Chapter 427: A path
The demon glanced at Nessa then lifted her up in his arms with his eyes narrowed and the others looked at him then Riki smiled before helping Kurson up, though he was still unconscious and he took him to a house and the demon took her back to her home and placed Nessa on her bed as the others entered the room.
They all wondered if she was doing okay, since the girl won't budge even though they called out her name many times and the demon's eyes began glowing as he placed his hand on her forehead, to have a look at her.
"She will be fine, she is just unconscious, she like she has gotten stronger in a way as well," The demon said.
"Stronger?" Stymir asked and the demon glanced at him with his eyes narrowed.
"Yes and that's not normal, you know that don't you?" The demon asked and Stymir's eyes narrowed as he looked at him then a smirk appeared on his face.
"And? Is there a problem?" He asked and the demon exhaled deeply before scoffing.
"No, it's just that this is the very reason, she will be targeted, so don't treat it like it's nothing," The demon responded and the dragon exhaled deeply, for he understood where the demon was coming from with all of that.
"I know and I am not ignoring it at all, I just will support her, it's why I am here," He said as Riki and the others walked in.
"How did she do that? That wound, he couldn't have survived it yet he did, because of her, that's only possible for mostly those at the highest rank of mages or that of demon lords, so what is going on here?" Riki asked and a smirk appeared on the demon's face.
"A demon lord huh?" He asked and the dragon glanced at him, wondering what he was thinking about so intently and he exhaled deeply, for he was more worried about Nessa's future.
"Is this going to cause problem for her since none of us here are sure about what's going to happen nor do we know what's going on with her, only she can answer these questions" Riki said.
"You are right, only she can and it can cause problem but by those who may feel threatened by her, she will face more problems," The demon said as she began waking up then she sat up and held onto her head and a burst of energy was released from her body.
The energy pushed them all back and shook the place a little and she opened her eyes with them being brighter than they were before and the demon leaned in closer to her and they locked eyes and she smiled a him.
"How long was I out?" She asked as they exchanged glances, still stunned by what had just happened and wondered with the burst of energy was that she had just released from her body.
"Quite a while," The demon responded as the dragon pulled him away from her and the demon scoffed then looked at her.
"Nessa, we need to talk," The dragon said and she held onto her chest then lowered her gaze.
"I know, it's not right," She replied and the dragon's eyes widened as he looked at her and she exhaled deeply before looking at him.
"It's not that it's not right, it's just then it's slightly different from most, you are not like that others, your abilities doesn't have a level or a limit, not one that you or I know of, am I right?" He asked and she nodded.
"And what's wrong about that? She has potential to turn a lot upside down, everyone here knows it, but the question is, what's going on with you and which path do you choose?" The demon asked her and she looked at him.
"Path do I choose?" She asked as she tilted her head and the demon's eyes narrowed as he looked at her.
"I wonder, I will handle my own problems, don't worry, I will take care of it soon, I will choose what I do also what kind of attention will I draw this time?" She asked.
"The demon lords, they will come for you if they think you are a threat or maybe you will have a chance, who knows, it will all get quite complicated, you are a rare breed among all of us as well," The demon said and she lowered her gaze.
"Rare huh? Whatever I will look after this myself," She replied and the dragon chuckled then looked at her.
"You really don't fear easily huh?" The dragon asked as she got up from the bed and exhaled deeply.
"Kurson, where is he? Is he okay?" She asked and they looked at each other then smiled before nodding and Nessa smiled at them, for she was pleased to hear that.
"Good I am glad, I will..." She said as she felt a tight squeeze on her chest and she gritted her teeth.
"You okay?" The demon asked as he looked at her and she nodded.
"Yeah, I am fine I just need to relax a bit, that's all I have been fighting a lot more than usual lately," She responded and they smiled at her.
"Then, relax a bit more and you can go and see him later, he is still unconscious but completely healed and is breathing fine," Riki said and she looked at him then smiled a bit.
"Alright, I will rest in the meantime, is there anyhing else that happened while I was unconscious?" She asked.
"No, we were just discussing a few things and the others were cleaning up the mess from earlier with those that followed him here," The demon said and she glanced at him.
"He was set up, but he got out with sensitive information, one which they want him gone for, make sure word doesn't get out that he is alive," She replied and they all nodded then smiled at them.
Just then she began seeing someone in her vision, a guy with piercing red eyes, within a dark room and the presence felt all to familiar to her as well as powerful and her eyes began glowing.
