Light and Darkness: Nytri's Odyssey

Decision

Nytri wakes up the next day, she leaves the bed and prepares a light breakfast for Aia alone as she wasn’t feeling hungry. Aia comes to the dining room and sees Nytri in an apron setting the table.

Aia rubs her eyes, “*Yawns* Morning, mum.”

Nytri responds with a smile, “Morning hon, how was your sleep?”

“I slept well, I think I had a dream and you were ready to kill.” Aia looks at Nytri then at what she’s wearing thinking. “Ohhhh, more ideas for painting!”

Nytri’s thoughts, “My bloodlust must have woken her up, but she seems calm, a little too calm.” And she says, “It was just a dream. I’ve prepared breakfast for you, toasted bread with eggs and Choco-drink.”

“But what are you going to eat?” Aia says sitting down by the table.

Nytri smiles and walks to Aia, “Not hungry sweety, you should eat up.” She kiss Aia’s forehead and Aia starts eating. Nytri goes to the couch and turns on the Television as she watch it and Aia ate. She closes her eyes after a minute as she is on the couch with her head facing the ceiling with her legs crossed on the center table and her hand spread on the couch.

Nytri’s thoughts, “What is this feeling I keep getting.” The area around her is as still as silence as not a single sound is made. Nytri’s thoughts, “What could this mean?”

*Knock, knock, knock*

Nytri is knocked out of her thoughts, “Who could it be at this time?” Aia gets up trying to answer the door, Nytri waves for Aia to sit. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.” Nytri goes to the door and opens it, the person or rather people there are Marcus and Selene.

Selene gives a broad smile, “Greetings Master Nytri” Nytri nods Selene continues nervously, “We’re actually here about…. Well…. You see we would like to ask you to share your story with us and the world, making a movie a… a…aand a documentary. That is if it won’t be a bother, no pressure, any answer will do.”

Nytri raise a brow at her speech, Nytri thought, “Am not gonna eat you, chill.” To their surprise, Nytri is not angry or offended, but instead, she listens intently to what they have to say.

After a moment of silence, Nytri speaks, "I have been living an eventful life for so long that I never care about what people thought of me, but why do you wish to know my story?”

Marcus clears his throat, “Ahem- Actually, we want disclose the true history of the people, specifically you to know what happened to you. We wish to clear your name of being…. A bad person.”

Nytri is surprised, “Oh, but why am I a bad person? Is it because of the rumors about me?”

Marcus gives a wry smile, “Rumors always contain pieces of truth in them, we just want to clarify to the world who you really are and not what others said about you.”

Nytri looks at the roof, “That’s so, then I will cooperate with you."

The sages are elated by her response and thank her profusely for her willingness to help. Nytri then goes to Aira, she is stuffing her face and has crumbs on her mouth.

Nytri walks to the dining table, “Aia, the sages want hear my story.”

Aia turns with her mouthful, “Why’s that?”

Nytri covers her mouth as she giggles, “They want to know how I ended up like this, so basically my past.”

Aira is curious and ask, "Can I come with you, mum? I want to listen and learn about your past again."

Nytri smiles and replies, "Of course, you might get to see how your siblings were made." Aia becomes a blur and tidies the room up as Nytri is heading to the door, she arrives at the door just as Nytri reaches there.

Sage makes way with a bow and a hand gesture to make the way. “A car is prepared to take you to the tower.”

Nytri chuckles, “Don’t worry, we know where the tower is, you can go ahead. We will catch up.”

Sage gives a wry smile, “Then we will follow.” Nytri and Aia leaves as the door closes behind them leaving the sages behind. The sage with the 2 slumped to the ground

His thoughts, “Seems I was anxious for no reason, she is nothing like the rumors. I wonder how they started.”

Marcus seems impatient he wipes a drool, “Come on Dave, I want to hear the story too.”

Selene has this crazy look in her eyes, “We should leave quickly, they might already be there.”

