Destroying My Own Novel

Mykel decided to leave the two of them and went back to Earth because he had been gone for a very long time. He wanted to see what everyone was doing, and he wanted to know the progress of everything.

“This is your first time coming to this world, so don’t make a ruckus like your brother,” Mykel said to Spenta who was clinging onto his right shoulder and looking at the city from Mykel’s office.

“(Where’s my brother, father?)” Spenta asked.

Mykel only knew that Spenta could talk when Loki told him, but Spenta could only speak to him telepathically. Loki believed that Spenta was still too young to be able to speak, and Mykel found out that Spenta was a shy type so he didn’t like being in the center of attention.

“Since you’re a twin, don’t you have a special connection with Angra?” Mykel asked since he knew they both had been contacting each other telepathically. Unfortunately, they both always argued and ended up on a bad terms with each other. “Do you miss your brother?” Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.

“(I miss putting my feet on his face)” Spenta answered as he jumped to Mykel’s hand and went to his desk.

“It’s not hatred, huh?” Mykel said to himself, but Spenta could hear him. “Come, I want to meet with Lyneth, and there’s something I would like for you to confirm,” Mykel reached his hand to Spenta.

Spenta hopped onto Mykel’s shoulder, and they both went to Lyneth’s office.

“(Father, are we going to enter that place?)” Spenta asked and he sounded scared.

“(Yes, is there a problem?)” Mykel looked at Spenta who hid on Mykel’s nape.

“(It’s scary, she hates everyone and her aura threaten everyone that she would devour everything when she’s set free…)” Spenta answered.

Mykel furrowed his eyebrows and was shocked that Spenta could communicate not only with words but by the aura alone. He never, not even once could feel any threatening aura from Elena, and even Gaia or the other Goddesses who were there with Lyneth didn’t say anything about it.

“(Just stand still)” Mykel said as he opened the door.

Mykel entered the room, and for some reason, Lyneth looked a lot healthier than before. He thought that she would be sick closer to her delivery of Elena.

Spenta couldn’t handle the ominous aura and decided to fly away and hid in the corner behind a desk. Lyneth noticed who it was since Skadi told her about Spenta, and she was curious why he acted like that.

“Lyn, did you feel anything when we came in?” Mykel asked.

“I feel a gentle kick just now, I bet she’s happy to see you, or maybe it’s just me,” Lyneth smiled as she gently stroked her belly.

“How are you feeling?” Mykel stroked Lyneth’s cheek as he bent his knee so he could see Lyneth’s face from below.

“I’m good than ever, I don’t know why but I feel like I never feel tired, my mind is always at ease, and most of all, I feel like I have someone that’s protecting me,” Lyneth answered as she held Mykel’s hand and kissed it many times.

Mykel looked at her belly and slowly reached out to it. He gently stroked her belly and tried to make contact with Elena by giving her his life energy.

“(Don’t be scared, father)” A girl’s voice could be heard inside Mykel’s head. “(Everything is going to be fine. I can feel everything you feel no matter where you are, father)” the girl continued.

Mykel was shocked and dumbfounded by the fact that Elena could speak to him. He realized that it might be because she was the same age as Spenta and Angra. He thought that maybe she could speak telepathically because it was about time she could do something like that.

“(Elena?)” Mykel asked as he kept rubbing Lyneth’s belly.

“(Yes, it’s me, father)” Elena answered.

“Looks like she’s speaking to you right now as well,” Lyneth said as she looked at Mykel’s surprised expression.

“You spoke to her?” Mykel asked.

“Yes, it happened a week ago after I got back from work. I was sleeping on my own and thought about you, but then I heard a child’s voice telling me to not be sad. After that, I realized whose voice was that, and now I have been talking with Elena ever since,” Lyneth answered and she looked so happy. “Before you came, she even told me that you would visit me today,” Lyneth said as she looked at Mykel.

Mykel chuckled in disbelief as he looked at Lyneth.

“(Mother is lonely, father)” Elena said.

“(I know, that’s why I’m back now. I won’t leave until she gives birth to you)” Mykel replied. “(Can I ask why are you hostile toward your brothers?)” Mykel asked.

