Chapter 1: First Meeting
At first I thought I was dead. I had just transferred my will and egg to Arthur and a second later I was in a veil of darkness, the afterlife I thought. If I am being honest with myself I didn't want to die even if I told Arthur dying would be better off for me as i wouldnt have to see Kezess or Agrona again, I wish i could see my child and Arthur grow together, now I just have to hope that Arthur will look after my daughter and take care of himself, enjoy his new life.
I was pulled from my thoughts by a welcoming light that pierced the darkness I rested in. 'I guess this is it' I thought, preparing to pass on, I closed my eyes and felt the warm light encompass me. The warmth encompassed me for what felt like hours, once I had felt that the light has died down I opened my eyes, what I saw brought two words to the front of my mind majestic and beautiful. Until I turned around.
The scenery was exquisite, the floor completely reflective the night sky was cloudless and a perfect shade of midnight blue. The sky was aglow with lights from the many glittered stars which it contained, each star glistened perfectly not a single dim star in the sky. The sky was perfectly reflected off of the ground making the area's size look infinitely large. Some of the stars were darting across the sky as if they were energetic children. I turned to be met with a full moon which felt as if it was in reach due to its humongous size, it was a perfect full moon. The moon filled the area with its stolen light however the light did not feel stolen it felt as if this moon was so pure it was emanating its own light which could heal all wounds and cure all diseases. This moon however was not the cause of my shock leaving a silhouette on the moon in the shape of an X was 4 chains, the silhouette of the chains made it look like the moon was bound and trapped here but in the centre of where the four chains met was a being. This Being was bound by the chains by their arms and legs.
As I walked towards the being albeit hesitantly i couldn't help but notice their feminine features; long silky white hair which went down to their lower back, they also had a very feminine face, i could not get a good look of her eye colour due to them being closed, but they had snow white skin which could get them mistaken for someone who is sick.
As I cautiously walked towards her i begun to wonder; who is she, where could she come from, why is she here now, infact what is she? I stood before her looking up towards her as the chains held her about 20m upwards, 'she looks at peace' i thought as i cleared my throat getting ready to make my presence known to her.
"Hello?" I spoke slowly and quietly still being a bit suspicious of the women in front of me, well above me. No response 'was i too quiet' i thought and decided to try and get the women's attention again but louder this time.
"Hello" I spoke with more confidence at about a normal volume you would use in a conversation, but again, no answer my mind began to race to all of the possibilities but one stook out in my mind 'Is she dead?' i thought but quickly shook it away not wanting to think of what could've happened to her if this was true. 'She couldn't be dead her skin is so pure but then again it is very pale. Is she decaying right now! 'I have to try one more time. Yes that's it one more time' I thought silently praying in my mind that she isn't dead.
"Hello! Please give me a sign that you are not dead!" I shouted at the top of my lungs even hurting my throat a bit. I stared at the women waiting for a response anything to prove she isn't dead i waited about 30s for a response until i saw her head move slightly into a different positions. 'So she isn't dead? Thank the true gods! Wait but why didn't she wake up? Don't tell me she's just a really deep sleeper' I thought as tick mark appeared on my forehead.
"Oi wake up women, you nearly gave me a heart attack" I screamed at the top of my lungs. The women's eyes shot open in an instant revealing amethyst eyes with a black slit for a pupil which kinda reminded me of an angry cat. The women looked around before spotting me, when she did she stared at me, in the moment it felt as if this women had pierced directly into my soul, i could also feel an ominous pressure form around me as all the comforting light in the room became suffocating.
"why the hell are you screaming for! jeez! the women shouted the suffocating presence beginning to die, all i could think of was how childish this women's tone of voice was.
"What do you mean 'jeez'! I thought you were dead and nearly had a heart attack" I retorted shouting back at the same volume.
"and hey don't go over the fact you're literally chained up above the ground!" I quickly added on
"well I wasn't dead okay! and why I am chained up here has nothing to do with you" She said sticking her tongue out at me while also speaking in a sassy tone
"Don't be sas-"i tried to speak but was cut off by the women
"But now that i have a visitor" they said with a tone much darker than the childish one used prior, worry and anxiety filled my mind as i waited for them too finish talking while also thinking of what they could want.
"Could you help me out of these chains" They ended in their childish tone.
I fell to the floor anime style, getting up i sighed.
"Okay i will help you on one condition, that is why are we and where is here?" I asked noticing a dissapointed look from the women.
