Chapter 232 - Cap 231: Nix's Story

In the late afternoon of the day, we arrive at the cabin everyone is outside the cabin talking or training, it seems that Jana is reading several magic books that we have since she doesn't have access to this kind of knowledge in her village. 

Right now there's only me, Layla, and Nix inside the room, Nix is ​​inside my shadow, according to her, inside my shadow, it's very comfortable and she can recover much faster, she also said she can absorb my spiritual power directly while inside my shadow, meanwhile, Layla is reading a book about Necromancers in bed next to me, she said she has to learn about her enemies. 

"Nix."  (I) 

"Did you call, master?"  (Nix) 

When I call Nix her voice comes from the direction of my shadow, somehow I can feel her inside my shadow. 

"I wanted to know how you were sealed inside that crystal, do you remember?"  (I) 

"Yes, I remember everything until the moment I was sealed, after that I don't know what happened."  (Nix) 

"If you feel comfortable telling me more about it, I'd love to hear more from you."  (I) 

"I don't care if the master knows, let me out first."  (Nix) 

I saw my shadow extend to the side of the bed and get bigger then Nix in her human form steps out of my shadow like an elevator going up, after that my shadow goes back to normal and Nix uses her own shadow to make a chair where you sit. 

"To tell you why I was sealed, I first need the master to know about my family."  (Nix) 

"I am the fruit of a love between a Black Dragon and a very powerful Spirit."  (Nix) 

"My father was a mighty true Dragon, but being a Black Dragon who is known to be the most brutal and powerful type of Dragon in battle he was feared by many, his affinity was with the element of Darkness."  (Nix) 

"My mother was a Moon Spirit, she was a powerful Spirit with Affinities with the unique element of Moon, water, and shadow."  (Nix) 

"When I was born I was only half Spirit, I still had a Dragon body at the time, my body was different from my current appearance and I hadn't learned to shapeshift."  (Nix) 

"At that time there was a great enemy who hated my father as much as my mother, they called my father the Dragon of Destruction and my mother the Moon Demon."  (Nix) 

When Nix's story got to this point I could see the anger on her face, it seems she harbors resentment towards this enemy. 

"Who was this enemy?"  (I) 

"A hero of the Church of Light, he was a foolish man who was manipulated without ever realizing the truth, a fool who fought by listening to everything the Church of Light said to him."  (Nix) 

"The Church of Light openly declares that it hates everything that is evil or that is against the way of the Light."  (Nix) 

"They force their believers who were born with Affinities with shadows, curses, darkness or any other Affinities they don't like to change their Affinities."  (Nix) 

"I've heard about this before."  (I) 

"But did you know that it can destroy your future path?"  (Nix) 

"No, what do you mean by that?"  (I) 

"Changing the Affinity someone was born with isn't easy, plus the person will never be as good with their new Affinity as they were with their original Affinity, this is basically cutting their potential in half or even completely destroying that person's potential. "  (Nix) 

"..." (I) 

"Because of the teachings of the Church of Light, my Father and Mother were always hated as evil beings, yet they never had an excuse to attack as neither of them ever saw anything bad in the eyes of other religions or Realms."  (Nix) 

"But everything changed when I was born, Dragons are able to bear children with any race, most spirits are not even able to bear children normally, but my mother was a powerful Spirit so she was able to give birth to a child, but It wouldn't be easy as her fertility was so low."  (Nix) 

"From what I understand, my birth came as a surprise to both of them, normally mixed-race children are avoided most of the time, but the way Spirits and Dragons see the world is different, so I was treated very well by both races."  (Nix) 

When talking about her parents I could see her expression soften, I could also see a glint of loneliness in her eyes, but soon her face turned to anger and her eyes became cruel and full of brutality, I was surprised to see her like that. 

"A few years after my birth, word of me had spread, so rumors began about me being the incarnation of evil and the child of two atrocities."  (Nix) 

"Anyone could imagine where these rumors originated, a few months later an army marched from the Church of Light led by their Hero, they announced that they were going to exterminate evil."  (Nix) 

"The hero fought my Father and Mother, at the time some Dragons and Spirits that were nearby tried to help us, so it all turned into a big battle that lasted for days."  (Nix) 

"When everyone was tired the Hero used a divine item to severely injure my mother, when my father was lost in his rage the Hero managed to lure him into a trap that held my father long enough for the Hero to get to me."  (Nix) 

"I, who didn't have the same power as my parents, didn't have a chance against the Hero, I was killed without having a way to defend myself, but my soul was that of a Spirit, they didn't have the ability to destroy me, so I was sealed."  (Nix) 

"Inside the seal, I had no idea about time, I didn't know what happened after that, the scene of that battle was the last thing I saw, after that came the void where I stayed for what seemed like an eternity."  (Nix) 

"Then came the master, you woke me from my long slumber, you freed me from my seal, you gave me a powerful body with unlimited potential, you gave me a place to belong and I am grateful for that."  (Nix) 

"You don't know how much time has passed?"  (I) 

"No, I don't even know where I am at the moment."  (Nix) 

"Look for Vanessa later, she must know something about what happened back then, she was a priestess of the Church of Light 500 years ago who was worshiped as a saint."  (I) 

"Was she from the church of Light?"  (Nix) 

"Yes, her family belonged to Igreja da Luz, but she ran away for not agreeing with the teachings there until recently she was in a very bad situation too, so try to talk to her later."  (I) 

"It seems that there are people who can understand how distorted the teachings of the Church of Light are, I'll look for her later master, thank you."  (Nix) 

After talking to Nix she gets up and sinks into her own shadow which then moves to where my shadow is and disappears. 

"You don't have anything to say about her story, Layla?"  (I) 

"I thought it would be best for her to speak only to you, master."  (Layla) 

"I'm not very good at listening to other people's problems like you."  (Layla) 

"But what's your opinion on that?"  (I) 

"I think it's better not to let her get close to anyone from the Church of Light, if I were her I'd attack right away."  (Layla) 

"I can still hear you, I admit I have a grudge against the Church of Light, but I won't attack people for no reason."  (Nix) 

"I hope not, you have to keep your anger in check."  (Layla) 

"Says the hunter of Necromancers, when you heard Jana talking about Farus, it didn't take long to try to force everyone to come."  (I) 

"Why is the master always badmouthing me? Nix will think I'm a murderous maniac that way."  (Layla) 

"You are not?"  (Nix) 

"I'm not, how many feces do I have to repeat that I'm a kind and loving Fairy?"  (Layla) 

"Your actions are worth more than your words, anyone who saw you laughing happily while killing those Undead knows the truth."  (I) 

"Vanessa and the master also killed many undead."  (Layla) 

"But none of us were laughing maniacally like you."  (I) 

I took advantage of the evening part to explain a lot of things to Nix, I had to tell her a lot of things that have been going on and where we are going. 

I told you briefly about everyone here, I told you about the people who belong to our group, I told you about Elsaris and her two children who are joining our group, and I told you about Jana. 

I had to explain the situation about the mountain range to Nix, I talked about Jana's village, I talked about the Necromancer by the name of Farus and I talked about what we're going to do. 

Nix needed to understand the basics to know what was going on, the way I always acted was to let everyone know everything that was going on. 

I was surprised that Nix got it all quickly, she also thought it was best to finish off the Necromancer soon, letting someone who can assemble a loyal and tireless army-run wild is too dangerous from what she said. 

After spending so much time talking to Nix I feel like I know her better, I also feel closer to her, as soon as I ate something Caryna brought me I decided to go to sleep. 

Zzzzzzz...
