Chapter 5:

The Final

The girl who jumped in the slime


"ELO, what nonsense is this? I told you to not mention anything that will not happen. I swore my life to get this circle out of the King's head. And you are the one who put this shit inside his head." Furious Kai, couldn't get a hold on himself. Charged himself as a angry bull on Elo. As they were only in the entrance of Elo's house, he uttered the words, Kai never wanted Rin to know. 

"But you said to let the Goddess the truth, prince!" Elo scared but he knew what would be output of this conversation of he needed to play his part as he please. 

"I sent a message for you to not to mention any stupidity of the circle, and just explain the only parts that will help me get Rin understand what I had to because of." His anger was even getting hold of his tongue. The words were not coming out perfectly structured, but the way he was saying it by holding Elo, an wise, old man with his collar getting chocked by a prince. "This is not an appropriate behavior by a prince, Prince Kai." Elo muttered in a small voice, a little provocation. Rin was confused, on what was happening, the second she knows that she is a sheep or goat in a ritual of sacrifice and next she sees her husband attempting to kill an old person. It hard to calculate what was happening. 

"What I said was 100% truth prince! I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings here. If only you were completely honest with from start. Nothing worst could have happened and with a Goddess only-" Elo was still pleading for changes to bring.

"Rinaya is a woman, a human from planet Earth. She is not Goddess as for this planet." Kai said being as furious as he can ever be.

"And alien presence meaning they are a gift from gods." Elo was interrupting Kai's speech.

 "She is my wife and everything, you people never understood. With all of this stupid reasons you got, she is not part of-" then an explosion kind of great force of power or simply explained the mixture of strong air current and light, kaboom both Rin and Elo. Fortunately, Rin landed on your back with not much distance between the wall and her. But she fell unconscious. Whereas, in case of Elo, he couldn't take the pressure and had his nerves hitting the wall, and lost his life. The shock of seeing both of only people around to lose there conscious state. Kai was calmed from his anger, but found guilt at his foot, ready to drown him in. 

--

After a few hours, Rin was able to gain here conscious state. In that period of time she had a dream of her and Kai from there starting of relationship and there times together. More like a recap of what kind of, moreover how she remembered him as person in there relationship. But when she gained consciousness, it was Nye who assisted her than Kai. And Nye explained everything that was leaving the gaps to understand.

"I have never seen Kai so happy Aya. At least, before he was raised cheerful ball of energy, but after you came in his life he got this matured smile and expressions. And I love both versions of him." Nye first started with something she would love to hear.

"The truth is, we need this ritual to take place, as you might have observed from your trip yesterday everything goes in a triangle or got importance of three here. Like the exotic fruits we had are triangle, right? Then when we were all children there was first time ever a circle was mentioned. All the other King's took it for granted that our mother Ditso will provide us even when we will starve. We had 17 Gods besides Goddess Tso. Out of 17, 13 sacrificed themselves, to bring prosperity for the use of the people. What are they fighting for was hard to document but Goddess Tso, once told me that it was the planet's core that was giving up, it's axis, we will either lose our magnetic forces or multiple its strength. In which the conclusion would be we will burst in dust or attract a meteor shower. Apocalypse, basically. Only the Gods can retain the cores power." Then he continued to make sense with why there is a problem.

"When Kai left the planet, it was because of the reading Elo gave, which we already told you was. And even if doesn't make any sense now, he left not to fall in love, but when he did he made sure no one will ever hear about you- there is this thing called, echo-location, maybe. Once someone who holds blood from this planet, calls out its name on a different surrounding as such, will activate there whereabouts. Also, we get to monitor the heart rate of that person, so that we can always know they are alive or not. In that process we can also understand what emotion the traveler is having. So, to never let you be found by our old men. He never once uttered Ditso on your planet. That means if they ever found you they would have you sacrificed. Not just because of that, but any power from Earth is as equivalent as God's power, no one knows why. With your sacrifice, Ditso will make it to another million years more. But I don't support this, will never. I can never ask for any sadness in brother's life than be myself dead." Nye ended up explaining everything with tears in the end. Again something to glare at him.

"Can you not just teleport everyone to a different planet?" Rin asked.

"Hmm, actually we cannot survive without as in literal touch with the core. I mean like we need our core to stay on planet to survive, like at least once in a Earth's month." Nye started scratching at the back of his head.

