Chapter 7: The Whole Truth

"Guard the entrance, I'm going to be awhile." I told Blake and Mercury before I went into the forest of lost souls, knowing that I wouldn't come back out. While in the forest of lost souls, Vinnie is constantly (and desperately) trying to talk me out of having Khronis release my soul. I simply told him to go away and keep watch over the entrance to Khronis' cave while I talk to him. He grudgingly left, leaving Khronis and I to have our little chat.

"Hello there, my favorite indentured servant." Khronis looked quite amused at the angered look I gave him, despite knowing that I could kill him with his own power. I just didn't have time for that, plus all the bullshit he liked to pull.

"Now is not the time Khronis. I've done my part and gotten what you wanted, now it's time to do your part." I hold out my hand and show him the anti-crystals. He laughed like I had just said a funny joke, I have a feeling he is about to betray me.

"HAHAHA! Very well, I will give you what you asked for, Nick. Kneel before me to receive your end of the deal." I kneeled before him and awaited the sensation of my (second) death, but fate had other plans. "NOOOOOOO!" I hear Khronis scream and look up in horror as I see Khronis being incinerated by...share energy?

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I stand up and turn around to see Black Heart pointing her (extremely oversized) sword at me, I am so confused as to why she was concerned about me.

"Why the hell do you care? I know your heart has been shattered because of what I am." Before I could stop myself, I drop kicked Black Heart into a tree. She jumped up and charged at me, she stopped a foot in front of me and swung her sword at me. I hop backwards hoping that she would miss, but she managed to cut my cheek. I wince a little at the pain, but keep going. I use my dash ability to quickly close the large gap between us. I grab her head and hit it as hard as I could against a nearby tree, causing her to scream out in pain. "I shouldn't even be alive right now, so answer me. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE!?" tears started streaming down my face, along with the blood from my cut. I'm pretty sure that the right side of my face probably looks like the skin was ripped off. I released Black Heart from my grip and ran from her, my emotions getting the better of me. Black Heart landed in front of me and was held me up by my shirt.

"I care because you are the only friend I have outside the other goddesses and goddess candidates."

"You mean besides K-sha?" I know that Noire wanted to introduce me to K-sha for sometime now, she just never got around to it. Plus I already knew K-sha; hell, I even dated her for about a month. I wasn't going to tell her that though.

"Wait, you know K-sha?" Noire is clearly confused. She's probably trying to remember if she's introduced her to me before, which she hasn't.

"Yeah, I met her a while back. Speaking of her, how's she been?" I could tell Noire had (for some reason) lost the intent to fight me, so I decided to strike up a conversation. I wasn't going back to the afterlife now, so I might as well act happy.

"She's doing fine. More importantly...WHY WERE YOU LETTING KHRONIS STEAL YOUR SOUL?! I had a feeling she would ask me this eventually, but I kinda don't want to answer that question. I'm assuming that she'll force me to eventually, though.

"I did it because I shouldn't even be alive right now, that's why." silence. She said nothing. I thought she would have screamed 'WHAT?!' or something by now.

"…"

"…"

"…"

I've had enough of this awkward silence. I turned around and started to walk away. I honestly didn't care if she never spoke to me again, or if she ends me right now. I did not expect, however, to have a pair of arms wrap themselves around me. I look over my shoulder to see that Noire was embracing me. I never expected her to do something like this. I needed to know why she was hugging me, and not slaughtering me. "Noire, why-" she put a finger to my lips to silence me, then looks into my crimson eyes.

"I'm embracing you because you are important to me, I never want you to leave. I already told you this before." I know what she said before, I wasn't expecting her to want to stay my friend. "Now I want you to tell me the whole truth about what happened, don't bendit this time." well, I'm not going to lie about what happened afterwards so I'll just tell her outright.

"Fine, I'll tell you the truth...the whole truth. A few weeks after Alexandre's suicide...I ran into this forest and killed myself." I felt Noire tense up after I said that.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" she didn't sound angry, she sounded bewildered more than anything.

"Noire, you know as well as I do that telling you that would cause you to call me a half-breed and try to attack me." Noire opened her mouth to say something, but immediately closed it when she realized I was right. "Now I think we should go and tell everyone that this conflict is over, there's no use in fighting each other." Noire nodded; she was probably thinking the same thing.

"That's a good idea, let's go now." Noire pulled me by the arm to the exit of the forest of lost souls. Noire was greeted with hugs and sighs of relief. I, on the other hand, was greeted with swords and axes in my face. I looked over at Noire.

"Some resolve this is, amiright?" Noire rolled her eyes and stood in front of the other girls.

"Ladies relax, we're cool now, sheath the weapons." all of them were reluctant, but put away their weapons.

"So, the conflict is just magicly over? What about the other bastards we beat up?" Blanc points over at Blake, Vinnie, and Mercury, who were knocked out. They were horribly beaten and battered, I would have thought they were dead had they not started squirming around.

"Take them to a hospital, Nick and I have some business to attend to." Noire and I walked hand in hand to the basilicom. This day ended strangely well, almost comically. There was one thing I was still trying to figure out…

Why is my soul gone, but my body still lives?
