Pov Y/n:
<<Zushi, the truth is... I have a mission to complete. An extremely important mission, for which I'll need to go to Natlan, see the Pyro Archon. I-
-Why didn't you tell me...?" he calmly questioned.
He's not angry? Surprising.
-I didn't tell you because I was afraid of your reaction, you're so... Unpredictable, I struggle to keep up with your mood swings and behaviors... I love you, be sure of that! But the one I love isn't as cruel as he lets on. I affirmed, secretly hoping he would understand my indirect plea.
He said nothing, letting a long silence settle between us. The weather was turning, and unable to bear the tense atmosphere any longer, I left first, accompanied by tiny raindrops falling one by one on my hair, forming a veil of small transparent pearls.
Let them not ask any more questions about my mission... I don't want to have to lie to him.
Scaramouche's POV:
I was shaken. I suspected she was hiding something from me, but I hadn't thought it was this important to her.
Did she not trust me?
Or rather, I hoped she trusted me enough to talk to me about it. But what did I expect, really...! Humans are all the same, she's no exception...
-You're wrong, son of Raiden. She is in every way different from humans, and she has her reasons. It's up to you to trust her, to give back that which so many have trampled upon, causing the deep wound I can see in your heart, the bird thundered.
-How did you... Are you a telepath? I asked, wary.
-I am, indeed. But Y/n isn't one. Yet, that didn't stop her from seeing and understanding this truth. Just as fire burns away all unnecessary coverings, I see beyond deceptive appearances and layers of matter that conceal true truth, proclaimed the bird as it took flight again, heading towards an unknown destination.
Because there are false truths? News to me.
The legendary bird flew off, soaring high into the skies with a few flaps of its wings, leaving me alone with my doubts.
I didn't know what to think anymore. Y/n hadn't lied to me, certainly, but she had hidden something fundamental from me.
I should listen to the Phoenix and avoid asking her questions. Given how she left, I suppose she doesn't want to talk about it anymore. Perhaps one day she'll open up to me a little more, although she really doesn't seem to want to discuss this topic.
I sighed heavily, vigorously massaging my temples. I had to go to Sumeru to become a god, thanks to this strange technology that would allow me to wield the different elements. But I also wanted to help her in her mission, even though I didn't know what it entailed.
I headed back to the café, more troubled than ever, feeling a disaster looming without really knowing why.
I have a bad feeling, as if something we're not prepared for is brewing without us realizing it.
Arriving at the café after long minutes of walking in the now pouring rain, I pushed the door open, shivering slightly. It was significantly warmer inside the establishment than outside, which allowed me to warm up a bit.
Y/n, who was sitting at a table with Hilma, jumped up when she saw me. She hurried towards me, visibly worried.
-By the Archons, you're soaked to the bone! Go upstairs immediately to shower and change, not only are you going to catch a cold but you're also going to turn the café floor into a giant swimming pool! And I don't want to clean the hardwood floor, she joked.
-There's a bathroom upstairs, third door on the right. Can you take him there, Dalhm? Thanks in advance, ordered Hilma, taking Y/n by the arm and leading her into another room.
-Um... You're welcome? I guess I'm obliged. Well, I've had the chance to charm men before, it's within my abilities. So, my dear, you-
-One more word and I'll rip your tongue out to serve it as soup to your customers, I threatened, pulling a blade from my long sleeves.
-Calm down! Remember, it's thanks to me that you had the brilliant idea to follow Y/n into the woods, you could be a bit more grateful, you little ingrate! grumbled the emerald green.
I didn't say anything, simply starting to climb the stairs. He got up as well, following me up the wooden and marble stairs.
Upon reaching the top floor, he showed me the bathroom, opening the door to let me enter first, which I did.
He suddenly pressed me against the wall, pressing on my carotid artery with a fine glass blade under my throat.
-I have no intention of killing you, but if you dare to raise a hand against Hilma, I will be merciless, son of Raiden, the young man spat, looking at me coldly.
-How do you know she's my creator mother? was the only question that came to mind.
-Well, Hilma and I know everything Dame Kusanali knows. If you think you know everything about the Archon of Sumeru, you're sorely mistaken! She is the Archon of wisdom, you can imagine that she has a backup plan in case something happens to her, he chuckled, loosening his grip on my throat.
-Are you in love with Hilma? I taunted, smiling wickedly.
-Are you in love with Y/n? he retorted, defensively.
-...You're incredibly annoying as a guy. Well, your goal is somewhat similar to mine in a way. So, I can understand your gesture, but... I sighed.
At a furious speed, I pinned him to the ground, pressing my knee against his neck, holding his arms against the cold tiles. I drew out my blade and violently plunged it into the floor, near his jugular.
-I can't stand to see a being inferior to me point a weapon at me, I reprimanded, looking at him coldly, pretending to be ready to kill him.
-Kh... You're strong. But if you kill me... he choked with a smile, vainly trying to regain some oxygen.
-As if I would really-
-By Nahida, what on earth are you doing, you poor fools!- exclaimed a feminine voice.
Chapter 16 - End.
