The Eternal Debauchery's

a fox and his father

He had a dream.

In his dream, his father was beside him. Holding her small hand as she slowly descended into the darkness.

“... Dad, I don't want to go.” He heard himself say.

His father looked at him and smiled sadly. He caressed her cheeks and kissed her nose with so much love that her heart ached.

"Don't worry, I'm here with you."

“... Father... forgive me... I want to accompany you father... I want to be with you forever... I don't want to die..”.

His father sighed and smiled bitterly.

“You've given me over 1000 years of happiness. That's enough…"

“Dad... A-Dad... I love you, dad..”.

“I love you too, Emilia.”

Emilia nodded and cried. Tears came out of his eyes, and his throat became dry.

He wanted to hug his father, he wanted to kiss him, but his body was too weak.

He had lived too long, and his body was old. Even if she still looked like a young girl, she had already reached her age limit a long time ago.

In the end, he was not an Immortal like his father.

And he hates that.

Although he tried, even though he tried whatever he could think of, he failed in the end.

Eternity is not so easy to achieve.

And now, death has come to take him away.

To separate him from his beloved father.

'I don't want it ..' He muttered to himself.

'I didn't want it.' He said when he saw his father crying when he died.

'I don't want it.' He thought as the darkness swallowed him.

'I DON'T WANT IT…!' He screamed as his soul was being split.

'I DON'T WANT TO!!!' His soul screamed, screamed, and struggled. Even in death, he refused to disappear.

He refused to leave his lonely father.

Then, he understood.

The truth of the world that has long escaped his grasp.

The secret he had been looking for.

The eternal way of life.

She, Emilia Softley, died, and then found her way to Eternity.

Because of that, he fought.

Using his new ability, he forced his soul to stop spreading.

Then, he gathered the energy around his soul, strengthening his soul to stop it from dying again.

But this alone is not enough.

Thus, he gathered more energy.

So much energy destroyed his own 'world' in the process, only to recreate his body.

The body, the new body, was much stronger than his body before he died.

His appearance, however, was the same as his father when he was alive.

Then, after an unknown time, he came back to life.

"Dad .." That was the first word he said.

But his father does not exist.

There was nothing around him, only a planet that was destroyed with no sign of life.

However, he was not desperate.

His father is alive, he knows it. Something like this couldn't kill his father.

He's too strong for that.

So he started looking for her.

Through the universe, through different galaxies, through different dimensions, looking for traces of his beloved father.

Year after year, decade after decade, he kept looking for her.

Finally, after almost 1000 years, he felt it.

The fluctuation belonged to the soul of the father he loved the most.

So, he used his abilities, penetrating through space and dimensions, rushing towards the place where he sensed his father's soul.

And finally, he arrived.

It was a beautiful planet, just like the planet where he and his father once lived, sharing the happiness of 1000 years.

Emilia smiled happily and started looking for her father. He searched and searched all over the world. And finally, he reached a small town.

There, a man lived happily with his wife and daughter.

As soon as Emilia saw him, she recognized him.

His face was different, his body was different, and his voice was different, but his aura was exactly the same.

The same calming and powerful aura he remembered from his father.

Finally, finally, he found it.

Her dad.

It was a bit of a problem that she had remarried and even had another daughter, but she did not mind. After all, his wife and daughter were just ordinary humans. They will die soon, and his father will be his own.

So, filled with happiness, she went towards him.

But then, a terrifying and overwhelming killing intent attacked him.

It was bigger than anything he had felt before. Even though he was now an Immortal, he felt that he would die.

At the same time, an ice-cold voice sounded behind him.

“Who are you, Immortal? What are you doing here?"

Emilia's eyes twitched. Turning around, he looked at the person he had been waiting for a long time to meet.

"… Dad?"

However, his father did not recognize him.

His father did not mention his name.

His father didn't stroke his head like he used to.

Because, to him, he's not there anymore.

Her father had forgotten her.

“Dad...” Emilia opened her eyes in bewilderment, still drowning in the nightmares she saw once again.

The same nightmare he had seen so many times.

With sadness in his eyes, he waved his hand, and a figure made of energy appeared in front of him.

The figure of the father he missed so much.

Gently, he touched her cheek, despite knowing she was not real.

“In a minute, Father..” murmured slowly. “In the meantime we will meet again.”

He doesn't have to wait long.

"This time, you won't run away from me."

Because his father was very close to him.

“... We will be together forever.”

Even if the witch tries to stop him.

Even if his father refuses to remember him.

Even if he had to fight against the world itself.

He's gonna find his father.

That was his only wish.

Hey Guys!

Something I have to clarify about this chapter is that THIS is the first time Emilia met Claus after coming back to life. At this point in the chapter, Claus knows nothing about him, not even his name. He forgot when he was reincarnated.

She learns her name after this and then decides to remember it when she learns that she is her daughter in one of her past lives.

Moreover, there were tens of thousands of years between the events in this chapter and the current story, so a lot happened in between, ending with Claus sealing Emilia.
