Chapter 83: Saying Goodbye without a Goodbye

Author: Castmere
last update Last Updated: 2022-11-10 00:00:54
I expected everyone to feel disappointed upon hearing what I really felt and thought from the start. I knew I might hurt them, and the same goes for myself, but I have to be honest with everyone at all costs because I have to straighten things up. I don't want to regret things in my current life anymore. I don't want to have any other burden before fighting an impossible battle.

I focused on informing everyone about what happened during my absence, then burst into tears, asked for forgiveness, and told them I was initially tempted to go back to the place I used to live in my previous life. I told them everything on my mind without looking at them, fearing the sight of even a slight disappointment in their reaction.

Everyone became silent for a moment as we sat in front of the table, which was stacked high with various delicacies cooked by their combined efforts—dishes I had taught them throughout our tour. The aroma of ham glazed with honey, roasted duck, steamed buns, and dumplings

    Everything went well when we set off from the Canan Village, though Blake didn't bid us farewell. It was a relief that he decided to stay in a safe village—I trusted that Jael and his family would take care of him on my behalf.We planned to sail in the ocean further north because it would be quite a risk if we sailed from the nearest shore because it's the Siren's territory. Also, not even a single one of us knew how to sail a boat, except for my basic knowledge of ship mechanisms.During our journey, we allotted some of our time to hunting practice every day. I also taught Gurion how to wield a bow and arrow, while Dillon made a small set for him similar to the design he made for me. Lowell also taught Gurion how to wield a spear since he requested it and made a small spear for him. I was so amazed at how fast he could learn to wield weapons, despite his young age.Tora also wields a knife similar to my brother and Dillon, but Dillon always left them alone for some reason during prac

  • Ari   Chapter 85: Sirens

    We were stocked on top of the tree while vigilantly watching the movements of the Sirens surrounding the area. We had to mask our presence, especially mine and Tora's, to prevent them from spotting us. In the Beastman World, Sirens were similar to the half-human, half-fish mythological creatures we called mermaids in my previous life, but their aggressive forms were quite monstrous compared to the mermaids I knew. According to the elders, their passive forms were undoubtedly the most attractive for any female. They look human with beautifully colored scales surrounding some parts of their body—scales that cover up their private body parts, creating the illusion of a piece of clothing. Their eyes resemble the colors of different types of pearls and gems. The colors of their scales were vibrant and beautiful. Their hair was long and could sometimes be mistaken for that of a female. They have buffed bodies and extremely irresistible scents, at least for females. Their passive-aggressiv

  • Ari   Chapter 86: Siren's Voices

    We were on a huge branch of a century-old tree, and we were lucky that the leaves were thick enough to hide us. I can see a few Sirens passing by around the area as if they can sense our presence but can't identify our exact location. We only sneakily checked on their movements one at a time. I wanted to check the area on my own, but the Sirens would definitely know our location once I set off to fly up because they were sensitive to air and water waves. They move faster than any regular beastman race because their bodies were built to defy the pressure underwater. Another thing we needed to consider was that they may not know how to climb a tree, but we have no assurance that they won't be able to find a way up. Dillon was trembling with anxiousness and asked, "Are we still going to cross the ocean? It would be risky for us, especially for Ari and Tora." "I don't think it's still possible. Is it safe to go back to where we came from?" my brother asked while looking at Lowell. All

    She vanished after uttering those words. I was baffled, but I unconsciously followed as I turned around, despite seeing the shocked look on Macan and my brother's faces. I ran towards the end of the huge branch, flapping my wings, and took a leap. I could hear my brother and Macan's voices calling out my name, but I still dashed toward the direction of the ocean. At a distance, I can see a flock of Sirens who suddenly stopped singing upon sensing my presence. They bowed down to me as I landed in front of them without letting go of the females whom they held captive. My tears were still drenched from crying, and my voice was trembling as I shouted at them, "I'm here! It's me w-who you were c-calling. Let them go! Let them all go!" One of the Sirens stood up and transformed into his passive form. His eyes and scales glisten like the stars and the sand on the ground. I couldn't tell the exact color of his hair and eyes due to the darkness surrounding the night. He reached out to me,

    He looked straight into my eyes as if he were frightened that I'd be gone before his sight while grabbing and twisting a part of the throne, causing it to turn around and move towards a portal at the back of the throne. "Have you forgotten this place? It's alright, my goddess. As long as you can still remember me, it doesn't matter to me," he whispered before kissing my neck while trying to remove my necklace. I pushed him back forcefully and said, "No! Don't remove it, Dylan. I didn't come here for this, and you haven't fulfilled your part yet. I told you to let go of every female you've captured." He was confused and asked, "How about those who were already abandoned by their tribe and were already living with us peacefully?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion—I thought every female they captured was forced to go with them. "So, you believed the rumors that we take away females by force? We did lure them to go with us, but we always brought them back if they didn't like to stay w

