Chains of Hestium

Chapter 7: A Newborn Hope

Lyra's POV

Bubbles Of Memories

"Lyra sweetie~ you're so cute! I wonder what will it be if you grew up?~"

'huh... What...? Am I.. Dreaming?, why is my mother... Carrying me...'
.
.
.
.
.
"Happy birthday! You're finally 1 year old, Sweetie!"

'1 year.. Old...? What is happening... Why is my memories showing to me today...?'
.
.
.
.
.
"You're such a cute child... Something in you was bright... You're my chosen one... I am expecting you to grow healthy and strong... Let me give you my blessings..."

In the midst of night, the Goddess Elysara placed her hand on my forehead.

'Goddess... Elysara... Is this just a dream of my memories when I was still an infant...?'
.

"Happy birthday! You're finally 5 years old, sweetie!"

"Our daughter is growing really well, huh?"

"Mom..? Dad..?"

My mother caressed my cheeks as she lower herself down to match my height.

"Grow healthy and strong, okay? Promise me and your dad that you'll grow into a fine woman..."

"O.. Kay..."

.....

I finally woke up from my deep sleep and slowly, I opened my eyes. As I did, I feel a surge of strong power within me, I feel the holy energy circulates throughout my body, and strangely enough, it blends in well with my demonic powers as well. I looked up, and see that my halo is fully lit up.

"Thank you, for your blessing, Goddess Elysara... I'm going to end Lyreia, once and for all."

As I said my prayers for the deceased god, Elysara, I exit the pond and finally I'm back out to hunt Lyreia. I stroll the land of Hestium, I feel the holy energy everywhere here. As I'm getting impatient, I flew upwards and fly towards the direction where the holy energy is stronger.

I'm finally here, where Lyreia resides.

"We finally met each other... Face to face, Lyreia."

I looked at her with my eyes full of anger but I still remain calm, it's not like where I feel all hatred, I now feel a new emotion, Calm. Maybe it's because of the new power I received, the power of Divine.

Lyreia looked at me with a eyes of obsession. I didn't expect her to look so elegant, but it's a shame that she has a twisted nature.

"Hehe... I've been waiting for you... Lyra."

Suddenly chains wrapped around me, it's so sudden that I didn't have the time to react, even though I'm using all of my power to break the chains that binds me, I couldn't escape, it's like the chains are suppressing my powers.

"No point in struggling, Lyra. These chains weakens your power overtime... You won't be able to escape... You're... Doomed to die and be reincarnated to be one of my angels, a royal angel that will obey me no matter what! HAHAHAHA"

She laughs like a mad psycho. Her elegant look is most likely a cover in a book, and her nature is the content of the book.

"What's the matter, Lyra? Cat got your tongue? It's pointless to struggle!"

What a Twisted Goddess.

"Begone, Twisted One, for a malevolent goddess thou art, destined to meet thy demise by mine own hand."

I chanted some words and when I did, I began glowing in a golden color. The chains around me broke and Lyreia was taken aback.

"... Binding Curse, Chains of Doom"
