Little Priest's Cat Diary

The torrential rain was still pouring, and Shidir raised his hand to wipe his face, shaking off the water in his hands.

His red hair was sticking wetly to his face, both his body and his face were splashed with muddy water, his whole body was dirty, and he looked in a mess.

This time it was much more embarrassing than last time.

The red-haired phantom thief took a breath, thinking so.

Last time in the city that was about to be covered by magma, I also took tens of thousands of people to escape. Although it was quite hasty, everything was in order, and it was not as embarrassing as it is today.

After seeing the ancient divine inscriptions engraved on the three-month light stone pillar in the underground temple, the ground suddenly shook violently for a few seconds.

Although he calmed down quickly, a certain ominous premonition made him decisively choose to leave the underground temple after reading these vague ancient scriptures.

As it turned out, his hunch saved him again.

Not long after he came out, he heard a bang, and with another earthquake, the passage leading to the underground temple collapsed.

The clues he finally found disappeared like this.

But before he was depressed, he looked up and saw the dark sky and the blood-red crescent moon gradually rising in the west of the sky.

Whether it was the text he saw from the ancient underground temple or his premonition, they all told him that disaster was just around the corner.

At that time, he looked at the Hitaya people who were in a panic because of the collapsed houses, and knew in his heart that this tribe would definitely not be able to cope with the coming disaster.

And the only one who can help the tribe right now...

The guard general who stayed in the forest had a vision and was worried about his majesty's safety, so he had already set off to chase after his majesty.

Sidir chose to go with him.

After catching up with Sardis, he informed Sardis of the speculation about the disaster.

Unexpectedly, Sardis turned his horse's head without saying a word, and led the army to rescue the Hitayans.

'You are already my people, all under my protection. '

When he heard Sardis say these words in a natural tone, Shidir suddenly felt an indescribable emotion.

He thought of the first time he had met that arrogant and selfish teenager long ago.

The boy with different eyes exuded the vicious aura unique to nobles.

At that time, Shidir thought that this young man would definitely become the kind of nobleman he hated when he grew up.

……

but.

The blue-eyed boy who accompanied him finally changed him and made him what he is today.

In this world, I am afraid few people know.

He was a young man favored by the sea, who single-handedly created the current Emperor Sardis.

……

Withdrawing his already somewhat dazed thoughts, Xidir had already walked to the place where the Hittayas were resting.

He saw a white-haired priestess sitting under a slightly concave stone wall that could shelter from the rain among the crowd.

Except for the person who was taking care of her, the other Hitayas kept a respectful distance from her.

A pitch-black cat squatted in front of the priestess. It was unknown whether it was because its fur was drenched by rain, or because of other reasons, it looked listless.

Hidir glanced at it. He remembered that the cat usually stuck to the young priest who couldn't speak. Why didn't he see the priest now...

He was still thinking that the Hitaya warrior named Fanaya had already blocked his way.

Before Xidir could speak, a hoarse female voice came through the rain.

"Let him come over."

Sidir walked under the sunken stone wall.

When passing the black cat lying on the rock, it glanced at him sleepily, then looked away with disinterest.

"I heard that you have something to ask me."

The priestess looked at him and said, "I appreciate your help to my clan, but..."

"'He will return from the sea'."

Sidir interrupted the priestess.

"'He'... refers to the god son of the ocean who saved the dying human beings in the cataclysm thousands of years ago, but died at the hands of the human beings in the end, right?"

The priestess stared.

She looked at Shidir and didn't speak.

Sidir met her gaze.

"I went to the underground temple."

"you……"

"It is said that thousands of years ago, the Moon Goddess hated the despicableness and ugliness of human beings, so she no longer came to the earth and returned to the Kingdom of God. Since then, her traces have gradually faded on the earth."

Hidir whispered,

"The Hitaya people have been waiting here for a thousand years, waiting for 'him' to return, and then, what will happen next...?"

"........."

"'Return', does it really mean returning to the human world? Or... the real return?"

"........."

"You said that the contract between the Hitaya people and the Moon God...the atonement...and the doomed fate...mean the fate of being the 'first sacrifice'?"

The white hair was wetly attached to the wrinkled corners of the eyes, and the priestess looked deeply at Shidir.

