Chapter 266: Chapter 265: The Point of Madness

Aria sat on her mind of the void. She watched memories that haunt her life. Memories of Nolan suffering through the pain her second incarnation. And memories of Aria saving the world. At every world’s life span the darkness comes when the world tree casts its horrible shadow on the said world. Aria herself saw the memories of Ciara living a life that she thought would last. The darkness was manifested by the Overlord of the Demons. Still, his defeat only halted an enviable. The darkness always comes back.

The memories were like bubbles floating inside the void. Aria swam through the endless dark and arrived in front of the bubbles, touching it with her bare palm, and illuminating her mind. She saw knowledge of power. The knowledge that would make those who lust for power salivate.

Aria kept the shards of power but never touched them. The power was volatile and inside of them were strings that would attach itself to her soul. Once these strings were attached to her soul then there was no telling how her state of mind would change.

Aside from the torture that her incarnation does. She notices that her incarnation would find herself saving the world over and over again. She saw Ciara Alician, the Burnt Woman become the light itself. But that light of hers was not enough to fully save an entire world that had finally met darkness.

Among the memories, there were always Ciara Alician standing in front of the grave of the person she tortured and killed. Behind her was a storm of fury that shatters the land. The very world that she stood in these memories were breaking apart into fragments. She saw the location changes and every end of the loop Ciara Alician would have to witness the end of the world.

Her mistake was assuming that Ciara Alician didn’t break. That the woman in her memories was only experiencing the madness of her power. But in the end, the madness that overtook Ciara Alician was due to the first incarnation.

Oh, he died, why did he die and leave us? Does he not love us? Why did he not believe that we were alive? He hated us, that’s right, he never wanted us, and he left without telling us.

How could her thoughts turn for the worst?

The pain of the blade stabbed her body. The way the blood drained off her, and the cold puddle that formed around her. She had done that out of despair and yet Ciara Alician had twisted that. All that misguided rage that turned into madness.

In the end, she wanted to become a God that could save everyone. Yet she always stands on a mountain of corpses. A terrain of blood and shattered lands. She had become so powerful yet there was still no way to save everyone. She had been trying for years yet there was still no way to save them. No way to save them unless she becomes a being that could save them with a single thought.

When she realized that she abandoned the thought and thought of herself as evil. She thought of herself as a hypocrite who would want to save a world but at the same time torture Nolan Salvatore. It was when she decided to leave him alone in one instance that the horrible affection sprouted. In an instance, Nolan Salvatore was she did not meet Nolan Salvatore. He saw the man fighting madly without any direction. A tavern boy turned guardsman, and a guardsman turned into a veteran who fought until all he could.

There were instances where she found Nolan Salvatore dead before he could rise. Breaking his neck, through drowning, and many more deaths caused by falling. In one instance she saw him fall from the clouds and broke his limbs, and then failing to crawl away from beasts.

She had tried to extract the memories out of his head and found herself unable to do it. There was something that was blocking her powers and this made her crave what he knew. So she started a plan, a plan that involved Nolan Salvatore, and a plan that was different from their first meeting. However, when she did the plan she found that Nolan acted differently. He was stronger and he caused a different timeline. This timeline shook her. She knew that the loop has been going on for many years, but she never thought that there would still be a change. She followed this change without a word and acted as if she doesn’t know it.

Days of being carried had warmed this Ciara’s heart and by the time she was delivered to the three maidens of fate. She had found herself wanting him. She had thought that Nolan Salvatore would stick along as well. However, he left without a word and when she found him again they danced under the moon.

However, Ciara Alician’s true madness started at one specific time, and that time was when he fought Kaiser and was beheaded. She had named him her Knight of Salvatore and yet by the following days. She found her Knight without a head and her fury almost burned the whole world. It was the moment she lost hope and the moment where Ciara Alician, truly entered a state of madness, and it is the moment where the end of the loop had its beginning.

The day the Knight of Salvatore died, was the day the Burnt Woman almost turned the world into ashes. It was the day of madness and the point of madness. Aria recalled the howling pain of that madwoman and she could believe that she would have the audacity to burn the world.

The first meeting of the Burnt Woman and Knight of Salvatore happened the moment the Knight of Salvatore was slain by the son of the guardians that guards the gateway to other worlds. It was the day that the Burnt Woman was born and the day that stood out in the memories Aria had seen.

The day where the woman who wanted to save fully became a woman who yearned for more.