Sage who’s actually Dave gets up, “Right.” They leave together to the tower.

Nytri couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness as they make their way to the tower, S.Nytri’s voice rings in Nytri’s head. “Could it be that this is what we sensed that made me nervous?”

Nytri’s thoughts, “Might be.” And she speaks with Aia, “I wonder how things will turn out, will they cower in fear or amazement? Fear definitely.”

Aia is exasperated, “M~um, you just tell them, who knows. They might like it.”

Nytri looks away, “I find it hard that they would like the idea of outsiders coming to kill them.”

Aia rubs her chin, “Ummm, think of it like an awareness program.” Aia chuckles.

Nytri gives a small smile, “Yeah, people will definitely go crazy. But it’s inevitable, they either believe it from me or they learn it the hard way.”

Nytri and her daughter go to the tower but not before taking a detour. Aia saw a snack cart and led Nytri to it, Nytri was a fan of snacks so the 2 made time to snack despite the gravity of the matter.

Nytri looks up again and sees an explosion far off the earth, Aia also saw it but they go back to eating. Afterwards they go to the sages’ tower to talk about Nytri’s past.

This time Nytri takes her time to observe the tower, it is 60 floors and isn’t that high actually. The insides seem to be higher than the outside, it has intricate designs and statues circulating the outside of each floor all the way to the top, these statues are actually just for show. When they arrive 2 female sages are waiting for them to lead them to Theron.

Nytri and Aia enters the tower as they are led to the 25th floor, to Theron’s office. A sage knock on the door and they enter the room made into an office. The office is large with models of Azuria panzers(cars), Azuria aircraft(planes), Rune cube (a cube made of runes that keep moving), a vehicle core (engine). Chairs are placed before Theron’s table as they looked expensive, there were others in the room who seemed to not be part of the sages.

A lady walks up to Nytri, “Miss Nytri, a pleasure to meet you.” She says extending her hand for a shake, “My name is Linda Daliar from Goldstone studios.”

Nytri turns to her, “I’m Nytri, but you already knew that.” She shakes her hand, “This is my daughter Aia.” Aia is shy behind Nytri or she is pretending.

Nytri’s thoughts, “Why’s she hiding behind me?”

Aia gives a small wave, “Hi.”

Linda finds her cute, “Hi, nice to meet you.” Aia hides behind Nytri. Another man comes over and introduces himself, “Greetings, I’m Edward Kumashia. I’m leader of a dungeon explorers guild, largest in the world. I have made a lot of research on the Abyssal Sanctum, sadly we haven’t made it far.”

Nytri’s thoughts, “You haven’t reached the bottom when I did in a few months? Was that place always so difficult.” And she says, “uhh, good luck I guess.” Edward laughs.

There are others who want to introduce themselves but Theron cuts it. “Ladies and gentlemen, we gathered here for a reason, not to form connections. Master Nytri, Miss Aia please have a seat.” Nytri and Aia sits down, then Marcus, Selene and 3 more sages join the room.

Theron sits down, “Now then, Master Nytri. I believe you are aware of why we asked you to come here. These people here are to help as spread your story to the world. Though I am curious, our records made mention of kids being with you but I never thought one looked this much like you.”

Nytri smiles, “Oh Aia, she is a phoenix who was born after being fed with my energy and another person. She takes my appearance mainly due to long exposure to my energy before birth.”

Selene leans forward, “How can you affect the unborn?” she asked puzzled.

Nytri smiles, “It’s the effect of my rank as a King Calamity, my energy has the effect of changing my environment to possess similar qualities to me. So should an unborn child be exposed to my energy for a long time they start to exhibit features like me.”

Theron looks at Aia questioningly, “Hmm, Miss Aia, could you be the phoenix that was often spotted around Azuria?” Aia nods.

Linda cuts in, “Miss Nytri, I.. we would like to hear your story and in great detail.”
