Rise of Yahunyens: Origin

Episode 22: After All, I Am A God

Yigritha had risen enough. It was morning, Malaes had been walking ahead of Griswa and Yesdar for quite a while now. It seemed like she wasn't interested in talking anything, but was just thinking about Sivera.

Griswa didn't sweat a bit, Yesdar was walking alongside him and was already bathing in sweat, thanks to the desert climate, but he was anyway used to it.

"You don't sweat? Being a God is quite advantageous I guess." Yesdar broke the silence asking Griswa.

"With this much heat? No. I hit the ground as a fireball myself and yeah, being a god might be advantageous, but everything comes with a price."

"I see, maybe something like the fate of the universe rests on your shoulders? That kind of responsibility might be the price you say?"

"Who knows? Not till we find Ehayor, whatever or whoever it is."

Malaes stopped. She turned back to the boys wiping her sweat with her right hand from her forehead.

"What happened?" Yesdar inquired as they both stopped.

"We have been walking to wherever this endless desert is taking us, but where are we going?" Malaes spoke to realize that she was too engaged with the thoughts of her father that she forgot she was walking to nowhere, blindly.

"Well, I guess we were the ones who were following you?" Yesdar's answer was quite the answer.

Malaes and Yesdar stared at each other for a while, both giving a relying look on each other.

"Don't worry, we are on the right path." Griswa confirmed and moved forward.

"Wait how do you know? Where are we going? We didn't really plan how we were gonna find this Ehayor." Malaes asked Griswa, her tone puzzled as she moved forward with him followed by Yesdar.

"Why do you think I crashed as a fireball in this desert, Yesdar?"

"Fireball? What you talking about?" Malaes puzzled again.

"Griswa crashed here as a fireball, I mean somewhere in the desert, everyone in the slave order talked about a meteor falling down, that fireball was actually him, that was his arrival on the planet, rest you know." Yesdar answered.

"So what about that?" Yesdar continued, his eyes shifted to Griswa.

"Yeah, so listen, if I think about this clearly, crashing here wasn't simply an accident, it was meant to be, maybe because of my subconscious that had recorded from Hezick that I need to find Ehayor, also resulted in me crashing in this desert only. When I was travelling dimension by dimension, to reach this planet, it was all that my subconscious did, like it followed an order by default, like it was programmed to do so."

"Ah, okay so?" Yesdar demanded his continuation.

"Yeah so it means, I sensed something, if Ehayor is something connected to us, the Skaar Gods, then it means we have the power to sense it. My subconscious acts like a separate me. But now that I am in my senses, I am still able to sense something that is leading me to the place I need to go. That's why maybe it doesn't matter if it's subconscious or not, I crashed in this desert, I could have crashed somewhere else, but I didn't. It's not a simple coincidence. Maybe it means, Ehayor is somewhere near."

"Ohhhhhh I see, okay. But what's a sub...con...scious?" Yesdar's lack of knowledge triggered the question.

Griswa silently sighed and answered with a head tilt, "Umm, you know what? Now is not the time to explain everything, just follow me, when we find Ehayor, things might start making sense."

The trio walked a bunch of kilometers, Griswa being the lead, some hours passed by. Malaes and Yesdar took breaks in between, for drinking water, it seemed like an eternity (Aeartha too big, lol).
