Chapter 34: Complicated Answers

Zion was surprised when Amaris asked Athanasia. The rest looked at Amaris then turned their gaze to Zion.

"Ari, why are you asking that?" Zion frowned.

She sighed. She knew he would react that way but she was curious about what she really looked like. And if there was a possibility that she could go to Tartarus to reclaim her original body, she would definitely do it.

"I-I wanted to know if there's a chance to get my original body back." She said.

Athanasia understood what Amaris felt. Her anima transmigrated for centuries and with a mortal body, there's a possibility that it was also getting exhausted.

"There's a way to go to Tartarus. But the problem is getting your original body. From what I know, it's being guarded by the Centimanes. They are monsters with fifty heads and one hundred arms and there were three of them so let's put that aside for now." Athanasia said.

Amaris pouted. She already knew it wasn't that easy. She just wanted to know the possibilities.

"Do you know who cursed her?" Zion asked.

It was the main reason they went to meet Athanasia anyway so he used the chance to change the topic.

"What do you mean she's cursed?" Athanasia frowned.

Then Zion told her about what has been happening to Amaris. The demon princess was surprised to hear it. She couldn't believe that there was someone who would do that to her.

"Is there a way to get my memories back?" Amaris asked.

Athanasia didn't answer for a moment, making Amaris anxious. She was beginning to lose hope. She looked at Zion, her eyes full of sadness.

"Memory restoration." Athanasia suddenly answered.

Amaris' face lit up as well as Zion's.

"There's a way?" She exclaimed.

"You could regain your lost memories but I'm not sure if it includes restoring your lost feelings." The princess said.

Amaris turned to Zion as if asking if that was okay. Zion nodded. It was still better than nothing. At least she could remember him and maybe her heart will follow.

"Do you know someone who could do it?" Zion asked.

"A pure blooded vampire could do it, Damien." Athanasia answered while looking at Zion directly into his eyes.

She was trying to see Zion's reaction by mentioning the vampire's name. She wanted to see how much Zion could risk just to help his Luna.

Amaris felt a tension from Zion when Athanasia mentioned the name Damien. She knew that werewolves and vampires were enemies for a long time. It stopped when the peace treaty was signed.

"Love, I can still wait." Amaris whispered.

Zion smiled then touched her on the cheek.

"I'll send him a message to come to the pack house. He'll be there." Zion answered.

Amaris felt excited and happy. She hugged Zion and kissed her on the lips. She blushed when she realized there were people around them.

The rest was just looking at her amused by her reaction. She was so innocent to be someone who would cause destruction to both worlds. Athanasia thought to herself.

"I would like to ask also about the voice I heard in the pack house. Maybe you know what it means." Amaris said, looking at her aunt.

"Go ahead. What is it?" Athanasia nodded.

"Ere bi te aime, afflition les de luna."

Athanasia frowned. Is it Selene's voice that she heard? Is she trying to help her daughter or making a mess of her memories? She thought.

"Do you know what it was about?" Amaris asked again.

Athanasia shook her head. "I-I'm sorry. I don't know."

"How about the prophecy written in the Book of Malum?" Zoila asked after.

Ophelia showed Athanasia the book. The princess glared at the witch. She knew Ophelia went to Zuriel's chamber again to steal it.

"I borrowed it." Ophelia pouted.

Ophelia was the current High Priestess of the Underworld. She's a witch who also lived in Aramoor City. They serve the Demon God Orcus. The High Priestess can only be summoned by the Demon King during rituals and ceremonies blessed by Orcus. But Ophelia was special. She could go to the Underworld anytime she wanted.

The witches have been living with the Terrans for centuries. But after the classical period of witch hunts in early Modern Europe around 1450 to 1750, the witches hid their territory by using a powerful spell to protect themselves. Nobody really knows where they live, and even if you do you wouldn't be able to enter their territory unless you are invited by one of them.

Athanasia shook her head then turned the pages. She already knew that the last part of the prophecy was erased. She sighed then looked at Zion and Amaris.

"The only one who could tell what was in this book is Phoebus, the Prorocisté. He was the one who could only see the future." Athanasia answered.

Zion was staring into Athanasia's eyes. He knew that the demon princess was hiding something.

"Where is he?" Amaris asked.

"He's not here in Terra. He's also a Titan God who chose to live on the second planet. He's in Mirrikh." Ophelia was the one who answered.

"The red planet?" Zoila frowned.

Amaris frowned. It was hard to get all the information from those who were involved with her.

Mirrikh means fire, formerly known as Mars, the second planet found by the Elysian Elders that could sustain life of any creature. There were some Terrans who moved in Mirrikh and most mythical creatures who lived there didn't belong to any clan.

"Is it dangerous to go there?" Amaris asked again.

Zion sighed deeply. He understood that she badly wanted to know everything, but they didn't really know who they were up against. So they have to plan everything carefully.

"Mirrikh was not as peaceful as Terra. Creatures who were exiled from their clans go there and they already formed their own clan, the Night Howlers. They are a group of werewolves, vampires, demons and all mythical beings. I don't think they are very welcoming considering they were creatures who suffered from different kinds of tortures." Ophelia further explained.

"Why don't you focus first on getting your memories back? The rest will follow." Athanasia suggested when she saw her niece pouting.

Amaris nodded. She didn't really have a choice anyway, getting her memories and remembering Zion were her priorities.
