Although she displayed a mighty strength, Lilith knew that it was just the beginning; if she beca conceited, then who knows what would happen, she must always be on her guard.
With this ntality, she walked forward always on her guards; however, Lilith didn't encounter any more monsters as she walked towards that light she saw in the distance, and she ca face to face with the thing she previously identified as light it was a small shinning room. White light was coming from this room.
Lilith stopped and took a deep breath, then imdiately went inside the room; the door imdiately closed behind her. The final test was about to begin.
As she entered the small room, she was blinded by a white light, it was so intense that Lilith montarily closed her eyes, and she opened them again. She was in entirely different scenery; she reappeared inside a garden filled with nothing but a white Lily.
In the distance, there was a garden bench. This garden bench was fashioned from a wind-felled tree, the legs being sections of the trunk still clothed in bark, and the top was a fine long plank rendered a deep soulful brown by the varnish. And sitting on this bench was a woman, no calling her a young girl should be the right word; she had long black hair that reached her waist.
The mont Lilith entered, the young girl who had her back facing Lilith spun around and greeted her with a smile; however, Lilith's mind was functioning correctly as this young girl had the sa features as her; it was too much to be a coincidence.
Just as nurous questions were running through the demon's princess mind, the young girl that looked exactly like her beckoned her to co closer, and to her horror, Lilith moved on her own even when she hadn't given the command to move.
'What?' Lilith shouted in her mind; she almost shouted aloud; however, she stopped. The young Lilith looked at her with appraising eyes, she chuckled.
''Not bad, as expected of .''
Boom!
This declaration was like a bomb that exploded inside Lilith's mind; she montarily staggered but continued to walk forward before finally sitting on the bench from across the young Lilith.
The two stared at each other for a mont; the only thing that could be said to be different between them was that the young Lilith had black eyes instead of purple eyes like Lilith, except for this difference, everything else was the sa.
''So you're curious about what's happening?"
Lilith nodded; the situation was too bizarre; although she was able to pierce together a plausible hypothesis, in the end, it was still just a hypothesis; learning the truth from this girl's mouth would help her. Suddenly, a certain soone's figure quickly flashed through Lilith's head.
She froze; she had the feeling that since the beginning, Alex knew sothing; this feeling was intensified when she saw the smile on her younger self.
''Well, to begin, who are you?"
Lilith showed a perplexed look when asked this question. If this person that had the sa face as her was indeed her, she should have known who she was, and yet she still asked her who she was.
''I'm Lilith Eleonora Astaroth.''
Even so, Lilith still answered; however, to her disappointnt, the young Lilith shook her head and said.
''Your answer is half right. That's your current identity. Haven't you been feeling incomplete since the beginning?"
This question made Lilith's body flinch; the young Lilith chuckled and continued.
''I guess you're aware of it. The current you are like a puzzle missing the essential parts to form a perfect puzzle.''
''And you are that part, correct?" Lilith interrupted her younger self and raised this question.
''Bingo, you got it. I'm the missing part, but first of all, you must know your true identity. By now, you must be aware that the thing you previously thought to be precious to your brother was in fact yours.''
To this, Lilith nodded, then she asked a question she had been burning to ask and couldn't wait anymore.
''Did my friends know this?"
The young Lilith didn't imdiately answer; she made a strange face and muttered, ''Friends, huh!"
Then she shrugged her shoulders; this was more than enough for Lilith to get the answer she wanted; she sighed; she couldn't bla them for hiding this from her, although she was a bit upset, she could understand why they did what they did. Maybe if she had known this, she would think they were making fun of her, and maybe she wouldn't be standing here.
Taking a deep breath to control her emotions, Lilith looked at the young girl before her with unwavering eyes.
Finding funny Lilith's behavior, the young Lilith chuckled before asking.
''Have you heard of that battle 250 years ago, the battle that made an entire continent disappear?"
Lilith nodded, although nowadays they tried to conceal it, a selected few knew this, and like royalty, she also heard a little about it.
''Do you know that previously they existed beings called Gods?"
Lilith looked at the young Lilith with weird eyes as if to say; everyone knows this, so why the hell are you asking sothing so obvious? Still, she decided to answer the girl's question, they must be a reason behind such a question, and only by answering, by playing along, would she be able to get the answers she was after.
''Yeah, I heard about them, but they suddenly vanished. Rumor has it that they lost against a terrible being which later cast a curse on our world making impossible for anyone to ever step in the God Realm.'' While explaining this, Lilith carefully observed the young Lilith's reaction as if to check sothing.
However, she was disappointed that she didn't notice anything, either because she was wrong or this person was a master in controlling her emotions.
''Good, not everything has been buried. I shall tell you a bit about them before you receive your inheritance.'' The young Lilith declared before crossing her legs; Lilith decided to listen to her story carefully.