"Wow so basically i'm forced to tell you thats low" they responded
"Don't be like that it's a good opportunity for me to get some info of this place" I said giving them a sly grin
"ye ye save it, I will tell you that we are currently in the child's mana core and that I am sealed here but not a thing more." the women said in a more serious but still childish tone.
"That isn't enough info i wanted stuff like who are you, what are you, why are you sealed in Arthur's Mana core?" I said shooting out all of the questions on my mind at a rapid pace
"Woah! Relax, I said i would answer where we are and why I am here" she responded giving me the same sly smile I gave her.
"Fine, but you never told me why I am here" I retorted
"I thought you knew why you were here. You transferred your will into the boy's core" She responded a little bit confused as if I had asked the stupidest question ever.
"You misunderstand me. Why am I not dead? If i'm in Arthurs core speaking to right now i can't be dead."
"I mean you could be, would save me explaining it." they said while chuckling in a way i hate to admit was quite cute, wait back on topic.
"Can you just elaborate" I deadpanned
Silence filled the area for an eternity both of us locking eyes not breaking contact for a second eventually the women looked away. She gave off a sigh as she began to talk
"The reason you're not dead is because of the raw amount of pure mana which forms this place." They said in a serious tone once again but i felt that she was only telling half the truth, for now any info is better than none.
"what do you mean why would there be enough pure mana in Arthur's core to keep me alive" I asked confusion visible in my voice
"Well there isn't really" She responded
"But you just said there is" I responded even more confused
"Let me explain. Due to my seal this part of the child mana core has been separated from the rest this, does not limit the amount of mana the child can use. Infact when my seal is fully broken it should increase the amount of mana they can use but anyway the pure mana in this location was able to guide you conscience here to me, so technically your physical body is dead and Arthur believes you're dead but you are not.
"So Does tha-" I was about to ask a question when i was cut off by the women.
"Also you're conscience is only intact due to the pure mana leaking from me so if you were to leave this place you could die fully, this mean we cant leave this portion of the mana core until we figure out how to weaken my seal to the point where i can generate enough pure mana for us to leave the Mana core for some time, we will always have to return to Arthurs core until we can get a physical body though. This is because we will just be spiritual vessels when outside which burns a lot of pure mana, if we burn to much and run out while outside of Arthur's core we could die fully.
"When will we be able to work on weaking you're seal!" I asked desperation in my voice, if i could leave this place i can get the chance to see my child and Arthur grow up.
"Well we should be able to weaken my seal once Arthur begins to assimilate with his beast will you gave him" She responded
"But anyway can you help me down now!" they shouted once again in their childish tone
"Alright relax i have a small amount of pure mana which i can break your chains with"
I created four arrows out of a small amount of the pure mana in the area and aimed them towards the steel chains, releasing the arrows the shot out at insane speeds towards the chains breaking them instantly 'such weak chains to seal someone with this amount of pure mana'.
"Finally unbound from those stupid chains, I'm still sealed but at least i can walk around and enjoy the environment now, maybe with my hands free i can even change the environment a bit" She said as she floated down towards the ground gracefully
The women who i still don't know the name swished their hand changing the reflective floor to one of luscious green grass, the area now had grassy hills and perfectly green trees instead of the reflective flat floor it used to have, the sky stayed the same which i didn't mind too much as i enjoyed watching the stars.
"Much Better! What do you think?" she asked turning towards me
"That was amazing! You just manipulated the terrain with little to no effort while being sealed! I can't even imagine what you can do when you are unsealed, who are you? I responded shocked to see the extent of her 'sealed power'.
"Nope you asked your questions already and I'm free from my chains meaning you don't have any blackmail on me this time" She responded sticking her tongue out at me
"You're one stubborn but funny women" I responded laughing slightly.
"What did you just say?" They asked their tone darker again
"Uhm you're stubborn?" I said nervously.
"No no not that the other thing" They responded quickly
"You're funny" I said confused at this point
"Nah the other other thing, say the whole thing again" They responded quickly again
"You're one stubborn and funny women-" i said getting cut off at the word women
"That's it you could be a women why" she responded
"Because you're appearance is very feminine" I said confused, are they not a women, who could a man be this feminine?
"Noooooooooooooooo!" They screamed rolling around in the grass basically crying.
"What's wrong!?" I asked quickly
"I am a man!" He shouted
"EH!?" I shouted
