The Supreme Sovereign System Chapter 158

"Well, I expect as much but still…" Said Alfonso with a heavy sigh.
Its been a few hours since Alfonso and company returned to Wasteland Valley, of course, everyone was very happy and a huge party was going on, everyone in Wasteland Valley was invited. Of course, it was just a simple bonfire, however, to the Amazons and the people was a huge opportunity to know each other, the Amazons had a huge blow in the previous fight, so relaxing a little was a perfect way to forget and enjoy, at least for some time.
The Amazons spread the heroic(exaggerated) tale of Alfonso and the others and how they defeated the son of the king of the Jubila Forest, Drako. To Everyone in Wasteland Valley, especially the kids, was an amazing and inspiriting story, the older ones were elated, the soldiers were prideful and the kids were fascinated, of course, there were some people who didn't believe it, but, it was only a minority.
While everyone was enjoying and celebrating, back in the manor, there were three individuals who were not precisely in the mood…
"As I said, the situation got out of hands, it was inevitable!" Said Alfonso.
"It's not an excuse! How dare you come back almost blind! Do you want to die that bad!?" Said one woman who had both of her hands across her chest, although her face was calm, Alfonso could see that she was enraged.
"My lord, this is not a matter or not you had to do it, the fact is, WHY you had to participate when things go south, you could have called us, instead you decided to fight an impossible battle! Is already a miracle that you came alive!" Said the other woman who was grabbing Alfonso's collar.
"I admit that I was a little bit over-optimistic, however, we managed to solve everything, and we gain an important ally! Plus, we received the protection of someone for three years, aren't both of you overreacting!?" Said Alfonso.

"Overreacting!? You go for two months and you come back injured and with twenty-something women behind you, how do you expect to feel!?" Asked Demeter.
"What's more, you hide from us that you could use the power of time, do you think that Chronos is so much of a nice guy that he will let you have his inherence!? If he doesn't have an agenda, then my name isn't Artemis!" Said Artemis.
Alfonso had been arguing with Demeter and Artemis since he came back, at first, they were touched at seeing him, Demeter gives him a big hug while Artemis made a small and yet candid smile, however, they immediately notice that something was different about Alfonso. At first, Alfonso wanted to fool them, however, he failed miserably, Artemis was the first to notice the problem in Alfonso's eye, Demeter check out with her soul power and discover that Alfonso hadn't said all the true to Cat one, he indeed had a problem with the profoundness, however, he had also develop some Astigmatism and Myopia, in consequence, he couldn't see well.
"If you want to die that badly, then, at least, save us the pain of watching you destroy yourself and die somewhere alone!" Shouted Demeter.
She left the room with some tears in her eyes.
Alfonso didn't say anything, however, he wasn't going to apologise, after all, he didn't think that he was wrong, he did what he had to do, however, he didn't feel good about it.
"Did I make a mistake?" Asked Alfonso.
Artemis didn't say anything but when to the door.
"Demeter… and I… aren't mad for the reasons you believe" Said Artemis without turning back.
Alfonso listened.
"Is it your nature, you prove it back in Tulip town, that's how you are, however… Just because you can, it doesn't mean that you have" Said Artemis "What sad us, is that you didn't stop for one second that, there are people who care and think about you, if you died back there, who is going to take your place in mine and Demeter's life?"

She closed the door.
"If you aren't able to understand that, then, you are exactly like my father"
The sad voice of Artemis vanished in the air and made Alfonso perplexed.
He stood there for some time before laying down on his bed, he wasn't sleepy, he just wanted to rest.
"You tell me that I was wrong, however, you don't tell me what the right answer is, fuck… I hate this feeling" Though Alfonso.
He wasn't stupid, he knew exactly what he was feeling.
Guilt.
He didn't feel guilty of saving the Amazon Tribe, but, for some reason, the guilty sensation he had won't go away.
"Why didn't I ask for help? I had the time…"
"Why didn't I invoke Perseus before… why did I wait until the last second?"
"Why did I had to went so far for people that I barely know?"
Alfonso though of these questions while touching his eye, suddenly a thought came to his mind.
"YOU ARE ARROGANT"
Alfonso though a lot and finally came to a conclusion.
"Indeed… I am arrogant, just because I have some powers, it doesn't mean that I am an invincible…"
"Just because you can it doesn't mean that you have… haha, Artemis, you know me better than myself sometimes…" Murmured Alfonso
That night, for the first time in a long time, Alfonso didn't sleep.
He went to Artemis and Demeter's room first thing in the morning.
He didn't apologise for what he did, however, he did apologise for the reasons for his actions.

Vast Asleep
The story of Kingard the Binder in the aftermath of Broken This short story is the epilogue of Broken, the second book of the Chronicles of Mother's Gate series. It’s a great follow-up to the novel, a bonus story that adds extra layers but is set apart from the full-length narrative. Vast Asleep follows the story of Kingard, who finds himself caught in a world called Mother's realm, bathed in glowing light but strangely stuck in place. He encounters his greatson Varyan there, and learns that his experiences are likely dreams. As he grows more accustomed to the loving realm around him, Kingard remembers fear and trepidation about the face of the world, and he loses contact with his companion. This story answers the question, Is Kingard really dead? with a tentative no, and new mysteries brewing. It also raises the question, What's happening while he's awake? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Ride Awake, about Kingard's situation with the Colkh'rak. Praise for Tales of the Known World Bookends: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great! The difference between the epilogue and prologue is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing. The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact. And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well. -- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★
