56 Values (1/2)
Demetria was going to say something when Aiden held her hands and stopped her. He turned towards the source of voice and said, ”We don't understand what you are trying to say.”
”It is very simple, you see. Give me the child of you and that wrench, and everyone lives.”
”You have no authority to badmouth my wife.” Aiden was extremely angry and soon the temperature of the entire mountain went down. It was so bone chilling cold that the ice-dragons felt themselves shivering in the sheer coldness of the mountains.
Olympia, on the other hand, felt comfortable. A cocoon of mist surrounded her as she sat all alone in the room. She felt something inside her wanting to come out. A faint silhouette appeared in front of her eyes and said, ”Do you wish to defeat them?”
”Yes.” She looked at the silhouette meekly. She knew that it won't hurt her. She felt a connection with the silhouette. With her beautiful heterochromatic eyes, she looked at the silhouette of a woman in front of her.
”Answer me three question, and I shall show you the path. Do you agree to that?”
”What, according to you, is the most difficult thing in the whole world?”
”Making choices.”
”Hahaha, good answer, young girl. Then, tell me what would you do if you were in their place?”
”Protect that person.”
”What is the most idealistic value according to you?”
”Kinship and loyalty.”
”What if others plotted against you?”
”That's more than three questions, but I will answer it. I would definitely punish or kill them.”
”Last question. Would you do the same to your kin?”
”If they break loyalty and trust, then they would no longer be my kin.”
”You are indeed wise, as they said. Now it is my turn to help you.” The silhouette said, looking meaningfully at Olympia. ”The powers are inside you. Here…” The silhouette pointed at her heart as she said that. Olympia looked at her heart and looked back at the silhouette confusedly.
”I don't understand.” Olympia said.
”Under the most dire situation, you will receive the power to fight against what you want to fight, and protect what you want to protect.”
”What does that mean?” Olympia asked, looking at her unblinkingly.
