Chapter 94 - 94: Fin Diin Golt Do Keizaal (1/2)
”Ok, you are here now, What do you want?”
”You already know what I want, so stop stalling and let's get down to business”, Alex's smile disappeared as he put on a serious expression.
”Cronlar, the home planet of Mournomon, why would he ever want to go back to a place that gave him such torment”, Yris said with a confused expression, ”He might regret not burning it in its entirety, but going back now will have no purpose”
”What do you mean?”, Alex asked confused by her words, 'No purpose, why would there be no purpose in burning away all the corruption once in for all.'
”Well since you left, thousands of years have already passed on that planet as it is in a different time frame than the DXD earth, to put it more accurately exactly 18347 years have passed since Mournomons passing, the world has changed a lot and it might surprise you to know that even though you died, you left a deep shadow in the hearts of men. After the last kingdom you wiped from the face of the planet, it was like the final straw that broke that camel's back, men started suppressing their dark dėsɨrės, and with a few generations mankind returned to the way they were before the world war.”
Alex became silent, as he took in the goddess's words. Cronlar changed? He could hardly believe it, no he could not believe it. Thousands of years of burning and intimidating without results but only after his last breath were there any results. He did not know what to feel, happy for the restoration of his home planet or bitter in the fact that he could not enjoy the peace he had given evrything to achieve.
'What now?', Alex asked himself or more specifically Mournomon that was currently sitting in his mindscape with a lifeless look on him. The dragon gave a bitter smile as he spoke in a self-deprecating tone, ”What do you mean what now, the planet is no longer a place that I can just burn with a clear conscience.”
”She might be lying”, Mythander said, he was currently sitting on the ground of the mindscape meditating.
Mournomon shook his head at Mythanders words, ”Yris is many things, but a lier, she is not.”, the dragon was silent for a long time before he finally spoke, ”I want to see it.No, I must see it!”, he said, his voice filled with longing, a burning dėsɨrė to finally see what kind of paradise Cronlar could be, not only to free his pained heart but to know that he did right by all those who died during his fight. He needed to bury this dark past and look once again towards the light, something he has lost when he was just a little drake, taking his first breaths of air and exhaling his first dragon's fire.
”Yris, let me go to Cronlar, I want to see what has become of it”, Alex asked, he did not demand nor did he force, he was asking her, as any other action would be against who he is, while also sweeping the part about forcefully bursting into her divine realm under the rug, he would admit he might have been a tad bit too forcefully, but wats done is done, as an ancient monster he would not let trivial matters plague him.
Yris's facial muscles twitched when she heard his soft tone while asking her to do him a favor, 'Realy now you ask!', she shouted in her mind while also forgetting that she would have never let him enter this divine realm had he not forcefully came.
Still being a goddess she was reasonable and not one to bear a grudge... for too long. ”I will send you to Cronlar, but you must first complete a trial.”
”What trial, what must I do, and why won't you just let me go, it's not as if it will cost you much at most it will cost you a swing of your hand and a minuscule amount of power, which you will regain in an instant.”
”It's not that I don't want to immediately send you off and be done with it, it may be hard to believe but this isn't my divine real, hell, I'm more of a prisoner here if anything. The one who made it did give me a certain degree of power over it but I can only do so by following his rules and one of them is I have to give you a trial.”
