A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 14: Promise

"Some promises are meant to be broken"

******************************************

"I am poor now" Severus sighed.

[Don't forget that you need to provide for those lads too] Noworry sighed too.

"At this rate, I am afraid I need to speed up my plan before I go down in dumps"

[Hmmmmm]

"Noworry. Can I ask you something?"

[Hmm]

"How much do you know about Hades?"

Noworry gave him a side-eye and curiously looked at him.[ What do you mean how much do I know him? This question, don't you feel scared while asking this question?]

"Huh. Why should I be afraid?"

[Who is Hades? Is he an ordinary on-the-way guy? Or maybe a long-lost friend of yours? Or, No, maybe, he is indebted to you. Is he?]

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could we have any relation? I was an atheist in my previous life and never once entered the temple. Are you okay or your bird brain got rusted again?"

[If he isn't an ordinary being then why aren't you scared of him? You take his name so randomly without honorifics or respect. Don't you fear, the lord of the underworld may get upset and bring death upon you?]

Severus"..."

Severus looked at Noworry like he was looking at an idiot.

[What? Why are you looking at me?]

"Aren't you the one who told me a while ago that gods don't harm without a reason?"

[Yeah, I said so. So what]

"I am not a sinner nor ever committed a sin that can bring death upon me. If Hades really wanted me dead, he won't have allowed my reincarnation, after all, he is the god of death"

Noworry [....]

Noworry was forced to keep his mouth shut because he didn't have any counters for Severus. The thing which Severus mentioned, were the exact thoughts which noworry had, but the difference was that Severus believed in them whereas Noworry doubted.

[Whatever. Severus just remember one thing. Come what may, you won't seek Ophelius' knowledge]

Severus nodded his head, although his heart said otherwise.

[Promise me, you won't find out more about nine divine books]

Severus"..."

[What are you waiting for? Promise me already]

Severus sighed. " Okay, I promise that I won't go after nine divine books or Ophelius"

[Good boy] Noworry praised.

Severus walked aimlessly, deep in his thoughts when a particular person got his attention. He saw a small child around six years. The child was sobbing heavily in his mother's embrace. He had some bruises and cuts on his bodies, which looked normal but to his wonder, the child cried greatly.

[What's the matter?] Noworry saw that Severus was looking towards a child without blinking completely like in a trance. So he asked a question to break the silence.

Absentmindedly Severus spoke up, "Can you see that child"

[Yes, I can see the child. What's so great about a sobbing child?] Noworry asked in bewilderment.

Did his brain get corroded or what? Birdie wondered.
