The Journey To Find The New Golden Emperor

It was a stand still.

Because the army did not attack, Green Haven did not attack. Yet, the army also did not move from where they were.

It was known that the army was sleeping and eating, they were on guard, but it seemed that the only thing that left the battle for sure were carts with bodies on them, most likely taking their dead back to their Haven’s…The carts had about five men each to defend them but since they left about a day ago, they were far away now.

Yes, it was now three days later, and everyone already felt so much better, ready to attack again but there was no news…

Nothing!

Nate had at first tried to think of ideas, to their current situation, but what Sahara hated at this time was that Nate had not acted out any of his ideas, so she still didn’t know what he wanted to do!

Like before, the army had now stopped and weren’t attacking, so she couldn’t just kill them!

It was up to the Green Haven Emperor if they were to go out and kill them or not…But they had their own problems!

At the current moment, it was like Nate was waiting upon news of the Emperor’s death, but Sahara knew that Nate didn’t put all that much importance on them, or if he did, he didn’t think about it.

Did he know that she was reading his mind?

 

No, he didn’t…Nate had no idea that Sahara was able to do that at all!

Instead, Nate was just caught up in what to do!

His men were spaced out, just in case. The army was still high in numbers but right now, it sucked because they were all spread out…

He already knew that the Divine Beast shouldn’t go through the shield but by the time that they run to the shield that women could teleport the beast several times over, perhaps killing them all! He had also wondered if she could only do it a couple of times, which infuriated Sahara, but still he had never done much with that information!

It was completely annoying! Nate didn’t know what he should do, and so Sahara didn’t know what she should do!

It really was a stand off! The best solution, that Sahara had come up with, was to use a lot of her spiritual essence to teleport them all back where they came from!

If she were to do that though, surely a price would be paid…As it was what she had done to make the golden shield was still making her head throb…

 

 

Knowing that there were two groups, somewhere…Sahara also had to keep in mind that Joshua had already implemented a defense against those groups by putting more bands around the Emperor.

What sucked, was the time that nothing was happening…

It was like they were all waiting and Sahara, being able to read his thoughts, felt even more furious than that of anyone else because of it.

It was like she was all tensed up and unable to untense herself!

Because of Sahara being on edge all these days, Kin was also on edge and even some of the people seeing her this way.

“I feel you are hiding something from me, my dear.” Matthew asked, bringing her into his hold, hoping to help make her feel better.

Sahara sighed, “It’s just playing hungry hungry hippos!”

…What…

Matthew widened his eyes to trying to figure out what she meant but had absolutely no idea!

Sahara finally smiled and looked up at him, “The waiting game…It just…I feel like he’s waiting for good news…Yet, we have already known about his want into attempting to kill the Emperor and so it’s…Just waiting!”

She hadn’t used that reference for a while, she didn’t even remember why her and her last previous family used it…

 

Matthew frowned, “You can’t find them?”

Sahara looked around, in irritation, “I know what they look like, it’d be sorta tedious to look for them as I’d have to search one by one. All that helped me get over that was the fact that you’ve already put defense up against them, so it didn’t matter. I didn’t really even attempt to look through them all…”

Sahara had attempted to find them, thinking their spiritual essence would show them off but Sahara didn’t think that the enemy groups trying to infiltrate Green Haven were very similar to the spiritual essence already here in Green Haven. Considering that spiritual essence could show its happiness, black being angry, there was no obvious way to find them since…Everyone was different…

There were already mixtures of different kinds of essence already here and the people from the enemy just mixed in simply because they were…Human…

Even though they may be here on a killing errand, it didn’t mean the spiritual essence was displeased and so…Sahara could not find the group of people this way. The next idea would be to ask the spiritual essence to find them for her but then…Sahara was a little worried that she may be relying upon the spiritual essence too much!

So, considering that defense procedures have already been put in place, Sahara decided not to ask the spiritual essence for help. She trusted that Joshua and the Bands will deal with this situation themselves!

 

Even though they have had some deaths, the population of Green Haven is still quite high.

Sahara had indeed been busy, besides that of always getting irritated whenever she checked what Nate was up to.

Sahara had gotten into a habit, in the last three days, of using spiritual essence to help Matthew hear what is said between them but his hearing hadn’t gotten any better…

It seemed, that at this moment at least, that those who had lost their hearing upon when the Divine beast let out a loud roar, that they all have the same problem.

