Chapter 387: I Will Forever Be Watching You



Luna and Lilian were sleeping peacefully on his bed, and both of them were wearing their pajamas.

He could understand why Lilian would wear pajamas, but Luna was a bit unexpected. Ever since she had tasted the forbidden fruit, she shifted to wearing nightgowns instead of pajamas.

The reason for this was simple.

Pajamas were harder to take off, unlike nightgowns where one only needed to pull a string for the entire thing to drop to the ground beside one\'s feet.

Even so, this scene made Ethan smile. No matter what Luna wore, she was still incredibly beautiful.

Ethan believed that even if she wore rags or leaves for clothes, he would still fall in love with her due to her natural charm and beauty.

The beds in Dud Manor were large enough for four people to sleep side by side.

Even so, he didn\'t dare to climb onto the bed and possibly wake up the two sleeping beauties. With this in mind, he decided to lay on the couch. He closed his eyes, giving Astral Projection a chance.

Ethan\'s Other Half had told him that he should actively try Astral Projection so that he would be able to discover the secrets of the different planes of existence, which were unreachable to some people.

"Inhale and exhale," Ethan\'s Other Half commented. "Breathe deeply, exhale slowly. Do this thirty times then hold your breath for as long as you can. After that repeat the process once again for five repetitions.

"If you feel lightheaded and feel your hands and feet tingle, that\'s a good sign."

Ethan did as he was told and repeated the process. In the middle of his fourth repetition, he fell asleep, his breathing becoming steady.

His Other Half observed his condition and nodded his head in satisfaction.

The young man had now entered a deep sleep, and even though he had slept for nearly half a day, he fell asleep once again due to how relaxed he currently was.

"Why don\'t you give him a little push?" Sebastian asked. "In his state, you can force him to enter Astral Projection and let his soul wander."

"I could, but I won\'t," Ethan\'s Other Half said. "I\'m not in a hurry to make him learn how to Astral Project. It would be best if he entered this state naturally without any help from me. We can\'t spoil him too much. He\'s already a big boy."

Sebastian nodded in understanding because he understood what his partner in crime was thinking.

Forcing things wasn\'t always good, and letting Ethan discover his own method of reaching that state was for the best.

———————

Ethan could vaguely feel himself falling into what seemed to be a bottomless Abyss.

His Other Half explained to him that once he entered Astral Projection, he would feel like he was floating, not falling.

Sensing that he was falling instead of floating, he realized that he had failed in his attempt to project himself into the Astral Planes.

Even so, Ethan felt a sense of calmness and familiarity alongside the falling sensation.

It was as if he was returning to somewhere where he belonged.

Something that felt like home.

After what seemed like an eternal fall, Ethan felt his body fall into a body of water.

The water was calming and refreshing, invigorating every nook and cranny of his body, giving him unrivaled strength.

When Ethan opened his eyes, he found himself submerged in crystal-clear water. He felt so comfortable and at ease that he didn\'t want to move.

He was content floating in place, watching the lives of mortals and deities alike, similar to how a person would watch movies in the cinema.

The young man saw many things, including a red-headed Half-Elf and the Old Man he had met in the Treasury of Brynhildr Academy, who sold him his Sea God\'s Trident.

The two were riding an eight-legged horse and seemed to be fighting against monsters, which Ethan had never seen before.

He watched as the two struggled as they rushed toward the White Portals that would take them to the next Layer of the Abyss.

\'Huh?\' Ethan thought. \'Layer of the Abyss\'? What layer?\'

He didn\'t know why he knew of such things. However, he also believed that he hadn\'t made a mistake in referring to that place as the Abyss.

It was as if his brain was soaking up a sea of information, allowing him to understand the reason why the red-headed Half-Elf and the Old Man were risking their lives in order to go deeper into the Layers of the Abyss.

Ethan cheered for them before he shifted his attention to another vision.

This time, he saw a boy, who seemed to be around seven years old, holding daggers in each hand.

Standing behind him were three children, which Ethan believed to be the boy\'s siblings. At least, that was the information he was receiving from the Well of Knowledge, where he was currently at.

Even when faced with a threat, the seven-year-old didn\'t back down and even took the initiative to charge forward, fighting against the Alpha Vagabond Boar head-on to protect his siblings from harm.

\'Thirteen,\' Ethan said softly.

That was the name of the boy, whom he believed would one day become an existence that even the Gods wouldn\'t know what to do with.

Ethan watched the scenes of these two people at the same time, marveling at their courage and determination to protect those whom they held sacred.

\'Can I be like them as well?\' Ethan thought.

"You can."

A familiar voice answered, which made Ethan smile.

"Really?" Ethan asked.

"Of course. After all, you are…"

Ethan sighed in his heart after hearing the reassuring voice of the person he hadn\'t met for thousands of years.

Even so, he believed that his words would come to pass.

That person never lied to him or did anything to break his trust.

"Return to your current world, and live your life to the fullest. Worry not. Despite my current condition, I will forever be watching you swim through the sea of time and space. Hold destiny with your own two hands.

"Go and sing with everyone listening."

"Fall in love and get hurt."

"Dance with everyone watching."

"And live, making your own heaven on Earth."

"You have been alone for thousands of years, so it is time for you to finally experience what it means to live."

Ethan felt happy and sad at the same time after hearing the words of the person who held a very special place in his heart.

As his body floated upward, away from that soothing and glorious water that held all the wisdom of the world, a tear escaped his eyes, for he knew that he might never see that person again in his lifetime.

————————

Ethan felt something soft touch the side of his face, making him open his eyes slowly.

There, he saw Luna and Lilian looking at him with worried expressions on their faces.

"Are you hurt somewhere?" Luna asked. "Did you hit your head when we levitated your body from the couch to move you to the bed?"

"I\'m sorry," Lilian said in an apologetic tone. "This was my first time doing this, so I might have made a mistake when I made your body float, Ethan."

Ethan smiled before he shook his head. "I\'m not hurt. I just had a very wonderful yet very sad dream."

"A dream?" Luna asked as she wiped the tears from his eyes with a handkerchief. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Ethan was about to say yes and tried to recall the dream that he just had.

However, this particular dream was like the sand inside an hourglass.

Ever so fleeting and passing through the gaps of his fingers as he tried to get a hold of them.

"I can\'t remember it anymore," Ethan replied as more tears poured from his eyes. It was as if he had forgotten something and someone very important to him.

Something he held very dear in his heart. But no matter how hard he tried to remember, the images faded away like the clouds in the sky.

Seeing him look so sad and hurt made the two ladies feel their heart ache.

In their eyes, Ethan was like an unshakable tree, standing tall and proud as he protected them from the winds and rain.

This vulnerable side of him made them feel an ache in their chest.

However, they also felt like this side of Ethan was good as well. It made him more human, and not a perfect being who would not shed a tear when he was sad or laugh when he was happy.

Luna felt a strange sensation, similar to a motherly instinct, kick in, making her hold Ethan\'s head close to her chest as she whispered soothing words in his ears.

She was really like a mother who was helping her child overcome the fear of the lightning storm that was making him feel scared.

Soon, Ethan calmed down and fell asleep once more.

This time, he had a dreamless sleep. When he woke up the next day, he was wrapped in the loving embrace of the two ladies who hugged him as he slept like a baby in their arms.
