[Don’t get cocky because you cracked one pocket world!]
[I cracked what you failed at, hahahaha!]
[Damn you! Do you think you are so special dude? Wake up! This is the vast universe we are talking about here]
[You don’t know this yet, don’t you?] I paused on purpose, for a long minute, before adding, [I got a race, one special race that can control ti just like myself]
[This…]
[So, if you want my help, you can. But you’ll have to pay at least double that. If you want just anyone with ti ability, then it’s fine. Pay and I’ll send one to you after ending my business here]
Who said I was the only one with ti ability in my kingdom? I got an entire race of descendants who could control ti.
Sending just one would finalise this deal. But for a reason, I wanted to start venturing outside the vast universe.
I got enough power and backing to control my apocalypse cluster. I knew it was a hard and long tedious journey, but it was feasible as well.
So why wouldn’t I start working on and aiming for a bigger stage?
How was the outside universe? That was a question I never got an answer to.
I got one chance before to get to the Bringold impact eting. Yet I was too young and naive, inexperienced enough to appreciate such a chance.
So why wouldn’t I go out there and help this dude? In return for that, I might gain lots of treasures and forces as well.
But who said going out there would be the sa as sending one of my boys out?
[Humph! Who said I need you? Send that dude over when you got the paynt]
[Ok, but don’t regret it later on]
[Regret what? Kiddo, you are speaking with a sovereign of the Toranks race! I’m not that weak or powerless]
[I know, but I’m just saying]
[Screw you! I’ll prepare your fees and you got to be ready with that dude]
[As you wish]
I acted in such a way to make him question his odds there. He once went inside and failed. So he knew better than anyone the magnitude of challenges waiting for him inside.
If he had full confidence about doing it, then he’d just settle with one of my boys. And it wouldn’t cost anything much. I’d just have to send one dude over, and that was all.
But sothing told he wasn’t that sure. And that made push more doubt into himself.
Anyway, I have lots of ti before I’d do anything like this. And during that ti, I decided to rest and not care about anything else.
“How is she?” After three days of travelling and constant sleeping, I finally woke up and got a chance to go and check on my chick.
She wasn’t alone. The two others seed to care too much about her, even moving two beds and stuffed the room with them.
There was no space for a foot inside right now. So I had to stop at the entrance and ask while the two were seemingly lost in their thoughts.
They didn’t look any better to . And it seed they’d take more than what I expected to get better.
“She is still asleep,” Angelica said, “how are you by the way?”
“I’m fine,” I looked over at my chick. She was sleeping like a real princess in fairy tales, waiting for her prince charming to co and save her.
Sigh! I killed everyone of my enemies in that place, and ruined the weapon. So why wouldn’t she wake up yet?
“Where are we going?” Lily suddenly moved as she added, “I want to get back to work.”
“Right now?!!” that was sudden, “you need to rest. Your man is doing just fine.”
“You didn’t go there to check on him yet. How do you know he is doing that good?” She stood in front of at the door entrance, making take a step back.
Her words told she was fine. But her eyes told a different story.
“If you went there and weren’t ready, then…”
“Don’t worry, only by working can I forget about what I saw inside.”
“What did you see?” I moved my eyes between the two girls, “what exactly happened in there?”
“…”
And as I asked, all I got was pure silence.
Before I’d sign in such helpless way and decided to drop the matter, Angelica suddenly said:
“I saw Earth getting devastated, not just like the apocalypse we got. It’s… It was sothing different.”
“ too,” Lily nodded in such a weak way, “I saw my people got slaughtered, you got killed, and everything I held dear to my heart got ruined.”
“By whom?”
“By invaders,” the two said at the sa ti, “weird looking races that were so damn mighty and violent. All is caused by us, everything started with getting into that damn pocket world! I hate this place! Hate it to the bones! I don’t know how I was so deeply enchanted with going there. Costics? Screw that word! I will never put a single speck of makeup on my face ever again!”
“ too!”
The two girls said and nodded to each other, and I could only sigh inwardly while watching them.
What could I do or say but to let them vent everything in their own way and words?
“Fine, get so rest before returning to work,” I said to Lily, trying to cut the path on her to return.
“No, let get myself busy with work,” yet she was quite stubborn. “It won’t take much from you. Just drop back and return to doing whatever you are doing right now.”
I glared up at her and she stared back at . “On one condition though,” I paused, “promise to not overdo it.”
“I can’t,” yet she didn’t even lie and say she would, “I… I have to lose myself at work. It’s the only way I got.”
