Kiada, Blood Servant System Reborn - Chapter 115
Flashes and then blinks, and slowly the images of my lives started to slow down, giving me a brief glimpse into my past lives. The trials, the fights, the tears, and all the love that I shared with Lesha and these other seven girls.
Eight… there were more that I needed to find. Their faces, names, and memories, even elude me now, but I would uncover them.
For now, I would have to be happy with getting this knowledge of lifetimes spent with the women that I loved like sisters. I was also the knowledge that I had gained with Lesha at my side.
I didn’t know why I was here or who was really yet, but I felt like I was getting closer. It was almost like I could touch them, but I think finding the other girls would give the rest of what I needed to know.
The memories of Lesha and the girls became a comfort for me as I floated in the nothingness. This time was different, I didn’t get to watch, it was like I had been blocked from my own body, but they’re probably was a reason for it.
I didn’t like all these games that Lishtani and Drania said they had to play, but I had to trust them. Even though they did some shady things, I still felt like they had my best interest in mind, and I would have to live with that for now.
I could feel the pull now. Whatever she had done, it was over and I was about to wake up
I could smell the salty breeze blowing through the air, and sand under my body. I awoke with my head in a lap, and the feeling of the sun coming down on me, slowly changing my body.
I opened my eyes to the most beautiful face in all the worlds that were smiling down at me.
“Good morning sleepyhead,” Lesha said as she leaned down awkwardly to kiss me.
I rolled over and turned to kiss her, but then stopped when I saw the boat, or what was left of it. The damage wasn’t the strange part, it was the ten to fifteen wooden legs that stood in the ground, holding the ship in the air.
“Did I do this?” I asked out loud in amazement.
“Lishtani did,” Lesha said flatly, and I turned to her.
“What? Did she say something?” I asked, wondering just what that woman did with my body.
“We all got a firm talking to, ALL of us, even Captain Nobby, who is a part of the Guild now, and all the members of this ship. She was quite busy, and she was raging about not being close enough to the Guild Hall to use the System. She can be quite persuasive, and it was a bit scary being it was you saying all these things,” Lesha told me.
“Oh? I have more Guild Members?” I asked while surprised while Taking Lesha in my arms.
I was surprised that there weren’t any other people around on the beach, but maybe they were up in the spider-legged boat.
“Yes, some are in the boat and some are hunting while others are exploring. Don’t be surprised if the men are all scared of you though. She was not gentle when she branded them the Guild Crests, so they might be a bit wary of you,” Lesha said as I pulled away from her.
“Where are Alana, Mei, and Braum? I would like to go and see them, but first, I want you to look into my eyes. Find that spark and look deep inside of it,” I explained to her.
This was how it was done, well one of the ways, and since the kiss hadn’t worked… Lesha stumbled back and put one hand on the side of her head. I stepped forward, but Lesha put a hand out for me to wait as she took everything in, shaking her head back and forth.
Suddenly, she looked at me and smiled with tears pouring down her face. What was wrong? I was about to ask, but Lesha squealed, and then tackled me to the ground.
“BABY!”
I had the wind knocked out of me as Lesha rained kisses down on my face. When I caught my breath, I pulled her into a deep kiss and closed my eyes.
This was a reflection of many lives lived in the past, but none of them mattered, there was only here and now. The press of her soft lips on mine and even the salty taste of her tears were all magical things that made my heart beat faster and faster.
She was the one person that somewhere in the past I told that I would always be with because I loved no other. That was a truth that was pulled with me along every life, and now we are here.
Rolling in the sand and getting it in every crack, and I had to push her away from me. I helped her up and she hugged me again and rested her head on my chest.
“Mei and Gloria are exploring, Braum and the boys are out trying to catch up on some food. Alana is back up in the ship with Candi and Trinity who are attempting to make food, but now that I have their memories back I can see that I might even be edible if Candi makes it!” Lesha said, holding me close.
“Let’s go up and see Alana, I want to see how her new powers are doing. Also, do you have any idea where we land on the coast? I would like to get a better idea of just how long it is going to take up to get back,” I questioned Lesha, but then she stopped.
“We aren’t on the coast, in fact, I don’t know where we are other than in the middle of the ocean on a deserted island. Mei and Gloria are out scouting, but this is definitely an island in the middle of the ocean,” Lesha said with a weak smile.
This was just great.
