Will of chaos

It took us the rest of the night to get everything of value from the attacks we suffered that day, Nicole didn't want to leave anything useful behind and Hela took the opportunity to get the bodies, she said that all that meat would be useful to her later in the ritual she was going to do.

The next few days after that weren't too bad, we managed to get to the town that was on our route as planned without facing another big problem, which was awesome.

I had a lot of time to relax from all the training I usually do and took the opportunity to study a little more about Spiritual Runes, the study of Runes has more to do with understanding certain concepts than theoretical study itself.

If I had to explain I would say that the Runes are the feeling of what I feel about the meaning of the Rune, this is different from magic where everything can be studied and controlled with precision.

While I spent my time like this with help from Silvia and Nix, the Hero spent his days thoughtfully, Hinata told me that he talked to many people on the Ship about different hypothetical situations, it seems he is trying to understand his path while comparing himself to many others. observing the different choices of each one, a very rational way of doing this, I'm sure this idea didn't come from him, that Priestess must have told him to do it.

Having a few quiet days during the trip, I had time to spend with the girls, unfortunately, I've been spending little time with them, so I took advantage of these days to give them all the attention they deserve.

Pov Kira:

"How long do you plan on sleeping? You've been sleeping for days the last few months." (I)

"Lately the memory of my past has been easier to recall while I was sleeping." (Byakko)

"In the album attacks days ago you didn't even participate." (I)

"I realized, but it seemed like everything was under control, so I went back to sleep, I've been learning a lot from my dreams." (Byakko)

I was talking to Byakko while we were running through the forest in front of the Floating Ship to explore the area, we are doing this because in the city we passed Lilian discovered that there were suspicious troop movements near the city.

Knowing how lucky Zenos is, everyone agrees that we should be extra careful and some of us are urging the surroundings.

"Just be prepared next time." (I)

"I learned some new tricks from my memories, we'd better practice a little." (Byakko)

"Hang on." (I)

"< Assassin's Cloak >" (I)

"< Tracking Rune >" (I)

I hide with my strongest concealment skill and remain still when someone walks past us.

As soon as he passed he stepped on a Spirit Rune that I left on the ground, I had to move the Rune a little to ensure that it weighed down and stuck under his foot, after he left I went back to the Ship to tell the others.

Pov Zenos:

I remember going to bed in the middle of the afternoon, I was feeling bad all day, my blood seemed to boil without explanation and I felt weak, Vanessa didn't find anything wrong with me and I assumed it was overexertion, so I went to bed early.

But now I immediately realized that something was wrong, that's why I see myself on top of a rift looking at a planet full of sparkles all the time, when I looked around I realized that it looked like I was on a moon looking at the planet.

It didn't take me long to realize this wasn't Earth, the continents were different, and it wasn't this world I'm in either, I've seen so many maps of 3 of this world's continents I could recognize them if I saw them from above and this world didn't have any same or similar continent.

I tried to move but couldn't, same to speak or anything else, in fact even when I turned my head to look around earlier, it wasn't something I did, it just happened.

Suddenly 8 bright lights appear around me, then everything becomes a blur of lights for several hours until I wake up.

"What was this?" (I)

When I woke up I realized I was sweating blood and went to look for Vanessa again, but for some reason, I felt much better than before I went to sleep.

But the strange dream was still fresh in my mind, everything felt so real.

POV of a Soldier of Light:

"< Luminous Court >" (I)

"< Onslaught >" (I)

"< Luminous Court >" (I)

"□□●●■□●..."

I was in the middle of the battle, I was part of the troops under the direct command of the Executioner of Light, after the Warrior Priest, the One Man Army appeared preventing our plans, and our leader fought against him several times for days.

Meanwhile, we follow his orders to attack the next city and end their resupply.

Now I was inside the city, they had almost nobody defending the city and so it was easy to force our way, we soon realized that there were almost no Humans in the city with the few there snooping alongside the Inferior Races.

Fighting broke out and it was an easy victory, they were outnumbered and were defending the townspeople who tried to flee.

I was attacking with everything I had killing these inferior races, but in the end, they managed to flee too far from the city and I had to go back, I didn't understand the language of this Kingdom, but I could understand the horrible things they said by their expressions.

When I got back the rest of the troops were preparing for the next part of the plan.

Pov Zenos:

"Are you saying we can't change course?" (I)

"It would take more days of travel to reach the Floating Island." (Klaus)

"Unfortunately of the 3 we walked, one is very suspicious, the other is too close to the Battlefield, and the last one that seems the safest would increase the travel time a lot." (I)

"I think it's best to follow the path Kira explored." (Karina)

"But it's very suspicious, those people from the Church of Light are close by that route, Kira saw one of her lookouts in the area." (I)

"At least it would be a known risk, you could prepare." (Klaus)

"I'll see first what we're dealing with." (I)

With that, I leave the room to look for Hinata, Kira, and Lilian who went to gather information, I wanted to know more about this route before making a decision.
