37 A prophecy and Tavy's new name...
After resting for a while, while chatting about different topics, Konrad and Tavy finally decided to get out of the Lottery space.
While they were chatting, Konrad realized that even though Tavy was really smart, she was also quiet childish and playful. Thanks to their communication reaching the level it was now he could understand her much better and he didn't have to strain himself anymore in order to figure out the meaning of her feelings.
She was also very fond of calling him Daddy which made him quiet conflicted yet happy.
Moments later, the duo arrived at the formation that took them straight to the portable formation they placed on the beach beside the Stele.
Nothing changed while they were gone since the time in the Lottery Space doesn't pass at all.
"Alright. We're back. Now it's time to test this new language! Are you ready Tavy?" Asked Konrad.
*Of course I am Daddy! It's not like I have anything to do anyway....* She replied while muttering the last part quietly. Of course since her voice was transmitted straight into his head, Konrad heard her clearly so he gave her a 'jellypat' and said...
"Don't worry, Your presence is enough for now. You need to train and get stronger so when I really need your help, then you'll be able to do your best." He assured her.
*Mhm! I'll try my best! I want to help you a lot Daddy!* Replied Tavy happily.
Konrad smiled at her, and then, approached the Stele. It was time to read the Prophecy!
His eyes darted over the letters that didn't make any sense to him just a few hours ago. It was still gibberish to him but with every second, the inscription looked less like a random set of lines, and more like actual letters that he could understand. Finally something clicked in his head when the letters change into words and sentences and Konrad started to read the Prophecy.
_______________________
Forged through blood, a warrior approaches, to find The Ruler with no Land.
The War with no Begining shall end with the Blood of The Old Gods, The Warrior and The Shadow.
The final clash will decide whether the day comes after the night.
_______________________
Konrad shuddered. Those were the words of the Prophecy when he translated them and he could alread tell that it wasn't a simple prophecy. There were words like 'Ruler', 'War', and even 'Old Gods'... As for the warrior...A warrior forged through blood ...really? It could have ment a lot in the past. For example someone who survived a lot of bloody conflicts...but for Konrad?
"Well, you couldn't have been more obvious..." He sighed in resignation.
*What does it say Daddy?* Asked Tavy suddenly.
"Oh Tavy...uhhh...it seems like the Prophecy is about me after all. It says 'Forged through blood, a warrior approaches...' So seeing as it was the Compass that brought me here, we can be pretty sure that it's about me..." He explained while caressing his familiar. He found it funny that suddenly it was him that was trying to make her feel better and not the other way around.
*...A-and what does it say about you?*
"It's really vague actually...I don't think I can even guess what it means until it happens or until I have more information. The only things I could figure out is that I am to find some kind of 'ruler with no land'. And that there will be a conclusion to some Great War that probably decides the fate of the world... At least that's my interpretation. Oh...and of course I'm going to take part in that war...I hope it doesn't happen any time soon haha!..." Konrad laughed awkwardly, already accepting his fate. He was really thankful that the prophecy was so vague and free to interpretation unlike Oedipus's blunt "You'll kill your father and marry your mother"...The guy was really unlucky... Thankfully Konrad's prophecy didn't have any such fragments that outright terrified him. It only told him about finding someone and fighting a war. That the outcome of said war wasn't yet decided was another reason for Konrad to work harder.
#SIGH# Konrad sighed and pated Tavy on the Jelly...
"I guess we can forget about it for now Tavy...If it comes, then it comes, and I'd like to get much stronger Before that happens...
Tavy also felt determined to get stronger.
*Yes Daddy! I'll train with you too! I want to be of help to you!*
"I'm sure you will Tavy. I'm sure you will..."

Konrad and Tavy were currently having a starring contest. That Tavy didn't possess any actual eyes didn't deter them from this course of action...
The reason for that was a discussion they had just a moment before.
/5 minutes ago/
"Tavy. I had something that i wish to discuss with you."
*Yes Daddy?*
"Well... After long consideration i came to a realization that...umm...Tavy is not exactly a good name for you anymore..."
*.....what do you mean Daddy...*
"...uhh...It's just...It feels a little to much like a name for a pet and i felt it isn't suitable for you as you are also a girl now...when I gave it to you, It was with the belief that you don't actually have any gender and... uhhh well You are so much more than just a pet fo me anymore..."
Konrad was worried because he didn't want to hurt Tavy nor did he want to anger her.
*... Daddy.....*Tavy 'starred' at Konrad and somehow, he didn't know what she was feeling.
*...Daddy I...I really like my name because it's the name i got from you...b-but if you d-don't like it then...*Now Konrad could fell a growing sadness from Tavy so he quickly tried to appease her.
"Oh Tavy, that's not it! I love your name! And I want the best for you! That's why i make this offer. Like I said, i believe a little change in the name should be made since you are now a girl. I'd doesn't have to be big. I even have a good idea, but I just need your agreement. It's your name after all. You don't need to worry about anything..."He explained and the starring contest began...
Tavy was in deep thoughts while looking into Konrad's eyes while he waited for her answer. She already agreed before, but it was not the way he wished for her to agree. he wanted her to understand that he wasn't forcing her, nor that he was proposing this because he didn't like the original name.
A few moments later she finally spoke...
*Umm...And what do you suggest Daddy?...* She asked a little calmer now.
Konrad smiled seeing that she wasn't sad anymore. Even though Tavy was very smart, in the end she was still like i little child when it came to her character and emotions. She was still too young and inexperienced. That's one of the reasons why he felt such a need to care for his familiar. She was his best friend, amost beloved pet and if he was to go that far, a beloved, adopted daughter...but he prefers to just think of her as Tavy or...
"What do you say about Octavia?"
