Chapter 32: Aria

—---------------

Chapter- 32

—---------------

I patiently asked her my questions which she answers one by one without any break

After answering every question which I had in my mind, she went to sleep again which was reasonable after what she went through

During this whole questioning and answering thing, I got a general idea about how the economy works here

In essence, unlike other species that tend to segregate themselves into factions and vie for dominance over each other, this species is different.

Based on my understanding and her answers, it seems that Harelings are a type of species that have evolved to live together in a single, large community, this could be because their natural environment provides for all of their needs, including food, water, and shelter, making it unnecessary for them to compete or fight with each other.

Therefore, Harelings have developed a unique social structure where cooperation and mutual support are highly valued, resulting in a harmonious and peaceful community.

And this child's name is Aria, she lives with her mother in that society until recently they moved out of that society to live in some hidden area in these mountains

The reason was her mother, actually, according to Aria, her mother's gift is to see the future. And the people born with this kind of gift are extremely rare in their society

Regrettably, despite the exceptional rarity of her gift, her people regarded it as the most worthless of all gifts. This was because her gift demanded a significant amount of natural energy, and it required an extensive amount of time to even produce a single prediction. Additionally, the majority of predictions made by her gift were frequently inaccurate.

And in her mother's case, there wasn't even a single prediction of her that came out true within that society

Eight months ago, her mother had a premonition about an imminent danger looming over the land in just two months. However, her previous predictions were dismissed as false, and despite repeatedly warning everyone for a month, no one believed her. Frustrated, she decided to leave the place with Aria, as they head towards the mountain for safety

And then this natural phenomenon, yeah apparently they had never seen snowfall before, so they called this 'natural phenomenon' started after a month when they left that place, and it never stopped till now making nature die day by day

It was said that the Harelings would manifest their extraordinary abilities at the tender age of twelve. Aria had only turned twelve a few days ago, and her mother was elated when Aria successfully unleashed her gift. However, their joy was short-lived.

The very next day, they were ambushed by a group of individuals who were completely blue, much like that guy. It became clear that they were under his command, and this revelation shattered their newfound happiness

Her mom tried to stop them with her body alone while she told her to run away to a safe place by using her power

Perhaps the weight of all these memories took a toll on her mind, for she could not speak any further and eventually succumbed to tears

before falling asleep.

But there are still many questions still remain unanswered, like why all the predictions went wrong as well as Aria didn't tell me about the specification of her mother's prediction

'Do you know anything about it?' I inwardly asked this system, I couldn't think of any answer but fortunately, l at least have some idea now

[ Perhaps her mother's future sight 'gift' doesn't show her actual future but one of the possible futures]

'What do you mean?' I thought this in my mind with confusion, since I don't have any idea of what system is talking about

[ The future, by its very nature, remains shrouded in uncertainty, making it impossible for anyone to predict with complete accuracy. Yet, her mother possesses a unique gift - the ability to imagine what lies ahead, even if it's just a potential future. And in that imagined world, the slightest shift in events can cause an entirely different outcome to unfold ]

"I see that's a very… reasonable explanation" I muttered this unconsciously, as I found this explanation very reasonable

And I am guessing the prediction of danger that her mother came out true because they weren't able to do any significant thing that can cause to change the future

[ Affirmative ]

"Hmmm" I guess I will go to that society for more knowledge and if I by chance encounter more people like them, I should capture them for explanation

According to Aria's story, that guy should be some commander of the 'blue people' army, then I probably will not have any problem with capturing one of their soldiers

But what should I do with her?... Bringing her with me will only slow me down, as well as her life will be in danger too

Looking at her cute figure sleeping peacefully in my arms, I couldn't help but worry for her

I don't know what to do with her. Now she has no one to rely upon one nor she doesn't know where to go

Not to mention my conscience will be not at peace if I don't leave her in a safe place

By the way, she didn't tell me about her 'gift', which she was able to use to outrun him for more than a day, nor I saw any sign of those other people who break into Aria's house under him

Maybe first I should go to her house, but for that, I need to ask her first

I looked outside the ice to see the weather has become calm, now I only need to wait for her to wake then take her with me

'System do you have any means to take her back with me?' I inwardly asked this, if I couldn't able to find her a safe place in the remaining time, then I probably want to take her with me after time runs out

I mean look at her how can anyone has the heart to abandon someone cute as her in such a dangerous place
