"Ah! About that…"she spoke with a deep thought.
"Although you are the center of the reality disturbance, honestly, you are one of the mediums. There is usually more than one medium, with others connected to the central medium. Not like their importance decreased, but like you were the starting point.
The real caster is, however, somewhere hidden. As for how you are involved in this mess, then we are going to find the real caster of this mess by finding him through you. Did you catch this much,"she explained in precise words as I nodded before summarizing it
"So… There is a caster that cast the spell through me. I am one of the possibly many elements for the reality inversion. We can find the caster through me. Is that all?"
She nodded as she asked,"Any other questions?"
I shook my head,"none as of now."
"All right. My turn then. Is there anyone who is dead and is alive now? Or something opposite of that? Not those whom you killed but somebody who was dead long ago but was alive in your reality?"she asked as she looked at me.
My thoughts went directly to him… Levi.
"Your expression you know someone,"Aisha caught on pretty quick before she spoke,"okay. Then the next question is, are there any other people who have their memories of altered space?"
Once again I was shocked how she was connecting the dots so well… and looking at that cheeky smile, she caught on that one too.
"That solves 2 of the 4 problems we have,"she spoke before she stretched a little. She then spoke,
"All right. Let's then collect the other mediums too. Without them, we won't be able to connect with the place of inversion of reality."
"Inversion of reality?" I asked, a bit confused, a bit curious.
"The place where the bending of reality actually took place. It's not that hard to find when you have all the mediums you have,"she spoke as she began walking. Her direction was… Akagawa town.
I began following her, as I believed she was walking towards Irene for now. Though, I don't mind that… All I have is one question in my mind.
"Why are you nice to me? It's not like you know me,"I asked. While I do believe that there are good people out there, it is rare to encounter people without any hidden motive.
She didn't turn around as she spoke,"Am I? Well. This is what I have learnt throughout my travels all throughout Visca. Trust no one, but don't have assumptions as well. Also, my father taught me to be kind until you run out of options. There is nothing wrong with being careful, but that's no excuse for being ruthless and unkind."
"Ummm… the same father who would be destroying the entire universe in all the other realities than the original one?"I was a bit confused.
"Yeah. Him. Well, let's just say things become quiet… unpleasant for him with destiny and stuff in other realities… even the original one wasn't that great. So much that it changes someone as kind as him into something like that…"Aisha felt sad as she recalled her father.
"Seems like quite the heck of a guy. You seem a little proud of him,"I spoke as I saw her blushing a little.
She turned to me as she smiled brightly,"A little? My father is my world to me."
She was so beautiful…. I almost fell for her before she shook her head before turning to the front as she hummed as she walked. She seemed to be in a much better mood than before. Maybe because she had so much knowledge that I forgot.. She was just a 16-year-old human…. Or was she?
Walking behind her, I saw that her speed was a bit faster than normal. Even though it looked like she was simply walking, her steps were really fast. I had to hasten my steps quite a bit before I matched her pace, and because we were walking at quite a speed, we pretty much reached the Akagawa village before we knew it.
The sun was still in the sky. It would be still an hour before it set. Looking at the distant figure of Irene and Everi, I smiled as I reached near to them, but Aisha, who was kinda faster than me, reached near Irene in a blink, alarming her a little.
-Whoosh! I, too, dashed towards them to see Aisha observing Irene with a deep analytical look. Everi was quite surprised to see Aisha moving that fast and was confused when she started staring at Irene.
"Irene. This is Aisha… Aisha… this is Irene, one of the regressors,"I introduced them to each other before turning to Everi, wondering where the Children were.
"I can see that… but something is odd,"Aisha spoke as her eyebrow furrowed a little more. She seemed to be confused, as if something was really out of place.
"What is?"I asked curiously.
"She doesn't bear the mark of Iniquity,"she spoke as she kept looking at Irene, who was now a bit weirded out by Aisha. Irene looked at me for an explanation, but my mind was already occupied with something else.
"Mark of Iniquity?"I asked.
"Something that gives out the place where the reality was bent,"she answered before adding,"it's rare… but there could be a fourth person other than just us. This makes things difficult.."she spoke as she got lost in her words.
"Ummm… fourth? I don't know if you know this but… there are at least 5 more people who know about the original reality,"I informed her with a concerned voice. From what she just told me, it seems like having 4 people was already enough…"
Her eyes opened up wide as she looked at me with a baffled look. Her eyes questioning the validity of my statement. I pondered a little before speaking,
"Well. There were 5 people who were connected to me when stuff happened. And there was another guy who was responsible for all that is going on… if I am not wrong then, maybe that guy carries the mark of Iniquity?"
She looked at me with her eyes wide open…
"Just who the heck are you? You said 'connected to me' right? So you probably know that the reason they were here was because of you. Hmmm…. Seems like you are more special than I was taking you to be. Hey, can you answer a question of mine?"She asked as her eyes narrowed at me.
I nodded as I looked at her. She seems to be carrying a lot of information with her… just who exactly was she?
"Michael Aroa. You are not a God are you?"she asked as she looked at me. Her eyes turned a bit more furious as she held the spite… it looked as if she were deciding between killing me and not…
"I am not."I answered truthfully, making her calm down a little as she gained back her composure. Hiding behind her previous smite, she smiled at me with a blossomed look as she spoke,
"Is that so? Then it's all fine. I guess."
I just looked at her for a while…. Just what exactly was she… thinking…
