‘Anna, how is Wyatt doing? Was he targeted by a curse again?’ Ann asked Anna telepathically while pretending to enjoy her relaxation in Asong’s dream space.
‘This the 4th time you have asked me that. He was targeted by the curse one time in the past few minutes. I think it’s safe to assume, seeing their curse not work on him, the enemy has given up on cursing him. So will quit asking,’ Anna expressed her annoyance telepathically.
‘What makes you sure that they would give up? Besides, Why is there a high-level curse user in a third-rate city? What is going on in our cities? Ever since grandma handed you the southern watch you have drowned the security and management of the south to shit. If only you would let me handle the duties in your place,’ worried about her first love Ann began to obsess over how her love would not be in trouble if Anna had handled her duties precisely.
‘You would like that, won’t you? Being praised by our mother and grandmother,’ Anna got irritated by Ann and wanted to close off their telepathic connection instead she telepathically yelled, ‘What the hell is thinking by removing the ring? Is he trying to get cursed?’
‘What happened?’ Ann asked Anna anxiously. Anna’s sudden telepathic outburst had her worried.
‘He took off the ring I gave him and stored it in a storage card,’ Anna narrated what the boy had done with the dummy ring she had given to him as protection against the curse-type cards.
‘Why would he do that?’ Ann gasped
‘How would I know that genius?’ Anna snapped at Ann
‘Let’s calm down, Wyatt must have a reason to do that,’ Ann tried to think positively.
‘Calm down? Have you lost your damn mind woman? That’s it, I am done, I am getting out of here,’ unable to track her love’s well-being Anna lost it and decided to get out of Asong’s dream space.
“Asong, send me out,” Anna yelled at Asong who was enjoying her new origin card to its fullest.
“Why? What happened?” Seeing Anna act up suddenly Asong was shocked and her mind ran to assume the worst.
“I don’t know,” Anna shouted and said, “Send me out.”
“Anna, calm down. What seems to be the problem?” Asong, who assumed the worst, was reluctant to send Anna out until she figured out why Anna was on edge.
“I don’t know anything anymore, that’s the problem. Asong, just send me out,” Anna did not like the feeling of being unable to keep tabs on her young lover.
“Anna, honey, you may think you are making sense, but you are not. Take a breath and speak slowly,” Asong did not know why Anna was panicking but she knew if Anna was panicking then it was not good news for Aba.
“I have to get out of here. Asong, am sorry,” Anna used her mental strength to get out of Asong’s monster shell forcefully. Which caused the monster shell to spit out Anna and the others without warning.
“Anna, What the hell? What’s wrong with you?” being thrown out of the dream space Asong yelled at Anna in anger, thankfully the shell monster(Life Core Guardian) was just a part of her origin card(Life Core), otherwise who knows what the consequences of Anna’s action could have been.
“Everything is fine,” Anna said suddenly after learning that the boy wore the dummy ring again. And from the looks of it, the boy seems to be well.
“Like hell, it is,” Asong was not satisfied with Anna’s action but she was used to it.
‘Anna, what do you mean by everything is fine?’ Ann ignored Asong and telepathically asked Anna what she was talking about.
‘Wyatt is wearing the dummy ring again. And he seems to be doing fine,’ Anna reported to her twin.
‘That’s great, then I will ask the spies to return to their post,’ Ann sighed in relief hearing Anna say that the boy was doing fine.
It seems while Anna was panicking Ann had contacted the southern watch spies she had planted in the sun blossom city yesterday afternoon to get out of hiding and give her an update on the well-being of her young love.
‘No, don’t send them back. Let them check on the battlefield, as long as they don’t participate it is not against the rule,’ Anna was not surprised that Ann had spies in the sun blossom city, she quickly got on board with the idea of spies keeping them up to date about the situation of her love’s battle.
‘Good idea,’ Ann agreed with Anna.
“…” being ignored by Anna, Asong was not thrilled but was relieved after seeing her calm down and take a seat in the warehouse. But still, she was not out of the water yet, she would be truly relieved only after the boy returned to the sky blossom city alive and in one piece. Till then every moment would feel like she was sitting on needles.
…
Anna and Ann took a seat in the warehouse hall and keenly waited for their spies to report back, but the news they got so far was all bad, semi-demigods from both sides have revealed themselves and the enemy semi-demigods have captured the boy and his clones. Fortunately, the enemy did not plan to kill the boy and the allied semi-demigods, though lacking, seemed to be making an effort.
Anna planned to rush to her young lover’s rescue but hearing Agatha had used the card she had given to her, the heaven’s sanction, Anna decided to stand down knowing the allied semi-demigods still had a chance to save the boy.
pAnda (nov)e1 It took a lot of self-control on Anna’s part for her not to act despite hearing all the depressing news from the spies. She was starting to regret not hiring the strong semi-demigod mercenaries to guard the boy.
While the allied and enemy forces negotiated with the boy’s life on the line, Anna held Ann’s hand, it was too nerve-wracking for both of them to handle so they found comfort in each other. Both of their hearts were beating so hard that they felt each other’s heartbeat. They literally held their breath until the negotiation concluded and the boy was freed.
Seeing the allied forces managed to get the boy back in one piece from the enemy Anna and Ann sighed in relief. They were in such a good mood that they decided to forgive the three allied semi-demigods and not pursue them for letting the enemy go.
Just when Anna and Ann felt that everything was alright, they got the devastating news that for some reason all three clones, among which one of them was presumed to be the real body of the boy, dissipated from being.
