Chapter 149: Let's go to my world

"Hmm." Kresi stares at the door. Is she a prisoner now? The dark god was acting strange at that time. She was also acting strange. Those feelings were Amara's feelings. 

It seems that the dark god had some sort of closure. 

Why did he put a seal on the door again? She mutters under her breath, frustrated. "I have to meet Renasir Ari."

There's no news of Aren Starfire either. Where is he? She crosses her arms and squints at the door. He should be fine. Cina won't kill him. 

It's already been some time. Are Gabriel and Raye here yet?

"This is tiresome." She grits her teeth and kicks the door. "Dark God, I want to meet Renasir Ari. Let me out at this instant."

The door is pulled open. Kresi blinks her eyes, taking a few steps back. The person in front of her is the Dark God himself. His dark eyes bore into her. She looks away, feeling awkward. 

"Erm… I have to see Renasir."

"She's gone," He replies to her with a low voice, "From this world."

"What?" She exclaims loudly. "How?" And why is he calm? 

"She left the world with the third moon." Adira sighs. He has looked for Ari in the entire world. There's no presence. Cina is also gone. Two gods are missing from this world. "Do you know anything?"

Why would Renasir Ari do that? Kresi shakes her head. "No."

"Don't leave the castle," He warns her with a low voice. He has to look for that woman who is reckless enough to run away from this world with a nameless creature and two child-gods. "You were my wife once. I am sure that you can take care of the dark realm while I am gone. If you need anything, ask Mogrok."

"But I don't think that --" The rest of her words are left hanging in the air. Adira is already gone. Kresi holds her head. What the hell is going on? Why does nobody bother to tell her anything? She must find out what is going on here. And leaving his realm to her… She's not his wife anymore. "Tch! Is that woman dumb? We don't have enough time."

Ril'Yah drops the bags on the floor and closes the door. They can't stay in this world for long. She walks to the inner room. Cina is asleep on the bed with the nameless creature beside him. 

It was better if she had left God Cina back there, but this god wouldn't let go of the Renasir. In the end, she had to bring him with them.

She glances at the Renasir who is sitting on an armchair, gazing at the clouds floating away in the cyan sky. The third moon sighs. After visiting the Mirins, she went to the Dark Castle to talk to Kresi about the book that she found at Mayaeira Mirin's room. At the dark castle, she heard about Adira's plans. She returned to the palace and revealed everything to Ari. Renasir's mood has been bad since that moment. 

"I brought what Kresi asked Gabriel and Raye to bring to the dark castle," Ril'Yah informs her. It was risky; however, Noras and Adira were distracted. It was like playing the hide and seek game. She couldn't bring Kresi because of the seal on the door. 

"How long do we have?" Ari asks her. 

"They will find us in three hours." Ril'Yah estimates, "The Dark God will continue to look for you even if others stop. You are carrying his children."

Ari nods. "We can't stay here then."

"Where should we go?" Ril'Yah glances at the spot beside God Cina anxiously. "He's going to be killed like this." He doesn't deserve it. What did he do wrong? 

This world isn't far from Iravan. The gods of this world will notice the nameless creature soon. They need to leave. But where? 

"Let's go to my world." Ari stands up and picks up the blue cloak from the chair's arm. "It's quite far from here. Since we don't have to worry about the time limit anymore, we should go there."

"Your world?" Ril'Yah frowns at her. "Are you talking about Earth?"

"En." Ari walks to the bed and takes Little Ai in her arms. "We have God Cina with us. I heard that he can create gates. Since it will take time to make a direct gate to Earth, we will make him summon a gate to the world that is closer to that world. It will give us some time before they catch up -- if they catch up." 

Earth is really far. This is an impossible trip. How many worlds do they have to cross before they reach that place? Ril'Yah shakes her head. "Renasir, we don't have that much time."

"If we wait here, Little Ai will be killed." Ari stares at her calmly. "He doesn't remember where I am from. Even if the other gods know, how would they come there? The gate to that world is not on Iravan. Only Cina can make the gates. If they take other routes, it will take forever for them to reach us. By that time, I am sure that I can draw a true name for Little Ai."

Ril'Yah didn't find it when she went to the Mirins. But she found the last piece of the knowledge that Renasir Mayaeira didn't know -- the knowledge of forbidden runes. It was hidden inside her mother's temple. Since her mother was gone, she looked into it. Who knew that she would also find the information on the true names in that book? So, she borrowed it for a while. She's been keeping a watch on Kresi. There was no doubt that the ingredients that Gabriel and Raye were bringing to the Dark castle were related to the ritual for the true name. 

"God Cina will be exhausted by the time we reach there." Ril'Yah fidgets with her fingers. "What if God Cina isn't able to open the gate to Iravan again? He's already weak right now."

"Then, we will stay there," Ari tells her solemnly. After hearing Adira's plans, her soul is tired. She doesn't want to be with a person who is like that. She has tried to understand him, but she can't figure it out. If he kills Little Ai, her feelings for him will end. So, she should leave before that could happen. "When he recovers, you can return to Iravan with him."

Go to a strange world? Ril'Yah looks down at the floor. Is this the decision that Seer Parisa was talking about? She must choose between her duties as the goddess of Iravan and the person in Renasir's arms. "It's not even a choice."

"Huh?" Ari knits her brows. "You don't want to come?"

"I have to come." Ril'Yah smiles at her. "I will wake God Cina and guide him to open the gate to the world that is closest to your world. When we reach there, he and I will work on building a gate to your world while you should focus on drawing the true name for the child in your arms."

Little Ai stirs in Renasir's arms, murmuring something inaudible in response. Ari pats the child's back. "Sounds good."
