Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Discovering Truth and Lies "We don't know who they are but they keep talking that they will help us." Continuation of Calypso. "Their help lasted for a month at that time and they never returned. We just heard that they were killed. Leaving their children behind. " I didn't speak, somehow I had an idea. Even though I don't know what was the reason for their death… I know they died because they discovered something. "They… have pink and golden hairs… am I right? They have two kids… right? " Calypso smiled. "How fast you can understand, child. I like you already. " Little by little, my tears flowed. My parents… really didn"t die for nothing. Kuya prevented me from knowing, he also prevented himself from knowing the death of mama and papa. It"s because he was told not to, that was their last message to brother. So when the higher ups said that the cave has not been investigated yet. Kuya was eager to go there and discover what my parents discover. "Your parents were so kind and generous to us." He said softly. "W-how did you know that I was their child?" I asked curiously. "Your hair is just like hers, beautiful and elegant. How can I not face the son of the person who helped us? " she reached out for my face and wiped away my tears. "Because of us, they perished. That"s why we decided to go far away from that place, but we"re still thankful for their help. " He added. "It"s better not to get involved in any of your races. Your superiors are preventing you from discovering the secret of the past. " I silently lowered my head after that. So is ancient magic forbidden? Forbidden history? Because of the disgusting events of the past? They were covering their dirty secrets of the past, maybe because they were greedy of power? Is it not? That is why they killed the lord. Angels or demons wanted to rule, use other people to kill the lord. Experimenting and turning them into… monsters. Now the person they inexperienced became stronger and turned against them. I understand that everyone… they… are really… disgusting. "Child, continue living. Your parents will be sad when they see you this early, even your brother. " Calypso's modest reminder. "I will make you one of us in our village." Dagdad niya. He would have said more in case there was a sudden explosion in the chin. We looked at each other and hurried to their village. My eyes widened when we saw a corrupted species. It was large… this is no ordinary corrupted species. I saw a woman named Phoebe transforming into a wolf? "That"s her blessing, she shapeshifts into animals. Help me evacuate other people, they"re not much of a fighter. " I immediately nodded… I helped some of the people and they thanked me. not really judging why a girl like me is here. "Phoebe! You have a wound, stop fighting! " the man shouted loudly, I think his name was Kelin. "Shut up! It's just a little too far from the intestines! " after he said no, the corrupted species approached him. My eyes widened and I pulled out a weapon. And immediately ran into their habit- "what are you doing ?! You"re injured! " Phoebe shouted angrily at me, I ignored her. I"m still injured… what do I do? Without thinking I accidentally used… Fallon's blessing. Vines started growing under and surrounded the body of the corrupted species. Phoebe immediately engaged and she killed the corrupted species. I breathed heavily after that, i… used Fallon"s blessing without knowing. I suddenly became cold… what right do I have… to use his blessing? "Hey good job- are you ok !? why are you pale ?! " Phoebe asked me in shock. I didn't speak and just continued to shiver. "Your strength, sister!" I stopped and looked at the speaker. It was a small child around 5 years old. "Yes! Your sister is great! Teach me to fight like that. " The children approached me and surrounded me. They were full of compliments and I settled down. I didn"t lose control this time, right? No one was hurt… "Good job… uhm…" Calypso didn't finish what he was going to say because he still didn't know what to call me. "I"m Thryia…" I replied, the children shouted and called me Ate Thryia or sister Thyria. Seeing them happy just to get saved calm my heart. "Good Job Thyria." Calypso smiled again. "You can call me Mother Calypso like everybody else." I slowly nodded and agreed. I don't know but… this place… is going to be my new home. I smiled, brother… I"m moving forward. Mother Calypso told me about everything, I in turn taught the children to use magic. Some adult half-bloods joined us too. I learned that they always travel from place to place to find a safe place. I suggested to just stay and create a small community. Then after a month, the livelihood of this village became more prosperous. It"s because I helped them learn magic and potions. I also helped them fight since I"m a top hunter. A few months later… we improved and we became stronger. Half-bloods aren"t that hard to train, because they"re naturally talented. I don't know why they were at the bottom of society last time. But they were great. Phoebe is a shapeshifter, then Klein is a healer. We became friends… "Mother Calypso is calling you." "Why?" I asked in astonishment. I was busy brewing potions for the crops we would eat the whole year.
