Chapter 7

"Looks like you two had a really amazing night," Vae said over breakfast.

I blushed a little but Ravenna spoke confidently, "Yeah, We did. If I get a chance I'd relive that moment all over again."

"Of course, you would. I could only fall asleep when you both stopped moaning." Evie said, blushing a little.

"Get used to it ladies," Ravenna said as she winked at me, "Or maybe get in line, you won't regret fucking with Ayra."

Vae just laughed out loud and said, "I'm ready. What about you Evie?"

Evie's face turned slightly red as she looked at me, giving me a faint smile.

After finishing breakfast, we made our way back to the palace.

As we entered the council chamber, the women seated around the long table turned to face us. Their expressions varied, some were curious, some skeptical, and a few still openly resentful. But all of them noticed the change in Ravenna.

Her presence seemed to pull attention in a way it hadn't before. Her skin had a faint, almost ethereal glow, and her eyes shone with brilliance. The soft whispers among the council made it clear, they saw it too.

Lyshara, seated at the head of the room, leaned forward, studying Ravenna carefully. Then, slowly, she rose from her throne. Her gaze swept over me, then the others.

She seemed conflicted and what she said next made my suspicion true. "Let's have a test, if this woman you brought here is really the messiah then her essence will save a corrupted one." She said to Ravenna and everyone followed her.

Queen Lyshara, some members of council and all four of us rode to the prison which held the corrupted citizens.

It was like the same building which Ravenna, Evie and Vae had taken me to show the effects of mana imbalance. It wouldn't lie that I was nervous, I really hoped that the prophecy was true. Not just because I wanted these three elven women to get the respect they deserved.

The queen led us down the well lit corridor of the prison, her royal guards flanking our sides as we approached the cells. Ravenna ordered one of the guards to bring some meat and a waterskin. I was curious to know what was going to happen next.

We reached the main room which was lined with different cages and we stopped before a distinct cage. Behind the bars, the same hulking wolfman sat hunched in the corner similar to the one I had seen a few days ago. But this was even more grotesque than previous one.

"This will be your proof," Lyshara said, glancing at me and then at Ravenna. "If your mana is truly what these women say it is… let's see it."

The council members stood behind us, some murmuring among themselves, others watching in wary silence.

Ravenna stepped forward, holding the waterskin in one hand and a chunk of dried meat in the other. She closed her eyes. A soft glow emanated from her fingertips, subtle at first, then pulsing with gentle waves of light. The energy seeped into the water and meat, disappearing into them as though it had never been there at all.

"It's done," she said, standing and turning to the guards. "Feed him."

The queen gestured for guards to feed the creature. One of them stepped forward, sliding the food and water through an opening in the bars before quickly retreating.

The wolfman sniffed the meat. His glowing eyes flickered toward us. Then, his primal urges overtook, and he tore into the meal with sharp teeth, devouring it in only a few bites. He lifted the waterskin next, chugging it down in seconds.

The room was silent.

Then, suddenly, he twitched.

A low growl rumbled in his throat, his hands clawing at the stone beneath him. His breathing grew erratic. Then, light. His body began to pulse with a blue glow, faint at first, then growing brighter as veins of golden energy pulsed across his skin. He groaned, backing against the wall as his limbs convulsed. His form distorted. His fur started to disappear,his claws taking the shape of normal beastkin hands, his muscles deflating and his eyes lost the red.

Then, with a final shuddering breath… he stilled, falling to the ground.

The glow faded.

And where there was once a monstrous half-wolf, now lay a normal beastkin man.

He coughed as he tried to sit up, chest rising and falling rapidly, his hands trembling as he stared at them, normal, human-like hands. His eyes darted across his body in disbelief. His fur was gone, his claws retracted, his face no longer twisted by corruption. He looked up at us, then back down at himself.

The queen took a step forward, her lips slightly parted, eyes wide with shock. Behind her, the council members were frozen, some in awe, others still unwilling to accept what they had seen.

"This… this shouldn't be possible," one of them whispered.

Another skeptic, "Magic can't do this."

Ravenna turned to me, her eyes filled with gratitude and then she turned to Vae and Evie and pulled them in a hug. "We did it." She said to them.

Queen Lyshara exhaled, shaking her head as she turned toward the council. "You've seen it with your own eyes and so have I." She looked at me then, meeting my gaze with something close to reverence. "The Messiah is real."

Then, slowly, some of the council members knelt. Others bowed their heads. A few still stood rigid, skeptical even now.

But it didn't matter.

The proof was in front of them, breathing, speaking, and alive.

And they could no longer deny it.

To everyone's surprise, the queen bowed to me "I owe you an apology."

Whispers rippled through the room.

Then she turned to Ravenna, Vae and Evie. "For years, I dismissed your beliefs as foolishness. I allowed you and your companions to be ridiculed, and humiliated," Lyshara admitted. "And yet, here you stand, proof that perhaps I was too quick to judge."

Ravenna's lips parted slightly, as if she wasn't sure she'd heard correctly.

"I apologize to you all," she continued. "For doubting you. For allowing others to mock you. And for not seeing what you did from the beginning."

Some of the council women exchanged glances, their skepticism still evident. One or two even scoffed under their breath. But a few nodded, begrudgingly acknowledging Ravenna's efforts. 

Lyshara turned to me. "I did not believe in the prophecy. And truthfully, I still do not fully understand it. But what I do see… is that you are not an ordinary woman. And I would be a fool to ignore that any longer. I owe you an apology."

I met her gaze. "You had every reason to doubt," I told her simply. "The prophecy sounds strange even to me. But if you owe anyone anything, it should be gratitue to Ravenna, Evie and Vae. Without them, none of this would have been possible."

