《Heart of Creation》CH 13: A Mother's Plea
Advertisement
"it's been two weeks, Michelle. The sisters failed in protecting her. We knew something like this would happen when the fortress showed up. They don't like not knowing something. It's why they are a part of the Shadow." The Oracle said to me. "I'm dumping our coffers into trying to get Tasha healed. The two runic healing blankets on her each cost a Paladin's yearly salary."
"I know the costs are mounting." I said shamefully to Darrien. I knew he was trying to help.
"Michelle, we can't have this happen again. Check her Ki. If it's flowing well enough, show her how to heal herself with it. When she wakes for longer than an hour, you are to teach her about healing herbs until she goes back to the academy."
"Yes, sir."
"Michelle, look at me." I looked up at him. "I'm worried about her too. I mean, who knew that Mr. Simon's daughter was a Valkyrie. Couple that with the fact that Persephone herself is watching over her."
He looked like he was about to cry.
"I've never seen a goddess stay on this plane for so long. And this thing she keeps mentioning about not being able to interfere. It's brought to light just how fragile Tasha is. I mean, yeah; she is the chosen of Demeter. But she has a weak constitution, almost nothing wakes her up, and her body can't even handle normal summer weather."
He looked down at the ledger, and spun it to face me.
"Michelle, all of these charges are just to try and help your daughter have a somewhat normal childhood. But we don't have a runemaster, and none of our priestesses can or want to learn. These ears and tails we had made, we even hid from her that we put runes on them. That was 3 gold crowns for each. And 6 crowns for each tail."

"I'm glad she is using them. But it's time to curb the cost. I know she is young, and still getting a handle on her gift; but the temple can't afford to keep doing this." Darrien looked absolutely lost as he looked me in the eye again. "Michelle, I'm sorry, but from now on, her ledger has to ballance. Her scholarship to the academy is paid for by the king himself. I won't take that from her."
The smell of an autumn rain wafts through the room, as a woman with chestnut brown hair enters the room. She looks just like Persephone.
"I agree with you Darrien. When she wakes up, she is to be treated as an initiate. She must earn everything you give her from now on. The only thing I don't want you to take from her is her school."
"Michelle, I need you to do something for me. Your daughter won't open her eyes for another two weeks. So you have time."
The woman handed me a scroll, it felt like a wet vine, and smelled of peppermint.
"If you follow those instructions, you will ballance the ledger up to date, and you are to teach her everything you learn from that journey. When you come back to the temple in two weeks, you will not remember leaving Tasha's side; and none of the temple dwellers will remember you gone."
With that the woman disappeared in a gust of wind. I unfurled the scroll, grabbed my cloak, and walked out, as that's all the scroll said I was allowed to bring.
If this helps Tasha at all, I must do it. Thank you Demeter, for reminding me why I follow you.

8 233Soul of the Fallen
I am Leon Marshall, scourge of the earth, death of the heavens, and slayer of gods. Perhaps you have yet to hear my tale. It was I who conquered the nine hells to reclaim the soul of the fallen. It was I who seized the crown of the Empire that ruled for eternity. It was I who fought with the Skylords themselves, and drove the Coalition of the north across the great sea. It may be that I have perished young, but what does it matter? To live without leaving a trace of my existence is to not have lived at all. Come, hear my tale. See the life of the Unequaled himself, and the legacy that shall live for eternity. ------ The skies tremble as the gate of worlds open for the soul of a Celestial. He who came from another world. He who possessed the knowledge of men long ago came and passed. The darkness screeches as silence spreads over the gods themselves. Leon Marshall has journeyed from the earth to the Seven skies, and nothing would ever be the same. Follow the tale of the demon's chosen on his path to destroy the world. (Note:This story will be rewritten under the same name, and I will link it once it is avialable)
8 114I Am Not A Humanity's Traitor (Isekai LitRPG)
Ren is a reincarnated person. His new world had the same name as his old one, Earth. But that was the extent of the resemblances. Ren has a skill as well, or at least he was told he did, but he had no inkling of how to use it. He was disheartened at first but his goal wasn't the path to power, all he wanted from this world was to continue the peaceful life, but the world didn't even provide him with that. A luminous pillar descended upon him and one of his classmates. Goddess Helastia, one of the most revered goddess, called them to herself, probably not a good news. However, there, he finds that a group of heroes has been summoned from his past world to confront the Devils that will be rising soon. But contrary to his assumption of being a hero himself, she referred to him as a reincarnated imposter. She labeled both of them as Humanity's Traitors and sends them into a dungeon where they were supposed to live. That is, with their masters and comrades, the Devils and their minions. The monsters in the dungeon were not likely to accept them as allies, instead, they were out to devour the delicacies that appeared in their home. Only despair awaited them. ---------------------------------------------------------- This novel is inspired from Neets's parallel world syndrome, Abnormal state skill and bunch of other jp novels, this is also my first time writing a web novel. Also English isn't my native language, so, sorry in advance. The pic in the cover is taken from pixabay and edited by me.
