2 weeks later
I float over to Kara on Nymbus with a basket of fruit, chicken strips, and some beans.
He was sitting under a tree watching Lia
"Apa, worm?" She raises the bowl of worms she was collecting
"No, I don't want a worm." He grumbles
"Oh you wa-du pet o worm?" She sniffs a little booger back into her nose.
"No I don't."
"Why, Apa?"
"Do you want to pet it?"
"No." She pouts
"Me neither."
"Dey don have teef. Just pet o worm, Apa."
"You pet it."
"Ew." She scrunches her nose
"Hehehe" I giggle before plopping onto his lap
I wave a chicken strip up to his mouth.
We snack and cuddle, watching the sun set.
I thought he was angry with me from last time, but finally after 2 weeks he began kissing me again.
We were so close. I even forgot Lia was playing right behind me. Feeling the heat between us for the first time in the past week was driving me-
…
He turns away…
…
"Whats wrong?" I sniffed as he stared at the setting sun.
Just as the light sank under the horizon, he pulled me aside before disappearing into the Forest.
"Oh God… Oh please help me…" I hold my chest. Feeling the same pain I felt seeing Himiko crucified in front of me.
My heart aches, knowing he's going to someone else.
What I said must've cut deep…
Did I push him away? Does he hate me?
Lia's small little touch catches my trembling hand.
She looks at my hand curiously before looking up, her mouth hanging open
She turns to the forest, probably wondering where her father ran off to
…
I take her to Himiko's grave
Lia began picking flowers as I sat down with Himiko, praying for her soul and asking for help myself.
Kara… he's lost.
I'm afraid I can't get through to him.
Please God. Please Hear Me. There's only so much I can say. There's only so much I can do.
Please don't let him submit to his Despair. Please, Father. Open his heart. Reveal yourself to him. That I may show him the love you have shown me.
"Please God. I can't help him any more than you can…"
…
I weep into my hands.
My tears run down my arms before Lia places three flowers into my lap
I wipe my face as she hands me three little pebbles. She waddles over to Himiko's grave and places three more pebbles on her blank tombstone.
She sits down and starts plucking the grass
…
After catching my breath I leave the pebbles and flowers with Himiko and I scoop Lia up, carrying her back home.
…
Pov.
-Kara-
"So glad you came, Kara." Esdeath rides me in our blood stained bath.
"I was bored." I hold her hips
"I know-I know." She moans "still angry about Himiko?"
…
"Turn around…" I huff
"Hmm." She smiles before spinning around my cock
She bounces her ass, brutally nailing her cervix. With no regard for the child inside her…
I try slowing her pace, but she rebels by nailing herself harder. Impaling me deeper inside her till she bleeds…
And I just let it happen…
I pull her hair back, fueling her lust
After cumming a few times I take her ass.
By the time we relived ourselves again we arrive in Thailand
"So cute!"
The young slaves begin patting us down as I finish pumping her full.
The slave girls flock around me, with my clothes
One of them caught my gaze after I noticed she had the same silver hair as Eri.
Each of them was her age. Children, Esdeath had them running around in their nakedness doing their chores or performing degenerate acts with her soldiers
…
The slave girl blushes as I throw my pants on.
Just as I take Chaos from her small hand, her head slides clean off her shoulders.
I caught Esdeath's blade before she could go for the next girl.
I glare at Esdeath as the slave girl's blood paints my chest and her corpse falls to my feet.
The other girls scrambled behind me.
"I don't like the way they look at you."
"So you just killed her?"
Esdeath glares at me, with the same piercing eyes that remind me of Lucy.
"It's bad enough I have to share it with you, Cana…" She heads out onto the deck.
I turn around.
'Thank you mister' one of the girls mouthed as the other girls nod.
Esdeath removed their tongues so they could take me deeper… Even after I refused.
…
I step out.
She's obsessed.
She takes every opportunity to please me. And every opportunity to keep me for herself. A clear contrast of Cana.
…
After desecrating a few cities I reached Bangkok as Esdeath got held back having her own fun.
I walk down the streets that are swarmed with tanks and soldiers.
They unleash everything they have.
…
I apply the mathematical concept of infinity within a three foot radius of myself, creating an infinitely divided space between myself and anything that enters the space.
