56 Deal of Madness (1/2)
”If you move any closer even in my half dead state I am sure I can kill you, who is worst off than I.”
”What is your name young Guardian? Can you or I recreate everything I destroyed!!? ... No we can not and her condition is going to be the same without me saving her so what will you do now.” I say to the Guardian before me.
She tells me her name Aisha, I then sit a few feet away from the protective girl and her master.
Thinking to to myself if I should just risk it all and kill them both, one of my eyes can still see their essence and that is all I need to erase them. Activating my ability once more will alert her, can she kill me in a instant this I am unsure of. I don't have much time left sleep calls me once again.
Meaning I have to take a gamble in saving that Guardians master, getting up I hear her muffled voice calling me a Child asking if I am strong enough and am I willing to save her master. My hearingalso being affected means I have less time to fix things before I reenter my long sleep, wasting no more time I agree to save Teressa before collapsing into the arms of Aisha.
”Don't go back on your word, you may be born like the True Gods but even I know that you are something else. If you fail to save my master I will hunt you for all eternity! Now tell me what must I do to help you save her!!”
Punching my hand through her chest I smile at her regretful face before pulling it out. ”This will allow you to use my powers and link our minds, what I have given you is a piece of me allowing you to temporarily become my Guardian.” Saying this I fall to the floor unable to move preventing the slumber that tugs at me while showing her what she must do.
She first takes the silver orb from within the dead Creed before bringing it to me, this will give me the required power to do what I must. Taking the orb into my chest both my green eyes shine a dull silver color, once more able to stand on my own I look over to Aisha as the hopeful look on her face makes me turn my head as I head towards Teressa. What did she promise me if I was able to save her master anyway, and how much of information did she gain from me? Does she know what I am.
No she would not allow me near Teressa if she knew of my past, struggling to stand I arrive at the floating body of Teressa. From Crest's memories I know this one broke down mentally after a 'few' years of an endless war that the young candidates fought in, looking through her memories I see no one suitable to inherit it. ”Is this batch another failure? I guess this one will make due for now she is also the one chosen as my opposite this time.” I say as I turn my head back and call Aisha to drag her dying ass over here before I fall into my slumber.
It's a good thing she brought that dead Creed with her, taking out a pulsing green orb from my chest I place it into the dead body of the Creed. As his body starts to disintegrate the body of Crest takes its place, she won't wake up but she is a needed piece for this plan to work. Carrying Crest on my back I place my head against Teressa's, the fastest way to clear her mind of her insanity is to absorb it into myself.
Taking her mind filled with madness and chaos I being absorbing it into my own, as I begin the process the minds of those that lost their life to the Creed surge into my mind. It's no wonder she went insane she tried to create a cycle of rebirth for the many mortals, True Gods and Guardians who lost their lives during the war. The memories, regrets, hatred, sadness, and rage from so many corrupted her mind slowly over the years just before she completed the system.
Impressive maybe I have found someone to Inherit your power after all, as my eyes snap open the link between my mind and Teressa's passes all her burden to me as I try to cleanse her mind of the corruption. Looking at me worried Aisha warnes me to not become like Teressa I laugh at her advice not to look down on her but she doesn't know this little bit of war is not even one percent of what I have went through. Finishing the task before me I can no longer delay what is to come as I sink into my slumber.
As my body begins to return to the Void I tell Aisha that if we ever meet again she can tell me what I failed to hear when I agreed to save Teressa, she does not understand why the Void starts to pour out from me I just smile at her as my eyes shut only to be opened again when I must restart everything again or when my equal Teressa awakens.
Which of these things will happen first does not matter to me I have been repeating this step for so long that I have come to expect it.
