Chapter Sixteen

"Found you…"

Nanami whispers the word to herself, as she stands right before the grand wall, located not far from the castle she dominate a while ago.

Received a report from her underling, a strange-looking rock, like a meteorite, fall from the sky. Instead of crash-landed, it safely landed 'himself', having his first reunion with Nanami who already dominates the first sector of this world.

Such satisfaction was never really had been substantiated in Nanami while a life lived in shadow. The first impression was opposite from what she had born during her time with Cynthia, even when the time she had full domination over Cynthia's consciousness, she never had such happiness compared to this very moment.

It was someone who she already longed to meet, even they'd separated for a moment ago, still, she can't deny her ache over this person.

As we look closely at the meteorite, it appears to show the partial face of certain someone. A human who wrapped himself inside this ice-cold rock that imprison him for a while before safely landing in the land of Namor.

His subconscious has already fallen into a deep slumber. No matter how harsh the environment, he will not get afflicted with any damage or pain as the icy rock that formed shrouded his body becomes a barrier that protects him.

"What should we do with this human, My Lady?"

Nanami ignored the question, her head face down as she couldn't bear the word stated by her underling, a human. Her reaction given was different from what she had in her emotion, she deny the existence of this very person who was called human by the foreign demon in this territory. No human could survive this harsh environment. Falling from the sky, warped his consciousness over the absolute nothing over the journey from space to this world itself. Only god may do survive this, not human nor demon who doesn't carry their royal bloodline.

"It's not any ordinary human. Use whatever method you have, make sure this space rock is safely deposited to my castle," Nanami tossed her command casually. Acting sentimental won't bring her plan any further. Not when she is already being watched by several 'eyes' from the moment she arrived in this land.

She had to act like prominence, a promising successor to the throne that soon will be given to her as her father had already given up, returning to the place where he was supposed to be. Although Nanami couldn't care more or less, she would get herself involve if her father's plan involved a certain person. Awakening her power was one thing, but Nanami was not naïve enough to believe that nothing in return for her father to unlock this daring power of her.

This is the world where surviving to the fittest. The strongest dominate the weak. Nanami had this vision coming long before she predict herself getting thrown back to the land of birth, land consumed by darkness, swallowed every single hope, transforming it become despair in every single living being.

"Milady… May I dare to ask, what's in this rock itself that cause milady had such anxiety?" Serpentine who served right under her carried away with her curiosity and asked about it.

"Something that becomes my source, something become my hope, something become my trigger to end this stupid fight," Nanami face down while answering in a soft tone. She doesn't want to remember much why she has to act this way, yet she doesn't want anyone in this realm to know about what's inside.

It's been a week right after the meteorite transferred back to her castle. Of course, it doesn't alarm her father as she kept everything in dark. Placing the stone in one of the secret chambers which belong to the former master of this castle. Nanami fully utilized the usage of the room, as she slowly transferred her mana into the rock itself, releasing someone whom she longed to meet.

A continuous effort sail out by Nanami finally caught the result she had been waiting for. A cracking sound clearly can be heard in this absolute stilly space. Nanami turned her head around, witnessing the newborn of the persona who was about to surrender his loyalty to her command.

"Finally… No one shall interrupt us this time, Walker…"

That was the final word that came out from Nanami mouth, stating the obvious name, the name of the person who made Cynthia had no other choice but to warp herself into the tunnel made by Creator, which connected both realms and willingly got used by Creator intention, as Walker already become the hostage the moment they all caught in surprise by the arrival of creation of this world.

After a month, Nanami had no intention of hiding it anymore, as she successfully made someone mad enough, craved like a crackpot, bickering in silence as she couldn't announce her feelings toward the man whom she loved a little while ago. Stabbed right underneath her lower waist, Cynthia couldn't believe the ambusher was someone who she less expected to become, as she dumbfounds for a moment, unable to make her decision toward the next move she should make toward the men who pull this cowardly act.

"Here's my present for you, my dear silly sister. How does it feel like to have someone you love stab you in the back?!" Nanami laughed off when she still endure the countless pain caused by the attack earlier.

Deep inside Nanami's heart, she felt ashamed, pulling off a cheap trick to ensure her victory. But on the other side of herself, she never feels much satisfied, enjoying a moment she witnessed right now.

Cynthia had to make a choice, to attack or defend herself. Either she had to push him away, or she keep enduring the same pain from the knife that stuck in between her flesh and blood.

"Walker… what are you doing?!" Cynthia grins her teeth as she spells her word, painfully. Both her heart and physically had shattered into million pieces knowing nothing about Walker's condition.

It was her sister, Nanami who get hold of Walker, a few minutes away in Lumine City, a month apart in Namor. Nanami successfully resurrected Walker from his near-death, as the transmitting of Walker's vessel into this realm encountered a minor issue, causing him to freeze in a vacuum space, slowly recreating a barrier which made from nothing, an ice rock field. Later which drops down like a meteor, sending himself into the land of Namor.
