Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 208 Departure



—–

The world felt like it was going fast forward… The world was at peace, but for how long? Thousands of years later, more wars emerged, more fighting, more death. A new Demon King appeared, and then another, and another, and… another, the seventh, and the last one.

As the images we were shown continued to glitch and disappear from our view, we saw the entire world disappear, crumbling apart into pieces by the immense power of this Seventh Demon King, named… the Demon King of The End.

“Ah…!”

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the same place I was before, the visions I saw… they were not just some game-like cinematic, they were like real memories!

And… the past was so painful to see after what we have done… After what I’ve done.

Whatever happened there, the entire world ended yet… why is it once again like if nothing happened? It even feels like it all went back in time?

Is this the rehashing that the Queen had talked about but that cannot really say much about?

Was the world destroyed and then reconstructed again? Would this explain why the Demon Kings are reviving alongside their underlings? Or did the world go back in time?

I… I really don’t get it.

But… what I saw was very sad. Saphee was a friend of Titania, someone so important to her… I see why she’s crying so much like hugging her.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Titania…” Saphee cried. “I couldn’t… fight back against him…”

“No… Don’t be sorry… I am sorry for leaving you behind… I should… had never neglected you, Saphee… Huginn… Terra… I love you three so much…!” Titania cried.

“Titania… Even after everything I’ve done…?” Saphee cried, her tears were so big that they were like waterfalls.

“I would never stop loving you… you’re my friend, my sister…” Titania cried. “I’m sorry that it had to end this way…”

Titania cried desperately, holding into Saphee’s head as almost all her body was already fading away reaching her neck, her head was slowly fading into particles of light, as her shiny emerald eyes looked back at Titania, and smiled sorrowfully.

“I am happy that at the end, we could talk again…”

“Saphee! Don’t leave me!”

Titania began to cry like a little girl. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘦𝑡

“I’m sorry… but… I had already died before… This is the right thing to do. I must… atone for my sins.”

“No… No!”

“It’s fine… I’ll be watching over you. Make sure… to protect your family, okay?”

“Saphee… I-I will…!”

“Good girl…”

Saphee slowly faded away, until nothing remained other than the Spiritual Projection of Titania sitting on the floor.

For a moment, I saw the little girl I saw in those visions in the floor, crying.

I couldn’t help but feel like she looked like my little daughter when her father passed away.

She felt so alone and empty…

I slowly walked to her side and hugged Titania.

“Don’t worry… Everything is going to be okay.”

“Ah… P-Planta…”

I gently caressed her head as I calmed her down.

“I am sure she’s in a better place now… I hope.”

“…”

Titania looked at the floor, gripping her fist, but then, she hugged me back, and began tearing down over my chest.

“Saphee… Huginn… Terra! I miss them so much… I wanted to hug them again… I wanted to sleep at their side… The fluffy wand warm feathers of Huginn that always comforted me every cold night, the licks that Saphee always gave me when she was happy, and the comfortable big cap of Terra’s head that was the softest bed… I miss them, I miss being with them!” Cried Terra, like a little girl.

I guess she had a lot of pent up emotions she had been saving all this time, she was feeling extremely pained as she cried.

“There, there… Let it all out dear…” I sighed, caressing her. “I know they must be happy you’re okay… I know…”

“Hahh… Why is the world… such a cruel place…” said Titania, the Queen of the Fairies, a woman who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

“I… It is not all that bad.” I sighed. “I know it must be painful, but you’ve got your family as well, remember? Your fairies, all of them… Nieve, Florie… everybody. They’re waiting for you to come back… You still have a responsibility that the Great Tree, your mother, has given to you, right?”

“R-Right…” Titania said while sniffling. “I… You’re right… Tonight there’s a festival, the fruits of the new fairies are soon to be ripe…”

“The fruits?” I asked.

“Although the Ancient Tree was gone, the Tree of Beginnings is her son. He is able to create these fruits, and has been creating fairies for many years so we could take care of the forest.” Said Titania.

“I see…” I smiled. “Then let’s go back, I believe we have earned ourselves a well-deserved break! Right?”

“Hm… Thank you Planta… Thank you for being so good hearted and gentle with someone so old like me…” Sighed Titania. “Even after everything I’ve gone through, deep down I am still a crybaby…”

“It’s fine. I am also a crybaby deep down! We can’t really escape from our own emotions, right? You wouldn’t believe how much I’ve cried myself… Crying is just a natural part of our lives, of who we are.” I said. “There is nothing wrong with letting out all the pent-up emotions sometimes… After crying and being comforted, I always feel better…”

“Planta…” Titania felt moved. “I guess I do feel slightly better now… Thank you.”

Titania smiled back a bit, as she stood up.

“For now, I’ll be going back to my body, I will wait for your return in my Kingdom. We must… celebrate this. Even if I am mournful, you’ve saved the forest from the machinations of the Demon King of Miasma.” Titania said.

“Sure thing! We’ll be going as fast as we can there! Right guys?” I asked.
