Will of chaos

Since waking up I haven't been able to go back to sleep, so I waited until the others woke up to start preparing to leave this place.

As all my companions would be left behind, I packed my things and started to think about the path I should take to get to the Poison Forest where the Elves' village is hidden.

After giving the final instructions and picking up the two rare-ranked Phantom Orbs that Hela had made during those two days, I hit the road with only Freya and Ragnar accompanying me.

The others stayed behind to ensure the Dungeons were cleared in record time, as there are some people in Lower Catastrophe Grades and the strongest Dungeon should only be in Grade SSS, there should be no danger for them I hope.

The trip out of this place would take another 3 days, during the trip I went straight without paying attention to the undead and dungeons, I was riding on Ragnar's back as he flew, we would have been faster if he went in the maximum speed, but didn't want to draw the attention of people who might be watching this place to prevent undead attacks in their respective Realms.

After three days I arrived at a mountain where some of the grass was still a little green, looking at the horizon I could see a green forest and when I looked back there was only a strange land with dark colors.

"We have reached the border, if we have followed the right direction, then our next trip will be..." (I)

Before I finish speaking I draw my weapons and unleash all of my enhancement skills as I get into a combat stance with Ragnar at my side.

In the direction, we were both looking there was only a gray fur wolf with a height of 4 meters and 2 tails.

"You don't have to fear me and point your guns at me."

"Who are you?" (I)

"He is a Holy Beast, I feel a little of the presence of the God of Wolves in him." (Ragnar)

"My name is Wolog, I am a Holy Beast who serves the Great Fenrir." (Wolog)

A Holy Beast is here means it must have come for Diana.

"Have you come for Diana?" (I)

"Yes, I felt you guys coming this way and I walked this far." (Wolog)

"Ragnar, could you go get Diana?" (I)

"It should take me 5 days to get back." (Ragnar)

I look at Wolog whose body has shrunk to a height of 1.5 meters and must have done so so as not to attract anyone's attention with his large frame.

"Do you need her urgently?" (I)

"No, but I also can't stay long since the High Priestess is here and can't stay long on this continent." (Wolog)

Looks we can't take long, so I turn to Ragnar.

"You can go at your maximum speed, try to arrive in 2 days." (I)

"At your orders, master." (Ragnar)

Ragnar flies up and I feel him covering his wings with his Aura and various elements, then his wings start to burn in black flames and he disappears in a black beam with extreme speed returning from the same direction we just came from.

"He'll be back with Diana in 2 days, I'll stay here with you in the meantime." (I)

"Besides, I'll go with you, I won't let Diana go alone." (I)

"I had already been informed about this, you are free to follow along, Holy Child of the Blood Goddess." (Wolog)

"Can you just call me Zenos, please." (I)

----------

Pov Athena:

I wake up covered in sweat, and an urge to vomit takes over my body, but I resist that urge as it might alarm the others, I get up from my makeshift bed inside my private tent.

"Damn it!" (I)

"(Another nightmare?)"

"Yea." (I)

I grip the crystal on my necklace tightly, my hands are still shaking a little, and even my wings are fearing a little.

"(The same dream as always?)"

"Mostly yes, but this time there was something different besides the screams of pain from the people of that town, there was a black haired and dark eyed child with a kind smile saying something to me." (I)

"I blinked for a second and the child disappeared." (I)

"(What the child said.)"

"She said that." (I)

"My congratulations to you who don't let yourself be blinded by the light.

The seeker will be in that direction, take the wounded Soul to him if he wants to save her."

They were few words, but they demonstrated knowledge about me and my goal, besides that those eyes looked like bottomless pits as they looked at me.

"(Looks like a God, but with so few features I can't figure out which one.)"

"(Seems to know where Zenos is and our objective, but seems more concerned with the False Hero's Soul.)"

"Do you think I should go in the direction you told me?" (I)

"(Do you know where you have to go?)"

I didn't know how to respond, the child pointed in a direction, but in the dream, I couldn't tell where it was, she didn't say the place either, but somehow I knew the direction and distance we should go.

I opened the map of that continent and felt as if a specific place was very important, a city on the edge of a large area of ​​forest.

Comparing where we are now to this city and the direction that I feel is the right path, it seems to be this city.

"This city for some reason seems to be this city, I feel it." (I)

"(The city name is not on the map.)"

"It doesn't matter, we know the name of the forest that is written on the map." (I)

"Poisonous Forest." (I)

"(How are you going to explain this information to others?)"

"I'm going to the town closest to here and come back after a few hours saying that this information came from a criminal I followed." (I)

"(It should be enough, but should you kill this person so you don't deny your story if they run after him?)"

"I just need to kill him." (I)

"(So let's go with it.)"

I tuck the crystal inside my clothes again as I sit cross-legged.

Sigh

"(Apart from this child, the rest of the dream was still the same as always, the images of that day, the day I was forced to stand by watching an entire city being sacrificed in horrendous ways knowing we could have done something to stop it.)" (I)

"Never again..." (I)

I further strengthened my determination for what was to come, but even so, the image of my sister was still in my heart, even though she was not the same sister I once knew.
