400 NAGGING FEELING

Apparently, the information that Zuri got from the old lady from the shop was not right. It was not a son, but a daughter, the child that the chief of the village wanted to revive.

“I did not say that was not true. There is always a hidden truth behind every story,” the tree spoke more gently to her. “Yes, you died here. Under my canopy, you let that chief of the village kill you, even though you can ask for help.”

“What a fool.” Zuri frowned. “How could she be so stupid?”

“You will sacrifice yourself for him,” the tree said, as he directed his eyes at Chaos, who was still sleeping on the mat. He looked at ease right now, as if there was nothing else that could bother him at all.

Zuri tilted her head and then glanced at Chaos’ sleeping face over her shoulder. Yes, she had to admit it. She would do anything for him, just like how he would do anything for her.

He had done that, actually... twice at that...

“He is not just anyone,” Zuri said softly, her voice was very gentle when she mentioned that, as her gaze softened, but her expression went back to normal when she faced the tree again. “So, what happened to the girl? Did she come back to life?”

The tree mumbled something that Zuri couldn’t comprehend, so she took a few steps closer to listen to what he said.

“She came back to life,” he said shortly, but then after a few seconds of contemplation, he added. “But then, Chaos wiped out the entire village, so there is no point in her coming back to life. She is dead at the end of the story.”

.....

Zuri scoffed when she heard that. After the sacrifice that she made and all of that trouble, in the end that girl just died? What kind of joke was that? The story was really depressing, at the very least, she should have lived, right?

But, in the end, they should know the consequences of that kind of action. Zuri couldn’t blame Chaos... She knew very well how it felt to be alone and have no one to share your joy and your pain.

Zuri turned around and then looked at Chaos. He had lived in this realm for centuries, he couldn’t go back to the other realm because of her, because of what he had done for her.

On the other hand, apparently, the tree had a good memory of all the things that happened in the past. It was very obvious to see that it was not a fond memory to remember, yet there was this nagging feeling that she felt, as she wanted to know what happened at that time.

She felt there was something that connected them, between every life that she and Chaos had gone through. This tree, this village... for an example.

Yet, she still couldn’t connect the dots from the information that she had. She felt like there was still something missing, yet she couldn’t say what it was...

“I can’t imagine sacrificing myself for what? Helping someone to have a deal with the devil? Someone that I don’t even know?” Zuri scowled. She knew that the nymph and Chaos’ companion were her kind versions, but she couldn’t imagine how foolish she was to willingly be sacrificed. “What did Aaron get in return?”

The tree looked at her deeply. “He wanted a bride. A bride for the devil.” The tree then faded away, as he retracted himself and the surface of it became normal.

Seeing that, Zuri was surprised, they were not yet done with this conversation, why did he disappear?

“Hey, I am not yet done talking to you,” Zuri said in a low voice, because she didn’t want to wake Chaos up. “We are not yet done.”

Zuri came closer and rapped her knuckles against the surface of the tree, calling him out.

“I am too old to talk to you for a long time.” His voice echoed in this quiet meadow, as if the wind had brought it back here for Zuri to hear. “If you want to know more about this, find the witch.”

Zuri took a few steps back, so she could take a better look at the tree. She could feel there was something wrong with this tree, but she couldn’t say for sure what it was, since it was very obvious that the tree hadn’t changed much since the last time she saw it.

“What witch?” Zuri asked, she looked around her and the branches rattled gently.

“The coven of the witches... the witch there is an ancient soul. They will know...” The tree told her, as his voice started to fade away, as if there was someone, who was walking further and further, until they disappeared.

That was the feeling that Zuri got from the tree.

The tree sounded very weak, as if he was tired, yet it was only a few days ago that this same tree tried to crush her with his branches. If it had not been for Chaos, she would have gotten serious injuries.

What was wrong with this tree?

Zuri lifted her head to look at the tree, but she couldn’t figure that out.

In the end, she thought it was only in her mind, since she heard the story of the past from the tree and then went back to lay down beside Chaos, she hugged him closely and then snuggled closer into his arms.

He was still fast asleep and didn’t realize she was trying to find a comfortable spot.

Therefore, Zuri took his right arm and used it as a pillow and then took his other arm to wrap it around her body, so he could hug her without him realizing it.

Only then, Zuri could sleep peacefully, as she hugged his body...
