Chapter 75
I’ve always wanted to see the future.
I want to know what the future holds. I want to see who I am and what I am ten years from now. I want to see if I have anything to eat tomorrow or what day I will die. If I am still a man and can get married or die a virgin.
But who would have thought that I was asking for just one curse?
“Lina Phoenix” Laramie, the goddess of tears, calls me.
Alissa and I are here today on the mountain of Jeufeng. We fell into a ravine while fleeing a chenoo and unexpectedly, the ravine we interpreted was the ravine where a goddess lived.
"What?" I wonder the question. I couldn’t understand why he was calling me. He had been talking to Alissa lately so I don't know why he would suddenly call my name.
I looked at Alissa who was standing in front of Laramie, I frowned when I saw that alissa was not moving as if she had not heard Laramie and I talking.
"What did you do to him?" I asked before walking over to Alissa and looking at her carefully.
Alissa's eyes were open and she was stunned where, I tried to grab her attention by waving my hand in front of her but she still didn't move.
"I've temporarily put her in sleep" he replied so I frowned.
“What? Why? ”
"I have secrets I need to tell you because your request is different compared to Alissa" he began before walking closer to me. He is still on top of the lake and every step he takes towards me brings small waves to the lake in front of me. "You want to see the future"
I was stunned by what he said.
"Can you grant my request?"
He nodded. “But everything has a limit. once you know the future, you will have an infragilis vow of time ”
"Infrgilis vow of time?"
"It's a promise that you will never know what is set to happen"
"What happens when I interfere?"
“It was equivalent to destroying the infragilis vow of time. in other words, you will feel severe pain before you gradually die ”I was suddenly horrified by what he said.
I was a little hesitant if it was worth knowing the future if I couldn't change it but my curiosity prevailed so I agreed with what he said.
But I immediately regretted my decision when I saw the tragedy that awaited us all.
My own eyes saw the truth about Psyche and Anna, I saw the danger that awaited us as we returned to Bauxacel and I witnessed the war that would take place that would kill many lives.
Included in that is the life of Alissa and her mother madame Diana. The two people who are the only ones who can defeat Psyche.
I saw how Trevas mourned and changed after Alissa disappeared and I witnessed the world gradually collapse because of Psyche’s victory.
Psyche killed all the remaining gods and goddesses, all creatures, Child, adult, woman or man, he missed nothing and the only thing he left in the world were his faithful followers.
But that is not the end of it all. After he destroyed the world he removed the seal that prevented the demons from returning to earth so darkness reigned on the earth's surface.
My knee weakened because of everything I saw in a few seconds. I felt sadness, resentment, fear and despair as if I had experienced everything I saw in the future.
I was held to my chest before looking up at Laramie who was staring at me intently.
"You know about all this?" I asked him.
He did not answer but that was enough to confirm my question. I suddenly felt annoyed because of his calm face while quietly looking at me. "You know about these events but you're not doing anything?"
"As I told you, everyone who knows the future will automatically have an Infragilis vow of time and anyone who interferes with the set will die"
"But-"
"You can't tell anyone about what you've found out and you can't stop things from happening, whether it's good or bad."
“So I just let it all go? Let me just let the people who are important to me die and Psyche destroy the world? ”
Laramie didn't say a word so I just kept talking. "If you are able to just watch everything as everything gradually crumbles, change me."
I know it’s not a good idea for me to speak like this to a powerful goddess like Laramie but I can’t help myself. How could he endure to remain silent even though he knew about things that would happen in the future?
Laramie didn't say a word after that and just returned Alissa to normal before she handed over the frozen chrysanthemum which was our main purpose in going here to Jeufeng mountain.
When Alissa and I returned to Beifang, as I saw it happen in the future. We saw Lady Mara who was the first to donate frozen chrysanthemum for poison treatment to Trevas. Suddenly my forehead frowned because of this. As Laramie showed me, Psyche's character is Lady Mara. If so, what was Lady Mara’s purpose and did she help Trevas cure the poison?
I never had another chance to find out what Lady Mara’s reason was because she also immediately left Beifang and returned to Bauxacel. While I was there, I thought of a plan on how to prevent the tragedy that awaited us without me breaking the infragilis vow of time.
I tried reading books about the magic of time but I found no valuable information. I also tried to do things I wasn't scheduled to do and just in case something went wrong. I tried to quarrel with Alissa, I tried to arrange a celebration party that did not take place in the future I saw but to no effect at all.
I tried to convince Alissa that we had gone to Bauxacel earlier than scheduled but eventually, we left Beifang a day before the three alliance ceremony. As is destined to happen.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming with them?" wrinkled when Jared asked me. His voice was serious and a bit deep compared to his usual voice. Her hair and clothes are also a bit messy. it looks like he just woke up and hurried to come here when he heard that I was going with Alissa when they left.
I stared into Jared's eyes and couldn't help the pain I suddenly felt in my chest. A few days from now is the day of Alissa’s death. And that was also the day I died while fighting the war.
I remember very well what I saw in the future. I remember Jared's appearance when he saw my lifeless body.
It is clear in my memory that his often emotionless face was filled with tears when he found out I was gone but what was more painful was that I was the cause of those tears.
"It's obvious that I'll go with Alissa back to Bauxacel" I calmly replied to her even though my hands were shaking.
"You will come back right?" he asked.
“I… I’m not sure”
