Chapter 952: If only
The Mother Whale hesitated for a moment.
After a deep breath, she nodded slowly. "I will come with you," she said.
Even if she was scared, she did not want to lose this opportunity. This may be the last opportunity for her to have revenge for her husband and father. Their lives were unjustly taken from them. All this time, she had been hiding, knowing that she couldn't do anything. With Karyk in front of her, could she afford to hide again? Could she still justify this cowardice?
She knew that she could not do that anymore. She might never be able to forgive her if she lost this opportunity and her son lost his life in the future because of it. With the Mother Whale in agreement, Karyk sighed in relief. The Mother Whale was not only faster but also stronger. With her, he could make this journey a lot shorter. It was also going to be a lot safer with the Ruler of these Oceans as his aid. "When are you planning to go there?" the Mother Whale asked. "As soon as possible. If you are ready, I can leave right now."
The Mother Whale nodded. She reached out her hand and held Karyk's hand as she jumped into the water with him. Inside the water, she swam like a mermaid, getting away from her son. After creating sufficient distance, she started transforming into her real form, a majestic great whale. Karyk was initially shocked when the Mother Whale jumped in the water and took her with him. But when she transformed, he found himself on her back. The Mother Whale looked at her son, who hadn't heard half their conversation. He only heard what Karyk said, and even that appeared vague. The only thing he understood was that his mother was willing to help Karyk. "Return home, and for the next few days, don't roam around. You are not allowed to leave home until I return," the Mother Whale warned her son. "But mother..." The young whale tried to complain. However, his complaint wasn't heard. "Do as I said!"
The young whale could never ignore the command of her mother, especially since he was scared of her. He did do things that she did not ask her to do. He even tried to save Karyk when his mother had warned him against saving Children of Heaven. But even then, he did not tell her because he was scared of her. With her issuing a command directly, he could feel that she was being serious. "I will do as you say." He turned around and returned to the depths of the water, even if it was just for this moment. "Are you sure he would listen to you?" Karyk asked, even after the Young Whale left. "He always listens to me. He should be fine as long as he doesn't leave home," the Mother Whale stated. Karyk did not say anything else. He knew better than her. The Young Whale was slightly rebellious. Even if he did not act like that in front of her, he did do things that she advised against. He couldn't help but wonder if he was going to listen to her this time. 'I hope he does listen.' ....
For the next few days, Karyk traveled with the Mother Whale. As far as his eyes could see, there was only a vast sea. He had only seen a few Islands along the way, but they were very rare. Another thing he noticed was that the Mother Whale was certainly much faster. But there was something else about her. Even when she moved so fast, he still could not feel any winds brushing against his skin. It was as if she was controlling the wings to make sure that he wasn't pushed back. This made the journey a lot smoother. He could even sleep peacefully at night, as if he was actually on an Island. When it came to food, he did not have to worry about that either. He had gathered some fruits on one of the islands and carried them with him. "This world is truly fascinating." Karyk laid on the Whale's back, looking at the stars above. "How different is this place compared to where you came from?" The Mother Whale asked. In this long journey, they had barely talked. Karyk had already received every information he could gather from her. "This place is very similar. In fact, it is a bit too similar to where I came from," Karyk replied. The sky was similar. Even the position of the stars were also the same when compared to his destroyed world.
If he didn't know better, he would have thought that he was back in his world. Still, he found this place to be very fascinating. Was it really a coincidence that this world looked so similar to his world?
"Does your world also have beings like me?"
"Talking Great Whales?" Karyk asked. "I don't think there were any. We did not have any talking beasts... Unless you count the beasts that call themselves humans."
"Humans...? What are those beasts like?"
"Dangerous."
"Are they strong like you?"
"They might not be strong like me, but what made them dangerous was their ambitions. Even in a world where magic did not exist, they found ways to destroy the world."
Karyk could not help but look back to his days as a Prince. He hadn't awakened any magic, and he still thought that he was a normal human. He still did not know what might have happened if humans hadn't destroyed the world in their wars. Could he still have awakened? Would he still be living an ordinary life there?
He knew it was impossible. Even if he hadn't awakened, he was still a being that did not belong to that world. After he reached adulthood, he wasn't going to grow older. Even if that world wasn't destroyed, it was only a matter of time before his life changed.
