Soul Delivery (English)

Kiervant Sky Part 3

Finally, Heka decided to say what he really wanted. This time, he had to make sure that he would sacrifice himself.

“I wanted to turn back time. I want to save my parents. I will give my soul in return.” That was what Heka really wanted.

He regretted it when he received soul delivery. He was too ambitious to live with a normal sleeping time. Because of that, he had to lose his parents.

It was beyond what he expected. He had absolutely no idea that he had to sacrifice his parents. If he knew that would happen, he would never accept Soul Delivery.

Marchio laughed out loud with his will. “No one can turn back time. Remember this, time can never be returned. Bu,  I can give you the reversed time illusion. It’s the way you can spend time with your parents.”

Heka lost hope of saving his parents. He was indeed a useless child. He was just a burden. At least, there was nothing to burden them this time. They could live in peace and quiet in heaven.

“How long do you take to think? Then how can I count it? Which time, is it human time or Immortal time?” Marchio said. It seemed like he was not a person who liked rambling.

"Okay, I will accept the reversed time illusion." Heka also agreed to his offer. Even so, it was not what he really wanted. But what could he do? Marchio has said that time can't be undone at all. At least, he could use it to apologize for being a useless child.

At least, he had an opportunity to do something to break through it. Even if it was an illusion.

"Before I give you the illusion, you must do something for me."

Heka quickly replied, "What?"

“Find me 50 rabbits in lilac color!!! Don't ever fake the color!!”

From the beginning, he knew that Marchio was not a human. He knew what Marchio did to the rabbits was so cruel. He didn't dare to complain about it. “Rabbit, maybe it's his only food. But rabbits in lilac color are very hard to find. Never mind, after all, he's not human. I just find it…”

“Make me a brown candle. Use cinnamon as a coloring and mix with oriental lilies.”

For this one, it was not difficult. It was simple to do.

"Don't you dare fool me," Marchio said strictly.

So Heka really carried out his orders. Heka answered briefly. "Okay."

“After all, the plain white ceramic bowl, white cloth and blueberry. Make sure you remember everything.”

Marchio's demand was really great. He was quite curious what all about this was used for. However, it was not necessary. Because, he would see by himself for what Marchio would do.

Marchio flew a paper. It landed on Heka's hand. It was brown and drawn of several pictures that he needed.

Heka noticed the paper carefully. It was different from paper in the human realm. The paper was golden brown. It was so soft and thin like a tissue. But, it was elastic and not easily damaged.

He thought the paper would not burn, if it was hit by a fire. It was not wet when exposed to water. It was like taro leaves. For him, the paper was quite special. He will keep it well.

Marchio did not forget to give a warning heka. "Don't try to run away or trick me. If you dare to do it, you will accept the consequences for yourself."

It was like he guessed before. Marchio would not let him go alive. However he was not afraid at all. Something that he was afraid of, was losing someone again from his life. It was more than a nightmare.

"Don't ask me to sacrifice someone else. I am willing to sacrifice myself.” He had to say it. He was afraid that if he didn't say it, someone would die because of him.

"Okay," Marchio said. However, Heka couldn't believe him completely.

He wanted Marchio not just to talk, but he had to hold every word that he said. "How can I trust you if you don't take someone from my life?"

For Marchio, the words were presumptuous. It made him angry. But he could understand what Heka was afraid of.

Then, the little dragon flew towards Heka. The movement was so fast. It wrapped around Heka's neck. It made him hard to breathe.

“It is an immortal realm, not a human realm. Don't equate the Immortal realm with your human realm," Marchio said.

“Jino, come here!!!” Marchio called back to his dragon. The dragon coil loosened. Heka could breathe again. The little dragon flew back to Marchio's arms.

Heka felt that the dragon was Marchio's favorite one. He also understood what Marchio was feeling. What had just happened was enough to prove it.

When Heka made him angry, the little dragon immediately attacked Heka.

“For reversed time illusion is the illusion of reality. Everything in the illusion is real. But you must remember that it's just an illusion. If you reject the reality, you will always be trapped in illusions forever and will never come back. It means that you will disappear, both from the human realm and the Immortal realm. I can't get you out even though I've brought you." Marchio explained the reversed time Illusion in detail.

It had become Heka's decision. He just needed to live it. He didn’t need to sacrifice others just to meet his parents. As Marchio has explained, "Okay, I understand."

"No. You shouldn't get stuck in. Because you have to do something for me. It’s better if you do everything that I need first. After that, you can meet your parents."

It seemed that Marchio was afraid that if one day he couldn't get out and be trapped forever in the Reverse Time Illusion. Even Marchio seemed rude, he worried about Heka.

Maybe it was better for Heka to say yes. "Okay. Then, how can I get back to Kiervant Sky and return to the human realm?” The only thing he had to do was return to the human realm.

Because he couldn't possibly be at Kiervant Sky for a long time. Although for him, the place was comfortable.

From the back, there was something outside. It was like a wing. Marchio pulled out a fur. The fur floated towards Heka.

"Use it and keep it well," Marchio said.

"Thank you." Heka held the feather given by Marchio. If it was looked closely, the color of the fur was the same as the paper’s color. The surface was equally soft. There was only one conclusion: the paper was made of feathers.

This time, he just needed to go back to the human realm. He had to give everything what Marchio asked before. Even though, there were quiet requests, he was happy because he had the opportunity to meet his parents again. Even if it was only once, there was no way he could just waste it. He also felt that Marchio was that one who could be trust. .
