Chapter 33: Departure

Chapter- 33

—--------------

[ You may only take inanimate objects from this place ]

'Really don't you have any solution?' I asked again inwardly hoping for any solution system will tell me

[ Negative ]

*Sigh* I guess I have to try my best to get her a new and safe home where she can grow without any problems

I looked through the holes I made in the ice wall to let air in and saw that the bad weather had stopped and the snow had stopped falling too. It was a relief.

Now I only have to wait for her to wake up, and then we will set out from here

As I looked at the calm face of the kid, I couldn't bring myself to wake her up. I realized that I should also take some rest before we leave.

….. 

After a while… 

"Let me introduce myself to Aria, my name is Grayfia but you can refer to me as the big sister, ok?" I said this while looking at the girl who is now awake looking straight at me with her big eyes quietly

*Sigh* I released a tired sigh after I realised something, I come to know one fact this girl is an awfully quiet type of girl, she doesn't speak anything until I asked her something nor has she ever taken any initiative to speak from the moment she woke up

Not to mention that I am also not a talkable person either, so making this conversation is so much more difficult with her 

At my introduction, she simply nodded her head and continue to stare at my face without saying anything

Damn it, this is really awkward but we really need to keep going, so now at least need to know her thoughts

"Aria can you take me back to your house" I kneel down and spoke in rather a soft tone, as I continue "It's totally fine if you are uncomfortable, I am not going to force you"

"It's fine" She replied back with her cute voice while staring at me 

"It's really okay?" I asked this with wary as I am really concerned about her mental health after what she experienced

In response to me, she nodded again as she stands up and grazed at the entrance of the cave

"Alright then…stand back a little," I said as I gently pushed back aria behind me

Then I looked towards the ice wall, as I started to gather my energy and then I make a spear in my hand and I throw it towards the wall

*Crashed*

Both spear and wall clashed with each other breaking each other into pieces resulting in opening the whole entrance of the cave

Although I now also know how to dissipate this ice using my power, it would require a greater amount of energy than if I were to destroy it. In addition, if I were to encounter any enemies during my travel, I must ensure that I conserve my strength for any potential battles.

'What?' I looked back at Aria and saw the girl looking at me with anger in her eyes Which is barely holding back the tears as she stands in the corner of the cave while her body is trembling like she is afraid of me but she is in a position like she will attack me at any moment

[ Probably because from her point of view your power is very similar to the people who killed her mother is most likely she is thinking you are probably one of them ]

Damn it, why I didn't think of that, I should have expected it after all earlier she was unconscious when I used my power, so this should be her first time seeing me using my power

"It's okay I am not with them" I tried to explain this with the most gentle tone possible while I took out my wings

As I continue to speak "See I don't have blue skin like them and moreover I have wings"

What was that?... For a moment I definitely saw her eyes shine bright red but the next instant it's become normal

Is that my illusion? Or something? But now she has become calm unlike before, her trembling stopped as well as she has been relaxed from the moment before

Did she really believe me?... Is she really trusting me? ... Is all children easy to deceive? Maybe I need to teach her not to trust others so easily

"Let's go if it's okay for you now," I asked this since I don't know how long the weather will be like this

*Nodded*

She nodded her head as she moved towards the entrance but still, she moved like she is trying to avoid any body contact with me now

*Sigh* great now I have to gain her trust again, but at least she is not treating me as an enemy

I follow Aria as I got outside and saw everything is now covered in snow even more than before, now even walking on the ground is much more difficult because of how is thick the snow now become

I looked upwards and saw the sky is still covered with clouds but at least the storm is cleared now 

Well aria is having a very hard time walking on snow, wait for This may be my chance to regain her trust

I quickly take out my wings, and flew towards her sensing my presence she shrank back 

"It's better to go from fly since it will be very difficult to walk now," I said in a soft tone while I opened my arms for her as I wait for her 

Again?... I am definitely sure her eyes shone again, and this time it's not my illusion, I am pretty must guessing that she is using her so-called 'Gift'
