CHAPTER 29: ROOTS

In her mind, she feels how she recedes in NAINARI's memories, with the feeling of her clinging to a carefree time, in the time she was happy.

In memories, he can see NANEKI lying on the ground under a tree, and next to her is RYU lying on his side, the one who was his roommate and his training partner (CHONT-SU's voice explains to WASHI, that, RYU is the image that YUEL took when he came to father KEKI).

RYU, affectionately, leans towards NANEKI, playing with his hair, kissing his face with a little anxiety, both smiling, somewhat flushed and their looks hint at a mutual affection, even touching his lips.

Like a gust of wind, it changes the memory.

WASHI can see NANEKI hiding from the eyes of some of CHOSEN's siblings, she hides her advanced pregnancy.

Something that, even with everything and habit, is not enough.

Then the couple is seen, fleeing in the middle of the night, between the mountains.

After wandering for a few months, they set their sights on a village far from CHOSEN, in a small house, where NANEKI gives birth to KEKI.

You can see the groove of great power in the star... the irrepressible tears of NANEKI holding her in her arms, the look of fear between RYU and NANEKI.

The young man, with the girl just given birth, immediately knows that they must move.

CHOSEN is likely to be close by. Both know that it is almost impossible to escape from CHOSEN, but they will try with all their might.

On that same night, they go on horseback.

Both parents' fear comes true, they are reached by the CHOSEN sorcerers who tracked her down.

The young YUEL with his human body, named RYU, once again did not have the power to defend them from the attacks of so many CHOSEN brothers together.

NANEKI, despite being very strong, did not have much to have given birth, for this loss of strength, is mortally wounded by spells that steal the life force and poison the blood, called: forbidden spells ... those that were not to be used between brothers.

Given the power that NANEKI possessed, they saw it necessary, which is against the rules of the temple.

RYU, fainting, tries to stand in front of NANEKI, who, before his eyes, can only watch as the CHOSEN use their power to disintegrate RYU's body into fire.

With tears choked by physical and mental pain, NANEKI clings to her young daughter.

A huge fear invades WASHI's heart, followed by the sensation of a huge hole in her chest.

NANEKI lies on the ground, on her side without strength, one of the sorcerers approaches her.

It took too much strength and to hit NANEKI for her little daughter to snatch from her arms...

Sadly like her mother, she feels that if it were divine punishment before losing consciousness.

WASHI feels that her mind threatens to faint, she feels very tired mentally and her body feels numb from so much pain, but, the burning does not cease.

His body has been consumed in fever.

After a sunset, NANEKI is seen outside the sacred city, extremely wounded, dirty, tired, full of anger and displaying all her power forming in a great seal of signs in the wind, this seal covered the entire floor of the mountain, unfolding its light towards the sky, just before finishing forming the last sign in the wind.

Such a display of power draws the attention of the entire region for the intensity of magic.

AISU appears before her, NANEKI, without being distracted, yet, knowing that he is there, continues to work on the label.

AISU offers to release her from her burden, somehow he knows that she has a desire in her heart, on which, KEKI's name is engraved.

He repeats the offer more than once, seeing that NANEKI does not stop and knowing that it is very close to her finishing her spell.

AISU, attacks her fiercely, with a shower of black crystals that dissolve in the body of NANEKI, leaving him barely alive, while life escapes him, his body falls, managing to complete the last sign before dying at last.

From this seal a power of attraction is unleashed so strong that it generates a bluish light in the shape of a great dragon (larger than the city itself) that is launched against AISU, without it being able to escape from it or stop it in any way, swallowing all that region and resting the dragon on the ground in an aggressive attitude, It is petrifying, while around the dragon, the earth rises forming a rocky wall that covers it, until today.

This region is known the city of NANEKI until today.

Sealing with this the entire city with AISU within it.
