“…… Timur is a child with a vision. He was born on the day of Skellus and blessed. So the name was also given by Skellus himself. Timur said that traces of the God still remain on the guest.”

Abella’s gaze turned to a boy named Timur. The boy shook his head. Born on the day of Skellus and blessed by God?

Ah…….

Although they are in the same situation, Abella is a symbol of the curse and Timur has been blessed with God’s grace. Is there such a thing as unfair?

Abella’s stomach twisted.

“Where can I meet him?”

“Who?”

“Skellus. The God.”

Abella’s voice trembled.

Since they were children born with God’s grace, was it possible that the children didn’t leave Abella, an outsider?

Transparent tears welled up in Abella’s purple eyes. The old man let out a deep sigh at the sight of the fluttering eyes.

It’s not often that people like these exist.

There were many people who came to the North who had been persecuted because of Skellus.

Therefore, most of the inhabitants of the Snow Country rejected strangers. Because they weren’t the only ones who suffered because of them.

“…… Most of them are in the temple.”

“Can I see him? The story I want to hear……. No, I have a story I want to tell him.”

Abella grabbed the blanket.

“First, take care of your body. Timur, speak to the guest. Kiya.”

“Uhhh……. I will be here too…….”

“Kiya!”

“Hing….”

The sullen child was led out of the room by the old man’s hand.

Timur and Abella seemed to have a story to share, so the two left the place by saying that they would bring food soon.

Timur pulled out a chair and sat down.

Then, seeing that he changed his posture, Abella seemed uncomfortable.

“…… Before you see Skellus, I have something to tell you.”

The boy opened his mouth sullenly.

“…… You must listen…….”

Apparently, he was concerned about Abella’s condition.

Abella lifted her hand that was holding the quilt painstakingly. Abella said, hiding her trembling hands behind her back.

“…… It’s all right. Tell me.”

“There is evidence that the guests have already used divinity.”

“Can you explain exactly what that means?”

“…… I don’t know the details either. God’s grace comes in different forms. I have eyes to see things differently, and the other who lives next door can heal wounds. I don’t know what power you have, but……. I know now that only the traces remain.”

Abella took in her breath.

Did she ever use divine powers? When? And if only traces remain, does it mean that she can no longer use the power of God…… ?

Abella placed her hand on her chest. She doesn’t know what kind of power she used, but her heart was beating terribly. Abella’s lips trembled.

“Skelus may or may not give you the answer. And he may or may not give you back your power. I’m telling you this in advance…….”

“…….”

“Most of the people who come to Skellus like the guest wanted to ask for more. But most of those people never came back.”

“…… You mean they die?”

Timur looked into Abella’s eyes and nodded his head.

He was a seemingly ordinary boy. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the boy was concerned that she would end up like the rest rather than feeling awkward.

Timur tried to avoid Abella’s eyes.

“It’s okay if you don’t meet. So…….”

“Don’t worry. I’m not asking God for anything. But, I may not come back.”

Abella smiled brightly.

“Could it not have been that Skellus led them to a utopia rather than death?”

Timur would not understand that death would also be her rest. Abella thus opted for a softer language instead of the word her death to appease the young Timur.

“…… Maybe it is. But, I want the guest to come back. Whether it takes a week or two weeks.”

“Why?”

“The fact that you have come this far is proof that Skellus has arranged for the guest.”

Timur laughed bitterly.

“I want you to know that Skellus is a blessing, not a curse.”

Abella smiled softly. It was because she knew what the boy meant. The proof that Skellus was a blessing was that he wanted her to come back here.

Timur seemed to believe in and love Skellus deeply.

She couldn’t hurt the heart of an innocent child.

Timur looked too young to say that Skelus was a curse in Abella’s life.

“Yes, I’ll try. To come back.”

Abella’s purple eyes flashed. She will see her end in this unexpected place.

Skellus gave life to Abella, but he will have to take it this time.

Whatever she wants!
