Chapter 31 : Heaven (2)

Keinnayi P.O.V

"I see. So, that's what happened. But, it is hard to believe that you go through all that in a short span of five years. You even found a man who you love in that short time. I wish I could have met him." (Algadore)

"Oh, I am sure you will. I am going to reincarnate him. So, I am on my way to the god of reincarnation" (Keinnayi)

"Hmmm..." (Algadore)

Hm? Why did she suddenly become thoughtful? I just finished telling her how I lived a mortal life on Earth for five years and how I fall in love with Embra. I wonder what makes her become this th-

"Yosh. I am going to help you too." (Algadore)

"Woah. You surprised me." (Keinnayi)

"Nyhaha. Sorry." (Algadore)

I look at Al who is laughing amused and thinks why would she help me. As far as I know about her, there should not be a reason for her to help me. Hm? Do I not know Al, my best friend that well?

"..-ei. Dewei! What are you thinking?" (Algadore)

"O-oh. Sorry. I was lost in thoughts for a moment. Anyway, why are you helping me?" (Keinnayi)

"EH? You don't remember?" (Algadore)

I am confused for a moment looking at Algadore who is looking at my in disbelief. I think but, noth-. Oh, that? I remember something immediately and hurriedly asked.

"AH. Are you talking about how you are going to take your father's place and rule over the ten universes?" (Keinnayi)

"Yes. That. Aiya. Can't believe you forgot that. I am hurt. *Fake crying* I see. Now that you get your man, you are abandoning about me, huh? *ouch*" (Algadore)

"Hold on a minute. Where did that come from? Why would I abandon- In the first place, I was thinking- Ugh. I have no excuse for forgetting about that but, please do not go away, Al. You are the only one I can rely on." (Keinnayi)

Algadore cover her face with her hand and weeping sounds like she is crying can be heard. So, I was perplexed and immediately go near her but, she is faking. *sigh* She is as playful as ever but, well, it is my fault that I forgot about her future for a moment. Fortunately, Al forgives me smilingly.

"Nyahaha. I was joking. I know what would be going through your mind right now, my friend. Sorry, I tease you. But, there is a reason I want to help you." (Algadore)

Her usual playful self completely disappears and she becomes serious. I also listen to her carefully not to miss any of what she will say.

"In the near future, I will have to take my father's place and rule over the ten universes. Of course, I am still learning from my father about ruling and he says that he will also advise me in the future for some time before he retires but, I know how inexperienced I am in ruling others. There are many things I still do not know about what it means to rule not using my strength and violence.

If I rule, I would definitely shed a lot of blood. But, my father would not like this. That's why I am learning in any way I can on how to rule effectively without shedding blood. And, there are questions I could not directly ask my father and my uncles too. So, I need someone who can answer my questions. I need someone who will advise me in the ruling.

Someone who has ruled over other once and someone who is willing to teach me about that. Hearing that you choose Embra as your man, I can guess that Embra is a great man who earns your respect. That's why I want to learn from him by talking with him from time to time." (Algadore)

I smile hearing her honest feelings. Haha. Where did my playful best friend who would always go around with me and do foolish things go, I wonder? ... But, I am glad, both I and Al are maturing. She is going to rule ten universe instead of one race, huh? I have to work hard too. Well, among gods, we would still be teens on the verge of becoming adults. So, it is no wonder that both of us are changing but, I miss the old days where we don't have to think about difficult stuff.

Anyway, if that is what she needs, it is my duty as her friend to help her too. Of course, I do not know much about the ruling but, I will leave that part to Embra.

"I see. I am sorry, I did not notice that you are having these trouble sooner. Don't worry, I am sure Embra will give you some advice. You can learn from him. But I will also help you in any way I can." (Keinnayi)

"Thank you, Dewei. You are the best... Now, let's go reincarnate Embra. Now that I think about it, where is his soul? YOu said you took him back with you." (Algadore)

"Ah. He is in the void. This is heaven and he is a mortal so.." (Keinnayi)

"Alright. I get it now. So, who are you planning to choose among all the god of reincarnation?" (Algadore)

"*smile* Goddess of reincarnation, Lashili" (Keinnayi)

""Who?"" (Sethar and Algadore)

*chuckle* Did they planned it beforehand to say it at the same time? *smile* Well, it is not like I cannot understand it. Goddess Lashili is someone who has a higher status than any of us three and she is more powerful too. Among gods, her strength is known far and wide even though she is the goddess of reincarnation, someone who rules over the souls and recognized as one of the most powerful gods in heaven.

With her divinity and physical strength alone, she is easily recognized as 'Strong' in the ranks of gods. But, What makes her one of the most powerful gods is her power over the soul and the ability to hurt them directly. Gods who can contend with her in battle are very few.

Moreover, she is known to be extremely short-tempered and easy to angry if someone disturbs her peace. But, she enjoys watching over interesting souls and managing them. So, I am sure, she will give Embra a chance to reincarnate.

"Her? Seriously?... You are being serious, I see if you chose her among all the gods of reincarnation. Alright, as I promised, I will come with you. I am sure, she will listen to us if we show her Embra's past. At least, she is reasonable, unlike others ..." (Algadore)

I and Sethar laugh awkwardly at her words. We know exactly what she meant by that but, let's not elaborate here. I turn to Sethar and tell her to looks after Embra while I was gone. Sethar nods strongly to reassure us and together with Algadore, we head towards the realm where Goddess Lashili rules over.

P.O.V changed

Both Keinnayi and Algadore disappeared with golden light. Sethar is left alone in the wide room. She walked up to the full-body mirror in the corner of the room and said the magic words.

<>

The ripple appeared on the mirror for a few seconds and it went away. She touched the mirror with her palm and willed the mirror to view where Embra's soul is. A minute later, Mirror became dark and Embra soul is seen floating in the void. She takes a seat and watches Embra's soul and the surrounding from time to time to make sure, no 'one' is approaching.
