16 16 - (Ellyn/Sebastian) A destination to fulfill...
...
In my world, has a story that I like to remember sometimes... The story of a girl ... She was a girl living in a world full of mystical things where it was possible to see fairies in the woods, giant howling wolves in kilometers and even gods. Pure and perfect gods who cared for this world so organized and chaotic at the same time... A world where this girl had to learn to live to become someone ...
This girl didn't have much, but what she had was special to her. And besides, she had her mother, a brave woman who always protected everyone who needed help and played her role as a mother with this girl who always asked... Where is my father? And the mother always said that he was there with her all the time, always watching over her, even if the girl didn't see.
The girl has a childhood happy, with friends of their age when they could always playing with her, older people who liked to see the radiant smile that girl and people who dominated mystical magic and elementary who were delighted with the look of that girl ...
This girl's mother always said that one day she would see her father in a moment of clarity that she needed, when she needed a way forward. A destination to fulfill. And that day would soon come ...
When the girl turned 15, she went to a temple that her mother was devoted to a certain god. It was always said that all young people who reached the age of 15 should go to a temple destined for one of the countless gods of that world to understand what their destiny in the world would be . And when that girl got down on her knees and asked for her fate ...
The skies darkened and a great tornado was forming over the temple that was discovered as a way to make the pray of young people rise and be heard by the gods. That tornado was not destroying anything , but it made a huge gale that scared everyone inside the temple, except for the girl who was kneeling and with her eyes closed, afraid of her destiny being death ... But when the winds stopped , the girl opened your eyes and saw what was in front of you ...
They say that the gods appear in two ways ... One was from constellations formed in the heavens and the other was like a being wrapped in the element he represented ... And there he was ... The God of the wind, wrapped in a green light and small air currents circling him, as he watched the girl with a look serene and happy ... and it was enough he extend his hand to the girl and say that one word she ever imagined I 'd hear ... Daughter...
At that moment, everyone present there knelt before the girl, who did not understand why she was in front of that person she always asked her mother . And it was like this, that she discovered that she was not a normal girl and that her destiny would be much more than she imagined ...
...
- That girl ... It was you, right?
- Yeah, it was me.
- So, you are a demigod in your world ?
- Generally, in my world, they call "Elementary Heroes" so that there is no distinction between everyone and those who manipulated magic, saying that everyone had the same potential. Which was a blatant lie ...
- Why a lie?
- Because ... Everything changed after that day ...
...
My father then told me to enter the temple with him that I would receive something from him. As we walked , I really wanted to hug him, but he didn't seem happy or showing any emotion when he saw me. It was a painful feeling to be close to my father and not be able to say anything.
After we walked in the temple, he and I ended up stopping in front of a door with symbols on it that were shining strongly, until my father touched her and the door opened . When we entered ... It was like a paradise ... It seemed another world, where there was a continuation of the temple with some pillars covered with vegetation, the sun was shining enough and had an open field, showing a landscape breathtaking that left me amazed. Then my father stayed there in the middle of that temple for a few seconds and a few pedestals appeared with some items. All the items were my father's mystical weapons and he asked me to choose one. And I chose ...
* concentrating green energy in my hand until I feel a light weight
- The Mystical Bow of Storms . My father's favorite weapon.
- Hooooo ...
- I also made that face you are making.
- Let me see if I get it right ... Does he conjure storms?
- It's not like that ... I can create arrows using my magic and I can enchant them to have different properties and so they can become storms or any variation I want, from a rain of arrows or a large scale destructive tornado.
- Now I understand why it is your father's favorite weapon. ..
...
He told me that I had made a great choice and that from then on, that weapon would be mine. To help my destiny ... Become a hero of that world and protect all beings from destruction. A role that only true heroes would have the courage to accept ... But before accepting my destiny, I hugged my father with all the strength I could. And he ... hugged me back and apologized to me for not being present as he always wanted, but he was always watching me from the skies, because of the constellation that bears his name ... Sagittarius.
- So ... Your name ...
- Everyone knew me only as Ellyn, an energetic girl who put a smile on the face of others because of my excitement about everything they did. But when I took the Bow and left the temple, everyone would know me only by my name ... Sagittarius Ellyn, the daughter of the god Sagittarius and future protector of the world of Elementia.
