May Soul Dissonance Bow Before Me

Chapter 78

Grigori sat down with TCF!Eruhaben and TBOAH!Eruhaben. She looked between the two of them and then smiled gently.
"There's something you're curious about?" Grigori gently asked TBOAH!Eruhaben.
TBOAH!Eruhaben shuffled in his seat and then looked at TCF!Eruhaben.

"I wanted to know... why you chose to extend your life..." TBOAH!Eruhaben asked tentatively. He had been thinking continuously about all the records he'd seen since appearing in the Palantír Hall of the Goddess's domain.
"Ahhh... that... well... it was my children." TCF!Eruhaben replied with a soft and tender tone after some contemplation.

"Should I show you that scene?" Grigori asked after sensing that TBOAH!Eruhaben still felt unsatisfied with TCF!Eruhaben's answer. They both looked up at the Goddess surprised expressions soon shifting to relief.
"Yes, please Grigori-nim."
"That would be better!"
The two Golden Ancient Dragons readily agreed.

Grigori nodded and then gestured with hands creating an orb with her mana, the crimson cloud of magic soon turned into a glass sphere the size of the common communication device that were used in their world. It soon projected an image, however a different voice narrated the commentary - it was Grigori's voice, but it sounded different, younger, softer and somehow even gentler.

The two dragons however did not have time to question it, because the record soon began on the miniature Palantír that was held between the Goddess's hands. Grigori sat holding the orb with her eyes closed and very docile and peaceful expression upon her face.

Cale heard Eruhaben's voice at that moment.
"It feels like I haven't seen you in a long time, you little punk."
"It does seem that way, Eruhaben-nim."
"But this is quite surprising. I'm not used to you saying that you are going to sit out, you unlucky bastard."

TBOAH!Eruhaben frowned and looked at TCF!Eruhaben, who nodded and spoke up to explain.
"This was after Cale captured the White Star. However two stone statues had arrived in Puzzle City during the final battle. This was before the Sealed God's Temple appeared in Puzzle City. The Guardian of the Temple was that thing there... it's called the Lion Dragon. We had to kill it, and that was the pre-requisite for summoning the Sealed God's Temple." TCF!Eruhaben explained. TBOAH!Eruhaben nodded and then they both returned their gazes to the miniature Palantír in the hands of the Goddess as she continued the record.

The Cale that Eruhaben knew would not sit out of a battle so easily. Cale had continued to participate in battles until now, despite his allies telling him to sit out, and put his life in quite the danger over and over. That was why Eruhaben held his thoughts to himself, thinking that Cale might be injured internally despite not looking injured on the outside, or extremely fatigued after the battle.

"Thankfully that was not the case, Cale just needed to do something else during that time..."
"I see..." TBOAH!Eruhaben mumbled, he tried to resist revealing how sceptical he felt at hearing his counterpart's explanation. There were still a lot of things he did not know, but he could grasp the main points and that was enough to give him a basic understanding of the situation. The Palantír continued.

Cale nonchalantly replied back.

"I finally think that my life is a bit precious."
Both Eruhaben and Alberu flinched for a moment.

TBOAH!Eruhaben blinked and felt his skin prickle. He turned toward his somber counterpart and noticed the small sad smile that touched TCF!Eruhaben's lips.
"This is the final battle... right? So did he... did he not understand the value of his life?" TBOAH!Eruhaben questioned, his voice shaking at the implications.
"This unlucky punk... has lived an exceptionally difficult life... there are still things that even I do not know about his life. Especially what the kind of life he'd lived before coming to our world was like..."
