His Devious Harbinger: How To Tame A Wicked God?

Chapter 109: What would he do with my name?



Chapter 109: What would he do with my name?

Aren hisses in pain when he gets up. He squints his eyes, looking around. Why are there colourful dots floating around him? Is he dead? 

His head won't hurt if he was dead. When he touches a red floating dot, strange memories flash into his head. He moves away, wincing in pain. What are these things? Aren reaches for another floating dot, ready for the pain and memories. As soon as he makes the contact, he feels a searing pain in his head again. He forces himself to look. Memories of his world emerge in his head again. He could feel the pain of the person. Suddenly, he lets go. 

"Is this the place where all the minds coexist?" Aren gapes at the blinking light. That's the only explanation. These dots are minds of creatures who live in Iravan. They feel pain when someone touches these blinking lights here. Aren massages his forehead. "How did I get here?"

Something came for Ari. He was trying to stop Ari from touching it. That invisible force was it Ai? Nameless creatures what does he know about them? As far as he can see, there are only these floating lights. "Damn!"

"Would she be fine?" Aren murmurs to himself. Nameless creatures are unpredictable. But Ai is still his brother. He frowns. How could she see Ai when he couldn't?

She's not from this world. Is that why? Aren shakes his head. Though both Ai and Ari don't belong to any law in this world, Ai is still different. Ai lost his true name. She shouldn't be able to see Ai. 

Is she also here? 

Then, why can't he see her? He starts walking, hoping to come across anything that gives him a clue about what's going on. Where is Ai? Can he see him in this world or not?

"Why could she see something that even a god couldn't?" Aren stops walking when a realization hits him. The harbinger returned the heart to the Dark God. So, Ari lost all the powers of the harbinger. But about the magic that she received because her soul chosen as a renasir? Could she still have some of it?

But she said that she couldn't wield the ehr. 

Is that why she can't wield her powers as the renasir? But the Renasirs are always Mirins. Her body is not the same. She shouldn't be able to see Ai. 

Aren shakes his head. He needs to find her and his brother.

Meanwhile, there's another emergency in the world. 

"What did you do?" Mirinae glares at Raya and Riha. 

"We did nothing." Raya fidgets with her fingers, not meeting her mother's gaze. Riha stands with her head bowed down.

"If you did nothing," Mirinae points at the night sky. "Where did Ril'Yah go?"

Under the intense pressure of her mother, Riha suddenly yells, "Mother, Raya bullied her."

Raya opens her mouth wide. Riha is trying to put all the blame on her. "I didn't do it alone. You also did it."

"What did I do?" Riha scowls at her. "You kept saying to her that she was an egoistic know-it-all. You even told her that she creates problems in people life by not helping them."

"You agreed with me" Raya balls her hands. "You said that she should help people instead of being a mysterious mute."

Mirinae looks at her daughters. Just who would believe that they are supposed to be wise and all? How did she create these good-for-nothing moons? All they know is how to create troubles. Her third daughter is nothing less. Since she's gone from this world, there's no third moon in the sky. The nights are too dark. Travellers get lost easily. People's mindsets are also affected. The kingdom of the moons is lacking a ruler who represents hope. 

"I only asked her about the nameless creatures." Raya puts her hand on her waist. "If she knows about them, she should just say it. Why does she always keep her mouth shut?"

"It's been more than ten thousand years." Riha sighs. "I only wanted to hear her voice. She didn't have to leave like that."

"I am sure that she wants us to find her." Raya narrows her eyes. "She's playing hide and seek with us. Come, Riha. We will find her and then, we will beat her up for making us and Mother worry."

"Just" Mirinae's head hurts. She closes her eyes. Why did she get married and have children? She was having such a good life when she was single. She can't even date or flirt because of her husband who is a god of war and destruction. "Find her. Don't beat her up."

Raya smirks at Riha who winks back at her. In the next moment, the two moons also disappear from the sky. Mirinae glances at the moonless sky. The world before her daughters were born was like this. Why did Ril'Yah leave? She didn't leave the sky even when Mirinae and other gods were asleep. Her third daughter isn't the type who would run away because of her sisters' teasings. 

What is going on? Did her third daughter get involved in something? 

"A nameless creature?" Mirinae tap her chin. "They are usually killed at sight."

Why did her daughters show interest in nameless creatures? They often don't know why they are showing interest in something except for Ril'Yah. Her third daughter gives her the most headache by not answerin anything to her. Is she even her daughter? Her two daughters are always talking. Even Mirinae is quite talkative. There's Ril'Yah who doesn't talk unless she feels that she must.

If a nameless creature is wandering in the world, it's a matter of concern for all the main gods of this world. Only two gods are capable of killing such creatures. Should she visit Noras? Maybe he has heard something about a nameless creature. However, Noras is also secretive. Ea would tell her.

When Cina wakes up, he finds himself in a dungeon. His body is bound with ropes made of pure dark ehr. He can't even lift a finger.

"Adira!" Cina snarls. In the darkness, he can't hear or see anything. He can't even hear his own voice. Then, he realizes that something strange inside him. Something is missing. His core is right there. 

"My true name." He gasps. "Why? No, how did he?"

Is the god of darkness strong enough to snatch another god's true name? The Dark God is even holding him, a nameless god, in his prison. "What would he do with my name? It's useless to him."

Restless and lost, he writhes on the stony floor. His eyes flash red. He has no idea how long can he stay like this. This pain is not physical, but the mental anguish is the worst. 

"Is he going to give my name to that nameless creature?" He blanches, horrified. "No, I am the god of the lands. He can't turn someone else into me."

If the name is given to that nameless creature with an affinity with him, he will never be able to take it back. That creature will take his place, just like that creature took Belan's place. When the world doesn't need him anymore, he will diffuse into ehr.

The Dark God is doing this to him on purpose. There's going to be a trial. If Cina is gone, Adira could manipulate the trial as he wishes.
