Leyland Adventures

Planning A Royal Death

Leyland Adventures Chapter Seven: Part Three

The amount of diverse options to choose from allowed for anyone to find a swimsuit that reflected them perfectly.

"How about that one?" Marissa pointed towards a pink one piece bathing suit, the colorful design of the flowers on it gave it more charm than anything.

Without hesitation, Aradressa tried the swimsuit on in the nearby changing room near the register. It was a flawless fit, nothing too revealing for her taste. With that, the swimsuit was then paid for.

"Anywhere else you would like to go, Aradressa?"

"There isn't a specific location in my mind, mother."

"Well, Aradressa, do you remember Euphromight's Amusement Park: Birthplace of Fun?"

"Yes, you would take me there when I was little."

"Remember Madam Grazel?"

"Yes."

"I need you and Tysashi to go to the fair tomorrow after you visit the beach and speak to her about your enemy, she has a better prediction ability than I do. After that you too can spend the rest of the day together. Don't tell Tysashi, I don't want him worrying."

"I won't, mother."

"Let's go search for that necklace and other armor. We have the entire day to search for powerful objects, I don't have anything else planned."

"What about our greenhouse?"

"I'll communicate with Alfred and request him to take our items home." Marissa then used her psychic abilities to transfer a line of communication with Alfred, who was also a psychic fairy. Within minutes, Alfred would arrive. The two sat on a nearby bench as others walked past them. Various smells entered their noses as a conversation about Tysashi began to brew.

"Mother, I see you've gotten more used to Tysashi lately."

"You are correct, I have eased my strictness, however I cannot put my full trust within him."

"Why not?"

"Aradressa, trust is like walking on thin piece of rope over a trench with the person you trust holding the rope steady. That person could release that rope at any time." Her eyes locked with hers, staring at nothing else.

"I know you have trust issues, but I know Tysashi means good."

"Sweetheart, I know."

"Then why do you not fully trust him?"

"I'm not ready to tell you. Just know I'm getting older. I don't have eternal youth like you. I can die by age, you can't."

"What happens if...I die?"

"Your enemy will conquer Leyland, overthrow other regions, and probably become ruler of our solar system. You're the only one powerful enough to survive her attacks. Without you, Aradressa, Leyland will fall."

Aradressa wasn't incredibly powerful for no reason, she was blessed with both a gift and a curse. She was a goddess, someone capable of destroying the galaxy that Leyland is within. Sometimes even she questioned why she was even born, but she knew she had a purpose, to fight against the evil that plague the planet.

"I- is that why you created me?"

"No. I gave birth to you because I wanted our family to continue on...I knew your father would die but I couldn't stop him from fighting in the war, so I gave birth to you, I thought I would be raising a regular child but when you turned three...I saw that you were something else. Your power, speed, durability, and uniqueness caused me to realize I had given birth to a goddess. As you grew older, your strength did as well, since you won't die by age your stats will only continue to rise."
