Chapter 280 - Next Steps to Take (1) (1/2)

”Lili, what's the matter?” I heard Regaleon's voice. ”My love, please wake up.”

I can hear Regaleon calling out to me with a worried tone. My eyelids still felt heavy, but I still tried to open my eyes. The first thing I saw was Regaleon's face, looking at me worriedly.

”L-Leon?” I asked in curiosity as to why he was looking at me worriedly.

”Are you okay, my love?” Regaleon asked. His huge palm cupped my cheek I can feel the heat radiating from his touch.

”Hmm… yes, I think so.” I said doubtful. I tried to remember what happened before waking up, but all was hazy. ”W-What happened?” I asked curiously.

I saw Regaleon sighed in relief. ”You were crying in your sleep that I was worried you are having a nightmare.” He gave me a reassuring smile that all was fine.

”A nightmare?” I asked. ”I think I was dreaming, but I can't seem to remember what it was.”

I knew I had a dream, but even if I tried to recall what I dreamt about, nothing was coming to me.

”Its okay if you cannot remember. I am just relieved you are fine.” Regaleon said. ”Do you remember what happened?”

I tried to remember what happened before waking up, and the first thing that came into mind was the projected map and the dots that represent where the key fragments were hidden.

”I remember the map.” I replied. ”I remember that we saw four red dots and that were the places that the key fragments are hidden.”

”Yes.” Regaleon nodded. ”Anything else?”

I was curious as to why Regaleon was asking me what I remember. But then I realized that it was dark outside, it was nighttime. The projection of the map took place this morning. And so, I had a memory gap from that time until now. And then I remembered the excruciating pain in my head.

”I-I remember blacking out because of the pain in my head.” I said while recalling the events. ”I also so you in pain!”

I was surprised remembering the events this morning and the memory brought back my worried thoughts about Regaleon. I scrambled up in bed and quickly touched his face to check if he was okay.

”Do not worry about me.” Regaleon took one of my hands and kissed the palm. ”I am alright. I also felt the same pain that you have to the brink of losing consciousness as well, but George cancelled the magic from the pendants in time before I passed out.”

”That is a relief.” I sighed in relief. I do not know what to do if something bad happens to Regaleon.

”Tell me, did you hear a voice before passing out?” Regaleon asked.

”A voice?” I looked at him in confusion and shook my head. ”Nothing that I can remember.” I replied.

But I had a feeling that there was something that happened that I cannot seem to remember what. This feeling was itching inside of me, but I cannot seem to do anything about it.

”Why are you asking me? Is there something that happened when I was unconscious?” I asked with curiosity.

And then Regaleon told me everything that happened when I was lying unconscious. He relayed what the voice had said to him. He also told me about George's hypothesis on who the voice came from and what the message meant. I also learned that the two pendants that were once embedded with the Almighty Ones power was now drained, making them ordinary pieces of jewelry.

I was listening intently on Regaleon's words. The voice could have been the Almighty Ones words might be the most possible and the meaning behind the message can be two things.

”So that means that it is either both of us together, consists of being the chosen one or…” I trailed of in thought. ”…our child is the possible chosen one.”

Regaleon nodded in agreement to my words. ”Those two are the only possible interpretation of the message.” He said.
