"I can sense him. He is somewhere here. Deablo, are you going to come out on your own or do you prefer a thrashing?" When Brad heard Olympia, he had an inkling who she was referring to. He looked at his shirt"s pocket and sighed. So, Shorty is trying to hide. Hehe. Let me see till when he continues to hide. Brad had an urge to laugh out loud, but he controlled himself. Rather, he tried to distract Olympia by saying, "Can you tell me what is wrong with my body? I cannot move.""Uh. Well, actually it is because of me." Olympia replied with embarra.s.sment.
"What do you mean?"
"I can"t manifest and control ice properly. The imbalance caused your blood to freeze, but due to my fire, you are alive and have a clearer mind. You won"t be able to move your body for half a month. I will be able to control my powers by then."
"What will happen if you can"t control that properly?"
She hesitated for a while before telling him the truth, "I might die and you shall be permanently disabled."
Those words scared the h.e.l.l out of Brad. "Will… Will you be able to?"
"I will. Keep faith in me. But there is something nearby which is pulling me towards it. You need to find out." Olympia said.
"How will I do that? I can"t move. Have you forgotten that?"
"You can still move in your soul form. I"ll give you a bit of my fire powers, you"ll be able to leave your body and move in the soul form."
"Have you gone mad? No one can see me in the soul form. My parents are worried."
Olympia lowered her head and became silent. She knew that it was very hard to be separated from parents. She knew that a lot of things were going to happen. But she could not do anything. She was sad. She lost her parents during childhood, and she did not want others to have that same experience. Seeing her sad, Deablo peeked out of Brad"s pocket and jumped. He immediately rushed towards Olympia and tried to hug her with his two short hands. Olympia felt something rushing towards her, and instantly swatted her huge wings to throw "that thing" away.
"Eh? Why does it look familiar?", she thought to herself.
"Deablo?" She called out, quite unsure herself. Although she smelt him before, she did not think that Deablo would appear here, as she could not detect his presence.
Deablo came running towards her with the intention to hug her, but stopped three steps away from her before looking pitifully at her, "Bohohohoho, you horrible woman, you dared to throw me away when I was coming to console you. Bad woman. I am not going to talk to you." Maybe Olympia was sad, so she pulled Deablo towards her before hugging him tightly with her pair of light yet strong wings.
"Woman, can you turn into the other form?" Shorty asked Olympia. Olympia looked at her and then said, "Okay." Saying that, she closed her eyes. Brad was looking at her without batting his eyelids. What he saw left him dumbfounded. Standing in front of him was a woman in her thirties. She had red hair, which billowed in the wind. Half of her outfit was red, and half of it was royal blue. She was dressed like a man but she stood there like a queen. The aura of fire and ice surrounded her entirely, but the power radiating from the fire was more than that of the ice. Olympia retracted her aura and smiled at Shorty before calling him, "Come here. Let me give you a proper hug."
Deablo ran towards her with a wide grin on his face, and his tail was swinging from side to side. When he came in front of her, he stopped. Olympia picked him up, hugged him and kissed him on his cheeks. Deablo blushed scarlet. He glared at Olympia and said, "Woman, don"t molest me." He rubbed his cheeks with his cute, short hands while telling, "I"m big now."
"Hehe. Are you now?" She eyed his entire body which was not even the size of half of her feather.
