Chapter 95
1336words
I found myself on the secret attic. Just discovered this not so long ago. At first, I didn't know that such place existed in Vortaxia, but later on, it became my own little place.
This is where I go when I feel like being alone. Being in a place surrounded by Chosens who have gifts that can invade someone's privacy accidentally is truly annoying sometimes.
But here? I feel no anxiety. This place feels safe. It's a very nice place to calm your mind while watching the view above.
I didn't know that we can actually see the Dragonia Kingdom from here. It's so close.
"How will I deal with my stupid decisions now? I disappointed so many. Fiscio obviously resent me now for doubting her. And for Damon?" I heaved a sigh. "I don't know anymore."
My mind has been populated with so much thinking since God Diante's death. I just want to point my fingers on anyone. I'm having trust issues because of what happened.
Even the friendliest God was killed. How terrible this world could be?
Can we even fix it? Is it even worth saving?
I stayed there for a few hours. My tummy starts to growl from hunger. I haven't eaten anything since my visit with Fiscio. My heart clenched when her disappointed face flashed in my mind again.
I shrugged my thoughts away and just stood my ass to leave the old attic. Like I was expecting, the floor is empty. No one goes here. In fact, this place is used as a storage room. There are old books and belongings that I don't want to touch. They aren't mine.
"Where you've been?"
That's the first thing he asked after seeing me. I wasn't really expecting him to talk to be, but I guess he couldn't stop worrying. I smiled at the thought. He still cares for me in spite our little fight.
"I know you'll hate me for this, but I went to meet Fiscio," I replied. His brows automatically furrowed after hearing what I said. He looked at me confusedly.
"Why would you got there?" he asked again. I diverted my eyes from the sword he's sharpening.
Who's sword is that?
"I came there to ask her about what you told me."
Pain crossed his eyes. He looked away and continued doing his thing. I'm so stupid to hurt him. Argh! Seriously, Golden. What the hell is happening to you?
"I—I don't mean to. I just couldn't believe myself. I was so selfish of thinking that my instincts were always right. I'm sorry, baby."
No, I shouldn't have given myself an excuse. It will never change the fact that I doubted his words.
Fiscio is right.
Doubting him means not trusting Damon.
"It's okay. I want to get mad, but seeing you cry just hurts me a lot," he mumbled. My brows arched. I'm crying?
I lifted my hand to touch my face and my lips parted when I felt something wet crossing my cheeks. I'm indeed crying. I didn't know I was already crying.
My eyes gazed on him when he stands up and walked to me. He closed the gap between our faces and kissed me passionately. I closed my eyes and feel his kisses.
Fiscio is right again.
I'm so lucky to have him as my parsen. He always finds a way to understand me. Something I couldn't do to him.
I promise that I will never ever doubt his words again. If there's someone I can trust, it will always be him.
He pulled his face away from me and bring me to a tight embrace. Damon put his face in my neck. He's inhaling my scent and it's tickling me.
"You made me worry. I wanted to look for you, but Fiscio told me that I should let you do the job," he whispered softly. My brows arched from what he said. Now, I regret saying those mean things to her.
I don't mean it. I don't know what has gotten into me and those sinful words escaped from my mouth. I'm not even sure if they're mine.
Accusing someone was never my thing. But I guess I was just so upset when I heard about the possibility that Josh betrayed us and killed Diante who tried to stop him spy on us.
I feel bad. The only way I can fix the trouble I made is to accept the fact thay Josh is one of the main suspects in God Diante's murder.

A day has passed and God Nux and God Columbus starts the training of the Chosens by letting them get rid of the remaining insects outside the castle.
They were still a lot.
Some of the guards died of allergic reaction after getting bitten by them. Their necks expanded like a frog and they died that way.
It was heartbreaking, but that just give us more reason to do our best and find God Diante's killer.
Most of the Chosens who has fire manipulation gifts are called to burned the insects. Ivaws are called to clean the mess and Findan fairies are the one's responsible from disinfecting the area.
"We have to build a shield that can protect us from future attacks," God Nux said.
We're currently seated on God Hlaford's office and talking about the things we should do. Damon and I were invited to join for they believed that the two of us plays a huge part in Vortaxia.
"How will we do that? Only Wizardus have the ability to create an invisible shield," one of the Gods asked. I looked at Damon. He's been quiet since the incident earlier where he saw hundred dead bodies of the guards.
He never liked the idea of making the Chosens fight. It's something he never agreed on doing, but he didn't have a choice because everyone voted on doing so. They were all willing to risk their lives for the Kingdom.
"I know someone. He's a Wizardus, but he doesn't believe in war. He will be more than willing to help us get a sacred book," God Nux said. My eyes grew big from what she said. She has a Wizardus friend? I thought we're forbidden to make relationships with other races?
"Does he have a high rank? Not everyone can still a sacred item. Are you sure we can trust him?" God Columbus asked. He's right. If he doesn't want to be part of this war, that means he has low status in their Kingdom. Meaning to say, he has no ability to steal a sacred item.
"Stealing doesn't need a rank, Columbus. Wizardus are nothing, but humans if there's no magic. That's what keeps their Kingdom going. And he's more than willing to help us get that book and unite the Kingdoms," she replied. My lips parted.
Is that really possible? Can we really unite the Kingdoms?
My face turned blank when Josh suddenly flashes into my mind. That's exactly what he told me. That he wants to help us find Aluncina for he wants the war to end in Vortaxia.
I'm still hoping that it wasn't him. I need to hear his explanation, but how can I do that when I'm here with Damon?
Should I talk to him in the portal?
"What are you thinking so deeply?" Damon asked softly. I turned my head to look at him. He asked me that question when it is him who had just woken up in his deep thoughts.
"It's nothing. Do you agree with God Nux?" I asked. He heaved a deep sigh as he put his arms on my shoulder.
"Peace starts with trust. It's not something we can give easily especially to enemies, but it can open a new door. I think we should give it a try," he replied. I smiled when he kissed the top of my head.
Whatever his decision is, I'm with him.
I will always be with him.
