From a King to a God [Awaken ] Chapter VIII

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Fine. " — She extended her arm towards the Saintess waiting for her to hold on to her hand —

Saintess || Aurelia

— She extended her arm as well as her hand grabbed her's, locking each other in a handshake — “ Heheh...my lady, you see ...my power here that everyone see's as a blessing is nothing more than a curse ..."

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Huh...how can that be.? "

Saintess || Aurelia

" I've been living a life of torment, constantly being brought back using methods that go against the will of God, never to rest in peace. "

Saintess || Aurelia

" They don't care, they don't care at all on how many times they do it or how tired my soul is. So they are aware..."

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" They are aware that...? "

Saintess || Aurelia

" That they cannot continue this ordeal for long ... That's why they plan on transfering this curse of mine to a young girl and make her the new Saintess..

Saintess || Aurelia

" They'll probably make some glorious story of my death and that'll be the end of me...yes

Saintess || Aurelia

Oh yes... I never cared at all, after being alive for so long, I couldn't care less about what happened to me... I just wanted to die. "

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

[She wanted to …?!? The Saintess, I never expected to see this side of her, wanting nothing more in life. To have little to no desire to live and just waiting for the day you die. I know that feeling far better than anyone else...] " !!!! "

Saintess || Aurelia

" But I changed my mind now...I no longer want them to take my power...not anymore. "

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Why did you change your mind.? What then.? "

Saintess || Aurelia

" You my lady, you made me change my mind, this power that I have shall not fall to the fortunate, I deserve to be free from it's shackles but I shall not fetter that young girl ... "

Saintess || Aurelia

" So this power ..."

Gold chains emerged from thin air, surrounding their hands and arms, this made it difficult for Athymathy to back away

As she was already caught in her web.

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" W-what is this?! What are you doing ?! " — Her face immediately went pale as fear creeped up from behind —

Saintess || Aurelia

" My Lady, I'm giving my power to you, take this “blessing” of mine and use it to the best of your capabilities !!!!!! " — The chains reached her shoulder and now slowly wrapping around her neck —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" n-no, NO WHY ?!?! " — She could feel the cold chains wrapping around her neck, this new found energy seeping into her body — [ it hurts- it hurts like hell- ]

Saintess || Aurelia

" HAHAHAHAHA, AHAHAHAHAHA " — Her laughs were loud and hysterical, she felt immense joy knowing how angry and disappointed the Priests and Bishop will be — " HAHAHAHA HOW MARVELOUS, TO LOSE THIS SACRED POWER OF MINE.!!!!

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" ENOUGH, PLEASE STOP .AARHG!! — She could feel her entire body ache, her muscles felt like they were being ripped apart, forcing her entire body to readjust to this power — " EEENOUGHHHH !!!!!!

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" I'LL DIE IF THIS GOES ON !!! "

Saintess || Aurelia

" NO YOU WON'T! DEATH MAY REACH YOUR DOORSTEP BUT IT WILL NEVER ENTER!!! BECAUSE YOU'LL BE IMMORTAL..!!!! — The chains transferred her essence of magic to Lady Athymathy, her smile was undoubtedly bright and cheerful Aware that Lady Athymathy would suffer a great bundle of pain —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" I-IMMORTAL ?!? " [ no, are you saying I can't die now? Meaning I actually have no choice but to live?!?] " THIS CAN'T BE ?!!? NOOOO " — Her struggles were only rendered futile, in the end she had no choice but to accept this, it was her inevitable fate —

Saintess || Aurelia

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA EEKEKEKEKEKEKE EYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAH "

The chains instantly broke, the force pushed both of them back, causing Athymathy to fall down and Saintess Aurelia to fall back into her long couch

Together, breathing heavily as Athymathy had gold lines all around her arm and neck, the pain and power surging throughout her body was immense

A power she never thought she would receive.

