First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse

The next morning, Isiah started his day by walking outside to clear his thoughts. He had a lot on his mind, a lot of ideas, and a lot of questions too. He was so sure about leveling up, but he was a bit hesitant about it now that Ciel was sick. He knew that putting him in a dangerous situation in his current state was only going to result in him being away from him.

Eijar spent the night with Ciel, making sure he was asleep and not having any trouble. His temperature was normal during the night, and he just needed to rest for a bit before he could return to his normal state.

Eijar thought that Ciel was going to stay asleep once he opened his blue eyes, but he surprised her when he asked about what happened the night before. Eijar didn't hide anything from him and told him about his sickness, about Ethyl running away, and about Isiah bringing Lexie to heal him.

Ciel sat there motionless as he kept listening to her, then he just patted Eijar's head and said, "I can't believe all of this happened when I wasn't awake."

Eijar was very happy that he was not terribly sick like before, and she said to him, "I have to tell Master that you're okay."

Ciel looked away, breaking eye contact, then said, "Where is he?"

"Outside," Eijar answered.

"Can you just ask him to level up without me?" Ciel asked.

Eijar kind of anticipated that he was going to feel that way, so she said, "He's not going to do that, Ciel. He came back to take you with him. He's not going to let you stay here behind him."

Eijar thought that leaving Ciel there while she went to tell Isiah about his state was a good idea, so she crawled quickly away from him and headed outside.

The moment Eijar found Isiah outside walking in the snow around the house, she told him that Ciel was okay, and immediately he said, "We have to leave right now."

"And her?" Eijar asked, scared of his reaction.

Eijar knew that Isiah had no emotions towards any human being. She knew that Isiah had already left Lexie behind once before, but this time she thought that he wouldn't do that. And even the night before, when he talked about it, she thought that he was speaking that way because he was upset, but the truth was that he was going to do that.

Isiah left Lexie there and headed towards Ciel's room quickly, wanting to see if he was in a good state to go with him or not.

For the first time, Eijar felt that Isiah was acting very cold towards a person in a way that was not justified.

Of course, she knew that he hated people of the upper regions and his own people too, but she thought that at least he would care to keep an ally next to him who would die unconditionally for him.

Even an evil demon from the world beyond would think about something like that, but he didn't even seem to consider it.

Therefore, Eijar had to step up and tell Lexie that he was going to leave her behind.

She crawled to the room where Lexie spent the night, thinking that she would be asleep at least, but she wasn't. Lexie was sitting in bed, her back leaning against the wall

Eijar knew that Isiah had no emotional attachment to any human being. She thought that even though Isaiah had left Lexie behind before, he wouldn't do it again. But at night, when he brought up the subject, she realized he was serious about leaving Lexie behind.

Isiah quickly headed to Ciel's room to see if she was in good enough condition to travel with him. For the first time, Eijar felt that Isiah was acting cold towards someone in an unjustified manner.

She knew he hated people from the upper regions and even his own people, but she thought that at least he would care enough to keep someone like Lexie, who would die for him unconditionally, by his side. Even an evil demon from the world beyond would have thought about that, but Isaiah didn't even seem to consider it.

So Eijar had to step up and inform Lexie that Isaiah was leaving her behind. She crawled to the room where Lexie was staying and thought she would be asleep, but Lexie was sitting on the bed with her back against the wall, staring out the window.

The fire in the fireplace was almost out and she looked like she hadn't slept at all that night.

"How are you feeling today?" Eijar asked her.

Lexie was so deep in thought that she didn't even notice Eijar entering the room. When Eijar asked her, she turned around in surprise. "I don't know," Lexie answered.

Lexie thought Eijar was completely loyal to Isaiah and would never do anything without his permission. She thought she was some sort of a pet. But their relationship was more than that.

"He's going to leave you behind as he levels up with Ciel and me to Afan ," Eijar suddenly said.

What confused Eijar even more was that Lexie didn't show any reaction to being betrayed by Isiah's decision to leave her behind. "I see," Lexie said calmly.

"I'm telling you that he's going to leave you here and level up with me and Ciel," Eijar said, frustrated that Lexie was being so calm about it.

"It's his choice," Lexie explained, trying to control her shaking hand. "I don't want to stand in his way and ask him to take me with him. If he's decided to leave me here, then he must feel it's for the better. If he's okay with leaving me here, then it's fine."

"You can't be serious," Eijar wondered. "Do you really support this decision even if it means being left behind?"

"He doesn't owe me anything," Lexie said. "If he's going to bring chaos, why would I think I'm special to him? I left him to die once and he has every right to leave me here to die".
