* BEAUZ & JVNA - Crazy [NCS Release] *
"Lady Raven," Abbadon's voice was calm and collected, yet filled with concern. "Are they close by?"
Although his mistress has not uttered a single word after teleporting back to their planet, Earth, he could not help but feel uneasy, not because he was afraid of facing the angel invasion, but rather because of his mistress' behaviour.
Raven was quite calm, yet she wore an anxious expression on her face. Abbadon knew that she wasn't afraid of facing the invasion either, no…
Raven was afraid of facing her sister, friend, and family…
She was afraid of meeting the person that she was supposed to protect, yet let down…
She was afraid of keeping her composure in front of her little Maya…
How could she greet her again after everything that's happened? Will she accept her back? Will she forgive her? Will she be willing to come back and be their Maya again?
Will everything be back to normal? If not now, will it, in the future?
All of these questions kept on penetrating Raven's fragile mental defences. She wasn't ready to face Maya yet and she knew it. However, she couldn't possibly allow herself not to!
Everything was her fault. She had obviously failed her and could not protect her!
But…
But her heart could not possibly be unscathed after everything that had happened!
Raven needed to meet Maya and work things out with her! Otherwise… she'd be no more than her old lost self, just like before the two of them became friends…
Just like when they both were enslaved by Lady Luck... Back then, Maya and Raven were each other's hope and salvation, the two could not have survived if it wasn't for each other's help!
Even though she could never forgive herself for letting her little Maya down, she still needed her forgiveness like she needed oxygen and she was planning on doing absolutely anything to get it!
"Lady- Lady Raven…" Abbadon's heart was aching while observing the unexplainable expression in his mistress' milky white face.
It was a mix of uncertainty, agony, fear, anxiety, and many other conflicting emotions that Abbadon has never observed before.
For some reason, his mighty mistress seemed so weak and fragile like a thin piece of glass that would break the moment she was exposed to the slightest breeze…
Seeing Raven like that was agonizing, even for someone like Abbadon… no, especially for someone like Abbadon who had the utmost admiration and respect for his young mistress!
"Huh? Uhm, sorry, I was deep in thoughts. What is it, Abbadon?" Her facial expression instantly changed as an apologetic smile surfaced across her face.
Even though the smile would be enough to charm any stranger on the streets, it only caused Abbadon's heart to feel more pain.
"Apologies for interrupting-"
"No, no." Raven immediately waved her hand and interrupted Abbadon. "It's quite alright. I need to get serious and gather my thoughts together after all, thank you. But anyway, what is it that you needed?"
"I understand," he replied grimly. "I- Lady Raven, I was wondering… why did you call me back? Not only that, but you came to get me personally.
"I understand that it's not something you'd normally do as you were the one to give me the order of recruiting the residents of that planet inside the portal…
"I had first assumed that the war had already started… but it is clearly not the case," he said while looking up at the sky then the ground below.
No signs of abnormalities were detected. On the contrary, everything seemed rather normal; people were being evacuated as per plans. It seemed that they were actually ahead of schedule!
"So I was wondering," Abbadon continued. "How can I be of any use to you, Lady Raven? Could it be that you have a bad feeling? Do you think they'll attack us soon and that's why you need me here?"
*Sigh*
"Hm, unfortunately, it is more than just feelings," Raven sighed after hearing Abbadon's concerns. "I am not sure if you're aware, but I have a skill that enables me to see some glimpses of the future…"
Abbadon widened his eyes in surprise. It was indeed his first time hearing of something like this!
If that skill indeed enabled his mistress to see the future, would she not be too overpowered and unbeatable?
She could easily predict everything her opponent would do and instantly turn the tables!!
Seeing the smile of anticipation on her subordinate's face, Raven instantly waved her hand with a dismissive smile. "It's not as great as it sounds…
"The skill was called Premonition before, and it had the ability to show me random future events that would cause major changes in the time flow or affect me greatly.
"The first time I used it, or rather acquired it, was when the first S ranked monster appeared and threatened to hurt Maria and… and Maya…" shaking her head with a sad look, Raven continued. "Anyway, the skill had just recently evolved after I finished my training a few weeks back when I had undergone my Mana Refinement process.
"The skill now is called Oracle. It's an upgrade that, in addition to the previous function, enables me to focus on a specific event and predict a possible outcome.
"I obviously used the skill to predict the time of the invasion and… well, *sigh* it's happening tomorrow at dawn…"
Abbadon seemed deep in thought as listened carefully to his mistress. "Uhm, I understand. What are the next steps, Lady Raven?" He asked with confidence, not showing a hint of weakness.
He knew that Raven was ought to be shaken with the revelation. The anticipation from her encounter with her sister must be weighing heavily on her, yet she had delivered the news as if she was discussing the weather; with a neutral expression.
"The next steps?" Raven tilted her head. "We rest, of course.. It is going to be a long war and we have to be ready for it."
