31 CHAPTER 31: Im still with you...hero (1/2)
Afterwards, Mai and Arseia moved at a certain inn. Though, the male inn-keeper was shocked, as he saw Mai and Arseia, since the two of them were very beautiful women that stand-out amongst the crowd. The inn-keeper was frozen in their awesome appearances although, Arseia just asked for a room for her and her companion complacently. The inn-keeper gave them the room key in a jiffy, without uttering any other word. It would seem his eyes had laid upon such Goddesses, although in truth the two of them were associated as Goddesses, even though Mai was stripped of her divine status and powers. Mai and Arseia settled at the room given to them. The room was clad in a very simple look that'd be enough for any adventurer. Mai sat at the clean bed and said,
”So what is it you want to talk about?”.
Arseia moved over and took a seat beside Mai. Then, Arseia says,
”First...I'll show you this...”.
Arseia brought out some kind of sphere-like contraption, floating without any presence of gravity pulling it down. It was devoid of any color, as it was clearly transparent such as a crystal ball in any fantasy world. Mai was surprised, since she was quite familiar with the object Arseia had brought out, making Mai to say with an excited look on her face,
”That's the light and darkness orbal reader...”.
Arseia gave it a gentle touch. Soon, the crystal sphere illuminated a vibrant divine white glow, that proved to be a ball of light that'd shatter any kind of darkness. Though, there was a dark miasma spewing out its immense abyssal air around it, in which the blend of light and darkness were very chaotic to ever laid eyes upon. Mai's eyes were shocked, as she saw the sphere acting very unusual, turning her to say with a curious look on her face,
”How is that possible?!”
”The light is so strong yet it's releasing immense darkness from it?!”
”This is the first I have witnessed something like this...”
”What's going on with Goddess Ange's light?”
”Why is it also letting out darkness?”.
As Arseia heard Mai's words filled with doubt, Arseia explains to Mai to get rid off any kind of doubts,
”Meaning...the light from GODDESS ANGEHIME is so strong yet...”
”It lets out darkness...due to her actions upon her world...”
”The normal case is that...light should only be visible on the FIRST TOUCH...and not like this...”.
Mai nodded, as she understood what Arseia had said. Mai sighed with a stressed look on her face since, she was quite convinced of the anomalies and grave conflicts going-on, that the very light Goddess was letting them occur for some reason. A little while later, she asks one more question,
”And what about the darkness from GODDESS RUHIME?”.
Arseia replies,
”Wait for a moment...”.
She touched the crystal ball for a second time. Suddenly, the very darkness that was spewed out from before was leaking out some cracks of fading and glowing light. Mai was surprised but, she was looking kinda wishful of something and she was very much convinced of the whole thing, making her to say,
”No way!”

”From the DARKNESS it's creating cracks of light?!”
”That would only mean...”
”ANGEHIME is now the DARK GODDESS and RUHIME is becoming the LIGHT GODDESS right!?”.
Arseia knacked out a humorous smile, as she heard Mai's comment. Though, soon enough, Arseia denied Mai's assumptions and she said her retort afterwards, that was filled with some hints,
”Partially yes and no...”
”Ruhime is still the dark Goddess but she is like...containing the immense darkness that Angehime is creating...”.
Mai agreed and she asks more,
”I see...and Zen err I mean...Zeran Noah Aether is supporting Ru's cause?”.
Arseia cracked out very funny expression, as she heard her own son into the mix. She calmed down later on and said with a soothing voice that seemed to have a few hints again due to her emphasized tone,
”Hmmm partially yes...”
”But I think it's more COMPLEX than that...”.
For some reason, Mai was seeing that Arseia was wearing an interesting smile of sorts, such as she seemed to be very fond of Zeran being with Ru somehow. Mai was baffled that a seed of jealousy was starting to grow inside of her. Soon, she uttered out her words filled with grave seriousness,
”So...why are you telling me this?”
”Instead of your son?”
”Or Ru?”.
The air became chilling cold and the candle at the desk withered out its flame. It seemed Mai noticed that there was something wrong in the atmosphere after she spilt those dire words. Arseia looked up for a second. Though, she looked at Mai directly afterwards. Then, Arseia let out her words, while she was smiling, even though her words were filled with dire constraints,
”It's because...those two are in a pinch...”
”I can't interfere directly on the course of this world, since I'm not under any jurisdiction to do so...So you're my only choice...”
”Oh and don't worry...you'll be greatly rewarded too if you'll be able to fix this problem...”.
Mai sighed and closed her eyes. She held her forehead, deciding on what to do next. She thought that it might be a great opportunity to redeem herself from failing on becoming a hero, so she was convinced to take on the offer from the Reincarnation Goddess Arseia. Mai had stopped from delving in her thoughts. She opened her eyes, looked at Arseia with her determined eyes and she says with an eager smile,
