The nature of the shrine was despondent. Leon looked at Erachna who just revealed her past- her heart was hefty, and feelings drowsy.
Inasha was anguished about how circumstances rolled over.
"Is leaving you alone really necessary"
She asked
"No need of formalities My dear" Erachna replied with a warm smile "I know you have been pleading for this freedom… too long now isn't it? I have lived enough, maybe now I am ready to meet him"
A sudden paise
"Please take care of my daughter, Leon" she giggled "and it's okay if you marry her someday"
"She will be under my care" he bowed "but about the later part- I already have someone I truly love"
"How unfortunate" she laughed
Inasha who was alienated and excited at the same time, roared back to her mother.
A warm hug…
Hug that consolidated many griefs…
The duo teared until the ground drenched wet.
"I have always loved you, Inasha"
"I know, mother"
"And to let you know, even your first cry made the man laugh"
"Did he love me too?"
"Even though he never saw you, he loved you with his whole heart" Erachna paused "maybe more than me"
"That's absurd" they laughed at the wild fetched joke.
The moment glorified in their honour and the time to leave journeyed.
Inasha turned back for one final glimpse, waving off her mother a final goodbye. She could see her tears weathering off her skin- but the choices were limited- that's how life is.
Finally the marooned isolation will ascend to the heads, in hopes for new life.
Erachna saw her daughter fading off her sight. She could feel her body disintegrating, being called above Ascensions. And in that spare moment she heard Adam
"I was waiting" he whispered in her ear
"Glad you came" she answered to her love "will we become one forever?"
"Forever, my love" he smiled "ready to find each other again in our next life"
Erachna didn't reply as they knew the answer. Their smiles glinted conscience as they faded off with glimmering particles.

"Sprouting goddess" Leon was disgusted with the adverb.
Book: I don't need your reaction. Just follow the instructions, Master.
Another disgusting comprehension…
Leon was slightly hesitant at the hush. Inasha wasn't ready to speak yet and Leon had nothing to ask.
But the cards decked to his favour.
Inasha leaped around for the butterfly
"Oh, a four wing" she jumped
"That's a butterfly" Leon acknowledged her
"Buttfly" she stuttered
"Butter…fly" he elaborated "have you seen it before"
"One such buttfly once came to mother's shrine" she exclaimed as a thorn rose steamed through her skin. The stem extracted the fragrance and colour from the insect.
"Is that your Path" Leon was delighted by the uniqueness
"Yes, The Paths of Thorned Stems" she was glad to share it with a friend "it even lets me absorb characters borned through mother nature"
"So, what do you know about the outside world?" Leon got a topic to extend
"Basic stuff my mother illuminated for me" she replied "this big guy is called a tree, the little green babies are leaves. That little flower is Jasmine, and the stem is the guarding dog that holds it upright"
"Oh what more" Leon sensed the interest
"Hmmm…" she thought "the thing above, that has a tricky name"
"Dry" she glided
"Sky" Leon laughed hard "Dry, how does that even make sense"
"It's easy for you to laugh at" she gloomed her face like a balloon.
Leon noticed the shame, so he fell down himself. Inasha laughed at the payback… glad Leon felt the shame too.
"That was kinda cringe" The Revenant thought to himself.
The vegetation looped inside, forming a dense long canopy way out.
"So, where are you from?" Inasha asked
"Initially… from Light of Canals"
"Initially?"
"Now it has turned into ruins. Destroyed from the fate of Ascension" he looked at the vibrant sky "but the Imperial Town is great too"
"Does it have a market?" Inasha asked with gli
"Oh, so you know about the market. Yes, it has"
"Then I'm excited about venturing the town"
"That's great" Leon looked at her innocence. It would be harder for the girl to sustain herself in the cruel world, but there will be a lot to learn as well.
She had the innocence of a little child…
Curiosity governed her, camouflaged as a growing body…
The time was sleek, and thus it drafted a different design.
Leon felt a tremor, a glowing orb shining through the grove.
"That's the Apostle summon" Leon shouted
"Apostle summon?" Inasha was confused
She glided back to her memories
"Is your Apostle in danger"
"That's what we need to figure out" he clenched the orb
A coral energy surged at the sight. Dark red bands and whips summoned around. Leon and Inasha were transfiguring to the summoning location. A loud bang echoed around as the teleportation was successful.
Burned soil… burned trees… burned people…
The fire wasn't taking over, land was merely left for its significance. Leon traced the sighting of the house sequence. The place was "Alponium end", the distinct end he was standing on.
He rushed looking for the house, Inasha understood what was happening as she followed her.
According to the sequence house follows, today it was supposed to be on Alponium end. The smoke declared the house was banished. So he hoped for the safety of his family.
He leaped for the relevance as the trees cleared out of the sight,
Crucible of houses were dispersed everywhere…
Fire was amazed by the fuel it received…
And among those flames he saw Mrs.Kaelen, motionless…
He extinguished the flames with a gush of wind…
"Mother, are you okay" he cried
A long chromium stake had already inflated her liver. The bleeding wouldn't stop…
Her eyes barely opened to see her son one last time "I leave everything to you, my son… Save them… Save your family"
And he could feel her heart stop…
The beats weren't echoing anymore…
In that moment Leon was entangled by the same devilish energy. His pupils weren't visible as his eyes turned white. The dark green bands, nearly blackened, emitted out in the form of astonishing energy.
And he roared… a declaration of his arrival and pain…
A roar that withered the enemy and delighted the foes…
But the man wasn't Leon anymore, he was becoming a monster feeding on vengeance…
