Chapter 32 - Athena The Keeper Of The Tomb
Athena and Shivam arrived at the beautiful mysterious place which makes Shivam wonder if he in some kind of heaven, the place was looking very beautiful, and wherever his gaze fell he found only beauty and vast greenery. but alas no life form could be seen on this place.
"This place is very beautiful I have never seen anything like this in my whole life" he looked towards the beautiful Athena and said to her. she gave a beautiful smile to him. and the next moment she took him on the higher ground of that place, the whole region appeared in front of Shivam's eyes. and a beautiful breeze welcomed him on the top of that place.
"By the way who are you, and what I am doing here, I was in the middle of the trial of the goddess, and next second I found myself an unknown place," Shivam said to Athena who was standing in front of him, she let him go when they arrived on the higher ground she tried to give him some space. and they were sitting on the ground while Athena was continuously looking towards him.
"well as you know my name is Athena and I am the Guardian of this place, and you are here because of the Trial, your mana is unique and I can sense some unknown kind of vibes from you, you are the first beast who is able to come here" she replied to Shivam.
"then what about the trial, is that over, I failed or pass," he asked her with a worried face, he just wanted to get over with the trial and wanted to gain the human form that he desires the most, but he was in unknow situation right now.
seeing that Shivam was worried about something, she shook her head "don't worry you are qualified for the final ritual, I am the one who is going to guide you, but first you need to know few things before I take you to the sacred place" she looked towards the black dragon before saying that and somewhat she was looking sad. seeing her like that Shivam calm his self.
"Sorry for my rudeness I was worried about my circumstances that's why I have become eager" Shivam looked towards her with his cute little eyes. seeing this she smiled and take a long sigh.
"you know it's been millions of years when I last saw somebody, and after that, no one comes here to this place, it's like an eternity for me being alone," she said with a sad expression on her face. hearing those words Shivam felt bad for her.
"why don't you leave this place, and try to get out of here" Shivam looked at her while seeing those words. she looked towards him with a calm face. "no i can't leave this place without my master will its been a million of years when I last saw her" Athena looked towards the Shivam and said to him.
"what do you mean she left you in this place alone, how could someone so cruel" Shivam clenched his fist hearing those words. seeing this little dragon she laugh and shook her head in disbelief.
"no it's not like that, she was very nice to me and treated me very well, I don't know how was I came to existence, but I remember when I was the little spirit she used to take me to various places, she nurtured me but one day she suddenly vanished without saying anything, I waited for her, but she didn't show up, and I struck this place waiting for her," she said while looking her Shivam with deep blue eyes. hearing those words Shivam become very confused and remember lady Sylvia's words and the story which she told him about lady ifrit's sudden disappearance.
"un...by any chance your master's name is lady ifrit" Shivam looked towards Athena and said those words. hearing the name of her master from Shivam's mouth, her heartbeat skipped for the moment and a shocked could be seen on her face, she gulped the mouthful saliva and grab the little dragon in her arms with excitement and started shaking him and bombarded him with many questions, "hey stop shaking me put me down lady, I am feeling dizzy"Shivam shouted at the top of his lungs. seeing the little dragon she calms herself.
"I am sorry, how do you know my master, where is she right now"Athena looked towards the Shivam with the hope to get some answers from him, Shivam gulped saliva with nervousness looking at the bright face of this lady in front of her, how could he answer her, but he gathers some confidence and wanted to tell a truth to this lady who was waited for an eternity to see her master.
"I am so sorry but no one knows her whereabouts, she suddenly disappeared a long ago about the millions of years, there are many peoples are waiting for her, mostly the race of spirits who thought highly about her and they treat her as a goddess, I am also approached by one of the high spirits to take a part in the trial, they say she left behind some kind of wisdom behind her"Shivam responded to Athena.
"I see so she really disappeared " she mumbled those words and disappointment appeared on her face. she looked towards the Shivam, and patted the little dragon head"thank you for letting me know" she trembled while saying those words.
"um...I am sorry, I know how are you feeling right now, why don't you come with me and you can search about your master's whereabouts, there are various people are out there who can help you, and you are one of them because you are also guardian spirits I can sense same aura similar to those guys"Shivam looked towards her with deep gaze and said to her.
