Chapter 92 Who Said That It Had To Be A Living Soul!?
Chiron was blasted through the wooden walls of the shed.
"BIG BROTHER!!!" Nora screamed in worry.
Chiron rolled on the ground. some of the wounds on his body that he had managed to heal opened up a little again.
Slowly, he stood to his feet. Nora was strapped to the slab, but then again, her worry for him made her activate her spirit energy and she ran to him.
"Big Brother! are you okay!?" she asked with tears already visible in her eyes.
She could clearly see that some of the wounds on his body had opened up and he was bleeding.
However, the wounds on his body were of no concern to him. This was not the first time he was feeling pain and considering that this was the path he had chosen, it would definitely not be the last time it would happen.
Instead, Chiron's eyes were focused on Nora's chest. He really could not believe what he was seeing.
In the centre of her chest was a glowing seal.
The seal glowed in a copper light. Clearly, whosoever it was that gave her that seal was at least of the copper rank.
"Nora! what is that on your chest?" Chiron pointed at the seal that was slowly losing its glow.
Chiron's tone of voice had changed, and on top of that, he had not called her by the usual nickname. It was evident that he was very serious.
"This!," she pointed to her chest, "it happened the other day."
"What do you mean 'happened the other day'? Chiron was really trying his best to hold on to his anger.
Nora saw that Chiron was getting angry and so she proceeded to tell him all that happened.
Elder Fatso had suggested an end to the fiend between Aleen and Dona, and the solution to the problem was a marriage engagement between Cablen and Nora.
Afterwards, plans were later made to ensure that Nora's safety was guaranteed.
During the time Chiron was in a coma at Elder Ellen's place was when the seal was finally placed on her body.
On hearing this, Chiron immediately stood up.
He walked towards the nearest tree and gave it a resounding punch. The big tree actually shook a bit.
Nora watched as her brother's fist kissed the tree and slowly bleed. She did not know what was wrong, but she was definitely sure that she was the reason for it.
She wanted to talk but could not find the exact words.
"I'm sorry big brother! I know you don't like Cablen. And I don't like him too. I wanted to tell you but Father had instructed that I inform no one of it. I'm really sorry!" she folded her arms, one in another as she broke down on her knees crying.
She did not know why, but she could feel like she had disappointed her brother dearly.
Meanwhile, Chiron at the moment could not even hear a word she said. He just could not believe what was happening to him.
After all, he had worked so hard for this. He had really given it his all. Day and night he planned, he trained. All because he had Fate to contend with.
It was not easy for him. He really went through unimaginable pain, and yet, the heavens still found a way to be ahead of him.
Chiron really could not believe it.
He fell on his knees. In both his lives, he had never felt despair like he did at the moment.
It was a pain not just from his heart, but a cry from his very soul.
It felt as if a bag of sharp nails had been emptied into his chest. even though his chest did not bleed physically, it did emotionally.
The pain was so unbearable, and yet in this pain, Chiron noticed something.
"I feel pain, but..." he touched his eyes. To his surprise, they were as dry as ever. "I feel pain, but no TEARS!?"
This was the worse kind of pain he had ever felt and yet, he was not shedding tears.
And then he remembered it. He remembered his CONVICTION.
He remembered that night some years ago. He remembered the promise he made to himself. He remembered that he swore to go against heaven's plans and conquer it.
"Even If it's not now, or even a thousand years, I will not stop climbing. No matter how much you pull me down, I will not stop Climbing. If you push me down ten times, I'll climb eleven times. If you push me down a million times, I'll climb back a million and one times."
As he spoke, the pain in his chest slowly eased. The pain was still there, but for a reason he could not understand, it felt good.
Chiron's mind suddenly raced for a solution. If he could not turn Nora into Aura because of the seal on her chest which was protecting her, who then could he use?
Many thoughts and many other possibilities popped into his head. However, his ever-sharp mind dismissed them one after the other. Many of them were either too risky or would not just work.
As he thought, he suddenly heard Nora's voice.
"Big brother are you angry at me for the engagement to Cablen or because I and Father went to mother's grave without you."
Chiron's eyes immediately brightened up. He immediately stood up and ran to Nora. Grabbing her by the shoulder, he lifted her up, "Ra-ra you are a genius."
Nora was perplexed as to what was happening.
Chiron pulled her into a hug.
Nora wanted to ask what was going on. Both of them were still naked and Chiron was still bleeding but he was hugging her like a stuffed toy he had misplaced and just found.
But she did not understand Chiron was too excited he had just found a way.
He put her down, "Ra-ra go and put on your clothes and go back to the house." As he said this, he was already dressing up.
"Big brother! are you okay!?"
Chiron turned to her with a smile on his face, "Yes Ra-ra! I have never felt better."
Chiron went back into the shed. He brought out some of the herbs he had at hand and then he started to mix some of them up, "Nora, when you go back home, tell Emma to go get me a bottle of alcohol, and tell Lily that she should get ready. I want her to escort me."
Out of curiosity, Nora asked, "Big brother, where are you two going?"
"It's been a long time, and I have been an unfilial son. It's about time I go visit our mother's grave."
As he said this, he also added in his mind, "whoever said that the soul to be used for the ritual must be living?"