  • Ari   Chapter 89: The Stone of Oath

    [Flashback] One day, while we were playing with shells and pearls and chatting nonstop inside the secret room, we suddenly overheard his father's voice. We had no choice but to keep quiet and listen to their meeting. We were both stunned upon hearing the agenda of their meeting. It was an emergency regarding an attack, which they had been planning for a long time—his father, Iravan, the ruler of the ocean, whose ranking was just below my father, was planning an attack on him. Dylan was trembling and told me he didn't know anything defensively. He asked me to stay still until we could sneak out safely and go back to Nirvana. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to feel, but I felt that he was telling the truth. I remained silent and felt worried for my father. I felt a cold sweat while listening to their words, but Dylan hugged me and covered my ears. We were both trembling, but he tried his best to calm down. He managed to safely bring me back to Nirvana immediately after the meeting

    I explained my situation to him and the fact that it was already my third life. I did my best to let him understand my actions and reactions. Also, I wanted him to accept the fact that the Ari before him is not the same as the Ari in front of him—hence, I have no plan of breaking the oath. "That monster! It was my fault—I wasn't able to return to Nirvana after accepting your oath. Your father seemed frustrated despite trying to conceal his emotion—he forbade me from meeting you until you became an adult. There was a long war in the land of mortals; I didn't know I would suddenly hear about your death right after the war suddenly stopped after you and your father's deaths," he explained. "Sorry... I still can't recall those things. My memories as Arie are limited. Maybe it was because of the oath that I could suddenly remember you," I said. "I understand. Since your death, I never left the palace while praying for your safe return. I knew you would be reborn because the power of the

  • Ari   Chapter 91: Gurion's Mother

    We were supposed to head out the next morning, but unfortunately, we were informed that Gurion's mother had contracted some strange illness that they couldn't cure. We had no choice but to tend to her first, looking at how dire her situation was. I remained in my passive form because she might feel uncomfortable if she suddenly saw the daughter of the alpha who punished her son, leading to his untimely passing. She and her partners hadn't seen me in my passive form and without my mask on, so I thought it would work out well. Dylan's people led us to Jala's room, the birth mother of Gurion. All her spouses and a few Sirens were surrounding her. "I thought she'd been doing well already?" I asked, looking at Dylan with a confused look. "She did. We have no idea what happened now. She just recovered recently," he worriedly replied as we walked beside the bed. He suddenly looked sharply at his people, who forgot to bow their heads when we entered the room, and said, "Everyone, pay resp

    I tried not to laugh when I saw Macan's annoyed look. On the other hand, Tora and Jala were giggling while giving the babies to Dillon and Dylan. They just finished feeding my babies. They then pushed the two stunned and clueless males near me. "Let Ari see her children. Come on! Stop dazing around," Tora nagged as she pushed Dillon. "Honey," Dillon mumbled while handing over one of my lovely babies. "Hmm? She's—wait, no—it's a boy? Aw!" I choked as I coughed in shock, then crouched a little due to the pain. "What, babe? First time seeing a baby boy?" Macan teased. "Well, technically, yes," I replied embarrassedly. "Oh, right. I forgot," Macan whispered, looking away lightly. "How will we know who's their father? They looked extremely alike," I asked. "The female is my daughter...," Dylan said. "Right, and the male is my son," Dillon added. I was stunned and mumbled, "How did you know?" "My mark disappeared when she came out crying loudly across the room. She was quite energ

  • Ari   Chapter 124: Birth of Twins

    A few months later, my stomach kept growing, and everyone was mortified to see a huge stomach. I was embarrassed because female beastmen don't grow their stomachs too much like mine, so I stayed in the room behind the throne and patiently waited until I could give birth to the twins. The twins were so active inside my stomach that I sometimes couldn't hold back my pee, so I had to wear padding on my undergarments. Also, the weight of my stomach was so heavy that it was too hard to move around, let alone walk. We could see my stomach move from time to time. It was surprising at first that Tora screamed in shock. It looked amusing to me since it meant they were healthy. One day, when the autumn was almost over, I suddenly felt a series of stomach pains. Macan explained that it was because it was almost time for me to give birth. The pain was bearable at first because it was similar to the pain I had when I had my period, but it suddenly started to worsen, and I was finding it hard to

  • Ari   Chapter 123: Portal to Dylan's Palace

    I successfully opened the portal without receiving any penalty. I figured it would be like this because my power has the same attribute as the barrier, making me conclude it was created by my parents since the two of them can control lightning. "Honey! Why are you so reckless?" Dillon roared in nervousness. "Are you alright?" Macan dashed to check on my condition. "Yep! I knew it. The barrier won't retaliate against my power because I can also control lightning," I grinned. "God! Babe! You scared all of us! You should have explained to us first before doing something potentially dangerous," he scolded. "Sorry... It's because you won't allow me even if I explain it, since I wasn't sure of it either. It's better to show it straight in front of everyone. First of all, Mother said I could use it to open a portal everywhere in the mortal land where my people are located. Gurion is one of us, so it's easier to open a portal since he lives in the palace," I explained. "It's still risky,