Thousands of bullets slow and eventually pause along with tank and mortar shells
I flick my wrist, sending everything back with enough speed and force to shred the entire block and everything in it.
I continue to the capital building, everyone and everything, dropping dead like flies at the exposure of my presence.
…
With the annihilation of his entire military force, the President had no problem surrendering himself to the Empire.
…
I joined Esdeath.
To no surprise I walked into a massacre.
The slave girls in my bedroom were sprawled out on the ground as Esdeath wiped her blade at my bed.
"Thats enough of that." She smiles
What the hell is wrong with her? I fidget with Chaos, snapping the ring into various knives as I spin it around my finger
"Think I give a shit?"
…
"I know you do… that's what makes me sick." She rolls her eyes.
Chaos snaps into a Katana.
She catches my blade with her own.
I drew my blade so quick and precise that it split the entire ship in half, along with every other monstrous vessel that accompanied us to the continent.
"You really want to do this, Kara?" She tilts her head, letting my blade creep towards her belly. "Have you forgotten who I'm carrying?" She leans in.
My child…
"Tch." I rolled my eyes, teleporting 500 meters into the sky and I watched thousands of vessels catch fire and sink into the ocean from that single attack.
"How annoying." She hugs my neck, floating behind me
She sheaths her blade. I manage to see the carving that reads 'Sussanoo' near the hilt, reminding me of everything I put that damn blade through back in Eldia…
Nothing has changed.
…
I teleported back to the castle where I left her…
I take a detour on my way home and settle on a mountain peak with a clear view of the Capital.
…
I stood there for hours, watching as everyone just lived their lives. Without a clue who or what was watching them.
Children sang and laughed, while others cried and begged for mercy.
No matter how far I push myself, she is all I can think about.
No matter how hard I try to return to what I was, she's there, reeling me back.
Even in her absence I can't do anything without thinking of her. I can't see anything without seeing her. And the family she built around me.
The emptiness I felt before is shallow.
But it still hurts. More than ever.
I stand in the rain
The pain is still there…
If it's supposed to be so beautiful…
Why does it hurt?
If it's supposed to be the end all be all…
Why is it so dim?
Why does it fade?
…
I look up at the sky. The stormy clouds swirling around the entire region
How will forgiveness change a thing?
How will it erase the eternity of despair you left me to endure?
…
Speak to me. If it is true what Cana said…
…
If you are really watching me suffer…
Tell me why… What did I do to deserve your wrath?
…
A lightning bolt nearly strikes my chest
I catch it, before sending it back into the sky, charged with millions times more powerful
The clouds crack before lightning strikes across the entire region, lighting everything up in an instant.
"WHO HAS BEEN THE FIRST TO GIVE TO ME THAT I SHOULD REPAY HIM?"
A loud thunderous voice nearly blows me away as I'm blinded by his light.
"EVERYTHING UNDERNEATH THE HEAVENS IS MINE."
…
"What about me?"
…
Why did you create me so?
…
But nothing.
…
I fall on my hands and knees
…
How long? Will You Forget Me Forever?
How long will You hide Your face?
How long must I feel so empty?
How long will my Pain be exalted over me?
"Have I not drowned in despair long enough to hear your voice?"
After an eternity of scilence…
That was all he had to say
…
I watch the consuming fire that enveloped the region.
Rather than annihilating the forest it birthed trees and filled the region with flowers.
The trees grew past their peaks, leaving a breathless landscape by the time the flames and the rain ceased…
I sit down, to take in the sight
…
The very flames that should have burned everything to the ground gave life. The smell of ash turned into green sap and the heat shifted into cool mist
…
Everything's Underneath the heavens…
Cana said something similar
'My Pain is yours and yours is Mine'
…
Does He feel my Pain?
…
Does He feel the anguish I brought to His creation?
…
Is it the same that I felt watching Esdeath massacre those children?
…
Why not strike me down?
Is it for the same reason I couldn't bring myself to strike Esdeath? Because she carries my son?
…
I don't know what to do anymore…
I just want to give up.
But he won't let me.
I would rather be in hell than this nightmare.
There my pain is real. It exists because that's all that is.
Here it's twisted and amplified by something greater than myself.
