Date: Unspecified Time: Unspecified Location: Myriad Realms, Lil. Red Storm realm, Seed World, Living Section Souls that the Breath of Erosion completely eroded in the river of souls were essentially no different from the souls of newborns. Like fresh canvases, they had no ideas, opinions, or dreams—just pure potential, waiting to be shaped. Wyatt saw them as ideal candidates for creating Calamity Daughter Gems, especially those capable of inheriting the cursed bloodline, which he believed demanded willing submission and obedience to him. His theory had been validated with the birth of the unnamed blood-kin-tier Daughter Gem.
However, just like newborns, these daughter gems were born weak. They lacked any established realm and had to start from scratch, practicing their active soul control percentage. On top of that, Wyatt noticed that their innate talents played a significant role in determining which skills they inherited from him through the cursed bloodline. For example, the unnamed Daughter Gem had only inherited SSS-rank Blood Curse Immunity and SSS-rank Blood Curse Incarnation from his extensive arsenal of skills derived from the blood rule.
This method of producing blood-kin-tier Calamity Daughter Gems, while simple in concept—akin to giving birth to children—was as challenging as raising them. Wyatt already had his hands full managing and training his Primordial Spirits, working to establish a proper system among them to avoid growing them with a messed up head. The thought of raising an army of Daughter Gems on top of that felt overwhelming.
Still, Dalie had eagerly taken up the task, her excitement for nurturing the new kins was higher than before. However, Wyatt had his reservations. Watching her bounce around like an overenthusiastic older sibling didn't exactly inspire confidence. After all, Dalie herself was still a child in many ways.
Wyatt sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose as he imagined an army of blood-kin-tier Daughter Gems who were as emotionally stunted as their "older sister." That was the last thing he needed. 'One messed-up me in this world is enough, he thought to himself, a wry smile tugging at his lips.
Shaking his head, Wyatt glanced at Dredre, who was blinking at him curiously, trying to decipher the thoughts running through his mind. Breaking his silence, he asked, "Does this mean you can revive beings more effectively if they've died very recently—like, those who died right in front of you?"
"Yes," Dredre confirmed with a cheerful nod. "I can just grab the soul as it's making its way to the river of souls and put it back into its corpse. Then, with a sprinkle of my pixie dust, I can nurse them back to perfect health." She spoke confidently, as if bringing someone back from the dead was as simple as watering a plant.
Wyatt blinked at her, startled by the question, before shaking his head with a small smile. "Nope, I'm not planning on it. Because you're going to revive me, right? Unless..." he paused, raising an eyebrow playfully. "You're saying you don't plan to? Then I guess I am doomed." He chuckled, trying to lighten the mood, though the sight of distressed Dredre tugged at his heartstrings.
Dredre's eyes widened, and she quickly shook her head, her wings fluttering with urgency. "No! I'll always find your soul and revive you, no matter what!" she declared with conviction.
Before Wyatt could respond, she flew over to his forehead, her small hands gripping it as if holding on to him for dear life. Then, leaning down, she kissed it gently.
A radiant golden light burst forth from her tiny body, enveloping them both. Wyatt's eyes widened in awe as he felt the light seep into his body, marking his primordial soul. It was more than just a promise—it was a bond, unbreakable and eternal.
As the glow faded, Dredre floated down to his eye level, staring straight into his gaze. Her expression was resolute, yet her voice softened with a hint of vulnerability. "How can I travel the myriad realms without my trusted partner? It would be lonely."
Wyatt's chest tightened at her words. This was the first time she had spoken about her dream since she'd first confided in him long ago. He smiled gently, reaching up to pat her on the head. "You won't have to," he said softly. "We'll explore it together, I promise."
Dredre nodded as she took the gemstones from Wyatt and then carefully stored them in her private storage space along with her other precious belongings which were mostly seeds. Then her wings fluttered softly as if relieved, and for a moment, the room felt lighter, the weight of the conversation replaced by an unspoken understanding.
