Remnants of another Era 1.82

Kiara investigated the distance, through the fog. Then she raised her right hand as if she was holding something and closed her fingers as if she were crushing something. She nodded contentedly and smiled pleased with the result of her magic.

-Already?- asked Viggo, walking in his direction. However, before he could reach Kiara, Semiramis hugged him by the arm and prevented him from approaching her.

Kiara put her hand to her mouth and let out a playful giggle -I didn't expect that in such a short time you would have become such a possessive woman- she said in a funny voice -I just left him to you for a month and you are already in this state-

-One must turn away the good from the bad- replied Semiramis with an angry face.

-Ma! It may be true, but remember that he is mine- Kiara replied, fading her smile, and putting on a haughty expression. She raised her left hand with her palm open and pointing at Semiramis-

At the same time, Semiramis felt her arms release Viggo and rise a few centimeters from the ground. She let out a scream of fright and her panic increased as she moved a couple of meters away. However, everything stopped, and she fell to the ground on her butt.

On the other hand, Kiara walked to Viggo, rested her face on his warm chest and smelled it. Then she put her mouth around her neck and kissed him. At the same time, Viggo shook his head and closed his eyes feeling the pleasant scent of flowers in Kiara's hair.

-Don't be a bad, understand?- whispered Viggo.

-Okay, it's just a joke. I'm also your woman, you know?- replied Kiara in a spoiled tone.

-I know and that's why I don't want you to fight with the rest-

-Okay, okay-

After a long hug, Viggo and Ana gathered firewood and created a campfire. Semiramis took out the water and stretched some blankets around the campfire. At the same time, Scheherezade prepared meat skewers and put them to cook on the fire. Then everyone sat down and ate in harmony. Well, except for Semiramis, who sat to the left of Viggo and looked at Kiara, who was on the right, as if she were a cat who wanted to take away her food. She just needed to curl up and meow angrily.

-Where did you go, Kiara?- asked Viggo taking out the first skewer of meat, look at it everywhere and he laid it to Kiara -it's ready-

-Thank you, dear- said Kiara looking at Semiramis with a mocking expression and taking the skewer -I had to look for some elements for you, so I went on a trip-

-What elements?- asked Viggo, pulling out a second skewer. He checked it out and offered it to Semiramis, but she snorted and looked away indignant at being a second priority. Viggo smiled, hugged her by the hip and stole a kiss. It only took him a couple of seconds to calm her anger. In the end, Semiramis gave Viggo a look of reproach with blushing cheeks. However, she still took the skewer and Viggo stroked her face in a tender gesture.

-Don't rejoice so much- Kiara continued -it's no weapon, it's kind of a lifesaver, in case something happens to you along the way. Surely that old monster is going to want to come and get you soon and you are going to train again-

-Huh?!- said Semiramis, Ana and Scheherezade at the same time

-What's going on Viggo?- asked Semiramis in an angry tone.

-Yes, I'd like to know too- Scheherezade said in a resentful voice.

-If Viggo is going somewhere, I and my sister will also accompany him-

Kiara put on a serious expression and said in a firm tone -no way!-

-Master?- asked Ana bewildered

However, Kiara kept her expression serious and continuous -you can go with Viggo to Orario, he already promised you and I agree, but in no way are you going to go where Viggo is training. That's out of the question-

-Why?-

-Simple, because it is not a place where a mortal should go-

They all fell silent without understanding the true background of Kiara's words.

-Orario is for sure, you have some opportunity to grow- continued Kiara

-I don't get it- Ana said as she bowed her head.

-Ana, I have known you since I was a child, I have protected you and I have taught you a lot of things, don't you trust me?-

-I trusted the master as if she were my mother-

Kiara sneered indignantly and said -so you trust me too little to compare me to that woman who was silent while you were handed over to the ephors-

-Enough Kiara, you don't need to be hurtful- Viggo said in a firm tone.

