My Angelic System

Chapter 162 Reminiscence Of The Past



Although Kye had agreed to travel with the Pheonix, it was easier said than done. Indeed from what she told him, the place where she and he kin stayed was far away from any human settlement in Nebula.

It was almost a non-explored zone.

"How did they capture the Phoenixes, then?" Kye asked. "I mean surely they would have had a hard time if they were to attack you guys in your home, right?"

"Yes, that is true," She nodded while the both of them were flying in the sky to go faster. While they were sometimes interrupted by flying monsters, they were easy to work as the Phoenix and Kye were formidable fighters. And while Kye wasn't strong enough to kill high-level monsters, he was still resilient enough to help his companion. "However, from what I was told, those brats were captured because they had shown their form in one of the human settlements. And willingly at that." It was clear that her voice was filled with anger from their foolishness.

Kye couldn't help but shake his head at the revelation. It seemed that the captured Phoenixes had not only shown themselves to humans but had done so willingly, a move that he found perplexing and risky.

"Willingly?" Kye repeated, his voice tinged with disbelief. "That's... surprising. Why would they do that? It sounds incredibly dangerous."

Phoenix let out a frustrated sigh. "They were drawn by the allure of humans, their culture, and their world. They thought that by revealing themselves, they could forge connections, maybe even friendships with humans. They believed that humans could understand and appreciate the beauty of our kind. It was a foolish and naive hope, but they were willing to take the risk."

"If I remember things right, they told me that they were quite young, right? So maybe their curiosity got the better of them?"

The Phoenix nodded, her fiery plumage rustling as she flew beside Kye. "Yes, they are indeed young and full of curiosity. That curiosity often leads them to explore and engage with the world around them. They wanted to experience the human world and perhaps find common ground with them. It's a trait of our kind, the desire to connect and share our beauty with others. But this is not an excuse to be captured and put all of their kin in danger. There is little to no information about mythical creatures like us, so things could have been worse than it was," She continued with a sigh. "Thankfully we heard of it before things could degenerate. And even if we didn't, I guess we were lucky that you would have been here to save them."

Kye listened attentively to the Phoenix's explanation, nodding in understanding. He could see how the young Phoenixes' curiosity and optimism had led them down a risky path. 

"You're right," Kye said, his voice filled with empathy. "Their intentions were likely pure, but humans are too vile," He said before thinking to himself. 'And probably a few other beings as well.' 

"And I'm glad I could be of help. I couldn't stand by and let my friend's people suffer. No one deserves to be taken advantage of or treated unfairly. And it was just a natural thing to do, so you don't have to worry about that."

As they continued their journey through the unexplored lands of Nebula, the world around them seemed to grow more mysterious and enchanting with every passing moment. Strange and wondrous creatures flitted through the skies and lurked in the ground below. The air was thick with the scents of exotic plants, and the landscape shifted from lush forests to towering rock formations that reached toward the sky.

Kye couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the breathtaking beauty of this world, even as he remained vigilant for any potential threats. Even though Earth was one of the prettiest planets from what he had seen in the books, he couldn't help but marvel at the sight of all those different landscapes.

Their journey was not without its share of perils. From treacherous weather conditions to encounters with formidable creatures, Kye and the Phoenix relied on their combined strength and skills to navigate through the unknown. They fought side by side, their camaraderie growing stronger with each trial they faced together.

Amidst their travels, Kye took the opportunity to learn more about the Phoenix's world. He listened intently as she shared stories of her kind, their history, and their connection to the natural forces that shaped Nebula. He marveled at the depth of their culture and the intricate balance they maintained with their environment.

The Phoenix, in turn, was equally curious about Kye's world. While she could just go and explore the human settlements on her own, there were too many risks at hand. Moreover, it wasn't the same as talking with someone who almost lived two decades among humans. So she asked him about his experiences as a human, the challenges he had faced, and the friendships he had formed.

Through their conversations, the Phoenix could easily understand how much Kye loved his friends. After all, it was mostly thanks to them that he came out of his shell. He was sure that he would have already died multiple times if it weren't for Yugo and Ven as well.

Kye also shared stories of his friends with the Phoenix, recounting their adventures, their quirks, and the deep bonds they shared. He spoke of Yugo's unwavering friendship and his knack for finding humor in even the direst situations. He described Ven's determination and how his presence seemed to light up any room he entered. He also told her more about Enzo, Sylvia, and lastly Lidi. He missed them so much that he even shed a few tears when talking about them.

"You have wonderful friends, Kye," the Phoenix said with a smile. "It's clear that they mean a great deal to you."

Kye nodded, a fond smile gracing his lips. "They do. We've been through so much together, and they've always been there for me, even when I was struggling so much that I even considered ending my life..."
