But What does that mean? Ri settled back down after her realization. As much as she wanted to believe that her parents had to be in this very universe, something wasnt adding up. Plus, they didnt know enough to conclude something like that. At most they could know for sure that Ris parents didnt leave by normal means.
A sad smile surfaced on Dyons features. He didnt like seeing Ri in such a sad state, but these were things they had to talk about together. He was a hypocrite when it came to his loved ones. A lot of the time he wanted to carry all of the load and keep things buried inside, by he hated the idea of his friends, or his women especially, having to do so. His decision just months earlier to trust Ri and Madeleine to fight on their own was something that still tore him apart to this very moment.
He knew Ri was safe now, because she lay by his side. In fact, he knew Madeleine was safe too because on his way back, he used Little Lylas help to find a spatial tear to her. However, he still hated having to find Ri in such an injured state and although Madeleine wasnt hurt when he found her, when he got a good look at the legacy world she was in, he had some pretty troubling guesses as to what her winning could mean
Dyon sighed, What we do know is a few things
For one, if your parents are no longer in this universe, they didnt leave by the gates. No one within the last ten years has conquered a gate, so therefore the cultivation of your parents would be too high to enter one.
So, with that understanding, weve eliminated one possibility, but there are others. If we assume that your parents arent here, then that means that theres some other, novel way, to travel between universes.
Is there really such a thing? It doesnt seem likely
Dyon nodded. Ri was right. If people could travel between universes just like that, then what would the gates be there for? And, when you think about the fact that the gates were created by the old man a person who had transcended and wielded unprecedented power one would be hard-pressed to justify the existence of such an item. And it became even more unlikely when you considered how weak this universe is But There was something nagging at Dyons mind.
Youre right, but theres something were neglecting
You mean how it is my mother got here, right? This was something Ri had begun pondering as soon as Dyon mentioned the problem with her parents leaving this universe. Because, if there was a problem with them leaving, then there was obviously the vice versa problem
Exactly. But, that question leaves more questions than even how your parents disappeared
We dont know how old your mother was when she came here, so we have no approximation of cultivation. That means she could very well have used normal means to enter.
The problem with that would be that there are no Kitsune here Not that we know of anyway. So, if the Kitsune had come here, why arent they here now?
True. Theres also something interesting about those questions. Remember when I told you that my master has seals on her memory? And that those seals most likely lock away pieces of information about the destruction of the Celestial Deer Sect?
Mhm, Ri nodded.Gtt the ltest vls at .o/(v)/e/l/bi(.)co
Well, one of the things that were included in her memory was the oddity of the color of your aurora. This was something I found odd for a long time, in fact it was the main reason it took me so long to figure out you had conflicting constitutions
You mean?
Mm. After we met Bas and Liska, I confirmed my theory.
The characteristic gold color an aurora gets denotes an innate wielder. A white color denotes humanoid species such as the elves and humans. But, beasts have aurora matching their species and species type Bas aurora was a blazing red. Liskas was a pale silver. And yours is a striking blue.
So, you think the Kitsune used to be tied to the Celestial Deer Sect?
Its still too early to conclude that because my master alluded to the Celestial Deer Sect being in conflict with the qilin and dragons because of her husband and Little Black
But, if it was true, it would make sense for a number of reasons. For one, the elves had an alliance with the sect, which means that if the Kitsune were involved, that would likely be how your parents met.
Secondly, if the Kitsune were in an alliance with the Celestial Deer Sect, it would also explain their disappearance from this universe. If a big war happened, and their side lost, it would be unlikely for them to have survived Their state could very well be similar to the Celestial Deer Sect. However Theres a problem with that assumption.
Mm. If theyre destroyed, why did my mother leave? Unless were assuming incorrectly.
Dyon laughed. Thats a possibility. Because of the martial world, whenever a woman disappears and shes from a strong clan, I automatically think they must have stolen her to marry her off for political gain.
Ri sighed. But thats just the sad truth It happens too often If you hadnt helped the Elves so much, and I suddenly revealed my talent, even the Grand Elders might have used that as an opportunity to try and sell me off for their benefit
Leaning down, Dyon kissed Ris forehead. Well that would be the end of them, now wouldnt it?
A small smile appeared on Ris delicate lips as she snuggled closer to Dyon, very content with his response.
But, the truth is that my mother did leave before my father did If its not for the assumed reason, then what reason could there be? Although Ri didnt want to think it, she got a nagging feeling in her heart that made her uncomfortable.
Did my parents leave because they didnt want to be with me anymore?
