Epic of Bee - Chapter 245

“What do you mean, we are all going, and no one is going to die?!” Sakura asked me, and I nodded my head to her as we started to walk to the other side of the barrier.

“I plan on getting there the same way that the other two did over three hundred years ago. There is a crack on the edge of the galaxy somewhere, and I intend on finding it,” I explained and then reached for Sakura’s hand, but she stopped, not grabbing it right away.

“Is that how Tyler left?” Sakura asked in confusion, and I gave her my own confused look.

“You don’t know how they left?” I asked, But Sakura shook her head.

“No, only found out that they left after the hero and I saved the world. I have no idea what happened to the two after they left, no one ever told me, and I got no visions of it,” Sakura explained, and I frowned, but I guess that it made sense, and at least she survived this entire time.

“The two of them left through a crack in space, but Tyler tricked Jessica. I don’t know if you know who Granthus is, but….” I started to say, but Sakura cut me off with rage filling her eyes.

“Oh, you mean Jessica’s traitorous lover?” Sakura nearly spat, and I nodded my head but explained as I did.

“Granthus was being controlled by Lichtar and was tricked by Tyler; you all were. There is no reason for us to keep on blaming them for this; Tyler tricked everyone. I really wish that I could get to the bottom of what the point of all this is,” I said with frustration as I pulled back the hand that I extended to Sakura and balled it into a fist.

Again, I was hanging out to dry and had no real answers to the questions that I kept asking. Each time I got close to the answer I am looking for, something else pops up and blocks my path or refuses the knowledge.

“Are you trying to tell me that Geth didn’t betray us then? I hardly can believe that, considering the damage that he has done since Tyler left!” Sakura countered, but I shook my head yes.

“He is with friends of mine right now, and he is one of my subjects, just like you, and you know what that means. I don’t think any of the Fallen are actually bad. Instead, I think that they were tricked and now are forced to do these things,” I explained, and Sakura just stared at me for a moment.

I could see why she might be a bit apprehensive about trusting someone like Granthus after everything that had happened, but we didn’t have time for this. We needed to get going to the others and then out of this cave, but some things needed to happen before then.

“Listen, you can ponder over this later, but for now, I need you to listen to me and to follow me. No matter what anyone says, I do not want you to start any problems unless I give you permission. I will not order you to do this but know this. I have given this type of trust before, and it was broken, so if you go against my word, I will put you under strict command,” I explained in a no nonsensical tone.

Sakura looked at me defiantly, but only for a moment before she bowed to me and walked closer to me, now offering me her hand.

“I shall listen, and I will control my anger and temper,” Sakura said with a tired smile, but I could tell that she meant it, but she was still skeptical.

If I would have been able to defeat the monster that had her father’s Gem Heart in it, then she would trust me explicitly. Unfortunately, I bit off more than I could chew with the monster, but hopefully, being able to best Sakura will be enough for the other two Ravagers.

I took Sakura’s hand and then smiled at her before taking it.

“I think that it will be fine. You are a smart girl, and I know that much of what you do is bravado, which is okay. As long as you make sure that you listen to what I said, then everything should go off without a hitch, and we will get out of here fast,” I explained, and Sakura nodded but sighed.

“I will keep my thoughts and opinions to a minimum while you deal with Rai Cait and the others, but I can’t promise that I will stay that way if they start to insult me!” Sakura told me, and I squeezed her hand as I started to walk forward again.

“That is fine. I don’t expect you to completely change your personality; I just want you to not make a scene and make this harder than it has to be,” I explained, watching us step through the barrier.

Like last time, there was no feeling when it happened, but now I could see all the Magical circles that were making up the barrier. I would need to figure out how to break or deal with those things, or I would be in serious trouble If I ever ran into something like that again or the same monster.

The moment we got through to the other side, I sent a ping to my Cat Dragons, and they replied that they would meet us at the fork. I was excited to see them, but suddenly, out of nowhere, I burst with light.

Sakura let go of my hand and then jumped back, surprised, but I was just as confused.

I looked down at the lightless light that was so bright, but I could see through it perfectly fine. Then I saw what was causing it.

Hexi was the one that burst out with light, and now she was the one changing. I wonder what evolution she would go under, but the real question is, how did she evolve so fast?
