Chapter 42

Avila POV

I stopped walking for a moment and stepped back a little to take a look at father's room, my forehead wrinkled when I saw a man, he was old and he was talking to Zagreus. What is this person talking to our brother?

I just shook my head when I realized that this person made an agreement with my brother, people after all.

A few days passed, it's my one hundredth birthday today and I'm happy because I can go to the world of human. Every birthday I go to the world of human to mingle with them.

I went to father's room to say goodbye when I realized he wasn't there.

"Where is father?" I asked Alada who was sitting next to mother who was sleeping.

"With Zagreus." It answered then looked at me. "By the way, take that girl to the empty room," she said and then pointed to the side of father's room. I frowned when I saw an unconscious woman lying there.

I approached it and smelled it.

"Why is she here?" I asked, I looked again at Alada who was busy fixing her nails.

"Compensation in agreement." She answered while not looking at me, I looked back at the woman and then observed her face.

Poor creature.

Using my craft, I immediately made her float and came out of father's room with the woman's body. Based on what I smell, this woman's soul is also unconscious, and her soul is still inside her body.

I slowly put her down on the cold bed that no one was using, I fixed a few strands of her hair that blocked her face.

If I'm not mistaken, this girl is about seventeen years old.

"What are they planning to do to you?" I wondered.

A few days passed but the female human still did not wake up. I decided to go to the room where I put her, and as I always saw, her body was just lying there.

But given this opportunity, I could not smell her soul so I approached the woman and held her. Her body was cold and her heart stopped beating.

"Are you dead?" I asked and then listened to her chest. "But where is your soul?" I asked and then looked at her.

Poor woman, she would have witnessed a lot more in her life if only her father had not sold her.

A few weeks passed, I continued to visit the woman. I was on my way to that person's room when I passed the hall.

"Avila, look for Alada. I want to order something from her." Father said that instead of going to that girl's room, I looked for Alada all over our place, but I couldn't find her. I scratched my head and went to the human world, I even released a strange insect only to see Alada and as I suspected, she was here in the human world talking to a man I thought was only eighteen years old.

"Please.. break their... Agreement." The man said so I looked at Alada who was just smiling.

"Father is looking for you." I whispered in Alada's ear and then looked again at the man who was bowing in front of her, based on what I could see now, it looked like the man was in a ritual. It seems that he actually called Alada.

I didn't stay long in the human world either, I returned to our world to tell my father what I saw, he just laughed and shook his head.

"People are easy to play with." That said, I went to the human woman's room with a black dress, I will change her clothes again. Every time I go here, I always change her clothes.

"There, you're like one of us." I said while smiling.

"Avila. Mother is calling us." I looked at the one who spoke behind me, Makaria.

"Why?" I asked, she just stared at me and then shrugged, I followed her until we reached their room.

My eyes widened when I saw a woman with short hair, a sharp tail and a scary aura.

Who is she?

"Children, she is Ksara." Mother introduced to the woman next to her with a smile, her face had no emotion as she looked at us. She looks like a newborn baby because of the smoothness of her skin.

"Ksara, they are your siblings." Mother said so gently that I smiled and immediately approached Ksara.

"Hello, I'm Avila." I said but she just stared at me, I laughed and noticed that she didn't have horns like the rest of us.

I immediately waved my hand causing two horns to grow on her head.

"There, you really look like one of us." I said and then looked at mother who was looking at us.

"Where did you get her?" I asked, mother just shrugged and then smiled

"Your brother Zagreus took her." Mother said so I looked at Zagreus with a tormented soul. I just shrugged my shoulders and then turned my gaze to Ksara again.

"Mother, can I introduce Ksara to the human woman when she wakes up?" I asked, mother looked at me and laughed.

"Who said that body will wake up?" mother asked and shook her head. "That body has no soul, by the way. Makaria will hide it, it's good that you reminded me." Mother said that's why I bowed. I waited for a long time for that girl to wake up, but it's not going to happen.

Ksara POV

Suddenly everything stopped, Avila moved slowly, as I weakened from what I had witnessed in her memory. I felt Avila hold my hand so I looked at her, her face was serious even though she was looking in the same direction.

"Ksara." She called me, I immediately wiped my tears with one hand. "I don't know if it's the right thing to say but.." She stopped and swallowed. "...But I feel like you're the female person I always visit in that room." She said, suddenly my tears began to fall. "Suddenly, that woman's soul disappeared but I am sure that you are that soul and if I am not mistaken, you will use that woman's body right now." It said.

"It's possible that you are Karma... it's possible that father and mother did something to your soul to make you forget everything that happened in your life when you were a human, it's possible that they just made you like us." She said that's why I held her so tightly.

"Avila..." I called softly, she smiled at me.

"That's what I always feel when I'm with you Ksara, I feel like you're a person who changes the world you live in." She said and kissed my hand she was holding.

"The information you gave me was very... very helpful." I said. She smiled at me. She suddenly stood up and groped my head, I closed my eyes when she touched the small horn on my head.

"Looks like it's time to remove this horn." She said that's why I stared at her while she was holding my horn, little by little I felt that the shape of my head was changing so I slowly felt my head and my heart almost jumped with joy when I felt that my horn was gone .

"I want to.... see you hornless." She said but she bit her lip, I got what she wanted to say, she wants to see me but she has no vision right now.

"Why did you suddenly ask about who you are Ksara?" She asked, I helped her to sit in her seat and then returned to my seat.

Pavel suddenly entered my mind, I smiled and looked at Avila.

"Because of someone." I answered that she was shocked.

"One person?" She asked, I nodded.

"Yes, it looks like I found the old parts of my old life." I said. " The saintly woman said that those three are reincarnated." I said and bit my lip.

"I'm happy with that." She said with a smile. I smiled and suddenly looked at her.

"By the way, I found out that there is a curse on the town where Karma used to live, I mean, me." I said that made her stop.

"I found out that Alada was the one who made that curse, Avila, I want the person who gives life to my world to be king. But if we can't kill the person who is the key to him becoming king, we will also ignore the hardships he suffered for find the person who will be the key to make him king." I said.

"Regarding that matter, only the one who took the oath can undo the oath she made." Avila said so I was stunned.

"How can I do that if Alada herself doesn't want to remove it?" I will ask.

"I'm sorry my little sister, but I don't know anything about curse matters." She said.

"Is that so?" I asked weakly.

"But, I know someone who might be able to help you." She said that made me feel good again.

"Arae. I'm sure she can help you, Arae's place is at the bottom of the world, you'll know you're in her place when you see a dragon with five heads." Avila said, making me smile.

"Thank you." I said, she grabbed my hand again.

"But, be careful, because it's hard to tame a Cursed God." She said so I nodded and held her hand.

"What you said was very helpful Avila, thank you very much." I said and hugged her, she hugged me too.

"Promise, I'll come back here to introduce you to the person I'm talking about." I whispered and pulled away from her with a smile, she smiled then nodded.

"I will wait for you." She said that's why I stood up and said goodbye to leave, I was about to go out the door when I stopped and turned back to Avila.

"Avila." I called, she waited for what I would say next.

"I'm still a person, right?" I asked, the smile on her lips slowly disappeared and she slowly shook her head.

"A man, cannot live for two hundred years Ksara."
