After the meeting with Uranus, Viggo learned where the trap was. Viggo could obtain the divinity of Zeus and keep his own, but in turn, he could no longer receive help from Kiara within this world. All that could be something relative to mortals and even to the gods, but the primordials could know it immediately. Every time Kiara advised Viggo she filled him with a knowledge that turned into energy and that in turn saturated the destination. What in the long run has changed destiny until it becomes unrecognizable from the initial intentions of the primordial creator. However, since Viggo was born in Orario and was part of the experiment of said primordial, he would allow its continuation. Kiara could be with Viggo, she could talk to him and advise him on mundane things, but she could no longer intervene in his fate. If she intervened once again, she would be sent out of the dimension where the planet of Orario was.
Now, within desert plains with nothing but rock and earth for miles, Viggo watched as the goddess Hera burned like a huge sphere of fire in the distance. Kiara accompanied him holding his right hand and together they watched the rebirth of a great goddess.
Kain to Viggo's left, raised his gaze to the sky looking at the sphere of fire in which Hera was reborn as goddess, away from the influence of the creator of Orario, while holding his son Dorian in his arms.
-Father, we will retire- said Viggo, for the process of the goddess would not end in an hour or two.
Kain looked away from the sphere of fire levitating more than thirty meters high and a hundred meters away. He looked at his son, whose eyes now looked as if an electric glow crossed from side to side inside the eyeball. Kain looked at Kiara and asked -Will he be, okay?
-Yes, I have limited his power to the point that he can occupy the maximum capacity of his body without killing himself in the process- Kiara said.
-Thank you- Kain replied.
Viggo looked at his father's face, the jovial and joking man who always had good advice, looked dull. Viggo didn't feel as affected, let alone after what happened with Jason. However, Kain was struck by the deaths of Jason and Odysseus. Well, it wasn't the same for both of them. Even though Viggo had known Jason and the others for years and called him brother. They were like distant relatives who saw a few times a month to visit them. It was great to be the brother of someone like that, they were the best adventurers, but Viggo and his brothers were children, they couldn't walk where the elite adventurers were. On the other hand, Kain watched them grow up and trained them, he cared about them even now that they were old.
Viggo looked back and saw Flora carrying her baby in her arms who named Kain after her father. On her right side, Achilles was standing and embracing her as she watched as the goddess inside the sphere of fire was reborn.
Just a week ago, Viggo would have sworn that Achilles was about thirty years old, but now, by his expression of sorrow and look, he could swear that he had reached forty. Her hair was still blond, short, friendly-looking and attractive, but something had taken the shine out of her eyes. On the other hand, Flora, with her baby in her arms, kept arranging her blonde hair into a long ponytail, but something made her look older and sad.
Viggo looked back at his father and said -Take care of yourself, father, I'll let the aunts know you to delay a bit-
-Yes, boy- Kain said with a discouraged smile -I need to take care of Hera and create a place for Flora and Achilles to rest. There is a lot to order and prepare, I will be back in a couple of months-
Viggo nodded, Kain held baby Dorian with his left hand, and made a piece of Eliana's painted picture of the painted world appear in his right hand. Viggo and Kiara holding hands approached and stared at Kain.
-Take care of yourself, father, I'll take care of the family- Viggo said earnestly to which Kain responded with a renewed smile.
-I'm old boy, for a brat like you to say those things, I can only say I'm old- Kain replied.
Viggo smiled and shook his head. He takes the piece of painted canvas and then walk to where his sister Flora was. She looked him in the eye and Viggo could have sworn she was older than him for a couple of years. Viggo and Kiara stopped in front of Flora and Achilles. They looked at them, smiled and waited.
-I'm leaving, I'll come from time to time- said Viggo.
-You shouldn't- said Flora -once Hera regains her shape, we'll travel to a city or something. It will be a long way off-
-Fool, I'll make whatever effort it takes to see you- said Viggo, Flora's eyes filled with tears, which only made Achilles feel worse. After all, he was the reason why Flora and baby Kain were here. According to fate, he had to die so that the energy of his soul and spirit would return to the natural cycle of life. Since he and Hera escaped their fate, neither could remain in Orario. Their mere presence would distort reality.
-Achilles, brother, don't make that face- said Viggo.
Achilles looked Viggo in the eye, seeing a serious and firm expression, different from the troubled child he was years ago. In his eyes you could see a beam of electricity circling and making him look magical, divine, powerful. He didn't know it, but it was scary. Now Viggo emitted a very different presence than mortals.
-Flora is here for you- Viggo continuous -your newborn son needs you. Jason and Odysseus wanted this life for you, live it for them. You are all that remains of the three, live three lives, enjoy and be happy for all three. It's the least you can do- then he looked at Flora and continued -you're not alone Flora, you have Achilles and your son. Father will help you; you are strong, you can achieve it. When I said I trusted you to succeed anywhere, I meant it. You were always smarter and more cunning than me or Tatsu-
-To be Viggo- said Flora, with a smile and tears in her eyes -you talk pretty-
-You say it as if being me were a detriment-
-You're still a problem little brother- Flora said.
