Transmigration Into The Beginning After The End

Chapter 26 - Concern

CHAPTER 26 - CONCERN

"Elder Rinia, if what I say could be a life or death situation, why not tell me why? I mean I am entirely out of your visions ever since we met three years ago, even though you told me that the shadow is no longer there. What is it that you guys called it? The King's Shadow?" I stood up in the heat of the moment. Of course from someone else's perspective, it was going to be something else, like it didn't make sense. Not for me.

I didn't know what was going to happen from now on, now that I've gotten this power. Everything was going to change. The balance, the settings, the war.

Yet, I made my decision a long time ago but I needed to confirm it. To know that I wasn't going down the wrong path.

"So tell me, Rinia Darcassan. Tell me what would the situation be if I moved that purple mote? Would the world come to an end? Or would I become a target for those asura's just like how Mordain and his clan have been for god knows how long?" I took a second and let my words sink into the air. Maybe this was a way to let things off my chest, but I know it wasn't the best one. "I am not an otherworldly being. How many times do I have to say it? I'm no asura, no pantheon, no phoenix, no dragon, no elf, no dwarf, no djinn. I am only a human mage, Elder Rinia. If I was actually someone of strength for this continent, then I wouldn't be here, I'd be in the front lines, in the dungeons, making it safe for adventurers to make a living, to make sure there isn't anything that could damage our continent. But I am only human. Not some nonsense that you guys call King's Shadow."

Without noticing, my mana had riled up to the point where I had almost shown her that power. I felt agitation, if she actually saw it then she might not know what is in store for the future.

This power is something I can't show yet. Not now. If I did, things would go out of hand, many will be targeted, and for me to be sure, I need to use it to its full potential. Not only that, now that "The King's Shadow" hasn't appeared in a while, that means that she can't see into my future and see what power I have.

That was enough.

I walked towards the door, not looking back on the old elf. Opened the door and without looking back but rather towards the poor lighting outside the house symbolizing that it was already evening, I said, "I truly think that your actions are something that I can rely on, Elder Rinia. However, if you can't tell me what exactly that means or what could change just because of a purple mote, I don't think I can tell you whether or not I moved that purple mote. Until then, Elder Rinia."

As I was about to go through the door, I heard her faint voice with guilt written all over her voice. "I'm sorry Luke."

The door closed and became the sole thing between me and the elf.

I let my feet take me wherever they wanted to go towards, all while I inhaled the cold air around me and tried to understand Rinia's motives. My eyes gazed above me, watching the top of the trees move opposite to me, covering the night sky that I was so eager to witness once more.

Nevertheless, my mind only occupied the sole reason to train harder, to exceed my weakness and become stronger. Of course, I had pushed this thought aside. "Not today. Not today," I muttered quietly before looking upon the guards that had brought me in the carriage before.

When I got closer, their attention was towards me. "Welcome, young Luke. Will that be it for today?" One guard ask while the other opened the door to the carriage

I pondered, surely it wasn't all. There was still some time before we left to Sapin, still, how long or how much longer? Perhaps we still had time for one more raid. "Yeah I have one more stop."
