Demons from the Past 16.1

"Ah..." I'm on a ship, that is going to the beast island of the south. My sigh annoyed the guy on my side, but he wouldn't say a thing. (If I saw myself in this state, I wouldn't even be this close. This guy is either crazy, or he's a real man.)

My right arm is missing, part of my face is falling off, and my legs are like a rat's cheese, full of holes. But I don't bleed, or rather I can't.

"Don't look at me like I'm about to die. I look like shit, I know that, but at any rate, I won't die this easily. We can chat, to pass time." I try to distract myself. It's not that I don't feel pain, it's because I need to stay awake.

The shady guy stares at me dumbfounded. "Don't want to? Great. I'll just reflect on my life choices in silence..." I use my left arm (The only part of my body that is intact.) To get in a better position. With my back touching the wall of the ship, I close my eyes.

I hear the thug getting up and leaving. (Agh... It really hurt when you don't have blood inside you. My heart is not even beating... Really, Ahato pissed his pants and escaped with the tail between his legs, but if it wasn't for Bella's interference, this body would probably become useless.)

I 'won' the battle against Ahato. I got stronger over the two years we didn't see each other, and so did he. But even though he overpowered me in a hand to hand combat, I have something that no mortal can achieve. (It's bothersome that they discovered it, but so what?) A god's immortality.

With my eyes closed, I start to circulate my Life Force inside me. It's more or less the same as mana healing, but far stronger. In less than a minute, it's almost like I've never been hurt in the first place.

"Cough!" I vomit some black liquid. (Impurities... I'm stronger.) Each time you get hurt and heal it, your body will create a skin, limb, or whatever, stronger to prevent it from getting cut or burnt. When you use Life Force this process is enhanced greatly.

I open my eyes and grab my magical pouch from my ragged suit. "Shit, it almost got cut too." I put my arm inside it. I get a new set of clothes, neatly folded. (Sapphira likes this kind of thing. She would be a good maid.) I change my blooded and ragged clothes to the new ones.

Using the water from the barrel on my side, I wash my face and body. (Clean.) I sit again and close my eyes. After weeks without sleep, I was finally in the mood for another session of nightmares.

...

"Clio! How are you doing?" In the middle of nowhere, I scream. I'm in a complete dark, with no starts, or anything. "Sister, you didn't sleep on purpose this time..." A girl with pink hair and eyes, black skin, and no clothes was staring at me. Her teeth resemble a wolf. A dark green smoke covered her, hiding her parts.

"You're a forgotten god too, and besides, what else can you do besides... waiting?" She is far older than me, but she was never able to chat with anyone, not even mom. "You're mean... But I forgive you. Just don't... Please, come here more often." She was almost crying.

I get close to her and hug her, caressing her head. "I won't, don't worry. Your sister will release you from here. And he will pay for what he has done to you, just you wait." I was calm on the outside, but my mind was in turmoil.

(I thought I was the only one that they 'got disposed of'... How foolish of me. Selfish gods will always make others suffer.)
