Alchemy Of Abyss

Chapter Sixteen~6

Everything around them was changing at a breakneck pace. They didn't even get a chance to blink. The following memories were only about Kiya's intimate relationship with the pharaoh, and they showed how their relationship developed over the course of twelve seasons. It displays their happy, passionate memories together.

It darkened again and remained that way for a few moments; Donggun sensed something was changing, the pectoral glowed one last time, and a soft female humming voice filled the room.

The darkness gradually faded, revealing Kiya's body on a large bed, exhausted, with blood on the bed sheets. She had a newborn baby girl in her arms. Kiya slowly moved her hand above the baby's black hair.

Nebuaui entered the room and squatted in front of Kiya's bed, holding her hand. She smiled at him and took the pectoral, which she placed on the baby's cloth. "Promise me you'll keep her safe," Kiya said, clutching Nebuaui's hand.

"I promise."

"Don't reveal her true identity," Kiya said, her voice shaking.

"I promise," Nebuaui said as he kissed her hand. "You don't have to do this; I will protect you."

"No... I can't let them hurt her," Kiya said, looking at the child. "Keep Meritamun safe by your side, and never reveal the truth to her," Kiya said as she kissed the baby's forehead. She inhaled deeply and tried to muffle her groans.

"I beg you, please let me save you," Nebuaui said, tears streaming down his face. "There is a chance I can save you both, Kiya."

"They knew about me, so they sent those two men to kill me, and they're going to get my child." Kiya took a deep breath and continued. "I don't have much time, Nebuaui, please do it right away."

"But..." Nebuaui said yet cut off when Kiya grabbed his hands and tugged them toward her. He approached her, and she held his face and whispered something into his ear. His tears had dried up and his eyes had widened. "what!"

"I had a vision...and I knew from the beginning," Kiya said, her tired eyes welling up with tears. "I've been living in fear since this vision! I cannot allow them to harm my child."

"Was that the reason you came to me?" Nebuaui spoke in hushed tones.

"It was destined to happen this way," she murmured, "protect her."

"How? Are you aware of what you've said to me? How?!" Nebuaui whispered again, looking deeply into her tearing eyes, and wiping away her tears. "How does it exist at all? How can it be real?"

"I can't believe it either," Kiya said, smiling fondly at her beautiful newborn daughter. "I'm running out of time, so please hurry."

Nebuaui moved his head and kissed her hand, tears streaming down their tightly clasped hands, he looked at her again, then let go of her hand and unlocked the necklace he was wearing. He placed the necklace on the bed before grabbing her face between his hands and staring into her eyes. "I will always love you," Nebuaui said, kissing her on the cheek. For a few seconds, he rested his head on top of hers, both breathing heavily.

He replaced the necklace on the baby's cloth, next to the pectoral. He raised his hands while whispering a spell. The necklace glowed bright green in sync with the pectoral's magenta and gold glow.

Cooper's red-golden wisps began to emerge from Kiya's body and merged with bright green wisps emerging from Nebuaui's hands, the two wisps completely merging and covering the baby's entire body. When the wisps began to penetrate her body, the baby began to cry.

Addaya moved closer to Nebuaui to hear what he was saying, and he exclaimed when he noticed what spell Nebuaui was casting.

The glow became stronger with the baby's high cries, Kiya was breathing hard with every wisp coming out of her frail form, and Nebuaui continued casting the spell with his eyes fixed on Kiya and his cheeks completely wet from his heavy tears. Nebuaui said the final word, and Kiya took her final breath before her soul left her forever.

He sobbed loudly, hugging her motionless figure tightly and burying his head in her neck, as their image faded away and the place returned to its original shiny golden color. Addaya looked at his hand to find the pectoral disappeared.