“(I’m ready to leave, but mother wants to wait for another month because she wants me to be a healthy child)” Elena replied. “(And for father’s question, I hate them because they stole your eyes. I will kill them once I’m out)” Elena answered.

“(If you hate them, it would be a waste to kill them if they’re useful. Since you know a lot about me, you should know what to do other than kill them)” Mykel said with a smirk.

“(Subdue them and manipulated them)” Elena answered.

Mykel couldn’t help but laugh and it startled both Lyneth and Spenta. Lyneth never saw him laugh like that, and she wondered what they were talking about, but she was so happy that Mykel seemed happy with his own daughter.

“I’m sorry, but I think our child is going to take after me,” Mykel smiled and giggled a bit as he looked at her belly.

“I can tell by the way she speaks and thinks, but I wish you can treat her like a child,” Lyneth said and smiled because she saw Mykel smile.

“Of course. I don’t want to be a bad father figure for her,” Mykel smiled and he spoke with his heart that even Lyneth could tell he was serious about it.

“(Elena, I can’t wait to see you and be with you. So, can you protect Lyneth while I’m away?)” Mykel asked.

“(Mother is precious to father. I’ll protect her)” Elena answered. “(I’ll stop threatening him as well because father told me so)” Elena continued.

Mykel hummed as he stood up, and then he looked at Spenta who was no longer scared. Spenta then flew toward Mykel. He carefully and scaredly looked at Lyneth and Elena, but he no longer felt any ominous aura.

“I’ll go and check Rozan and the others, they must have been so bored by doing nothing,” Mykel said as he showed Spenta to Lyneth.

“Ah, now that you mentioned it, the arena is finished. I was thinking to open it without you, but since you’re here, we should talk about this later, once I’m done with work,” Lyneth said.

“Let’s have dinner somewhere. It’s been a while since we go outside together, right?” Mykel asked.

Lyneth nodded and she looked so happy.

Mykel left and went to the suite to meet with everyone since they had been enjoying their free time to its fullest. When she came to the suite, he was surprised to see Zherlthsh and Vixelleth in the suite. They both were talking with Nagy and they seemed to have a serious conversation.

“Boss!” Gunnar shouted and startled everyone who was taking a nap.

Zherlthsh and Vixelleth looked over their shoulders to look at Mykel. They both then approached him and it seemed like they had a lot of things to say.

“They already took the bait, and we have exposed as little as possible about the Demonic Cult to Asmond. What should we do next?” Vixelleth whispered.

“Let’s talk about this later, I have other things to do here. But, why are you here in the first place, especially talking with Nagy,” Mykel asked back.

“Nagy has the ability to create powerful poison, and we remembered Mazikeen managed to outmatch Luciel’s strength with only that. We are thinking of asking her for help because I heard from Agnez that you’re going to use us to fight that being. We are just preparing on our side, that’s all,” Vixelleth answered. “Also, is Mazikeen really gone?” Vixelleth asked.

“Yes, I tried to bring her back to life, but it was impossible. She’s gone forever,” Mykel answered.

“I see, then there’s nothing to be worried about since the experiment is a success. It’s time for us to leave,” Vixelleth replied and left the suite with Zherlthsh.

Gunnar and the others gathered in the living room, and they were curious about Spenta. They asked about Jeanne and Agnez’s whereabouts, and Mykel told them that those two had important missions to do. Mykel didn’t tell them about the details, and the only one who knew about it was Lillith, and she kept her mouth shut.

“If you’re here, that means you have something for us, right?” Lillith asked.

“I know you all are bored, so, how about you guys participate in the arena at the opening ceremony? You’re not only fighting each other, but you will be fighting all the strongest Awakeners from all Districts. How’s that?” Mykel asked.

“Should we hold back?” Sven asked.

“It’s up to you, but don’t let yourself lose to those weaklings. I’ll invite Asmond and his team to participate, so that should be interesting, right?” Mykel answered.

“It’s a good chance to put them back in their place. This is indeed interesting,” Sven clenched his fists in excitement.
