EXORD: ExtraOrdinary

Chapter 24: Transfer

After exerting too much energy I collapsed in a sudden and fell unconscious. I heard a faint voice calling my name but it started fading sooner, I thought it was Jessie but somehow her voice is unfamiliar.

I abruptly woke up, the first person I saw were Jessie and Phielex trying to wake me up.

"I'm glad you are now awake because...there is someone mysterious right there that does know our names and our identity. There might be a chance that you know her." Phielex said in a worry.

"I can tell that she is very suspicious!" Jessie said.

"And by the way, how did you do that?" She added.

"The what exactly?" I asked Jessie.

"You know the controlling the sky, kind of thing!" Jessie replied.

"I literally don't know but in a sudden it just pops like a balloon do." I said.

"Can we talk about it later? You all know that the mysterious lady is still there." Phielex said as he pointed at the lady standing near the lifeless body of Ivy.

"Wait! Can you help me get up?" I said and Jessie helped me up.

"And by the way, can you two also help me carry Axcel's body out this forest later? We will need to bring his body to his mother so he would be buried properly." I added.

"And what? Tell his mother that he was killed by a scary hag that controls four lion headed trees with bear claws? I think she will just suspect us that we were the ones that killed him" Jessie sarcastically said.

"We'll just talk about it later but first we should ask that lady, with caution! Phielex just to be sure be cautious" I said as I gave Phielex a cue and he nodded.

We slowly approached the lady then she looked at us with a hint of confusion. She has white hair, yellow-green eyes, and she looks so young. She wears a white hooded robe which I think only those from the past will wear it because it is not trendy in these modern times, somehow she may be a member of the church or a cult.

"Uhmmm...excuse me, are you also lost like we were in this forest?" Jessie said.

"Really Jessie?!" I gave her a disappointing look.

"What?...Is it bad to ask now?" Jessie shrugged.

"Well hello, young ones!" The lady greeted us with a smile.

"I have witnessed what exactly happened here and I am truly sorry for the ones who fell to their demise." She added.

"If may I ask, how did you know our identity? Like you said earlier, you mentioned each of our names and you know that we are an exord, of course except the other one." Phielex asked in curiosity.

"I have a name, you know?!" Jessie said as she rolled her eyes.

"One knows many things...but I admire the courage of the boy who sacrificed himself for the others but this one, she lost her way from her own path." The lady said.

"Since the boy named Axcel piqued my interest, there is still a way to bring him back since his soul haven't perished yet but of course there is a consequence to this, if you still want to bring him back of course." The lady added.

"Tell us!" I said in desperate manner.

"Let me tell you all about on how an ordinary person becomes an exord...there was a greedy guardian who seeks power and accidentally stumbled upon a stone which contains a power to drain life-force. He siphons the life of other guardians and gods that he became more powerful but then the creator couldn't stand it anymore that he punished that guardian and turned him into a tree which is now called The tree of creation. The tree creates exeorites and scatter them into your world. It is still unknown on why the exeorites only appears nearby a newborn baby and it is still not known when is the time the tree starts creating exeorites. The exeorites renders the baby's genetics causing them to develop strange powers overtime. We have been observing these strange phenomenon in your world since the past decades." The lady told us.
