Chapter 189: Responsibility
Leaving the forest he gave me an amulet, and as I held onto it tight, it was a mixed jade with two different links, and I couldn't be any happier, I wanted to tell the others.
But at the same time, putting it on, I wasn't. Because it's going to be my little secret for right now, an only for me.
Because I can only have two links, and I haven't chosen any yet, there was a requirement to use it besides using mana, but it was minor and my connections added to it.
Now, I'm treasuring it as it's worth more then anything to me. And as I looked at it, mixed lime green and purple, it is really cute too, I should draw something small on it~?
Going inside, I was thinking of who I should contact first as one of them were destined for a certain realm where I can only choose between A few, while the other varies.
But as I walked in, I saw as the girls were at the table and talking, and walking over to them, I smiled and put up my hand saying hello, Autumn did it back, but they more or less didn't look at me...Are they mad at me?
But as I was thinking that, Autumn gestured me to sit and glancing at the table, words popped up in front of me as the other two were talking, oh, is this a meeting?
. . .Half An Hour Later. . .
Reading their conversation, they were talking about a report they had to turn in, and when asking who would go, I offered to but looking at me, I was then scolded?
I don't know why Alison was so upset, but from what I got, I'm not allowed to be known, because the coven has no clue who I am, and if a higher up knew, I'd be taken?
I got really confused when they said that, but I do get it.
Contemplating what I know about witches and warlocks alike, they value their secrets above their own lives, so if I just pop in, I could pose as a possible threat and or a spy from some other coven across the forest or nearby territory.
Therefore it was a risk they didn't want to take.
Yet at the same time, I'm curious about their coven.
So as the others were talking, [Shapeshift], transforming into Mella, or at least taking her form in front of them, I looked to the others as doing this gathered their attention.
"This is who I used to be~ Now I have a question, take me along with you, it's more of a request, but I can act as a representative of the sheep rock's coven~" and as they looked at me, glancing at the words I said.
I continued with, "Hi, I'm Mella Cranes~ younger sister of the Saint Shadow Witch Saradonwitch and Bella Cranes," saying this to them, their mouths fucking dropped.
Glancing at them and sitting there sweetly, I smiled back before it became sinister, "But they're apart of my past life, so there's no use in explaining all of that, heh~" chuckling, they looked at me, and slapping her own face again, Athena looked at me still dumbfounded and said, "You could've done the same thing as you, you know?"
She said and, wow! I didn't even know I could do that!
I guess I got too lost in this little identity roleplay~?
Becoming bigger and switching out of it in a magical haze, I sighed and looked back at them, "Okay, so I'm going to do the same thing but as Aster Hiragi then~"
Smiling, Athena let out a groan and looking at her, I barely even saw her before she grabbed my face and pinched it, "Pourquoi avez-vous attendu pour nous dire que vous pouvez le faire maintenant!" she yelled at me. And pinching my cheeks as she violently shook my head, "Wait! I can explain! Stop being so violent!"
Pleading for my life was no use...
She was vengeance...
Yeah...
. . . . . .
Rubbing my cheek after she calmed down, I read what she had said earlier and told her, as it was irrelevant for me to tell them I could Shapeshift, but I got pinched...
Again.
Now conflicted over this, they agreed to take me, and the one who I was going to be going with along on this journey to the witches' coven, was strangely Alison.
I'm saying this because I thought I would go with either Athena who was like our leader I guess or Autumn who seemed to be more reasonable when around others.
No offense, but I don't know much about Alison.
And leaving the house an hour after the meeting, we started walking.
. . . . .
Walking on some path 15 minutes after going through the forest, "Why're we walking?" I asked and looking at me, she tilted her head, and I forgot we couldn't talk. . .
So gesturing it, she did the same thing back, but with a lot of malicious intent, she didn't seem to want to keep the head coven quickly informed, I guess it's spite? Lol.
Walking with her I organized myself/status just in case, and with a little list in my mind, I went over the losses and the gains, there wasn't really much for the gains but in the loss department, there was a whole bunch I'm about to list out.
Like my rank, I was a Rank 4 before I died, and it took a whole 3 years to get that far, yet even though I lost it I'm currently sitting at Rank 2, my cultivation is stronger in the dark realm as it took a single night to rank up.
The only thing about rank that matters to me is the skills I inherently learn about incubism, I barely comprehended Rank 4 as I was just getting to Rank 3 earlier this year.
But even then, they're too useful, in Rank 2 my body becomes more of a weapon like in the legends and old stories, I can finally fight back while I'm unarmed. And also without magic as it's more of a physical ability.
And in Rank 3 I'm finally able to seduce without having to overuse charm, which just directs their hidden lust out and focuses it, either on me or who's around them.
In Rank 3, I learned: Enslavement Kiss, Hypnosis, and even Hypnotic Voice which is a Mental Inducement to others outside of my kin and another race. And then there's Direct Inducement, it's like ecstasy to everyone.
It's all meant for seduction and persuasion though.
In Rank 4 I honestly don't know? I feel like it's some sort of power boost, both physically and magically, but at the same time it's also something I never really got to, but it is still a major power boost, and I need to reach it again, quickly.
And that's only for my rank, my physical power went down by three folds and my demonic magic and the normal sorcery I have went to almost nonexistent in power, plus the amount I can use was also stripped.
But I've already recovered a third of my original power.
And I can use all the skills I learned from my last life.
At least what I mean is before I got my heart torn out.
Although they're significantly weaker, and now because of thinking about this so much, I feel like I'm about to just repeat myself, so looking up, I focused on walking.
Glancing at the amulet, I'm going to wait for tonight to use it, I need to do this, I have to know how the others are doing, both of them because honestly, I miss them.
Might not seem like it and I'm moving on, but I'm not.
I'm just trying to survive out here, but with a benefit.
Because if I'm in the dark realm, no fifth realm issues.
Until... I guess I find out the shit going on around here.
But even then, I promised to help with the coven, and I will, and I'll take care of Nurma and grow a small family here, it's not like I don't wanna go back, but at the same time, I feel like I have a new sense of responsibility? Maybe it's fatherhood?
God, am I growing up?
I never thought this day would come.
. . .Later throughout the day. . .
We got to the coven, it was a town full of witches and warlocks, you honestly couldn't tell the difference between it and what you'd hear in fantasy stories and books. But looking at it closely, it was peaceful, and the folk here were nice.
Walking into town, no one batted an eye, they had minded their own business and continued their day, so doing the same I continued to walk with Alison until this one fellow ran up to her, hugging her and lifting her up.
Seeing visible embarrassment on her face, the man let her down and looking at me, seemed to ask who I was and by the smirk on his face, asked something else as well. It didn't take too long for her face to become pink.
Chuckling as I found this hilarious, I suggested that we deliver the message or report or whatever it is, in the morning as the sun was already begining to set and she could hang out with this dude. But she refused? Up Until he grabbed her hand, looking overjoyed and pulling her along, she reached out for me, but I just waved.
And as she went with who seemed to know her like a best friend, I decided to look around for a little while.
And by the time it became dark. . .
You can say I got bored~
