Novel Full Chapter 203
—–
What I had read was quite interesting and shocking in many ways. Besides the intense rambling of Eric’s ancestor, which made it very hard to understand certain parts, there were also things I understood. And after intense rereading, I had begun to understand even more. Apparently this man had… a child with a dragon descendant, the “lizard folk” he spoke about were in fact the children of an ancient dragon god named Fafnir. The child was called Fafnir and then… he was left there with his mother and the Elves. For some reason it felt as if somehow it was all predestined. They needed him for this child to be born, and when he did what he had to do, he was given some knowledge and then told to go back to where he came from. I can tell it was a rather harsh way to send him away, and he seemed heartbroken as well. But I can tell he was fine because he found somebody else and had a family again here, which Eric descends from.
However, this book… Doesn’t it has a lot of information and exposition I never thought I could find inside a book held by serfs? The information I got from here was just… beyond my wildest expectations in so many ways… Not only I learned about the Elves culture, but also about how they were able to manipulate spirits and interchange them around something that seems completely impossible to me and anybody else in here. This simply opens up an incredible amount of new possibilities, but also worries me about how powerful could these beings be. Also, if they were able to do this, then about what us and our spirits? What makes us so different from them?
Another thing, in the last ramblings of this man, he said that the tree of Yggdrasil was designed by the “Ancient Creators”… for some reason this feels strange. It doesn’t align with my assumption of the Holy Spirits. Also, it appears that the Ancient Creators turned against the Tree when they found that it was trying to overtake the world. Apparently and for some strange reason, the tree found them unworthy, and fought against them. The tree won the war, but some of them survived and are still present even now. The tree then cleansed the world, which was implied to have been contaminated and then used its powers to fill it with magic, spiritual energies, and created humans’ elves, and everybody else… How odd. I don’t know if this man was rambling or hallucinating… Or perhaps everything he said is genuine.
Now I really want to go to that tree and see with my two eyes what’s going on in that place. But… to get there, I am going to at least take a few more years, probably ten years… Well, whatever’s the case. My birthday was sometime ago and I am now eight… I guess I need to wait some more years. Although I am already earning a lot of money, if I can save enough, then we can move to the capital too. Agh, there is also the problem with the invading demons. There are just too many things to take into consideration to even think about the future ahead. I suppose there’s no option than to just leave these thoughts for later.
Over the night, we talked about what we rad with Eric, he began to understand a bit more, but we were also left in the blue about many things. Erika and Chris joined the conversation but they were unable to speculate as well as the two of us, but they sometimes gave some interesting perspectives. Nonetheless, we decided to quickly sleep as it was getting late. There were two small beds over the floor made out of blankets and with some cushions. Erika choose to sleep with me and Chris slept by himself. Although it seemed as if he was a bit jealous of that… Did he wanted to sleep at my side or with Erika? Well, whatever the case, we dozed off rather quickly.
…
When I woke up I found Erika sticking to me tightly. Her body was very strong, so she was crushing my ribs with her arms, and her legs were tangled around mine, tightly, which made it even painful. I was resisting it for a while to not disturb her, but I had to wake her up now, I couldn’t take it anymore.
“Hmm~ Blake’s… Scent… So nice…”
However, before I could wake her up she was sticking her nose into the back of my neck, sniffing my skin and my hair as if it were a flower or something. I felt strangely weirded out, and Eleanora was furiously spitting fire out of her mouth figuratively within my Spirit Orb Realm out of anger.
“S-She’s stepping over her boundaries!!!” She roared back at me. “S-Stop her!”
Erika continued to rub her face into the back of my neck and then continue sleeping with her face over all of my hair, seemingly in delight of the smell. I don’t know what sort of scent my hair has other than herb oil extract which I use to make my shampoo. Ah, well, maybe that I the scent she likes?
“Erika… Let me go.” I sighed, slowly crawling my way out of her strong arms and legs.
“Nyoooo…” She cried half asleep, trying to drag me back to the bed. “I wan sleep more with Blake…”
“Erika that’s enough… You’re hurting my body, your body is quite hard, you know?” I sighed.
“O-Ohh… Yawn… Sowy…” Erika yawned as she seemed to be very sleepy. I don’t known how she can get so sleepy if her body is not even human… Well, her soul might be tired.
“Enough, it is time to wake up.” I said, caressing her hair. She didn’t listen though and continued sticking to me.
After a struggle that lasted half an hour, I was freed from Erika’s grasp. Everyone in the room ended waking up from the commotion, and Eric was reprimanding Erika for being so noisy and clingy with me…