    After dinner was served in my room, the servants also gave me a box containing a necklace. They said it was from my mom."But do I still need this even if I'm already pregnant?" I asked curiously."Yes, Your Highness. It's not only a suppressant of heat and scent. It can help you use the ring without using your power. The necklace will also bring you back here if you suddenly have a sudden fluctuation of power," the servant explained."I see. It would be quite convenient. Send my gratitude to my mother. I couldn't go to her right now because I'm feeling under the weather, but I'll meet her tomorrow before we all leave," I instructed."Yes, Your Highness," she answered before she left my room.******************************The next morning, we had breakfast with my parents for the last time. We decided to go back after the meal. They were both emotional, but they didn't change their minds despite the heartbreaking goodbye."Are you sure about this?" my mother asked."Yes, Mom," I repli

    All the males came back later than we'd anticipated. They were all extremely intoxicated, except my brother. "Oh my god! What the hell happened to all of you?" I gasped in shock. "Dear... You stink! Don't go near Nita. You'll hurt her nose," Tora scolded my brother as she pushed him away. "Aww! Do I?" he asked, sniffing himself. "Yes, Brother. What kind of hazing did you all go through?" I blurted while laughing at all my unconscious spouses lying on the floor. The servants had a lot of trouble bringing them all back to my room. "Hazing? What is that?" my brother asked. "Never mind. Go take a shower and bring Tora and Nita into your room. It reeks of alcohol in my room. I'll handle these punks," I instructed. "Will you be alright, Ari?" Tora asked worriedly. "Yes. Come on! Make haste. Nita has a sensitive nose; she'd get suffocated with this kind of strong scent," I insisted as I looked at Nita's disgusted reaction. "But Ar—" she mumbled as I pushed them out of my room. "Hur

    The next morning, I decided to ask my parents for a favor. "Mother, Father, I want to tell you something in private," I said after I finished eating breakfast. "I see. Let's wait for everyone to finish their meal. I'll have the servants and guards move out of the room," my mother replied, smiling while holding my hand for reassurance. "Thanks, Mother." I smiled as I lifted her hand and placed it on my face, rubbing my cheek against her palm. After everyone had finished eating, my father gave Nita back to my brother, and I told everyone, "Please go ahead without me. I want to have a conversation with my parents." They all nodded in agreement and did what was told to them. After everyone left the room, my mother started to ask worriedly, "Is there something wrong, my dear?" "Mother, Father, may I live in the mortal land as a regular female beastman?" I asked. Their faces darkened with sadness. "You don't want to be with us?" my mother asked while weeping. "I... I'm sorry, Mothe

    The other Immortals performed their skills to entertain the guests in between meals as part of the celebration. It was fun since Nirvana rarely held a feast, but it was also exhausting because it lasted until dinner time. "Son, I've prepared a room for your family near Arie's room. I've also asked the servants to prepare the bath and new sets of clothing to change. Go ahead and have your wife and daughter take an early rest. I bet they're tired from the whole day of celebration," my father said to my brother. "Thank you, Father," my brother replied while hugging him briefly before following his instruction. "Mother, Father, may we go ahead to my room? I feel quite exhausted and sleepy," I asked. "Sure, my dearest! Take an early rest. The servants have already prepared your baths. But will your spouses be staying in your room? Would you like me to have them bring some extra blankets and pillows?" my mother asked. "Yes, please, Mother. Thank you and goodnight!" I replied in gratitud

    The news about my pregnancy made my mood lighter and distracted me for a bit. It was nice seeing the people dearest to me in times of grief. I couldn't utter a single word about what happened during the battle. I couldn't bring up the topic because it hurts my heart to think about the sacrifice of my sister. Luckily, there was other news that could keep them busy for a while. "Wait... Who's this little cutie?" I asked as I crawled near my brother to see closer. Her brown eyes and hair were similar to my brother's. "She's Nita; she hatched a few days ago." Tora grinned. "Aw! I want a mini version of Tora, but she's cute. She looked exactly like Brother Orson when he was small," I mumbled. "Right?! She's so adorable!" Tora beamed as she hugged me tightly. "Don't put your weight on Ahri," Macan warned as he pulled Tora away. "You're so stingy, brother! Hmph!" Tora complained. I chuckled at her cute reaction. Dillon sat beside me, stroking my hair with a relieved expression. "Hone

    I was relieved to meet the Supreme God in my dream. I felt like my chest became lighter, though I'm still grieving. I accepted and faced reality faster with his help. "My dear, welcome back! How was your talk with Father?" my mother asked in a calm and warm tone. "He should have let her rest first before summoning her," my father sighed in a low voice. "You're right, but I believe He's just worried about her. She's His beloved granddaughter after all," she replied with a saddened tone despite her smile. "My dear, are you still tired? Are you hungry? Would you like some water?" Dylan asked with worry. "I'm well rested, and I don't feel hungry as of the moment." I chuckled and smiled miserably with teary eyes. "My dear..." he mumbled in worry. "I'm all right because she'll be alright somewhere. I just need a little more time," I responded with tears in my eyes. My parents also cried and hugged me, trying to console me without uttering a word. We were all equally hurt since we lov
