First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse

There was no way for Isiah to move around while holding Eijar that way, he had to sit there and wait for her to wake up .

He was not worried at all because he knew that the method he used helped her with gaining her powers again .

He kept his focus on her energy level, it was not rising fast but in one way or another, it was very helpful.

He kept looking at her while she was motionless, seeing her in this way he felt like was too fragile.

He couldn't even picture her fighting beside his brother, from what he was seeing she looked more like a pet and not like a weapon and that disturbed him for a second .

He was willing to use her and not to go around trying to help her .

" You have to know that I am not considering you as a pet, you better get your power back or I'll throw you here, you stupid snake"

It took a few minutes after him fed her his blood for her to finally open her eyes, she was still not moving but she opened her eyes barely .

She kept looking at faces and he didn't know whether she was seeing him or not , he smirked then said to her while still looking at her from above, he didn't even try to get closer to her :" It is not time for sleep "

Isiah knew that it was not a good time to tease her but he did it anyway just to erase any deceiving thoughts that may pop into  her head after he helped her .

"You better get your shit together "

But Eijar was not going to  move even if she was forced, her body was still under the influence of the leveling down procedure .

She looked at him with a lot of difficulty from the corner of her eyes.

Eijar couldn't even formulate a sentence to answer him so she kept silent .

Isiah didn't push her a lot so he just lay down on the dark sand and started to look at the void above him while she was now on his chest .

This new layer is yet not very promising just because he woke up here but even with that Isiah was so eager to know more .

Better understanding the world around him was the first step to getting what he wanted .

"If I make it out of the triple full moons alive , I am capable of doing anything, and by anything I mean I could actually level up and gain more powers and defeat every single person who is on my way, now I actually could say that and mean it .

All those fauc**ing dark creatures died pathetically and here I have survived after fightign a fuc***ing hellhound , now , I actually believe what that first person said to me when I showed up in the superficial layer .

I am getting stronger, I am leveling down, which means I could level up in the future , I just have to train my body and soul into this "

Isiah kept saying words like that because he wanted to ease all thoughts that had been going around inside of his mind .

Saying them in that way gave him a strong belief that he was indeed doing it right .

He felt excited about the first time since he started to learn that dark magic .

His efforts were being directed on the good path, he was improving even if that was taking some time but to him, it didn't mean anything other than he was one step ahead to kill all  those who were responsible for his misery .

There was no way for him to detect any change of time but he knew that the time Eijar spent laying was so long  yet he stayed there waiting for her to wake up fully for him to continue walking .

However, he was capable of feeling her gaining her powers again and that was a bit relieving.

"Master " Isiah heard her quiet voice as she called for him after a long time of sleep, he wasn't surprised at all, he expected that she would wake up anytime now and when she did he just sat while holding her body then said:" You are speaking now ? "

Eijar nodded at him automatically so he said:" What happened to you ? "

" I lost all my dark energy during the leveling down " Lost your energy ? How? "  Isiah didn't  understand why that happened to her.

" Of course, we were going on separate ways, I lost all my energy to keep our connection so that we end up in the same place "

" What ? I thought that we were connected already, why do you need to use your energy to maintain that connection? "

" I did that when we went to Delwias Island , and this time too "

" You didn't tell me about this "  Isiah was stunned by this new information.

" Because it is on me, you don't have to worry about something like this, you are my master and it is my job"

Isiah broke eye contact with Eijar and then started to look around .

"Why? Why is it your job ?" He was biting his lip now because he was passed .

Eijar couldn't even lift her head but she said to him:" I should protect you , master "

Isiah at that moment shouted :" Maybe if you were stronger then would be easier but now you are at your weakest level, your body couldn't even support the leveling but you hide it from me and didn't tell me such a piece of important information like this, you weren't ready for any of this and yet you tried to do this, you are weak so way try to do something that exceeds your powers, stupid snake "

" It has been a long time since I was in this position, I forgot how it feels to be weak "

" That is not an excuse for this misbehavior, you already hide a lot of things, to begin with, and now this "

Isiah didn't look at Eijar after that because he was so pissed by the secrets she kept away from him and by jeopardizing herself without telling him about that .

Which was going to affect both of them if something went wrong.

Isiah stood at that moment and started to walk away .

now that he made sure that she was okay he didn't want to give her more time to relax and adapt to this new place .

He kept walking even after what was equivalent to hours on Delwias Island.

' There is nothing here, nothing, and I am really tired from walking more. What is bothering me more is the cold weather. I don't have any explanation and I really don't want to ask Eijar after that argument .

Eijar on the other hand was still sleeping on his shirt, leaving him to lead the way .

She looked from time to time at the road in front of her but she didn't say anything.

After long hours of walking Isiah just said:" I can't walk more than this "

He laid down on the dark sand while still holding Eijar carefully because he didn't want to crush her body under his .

At that moment Eiajr crawled very slowly towards his neck and then said:" This place is not what you think, master"

Isiah didn't reply to her but inside of him he said:" And only now you chose to speak after I lost my whole power while trying to minimize the distance between me and any sort of civilization around here '

Eijar continued :" This desert is huge, you can't cross it like this, walking is not the solution  "

Isiah was very intimidated by what Eijar said so he looked at her very pissed so she added :" Master, this place is like  a big maze only with desert, the more you stay here you'll freeze to death, there are no resources and we will end up dead after a while "

" I asked you if you came here and you chose not to answer that "

" Yes, I can't tell you why is that "

"Other than walking , what do you suggest then ? " Isiah asked, trying to change the subject.

" You don't have the power required for a lot of things, the only thing that comes to my head right now is summoning an animal that could do this for you, I have to warn you it is extremely difficult , dark creatures are wild and they don't accept the fact that a mage is summoning them,  now that we are here on this level I think you could do it however I am not sure if you are going to succeed in summoning one "

" You mean I have the power to that "  Isiah's eyes glittered in that place .

" Yes , but I don't think that you would succeed, these creatures are dangerous " Eijar warned Isiah .

" Where do I start ? " He asked .

" The grimoire, the unlocked parts regarding this place are visible to you now, but master you need to be careful, this place is nothing like the first layer "
