The Last Primal

Chapter 543 - 543 - Familial Connection

As for the third, and last group, they turned out to be quite an interesting group of girls, joined up with Crone and Jai to provide the protection they surely would need.

The blonde amazon, Naybeah, the mischievous sisters, Aina and Eina were still bedridden just a few hours ago. Yet, now Captain Don just couldn't keep them rested, they were adamant in going out today as well.

Even though he suggested it, and the boys were strangely receptive and accepted it almost instantly, Captain Don was painfully aware that Crone and Jai alone would have absolutely no chance in trying to reign in the whirlwind of a trio that those three girls were.

Luckily, at the very last second, like an angel descending from heaven to ease the pain and suffering of the poor, tormented worldly soul, the two innocent, heavenly fairies, Galina and the missing leader boy's sister, Lily have come to the rescue and offered to join up with them. 

Although it shouldn't have been that much of a surprise. After all, the third and last Point of Interest for the group would be flying towards the far northeast, which the fairy maidens themselves have proposed just yesterday as they came back.

The vast expanse of the unknown lying in that direction supposedly was also where the missing youth could be found. Though as they explained, he was very far away, way beyond the horizon, it was still the direction they should be aiming for ultimately.

Still, though they were zealous and overly eager to get started and venture out to reunite with him, they also understood that they couldn't rush ahead like headless chickens. They needed to understand the basics, the where, the what, and obviously the how. 

Where they actually were? The place they were, though roughly matched the description they were given, in reality, it was far from being deserted. These hideous, amalgamations, these freaks of nature were preying in the dark. They were intelligent, highly intelligent creatures with a cruel, twisted nature. Still, were they more than just highly evolved apex predators? They were hoping to get an answer to that in the near future…

Then, there was the what. What was this world really? Originally it was described as a sub-dimension, a realm that was created through some highly advanced magic. An artificial pocket plane so to speak. Yet, if that were the case then the information shouldn't be so full of mistakes and oversights. If that were the absolute truth, then they would have been informed of the dangers they have already faced and will keep facing as long as they were forced to stay.

Lastly, the how. After learning all that they could, and finally drafted a map with all the threats lying around, they would then need to devise a plan on how to tackle the vast, endless desert and whatever was lying after it that separated them from the young master.

Only when these three questions have been fully explored and answered, could they break camp and move on. However, until then, they need to work on them, while also trying to find the treasures they also had to look for in order to score some points to their Pillar, the Masked Mistress waiting outside.

"Okay… so, little girl, tell me…" Leaving the premises of the camp, Naybeah walked next to Lily, making sure not to step on or push away the two fierce hounds leisurely following behind the two girls.

"…What... Or I guess, how in the gods' name, did you guys come up with the thought that my mat-… *khm*… Aiden was in this direction?" She asked, making sure to not annoy the girls with the way she addressed their missing leader.

Lily sighed, revealing a troubled expression as she heard the question. Truth be told, even though she herself had felt this peculiarity, this miraculous ability they shared with her beloved brother, in reality, she still wasn't sure how to explain it.

What was it actually? They weren't blood-related, so it wasn't anything they were born with, yet somehow they were connected in more ways than she could possibly understand, much less explain.

"Well…" Taking a bit of time to collect her thoughts, Lily spoke with a hesitant tone. "…I'm not entirely sure myself. I can't really explain it, other than… I just know, I guess?" She raised her shoulders and looked at blonde amazon with a look hoping for support and understanding. 

"Let me help explain it to Eldest Sister." Hearing how Lily was struggling, Galina decided to join in and jump to her rescue. With a warm, kind smile glowing on her beautiful face, she explained. 

"It is a… connection they have, that allows them to roughly sense the other one. They instinctively know the general direction of where the other one is, and can also somewhat sense the state of the other." 

She looked at the amazon, whilst she was already thinking of how to explain the mental channel in simpler terms, thinking that amazon wouldn't get it. After all, it was indeed very hard to grasp it, very unlike how the world has worked. 

Surprisingly though, Naybeah looked at them thoughtfully. She nodded and creased her brows as she spoke.

"I can kinda understand that. It must be something similar in nature to what our Queen has with us." She revealed. "Still, that one is pretty one-sided, only she can reach out to us, we cannot." 

Her face revealed a frown as she went deeper into thought, she asked.

"Still, I don't understand it. How come they have such a powerful ability. This connection as you called it… They aren't siblings related by blood, right? How come they have it then?"

Her question was right on the mark, neither of the girls had an answer ready for it. Although Galina, effectively created by the direct intervention of the Young Master, ultimately turning Aiden into her and her brother's residing in Haven's progenitor, it was a different case entirely with the half-elven girl. 

He never forcefully intervened, Aiden never interfered with her path. Though they shared many moments, struggles, and adventures together, his power, his essence should never have merged with Lily's. 

Yet, if that was the case, how did their connection, which was similar, but at the same time also unique, come to life?

Eventually, the girl in question herself broke the ensuing awkward silence with a shrug of her slender shoulders. 

"I don't know… I guess we love each other so much that we created a real bond. He is my brother and I am his sister in every essence of the term!" She proudly exclaimed with a pair of reddening cheeks. 

Even though she meant the word in a familial way, Lily couldn't help but recall his brother's glory when they pushed the door on him at the inn…
