Chapter 19 by SmallestStories SmallestStories

But it is only a dream...

Rei wakes you up by shaking you.

You suddenly feel something shake you, and it brutally wakes you up. You are covered in sweat, your breathing erratic, you then look up to see Rei, with a worried expression and her hands still on your side.

"You were mumbling in your dream, and you started to shake." Explains Rei, as she got her hands off your side. "It had me worried about what you were dreaming off."

As she talked, you struggled to get it together. She looked very worried indeed, and she still was beautiful in her qipao. It took you several minutes to get it together, but then you asked Rei :

"Can I ask you some questions about this world ?"

"Yes. I don't know much about this world, but I'll tell you what I know." Replies Rei.

"Good... Then what is the Chaos Legion ?"

Rei froze for a second, surprise on her face, before she answered :

"The Chaos Legion is commonly known for being like a small army under the orders of the God of Chaos, why this question ?"

"And have you heard anything about a certain Argos guy ?" You then ask.

"Yes, Argos is one of the nicknames of the God of Chaos. What is happening, Adam ?"

You didn't answer her though, thinking about it for some time. So Argos, or Zeromus, the one who gave you this NULL class, is also the God of Chaos and the master of the Chaos Legion, and if you trust your dream, then it means that Atsura is the head of the Chaos Legion under the God of Chaos' direct orders, and Shirayuki is also one of the higher-ups of this legion... And they want to protect you from Balance, which, now that you knew who Argos/Zeromus was, you assumed was in fact the God of Balance himself...

"Adam ?" Rei asks, even more worried at your lack of response.

"Oh, sorry, it's nothing. I just had a dream, and for some reason both of those names were in it at some point, so I wondered if it has any connection with this world." You answer, not lying at all, since it was in fact what happened.

"I guess it may have something to do with something you've heard before losing your memory that was impactful to you, maybe ?" Rei says after a bit of thinking. "Anyway, you should get up. We need to finish our quest today, or I'm afraid something will happen and we will end up being late !" She then adds, with a little smile since you're okay, before getting out of your tent, waiting for you.

You sigh, glad that she didn't go any further with her questions, as you surely wouldn't have been able to make up convincing enough lies, before finally getting up, dressing up and finally getting out of your tent. Afterwards, you and Rei had breakfast, undid your tents, putting them in your bags, then finally started searching again for the Angel Threads, this medicinal herb you needed to collect for your quest.

The search and collect went without anything special, as it didn't take long for you to find what you searched for, and to collect enough for the quest to be a success when you will come back to Molsis and deliver the herbs. After collecting them, you then start to walk back to Molsis, thankful that nothing held you back after what happened in the cavern.

A nice and uneventful walk later.
