would I have to face things so difficult that would break a normal person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time and time again, I have thought it might be because of my legacy,

say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grumpy cold voice made me glance up at Nerissa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was walking in front of me with her hands clasped behind her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long blonde-green hair flowing like waves as her almond eyes peeked through her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I don't know what I should say.\" I replied, rubbing the back of my neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't reply as she looked forward, walking in the narrow path carved between the golden grain field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are far away from the main civilization, hundreds of kilometres away from the capital city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Nerissa's choice of place that she brought me to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I have never been in this part of the kingdom.\" I said, trying to keep the conversation. \"It feels safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…My father used to bring me here when I was a child.\" She replied after a while. \"It used to be his favourite spot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can see why.\" I replied, glancing around once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it nostalgia that made her calm down and suppress her hatred?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She isn't giving me the aggressive look like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…My father was an enthusiastic person.\" She said as if talking to herself. \"He especially had an obsessive belief in goddess Hathor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tilted my head slightly. \"…Why her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\" She replied, detouring from the path. \"He never told me why.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept on walking as I followed behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nerissa continued after a while. \"….He even used to claim she showed up in his dream.\" She paused for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….To tell him about the saviour of elves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept on following her without saying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a long time, my father thought it was Ragnar.\" She said, not hiding her fury. \"That's why he trained him like his own son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a bitter chuckle as she kept on walking. \"…When Liam was born, he thought it was him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shifted my gaze away from her back. \"It wasn't him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…No.\" She replied bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My father's only basis to believe that was what Hathor told him.\" She remained quiet. \"…That the saviour will be close to his daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would Hathor do such a thing anyways?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path that was uncleared for a long while began to appear once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When Liam died…I knew who the saviour he always talked about.\" She glanced back at me. \"…It was you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked back into her eyes.  \"….Then why did you look at me with nothing but hatred all these years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never wanted the elves to have a savior, Himmel.\" She scoffed, her hatred clear in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Why?\" I questioned again. \"Because your son died and they still got to live?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't reply but I got my answer without her saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also cleared my doubt about why she killed the elves when she lost Nymeria in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is mentally ill and I am not going to deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path finally came to an end away from everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of it was a small grave with an old sign close to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slowly looked at Nerissa who quietly sat close to the grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood beside her. \"…Is it—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liam's grave.\" She replied, her voice mournful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was supposed to be close to World Tree—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't bury him there.\" She cut me off once again. \"….I feared Ragnar would come for his corpse some day and I wouldn't be able to do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, you placed a fake one close to World Tree and buried the real body here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't speak out loud as I kept on staring at the grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….He liked you a lot.\" Nerissa said quietly. \"Always smiling whenever you were close to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I drew in a deep breath as I spoke what has been weighing on me for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….His death wasn't my fault.\" I said, looking at her. \"I never wanted to be—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" She cut me off. \"….I raised you and I always knew it wasn't your fault that Liam died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words struck me like thunder in a rainy day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a long while to speak once again. \"…What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally looked away from the grave to meet my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many complex emotions in them but I didn't want to focus on that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze was solely on that forced smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I hate you for who you are Himmel.\" She said slowly. \"I hate that I raised you like my own child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, I could only stare at her, unsure if I had even heard correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… hate me because you raised me?\" My voice was low as I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nerissa's lips trembled, but she held that bitter smile as if it were armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You being alive makes me feel like I betrayed my own son. Like I gave my love to the wrong child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brushed her hand over the grave's marker with care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You're the child who survived, the one who should never have had to bear this curse….and you're the shadow that makes me remember what I lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at her for a long time as she kept on staring at the grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, I stepped back away from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…What a foolish being, I am.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought I could mend the broken relationship between us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was never meant to be fixed in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I drew in a deep breath to get a hold of myself as I turned back and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I could either hate you or Nymeria for what she did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I walked away, I heard her voice one last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I chose to hate the one whom I was never supposed to see again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing for me to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" Pasithea mumbled. \"We are surrounded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenith took her staff as the world around them blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon a group dressed in pure black appeared all around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man who stood in the forefront pointed at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Capture the target.\" He spoke coldly. \"Kill the other two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenith lightly tapped on the ground forming a 'barrier' that enclosed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pasithea stared at them as she quickly recognized the condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are all Overlords.\" She spoke to them. \"I don't sense any Eternal and we are trapped in an illusion type skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siersha looked as the blade of the assailant grazed over the barrier cracking it a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenith gritted her teeth as the barrier shuddered under the repeated strikes. \"I can't hold this for long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siersha stepped forward, her crimson eyes glowing faintly in the dim illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She flexed her fingers, summoning a ripple of blood-red aura that curled like smoke around her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we won't wait for them to break it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenith drew in a deep breath as she created a small barrier under her sole. \"Get ready!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she spoke, the barrier broke and Zenith hurtled herself upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise of the explosion echoed as she formed the runes of fire and air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An assassin took a single step, and the ground seemed to pull Siersha towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dodged sideways to avoid his scything hand aimed at her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting a hold of her balance she yelled. \"I found the one making the illusions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenith, still suspended in mid-air by her rune platform, twisted her staff and unleashed a spiral of flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire cut through the dark haze, lighting up the battlefield for the briefest moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pasithea's eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand brushed across the ground, and thick roots of mana burst upward, ensnaring two assassins before they could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bones cracked under the pressure, their screams muffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There—!\" Siersha lunged, crimson aura flaring around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved like lightning, straight toward the cloaked figure at the far edge of the circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every assassin shifted to protect him, their movements synchronized, almost mechanical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader's calm voice echoed through the illusion. \"So you noticed… too late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath Siersha warped, turning into quicksand-like darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It clawed at her legs, pulling her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not happening!\" Zenith shouted, forming a chain of glowing platforms in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stomped down, and each platform detonated like an explosion, sending shockwaves through the illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grip on Siersha loosened, just enough for her to rip free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\" Zenith yelled, sweat dripping down her cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siersha didn't hesitate.
