Chapter 78
Chapter 78
My name is Maitea, I am half Love, half jasmine, and I will die by the age of 20.
Is what master told me to always keep in mind whenever I make a decision. Brother Ba and brother Yo were very angry at him when he told me that, they even called him heartless and mean.
But I don't think he was. Master probably said that so I will live every day how it is, no hate or sadness..... Speaking of memories, master told me that I am a bit special in that aspect.
Because I never forget.
Everything, since I became aware of my surroundings, is deeply engraved in my head. It's a good thing for me though since I don't have much time in this world I should cherish every moment I spend with my family.
Although having a super memory is somehow a blessing, there are some moments I wish I could just erase from my head. Like the times when brother Ba changes my diapers as a baby, I would always ALWAYS pee on him...
I never did it to master or brother Yo, but I clearly recall the feeling of accomplishment and pride I felt when I did that to him. I also remember how brother Ba would become all depressed because he thought that I hated him.
That's embarrassing ,
Well, living a long life isn't really interesting, I am satisfied with whatever I have as long as I had my master and brothers.
I call him master, but he is my uncle, does that make my brothers, my cousins? I didn't meet either of my parents, so all I know is what master told me. He said that my mother was smart and carefree, she fights a lot with their other siblings but care for them at the same time. I can imagine her personality because brother Yo is the same and he always stir troubles wherever he goes. As for my father, I only know that he was a Love.
Master kept searching for a way to help me, although he stopped after meeting with the mister from ice elves' village. Maybe it's because he see my mother in me, master's face when he heard what that mister said looked very sad, very in pain.
" extracting one of her sides is the only way I could find, but.....we will need an imaginary amount of mana, it could be possible if the Emperor is willing to help, otherwise...."
" his majesty tried. He said that little Ma's body rejected his mana, all he could do was to form a barrier with divine mana "
" what about a dragon? If it's them, I am sure they can do something "
" not possible. Lord Sashiko ascended to heaven last Merging moon, and lord Oyzar....I heard his Sin is missing somewhere in hell. with his mind all concerned and worried I don't think it's a good idea to bother him "
" maybe another one will reveal themselves, you know how they always pop and disappear suddenly "
" there was a word travelling about a black dragon in this realm. But when I searched, they have already left long ago "
" you should pour your efforts into making what God has chosen for her be pleasant until the end...hang in there, Riel "
At that time I was very young, the only thing I understood was that master looked sad. So I tried to soothe him, but the only thing came from my mouth was:" ga gogo ba "
What do you expect from 3 months old baby to say?
Well, even after all these years, I still don't understand that conversation. I mean dragons? Are they even real? Through the years, I heard a lot of myths and stories from master however he never told me anything about dragons.
After that, we settled and built our town. Master retired and passed down his position to brother Ba and brother Yo. For eight years later -except for the times when master would beat the shit out of my brothers for causing troubles- we lived a cosy and warm life.
When I turned eight years old, master's master came to visit us. He is the Emperor of the upper regions but I call him grand master.
Grand master was very nice to me, he even showed me how my mother looked when she was a child. She was very pretty, I wished if I had more than just her eyes. After brother Yo returned from an errand, they had a conversation that I didn't understand.
< we will need to put your guardian kid to work, Sabriel >
< Yoon? Isn't it way too early, your majesty?>
< yeah, I know your kid is still immature but we are lacking in guardians at the moment. We even called those who already completed phase >
< by any chance, is it because of the attack on Sterope realm? >
< as expected from the first disciple of my first disciple, you got it right. We received information that that lunatic is aiming for a seed >
< wouldn't it be better to just catch that piece of shit? >
< Yoon! Mind your words >
< that still won't solve the problem. Half of the guardians in Sterope were assassinated, and that guy is so good at hiding, we couldn't detect any traces >
< how- how long would it take until you find a substitute for me? >
< young man, I know you want to stay here for Eleleth's daughter, but this is a serious issue. I personally came to take you for the sake of Sabriel and the little Love.....I will make sure you return before it's too late >
The day after, brother Yo left with the grand master. I was so sad, so heartbroken. Seeing me like that, master made a promise to me. Although people would think he said that to just shut me up, I believed him.
I believed him when he said he will stay with me until the last moment.
I believed him.
But he lied...