"Young man, how much do you know?"

This time, Hidir did not answer.

In the past five years, he has visited almost every ancient site left by the moon god Davia on the earth that he could find, looking for clues in ancient legends.

Then, piece the pieces together little by little.

He remembered a long time ago, on that night, the moon he saw was bigger and brighter than ever before.

The boy walked towards the full moon in the moonlight.

It was as if a pair of invisible forces were pulling the young man towards the bright moon.

……

That was just his guess.

An incredible conjecture.

But maybe...maybe...

Sidir stared at the priestess without blinking, and his voice was so low that only he and the priestess could hear.

He said: "Has the 'he' you were waiting for... returned from the sea?"

The priestess stared, and she was about to speak when a sudden shout from the side interrupted her conversation with Xidir.

"Fanaya! My lord priest! It's not good!"

Shiva, covered in mud and water, rushed in in a panic.

He opened his mouth, panting heavily, and looked panic-stricken.

"Mia he—was drowned by the sea—"

Although everyone called Mia the little priest, because he and Fanaya were the first to know each other's name and talk to each other, so he always used Mia's name habitually.

And the name that came out of his mouth made the pupils of the red-haired phantom thief suddenly shrink.

Sidir strode over and pressed one of Shiva's shoulders.

"Who are you talking about?"

He stared fixedly at Shiva, his voice faltered unsteadily at the last word, almost becoming breathless.

On the other side, Fanaya, who heard these words, also clasped Shiva's right shoulder nervously.

"What happened to Mia?!"

The name that sounded in his ear again made Sidir tremble in his heart.

At this moment, his eyes swept over Shiva and Fanaya, and the image of the masked little priest flashed through his mind.

Did he think that the little priest who couldn't speak was—

"I-I don't know either."

Khiva's shoulders hurt from being grabbed by Fanaya and Shidir from left to right.

He said with a sad face, "When the sea water came up, I told him to run up quickly, but he turned around and ran back for some reason, and finally, finally jumped into the sea water by himself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fanaya turned around and left without saying a word.

"Fanaya! In such a big flood, he didn't know where he was washed away. Even if you rush over now, it's impossible to find him."

Shiva quickly grabbed his friend's hand.

"And don't forget, he is different from us, just like when we first saw him he was alive in the sea, now he might just be in the sea..."

Before Shiva could finish speaking, there was a sudden loud commotion on the other side.

The soldiers of Portoyas had already started to panic. They searched for a long time, but they couldn't find any trace of their majesty.

As the white horse with the empty back rushed to the top of the hill, they were completely blown away.

At this moment, the personal guard general led a group of people to rush to the Hitaya's stronghold, looking around anxiously.

Seeing those Bodoyas soldiers running around, as if they were nervously looking for someone, Shidir's chest tightened suddenly.

To be able to make the soldiers of Portoyas show such a panicked look... Could it be that His Majesty...

He couldn't help but want to ask, but it was impossible for those generals to tell him such an important matter.

His mind was in a mess for a while.

Too many things happened today, and the impact on him was too great.

First came the earthquake and tsunami.

After escaping, he suddenly learned that Isaiah may have been reborn.

But just now, I heard that Isaiah might have been submerged by sea water.

Then and now Sardis disappeared.

This pile of piles is simply——

Just when Shidir's mind was in a mess, there was another exclamation suddenly.

"The water is coming up!"

The sharp shouts tore through the thick rain curtain and pierced the dark sky.

The exclamations came one after another, making this not-so-big mountaintop even more chaotic.

The torrential rain was still falling like crazy.

The dark sky seemed to have a big hole torn open, and the water of the Milky Way continued to pour onto the ground.

The howling wind swept across the ground, uprooting some young trees and blowing them away.

The canopy was shaking crazily, and the crunching sound of branches snapping sounded one after another.

The whistling sound was like the screaming horn of a monster in the dark, which made people feel chills in their hearts.

And all of this is nothing compared to the fear brought to everyone by the sea water that is coming towards the top of the mountain.

The crimson sea water churned in the darkness, like surging blood.

The huge waves surged, rose into the sky, and then fell heavily.

Countless tentacles, like monsters hiding in the bright red sea water, stretched out their teeth and claws towards everyone.