"It's about your second blessing." Phoebe replied.
"You are already here, how is your left eye? Sorry we can only use a fake one to replace it. " I just smiled at Mother Calypso's introduction to me. She"s the leader of the half-bloods, she"s smart and capable. He is also the reason why I am still alive today, I"m thankful for them because they helped me. Despite me having a trauma, they didn"t push me that much. Instead they helped me forget. "How's your back?" I laughed at his question. "What are you, Mother Calypso, my back has been fine for a long time." I answered with him. "Oh?" I don't know what she was doing but she was looking for something. "You can no longer fly child." "I know, I'm fine. I"m actually fine by it. " I answered him again. Ever since I lost a wing, things got harder for me. Especially when fighting corrupted species. Usually when I fight, I will dash and fly. Now I'll just run. Edi will die if hays die. "What are you looking for?" I asked him. "And why are you looking for me?" We already found a new place to start a village, and this is where we will actually live. The place is beautiful… far away from the kingdoms. Sometimes I wonder what has happened to kingdoms today. Well not that I care, but I've always dreamed of Lyf. I don't know why, I just keep seeing his body drowning. That's it, it was actually a nightmare. Seeing him lifeless like that. I haven"t seen him in a long time and I hope he"s fine now. I hope he is successful now as a King. "Found it!" I looked at Calypso holding a small notebook. "Actually, I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time but…" "Seeing you traumatized after using your second blessing, I actually refrained myself." He continued. So I tilted my head. It has also been a long time since we last talked about the second blessing. I didn"t use it that much anyway and no one here asked me about it. Maybe because Mother Calypso told them not to talk about my second blessing because I have trauma. And the demon-angel villagers respected that decision. "Sorry, are you still not ok to talk about it?" he asked me. I thought mother Calypso was really strict but she"s actually a caring mother for me. "No, I'm fine. I"m ready to talk about it, and it"s been months as well. " "I don't want to run forever." I added. Mother Calypso knows a lot about the second blessing, but she restrains herself. I"m over my trauma now, I"m secretly practicing my second blessing. Trying not to go overboard so that no one gets hurt. "Come on, let's talk." He said smiling. I immediately followed him, we went through the woods and stopped at a river. "Here. Read this. " he handed me the notebook and I took it tomorrow. Wait… I have actually seen this before. "You"ve seen it don"t you?" I immediately nodded, this is the same info I saw in the cave with my older brothers. "That book probably belongs to that person." I wondered, ‘that person" she"s referring to is their type who can create a corrupted species. "Did you also see the drawing in the cave?" I asked her, she smiled and nodded. "That person wants to rule all of the races, so you saw a lot of bowing in that year." He explained. "That person drew that long time ago, before he was experimented." "So… that person is already planning to get revenge?" I asked him again. "Yes, that person already decided that once everything is over. He is the next leader and no one is gonna stop that person. " Mother Calypso replied I just kept reading, somehow I feel that person left that book… for me. Just a gut feeling. The only information in the notebook is about the blessing, not including the potions and spells. The book I possessed has a lot of useful information about spells. Fortunately, I remembered everything and applied to this village. It grew fast and I was so glad that the forbidden spells I practiced help these people. As I was reading I stopped… "Huh?" the little book I got was missing, it ended on the second blessing information. But is it…? May… "Third blessing?" "Third blessing is a neutral blessing." Mother Calypso said just looking away, she casually spread her wings and placed them on my head. Then a lot of fruits fall down on our seat that is full. Huh? I didn't notice yuna h. "Third blessing is hard to learn, but beneficial to the user." "Once you learn the third blessing, you will be able to control your good and bad blessing without a flaw." He explained. So… once you learn the third blessing. It will… help me not lose control on my bad blessing? I don't know but my energy suddenly returned. Or should I say… my curiosity came back and seeking more information to satisfy it. "Are you going to learn it, I know. Only people with a second blessing can learn like this. " -Mother Calypso. "I'm sure it said it's too hard…" he added, I continued reading and saw the warning. ‘If you want to learn the third blessing, you must take the risk. You either lose everything or gain everything. " "This means that once you wanted to learn the third blessing, there is