-Yes, I know- Viggo replied in a soft voice -that's why I'll keep visiting you, maybe, I need my older sister to scold me-
Flora nodded, Viggo approached her and uncovered little Kain's face. A baby with blond hair, for now he was too small to say who he looks like, but Viggo would swear that he is the living reflection of Flora. Viggo kissed his forehead, walked away from Flora and Achilles, staring at them. They nodded, Viggo and Kiara nodded. Viggo turned his face, looked at his father, but he looked up at the sky, where the sphere of fire floated like a cocoon for the goddess to transform.
Viggo shook his head, precious the piece of canvas in his left hand and channeled mana while looking at Flora and Achilles. He disappeared along with Kiara and appeared in the room of Kain's house that before, as a child, was forbidden to him. The place was still spacious and large, with the gigantic painted picture of the world in its beginnings.
Viggo looked down, sad at how things ended and let out a sigh. Kiara next to him hugged him and Viggo hugged her in response. Although there were both of them, the cold, stagnant air, and silence in this room felt unpleasant.
-Come on- said Viggo -I don't like this place-
-Yes- Kiara replied.
Viggo and Kiara left the room in the painted painting and found Mikoto and Isabel sitting on stools in front of the door. Her aunt Mikoto seemed fine, but her aunt Isabel, Flora's mother, had a terrible appearance. According to Kain, she couldn't see Flora anymore.
-How are you, Viggo?- asked Isabel, full of hope, with blonde hair like her daughter, but with more than thirty years in her body that now, with this sorrow, seemed to have been added another ten.
-Fine aunt- replied Viggo, let go of Kiara's hand and walked to Isabel, gave her a tight hug, and whispered -don't worry, Dad is there, and he will make sure they don't lack anything-
-That, that, that's good- Isabel said, letting tears fall down her cheeks. Trying to show an optimistic smile, but it seemed that no word of comfort in the world would make her change her mind.
-I- said Viggo -I'll talk to Dad; I'll talk to whoever I need. I promise you; I'll somehow fix this, and you'll be able to see Flora- he could feel Isabel hugging him tighter and burying her fingers in her back in sheer despair -don't worry, auntie, I'll do my best, talk to whoever it takes. I will not disappoint you-
-Thank you, Viggo- said Isabel, turning her face away and combing his red locks as when Viggo was a child. She looked at him sweetly -thank you, seriously thank you, but…-
Viggo shook his head and said -this isn't just for you, it's also for Flora and my nephew. Don't worry, I'll keep my word-
-I feel a bit old if Viggo talks that way. It seems that you became a responsible adult, and I became a useless old woman-
-Don't say anything, auntie, you are my family. Just trust me-
Isabel nodded, Viggo hugged her, then hugged Mikoto and said goodbye to them. Once Viggo left Kain's house, he looked at her once more and found it too huge. Now not only was he missing in the house, but also Flora. Tatsumi planned to travel as they talked about it that time, but wondered if he would continue with that idea, as things were. Viggo and Kiara traveled in the carriage to Hephaestus' mansion where they were all taking refuge. For several days Orario remained affected by the destruction of the two families. Therefore, the businesses of Semiramis and Scheherezade remained closed.
As a side note, Semiramis had become the owner of the large conglomerate of companies, jewelry stores and mines extracting precious materials. His last acquisition of damask ore had given great prestige to the goddess Hera who had now passed to Semiramis.
At the same time, Sakura, Ana and Rosewisse had stayed in the house taking care of Bell, fascinated by such a quiet and smiling baby.
When Viggo and Kiara arrived at the mansion, they stopped at the entrance and looked into each other's eyes. Kiara looked at Viggo sadly, Viggo smiled confidently, he walked over and hugged her. He kissed her on the cheek and then on the lips. They kissed for a few minutes until they separated and held hands.
Viggo looked at Kiara, dressed in her nun's clothes, with an oval face and yellow pupils -come from time to time. Maybe we can't keep the same contact as before, but that doesn't mean I've stopped loving you. You were the best start I could have had, with you I learned everything-
-I, I will come back from time to time, I want to see your children and how the girls are. You are all my favorites. I love them all, you, Semiramis, Scheherezade, Sakura and Ana. You are all a great start for me-
-I'm happy I met you- Viggo said.
-Me to you, Viggo Dragonroad, the one whose name is Guerra-
-It also means Fire- said Viggo.
Kiara showed a funny smile and added -the one named Fire, like the passion of lovers. Like the sun that blesses the earth-
Both of them let go of their hands and looked at each other for the last time. Viggo smiled at all times, but when Kiara vanished, she leaned on the door of the house and fell sitting on the ground. Then he brought his right hand to his face and wept silently. All because he was weak, all because he was not yet master of his destiny or what was happening around him. All because there was someone more powerful than him and his father.
