CHAPTER 48: MY NAME IS EVELYNN

*Thud.. *

Ava’ross silently fell to the cold ground!.

With no one to mourn for his pathetic death.

"What! Why are you two looking at me like that. Its not like I’m a ghost, now am I.. " She asked her voice playful. "And didn’t you wanted to kill him too, since he killed your family and all. I just helped you regarding that by killing it. Won’t you thank me! Since even getting killed by me is a privilege in itself you know!." She added.

Both Black and Zephyr didn’t know what to say by her unexpected sentence.

Therefore, they just stared at her in caution.

She had an amused expression on her face. Entertained by their cautious nature.

"Oh! You little baby’s, if I really wanted to kill you or even harm you. I wouldn’t be standing here talking to you both! No. Just look at him for example. Hehe! " She uttered trying to reassure them that she didn’t have any evil intentions.

By her calm and patient tone one could tell that she was totally looking at them like some little children’s lost in the Woods. And considering the age difference between them she wasn’t wrong either.

Upon hearing her and understanding that what she said was probably true, they looked at each other, finally relaxing a bit.

They were both on edge because of her unexpected appearance, then her ultimately killing Ava’ross with just the flicker of her finger like squeezing a bug had put them even more on edge.

Although they didn’t even know when she arrived before them or just how did she kill Ava’ross they still chose to take a leap of faith and trust her for the time being, regarding her with a much more friendly and welcoming expression this time.

Nevertheless when thay again shifted their attention towards her they finally noticed the difference between her and themselves. Although they weren’t naked and had the fur of the monsters and magical beast they hunted in the caverns draped around their bodies however compared to her they looked more like baggers.

She was dressed in a sweeping black robes that gracefully descended till her ankles. The hem of the robe adorned with delicate golden designs, her opulent black robes shimmering with a faint gleam. Her knee length dark violet hair flowed like a shimmering, starry waterfall glimmering with a violet hue. Her skin like a canvas of undisturbed snow was both pristine and flawless.

Her enchanting face was adorned with a pair of dark amethyst eyes each shinning like a regal jewel sparkling with an unspoken sovereignty.

Black took a deep breath, and with a composed step, stepped forward and asked, "Who are you!." His voice solemen yet still radiating with a certain authority.

"Oh My! How rude of me!" She blinked. Continuing, she introduced herself...

"My name is Evelynn. You can call me lady Evelynn too! Black and Zephyr." She uttered her hand covering her lips, a soft giggle escaping her velvet lips. Her amethyst eyes like twin nebulous stars sparkling with a playful glint.

"How do you know our name!?" Zephyr questioned, Wide eyed.

"Oh! You little serpent! I’ve been following you both since the day you left that small cave!." She responded, her voice calm and melodious. Looking at Zephyr.

"What?" Black.

"How?" Zephyr.

"Why?" Black.

"My! Aren’t we eager! Don’t rush! I would tell you anyway! That’s what I’m here for! Alright." Said Evelynn, entertained.

"There is no answer for ’what’. As for ’How’ — well you can say I’m very strong!" As she said that she directly vanished right before there eyes like there wasn’t anyone standing there. As though what they were talking to was a mere illusion of their imagination.

Zephyr looked at Black "where is she?" She questioned.

"You’re asking me who should I ask!?" Black questioned back! Looking at her.

"You should ask me" Evelynn uttered, as she appeared behind them putting her hands on their shoulders.

"..." Black blinked! Astonished.

While Zephyr, "Kyaaaa!! " She screamed and jumped on Black! Spooked!. Black caught her, carrying her.

"It’s alright zephyr! You can relax now!" Black consoled her! Reassuring her.

Zephyr peeked her head buried in his chest looking at Evelynn! Embarrassed.

Who herself was quiet entertained by zephyr, "Adorable!!" She uttered. As a direct result causing zephyr to become even more embarrassed!.

Because of zephyr’s unexpected action the previous solemn atmosphere, became more genuine and welcoming. Evelynn nodded as she continued...

"Anyways moving forward towards your next question! You asked why I was following both of you! Right." She spoke looking at Black.

Black nodded. Seeing his response she too continued...

"Say. Tell me — What is your identity!?" She asked him another question instead of directly answering his. A shrewd smile spreading across her lips.

"What do you mean — Who I’m — I’m Black! A Quantiarch Progen- " Abruptly his eyes widened, he again regarded her with a cautious expression, as he asked her again, his voice demanding, "What do you mean by that, Evelynn! Didn’t you say we could trust you!?"

Black moved closer towards zephyr, his hand grasping hers.

"My! My! So hot-headed! So cautious! Although I’ve to say its been a really long time since someone addressed me in such an informal manner! Directly by my name too! Truly the arrogance of a Proginetor! I’m impressed — So I shall forgive you this one time! Black " Evelynn uttered. Continuing...

"So where were we, right. You said what do I mean, right. Its really quite simple, A Progenitor was born in a world so its only natural for the World Spirit itself to know about it. So yeah Elytheria herself sent me here. More like I overheard her talking with those old farts and came looking for you." Finished Evelynn as she muttered the last sentence with a low voice. Nonetheless Black still heard her clearly since all his attention was focusing her.

"World Spirit!? Old farts!? What do you mean!." Black blinked with a perplexed expression.

"Oh! Nothing. You’ll learn about them in due time, don’t focus on the useless stuff. Got that." She replied with a non-chalant wave of her hand.

Although Black wanted to argue that he wanted to know, in the end he still decided to let the matter go.

"So dose that mean you’re from the world above! The world outside of these caverns." Suddenly Zephyr asked from the side.

Upon hearing her Black looked towards zephyr, ’how didn’t I think of that’ he thought, then he shifted his attention towards Evelynn, waiting for her response.

His bright eyes burning with both excitement and anticipation.

Evelynn too didn’t keep them hanging and swiftly replied her words ringing like a thunderstorm in there ears..

Her velvet lips parting, her melodious! even elegant voice echoed...

"Yes just as you’ve guessed it, I’m indeed from the place outside of these caverns!." She confirmed. Nodding with a smile.

"Really... " Screamed Black and Zephyr at the same time! Simultaneously.

"How does it like outside" Black.

"Is it always dark there too!? Like in the caverns here!." Zephyr.

"How dose the lifrforms living in the outside look like!?" Black.

"Is it true that there is a giant ball of fire burning in the skys!?" Zephyr.

Both echoed with a bunch of weird and absurd questions just like some countryside children.

"Well. After you leave these caverns. Why don’t you find out yourself. How dose the people there live or if its always dark outside or not. Alright!." She replied, her voice calm.

"Really. Then, when are we leaving and how! Do we have to climb these giant tree roots to go out!?" Zephyr uttered asking a bunch of random question again.

Evelynn looked at zephyr and replied, "No we don’t have to climb these tree roots. As for when, we’ll be leaving soon but before that Let me ask you something!." She finished.

"What?" Black questioned.

"Are you both willing to take me as your master!" She question.