a possibility that you will miss two blessings." She explained. "If its successful then you will have everything but if not, then you won"t have any blessings left. No one has done that yet and its… very dangerous. Will you? " -Mother Calypso I smiled, "I'm still the same curious girl, of course I'll do it." "Wait, why are you helping me learn this?" astonished I asked Mother Calypso. He touched her eye. "You forgot I see the future." Ah I remember, her blessing is she can see the future for 5 seconds. The flaw is she can only use her blessing once a month. (The blessing is also different for higher ups oks? That higher up can see pics while Calypso sees a glimpse of the scene. -Queen A.M) "Is it dangerous?" I asked in astonishment, but he did not answer. Another flaw of his blessing is that he is forbidden to say what happened. She can only say a logical sentence regarding the future that will happen. If she says that her head will hurt and she"s be sick for weeks, it can also cause her death. It's so bad to see the future, so all he can do is be ready anyway. After that I did my best. I did my best to learn the third blessing, why am I so eager to learn this? curiosity? Helping others? I do not know. All I know is that I want to know the third blessing. Third blessing is just a neutral blessing, you know it seems like the safe effect of two blessings. Just, hard to explain. Something that gets rid of flaws in your two blessings, it"s actually a huge benefit to learn. Especially when your bad blessing is deadly. I did my days training and working hard, even though I didn"t have wings and one eye. I still did what I can do, I naturally believed in myself. But of course I also remember what I did before. Which caused a huge change in the kingdoms and mine, the event that almost ruined my life non. The deaths of my friends and family, I always remind myself that if I don't do it. I will hurt people again and many more will die because of me. So I better learn this cleanly. Otherwise another disaster will fall on me. I did this for my own benefit, not for anyone else. For me and for me not to repeat what I did before, I need to learn from the past to move forward. I'm happy I'm alive now and still kicking. Despite the torture and what happened to me, I manage to come back with my own two feet. Because I"m Dethyria Javier. I"m glad Phoebe and Klein saw me when I was teleported, I"m happy Mother Calypso helped me stand back. My former vigor returned, a few years later… my hair started changing colors. Maybe because I was learning the third blessing. I spent 5 years training and mastering my blessings until I became better. Stronger and easier. It's easy for me to kill corrupted species without touching them, besides, our village is getting better. We no longer travel from place to place just to hide from our enemies. "Thyria! Are you ready? Don't be nervous we will be caught! " I turned to Phoebe who called me earlier, today is the day I"ll trigger my third blessing. "Y-you can do it Thyria!" I smiled at Klein and Phoebe's encouragement page. I got up and approached Mother Calypso. "You already know the plan." I nodded at what he told me, we are here in a large area. Many villagers were watching and encouraging me that I could do it. The plan is to use my blessings to their limits without losing control. It"s been 5 years since the incident, now I"m learning the third blessing that eliminates the flaw in a blessing. In order to use my steal blessing too much, I need to use multiple blessings. Mother Calypso began to walk away. Another woman stepped in from the crowd of villagers and started forming a large shield. So that they don't get hurt in case I lose control. I decided to start now, I summoned my weapons. Then I raised my hand to make the plants grow. I also started controlling water and earth, it came from the blessing of other people in the village. They were looking at me nervously. But I calmed myself down, reminding myself that I could do it. Because I"m not the same little girl, naïve and messed up. Of course I used another blessing that was in me. I don't know how many I've used… and… I… I didn"t lose control! I immediately used Lamia"s blessing of seeing the information. And another information appeared. (Third blessing acquired: removes blessings flaws. Flaw: none.) My eyes lit up and I immediately stopped what I was doing. Then I shouted "I DID IT!" everyone shouted after I said that. Of course I read it again and made sure it was true. Mother Calypos, Klein and Phoebe rushed to me and hugged me. I also cried with joy. "Good job, child." Mother Calypso smiled at me. "We have a new leader." My eyes widened and I almost coughed in shock. What? Leader? "A-ako !?" everyone's screams grew louder. They began to bow in front of me, "Hail our new Leader of the Half-Bloods." At once they said. Mother Calypso also bowed to me. e-eh… ??? I have no choice since everyone agrees with me. I looked at my information again… but something caught my eye.
