Ryuu's head swivelled as he took into the sight around him, Yacadus for all intent and purpose was a weird blend between vanity and nature in a rather pleasant way.
The buildings were made up of precious materials, some of them looked as if they had been cast out of gold, yet at the same time, it had ample nature surrounding it to make it a rather pleasant place to live in.
"Do you like this place Ryuu?"
Ryuu looked towards Antariksh as he spoke, "Well I am not sure the nature in this place is nice but not comparable to Ayindril though, but then the houses most of them are cast out of gold, and I have never seen a house or rather houses in this case made up of gold, in fact, I do not know what to make of this place it is so confusing with conflicting ideas."
Antariksh simply smiled towards him as she spoke, "Gold is a useless material for us cultivators since it has no use to except maybe for decorating purposes as such many cultivators who like flashy things use gold most often than not to make their stuff look flashier."
Ryuu looked at one of the building as he squinted while he spoke, "I can understand where you are coming they truly are flashy enough to make your head turn so as not to get blinded."
Sylvana meanwhile groaned as she spoke, "Ugh, this is too gaudy for my taste, and that is also why I do not visit Yacadus too often.", she then turned her head towards a figure who was approaching them as a small smile formed on her face as she spoke, "Ah here comes Zarina."
Ryuu had met Zarina many times, and she almost looked like an older and regal version of Zywia but the person in front of her was far cry from the woman she knew as Zarina looked tired, distressed and every bit of her age.
As Zarina approached them she gave a small smile as she spoke, "Welcome to Yacadus.", her eyes then travelled towards Antariskh as she spoke, "Welcome sister and congratulations on your advancement."
Antariksh simply gave a nod as she replied back, "Thank you, sister."
"Also sorry about not being able to help you sister we have heard about the coup in Ayindril."
Maheswara shook his head as he spoke, "There is no need to apologize, child, though we also heard about the unfortunate time your family has stepped into and as such, we came as soon as possible, though, from the looks of it, it is even severe than we feared is everything, alright child."
At his question, Zarina almost looked ready to break into tears but held herself off as she spoke, "No uncle nothing is alright, it seems as if something or someone has cursed my family with bad luck both my children are suffering one after another."
As Ryuu heard her words a small frown began to form on his face as he clenched his hand hard, 'This is one of the reasons why I want to return, someone working underneath Cezary was found a traitor, someone who might have worked with since I have yet to know the identity of the said traitor, but most importantly I wish to stand and help Cezary during the period of inquiry but I am chained back home.'
Zarina's eyes then fell on Ryuu as she spoke with a small smile, "Ah look at me brother Ryuu has visited my home for the first time and here I am rambling on about my woes."
Ryuu quickly waved off her concern as he spoke, "No please there is no need to be so worked up about my visit I just came to visit Zywia, I heard about her and I wanted to meet her, also if possible I wish to meet Cezary as well."
Zarina shook her head as she spoke, "I am sorry Ryuu but Cezary has received another summon from the army as such he had left along with my husband a few minutes prior to your arrival and as for Zywia please follow me."
The group swiftly followed after her as they soon reached Zywia's place and Ryuu was grateful to Maheswara for helping him move so fast, as Zarina might have forgotten that in spite of everything Ryuu compared to them was only a measly cultivator of Peak Mystic Immortal Emperor realm and as such nowhere as fast the rest of the group were.
As they approached Zywia's room a trio of maid present simply bowed towards them as Zarina spoke in an authoritative tone, "Leave us."
The maids simply bowed as they left swiftly, as the group entered the room Ryuu could not help but let out a gasp at the sight in front of him, Zywia was beyond recognizable gone was her beauty as all that laid on the bed was a figure akin to a corpse.
His actions were mirrored by everyone present as Nuwa send a pitying glance towards Zywia, 'What we learned about them was a heavily watered-down version, the reality does not do them justice, if it were not for our ability to detect life force we would have thought her to be a dead person.'
