妻子的秘密

"Hahaha! You are a hypocrite. We are from a lower plane of existence, but you say it is our fault for being weak? I am defending myself here and now but you are blocking me from finishing the job." My eyes grew cold as I pushed Atollie off me and walked toward the golden light.

"Master, no!" Atollie yelled out, but I didn\'t care. I was sick of it. I was so close to killing Azagrade, and now this bastard comes out of nowhere to protect him? I will not have it!

I walked right up to the golden light and stretched out my hand. The tip of my fingers touched the light, and suddenly a cracking sound was heard. The golden barrier in front of me suddenly shattered, and Azengrade\'s body fell to the ground. I did not waste a single second when I saw what happened. I did not even think. My mind right now was on killing this bastard and not letting him go! 

My hand turned into a large claw as I swiped it across Azengrade\'s head. It sliced right through his skull and through the worm that was wrapped around the brain it was controlling. I looked at the mess on the ground before raising my head and letting out a laugh. "Hahaha! What now!?" 

All I saw was a golden light shooting toward me as I looked up into the sky. But before it could hit, a second golden light collided with it. A loud booming sound filled the air as the two lights clashed and exploded into particles of light. This was followed by the voice I had heard before. "You!? Why are you here!?"

"You have crossed the line." A female voice floated across the sky. There was no body to the voice, so I could only guess it was a goddess of equal power to whatever god had attacked. If they are gods, that is.

"Fine! She can live for now!" The other voice yelled out before disappearing.

"Little one, grow stronger. Your time is limited…." The female voice faded away as she was saying this, which confused me. I did not know what was going on, but it seemed like something major was going to happen in the future.

But I was not happy. Even with Azengrade dead, that did not mean things were going to be easy. An even stronger Altorian will probably show up. Or at least I thought he was dead. "Master, only part of the worm is lying here, the rest is missing!"

"What!?" I cried out as I ran over to the body which was once Azengrade. I looked at the piece of worm that was lying on the ground and truly did not see anything else. "Can you detect  it anywhere nearby?"

"No… It has disappeared altogether, I think, while you were being attacked a second time and the two lights were clashing in the sky, that man must have rescued Azengrade…." Atollie frowned. She had missed the entire thing. All her attention was on her Master, and she did not see the other beam of light come down and save the worm.

"We will need to keep a lookout just in case. If the worm somehow slithered away undetected or used some kind of skill to escape, it might show up at any time. But now, this is quite troublesome as well. If Azengrade finds a new body, it will be almost impossible to know who he is. And he will definitely come to get revenge." This sucked. I let one of my greatest enemies escape once more!

"Don\'t worry, Master, I have locked in on the bio data of the worm using the peace here. While I can not detect it at this time, if it does come near us, I will be able to tell if it is him or not. I do know he is not on this world at this time." Atollie explained. "But this also worries me because if his bio data changes, then I will not be able to tell who he is."

"Doesn\'t matter. All Altorians have those lines on their body, and all Altorians are now my enemy. I will wipe them off the face of this planet. Atollie, thank you…" I walked over and gave Atollie a hug. She was doing her best to protect me. 

"I am just doing what I should," Atollie replied. She did not hug me back and only kept her hands at her side. I smiled and stepped back. "But why did the golden light disappear when I touched it?" 

"It is not time for you to know," Atollie answered with this and did not continue. This irked me so much because it was about me, but I was being left out of the loop. I could only glare disgruntled, and stomp my feet, completely forgetting that I was on a water screen being broadcasted all over the empire. When I finally did realize it, I quickly signed off and went home, not to the palace but to my home, home. 

"Faith!" My mother came over and hugged me tightly. I basked in her warmth. She was still having issues, but she still loves me dearly. I let her hang on to me as I walked through the door and saw my father and brother standing there. 

"Faith, you shouldn\'t throw temper tantrums on the water screen." My father said teasingly, causing me to stick my tongue out at him. Only here was I still treated the same, and I loved that.  "I am staying here. So mother, can you make me some snacks?" I asked, causing my mother\'s eyes to light up. Something I haven\'t seen in a long time. She nodded her head with a blooming smile and ran off to the kitchen.

"Is it okay for her to go in alone like that?" My father asked me nervously. 

"It\'s fine. I am watching her. Surprisingly she is doing what she has always done." I replied as I walked over and hugged my father. "It\'s good to be with my family."

My father patted my back and hummed in response. Sometimes I just want to be pampered by my mother and father. I may be eighteen now, but I still feel like a little girl when I am with my parents. I hope this is a feeling I will never forget.
