"Ehem." Mya coughed when Kayden just stared at him with expressionless face.
"It''s alright. I just need to get some medicine." She slowly turned towards the ce where that stitch guy died. But Mya remembered how all of his items and clothes were burned.
Mya stood in front of the ashes staring at it nkly. ''I''m so stupid.'' She couldn''t help but curse herself and her luck. And the throbbing on her ankle was intensifying as well.
"He said it would be three hours, no it is less now..." She muttered to herself. "Why am I bing so dumb already?"
Kayden just looked at Mya''s back with a frown.
Lorn firmed himself and walk towards Kayden. "She was bitten by a snake, Sir." He whispered to Kayden.
"I see..." He brought out a potion that had green liquid from his pocket. And walked towards Mya.
"Why didn''t you tell me right away?" He said as he stopped just a few steps behind her.
Mya faced him.
"Drink this." he said in a demanding tone that left with no room for any refusal. He outstretched his right hand with the potion.
Mya stared at Kayden''s hand nkly. ''He is helping me again?''
Kayden frowned when Mya was just staring at his hand in daze. He grabbed her right hand, which he was surprised. It was cold.
But he simply put the small bottle of potion on her hands and let go afterwards. "Drink it now," he repeated.
Mya woke up from her stupor when Kayden''s warm hand touched her.
"Ah yes!" She said as she opened the lid of the bottle and drank the potion right away. After a few moments the throbbing sensation in her ankle was diminishing and her frequent dizziness was no longer there. ''I''m alright now! Ah before I can forgot...''
She extended the bottle to Kayden. "Thank you!" She said as she shed a genuine smile towards Kayden.
Kayden just stared back at her, then turned around and started to walk away without saying anything.
''And now he is acting cold once again.'' Mya simply heaved a deep sigh. ''But thanks to him, I''m alright now.'' She watched Kayden retreating back.
However Kayden stopped and turned back towards Mya. Mya blinked, waiting if he was going to say anything.
"Follow me." Kayden simply stated as he proceeded to walk again.
Mya stood there processing what Kayden just said. ''Ah what? Why do I always became dumb with this guy. I always need to figure out his intentions. But since he was supposed to be the future demon lord this really... Ahhh!''
Mya almost yelped when she suddenly flew to the air. Dark mes were surrounding her, but strangely enough it was not hot or causing her any burns.
"Wow!" L eximed in excitement.
"Ah!"
The two children, Lorn and L also had the same situation. As Kayden walked ahead, they floated behind them.
''Is this his magic?'' Mya remembered the dark mes that burned those cloaked people before. ''Ah right. It is his magic.''
"Sir Kayden, I finally get it haha." Mya said. "I''ll follow you, just bring me down now and the kids."
But Mya only received silence as a response. ''Ah I guess, it''s a no.'' She just shut her mouth and let herself float in the air.
''Oh well, I think it''s better this way already.'' Mya thought with positivity. ''Since I''m really tired as well. I could rest as well without walking.'' Their floating in the air made her somewhat felt rx like she was swinging in somefy cradle.
''He is still 15 or 16 but he has already a nice body built. Well, Rein and Elred was also the same but they are older than him.'' Her eyes were getting heavier as she stared at Kayden''s lean and chiseled back. ''Oh well, somewhat I feel sleepy now. A little nap on the way would not be bad as well.'' Mya finally let herself sumb in slumber.
Soon Kayden heard soft snores behind him. Not only Mya was asleep but also the little girl. And the young boy just remained quiet.
Kayden''s mind shed back when he came back from the ce they settled. Wherever he looked around, Mya was not there. If not for this kids who desperately seek his help and guide him to where Mya was, then this girl would be dead by now.
He observed Mya for some quite time now. She was magicless and despite that she was still careless. Though, she had quite a prowess in fighting. She must have done that in exchange for herck of magic.
Kayden frowned. ''Why am I even observing her? And I even wasted two of my potions already because of her. If I left her dead, then that goddess would have no other reason for me to stay with them and I could go on my own again. Tsk.''
"Is that what you think?" The yful voice of Virena resounded on Kayden''s mind. "How about this, if she died you''ll forever be a cat. So protect her too! Until I can see them again hahaha!"
"You! Don''t read my mind." Kayden clenched his fist.
But there was no voice that answered Kayden. "Tsk." He clicked his tongue as he proceeded to walk. ''Just have fun until itsts. If I found you, you will not be able to do that again.''

Meanwhile...
In the heavenly realm, Virena swiped out the orb that showed Kayden.
"Virena,"
"Lumera!" She turned around with cheerfulness to the goddess of light, Lumera. She had long golden hair that shone like the sun and had golden eyes as well. She was wearing a light blue off sleeves flowy gown and she had four white wings at her back.
"What honor do I owe for you to personally visit me?" Virena said.
"What have you done to my timeline?" Lumera inquired with a smile not reaching her eyes.
"I just make things interesting for you," Virena said with a sly smile. "And soon it would be for everyone as well."
Lumera looked at her, not smiling anymore. "If you keep doing this, you would disrupt the bnce of the world."
"The bnce of the world?" Virena, maintaining her mischievous smile, continued. "Dear Lumera, since we arrived here, the bnce of this world has long gone. That''s why we have that Fate of the Stars..."
"Virena!" Lumera snapped. Her soft voice boomed all over the ce.
Virena was no longer smiling as well. "Too bad even if you''re our queen right now, you can''t still control me." She turned her back to Lumera.
"I will do what I need to do, Lumera.." Virena said as she disappeared, leaving Lumera with an unreadable expression on her face.
