Chapter thirty-five: I NEED TO GET STRONGER

Staring blankly at the box in her hands Lyla eyes were wide and a hint of fear appeared in the depths of her eyes. Lucien, looking at his sister shocked and scared of something had a bad premonition in his heart. For Lyla who was a monster in herself, her fearing something only meant that it was bad news.

"What's wrong?", Lucien asked cautiously, Lyla stared at the love of paper for a few more seconds before replying " The people on this paper aren't from our realm" She said with eerie calmness that belied her facial expression. Hearing the word 'realm' again and that from his sister made Lucien confused "You know about about the realm" Lucien asked cautiously as he stared at his sister, she turned to him and stared at him in the eyes and said " Every person with a system knows about the 5 realms as their masters had told them about it" hearing those words from her mouth he was surprised as he was told there were 7 realms but Lyla only mentioned 5, his curiosity got the best of him so he asked "Are there any other realms apart from the 5 realms." Lyla looked at him weirdly but after a few seconds replied him "I was never told about any other any other realms except for one called the forbidden realm and hell but that's all I know and was told about" Lucien was a bit perplexed at that, he was told about seven realms not five but he was never told about one called hell, although he knew about it as it was in the biblical traditions called Christianity because he looked for information about the gods that gave him his powers but came up blank as it seemed they were erased from the annals of history. Although hell was depicted in many religions it was never really confirmed and people thought of it as a myth but no one really thought realms were either.

Lucien made a mental note to ask alot of questions next time,if ever he meets the gods again as it seemed they didn't tell him everything but maybe there was a reason for that.

Getting back to the matter at hand Lucien asked his sister about why she was shocked. Looking at Lucien as if he was dumb she asked him "didn't your master tell you the difference in stregnth of beings from the 1st and second realm" Lucien shook his head slightly embarassed at his own ignorance, realizing something tho and feeling the need to correct her he said "They aren't my masters" he chimed him before his sister continued. But the thought of Mrs. Athena being his master and whipping hi... what was he thinking, shaking his head to get those thoughts out of his head he focused on what his sister said and what he heard left him in shock beyond words. She described it in a very simple for way for him but those words still gave him a headache as not only does he have to hunt those men down for his mother but he also needs to end them to get stronger. Lyla said " The gods of this realm are considered common men in the second and considering that I recognise these people as mercenaries who are famous in the 2nd realm from what my master learned from his connections, killing them will be harder than you think ." those words made lucien angry but realising that he knew that they were also just minions in the grand scheme of things because no ordinary person should be able to leave their realm to a lower realm from what he gleamed from what his sister said. Realizing how far he had to go and was expected to he didn't regret it but he was still saddened by the fact of his own weakness and a thought entered his head ' Who ordered those mercenaries to kidnap my mum and for what reasons did wthey have for keeping her for so long and leaving her in the hands of those mercenaries for them to do what they want with her, the more he thought about it the angrier he got. He had been deprived of the loving kindness of his biological mother, not because she didn't love him no,no no no, its because one pompous prick wanted to or had some stupid reasons for taking a woman from the realm below them, who does that, 'i mean WHO THE F**K DOES THAT AND WHY, WHAT STUPID REASONS WOULD THEY KIDNAP HER AND LEAVE HER WITH MERCENARIES" not knowing what was going on for some reason Lucien got angrier and angrier the more he thought about it but one thought triumphed the mess of rage happening in his mind 'I NEED TO GET STRONGER'.
