"Vasu... you lied to me there was no way there was only one love in your human life." Ariana said as she dropped her gaze. "No. I only ever truly, deeply loved one person and I will never forget her. She will always have a place right beside your mother." Vasu said as he floated downwards. "V-Vasu... you were in love with my mother?" Ariana stuttered but Vasu ignored her and started to move towards the forest. "Vasu! Wait!" Ariana shouted as she followed him. "Yes... I fell deeply in love with your mother. Ariana you said before that I was different... why?" Vasu asked as he lead Ariana deeper into the woods."...."
"It"s alright speak freely... I won"t leave you." Vasu said with a light laugh. "You never acted like the others. You were free. Well I mean you didn"t tip toe around me, you openly showed me affection and you spoke up when Aroha said no... So I had always thought that... well that we had a deeper connection then the rest.... I honestly thought of myself as your mother and you my favourite child." Ariana answered honestly. Vasu started laugh whole heartedly. Ariana had never seen him act this way. Vasu was so very stoic and to see himself so open, it caused her great heartache. She knew nothing but acted like she knew everything.
"Ariana, the G.o.ddess of Creation is the master to all. There is no exceptions." Vasu said as he brought his face towards Ariana"s. She instantly flushed. "So the G.o.ddess made the Lumas?" She asked cautiously. Vasu turned and continued to float. "I was her first experiment. After I died, my soul had no where to go. I longed to die, I pretty much did. I was a walking corpse after my mother pa.s.sed. I found a little bit of light when Sheena came into my life and a little more when Aayushi walked in but just like everything else in my life it was only for a fleeting moment." Vasu said as they finally reached an overgrown entrance.
"Vasu where are we?" Ariana asked as she looked up at a stone door covered in vines and foliage "Remember this place well. If you ever find life here is too hard come back here. Your blood will activate the door and you can leave.... I don"t know where it goes buy it will take you away." Vasu said as he sat on a fallen tree. Ariana said nothing as she examined the door. There was nothing else around it, just plants and a solid stone door standing in the middle of the forest. "Is this why every stayed behind?" Ariana asked in a hushed tone. "Yes."
"Vasu..." Ariana started to say but Vasu went back up into the air. "The jewel eyed priestess was loved by all. There was going to be unimaginable war. It was already read to break lose when your mother took her place in the Summoning Ceremony. Everyone was armed and ready to kill one another for the chance to become her familiar but the G.o.ddess stepped in. She took my wondering soul and made me into a Luma but back then there were no restrictions on me. My soul chose to become a stag and I stood beside your mom for years. That is until you were born."
"Like I said I loved your mother just like everyone else but my love started before I was turned into a Luma. I saw her walk up to the stage and couldn"t help but fall in love with her courage. You are a lot like her. Head strong, stubborn, positive and kind." Vasu said as he turned to Ariana. "But Vasu I am not her real child..." Ariana said as she felt a just ache in her heart. "Do you really think that? Your blood his hers and your father"s but your soul was one from another world... Have you ever compared your life from what it was to what it is now? Your soul never actually awakened until much later in life. Why? You were completely conscious when you were born?"
"...I... my memories were sealed." Ariana answered. "Yes and no... you wanted to whole heartedly live as Ariana. You even gave your own name to those monsters that claimed to be your parents." Vasu said before he started floating away from the door. "Vasu, I don"t understand!" Ariana called out as she chased after Vasu. "The priestess took her child"s soul with her but left you her body. Her blood runs through you... the reason you were summoned into her vessel was because there is a blood tie between you and this child"s mother."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Vasu what do you mean we have a blood tie?!" Ariana shouted. Fear started to pump through her veins as they slowly walked back. Vasu stopped and looked and Ariana. "You"re not ready yet... and maybe you never will. Time is a fickle thing that no one has control over." Vasu said as he watched her face closely. "Enough of this c.r.a.p Vasu! You have been leading me around by the nose! Why?! Why are you doing this?!" Ariana shouted. "If I was a little more attentive with your mother maybe she wouldn"t have died." Vasu said with a sad sigh.
Ariana"s eyes grew wide she couldn"t shake a horrible feeling that was growing in the pit of her stomach. "Vasu.... Why didn"t you protect my mother? Weren"t you her familiar?" Ariana asked cautiously. Vasu smiled sending chills down Ariana"s spine. "The G.o.ddess never instructed me to do so." Ariana felt like lighting struck her body. She dropped to her knees as her face paled dramatically. "You said you loved her..." She muttered but Vasu ignored her leading question.
"All the other Lumas died doing something selfless... Each one died in a way directly a.s.sociated with their element. I know Rahul"s memory was unlocked because of the teacher"s attack.... It was similar to his lover"s death and he allowed you the ability to defend yourself. Unlike him who died protecting his army and country. The more you bond and earn each Lumas"s trust the easier it will be for you to use their powers at will. No more half powers, no more limitations and your own familiars, the ones you have given life too will be able to come out. You won"t even need to have us protect you anymore, if all goes well we will be set free from this life and allowed entry into the cycle of reincarnation."
