Chapter 354: Ascension
Angelica and Rain cried and curled up into Kana"s arms, not wanting to let go for the entire time they were in the Rural Kingdom and when they got back. It was not until later that night they finally cried themselves to sleep. Kana looked at the two girls and gently stroked the top of their heads. "Creige, was I too blunt on this matter?"
"No, I do not think there was an easier way to explain this to them. Being up front was all you can do. For the next month, spend every waking minute with them and me." Creige looked at Kana. He was not feeling so good about leaving his wife alone by herself for an undetermined amount of time.
"It will be hard to see you three go. But I promise I will work hard and make it back to you three. So we can be a family again. I just hope I do not lose too much time. I do not want to miss my babies growing up." Kana felt like all she had been doing all day was crying. She was originally never this emotional but now…
"No matter what the case may be, we still have our soul connection. No matter where you are, I will also know how you are, and you will always know how I am. But no matter what, promise me you will not try to come to the realm of G.o.ds before becoming a G.o.ddess. I know you"re strong, but the realm of G.o.ds differs from h.e.l.l. h.e.l.l, anyone can come or go as long as they have the ability to. But the realm of G.o.ds is different. It is bound by some kind of law. Only those who have ascended to G.o.dhood are able to walk freely within the realm. Others will be crushed under the strange law that governs the place." Creige explained.
"Mmm… I understand. Yuthia and Sei told me this a while ago when I asked if I could visit the realm of G.o.ds. For now, let"s forget the difficult stuff and just worry about the present. " Kana snuggled into Creige"s chest while holding the girls.
Days and weeks pa.s.sed, and Kana did indeed spend every waking second she could with her two daughters and Creige. But these wondrous days seemed to pa.s.s by in an instant, and the day for saying their goodbyes had finally arrived. Standing in the garden of their estate Kana carried both the girls to the small field of flowers that she had decided on to say her goodbyes.
Ceilie, Nergal, Camlia, the three princesses, Sei, and Yuthia, were all there to send them off. Tilia wanted to come but was stuck dealing with learning the ropes of ruling the Rural kingdom. Kana stood in front of Creige and let out a sigh. She put the girls down and stood on her tiptoes, and kissed his lips. "Mama..." Rain held on to Kana"s hands. She did not want to let go.
"Rain, Angelica. We are only saying goodbye for the time being. Mama will be sure to come to you girls as fast as I can. So listen well to daddy and learn well at the G.o.ddess academy, okay? You have to promise to be good, okay?" Kana hugged her two littles ones tightly.
"Mmm… Rain will protect Angelica and listen to Handsome Papa..."
"Angelica will protect Rain and listen to Handsome Papa as well.."
"Good girls. Now go hold on to daddy"s hand." Kana reluctantly pa.s.sed the girls to Creige.
"Kana, we will be waiting. By then, I will have a place for us to settle down for a while. We will be waiting no matter how long it takes you" Creige smiled warmly. And before Kana could even answer, three rays of white lights pierced through the ceiling of the mountain and engulfed Creige and the two girls. Their bodies slowly began to turn into b.a.l.l.s of golden lights. The two girls" faces were covered in tears. Kana could only watch on as they ascended, leaving her alone by herself.
"Creige! Girls, I love you!" Kana yelled out as their bodies disappeared. Her own body slumped to the ground. This whole situation was very hard for Kana.
Ceillie and Camlia quickly went over and hugged Kana, who had broken down as soon as the girls and Creige disappeared. Sei and Yuthia stood there watching the scene, their eyes red. "Kana, you can still talk to them through letters for the time being. Sei and I will bring them letters and bring you any letters they write just like we talked about before. So no matter what, you will be able to keep up on what they are doing."
Kana looked up at Yuthia and wiped her eyes, and nodded her head. "I know. Thank you so much. I know you two do not want to return to the realm of G.o.ds. So this means a lot to me."
"We are friends. There is no need to thank us." Yuthia smiled as she walked over and hugged Kana. Sei also joined in.
"Kana, before you take off, you should say bye to Tilia first. I am sure she would like to see you before you go." Ceilie knew Kana would not want to waste time. Not when she has her family waiting in the realm of G.o.d for her.
"Mmm… I plan on it. For now, let"s all have dinner together. I will leave here tomorrow and head to the Rural Kingdom.." Kana forced a smile as she stood up.
"Then let"s eat." s.h.i.+rley replied as she waved her hand to the maids and had them bring out a large blanket to sit on and food.
Realm of G.o.ds…
"Welcome to the Realm of G.o.ds! My name is..." A G.o.ddess with squirrel ears and tail froze when her eyes landed on the handsome man who just appeared. She did not even see the two little girls at his side as she smiled bashfully and said: "Umm, my name is… Ahhh! My eye!"
"Handsome Papa, we just got here, and a thot already tried to steal you from Mama… Mama… Whaa!!!" Rain, who had just punched the squirrel lady in the eye, began to cry. One Rain began to cry, Angelica was not too far behind. Creige knelt down and picked the two girls up, and walked right past the squirrel girl who was still jumping around holding her eye that was now swollen. He had no time to deal with this kind of person. His first objective was to secure a place for him and his little girls to live.
