Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 321

Ryuu did not know what to think about everything that happened a few hours ago as such he sat in front of his mother’s grave as he looked at it intently at that he did not know what to think about everything that happened he felt numb about it, on one hand they saved him raised him but then again the betrayal against their own flesh and blood it seemed blasphemous to him, yet it did happen.

He felt at a loss about what he should do as he mulled about the grand exposure of the past he had heard which made his head spin.

Ryuu looked at his teacher Nuwa the strong and stern woman was nearly hyperventilating as he looked at the worried look of many others as he something in him snapped, as he shouted out, “Stop spouting out lie you damn bastard.”

The woman simply smiled at Ryuu which infuriated him even further as he vanished with a cry as if he teleported causing the woman’s grin to widen as a scorching hot flaming sword stopped mere inches from her face as she looked at Ryuu’s face as she spoke with nostalgic tone in her voice, “Till the same hot headed as always.”, she then looked up at the draconic silhouette as she continued, “Oh seems like you have in your anger managed to open a sliver of his second set of eyes, but I should warn you trying to do any further by force would detrimental to your health and as for me being a bastard well my parents were happily married till they were murdered whom you help me avenged.”

Ryuu struggled to move it seemed as if something had paralyzed him completely he could not move even a single muscle while he floated in front of her as he let out a snarl, causing the woman to growl in return, “Beloved, stop glaring me with those yes otherwise I will simply gouged them out.”, a bout of killing intent doused any and all anger that Ryuu felt as reality crashed on him.

Maheswara sighed as he rubbed his forehead as he spoke, “Fellow Daoist would you be kind enough to release him, I believe he needs to rest a bit as his training was a bit tiring.”

The woman in question turned towards her as she sneered at Maheswara as she spoke, “Fellow Daoist!? You filth worm you are not worthy of breathing the same air such as I and now you are trying to compare me to you.”

At that everyone tensed as Ryuu could feel the everyone’s aura was starting to climb but the stopped themselves so as not to injure him accidently, as Megara spoke with a gulp, “Excuse me Senior may I be impudent enough to inquire how we should address you.”

The woman gazed at her as she spoke in rather haughty tone, “At least one of you have manners, well you may refer to me by my title as Her Highness or Your Majesty or you can simply call me Empress as my true is meant for my beloved only when he remembers me.”

Ryuu rolled his eyes at that as he snorted in his mind, ‘Can this woman can be any more vain.’

Empress looked at him with a pitying glance as she spoke, “Beloved try to protect your thoughts a bit even a deaf could hear you from thousand miles away specially when you are thinking ill of me.”

Ryuu blanched at that as he spoke with indignation, “You are reading my mind.”

Empress tilted her head as she replied to him, “Why would I not there should be no secret between us love.”

Before anyone could retort the shadow rose as it engulfed Ryuu as it vanished with him as the woman face twisted into an angry snarl as her fury shook Ayindril as everyone tackled her only for her to vanish from sigh as if she was mirage.

“Where is that woman? How did she enter here?”, Neaera could not help but question her one time close friend and sister in all but blood Veena but before they could speak a melodious voice came from behind them.

“Next time dear try not to get between me and my beloved.”, as they turned they were greeted by a horrifying sight of the Empress standing behind Shamiran with her hand coming out of Shamiran’s chest with a still beating heart held in her hand and before anyone could react she crushed it to pulp and as she removed her hand from her body Shamiran collapsed on the floor, as the woman disappeared with a giggle.

As others dashed towards her a shadow at the corner of the room spat out Ryuu who looked towards his third older sister as he gained a horrified look on her face.

Veena quickly checked her as her face turned pale, “That blasted woman did something to her, she has not only she has become unconscious but her KI is completely erratic she is not able to heal from her injuries like this everyone get out and give me some space, Nuwa, Celestia you two stay back and help me.”

The others quickly left the room giving them some space as they waited outside with baited silence which was soon broken by Menelaos who spoke in a serious tone, “Maheswara who is that woman?”

