Chapter 284 Desolation
Worse than the first time he had heard her voice, Seth\'s mind was in an even more horrible state.
Hearing her voice, Seth\'s frustrations which had been seeking an outlet began spamming his head with all sorts of thoughts, but just before he could think the unthinkable, Seth got a grip of himself and ended his pitiful train of thoughts.
"No matter what, without Alexia, I\'ll probably be serving tenures of torture in hell, that I am alive is because of her and no one else."
Though he had rescued himself from the pits of disgusting ungratefulness, Seth still couldn\'t help but fall to his knees.
Following his solemn emotions the sea also attained a certain wavy calmness which was in contrast with its rather turbulent movements a few minutes ago, but then weirdly enough, even though the sea was calm, it began raining in the dark space, Seth had no interest in this phenomenon.
Kneeling on the dark red sea all alone with rain dropping all around, Seth sat on his hind legs as he tried to come up with a solution for his problem.
The intense conviction and confidence he had attained during his battle with Zuroc threatened to be washed away, but Seth tried to fight against such a fate.
He had triumphed in the real world, and now it was time for him to triumph in his soul, but the current battle didn\'t even give him an opportunity to fight.
"Seth, come" Alexia\'s voice sounded once more, but Seth was filled with shame of his previous thoughts and desolate with his current conditions, he remained still, hoping she will get the memo and let him be, but that was not to be.
"Darling please stop ignoring me I don\'t like seeing you like this, come up here and be with me."
Hearing Alexia\'s words, a bit of confusion suffused Seth\'s face, and he couldn\'t help but ask.
"Why don\'t you come down here?" Seth wondered, his question reaching Alexi seamlessly despite the rain, a rather comforting perk of being in the soul.
If she was so worried about him, then she should be down here hugging him and comforting him something he felt he could do with at the moment but he was sure as hell never going to ask her for.
"I can\'t," Alexia answered
Knowing Alexi, Seth wouldn\'t put it past her to give him some dumb or whiny reason for her words, but right now wasn\'t seriously the time to play, and he hoped she had a good reason for her words.
"Why," Seth asked.
"I can move around on the Island as much as I wish, but I can\'t step on the sea, your world won\'t let me, you won\'t let me" Alexia answered, and though her last words were said in a murmur, Seth clearly heard it.
"Come down," Seth said.
"But.. the…" Alexia began complaining but Seth cut her off.
"I said come down."
This time there was no complaint, and though Seth couldn\'t see it, he knew that Alexia\'s figure disappeared from up on the island, and then the next second she appeared a few meters away from Seth on the sea.
A smile graced Alexia, face as she stood on the sea for the first time, but unfortunately for her, her arrival was not smiled upon by the sea.
A few seconds after she appeared, the area around Alexia on the sea transitioned from a state of calm to a state of chaos.
The sea beneath Alexia opened up like a beast wanting to swallow her while waves rose high in the air, wanting to crush her.
Alexia was filled with fright but before anything could happen Seth\'s voice reverberated all around his soul space.
"Silence!"
It was bad enough that a portal leading to some idiot king had been opened in his soul and that the dumb king could wantonly feed on his soul energy, to now see the sea rebelling against him and moving against Alexia for whatever reason just set him off.
Thankfully, with Seth\'s words the sea regained its calm almost instantly, not a single wave to be seen in sight as all that was left was Alexia standing on the sea.
The sight of Alexia with her head bowed and her hand rubbing against each other painted for a pitiful sight, it looked like she was the guilty party.
"Alexia, Seth called, the woman looking up at him with a smile, and then in no time Seth found her tightly wrapping her hand around him like she buried her head on his chest.
"Darling don\'t be angry, it was probably just your soul being protective," Alexia said, her worse only getting a groan from Seth.
Slowly Alexia peeked out from Seth\'s chest and looked at his calm and thoughtful face.
"Ehhh darling, sorry can we move to the island, this place is scary.
A frown climbed Seth\'s face as he heard Alexia\'s words, until recently everywhere in his soul space felt like home to him, so to hear her words now, had him doubtful, but then again remembering who reside beneath the red sea, Seth acquiesced to her request.
"Okay"
One minute they were on the red sea, the next they were standing in Alexia\'s cottage which she made for herself on the island.
"Alright what do you want," Seth asked.
Well, I felt your stress and frustration and I figured it would be better if you shared your problem with me" Alexi slowly asked.
"It\'s nothing to worry yourself about, I\'m already coming up with a plan to deal with it.
"Liar" Alexia barked, a few seconds of silence ensuing after.
"I sacrifice myself for you because I love you Seth, and it\'s a decision I can never regret."
"You\'ve already told me you don\'t love me," Alexia said in a low tone," but I believe you at the very least care for me, or in the worst case feel indebted enough to me to care how I feel, and if this is true, then please tell me the truth."
"What\'s that black circle in the sky is Seth, I know it\'s related to you rescuing my soul."
