The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

At the middle of the night.

Right at the moment of great darkness, at the edges of Hyfelia something strange could… or couldn't be seen by the naked eye.

In the deep forest, surrounded by trees and shadowed by the leafs, a silhouette was seen blitzing past the area. The figure moved so fast that if anybody could see it, they would wonder if they had really seen it or was it just their imagination.

"I need to get there fast."

The silhouette said in a young girl's tone as it moved forward towards its trajectory. If the line of path could be imagined, then anyone could see that the girl was going in a straight path towards the doc's house.

She was still miles away from his place but at the speed she was moving it wouldn't take long before she arrives before the place.

"The doctor needs to know."

Even as her breath hindered due to the distance, she didn't stop and continued on her path. She remembered the good doctor, how could she not? He was someone that had helped her immensely on her path for vengeance.

When things were rough and she couldn't even get any rats to fill her belly, it was the doctor that gave her a bread. After she had sustained great injury killing that bald bastard, it was the doctor who had helped her heal.@@novelbin@@

And when she had battled that… monster, it was the doctor again who had helped her by giving her some medicines that helped out with the pain.

Rebecca knew the doctor wasn't a good person. He had his share of crimes with the bald Tax. He was someone who once had taken great measures before to secure money from the people by overbilling them.

But after seeing her situation, the guy wavered… then eventually he stopped his dealings and completely cut off that part in his life. Still, that didn't mean his crimes were gone, they were still there and will always be there.

But Rebecca could see how he was trying his best to pay for them. So even while he was a bad person, he has a right for a second chance.

'A person life is forfeited the moment they land themselves in the dark path.'

Her master's words reverberated through her mind as she shook her head.

No, master. He still has a right… when he's trying so hard then why shouldn't he be forgiven for his past self?

'Forget him… he will die soon.'

This is what her master said, that made her come out at this late night towards the doctor's house. If her master was correct then that Monster might try something with the doctor.

She couldn't let anything like that happen… even if it meant fighting him once more.

"Woosh" "Step!"

She gave a high jump from a tree branch and landed before the small house. The doctor's house was unusually small for someone of his wealth. It wasn't always like this, long ago, he had a large house with many female attendants but later when he redeemed himself, he sold off all those items and gave them to the needy.

Without a thought, she quickly opened the door of the house. Her quick move costed her as she heard a wire being cut off and a timer start to ring. But it wasn't the most shocking thing for her.

Before her stood the doctor, tied to a pole as his skin was peeled off in many places while all his fingers from both hands and legs were cut off.

Rebecca stood in place, fear stricken on her face. Hearing the new arrival of someone, the doctor looked up, his face had long lost its fear and replaced it with hopelessness.

But seeing it was Rebecca, his eyes widened momentarily and he tried to speak, "…n"

"Wh- What Doctor?" Rebecca asked."

"…un"

Not able to hear anything, she went closer, "…run"

Rebecca felt confused for a moment before her eyes widened in realization. Unfortunately, as soon as she did, so did the ticking sound went out and something ignited, exploding the whole house in tandem.

"BOOM!"

A huge explosion resounded and the place surrounding 100 meters was blown away.

As the flames raged on and destruction occurred, two figures stood at a faraway place. One was impartial, while the other was looking at her result in horror.

The impartial one said while his gaze lingered at the burning place, "It wasn't your fault… he was going to die whether or not we had helped him."

"Bu… but… he did die… because of me." Rebecca said.

"That is true. But it was better that you had come for him then not."

Rebecca looked at her master in confusion, "If I didn't then he still would have been alive."

"That is true as well… but sometimes it's better to die then live in agony." Her master's word ignited her confusion even more as he continued, "Did you see how he was back there."

Hearing his words, Rebecca remembered. The doctor was tied up and looked quite skinny beside the numerous wounds. She made the detection that the doctor hadn't eaten for days and was strung up there just like that.

"He was left without food."

The impartial man nodded, "Yes… and the way his execution was done suggests, he wanted you to see that."

Anger coursed through her vein as she dug her fingers through the ground, "I WILL KILL THAT MONSTER!"

…

At another place at the same time.

I woke up suddenly as I felt my whole body had been swept up in sweat.

I looked down at my body and saw that I wasn't wearing any clothes so such a phenomenon shouldn't have happened when it was still the cold season.

"Henry" A dazed voice said.

Turning around, I saw Anna's covered body wake up from her sleep. As she leaned towards me, her cover fell slightly, showing her bare cleavage.

"Is something wrong?"

I looked at her sleepy face and smiled, shaking my head, "Nothing's wrong… just thinking about something."

She nodded absently, "Alright, but you shouldn't be up so late. It's bad for your health."

"I know. Sorry for waking you up."

"It's nothing." Then she tugged at my body, "Come, let's sleep."

"Alright" I let her take my body and we both hugged each other while laying down.

"Forget about your worries and go to sleep."

"As you say my love."