-It's what...-

-Enough, I said, now, continue with the elements that would be of help to me-

Kiara took a deep breath, gave a test to her skewer, and then continued -it is an element that will help you return to Orario in case of danger-

-I understand, it's like a kind of lifesaver-

-That's right-

After saying those words, the food continued, but an uncomfortable silence set in. Semiramis, Scheherezade and Sakura looked at Viggo from time to time and he understood their concern. Viggo was going to spend some time with them in Orario and then they would stay for theirs. Well, it wasn't that way, but most likely they imagined themselves in such an extreme situation. Where they went to live in a foreign country and had to fend for themselves.

An hour later, Sakura woke up from her long sleep and felt better. Ana threw herself on her sister without measuring the consequences and hugged her in tears. After they cried enough, Sakura got up and greeted Semiramis and Scheherezade. Then she kissed Viggo with all her strength and finally presented herself with an apologetic face in front of Kiara.

-How are you?- asked Kiara with a serious look and crossed arms.

-Fine, surely it was master who helped me, right?- asked Sakura.

-That's right, who else? Have you learned your lesson?-

-Yes, I must avoid rushing to conclusions, believing in who I have chosen and thinking if what I will do will be helpful or can harm everyone-

Kiara softened her expression and let out a sigh, then stretched out her arms and Sakura made her way to her. They both hugged each other as Sakura sobbed.

"The tendency of the soul," Viggo thought. That time, before leaving Laconia and going in search of the island of Boeotia, to kill the first cyclope, Kiara told him about this.

< "If you are serious with all of them, you must know that they are reincarnated beings just like you. Their souls are weak and barely remember anything from their past, which from time to time, comes as dreams. However, the dangerous thing about them is the tendencies of their souls. Semiramis tends to resentment and jealousy. Scheherezade tends to sacrifice herself to protect others. Sakura tends to belittle herself and to depression. Ana tends to fear and loneliness. Each of them is changing little by little, but all of them will drag that karma for the rest of their lives. If they manage to overcome the tendency of their soul, it will be a joint work. Sadly, no one can beat the tendency of their soul on their own.

-What's mine?- asked Viggo that time.

Kiara smiled with a malicious expression and asked back -What's your name?" >

Viggo returned from his thoughts and saw Sakura and Kiara hug each other. After a while, Sakura calmed down, and everyone lay on the blankets to rest. Everyone was too tired of the trip and the scares they dodged along the way.

Viggo lay on a blanket with Kiara on her right, who had to remove her horns to avoid accidents. At the same time, Semiramis lay down to the left while looking with some annoyance at the hetera queen. Both used Viggo's arms as pillows and rested their cheeks on their chests as he hugged them.

-Viggo- Kiara whispers, ignoring Semiramis' spiteful gaze -you still have something to do on this earth, don't you?-

-I know- Viggo whispers with my eyes closed -once I get up, I'll go find the ruin-

-Just be careful, understand? This monster will be different from others. Don't worry about the girls, I'll take care of them for you. Once you finish restoring the axe, we will return to Orario and there you can go to see your family-

-Thank you-

-All this was my egoism, I made you spend five years of life in this distant land, don't you hate me?-

Semiramis opened her wide eyes in an expression of amazement. She looked at Viggo's face to see how he responded, but he never got angry. On the contrary, he smiled and hugged Semiramis by attaching her to his body.

-I don't hate you, I lived many things here that would remain in my heart forever. I knew several people I admire and like. Above all, I met you. Thank you, Kiara, my life has changed in many ways-

Kiara made an uncomfortable smile, since, in many respects, Viggo's fate had changed too much after she pulled him away from the old snake. At first, Viggo was going to be a warrior just like now, but lonely, who was only going to live for war, thus honouring his name and the tendency of his soul. However, with the addition of her, the girls and all the knowledge that Viggo will acquire over time, the future is uncertain. Even if Kiara occupied her powers of primordial and calculated all possible futures, she would never be sure how Viggo is going to advance. However, the lonely future is out of his options. At least, she will worry that it is not so. She will help Viggo break the trend of his soul and once that changes, she will ask him for help back. So, she finally...
