Next day, Dalia's room.
Dalia opened her eyes little by little, although what her body really asked was to keep sleeping. The teen giantess had a habit of getting up about 11 in the morning, and even after a second Willcard and all the exhaustion that this entails (because he continued to pay attention to Hades? He always ended up just as exhausted!), the instinct forced her to wake up.
What was weird was that her mothers had covered her so much... and with so many blankets...
"Stupid... wait..." Dalia tightened the mattress under her body, noticing how it was much softer, softer and hairless than normal. "Sara... ahhhh... Sarah, what are you doing?!"
Dalia tried to remove the breasts of her older sister, without much success. Dalia tried to think slowly what had happened, but everything was too confusing since after using the second Willcard.
"Dalia?... Dalia! Thank God!" Sarah gently lifted her little sister up, covering her with kisses as she sat on the floor of her little sister's room. "You know what happens if you use the second Willcard! You cant do this to me!"
"Sarah Sarah, you fill me with drool and I dont think I can get up to shower!" Sarah stopped kissing her instantly, letting her fall lightly into her lap while stroking her hair. "Dont stop patting me... please... Have you stopped going to college for me? Idiot! You're going to lose your perfect attendance!"
"As if I cared! You're a thousand, I'm saying! A million times more important than me! I would not go to school a thousand days, for you!" Dalia sighed, as she snuggled into her sister's lap.
"Nonsense... you are Lady Sarah... the superstar and heiress of the name of Hannah Reyes... you cant fail the people you care about..."
"The only thing that matters to me is you... you are my little sister and the most important thing in my life... only your opinion is worth me!" Sarah shrugged her shoulders, while Dalia could not help but blame herself for that.
The truth... is that while Dalia was envying more and more her older sister as she grew... feeling unable to reach her ... the thing was different for Sarah.
Sarah, from the moment that Hannah gave her the great news, has loved with all her heart and soul her little sister, dedicating all her life to making her happy. From going every time she cried when she was a baby, to asking to share a room so she could comfort her after the nightmares of Hades. Sarah has no real interest in studying any particular career, nor to represent extrahumanity in the species council.
All Sarah wants in this life... was to see me smile... I can be a little unfair to her... because I want to be able to walk by her side! I want to be able to... look at her face to face... so she can be proud of my achievements... more than what she already is. What am I doing... I wish I could tell her all this...
"Because, your sister doesnt deserve more hindrances, you have to be stronger, more intelligent not to be a burden, you depend on me, on you, to achieve it!" Hades's voice filled the mind of the little giantess, who writhed between headaches.
Sarah. Completely terrified by Dalia's expression of pain, she gently lifted her sister closer to her chest and released her aura as her mothers had taught her. It was a relatively simple process:
- You create a skin-to-skin contact, causing Sarah's aura to have a direct transmission method to Dalia.
- Then, you release aura in small amounts, letting it flow through Dalia's body and forcing the essence of Hades to vanish.
As simple as it was, it was also the reason why Hades could possess her. After using the second Willcard, the body begins to exhaust all the stored aura and needs to recharge it, and it is at that moment that Hades manages to enter directly to the soul of Dalia and take control of it.
Unfortunately for the specter, if at some point Dalia (or other external people) completely recharges her body, Hades has no chance but to flee back to the depths of Dalia.
Hades fled again, this time completely weakened... although the truth is that Dalia fell unconscious again. Sarah got up half crying, running around the house looking for either of her two mothers.
8 days later.
Dalia threw the rubber ball against the wall, bouncing off at a perfect angle to dunk her in her cleavage. Picking up the ball again, the teen giantess pointed a little higher this time, looking to dunk her this time in her own mouth.
It is to this level of despair and boredom that Dalia had come. To lie on his bed against the wall and throw an old rubber ball.
"Stupid Will card... stupid exhaustion ... stupid stupid!" Dalia threw the ball even harder, flying off in the other direction. Dalia's room was prepared for the third growth for months, so except for a small group of furniture in the corner that made up its temporary room, the rest of the room was a large empty area.
"Someday... I'll be big enough to fill this whole wasteland! And then you'll pay dearly for the audacity to run away from me, little rubber ball!" Dalia waved her fist in the air, feeling breathless after doing it. "Ah... ahh... I've only raised my fist... nothing more!"
"For start, you should be well lying in bed, my love, and then you should be covered, you know it's much easier to get yourself resfried after an exhaustion of Will card!" Hannah came in, opening the door with her hip, carrying a small tray with Dalia's food.
"I'm too bored to keep lying down, but I cant play... and I'm sure they need me in the guild!" Dalia tried to declaim while Hannah knelt on the floor, forcing her daughter to lie down correctly with her eyes. "I'm going to lie down..."
"That's better, my little bug" Hannah waited for Dalia to be properly seated on the bed to put the tray on her legs. "Your soup warm and fried hake, soft so you dont have to chew too much!"
"Thanks mommy... can you give me the C-com? I want to look at my crystalnet forums and the news" Hannah narrowed her eyes, but the look of her daughter's puppy was too much for the giantess to refuse. Between sighs and giggles, Hannah took out the C-com from the pocket of her apron, leaving it to her daughter in bed. "Thank you, thank you, I love you so much, mommy!"
"And I love you, darling..." Hannah bent down to kiss her daughter's forehead gently, before getting up and leaving the room to leave her privacy.
"And... bingo!" Dalia lit the C-com, leaving the food aside and crawling on her bed to the foot of it. "This is going to be hard..." Dalia leaned horizontally at the foot of the bed, grabbing and lifting the mattress on one side while with the other she searched her code book. After finding it, (and 10 minutes without being able to move due to overexertion) Dalia returned to her place on the top of the bed, opening the code book.
Dalia wasnt an idiot, and she knew there was something wrong with her. Nobody, nobody from the people she had seen using the Willcard was so bad after the second one. And that added to the facts that Hades always encouraged her to use the second one, and that when she was little and talked about Hades as her imaginary friend, her mothers always pouted, they were proof enough.
Hades was real, and he was doing something bad to Dalia's body. But I'm not one of those who are waiting for solutions! I'm Dalia Reyes Wood! The miracle girl!
I'll tell you my plan so far.
I have been pointing in my secret diary since I was 7 years old every time I lose consciousness, how many days I spend in bed, how tired I am and other data that I considered important. In addition, I have pointed out how many days it takes me to see Hades again after each of these "holidays".
I have more than assumed that Hades has been with me from the beginning, so he must be born before me.
Where does it come to tell you all this? Well, this doesnt specifically for all of you. This goes to Professor Shaw.
I need you to open a portal to the past, and look for how is Hades and when he born.
I have no idea how long he will have been, but with a little logical thought we can get it out.
Humanity came to Novaterrae 31 years ago, so if Hades is a spirit of this world you must look for it for 30 years until 14, which is when I was born. There is a margin of 16 years in which my mothers faced the Master, so that Hades must be either before the Master (being a servant of him) or after his defeat (being one of the dark ones emerged from the remains of the Master)
Whatever it is, Professor Shaw, I need you to find out and tell me its origin before I hear Hades's voice again. I want to end this now that I have finally been able to use a FUN to defeat the Scarlet Key fragment! I have confidence... that I can do it! But I need to know what it is and what it does inside of me!
According to my notes and the average time I have taken, between fainting and seeing Hades again, 18/20 days pass, so I beg of you that now that you are short on vacation, hurry! I dont want Hades to bother me another summer!