Maheswara sighed as he rubbed his forehead, ‘I am sighing a lot nowadays not to mention it seems I gained a few grey hairs’, he took a deep breath as he spoke, “A woman who claims to be Ryuu’s Dao companion from some distant previous birth and she has been following him through every reincarnation of him.”

Neaera spoke curiously at that, “So I do not see what is her problem if she is in love I do not see why you are not giving them you blessing than all this drama would not take place.”

Megara shook her head as she spoke with a sigh, “Mother it is not so simple and if I hazard a guess than Antariksh was she not the woman who defeated you all going at him at your full strength.”

Antariksh who had been silent throughout the entire ordeal gritted her teeth as she spat out reply to Megara’s inquiry, “Yes she is what are you getting at Megara.”

Megara sneered at her as she spoke, “You have become complacent and dull Antariksh could you not feel her.”

Menelaos looked at her daughter curiously as he spoke, “Feel what daughter?”

Megara took a deep breath as she spoke, “I was near that woman and I could feel it like some large ball of anger, hatred, insanity blended together how could you not feel something like that it was nauseating.”

Ryuu had his entire attention towards the door as he spoke with remorse in his voice, “It is all, my fault if I had left with her the…..”

Only to grunt in pain as he felt his older sister swat his head playfully accompanied with a half hearted glare, “Did you tell her to do all this, Ryuu?”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, “No sister I did not but still…”

Antariksh shook her head as she spoke with a smile, “Then stop blaming yourself. If you want to blame then blame us for not being strong enough, blame her for being such a deranged lunatic but never blame yourself.”

Ryuu nodded at that with a weak smile, before he turned his head as he turned towards Sylvana who had a haunted and hollow look in her eyes as she was staring into vacant space, seeing her like that Ryuu approached her as he spoke nudging him a little, “Sister are you alright?”

Sylvana seemed to be shaken from her stupor as he looked at Ryuu as if she had awaken from her dream, at first she lunged at him trying to hug him before she stopped herself as she spoke in a rather shaky tone, “Father I need a favor please promise me, promise me you will fulfill.”

Everyone was taken aback at that as Maheswara spoke with concern, “Child, please tell me is something wrong?”

Sylvana all but shouted to Maheswara her eyes were red, “FATHER PLEASE!!!! Please promise me.”

Maheswara looked at her as he spoke with a sigh, “I promise child, I promise.”

Sylvana nodded at that as she spoke with her eyes closed, “Father I want you tell him the truth, about us, the real us, about Pangu, our sins and how we all betrayed him and how I murdered him.”, she took a deep breath as she spoke, “Today was rather exciting and I feel tire I leaving.”, with that she vanished from their sight with a gust of wind.

Antariskh looked at the place where Sylvana was standing with wide eyes, as Menealoas spoke towards Megara with a stern voice, “Megara I believe you were ordered to rest so come on young lady it is time I escort you to your room.”, with that the trio left.

Antariksh looked at his father as she spoke, “Father I will go and check on Sylvana.”

Maheswara looked up at the ceiling as he thought with a wary smile on his lips, ‘How will I tell Ryuu the truth now.”, he then placed his hand on Ryuu’s shoulder as he teleported with him into a familiar garden as he spoke in a tired voice, “Ryuu before I begin I want to tell you to us you are our family, our child and we love you but after hearing all this if you hate us, if you do not want to do anything with us just tell us we will except your decision even if you want to denounce our relation we will except and I swear on the Heavens itself even if you want nothing to do I will make sure you get to be disciple of a someone who can stand equal to us no matter the cost.”

Ryuu listened to him, as his eyes open wide while a cold pit formed in his stomach out of fear at the truth that his teacher was going to say and what a truth it had been that after so such a longtime he was still reeling from the shock.

A peck on his head brought him out of his funk as he looked at a familiar blue thunderbird looking at him as she chirped in a rather haughty tone, ‘So what got the great idiot of Ayindril so dark gloomy and emoish.’, causing Ryuu’s eyebrow twitched at the insult.
