Chapter 124: Thorin And I Breakup Again? by Harem-Fan
Twelve distinct areas make up the Dragons Graveyard, and they represent all 12 elements found in the Dragons themselves...
This part of the world we arrived in is the air graveyard, where all the air, cloud, or mist type Dragons fall to when they enter.
If I wasn't in contact with Thorin when we entered, I could've fallen into the fire, air, or life graveyards based on my personal elements, but because Thorin and I share air, we ended up here.
So a group of necromancers from the Corpse Refining Sect would probably drop in the death graveyard with the Vampires.
But you get pulled in with the majority or the strongest combination.
Vali, a Death element, will most likely end up in the ice graveyard due to all the Ice users in his team.
Balder Knights, the Demonic Sect, and even the Elves built groups based on element probability to target a section of the world to hunt.
And right now, the dozens of people looking for me specifically are talking about where to search for me, and most of them are wrong.
Sadly, not all of the people looking for me are foes, and not knowing who is talking is making parsing my <Summons Divinity> more complicated.
Fortunately, knowing where the main players landed with my ability is good too, because I know most are staying still to break through once they find a safe location, like we are also doing.
In a strange way, the Dragons Graveyard is a representative of the 12 Elemental Planes, and border each other similarly.
This means the air graveyard area boarders the fire, water, lightning, ice, and light graveyards.
Air is furthest from earth, gravity, time, death, dark, and life.
Where the Ice Palace falls is surrounded by dark, time, water, and closer to air in some regards.
Anyway, the reason having Planer Knowledge is good is it is like you have a geography map in your mind for making future exploration plans.
So based on the Ice Palace's element and my possible three elements, they will come from the ice graveyard to air first, so they have to pass both water and dark, maybe time, phew!
When the Amazons arrive, they get dumped into the fire graveyard no matter what, so thank goodness Thorin didn't have Fire or I'd be screwed..
While following Baihu in her fast Kyuubi form, Thorin looked around at the sea of bones and asked his burning question.
"It seems too quiet, why aren't there Dragons arriving or more foes? We have been here for about five hours and we only killed some low Circle Undead?"
Taki Tsuki is in front of me and guiding my horse, so I looked over to Thorin while holding her waist.
"Just like with the Royal Realm, I opened the portal one or two days early, so the Dwarf, Amazon, and Wastelands portals are still opening and not yet letting the others in."
"So Dragons can't enter as well. We only killed the sickest and weakest Dragons that had no real power and the stronger ones will force their way in later."
Thorin then asked an awkward sounding question.
"Loki, I accidentally broke your magic item you left in our room, it dropped and broke. How much will it cost to get it fixed or a new one?"
Slap~! I already knew Thorin was probing if I saw what was on the item, so I faked surprise and acted dumb.
"Holy shit! I forgot that I had used that Image Stone that night... Shit, that would let me know what happened that night... Thorin, I recorded what happened to me while drinking that night, did you see it? Tell me, it is important."
I could tell he was deliberating on if he should cover for me or tell me what he saw.
Thorin is torn between duty and our brotherhood.
He knows that he should tell me about Xia Bing's plot to sleep with me and claim it was Thorin's child.
He knew that if he showed Owen the video, neither he or I would be blamed for what the 5th Queen plotted.
"I... I erased it, because it showed Queen Xia Bing entering my room. While I was drinking, I fell asleep and didn't know who slept in my bed, but it was her. The person who slept with you was another Ice Palace female disciple, who I don't know."
Baihu got my mental message to stop, and we all did.
I think Thorin is trying to protect me in his own dumb way, and I call him on it.
"You weren't drunk, you were breaking through. Did Queen Xia have sex with me and you are covering for me? I didn't make a move on Xia Bing..."
"If you lie to Owen, you will break his and our trust. If Queen Xia has a problem, owen deserves to see her ugly side. Show him the recording and expose her to him."
Guilt for being exposed flashed in his eyes, but he said.
"If Xia Bing says she slept with me, then she did. You were passed out and don't know the real story. Why can't I attract Xia Bing but you can?"
Thorin is mixing envy and jealousy into his own self worth and attempting to protect me, and I shook my head.
"Xia Bing and I had too much to drink, and both of us probably don't remember. It was an accident, so just tell Owen the truth of what you saw. The only person here who is probably or maybe in the wrong might be her. But Owen will forgive her I'm sure. It was an accident, right?"
"Loki, Queen Xia drunkenly came to me, and we slept together, that is what she will say... I will just accept the consequences, why can't you trust me?"
"Sigh, Thorin, I also saw the recording, because I set two devices that night. Just hand your copy to Owen. I know what she did to me, and you cannot take the blame for it."
