Chapter 191 - Volume 6.1 The World That Lies Beyond The Story



Chapter 191 – Volume 6.1 The World That Lies Beyond The Story

The world of Illahayah, particularly in the continent of Heliyas was the setup of the story of the Fate of the Stars. It was a common story of a girl summoned to another world to become the saintess. It was the written fate that the world followed no matter what. However, things had changed. Someone had interfered with the timeline and there is always an unexpected event. 

'Everything is now heading to uncertainty.'

"Goddess."

An unparalleled and ethereal woman with long blond hair and eyes that was like the universe itself turned around. She was wearing a white flowy dress that seemed like the white clouds. She was no other than Lumiera, the goddess of light.

She turned around only to see her angel who had four white and smooth-looking wings. The angel was holding a golden trumpet in their right hand. 

"I'm here to report to you that the goddess of mischief's chosen champion has crossed the borderland of your area. He was also together with your champion, Hyun Jae."

Lumiere had no emotions after she heard the announcement since she already expected this because of the time she visited Verena. She simply walked towards the pond where there were fishes of different types of colors were playing. "This is the game that they all wanted to have. Now that they have managed to cross the borders, the real trials of the world will now begin."

"Trials?"

"I have kept this world's peace for as long as I can. However, changes are bound to happen. I thought I could control everything but there's truly something beyond my capabilities to control this world." Lumiera swiped the water of the pond and it began showing an image of different places being burned. "The other gods and goddesses are also becoming uncontrollable."

"The trials of that would decide the fate of this world." Lumiera turned around and walked away. "Continue looking after Hyun Jae."

"Yes, goddess." The angel bowed down and disappeared.

'The ancient cosmos that was looking after this world. Why did you decide to show themselves and participate after such a long time? Did my rule doesn't satisfy the world now? The future of the world becomes bleaker as time passes. To the chosen champions, I hope you will be enough for the restoration of everything. The world will not be the same thing as ever before.'

—⚓⚓⚓—

Malaya gained consciousness, but as soon as she opened her eyes, the penetrating sunlight made her wince. She blocked the sunlight with her arms. But as she moved, she realized that where she was lying was kinda flowy.

To her surprise, as soon as she turned around, she fell directly into the water. All this time, she was lying down in a rectangular piece of metal in the middle of some sea. She immediately swam up and climbed to the piece of metal. She clutched her head and looked for anyone.

She spotted someone ahead of her lying in a different piece of metal. Green hair? Only one person came to her mind with that hair color. She immediately swam to his side. But when she got there, she was surprised to see that there was someone else beside him.

"Oliver, Hyun Jae." She immediately checked their pulses, and let out a deep breath of relief when their heart was still beating in a normal state.. She looked for others, but there was no other else aside from the three of them. "Hey, wake up! Please! If you can hear me, open your eyes." Malaya shook them both. But they were not waking up. Well, at least they are still breathing so it would be fine for now. She just keeps shaking their body hoping that they will finally gain consciousness. 

"Lila! Iris! Rein! Kayden! Rhyme! Dorris!" Malaya shouted their name hoping someone would respond to her but to her surprise, she couldn't hear anything. She took a deep breath and just look at Hyun Jae and Oliver who were lying unconsciously. 

The last thing Malaya remembered was that the Bituins were failing at a rapid speed in the darkness. However, a blinding light flashed unto them making them close their eyes. And that was when she opened her eyes, she was already in this place.

'Where are we? Is this outside of the Red Current? Did the ship break since there are some of the parts here?' Malaya kept asking questions inside her mind since she wasn't sure yet where they are and what was really happening at the moment. And at the same time, she was getting worried since she couldn't see anyone other than these two. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. 'I think it would be a better idea if I could find a safe place for the three of us now so I can assess the situation properly after that.'

She glanced around and to her surprise, there was land ahead of them. She swam back to the metal she had and grabbed her bag and raised it high in the air, being careful not to let go of it. Then she looked at the other things if there were some supplies she could use for now. 

She gathered all the things that were scattered and put them to the metal that the other two were lying at. 'Is magic going to work here now? I wish we could use our magic now so it became easy for us to navigate to this place' She brought out a talisman that could cause a fire. When she tore it a fire immediately appeared to her glee. She smiled when she realized they could use their magic. 'Finally, the magic is already working. Then it means we are already out of the Red Current.'

Malaya grabbed both Hyun Jae and Oliver's wrists. And tore three talismans while looking at the island ahead of them. She appeared right away there.

Then she tore another talisman to bring every supply she gathered to the island. 'Hah, how I miss using magic.' When she was able to transport everything, she felt a throbbing sensation at the back part of her leg. To her horror, there was a huge open wound on it. 

'When and where did I get this wound? Is it from falling here?'

'Ah, it must be all the adrenaline that will not cause me to feel this wound right away.' She checked some potions in her bag but to her surprise, there were no potions in there other than sleeping potions and potions for poisons. 'What? why? Where are all my precious healing and light potions?!"

Malaya sighed as she brought out the needle and yarn inside her bag. She started cleaning the wound first before stitching it on her own. And the feeling was really painful. 

'Hah. If I have my potions or Hyun Jae was awake,' Malaya gritted her teeth while trying to apply whatever she wanted on her wounds to heal them immediately. 

After a few moments of suffering, Malaya stood up. 'I hope Hyun Jae will wake up as soon as possible and heal me. So I can't feel all this pain I feel right now.' Thought she was limping, she walked towards Oliver and Hyun Jae to check their conditions. Now that she was checking them in a better and more stable place, Malaya noticed that they were pale. As she touched their heads, she realized both of them had fevers.

'It must be because of the cold when we were stuck in the sea. I don't know how long we were unconscious but it's a good thing that I woke up immediately.' She looked again at Hyun Jae and Oliver.

"Please wake up!" Malaya moved forward toward them. " Their clothes are wet. No, all the clothes that I gather are all wet.' 

Malaya picked up some wet clothes she gathered and brought out the wind and fire talismans. She has to start drying them right away. While waiting for it to get dry, she gathered some leaves and hay she could use to make a more comfortable bed for the two.

After a few hours, Malaya took a seat feeling quite tired. Oliver and Hyun Jae were now placed in a much more comfortable place with two blankets on them. There was also a bonfire so that it wouldn't be cold for them. She was just staring at the fire dancing in front of her.

'I don't have any idea where we are at this moment and the other member is still missing. Everything was unclear for me, but there is only one thing I need to focus on in my mind growth  will also feel like being lost'

Stranded in some unknown island, with a wound on her leg, and together with the unconscious Hyun Jae and Oliver, that was where Malaya began a new journey beyond the Red Current.. While she was worried about where all her other friends were and if they were in a safe place or still alive.
