Chapter 29: Cheater
Chapter 29: Cheater
"You don't reminisce the destination but the journey itself"
------------------
"Since you killed her I got freed from her spell now. Thank you", she thanked him with tears in her eyes.
"It's okay. I wish you find him soon and have a good afterlife", Severus blessed her.
"Before I leave, as a token of remembrance and to show my gratitude, I Shena bless you with luck. My blessings shall remain with you even after I reincarnate or disappears from this world", and with that, she disappeared.
Swish-swoooosh
The winds howled and swayed leaving no traces of her. The old barren tree was now turned into a full bloom tree with numerous leaves swaying with the wind. It was a beautiful tree.
[Such messed up mortals. That is the reason I don't like them] Noworry commented.
"Sigh, mortals are truly messed up. They mess their own life", Severus too sang the same tune.
Severus was exhausted but there were still some questions that need to be answered so he spoke, "Tell noworry, Why did Jane become an evil spirit and why did she want to kill me? It's not like I was the one who was behind her misfortune, so why me?"
[Even I don't know. I guess since you are special and are blessed by god. According to my predictions, she wanted to kill you so that she can revive her dead lover Gye. She must have performed taboo necromancy for the same thus resulting in an evil spirit]
Severus got goosebumps.
"Yeah"
[You were a lucky lad. At the very least you got that book]
Severus hummed.
Noworry hummed too.
Noworry was quiet and Severus was walking ahead when suddenly Noworry slapped Severus through his wings.
"What do you think you are doing Noworry?", Severus asked in annoyance.
[You didn't tell me how did you perform that spell? And what about that book? Who gave you that book and when?]
This was something that was bugging him since Severus performed those spells while killing jane.
In full honesty, Nowory was ready to fight with all his powers against Jane but he was too shocked to see Severus performing that spell. Severus stroked his messy hears backward which were covering his handsome forehead and sweat dripped from it. Needless to say, he was exhausted but his exhaustion added another charm to his godly figure. His already fair face was now covered with a light sheen of sweat. A heavenly radiance can be seen illuminating from him. When the sun rays fell on his face his dark midnight black hairs which were a contrast to his fair skin were shining in full luster.
It was a scene that one wishes to capture. With such beauty and pallor which was on full display, it was a shame that there was no audience to cherish this beauty. Noworry was awestruck too when he saw Severus. To be honest this was a normal scene. A sweaty boy standing under the blazing sun, but it wasn't the case for Severus. At this moment he totally looked otherworldly, someone who is far from the reach of any mortal and is too pure to be categorized with gods. It was as if he was an individual entity.
[Melanie is a true idiot. She is the living example to testify the saying, Women in love are no better than fools who think of themselves as a scholar] noworry spoke without thinking and forgetting about the book, which was bugging him the entire time.
Severus' spine stiffened. Melanie, this name felt foreign to him. After the reincarnation, Severus had too many twists in his life. Fate also brought him again in contact with his old acquaintance but everything changed. Time couldn't be turned and deeds can't be undone.
Severus had his motive clear that sinners shall be punished, and revenge would be taken. 10 times fold. Severus earlier expression changed. There was no smile on his face and with an even tone he spoke, "Yeah, foolishness has no cure and somehow my dear Melanie has caught this disease too"
Noworry [.....]
Noworry was truly speechless. Did Severus lose some brain cells or what? My dear Melanie, Ewwwwwww it was so cringy. Noworry nearly puked in disgust.
"What's with your expression Noworry?", Severus asked in confusion.
[Do you even know what you just said? My dear Melanie, ewwwww so cringy!] noworry reprimanded him.
Severus"...."
Okay, fine. He drooped his hands in defeat. The noworry sense of talking and understanding was something which Severus still hasn't figured out.
Severus didn't stop and walked straight. It was a long journey and boring too which was too quiet, so Severus broke the silence.
"Noworry, you remember the book?"
Noworry [...]
Damit!!! How could I forget about this? Traps!!! Beauty Traps!!!!!!!
[Cough...No I didn't forget. I was just testing you whether you are honest with me or not. It's good that you took the initiative to tell by yourself otherwise I would have flown away to a very far land] Noworry said with a straight face.
Severus"....."
Was it too shameful to admit it that Noworry the heavenly pet of hades can forget things?
Severus was aware that noworry was a narcissist and heavily condescend in nature so Severus dared not stroke his fur. With a nod he continued," Yep, yep I Severus as a loyal master....oh...sorry..sorry... a loyal friend of you that won't betray you even if all the rivers dry up or even if the sky falls or the earth shatters. I swear my faithfulness and fidelity for you and promise to never even dare to dream about betraying you."
Severus spoke a very long speech while swearing his loyalty. It was an utterly embarrassing thing for him to rant so much for a bird nonetheless, he did it. After all noworry wasn't a regular bird instead was a heavenly bird. A little flattering doesn't harm. Does it?
As expected, noworry was elated. He felt a sense of accomplishment when he heard a long speech. His expressions were so smug as if he was the heavenly king of birds.
[I am impressed. Since when did you get a glib tongue. Looks like you are improving. That day is not far when your glory will be sung in all corners of the world and this mortal world will hold me in high regard as the Sensai bird of yours.]
So it was all about you? Severus thought inside his hed.
"Thanks. I am still far from it. Yeah, do you remember the monk who conned us?"
When Severus mentioned the monk, Noworry instantly made face. What a disgrace!!!!!!!!!
[Do you mean that cheater?]
Severus"....."
