Agreement
35 – Agreement “I’ll show you something important, Sera. Take a deep breath. These feelings are not yours but the ancestors of the great clans. Unfortunately, you’re the one who has the strongest connection with me and the only person I can show it to right now.” Sera heard the voice of the Goddess in pain. She tried to breathe, which was not an easy thing underwater. However, it made her mind calm. Sera remembered the first time she heard her ancestors, their pain was intense, but she could not be carried away by what they felt. The pain had subsided, now she wouldn’t let it affect her. The Goddess smiled and nodded. She pointed to a bright and beautiful light coming from something big. Sera approached and could see a huge tree. It had black roots and almost dead. Voices came out of them. Voices of pain and anger. The central root caught her attention. Sera wished to approach and touched that part of the tree. She felt a shock and branches caught her. Sera tried to let go, but a memory came to her mind. A brown wolf, howling sadly. Sera tried to comfort her. But she couldn’t reach her. Soon, her mother’s face, Ada, also appeared. She roamed the forest as her wolf howled. Leaving her behind, abandoning her. Sera could feel the pain of Ada’s wolf and it made her cry. It was like a broken heart, something that could not be rebuilt. Ada left and the wolf was left alone, crying. Sera looked at Mother and she indicated to continue. “It’s your time now, Sera. Heal your ancestors.” Sera asked the ancestral tree for forgiveness and promised to heal its roots again. A light came out of her hands. Sera felt the energy restoring itself and the root began to come back to life. She smiled, feeling life being restored. But something stopped her. A strange force pushed her away. Sera was thrown back and the tree began to die again. Kallias appeared and touched her forehead. Mother screamed and pushed she away, but Sera had already woken up and left the lake. She coughed and gasped as she left. Karim ran to her. “He took me away from the tree. Kallias.” The voice of the Goddess echoed and everyone could hear it. “You are safe here. But, my son will not stop. He seeks a way to change your mind, Sera. He wants to prevent you from healing your lineage so that you follow his wishes. Kallias desires your sacrifice, Sera. She thinks her blood on the ancestral tree will renew our past. But it’s not how he imagines it. This will cause the imbalance and give power to the ancestral wolves who want him to fall.” “I don’t know if we can do anything.” – Sera admitted. “It’s a race against time. Each has a part to fulfill.” The Goddess sighed. “Yours is to wait for your friends. The only thing they can do at the moment. And as for Kallias. We have someone to turn to.” ———— Jae Hyun thanked the Aurelius for allowing him to use a room. He closed his eyes and realized that the situation was not really good. His Ravens sent images to his mind and Kallias had begun to attack small villages. He was disgusted to see those shadows attacking and sucking people up. How could his husband not see that? Jae Hyun couldn’t understand. He had to do something for Kallias to be saved from himself. There was no other way. Besides which he avoided for so long. The cell phone rang, was Karim informing about what had happened to Sera. “I’ll set up a meeting.” ——
When all the young people sat at the table and looked at him with concern, he showed Karim and Sera in the video call. The talk began, everyone began to ask about the couple and were surprised when Sera’s voice came out. At that moment, Jae Hyun’s mind traveled. He saw Kallias ahead of him again. “I want a deal.” – Jae Hyun asked. “In exchange for what? You know I will not leave my wishes and my mission aside.” “Not even for me?” Jae Hyun looked at him and Kallias felt that feeling again, as if they were not fighting each other but united as before. “Come talk to me directly.” Kallias gave a mischievous smile that Jae Hyun already knew. “It’s a deal.” Omega smiled. When he came back, the young people were still talking. “Are you all right, Mr Kim? You look tired.” Kyria asked. Jae Hyun said it. “I’m fine. Let’s get started. This will be our last meeting. So I need you to pay close attention.” The youth looked at him with expressions of concern. What was happening? “Sera and Karim, after Nayssa and Joshua received the powers of their ancestors, you can leave the current location. I will leave my Crows to take care of all of you. They are already programmed to help and not attack. Regardless of what you do.” He joined hands, nervous. “Karim and Sera should also bring my most important books. I know you have already started reading them. You must break the curse of your family with a marriage. You will know the right time and place. However, they will be stronger to break the main curse, without the clans Ramesses and Cohen, disturbing your soul.” Now he looked at Nayssa and Joshua. “Remember – did you say things would get worse once you regained the power of your ancestors? It started well before, Kallias attacked Sera and stopped her. Sure, that will happen to you too. Mother will guide you, don’t worry. Just be ready to fight. ” Jae Hyun reached out at that moment. 3 Crows came out of it and one of them left, leaving only two. “Nyx, Shadow and Twilight will protect you. So, I’ll be gone. You’ll have to trust them. ” “And where are you going, Mr Kim? ” sera asked still stuttering a little. “I have a duty to perform with my husband.” Jae Hyun waved and stood up. “You know who to trust and how to act. I will be acting to stop Kallias, but you have to do your part. It was an honor to help you. I’ll see you again.” Jae Hyun waved and his body turned into Crows. He had left them.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