"Oh! Then brother Nye what about those slimy doors I kept seeing since my teenage?" It was pure curiosity that led her to ask.

"What? You saw those slimy door? How-? I mean that only happened in ancient history. The door to connect with your love of the life, to ever be connected with doors and then meet in reality. But those are not quite working on our planet anymore. To be precise we don't know that magic now.  You had those even on Earth?" Nye was also now curious.

"No! Not really! But I lost quite a normal life since 14." 

"What? That's impossible! That must be the same time Kai might have landed on your planet. How?" A mystery to mystery again.

"Only Elo could have answer to this. Not that any people know about this except the King." Nye said it out loud while thinking how in the world a woman on Earth gained a power of there planet, which is million years away from it. "What? Then how do know you all of this then? Kai told you about this?" Rin was a little off this the thought process.

"I know because I'm the only one who has taken the classes of how to be a King! You need to know every possible dirty past or how things will help you to sustain in future. Our current issue for a decade now we need the energy of a Goddess, Aya." Nye felt like he had been here before too.

"My name is Rinaya. Wait, I said it out whole." Rin was shocked as well.

"What?" Nye asked.

"My name is Rinaya."

"Rin Aya." Even Nye couldn't say it as whole but Rin could, she didn't know she would be this happy to present her name full.

"Why Kai is not here?" She asked.

"He going under some session with father. He not only hurt you but killed Elo." Nye wording was registering quite hard for Rin.

That night, with 13 moons in the sky, Rin had a dream of a man who she meant once and only on this planet. "Greetings Goddess, my death was a planned by the gods. I hope you don't blame yourself, so just in case I came to check on you. But about the ritual... don't think of yourself a sacrifice goat. Your energy is the only thing we require not your soul. We will then transfer you to your life before entering this mess. Which means a way back home, and saving our planet too. Don't think like we are forcing your energy to keep our planet alive as such of a selfish request. It's more like a written by Gods, that it is required to this planet for the ecosystem to sustain." It wasn't a conversation but more like a video letter.

"I'll take part, please don't tell Kai about, brother-in-law." Another added mystery to all the present mystery.

As for Rinaya, participated in the ritual of sacrifice. Without Kai knowing it. She was thinking, overthinking with all the energy and all of the stuff and if her energy was the reason to deliver lives to many, plus why the hell that oldie didn't just tell the truth to everyone. 

Well, because if you know something about your future is, how it's going to happen. It will never happen the same way. Right now, Nye's concern was how things will never be the same not for him or anyone. He is a future King of course, there isn't anything hidden from him. There was something only Nye knew about because he could sense energies out of people.

Rin stood on the ritual mark to get energy flow into the planet. Then Kai who has been searching for Rin discovered her whereabouts and came screaming to stop what was happening. Rin giving a bittersweet smile, knowing she will meet him back again soon. Nye cried for real, because he knew exactly what future holds, or for his assumptions. 

After the portion of energy filled, Rin disappeared from the mark. Kai who was crying and screaming to stop this, was stumped. Only him in the spiritual ground was sad to know that he lost all his past with Rin.

Ditso, gained its energy all thanks to her savior. 

As for Rinaya, she travelled back in time. Not much clear with what just happened. No, she doesn't remember a thing. She is standing in the stage of a wedding altar. And she's dressing in white. 'My wedding?' But she doesn't remember the guy in front. Having a overlapped situation, she might have mixed the appearance of the groom.  After she said "No." And walked out, with Zadie behind saying, "Why go with all this mess, if never wanted to marry Steve?" Steve? Not Kai? And blip all the memories drained out of her.

What Nye didn't disclose was Rin was pregnant, for 4-5 weeks, it wasn't her the energy that was used out of. It was the baby's. She made it alive because the old weirdo knew very well about what this sacrifice was. Even Kai didn't know about his baby.

But the power of baby, it was child of a human and a magician. So the energy was only 2% used for 2 million years ahead.

"This is my friend's friend, Kai!" Zadie gave the last words to a new story.

The End


"Hello! The story above was a little experiment in my head, which was like a short story but well, I'm a human, I elaborated a little much more than it was. Sorry about the mistakes I made, English is not my first language. And hope you enjoyed the story even a bit."
