Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
38.Memories

It blazed like fire but it felt so cold and empty like darkness, that was the aura that could now be seen coming out of Novan's body. The aura that seemed to devour him in the darkness and dissipate his emotions. The butterflies that shrouded him still injured him.

Blood flowed from his body but there was no expression on the young man's face until both Hera and Ratna, both of whom seemed to shudder at the instant when a smile formed on Novan's face. His void eyes stared straight at the three women in front of him along with that black cloud covering the moonlight.

"You, how dare you look at me with eyes like that!!" A red butterfly flies towards Novan but suddenly all the butterflies fall like dry leaves in the dry season as well as the rose plant that binds the body of Novan.

All of Novan's wounds healed just like that and with a pleased look he still looked at the three before then speaking.

"Death"

His eyes emitted a vengeful aura and from behind his body was as if a pair of wings were spread out wide.

Black butterflies suddenly formed from the remains of the suits of moon butterflies and red butterflies. All the butterflies slashed freely into the air and from the flapping of their wings a black powder mixed with the air, creating a darkness that devoured the entire garden.

"Mu,impossible... "

The flowering plants that flourished around the garden slowly withered and dried up, and in the midst of the darkness Novan smiled widely. Goddess Ratna immediately stepped back, as did Goddess Hera, when both of them felt an extremely strange pressure emerge from Novan's strange aura.

"How is it possible... How could a human like you use the power of the gods Morpheus and Hades?!"

Hera knew both abilities clearly. The black butterflies that seemed to rise from the dead, the eternal black smoke that seemed to be a picture of a nightmare hallucination.

The incision wound is then seen on the skin of Goddess Hera.

"D-goddess.this is not what I feared, is it?" Dian asked towards the two Goddesses with a frightened look. Hera clucked in annoyance before then with a gentle smile she stroked Dian's cheek.

"Man, sacrifice for us"

"A, what?.."

Dian's body felt stiff and the power of the god took over her body, making her instantly enveloped by the holy energy opposite to Novan. And with a sly smile Hera then looked at Novan and went missing with Goddess Ratna.

"Goddess...?" Dian felt unable to feel her body anymore, and her hand with a look then played angklung in her hand, creating a beautiful melody that then called out a strong wind that blew away all the black butterflies of Novan.

The girl's gaze had now become hollow, just like Novan. The two of them could not control each other's bodies, now in their minds there was only a desire to kill.

The battle is inevitable and Dian is increasingly desperate, but when Novan's blood-red dagger almost hits his hand Novan suddenly stops and from both his eyes tears almost fall.

"A.dik.ku.."

Novan finds himself in a dark forest, again various questions haunt his mind, where he is now, what happened, how things are out there. Novan knew nothing, at least before he found a bright blue-haired little girl crying alone.

"Hiks. dad hates me. Brother doesn't want to play with me. I'm always the most ignored! What if I was a girl? Why don't they like me? Hiks.no one wants to play with me.."

"You too.." Dian stared at her doll and then wept more and more and cried out loudly "you're lying! You said you'd always be there for us?! Said you wanted to accompany us, but you disappeared!"

The doll was thrown so far that it fell to the front of Novan's feet. Novan, take the doll and look at it for a moment. The doll, the words and the anger, were all fixed on her like a chest-piercing arrow. Now it feels like Novan's heart is hurting.

Novan realized, that the changes that occurred from the absence of her in Dian's life made the child more depressed, no one gave him the spirit, he said, all pressured him because of his identity and he did not know who to be angry at.

Dian seemed to remember Novan, but he then asked himself who exactly is Novan? Who gave him more affection than he expected? Who has lost his memory? Who gave her the warm feeling she had once felt? How does it feel to be loved?

But in the end it ended with Dian who could not remember it.

"Dian"

Novan walked closer to the little girl, but the more he approached the girl's form the more changed. At first it was just a little girl with tears in her eyes, then it turned into a silent teenager with puffy eyes, and finally when Novan was right in front of Dian, she said, now in front of him was a mature woman with empty eyes without light.

Novan wanted to reach his sister but then the vines and butterflies of the moon surrounded Dian's body, locking the woman in a very sad pain like a doll. Can't cry, can't scream what else to ask for help, that's how Dian's been living her life.

"I hate it all.." a soft voice rang out from Dian's pale lips that began to speak "I will destroy everything that has made me suffer. I. I hate everything.."

"My family, I'm gonna kill everyone!"

Dian was immersed in his feelings of sadness, misery so much hurt his soul and now in the pressure of Goddess Hera he increasingly lost the reason to calm down.

Novan walked up to him, getting closer to his body being pierced by the thorns of the rose, and when he could reach Dian, he hugged her warmly.

"I'm sorry, sister.."

Dian's eyes instantly widened and a sweet and warm memory entered her head like a fresh breeze in the morning. Her small instinct, a long-erased happy memory and a warm feeling she never felt again.

Now he remembers it.

The brother he had been looking for.

"Sister... Novan..?"

Dian was awakened from the influence of Hera's power but as soon as she opened her eyes, there was only blood staining her hands and clothes.

"Sister.sister?"

And in front of him Novan seemed to embrace him with blood flowing on the wounds on his body. Novan painstakingly stroked his sister's head and then spoke in a hoarse and heavy voice. Now both his head and his body, everything hurts.

"Thank you for holding on.."

Before then Novan's body collapsed in the arms of his own sister.

"Ka, brother?"