The queen looked at Ravenna again, then at Evie and Vae, who stood firmly at my sides.

"I do owe them," she admitted. "Come, let's return to the palace, we have some matters to discuss. I want to learn more about this prophecy, the only knowledge I have about it is what I've learned from scriptures and conversations but I know you women have a lot more knowledge on this subject."

Ravenna nodded respectfully. "It would be our honor, Your Majesty."

Vae and Evie both smiled, pleased at the acknowledgment. 

The ride back to the palace was quiet. When we arrived, Lyshara dismissed the council, instructing only the four of us to follow her further inside.

She led us through polished corridors until we reached her private study. A round table sat in the center, surrounded by plush velvet cushions. 

A servant entered silently behind us and set down a silver tray.

"Sit," the queen said, lowering herself gracefully onto one of the cushions.

We followed her lead, and she poured the tea herself, given how we were treated yesterday, this felt oddly humbling coming from the queen herself. She handed me the first cup, then passed the others to Ravenna, Vae, and Evie.

Once everyone was settled, she looked directly at me. 

"It is clear," she began, "that you are not an ordinary being. And if you are indeed the one from the prophecy, then your role in this world is not one to be taken lightly. Will you help us?"

I didn't hesitate. "I will," I said simply. There was no point in pretending otherwise. I had already chosen this path.

Lyshara nodded slowly and took a sip of her tea. "Then know that you will have my full support. In every way that matters."

She turned her attention to the others. "And as for the three of you," she said, voice warming, "I will make sure you are provided for anything you need."

Ravenna exhaled, almost like she'd been holding her breath this whole time. Vae and Evie exchanged a glance. It wasn't often they looked caught off guard, but it was clear the queen's swift acceptance surprised them.

Evie leaned forward slightly. "We've started training Lady Ayra. She has affinity with Water and Fire, strong affinity. She's learning fast, even though she's never practiced magic before."

The queen raised an eyebrow, impressed. "That's wonderful to hear. I will make sure you have access to any essence stones you need."

Then, Ravenna, Evie and Vae explained the prophecy to Queen Lyshara in detail.

As they finished the explanation and how me fucking and filling women with my cum with will save the world, a question popped in my mind. 

I leaned forward, resting my arms on the table as I looked between Ravenna and the queen. "So let me get this straight," I said. "I understand the part about breeding and raising half-human children. That makes sense, actual human offspring carrying my mana would help restore balance over time. But this whole 'dual cultivation' thing… I need to understand how it actually works?"

Lyshara folded her hands in front of her, waiting for me to finish.

"You said these women will travel to other cities, spreading my mana. But how? Will their mere presence be enough? Or—" I hesitated, my expression hardening. "Do they have to sleep with someone else to transfer the mana? Because that seems… wrong. And if they tried to cultivate with someone already corrupted, like that wolfman in the prison, wouldn't that just make things worse? Or will they do what Ravenna did in the prison to cure that man?"

Ravenna gave a small nod. "You're right to question it. And no, the women won't be cultivating with anyone else."

Evie spoke next. "Dual cultivation isn't just about physical intimacy. It's about merging energies. When a woman cultivates with you, she absorbs a portion of your mana, mana that carries the essence of humanity itself. That alone strengthens her, but it doesn't spread it beyond her own body." She gestured toward Ravenna. "That's where the spell expulsion technique comes in, which is what Ravenna did. There's another thing, if you have sex with a woman without the use of cultivation spells, she will receive your mana through your essence but she won't be able to expel it to cure anyone. Which is why the cultivation spell is important for this."

Ravenna took over. "After cultivating with you, these women will use a meditation technique that allows their mana to fully synchronize with yours. Once it's stabilized, they can disperse it in ways that don't require direct contact with people. Like what I did in the prison," Ravenna said. "I infused food and water with mana, and the wolfman absorbed it when he ate and drank. The same principle applies on a larger scale. These women will visit villages, towns, and cities, dispersing mana into things people rely on every day, water sources, crops, even the land itself."

The queen nodded. "Many settlements rely on wells, reservoirs, or river systems for drinking water. A woman who carries your mana can release it into those sources, allowing it to spread naturally through those who consume it. Farmers will water their crops with it, their harvests will carry traces of it, and even livestock will be affected. Over time, the people eating and drinking from those sources will slowly absorb enough mana to help resist corruption."

I sat back, considering. "So instead of forcing people to accept me or rely on direct cultivation, we let the mana work its way through their environment?"

"Exactly," Ravenna confirmed. "Some people will always be skeptical. Some might refuse to let their daughters or sisters sleep with you out of pride, ignorance, or fear. But they won't be able to stop their people from drinking water or eating food."

"And they won't even realize it's happening," I spoke.

"Some will," Lyshara said. "And in time, they may change their minds. But others won't need to. As long as balance is restored, their belief, or lack thereof, doesn't matter."

I exhaled, absorbing the information. It made sense. It was subtle, effective, and avoided unnecessary confrontation. And most importantly, it prevented corruption from taking more lives than it already had.

I looked up at them, nodding. "Alright. That's… actually pretty clever."

Ravenna then clapped and pulled everyone's attention to her, "I have something important to share," this message wasn't just for me but the queen as well. "The mana spell worked on that wolfman because the corruption hadn't fully taken over him yet. If we had waited any longer, he would've been beyond saving. There will be many we can't bring back. Those who are too far gone… we'll have to put them down. But I have a good new as well, I've been studying more scriptures and found out that apart from dual cultivation and breeding, there could be more ways to disperse your mana, sadly we don't have details about that as many texts have been destroyed through time, and if there truly are more ways, then we shall discover them."