- Elementia? By the name, the magic that has dominance in your world is using the elements, correct?
- Yes. Almost all Elementia beings use of at least one element to use on your spells or anything like that. Therefore, there is a division between some races that is defined by the element they used , which could define even the god to whom they were devoted. My mother is a descendant of humans and beings called "Druids" , which she allowed to have access to spells related to nature and it made her to be devoted to my father before generate me.
- That would sound very wrong if it were here ...
- I also think that.
- And how was the experience of becoming a hero?
- It was an incredible feeling ...
...
Due to my divine nature and my mother's Druid descent , I ended up learning a lot about how to use elemental wind magic and variations of using druid magic to control aspects of nature for 6 months and another 6 months I was training intense to use my father's mystical bow , using wind and nature as reinforcements. Over time, the bow ended up looking more rustic, but it ended up becoming more efficient for me to enchant my arrows. And when I turned 16, I hugged my mom and started my journey as a hero.
It was 6 years of doing this role. I explored many places that I only heard in my mother's stories. Always passing through countless villages and cities , always helping people who needed help, from keeping company with a lady of near age to death to helping in a hunt for a demonic being that would destroy a great kingdom in my world . Glorious years as a hero, but ...
- But?
- But it was these glorious years that gave me my regret ...
...
Do you know when people treat you differently when they know something about you? It is a sensation that I had to feel when I discovered that I was a demigod . Before that point, I was treated like a normal person , where people would talk to me and ask how I felt . After that, everyone turned away from me because they believed that I had more important things to do than to care for them, inferior beings before a deity... but I didn't like that. I have always cared for people and wanted to be close to them, different from what many famous heroes in my world did that was in the greatest moments of wars and not caring about the victims of those wars, with the people they swore to protect. And I always wanted to be among them when I could, but always ... they moved away from me ...
And because of that ... I was not close to my mother when she passed away ...
- Ellyn ...
She was already sick before I turned 15, but her illness got much worse during the time I was acting like a heroine. And when she dies... I could only feel a tightness in my heart from miles away . And the only thing I wanted was to go home, but they didn't let me because ... because her destiny was complete from the moment she gave birth to me ... But ... She was the only person who ever I asked how I felt and that feeling of having a home with someone waiting for me to return was over ...
* cleaning my face
- But you came back ?
- I came back ... And I didn't want to leave there ... But things didn't change ... I was at my house, crying, mourning my mother's death ... But nobody bothered to come in and console me , ask how I was ... Why did they think that I ... as a deity ... would decide what would be best for me ...
- And your father?
- I was always watching me ... But only in heaven ... Looking at his daughter suffering, crying ... and unwilling to fulfill her destination ...
*silence
- That is , until ... she appears ... the being that was higher than even my father ... the creator of my world and many others ...
...
It was on a starry night like the one we met, Sebastian ... I was kneeling, crying out to the gods to take away my destiny ... To take away what made me different from people ... To let me live as I please ... But I didn't hear anything ... Until for a moment, I felt a soft hand on my head. When I looked up, there she was ...
She didn't look like anyone in my world. She was wearing a jacket with a cyan and black blue hood, a pair of shorts similar to the one I am wearing and striped socks in black and cyan blue. Her hair was blue cyan as well as her eyes, her skin was white as mine and she seemed're flying, with a kind of visor in his eyes ... She just said ... Why are you so sad, Ellyn? ... I realized at that moment that she was someone powerful and that she was not calling me for what I was in that world ...
She is called Creator Luni, a kind of cosmic deity called "creator", a being able to create and destroy universes in a few seconds . She told me that the gods were not beings capable of providing for my needs, for they were so concerned with their own egos that they found it insulting that a demigod asked to lose their divine nature. And so, Luni came to me ...
- So what happened?
She asked me if I wanted to become something much more than I was. I said that I didn't want to become someone superior to anyone. She just told me that I would be the person I wanted ... And that's how she invited me to become a Gacha . I would not change my status as a demigod , but I could be summoned when necessary to other worlds and help other people. I thought it was just an excuse to continue what I was in Elementia, but ... When I met some other Gachas and what they were like ... I felt happy. It was the first time in a long time that someone asked me how I felt or how I saw things. .. I gained a desire to help in my world and other worlds too ... In addition to gaining friends who cared about me ...
...