Saintess || Aurelia

" Attend Vermillion -inhales- Academy, that's w-where you'll start -exhales then inhales- your journey of finding your purpose... start's there... you'll receive your answer...from God h-himself "

Saintess || Aurelia

" -exhales- aah.. -inhales- also...go find my daughter in the outskirts of Alphia...the one whose father is the third Emperor... Of Alphia...

Saintess || Aurelia

" You may leave..."

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

— Tears down her eye, the pain she was feeling reminded her of her first life — " Ergj...eurhgh...krerkh.." — Her distorted breathing mixed with the sounds of her bodily fluids gushing and almost wanting to rush out of her body —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

Athymathy gathered the little strengh she had and walked out of the room without any word. Only the sound of groans remained as she walked out of the room, The Saintess undoubtedly felt proud of herself

But also pity as well.

Saintess || Aurelia

" To ensure that...-inhales- you follow through our agreement... You shall not, die out of your own will and the will of others... — She giggled lightly before coughing —

「Maid」Sume

My Lady..? "

「Maid」Angel

" Lady Athymathy..? "

They both gasped when they saw her state.

「Maid」Angel

My lady! What happened to you ?! "

「Maid」Sume

" We heard a bit of screaming but we didn't realise...that ..

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Shut...up... "

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Get me a blanket or scarf to cover my arm and neck, immediately..." — Her voice strained with pain, all of her politeness vanished in an instant, turning more hostile and harsh —

「Maid」Angel

" Yes my Lady ! — She immediately ran down the corridor headed towards the carriage —

「Maid」Sume

" My Lady!! please wait here! I'll call Priests, maybe they'll- "

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" No, don't you dare call them... " [ if they find out, the agreement me and the Saintess made ...all of that suffering would be for nothing and history would just repeat itself...]

「Maid」Sume

" B-but my lady... you're.. "

「Maid」Angel

— running towards them with a Large scarf — " My Lady!! I've returned with what you requested! "

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Good...wrap it around me now ."

Angel and Sume tried to cover Athymathy up using the scarf,they covered her arm and neck using the Scarf. Ensuring that nobody see's her gold stripes

The priests were headed their way, they needed to act fast and create a scene where nobody would suspect Athymathy.

Athymathy pulled herself together and beared through the pain, forcing a smile

Priest Caelum (2)

" I believe it's this way. "

Priest Vernon (3)

"Don't tell me you forgot the directions. "

Priest Caelum (2)

" Of course not, you should know that the Bishop is dropping off all of his work to his subordinates so obviously my plate is full. How can I perfectly remember everything while also suffering from work. " — He sighed as he crossed his arms —

Priest Vernon (3)

" You're just weak, say it. "

Priest Caelum (2)

" And you're an idiot. "

Priest Vernon (3)

" Hey!! You-..huh..? " — He took notice of the individuals up ahead "

Priest Caelum (2)

" What? What is it? " — He turned to look at where he was facing and also realised why he was suprised —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" There they are..." — She murmured — " Let's go..."

「Maid」Angel

" Right.. "

「Maid」Sume

" Understood. "

The Maids assisted Athymathy to walk the same direction as the priests, they were walking above average speed, trying with all their best to leave unnoticed or unquestioned.

Priest Vernon (3)

" Why are they...

Priest Caelum (2)

" Let's go. "

The two priests walked from behind

It started off as simple walking then soon it turned into speed walking and that turned into running.

In the end it turned into a chase, one side hunting while the other is running. The maids tried to shake them off but the priests knew the Church hallways far better than any outsider.

They were able to see the doors, victory was their's...or so they thought

Until an individual walked in and stood in their way. All hope was now lost.

Orpheus D.Stark

" Greetings Lady Athymathy. "

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

[ Ugh' Damn. ] " Mhm Greetings. — She forced out a smile —

「Maid」Angel

[ Oh no, we were too slow ..]

「Maid」Sume

[ I'm certain this is not what the Lady desired.. ]

Orpheus D.Stark

" I see that you are in a hurry to leave but why the rush. Stay a little bit longer, it's rare for you a member of house Vonsuen to visit. "
