The crimson moon of eternal glow is a little too bright in the life and death realm. As it glowed, Death's attention was taken away from Henry to the crimson moon.
She sensed an unusual presence coming from the crimson moon, her eyes calmly staring at it while holding Henry on his shoulder.
"Sister…" She speaks as she gently lets Henry's shoulder go. She turns toward the crimson moon and starts taking steps slowly.
Henry's eyes widen as he finds himself sitting on red ground; he narrows his eyes toward Death and starts staring at her. He stood up and gripped tight on the Celestial cage tightly.
Henry put his right hand on his chest and closed his eyes. "Hey, witch… Where the hell are you…? I need your help…"
His voice got thicker as he spoke, and he opened his eyes after hearing his own voice.
Suddenly, a voice pops up in Henry's mind, which sounds like it is in a hurry.
"Henry… what hell you did know… don't tell me you are in the realm of eternity…"
Henry's eyes were shocked as he heard that voice, but before he could reply, Death, while walking toward the crimson moon, whispered with calmness in her voice.
"Yes… he is… But I'll not let you save him… Not this time… He breaks eternal rules; he must pay the price…"
Henry looks at Death while confused; he doesn't understand why Death is calling Waguri his sister. He speaks up when Death is done speaking.
"Hey… What the hell is she talking about…?" From the look on his face, it looks like he is about to blow his mind because of thinking.
Waguri didn't reply immediately; instead, the sound of something breaking came. She then speaks up with annoyance.
"Henry, will you please shut up for a moment… We'll talk later… Do you even know what kind of situation you are in right…"
She shifted her tone to calmness and spoke, while it felt like she was breaking something.
"Sister… first of all, I don't come here to save him…"
Death shocked her a little for the first time in her whole existence. She started moving hurriedly and flew toward the crimson moon, which was in the sky.
"What are you doing in the eternal crimson moon? You are breaking the eternal soul realm…?"
Death speaks in a serious tone while flying toward the crimson moon. The crimson moon seems to be really close to the ground of the realm of eternity. But as Death flew toward it, it felt like it was farther away from the ground.
Henry kept his eyes on the sky as he stared at Death, who kept flying toward the crimson moon. He put his right hand on his right ear and tried to connect with Éloïse.
"Éloïse, can you hear me…" He kept repeating these words, but he was unable to connect with Éloïse, and then he gave up on this method.
His whole existence in this eternal realm was nothing more than that of a mortal. He was unable to do anything against death, but then, after thinking for some time, a thought crossed through his mind.
Wait… I didn't try to think a single time the moment I came into this realm… Is it because of Death? I actually can think of something.
He starts putting some focus on his mind to think of a solution; he grips the celestial cage with his finger, covering most of the celestial cage.
He can't think of any solution to get out of this place; he puts his right hand on his head while grabbing his hair in his fingers.
Seriously? I can't think of a single solution… Is it because it's not the real world…
Henry keeps thinking while shifting his focus to Death, who has already approached the Crimson Moon.
She pointed her hand toward the crimson moon and whispered with a gentle, calm voice, "Open…"
As she speaks, the crimson moon, which seems to be connected in pieces, opens while scattering those pieces away. As the crimson moon opens itself, a clear crimson-black illusion covers it from inside.
Death keeps pointing her hand while her eyes widen a little in calmness. She opened her lips and whispered, "Come out, sister…"
A foot came out of the crimson illusion, stepping in the air, and after a short while, Waguri came out while crossing her arms with each other.
She stared at Death in her eyes; she didn't speak at all. She looks down at the ground and finds Henry confused. She looked back at Death and whispered with calmness.
"Look what you did, you made my child confused and powerless, sister. Do you even know what the price is of taking life before its time comes?"
Death didn't give a reaction and remained emotionless while staring into Waguri's eyes. She crosses her hands and speaks while looking at Waguri. "And do you even remember why the universe created us?"
Waguri didn't flinch but kept remaining silent and listening to Death.
"We maidens have only one purpose… and that's to keep balance in this universe… We aren't meant to save someone from its death… Nor do we mean to interfere with these mortals' works."
"You are life, the origin of everything… I can understand why you want him to live… But don't forget in the end… I'm the truth of life… I'm dead; we are made opposite to each other… Not out of jealousy or anything, but to balance the cycle of life and death."
Death looks at Henry and continues, "This mortal… You claim him as your son… I understand why you want to save him… but he broke the rule of eternity… He interfered with the cycle of death… so for that he must be punished."
Waguri also looks at Henry, but she seems calm and serious. She opened her hands and widened her palm, while saying, "And what if I say, universe, write this in his fate, and today for me saving him also written in his fate… Will you believe it?"
She looks at Death while continuing, "I know the future, but you don't. You only know the future of a soul's death. He isn't the chosen one among all mortals, nor is he powered with the universe itself."
"This is the cycle of fate for all mortals, not only humans but all living beings… and we maidens are guardians of this cycle."
While they both were talking, Henry stared at them, his face lifted toward the sky. After a short time, he feels immense power coming from his chest.
He started panicking, and then after a while, he started seeing a yellow color coming out of his chest. The color felt like sand, but it was flowing with powers. Henry seems confused as the yellow-colored portal forms in front of his chest.
The small yellow-colored portal seems to be connected to Henry's chest, and then suddenly a voice came out of the portal calling Henry to get into the portal; the voice whispered silently in the realm of the eternal.
"Henry, put your hand in this portal, and you will return to your body in the real world."
Henry was shocked as he heard a voice, because it was the voice of Éloïse. He relaxed a little and then whispered, "Ok, Madame, I'm coming right away…"
The happiness raced on his face as he relieved his heart after finding a way out. He thanks Éloïse in his heart many times while ready to touch the yellow portal.
Waguri smiled as she found out Éloïse Moreau was trying to help Henry. While death seemed serious, a little, she tried to go near Henry to stop this all, but Waguri stopped her while saying.
"Stop it, sister. Look, can't you see the beauty in this couple? Even if they don't claim it, their bond is too strong… And as far as I can see in the future, their time hasn't come yet."
Waguri looks at death in her eyes, while death stops to listen to her.
"They met each other days ago, but their bond was strong from birth. Remember sister… Human emotions are stronger than any power or concept in this world. Universe bless this race a little too much."
"Sometimes I think we are also to protect humanity… As they are the main reason for the creation of the universe."
They both keep staring at Henry while Waguri stops Death from interfering with Henry and Éloïse's plan. While Henry seems ready to touch the yellow portal. His heart was racing with happiness.
