Chapter 218 218: I Have A Place
"Our village," Atlas answered. He had already expected that Misella was going to recognise this place as she lived here for a long time. If he could recognise this place, it was only going to be easier for her.
"It looks just like it looked on the day when we..."
"When we ran away?" Atlas asked, completing the sentence. "It does. Not many things have changed here."
"How long has it been since I died?" Misella inquired.
"A few months... So not long."
"Is he still alive?"
"He is. I saw him not long ago," Atlas answered. "He is still drunk. He doesn\'t even know where he is. That man is still as pathetic as he was in the past. You want to meet him?"
"I better not. I don\'t even want to see his face now."
"You know, if you hate him, you can get your revenge now that you\'re capable of? He\'s the reason we all ended up in this problem in the first place. Who will pay if not him? If you want to kill him, you can go ahead."
The reason Atlas didn\'t kill the man that he hated the most at this point, it was because he believed that Misella deserved that opportunity. Both of them suffered because of the man\'s actions, but Misella suffered the most.
Misella heard Atlas suggestion, slightly taken aback. Was her brother actually suggesting that they kill someone? She knew Atlas to be someone who could never kill anyone. She didn\'t know that in the last few months Atlas was forced to do many things. He didn\'t just take one life... He took thousands of lives to get here.
If Atlas was a naive man at the start, now he was a changed man who didn\'t hesitate to kill the ones he needed to. Previously, he was stuck in the mentality of a human but now... Now he had fully embraced the mentality of a Progenitor where killing wasn\'t all that hard.
In fact, now he didn\'t even think twice if he needed to kill someone. His hand didn\'t hesitate for even a moment.
Misella shook her head. "I don\'t want to kill him. I hate him, and never want to see his face, but even I can\'t get myself to kill him."
"If that\'s what you want..." Atlas nodded. If she didn\'t want to kill him then he was fine with this decision as well. The man was going to die soon anyway, living in misery.
"Let\'s get to the Carriage and leave this place. We also need to find a place to stay. Our long journey has concluded for now."
He walked in the direction of their Carriage, still holding onto the hands of Misella.
"So, any suggestions where we should go?" he asked the people behind him.
He had travelled many places, from the Kingdom of Wolves, to the Clan of Witches... From the Castle of Vampires to the hub of Blood Council. Despite that, he had no place that he could call home.
Even as he finished his main goal, he didn\'t know where to create a home for them where he could live his last few days in peace.
"We can go to the Kingdom of Wolves. It\'s completely empty now, but it\'ll be a nice place to stay," Vor suggested. "It\'ll be a homecoming for Lancaster as well, as that place belongs to him now."
"I think we should avoid high profile places like that." Luna chimed in. "They were at the center of all the chaos last time as well. If my Brother comes, those places would definitely be the ones that he\'ll search first."
"Brother, who is that girl?" Misella asked, keeping her voice low. She knew Lilith was a witch and the two men were Werewolves, but she didn\'t know who Luna was. "Is she also a Witch? And who is his brother that we need to avoid? And why?"
"Not a Witch. She is... Ah, it\'s a little bit complicated. I guess you can say that she\'s an Alien. She is from a different world. And her brother is the Prince of that world."
"Why do we need to avoid him then?"
"Because his brother hates the Supernaturals of this world. In other words, his brother doesn\'t like me, Lilith, Vor and the others. So it\'s better if we stay away from them at least until we are ready," Atlas explained.
"I agree. It\'s better if we don\'t make it easy for them to find us. We should find a low profile place." Lilith agreed.
"Do you have any place in mind?" Atlas asked. He hoped she wasn\'t suggesting the Orphanage as that would just bring back the memories of Severis Castle for Misella. He wanted to keep Misella away from those memories as much as he could, at least until she didn\'t learn how to control her powers.
He wanted some peace, and no commotion.
"I do have a place in mind," Lilith responded. "A place which should be nice to stay."
Lilith brought a letter out of her pocket which had a small map.
As soon as Lancaster saw that letter, he remembered that it was the same letter that was given to him by Castiel. Was that really a map of a safe place?
"What place is that?" Atlas asked.
"It\'s a small town in the north. It should be a nice place to stay for now. At least for a little while. I suggest we go there." Lilith was very firm about this. She didn\'t know what Castiel wanted when he gave her this map, but she believed it was for a reason.
And now that they actually had time to go to other places, what better place than the one that Castiel wanted them to go to?
She also wanted to see just what was at that place. Why did Castiel want her to go there? And how was it possible that even she didn\'t know about that place before even though she stayed with Castiel for most of her life. The secret of that once was really intriguing for her and she wanted to find more about it!
