Dark Souls

Old Ladies

Seeing the familiar face in front of him Aafreda felt very grateful, that person was none other than Alex, his roommate when at the academy a few years ago.

"Do you feel better now?" Alex asked worriedly

"Alex..thank you, I'm really grateful."

"Don't be like that, we're friends. Seeing you hurt like this makes me feel sad. Aafreda..." Alex clasped Aafreda's cold hands, looking at Aafreda whose eyes were never seen at all.

"You have been declared a traitor to the Dunkelheit faction. You know.you're a fugitive now"

"So you want to take me to the council?" Ask Aafreda

Alex shook his head, he touched Aafreda's cheeks gently, Alex's warm hands made Aafreda calmer.

"No...You I've considered my own brother, however if that man isn't next to you now, I'll protect you"

"Sister..I don't know where he is? All of a sudden he was gone, I didn't know what to do" Aafreda said worriedly

"Just relax, I'll find Achiel. So you need to quickly recuperate and never get out of this place"

"Am I in the Ghoul race?" Ask Aafreda

"Right, in this race you'll be safe. After all the council would never dare to touch the Ghoul race that still had a Hero"

"I understand, thank you again Alex."

As Alex passed, Aafreda stared blankly in the air. He didn't know why things were like this, where his fault lay. Now Achiel is unknown where he is, and he has now been made a fugitive.

I cannot die, I cannot lose in this.^^^

Aafreda had a nightmare that night, she dreamed of a great war that was fixed on her. All the factions hunting Aafreda tried to kill her with various powers, there she saw the figure of Achiel who was trying to protect her. Aafreda saw the death of Achiel in her dream.

"No!!" Shouts Aafreda woke up from her sleep

"No. Please don't him, well god why should I. What kind of power do I have until everyone has to hunt me down?" Aafreda is sad

I'd better be a regular guy.

A few days later Alex decides to take Aafreda out, Aafreda is afraid that they will be found out but Alex assures Aafreda that everything will be safe in the Ghoul race. Aafreda also did not forget to drink the race-busting herb, however the scent of the BloodElf race must be eliminated.

Aafreda stared at the green meadow in front of her, she now used a black hood to cover her identity and a black veil to cover her entire face. Aafreda felt the freshness of the air, but her heart still felt chaotic because Achiel had not yet come to her. Especially lately Aafreda has always had nightmares about Achiel.

I hope you're okay Achiel, it doesn't matter you don't want to help me. I'm gonna do all this myself, I don't want anyone else to get hurt anymore because of me. Enough mom and you... Thought Aafreda was sad

"The curse can be a good thing and a bad thing young girl" said a grandmother who suddenly appeared beside Aafreda

Aafreda looked around probing, she had no idea where Alex was now. He was worried that this old woman was a spy because her movements were not even heard at all.

"I'm just an old grandma boy" said the grandmother, who knew Aafreda's thoughts

"I'm sorry? Can you read my mind?"

"Hahaha not so, don't you remember me?"

Aafreda frowned trying to remember something :

The old woman smirked, Aafreda was frightened by her grin.

"I'm Denisha, but just so you know she's not good at lying to someone"

What's?! Does he know I'm lying.

"Ah so..umm "

"Your name is not Clara, tell me who you really are. I just want to make sure of something"

"Aafreda"

The woman nodded in understanding, she nimbly took Aafreda's right hand. Aafreda was surprised instead of playing, she wanted to take her hand back but the power of the old woman was very strong.

why can a grandmother be this strong!This world is filled with strong people!

"Your life is filled with misfortune, you will always experience the same destiny. That destiny won't change even if you try to change it."

"Hahaha what do you mean? Please let go of my hand"

"Listen to me young lady, I know you are surprised by my arrival. But I want to say one thing, you can't live long if you don't return something that isn't yours. Just let it go, then you'll be safe*"

Finally Aafreda knew who the old lady beside her was, she looked at the still smiling woman. He had met this woman once while in the Humanoid race more precisely in the Neutrum faction.

"you? How did it get here?"

"I'm an adventurer, just say so son"

"Are you trying to remind me that my destiny will not change at all?" Tanya Aafreda moody

"You already know the answer" replied the old grandmother

"How come? Though I've been trying all this time, why...why can't I change my destiny at all?"

"All the answers are because you are Aafreda, son.Aafreda's destiny will not change even if another person like you tries to change him."

Aafreda was surprised instead of playing, did this old woman know who was inside Aafreda's body? Aafreda knew that this grandmother knew something, she even said strange things to Aafreda before.

"How do I change it? you said that I could change it if I returned something that wasn't mine. Whatisit? Please tell me?"

"Your eyes.return your eyes"

"My eyes? I don't understand what you're saying"

"You also know not that the power is not yours but that of Cenora's daughter. How can you take it Aafreda?" Ask the grandmother

"I don't know, I don't even know why this power is with me. Please tell me..."

"If you want to know who you are and Cenora go to the central continent, there you will find the answer"

Aafreda wanted to ask back but the old woman disappeared so quickly. If you want to know the answers and solutions to all this, Aafreda inevitably has to go to the central continent. The middle continent is a nameless continent but people refer to it as the middle continent because that place was never inhabited at all, the central continent was a place where all spirit beasts were both legend-level spirits and ground-level spirits. None of the three factions had ever visited the central continent, the continent was a hell for spirit users.

Middle continent? I have to get there.