Every single one of them have a spiritual type of wound that Sahara had never seen before…

Now that she’s had some time, Sahara knew of the human ear a lot better now and couldn’t really come up with any other better way of explaining it, except that it was a spiritual essence wound.

“Let me try again.” Sahara stated, making him sit down.

She knew that the people who couldn’t hear were upset and wished that it wouldn’t become such a long-term problem…Basically, without them saying it, she still knew they wanted the strange, powerful woman to fix them, as not only their thoughts would be saying it, but their looks.

The problem was, a spiritual essence type of wound was weird and Sahara wondered how to deal with it!

Basically, it was close to what she does with the spiritual essence as she changes it into whatever she needs, it’s like that…The spiritual essence sort of became the ear, or some of the ear, and it’s like dead man’s land in the ear…It was weird…

 

Looking into Matthew’s ear again, for like the hundredth time, Sahara used her own spiritual essence to ‘scoop’ against it, like she had before, to see it move, like before too.

But it was like a spring, because as soon as she goes to take her spiritual essence away, in an attempt to ‘scoop’ it up, it would bounce back to its original area like it was some type of liquid glue!

Showing an irritated look, while focusing, Matthew put a strand of her hand behind her ear and smiled.

“Silly man, you’re the only deafless idiot here that isn’t so upset to have lost his sense of hearing!” Sahara muttered, as she could see herself in his mind.

Matthew pulled her closer and hummed into her neck.

They had been unable to be alone, so they had not been able to be more intimate than this. It was troublesome to be in such a circumstance when not only did he love his beloved so much, but she always looked so beautiful!

 

Stopping, Sahara put her forehead into his shoulder, “Matthew…”

Honestly, she could do with some alone time with him, because of how frustrated she’s been these days but…

Sighing, Sahara sat back up straighter and put her hands back to his head, near his ears.

In a frustrated attempt, probably because she was still thinking about alone time with Matthew, Sahara just went ahead into an attempt of scrapping the whole of the spiritual essence away, in one full swing.

Matthew suddenly held onto Sahara and let out noise in pain.

Sahara, hearing Matthew’s near yell out, brought her back to what she had done and found the spiritual essence that just got ‘torn’ off, wanting to once again connect with where it had just been.

Surrounding the essence, Sahara tried to get rid of it, but…Couldn’t…

Bringing the essence out, even though Matthew was still in a bit of pain and needed to be healed at this moment, Sahara was still unable to help simply because this immune spiritual essence was fighting back to want to attach itself to just about anything!

 

Sahara had seen it was like this before, so she hadn’t known what would happen if she were to just rip it out completely like this! Not only was this a part of Matthew’s ear, so at the moment Matthew’s ear was almost half ripped out of him, but the spiritual essence seemed like it was…Like immortal or something!

Not sure what to do with it, as Sahara didn’t even want to put it into her body, she kept it surrounded by her own spiritual essence as she looked at it.

It was small but still, it was…Was this spiritual essence?

‘Yes Master, it is spiritual essence.’

‘Why is it so…Weird?’ Sahara asked back but didn’t speak it out loud. ‘What do I do with it!?’

‘It is the spiritual essence of a golden Emperor, Master. Not only is it old, it has been bound to its master all this time.’

‘What do you mean? It’s master? The Divine Beast?’

‘Yes, it’s master used to be a golden Emperor. When the planet started again, the golden Emperors would become Divine beasts…’

“What!” Sahara yelled out, “You’re fucking kidding me!”

 

Matthew, who had put something to his bleeding ear, looked at Sahara through is pain and squeezed his eyes shut.

He wanted to ask her what was going on but could hardly pay attention. It hurt…Well it hurt like part of his ear was torn away, in which is what had happened…

“So, what do I do with it!?” Sahara asked out loud, not knowing she had done so.

‘It was clearly a direct attack on the senses, something easily learnt from the Golden Haven library for the Golden Haven Emperors. We haven’t seen a Divine Beast’s attack for a long time… There is probably only one thing you can do with it, Master, and that’s to give it back.’

Sahara blinked a few times in trying to understand and then frowned, she knew she had to think more into the Divine beasts but, she’d have to do that later!

Having to find a Divine Beast, which had moved from where she had last teleported it, she had already used the Divine beast’s spiritual essence to find it, that was still surrounded by her spiritual essence. Sahara saw that the essence did in fact cling to it, almost like magnets…

The Divine beast was almost like a big, huge white pill!

Cool…