- Wow. You could have summed it up, don't you think?
- Yes, I could. But if I summarized it, I might end up forgetting something and it wouldn't be the whole truth that I would be willing to tell you.
- I see. And why didn't you tell it before?
- Why ... I didn't want you to treat me differently when you found out. I thought that if I didn't tell you it would be better, but ... You heard me, gave me this outfit and still offer your home for me to rest. I thought you were weird , but you just acted like yourself.
- And were you afraid that I would try harder?
- No ... I was afraid that you would do the same as I did ... Just accept and don't think about what can happen after something so different happened to you ...
*silence
- So I will ask you, Sebastian ... Knowing who I am and knowing that it is something much bigger than you think ... Will you still want to help me?
Sebastian just looked at me with a neutral look, but it was n't long before he smiled and ...
- " Ellyn, count on me as you wish~~"
That would be your choice anyway, right?
...
- So ... Are you going to tell me where you were these days? - Yeah...
- I was with a friend of mine.
- Gacha too?
- Yes. He came to the same mission that I and I met him recently. - He found me, but ldt's forget this...
- Okay. What do I do?
- Well, I'm meeting him today and I'm going to see if there's a way for you and him to meet each other, besides the person who made the contract with him.
- Wait ... Has he made the contract?
- Yes, he did yesterday, actually ... - And it was something funny ~~
*silence
- Sebastian, the history of the contract ... If you don't want to, no problem. I can regulate my energy.
- But you said yourself that you had little energy. And it was invisible today. I thought it was only when necessary.
- I said, but ... I think sometimes, certain waste has its reasons ...
At that moment, Sebastian just looks at me in surprise, as if that answer is something he didn't expect to hear. Did I say something wrong?
- But if you want to make the contract ... We can do it now, Sebastian ...
- Are you sure? Like, I think someone could see us ...
- They won't. Before we came here, my friend put a restriction stamp on that place. So, nobody will realize that we are here.
- Wow. Is your friend a demigod too?
- No. He is closer to something different than a demigod.
- I know ... So ... Ellyn, if this contract is going to replenish your energy ... L-Let's do ...
*silence
- Okay...
Before I could say anything, Sebastian was going to start taking off his shirt .
- Hey! Y-You don't need that, Sebastian!
- Huh ? But it wasn't what you said needed to be done to ...
- You don't need to take your shirt off. There are other ways to make the contract.
- And what would be?
That's the problem ...
- J-Just ... I need you to close your eyes ... And don't open it until I say you can ...
- Fine...
Sebastian ended up closing his eyes and stood there, shaking with nerves. Ironic why it's not just him ...
* putting my hands on Sebastian's face
- Relax, Sebastian ... Just relax ...
* green energy starting to emerge around me
Just like Jack Ace said ... Contracts work as a way to energize or replenish our energy when we are worn out and the person who made the contract only needs to rest to recover the energy taken in case we need ... But to be very effective. .. It is necessary that the contract is made in a spiritual connection between who is going and is in the contract ... But for that ... I need to concentrate ... And do this soon ... Without being embarrassed afterwards ...
* green energy covering me and Sebastian
And now...
...
************ Sebastian perspective **********
...
- N-Now you can open your eyes ...
I open my eyes and see Ellyn in front of me, but I can tell she is red with embarrassment. Like me...
* touching my lips
D-Did she really do what I'm thinking?
- C-Can you stop looking at me for a moment, please?
- Ah, s-sorry !
Me and Ellyn have their faces turned, not looking at each other. But that feeling in my mouth ... I can't stop thinking about it ... Ahhhh !
- Ellyn ...
- Y-Yes ?
- How do I know if the ...
- Sebastian, your arm.
Ellyn points to my arm and I see that on top of my scar, a kind of green light appears like a leaf . I think...
- Well, the contract is done, Sebastian!
As much as Ellyn is trying to take possession of "I did it!", She keeps looking at me nervous about what just happened ...
- ( sigh ) Good. What now, Ellyn?
- Well ... Let's go ! I'm hungry, so I'm going to want something sweet, okay?
Ellyn seems to have awakened one side tsundere level for why she's sulky and starts walking out of that little space for ... whatever ... forget what happened.
- (sigh) Okay, Ellyn ...
What a strange demigod ... But still, as human as anyone ...
