Purity is sotis too clear and too perfect that it makes it more terrifying
Because of that she did not mind burying the world because of the person she loves because nothing else matters to her other than this pureness of feeling toward the people she love.
But she has also seen people. More and more people. In these five years in this unfamiliar land, they t many people. Common people. All of them have their own stories.
And in the past Katarina did not care much about other people stories. But with Azief, she is forced to learn
It was like Azief wanted her to learn.... learn to open up to the world. To people.
Like so kind of preparation.
And in her journey as a farr wife, she interacts with people she find it hard to forget.
This is not the only place she had been in these five years.
They create many residences all over the Untainted Land. Sotis, they live in villages, sotis in cities and soti in the capital kingdom of newly established empire.
There is always people.
She rembers a fisherman who would co to a lake every morning to fish near her house. And when this fisherman caught many fish, he would give it to her with a smile.
She rembers a woman who is always a busybody, loud and crude in her words but her heart is sincere and would always share food with her.
She rembers a precocious child who only acted precocious in front of her parents so that her parents would not be sad
She rembers a mother who lost her son and a father who lost his daughter having their own way dealing with their grief.
She rembers a farr that would always complained that he would quit the farming job and wanted to beco a pirate again and sail the Ten Seas before his wife would pull his ears and berate him.
A joy of life, laughter and tears, happiness and sorrow, parting and reunion. These five years are probably the most precious and most lively five years in her life.
Living in her Ice Palace, she had never walked the mortal world since she beco the Ice Queen and since her brother beco the Right Chancellor.
But now that she had stained her feet onto the mortal world, full of mortal tribulations, she find it not so bad.
Azief said it to her one night, she had grown up...a bit.
She looks at Azief and she could not help but sigh
"I just worry that so people would know and take advantage of your current situation" Hearing this Azief only laugh and shakes his head
"When was there a ti that they did not want to take advantage of . Since I sat at such a high position, I should expect it. I don't think you would like a man that complain so much. I already sat at this high position and this is not a position that I could easily vacate. Since I could no longer avoid it, at least I should accept it"
Hearing this Katarina could not help but envy that wife of the pirate turned farr. And she could only sigh
This is life. Sotis, there are things you could not run away from.
Azief is right now in the Untainted Land but there is no one that knows this other than Oreki, Hikigaya and Raymond.
Raymond usually tells everything to Hirate and Oreki and Hikigaya also has their own confidant but Azief is quite sure that they would not dare to break the promise.
Azief made them promise not to tell anyone that he is not there on top of the sky.
Hikigaya and Oreki vowed he would not tell anyone and his promise is bind by the Heavenly Will
As for Raymond, Azief knows that even if he does not make a promise, he would not tell anyone that he is not there in the sky
Because if he does that, he would not be Raymond
He knows exactly what would happen in the world if the news that he is not there on the sky is spread out.
It would not lead to a war like before because Azief has already intimidate the world when he defeated Kaiju. But it would sow the seed for further chaos.
And now, isn't it good? Everyone is behaving and with the sudden change of the world and the world climate, there is many more important things that people should pay attention about
Though, it is not that he is lying.
He has two avatars.
The Avatar of Harmony is probably sitting cross legged in the air near so black hole, trying to understand the concept of harmony and integrate all the laws that is in its being.
As for the Avatar of Chaos he is up there in the sky, watching the formation all over the world stabilizing.
When it is done doing that, his Avatar of Chaos would go all over the Omniverse.
Where he would go is sothing that even Azief don't know.
Azief did not want to use these two avatars unless he is about to be facing a mortal enemy.
And that is why Azief realm right now is only in Seed Forming realm.
If he goes out of this Land, he could at most raise his realm to Disk Formation.
But even though his realm of power is low, the energy of rules and laws surrounded him.
So, it is not like he has no protection at all.
And anyti soone wanted to attack him, Azief could easily summons these two avatars to return. They could traverse literal universes in the speed of thought
It is just that doing that he would break the accumulation of thought, knowledge and experience of the Avatar. What if the avatars are having a breakthrough and he summons his avatar right at that mont?
That would be detrintal to his cultivation of energy and power and to understand the laws and the rules of the Omniverse.
Katarina could see that Azief is about to crease his forehead again and she sighed.
"The world is not that much in a chaos. The pirates are behaving. The world powers are pacifying the people and governing their new territories. As for heroes and villains of the world, they have a whole new world to explore. Those adventurers would also not make problems as there is so many things to discover under the Heavens." She paused for a second
"This is a new Age of Discovery. There would not be too much problem. What about spending a few more years in this land. We could wait until you reach stabilization with your current
realm"
Azief look at Katarina and even though she tries to hide it, Katarina has never been good at hiding her true feelings.
It is not a suitable for such a person to sit in high position. But as a person, Azief like this kind
of person more.
Because with this kind of person, he does not need to think too much nor sche and plots or uses force and power
Honest person words are hard to take but it lets you learn a lot about yourself. She understood
her feeling.
And that is enough
She is worried about him. And that alone touched his heart
"I could not risk it"
"And I could not risk you, trying to kill yourself" Katarina mutters.
Azief holds Katarina hands as she looks at him. The worries is clear on her face but Azief
simply shakes his head
"Since I was the one that made this world like this, then it is only right for to assure the
world"
Hearing this Katarina sigh. For a mont there is silence between them both. Azief enjoy this kind of silence and he closes his eyes.
"Then? What will you do?" the question co a few second after the silence so Azief opens
his eyes
He look at the dark night sky with the moon illuminating the skies and he tilted his ehad. It
seems like he is thinking about sothing
There is a smile on his face
"I would choose so islands near the Free Continent and create my own fortress of
solitude." He said while he chuckles.
Then he added
"Among other things I would do" Katarina heard his words and she understood the
implication.
She would not be there.
Azief has many things he could do with Katarina. But there are also certain things he must do
alone.
Because so of these things is dangerous. Because so of these things involve certain kind
of fate and destiny.
Of cause and effect.
And Katarina should not be connected to these cause and effect
Because when soone is connected to soone cause and effect, it is not that easy to co
out of it.
Azief is still holding that blue crystal.
That is still sothing he wanted to solve
He has always wanted to unravel the mystery of that blue crystal and he believe that if he
could see the knowledge hidden in that blue crystal, the way forward for him to beco stronger would be clear.
Now, Azief is embarking in a new road of strength. He doesn't know if it would work. He is groping the way forward. And the way forward is dark. There would trial and error. But the blue crystal seems to be the crystallization of the Etherna knowledge.
What knowledge would these race that is known as the First Race would record in this crystal?
