79 Agathas Secre (2/2)
Agatha felt aghast seeing his face filled with sweat. She only applied very low force on him but his reaction.
”I am sorry,” Agatha hurriedly canceled her powers, ”I rarely use my ability for battle so...”
Agatha apologized and wiped the sweat off his face. But then she noticed a faint smile on his lips.
”You were acting?!” Agatha was incensed. She moved her hand to call her power but he took her chin in his hands to give her a kiss.
”I wasn't lying,” Kiba said after their lips parted.
Agatha gritted her teeth in anger at his shameless behavior.
”Are there more things you have done but didn't remember doing before?” She asked trying her best to not sound annoyed.
”I don't know,” Kiba looked at her in the eyes before continuing,”But trust me I am not lying.”
Agatha didn't know how to react. Was she supposed to be angry or console him?
”I do owe you for changing the report otherwise...” Agatha said a minute later. Rarely would anyone let go a chance for more power.
She carried more powers then she has shown now, and she knew no one would be able to control their greed after knowing her true nature of abilities.
”You don't owe me,” Kiba took two glasses of orange juice a droid has brought. He offered one to Agatha and one to himself.
”Do you know about the nature of my powers?” Agatha asked.
”Yes,” Kiba brought out her gene report and said, ”Your gene has a faint presence of cosmic power.”
Agatha didn't seem surprised but Kiba already knew she has an idea about her abilities.
During the party at White Angel Corporation, he has felt something familiar from her. At that time he didn't think much of it due to their emotional conversation. (Chapter 16)
Now he knew the familiarity was the faint cosmic power inside her.
When they met at the restaurant, he also felt a presence similar to golden lightning from her. This was due to the child inside her but that feeling was different from the one he felt at White Angel Corporation.
Also, before she became pregnant, he never felt the faint cosmic power inside her. He believed the cosmic power was masked. But the changes due to pregnancy removed the mask.
”Her nature of power was hidden just like mine but not any longer,” Kiba thought.
”What are you thinking?” Agatha asked.
”How did you got this power?” Kiba asked but then a moment later he realized he has asked something he shouldn't.
Everyone has few secrets so it was unfair for him to ask hers.
He could never tell anyone about the Cosmic Spark inside his chest.Nor could he reveal the true source of Claudia. The same applied to Section IV as well.
So how could he ask Agatha to reveal her secret after the things he was hiding?
”I am sorry for going overboard,” Kiba apologized.
Agatha looked at him in silence. A minute later she said, ”It is fine. I don't mind answering to you.”
Kiba was startled.
”Why are you so surprised?” Agatha asked with a teasing smile, ”I wouldn't answer if not for the events of the past two weeks.”
”I know,” Kiba took her hands in his and said, ”But only answer if you want to.”
”I want to,” Agatha took a breath of air before starting her story, ”As a kid, I once went to explore BSE79 meteorite along with friends. It was just hanging out instead of a true exploration but...”
”BSE79?” Kiba muttered in surprise.
”Yes, the meteorite where the golden lightning phenomenon took place four years ago,” Agatha confirmed.
Kiba obviously knows the meteorite was explored by people after the minerals were extracted decades ago. It served as an adventure spot along with a great place to feel the mystical nature of the universe.Only he knew how truly horrifying the meteorite was.
”We were just exploring a mining zone in BSE79 when the ground below me shattered and I...” Agatha pressed his hands tightly as he continued,”I was inside what looked like a cave. When I looked around to find ways to leave; I noticed a strange inscription on the wall. I don't know how it happened but after touching the inscription, I found myself in darkness filled with skeletons of unknown races...”
Agatha started shivering when she recalled the darkness and the skeletons.
”There is no need to speak further,” Kiba hugged her tightly. He pretty much knows what she has seen inside. Even he felt a chill down his spine whenever he remembered the forced mining expedition.
”It is fine now,” Agatha calmed down and said, ”Back then I tried to find ways to leave but failed. When I lost the hope, I noticed a small glowing particle inside a skeleton. As soon as I touched that particle I lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in that cave again. Later on, my parents found me...”
Later on, Agatha realized the changes in her body after her ability awakened. She was a kid but even she knew the greedy nature of human beings. This is why she never revealed the details to anyone before.
”She was lucky to only find herself in the outer perimeter,” Kibathought based on the details she told him,”If she has entered that zone then...”
Kiba cleared his mind. He no longer wishes to remember the past.
”I don't like the feeling this power give me,” Agatha clenched her fist tightly as she said, ”It feels like I am the sovereign of this world. The lives around me are nothing but ants offending me with their very presence. I just went to step over them and erase their annoying existence.”
Kiba wasn't surprised by her words. This feeling was due to her being a higher form of life than the rest. It was like the superiority humans have over the livestock and other animals.
”This is why I rarely use my power,” Agatha said with a sigh,”I might have this power but I am a human just like the rest. So how can I let myself hate the fellow humans?”
Kiba didn't reply. The feeling of supremacy and the wish to exterminate the lower lifeforms was countless time stronger inside him.
He was able to suppress this feeling thanks to his strong will but only he knows how difficult it is. It was like fighting against his own basic instincts.
This was also the main reason why he would try to avoid using his full powers.He can barely resist himself from carrying out a genocide...
