Chapter 97: The Contract Part 2
---Marcus---
He didn't speak for a while like studying me. My expression, my mind, and my soul. It sent an immediate shiver around my body. He freaks me out. Love, are people always like this in here?
"We have promises yet it always bends and breaks."
"What's your name, young man?"
"Calixe. Calixe Fiel."
"Odd name," I mutter. He raised his dark eyebrows on me. "What should I do in exchange?"
"I need you to go to your people and gather them."
"People?" I furrowed on him and he frowns at me. "I have no idea what you are talking about."
"I will lead you to Princess Amanda. In exchange, you have to gather your people. Darkness is coming, they will take people's soul and their free will to live like a marionette. A land will lifelessly, sulk, and sob in pain. Each Goddess and God who lived on Earth, will become Abyss's prisoner, take their power, and enslave them. Love will die on Earth, inside and outside the world, we are living."
"Wow…" I was baffled. I understand him… a little but I don't know abyss can be a name. And the marionette thingy is dangerous and the soul-thingy. And love dies? Impossible. Love never dies.
"Are you going to take it yes? You are Haji's bloodline which means you have the ability of a warrior."
"If it is a way to have my love beside me. I will. First, take me with her and you can tell me when we can start to find them."
"Let's make a contract." He extended his arm like he wanted me to take his open hand.
"I don't have paper and pen or laptop and printer."
"This is a contract." He pulls the sleeve of his silk shirt and I can see symbolic tattoos on his arm. God, I wish that this is right. I offer my hand and was about to make a handshake, but he grabbed my lower arm instead and I mimic him and he gripped on me tight and a hot sensation comes from him goes directly into my veins.
I Calixe Fiel in order of Almighty God
Bounded an oath to fight darkness over light
Live or die, I should concur what's right
Protect the Goddesses to seek the light
Help those in need to seek for love
And love shall live for eternity
Darius of my Highest Highness's mate
Oath to seek for his kind
He'll be blessed by our Almighty Father
And do what's right
Complete duty as a warrior
He shall bless be!
He releases my arm and I lifted it in front of my face to see a silhouette of a dove on my pulse. I look at him with a frown thinking that he just cursed me.
"It is a contract that I made. Blessed be!"
"Shall you take me to my love?"
"Yes. I shall." He turned back from me and he started walking. I run to catch up on him and stop and walk with him next to him.
"Where am I by the way?"
"In the boundary of Era."
"Era?"
"Yes." He threw some thick rough cloak on my direction and when I unfold it, I glance at him.
"Did you predict that I am coming?"
"Yes." He uttered.
"What else did you predict?"
"A special family will walk through the entrance to this world from your world." Patterson. That's what comes into my mind. "One who can read minds. One who can mesmerize, control things with his mind, and see the past through the object that witnesses the events."
"Ohhh…" I put my cloak on after I settled my crossbow at my back. We walk in silence and I started to flashback the poems he told me. Something about me and my Amanda and a daughter. "Whose daughter are you talking about in the poem?"
"Your daughter."
Something makes me stop walking and stare at him dumb-numb and confused. My daughter?
"Hurry up." I catch up on him.
"You said, my daughter."
"Yes. You hear it right."
I have a daughter. My daughter and Amanda's daughter. She's here? I wished to see her too and embraced her and gives her lots of kisses. My reason for living is because of my Amanda. And now, there's another reason to live. My daughter. I have a daughter and I have never been happier in my life.
"Is she with my Amanda?"
"Impossible."
"Why is it impossible?"
"The Princess brought her outside this world to save her from Abyss children and his disciples."
"Sh-she's outside?"
"You should find it out on your own."
I have this feeling that my daughter is near me. Near my heart like my Amanda. I should live. I have to protect them. He put his fingers on his mouth and make a loud whistle. Two horses are running to us. Wow. They are gorgeous. One is brown and one is black. They are groomed well and feed well.
"Thank graciously! I thought we are going to walk all the way there. I can't wait to see my love."
"The girl they brought in. You know her?" he asked me after he climbed up the horse. I patted the black horse that was lent to me and climb up. I look at him and felt loneliness inside me. Patrick and Marissa will feel great pain.
"Yes, she was mated to the mind reader. You know what I thought of this world?"
"What do have you thought?"
"This world is full of greediness and people here are cruel."
He laughed at me and he looked younger than he looked before.
"You are right. That girl, she never deserved to take here forcefully away from her future. But the mad King, wanted her to marry off for another power."
"That's not a good idea."
"That's bad for both of them."
"They don't deserve that. I was away from my love for years and here I am, getting close to her and had known that I had a daughter. I never wanted somebody to have exact tragic to happen to them."
"I lost my mate. She was killed in front of me. After that, my grieving inside me never stopped but my mind did. They wipe out my memories of her, so I won't break."
That makes me stop. Is he opening up on me? Does he trust me?
"Who killed her?"
"That's why they wipe my memories, for me not to point the person who killed her."
"I'm sorry."
"You should hear this. My mate was a Goddess born in a mortal's body that's why she dies. However, her soul never dies. Her death and other Goddesses' death bring catastrophe in each Kingdom. That's what Abyss wanted. And love brings pain to those who loved them dearly and eternally."
"Who is this Abyss?"
"He's the God of Darkness, pain, torture, and chaos."
"He sounds really scary."
"He is scary, but I am not scared. My God, choose me to give a warning and stop Abyss."
