooses to when she gets older. For now, she will grow in this world. Although her soul may be of the celestial race it still takes time for a mortal body to change. But this girl keeps overexerting her powers making the fusions too fast. Which will cause complications later...” The woman's eyes showed a hint of worry.

”Young Miss, If you would like I will stay in this world and watch over her. You should rest. Sending a projection of yourself through time and space will shorten your lifespan by millions of years! At this rate, you will not be able to ascend!” The old man was truly worried about the woman in front of him. She was the young miss of their clan. She was to inherit the entire clan in the future.

”I know… I will take you up on your offer, but you must promise me to not force her to go anywhere unless she is willing.” The woman said seriously.

”This old man gives his word. I will watch over her and help her if she runs into a situation like this again. Old Fen, give some power back to the Young Miss. It will help offset this time's projection.” The old man said to the old man standing at his side.

Old Fen nodded his head and placed his hand on the woman's head sending a burst of power into her body. ”Young Miss, please try to make it back within a few million years.”

”Mmm… It won't even take that long. I plan to be back within a thousand years. At that time I will bring Akari with me. Tell the clan head… my father, I will visit soon. But he must remember us Celestials are nomads.” The woman replied.
