Out Of Touch, Out Of Time [RAY X READER]

83~ Out Of Touch

Flashback From The Seven Walls, when the promise was being forged. (Read back on chapter 74 if confused)

"Now, what sort of promise would you like to form?" {{}} asked.

"I want two things...one, is for all the children in the farms to be set free to go to the human world. And two, I want to make it impossible for anyone to travel between the two worlds" Y/n stated. "Hmm...I can grant that wish but...I desire a reward from you in return" {{}} said. "A reward..." y/n asked, furrowing her eyebrows. "Yes...something important as a reward,..ambition,desire, I really do prefer to take the persons most loved thing...do you still want to make the promise after knowing this?" {{}} explained. Y/n looked at {{}} and nodded. "I shall grant your wishes...But I want two special rewards from you since you want two things from me...and they are...your memories"

"My...memories?" Y/n asked, trembling at the thought. {{}} nodded. "Every moment you've lived from your first steps to the last time you'll smile at your family. Everything. You won't even remember your own name when you get to the human world. You'll still remember how to walk and talk and read of course. I'm not that cruel" {{}} chuckled.

Y/n opened the palms of her hands and looked down at them, lost in her own thoughts for a few moments, taking a deep breath. "Take them. Knowing in this moment my family will all make it to the human world is enough to persuade me. What's the second reward?"

{{}} chuckled once more, clapping his scaly claw like hands together. "I am ever so surprised you agreed so quickly! Anyone else would have needed more time to think...the second reward is just as valuable as the first...I want to keep the memories... of the one who cherishes you the most, 81149. That boys memories are like precious diamonds. They are deeply treasured by him, therefore they are of great value to me" {{}} said, placing his hand over his heart.

"Wait...so that means Ray won't...remember me at all? Not anything? Not even my voice or just a glimpse of my face?" Y/ns heart began to break. "Nothing" {{}} said bluntly.

"For only a shadow in the back of his memory you will become. Everyone else will still remember you of course...but the constant torment of someone he's long forgotten could haunt him forever. And all of your memories will become a distant dream you once had...occurring every few nights...the same faceless people...driving you insane of who the mysterious characters could be...so in saying all this will you still agree to forge this promise?" {{}} asked.

Y/n hesitated for a few seconds before nodding with a sad smile. "If getting to the human world, saving my family and friends...and making everyones dreams reality means sacrificing mine and Rays memories then...so be it" y/n said, pulling her hand forward to shake with {{}}. "Hm! How brave...I want to ask you a little question...you are a smart girl y/n...how about we turn this promise into a game too? I do love them, you know" {{}} smiled childishly. "A game?" Y/n tilted her head in confusion. "Well yes! How about this...I'll give your family and friends around two years from now to find you. If they don't find you...I will send you back here and you will live within the seven walls forever, becoming one with it!" "...and if they do?" Y/n asked with a nervous sweat. "Then I'll restore yours and Rays memories permanently" {{}} said. "How would that work? When they find me they'll-" "If they find you" {{}} interrupted. "If...they find me...the second I see them I'll just remember everything?" Asked y/n. "Hmm...that's for me to know and for you to potentially find out! I will leave some clues but I won't interfere and I won't to make it easy for them to find you. You'll be out of their touch for sure" {{}} giggled.

Y/n nodded once again. "So...it's a deal?" The girl asked. "Not quite yet...to complete the promise you must pick a place that is very dear to you. After your friends and family have entered their portal to the human world, go to that place and call my name, then we can forge it" {{}} explained. "Okay...I think I know the place I want to pick. Thank you, {{}}" smiled y/n. "See you soon y/n"