Zarina sat beside Zywia as she gently caressed her head as she spoke in a soft voice, "Child who has come to visit you, your aunties here, your grandparents even your friend Ryuu is here, see they are all worried for you."
Zywia slowly opened her eyes as she looked towards her mother and was greeted by the worried visages of Ryuu's as well as his teachers' family.
Veena looked at her for a moment before she spoke, "Zarina why don't you let the two friends speak with each other alone for time being."
Zarina bit her lips before acquiescing with Veena's request as they leaving behind Ryuu alone with Zywia.
Zywia looked at Ryuu as she tried to reach him with his hand which he quickly held as he sat by her side before he spoke with a sad smile on his face, "You look horrible."
In a raspy voice, Zywia let out a chuckle as she spoke, "Please tell me something that I do not know already."
"Why are you doing this to yourself Zywia?"
"You know why."
"I have spent ten years by his side and I know that he would not approve of your behaviour so why are doing it."
"You would not understand."
"Then make me, Zywia make me."

"I… I cannot live in a world without him.""Then you dying would solve anything, he could have already reincarnated by now and could be anywhere, were you planning to follow him as well."
"Maybe."
"That is utter foolishness you know it Zywia, as he could be reborn anywhere or be born as any being."
Zywia glared at him as she spoke back with a bite, "What would you know?"
Ryuu glared back at her as he spoke, "I would know about it better than you, I myself had lost someone who was very dear too me too, I know how you feel."
"Yeah right, you are making that up Ryuu, if you have nothing else to say then leave."
Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "Oh I am not lying to you Zywia, I am not lying, and do you remember how I told you about my previous life."
As Zywia stayed silent Ryuu continued, "My egg and s.p.e.r.m donor only gave birth to me because their beloved child needed a donor for his bone marrow to survive and after my job was done I was thrown away from their lives, no matter what I did it was never enough for them and eventually I gave up and drifted away from their lives."
"A few years later I met a wonderful person, the person was at first my mentor, my lover and eventually my fiancée, along with her I had managed to cure a disease that was plaguing my planet for decades saving millions of lives."
"We became famous worldwide suddenly we were super heroes praised by everyone, even my s.p.e.r.m donor approached me he looked so proud and happy at my success so much that I was taken aback but then I learned the real motive behind his happiness, the cure we made was given away for free and that man wanted to exploit but he failed to pull wool over my eye and I refused and do you know what happened."
"What happened?"
As the hoarse and barely audible voice came to his ears Ryuu smiled inwardly as Zywia was listening to him which meant he had still some hope for her.
"Within a week there was a murder attempt on me and unfortunately I was having a romantic date with my fiancée, in the end, I survived because of my good luck while my fiancée died, and the best part was that it was my own s.p.e.r.m donor who ordered the hit on me, I broke down completely after that but my fiancée's cousin set me straight she made realized that I still had people who cared about me, namely my grandparents who had raised me as if I was their own son."
He then looked at Zywia directly into her eyes as he spoke, "Now Zywia answer me, what about your parents, your brother what about them? Are you just going to mercilessly and cruelly throw them away?"
Meanwhile on the outside of the room Nuwa had erected the barrier as others began to have a very serious talk on the course of action.
With a frown on her face Veena looked towards the door as she spoke, "So what have you planned to do next Zarina even a blind man can see that your daughter is almost a corpse."
Shamiran frowned at the blunt way her mother spoke but she knew that there was no way they could skirt around the already hopeless situation.
Maheswara sighed as he spoke, "Niece your daughter is hurting too much and I do not know how much we would be able to help you but please do not hesitate, Zywia is like my own grandchild and I refuse to lose her."
A small smile graced Zarina's face before she spoke with a soft tired sigh, "Last night I spoke with husband and we both came to the conclusion that we need to adjust her feelings and memories of that deceased child."
A stunt silence descended for a moment while Celestia could not help but speak out loud with disbelief in her voice, "Are you insane?"
