1316 If only I could someday meet them
"You didn't forget our bet, did you?"
Nux spoke with a big smile on his face and the moment she heard his words, Vyriana turned silent.
Aeliana, on the other hand, smiled playfully.
Nux continued,
"So, what do you think? Do you wish to continue this here or... Do we move to somewhere private?"
He questioned again and this time, Vyriana grabbed Nux's arms and suddenly, the two of them disappeared.
Aeliana reacted in an instant, she closed her eyes as if she were trying to sense something and soon, her smile widened, "I can't believe she took him there."
"What are you talking about?" Amaya questioned in an instant.
"You don't have to know about it for now," Aeliana replied and Amaya just turned silent, narrowing her eyes as she started thinking something.
Lane, who was dropped out of Nux's shadow the instant Vyriana grabbed his hand had a strange look on her face as well. She didn't know how she did it, but what she did know for sure was that the Dragon was definitely behind kicking her shadow form out.
'I can't believe that woman kicked us out, it wasn't like we were bothering her, no?'
Lane heard a voice that seemed quite similar to her own, no, not quite similar, it was her own voice.
If it was any normal person, they would think the woman was talking to herself and would have thought that the woman was crazy. The more perceptive being, however, would notice something strange.
The voice Lane was hearing...
Although it was similar to her own... the same couldn't be said about the 'personality' of the voice.
'It is okay, she might be embarrassed, I was the same when I kissed him for the first time.' Lane replied.
The voice in her head, however, wasn't done.
'That's not what I am saying and you know it.'
Lane turned silent and the voice continued,
'The Dragon was able to throw you out of his shadow, a place that belongs to you and only you. It is no different than she kicking you out of your home.
It was Vyriana, a person who he likes, so it doesn't matter, but what if it was someone else? What if someone else also has the power to kick you out of your house?
What if someone else kicks you out of his shadow during a time when he needs you?'
The more the voice talked, the more silent Lane got. She couldn't come up with a reply. Deep in her heart, she knew she agreed with what the voice was saying.
'He is yours. His shadow is yours and no one else should be able to kick you out of it.'
The voice spoke, Lane nodded her head again.
Then suddenly,
'You should do it.'
Suddenly, the voice spoke. Lane's expression changed and after thinking about it for a while, she shook her head, 'I need to talk with him first.'
'You know he will never allow us to do it.'
'But if I do it without telling him... he would be hurt...'
'Lane.'
Suddenly, the voice called out, this time, her voice was much more serious than before.
Lane turned silent and the voice continued,
'It is time we become a little selfish, if we don't, we will be left behind just like today.'
'But he...'
'He will not be mad at us.
He cannot be mad at us.
He is simply incapable of it.'
'...'
Lane turned silent.
'This is something both of us want,
Just think about it, how much will we be able to help him once we do it?
Just think about how happy we will be once we do it.
We will be connected to him, we will be a part of him, we will be sticking to him, for the rest of our life, How amazing would that be?'
The voice spoke and hearing her words, a determined look then appeared on Lane's face.
"Sister Lane?"
While Lane was thinking about all this, Skyla called out as she placed her hand on her shoulders. Lane was brought out of her reverie and glanced at Skyla.
"You seem to be lost in your own world again."
Skyla commented with a slight frown on her face.
"It is nothing like that." Lane chuckled lightly, her smile, however, couldn't fool the sister she had spent most of her time with.
"You were talking to your Shadow again, correct?"
Skyla questioned as she narrowed her eyes, however, before Lane could even answer, "Of course, why else would she simply stand in silence."
Felberta spoke up as she glanced at Lane.
Lane looked back at Felberta with a guilty look on her face. Seeing the look on her face, Felberta sighed, "Don't look at me like that, Lane. You are someone I care deeply for, we have a relationship that goes further than being Nux's wives, we were together even before Nux, out of all the others, you and Skyla have more place in my heart.
I say this because I care for you,
I do not like that Shadow Lane, I get a strange vibe from it."
"...the two of us are the same...
We just have different personalities..."
Lane replied with a small pout.
"And that's what bothers me the most.
She is you but is not you at the same time.
I get a feeling that she will make you do something you normally wouldn't."
"..."
Hearing those words, Lane turned silent.
"We have asked around countless Shadow Demons, none of them, no matter how pure-blooded, has formed an alternate version of them inside their shadow who they can talk to.
Your case is peculiar.
It is obvious that we need to be careful about it, he may not show it, but even Nux is worried about you."
"I know..."
Lane, as her husband's shadow, knew perfectly well about his thoughts.
'Tsk, they have such a biased opinion of me even though they have never met me. It hurts so much.'
Shadow Lane, who was listening to everything commented.
'If only I could someday meet them.'
