Chapter 553: Failed hypnosis

Lythia screamed like an unhinged mental patient out of the blue and yelled, "Can we just discuss how to save Nyx and put a halt to his crazy plans. Wisdom, do you have any idea how to help Nyx?"

Death’s pride was only going to get in the way of protecting Scarlet and the children from Apo. The danger had been theoretical previously but now, it was real.

She didn’t care about the past, all she wanted was the present and the future. How were they going to safeguard it?

"Of course," Wisdom smiled braggartly. "I am wisdom, I know everything."

"No you don’t." The old deity said.

"You are right." Wisdom chuckled and shrugged, "What I do know is that one and two should come together." He put his hands together. "What was separated should be joined as one. I cannot guarantee if what comes together will be the same however. A battle for dominance between the two might create a few glitches."

Lythia was not interested in the veiling of words. She wanted everything to be articulated. A spoon should be called a spoon and a spade a spade.

"You mean that instead of Esong dying, he and Nyx should become one." her eyes moved around rapidly, and so did her hands.

That was what one and two coming together meant to her ears.

"Well..." Wisdom drawled out. "Since Nyx doesn’t technically have a human body, this would be his first human body. The soul would be made whole. What I cannot tell is whether Esong’s personality or Nyx’s will become one harmonious state. The human’s strong character has proven to be quite stubborn. We could end up with two uncooperative identities with one body and soul."

"He can end up becoming Esong but also Nyx at the same time?" Lythia asked, a bit perplexed.

"Yeah, and if you are confused, pity the poor girl who will be married to him....or them?"

The old deity looked intensely at wisdom and said, "But Nyx could be the dominant one and destroy the human conscious."

"Yes." Wisdom confirmed.

"Good, let’s do that. Let us save my son and then I will flay his skin for daring to think about usurping me." The old deity declared.

"It may not work....." Wisdom was still saying when the old deity vanished.

Lythia rubbed her temples even though she did not have a headache.

"He is not listening to what I am saying." Wisdom said.

Lythia shrugged. Of course death would not listen, he was death, arrogant and proud. Pride extended to their children and to him, Nyx, his son, being victorious over Esong was the only acceptable outcome of the reunion of the soul.

"Do you have a plan?’ she asked Wisdom.

"Of course, the plan is to hijack Nyx’s plan. Esong will go to another world and we will grab him from there and bring him to the underworld and join the two souls together. It might take a month, two, three or four for his soul to be mended so he needs to vanish and be hidden away from every eye. Only we should know about it, not even Carnelia."

As the gods were coming up with a plan, Scarlet was coming to terms with the fact that her hypnosis had failed to work. They were having breakfast and Esong was talking about his plans quite carefreely.

"It will be two weeks, just two weeks." he said.

Scarlet just nodded along and smiled artificially, not really expressing herself verbally. She was asking herself continually why the hypnosis had failed to work. What exactly had failed to work in what she did? She had never been so confused in her life.

He reached over and held her hand, squeezing it so that they could talk with her attention on him. But when she looked into his eyes, all she could think of was the abnormality of the circumstances.

What is it about Esong that made him different from other humans? What is her? Had he been changed because he was married to her? Or maybe it was all that underworld food which he liked snacking on.

She always assumed that it had no effect on him but maybe she was wrong about that.

"Are you okay?" she asked, out of nowhere.

She put her hand over his chest and listened to the beating of his heart. It was strong and steady, quickening up a bit but she attributed that to the closeness between them.

He raised his own hand and placed it over hers while using his other hand to pull her chair closer to his.

"I will be okay Scar, I promise you that I will return to you." he told her. "This heart is the heart of a mecha warrior, it will take a lot more than a few mutated beasts to stop me from finding my way back to you."

She shook her head and said to him, "No, are you okay? Do you feel different in any way?"

If her hypnosis failed was he not affected in any other way? As she worried about him, she also wondered why she was suddenly feeling more at ease with the circumstances. It was if she had come to terms with how fate operated and accepted it. Had she hypnotized herself instead of hypnotizing him? Or did a good night’ sleep give her some clarity?

He laughed and touched his forehead against hers.

"Sometimes you are a little silly, but I love it." he told her.

He let go of her and turned his head back to the table. "It’s time for your press conference."

"I don’t want to go." she said with a pout.

He didn’t believe her because she had been looking forward to this opportunity since the previous year. With a slight smile on his face, he said to her, "And miss the opportunity to announce to the world that there is a cure for the darkness, I don’t think so. This is an opportunity for us to close down those death institutions disguised as treatment centers."

She stood up and grabbed a wipe from the table to clean her hands. As she did so, she shared what she thought was the most ridiculous thing ever.

"I can’t believe that people have still not figured out that their loved ones are not being treated but killed."

"Oh they know." he stood up, grabbed the wipe from her hands and cleaned them for her. He did it slowly, taking his time. "It’s an open secret that everyone knows but never talks about."

He got another wipe and cleaned her lips. Then, he brushed his lips against hers and hugged her tightly.

"I have to go." He was not actually supposed to be in London. He was supposed to be in the capital, preparing for Markay’s crowning ceremony.

"I know." she said.

"I will see you in three days." he told her.

She nodded.

He turned around to walk away and she leaned against the table watching him walk away with a confident swagger in his steps.

Suddenly he turned back when he got to the entrance and looked at her.

"Scarlet, we are okay, right?" he asked. His voice was unusually strained.

She smiled and nodded. "We are okay."

"You know that I love you, right?" He further asked.

His expectantly eyes lingered on her as he waited for her response. The only acceptable response was that she knew.

She smiled, raised her hand and made a finger heart. After that, she blew a kiss at him.

"Hurry back to me." She told him.

Her simple answer held a deeper meaning to him and he smiled, contented. He would do as she wished and hurry back to her.