Humiliation for getting caught, and a bit of unknown anger bubbled, and he said.
"If you knew, why not tell me?! Why pretend to not know? You didn't trust me, Loki... I'm disappointed."
Taki had already left to be with the others to give us space for our brotherly fight, and I pointed out.
"First, I wanted to know if you saw the recording, if you didn't, that was for the best. Second, if you did, I hoped you would be the one to turn in Xia Bing's plot to cheat..."
"If she publicly implicates you, it will be bad for you, making you look like you and she are really working together. You don't have to protect me, Thorin. I am innocent, okay?"
Thorin made a dumb mistake in his heart, and held out his hand.
"Fine, then give me your copy and I will make sure Owen finds out the truth."
Buzz~! I took out the Recording Stone and gave it to him, and he nodded.
He pressed play on it to assure it was the recording he had, and he nodded.
"It wasn't a second device after-all, just a copy you made, Loki."
Thorin was smart and noticed it was from the same position and not another view!
Bang~! Then Thorin smashed it, and looked at my expression of seeing an expensive toy break.
"Loki, I do this for your own good. It shows her getting a Gu, and that is something a recording can't fix. It is better to let the plan work than tell the truth."
I looked at him in surprise, because Angelica guessed this as one of the crazy possible plots... Perhaps Xia Bing and Thorin have a past?
"Xia Bing absolutely doesn't have a Gu in her, because I don't have one for her... That statement was a lie."
Thorin didn't believe me one bit, and thinks Xia Bing is Love Gu'd for sure.
"I'll talk with Queen Bing and settle this without bringing it up with Owen... That night never happened, understand? Don't tell him, he has been through enough, and your schemes and plots to tear up their marriage won't work this time..."
"If Xia Bing isn't Love Gu'd then she won't make things difficult for us, right?"
I'm frustrated with Thorin's self righteous heart and blurt out the truth.
"Xia Bing has a twin sister, and I think they are plotting against Owen to put Vali on the throne, dammit man! Just turn her in, because I know you still have a copy!"
Thorin smirks with ridicule.
"A twin, and putting Vali on the throne, where is your proof for such a stupid and unbelievable claim? I am not an idiot, Loki."
I was actually speechless, because my proof was from Summons Divinity, and there is no proof?!
He saw he finally won an argument with me, and he said.
"Loki, I don't want us to break up again like with Lana. I think for now, you and I need some space to let things play out. If you find me absolute proof of Xia Bing having a sister and putting Vali on the throne, then I will help..."
"Till then, I will separate now and find my own adventures... You have your Summons to protect you, and I am strong enough, plus I have your talismans and pills to get me out of jams..."
"Loki... I hope you can stop trying to fix everything. I know we are trying to protect Myst, but have you ever thought your plots are bringing Myst into trouble, like you did on Earth?"
"I love you as my brother, but I hate your huge shadow. I won't betray you, brother, but I can't be your sidekick anymore... I want to be a Protagonist, Hero, and maybe a Legend?"
"If you need me for rule six, I will help, but for now, let fate just carry us on our own paths, because I want to stand out with my own luck."
This time he didn't punch me when he left, but the blow to my heart was twice as bad as when I betrayed him with Lana, because...
Owen told me that God Loki triggered the events of Ragnarok by scheming against Baldr out of jealousy and plotting... The God Loki's family was then abused for his crimes, and his actions led him to fight the Gods.
As I watched Thorin riding off to the lands of the lightning graveyard, I held back my tears that wanted to fall, due to the fact I am a real piece of scheming and manipulating shit.
I say my machinations are to help, but am I causing Myst to actually meet a bad ending, like Earth did?
(Prophecy and Fate from Earth has scarred his soul, so he is working through its shadows. This is temporary as he has no memories of it, just Owen's stories.)
Baihu, Shehuang, and even Taki Tsuki without a link could tell I was in a bad place, but they left me to think for a few minutes.
The moment I was doubting my role on Myst, the Dryad's Heartbow in my hands broke my spiraling doubts.
I felt its spirit, and a warm feeling entered my heart.
"This isn't Earth, and I am not plotting murder like the old me did. As long as I am protecting Myst and Yggi, then a little shamelessness is fine. I'm not hurting Thorin or Owen maliciously, even if my actions are dumb sometimes, sigh..."
"Okay Thorin, you want me to find proof, huh? Well, Xia Gu is here to find me, so let me get you proof then!"
I turned to my worried girls and said.
"I'm good! Brothers fight... We will probably make up in the future... Probably!"
So with my Summons, we found the rest spot for the night...