The sea water is slowly overflowing this not-so-high mountain.

People huddled on the top of the mountain in despair, unable to do anything, they could only watch the bright red sea approaching them little by little.

Death is coming.

The soldiers of Portoyas showed unwillingness and resentment. They never thought that they had experienced hundreds of battles and survived the baptism of countless wars, and now they would die in such a way.

Especially their majesty, such a great monarch, unexpectedly in this kind of place, in this way——

On the other side, the Hitayas looked blankly and desperately at the sea water rushing towards them.

They thought that after all their lives, they could finally escape, but they didn't expect that they could not escape the fate of death in the end.

The feeling of being deprived of hope after having hope is extremely cruel and extremely desperate.

No matter what mood they are in, at this moment, everyone trapped on the top of the mountain can only slowly wait for death to come.

Sidir gritted his teeth and looked up to the west of the sky.

There, a thin crescent moon exudes a strange blood-red light, which complements the bright red sea water.

...the moon god Davia...the crazy and insane god...hating humans...

【The cataclysm... came back to the world...】

【The blood-red water will cover the entire earth...】

Could it be that the cataclysm mentioned in the vague prophecy that I saw started from now?

The prelude to the disaster opened with the sacrifice of tens of thousands of their lives?

Will the cataclysm of thousands of years ago reappear on this land again?

In that case—

In that way—

wow.

clap clap.

There seemed to be the sound of lapping waves in the distance.

A sound came into the ears of everyone.

It was not the frightening sound of waves like stormy waves.

It was the melodious sound of the waves like the singing of the waves.

wow-

The restless sea suddenly became quiet.

The sea water no longer overflows to the top of the mountain.

The storm that was raging between heaven and earth just now stopped suddenly.

The huge waves that overwhelmed the river and landed slowly.

The rain curtain gradually weakened.

Suddenly, a deep and ethereal moan seemed to come from the farthest place in the world.

It's so far away, but it seems to be right next to my ear.

Accompanied by this desolate and ethereal moan, the whole world fell silent.

The crowd stopped crying and shouting.

They opened their eyes wide, held their breath, and looked ahead.

In the darkness, as if from where the water and the sky meet, an unbelievably huge figure is slowly swimming towards them from the water.

wow.

There was another clear sound of waves.

The pitch-black sky suddenly cracked a hole.

A ray of sunlight fell through the gap.

It landed on the light blue giant beast in the sea, and it also fell on the young man standing on the back of the giant sea beast.

The boy's light golden hair shone with a little luster in the sunlight.

Standing on the giant beast, his whole body seemed to be glowing.

Little by little, the rift widened in the thick dark cloud, tearing it apart.

One after another the light fell down.

It was as if wherever the young man went, the light reappeared on the earth, and the darkness disappeared.

And all the sea water that the young man and the giant light blue beast under his feet passed by, the turbulent waves all returned to calm, the crimson red all disappeared, and turned into a clear blue color again.

The boy bathed in the sun raised his head and looked towards the sky.

The long cry resounded between heaven and earth again.

A huge water column sprayed from the top of the giant beast's head, straight into the sky.

At this moment, the blood moon disappeared, and the dark clouds dissipated like melting.

The sun that had been shaded for a long time poured down at this moment, falling on the sparkling blue water.

It also sprinkled all over the boy who looked up at the sky.

…………

There was silence on the top of the mountain.

At some point, the Hitaya people knelt down on the ground, facing the direction of the holy beast in the sea, and the direction of the boy.

At this moment, they prayed extremely devoutly.

Sidir stared blankly at the incredible scene, and that vague prophecy suddenly appeared in his mind.

['He' will return from the sea. 】

The white-haired priestess knelt on the ground, her hands clasped to her chest.

Her eyes were fixed on the boy in the sea.

Tears oozed from the corners of her wrinkled eyes.

She clenched her hands and murmured like a prayer.

……

The earth is covered in darkness

The sky is falling apart, the sun and the moon are dark

flooded the earth

just when everything is about to perish

'Hope' descends on the earth.

The tsunami subsided because of him.

The light of the sun and the moon reappeared because of him.

All disasters fade away before him.

Benevolent children of the sea.

'He' brings hope to the world of despair.
