Kiada, Blood Servant System Reborn

Chapter 123: Getting My Head Around Everything

"Shut your face hole; she is not!" I said in outrage, but I knew It had to be accurate, and It did weirdly make sense, but still.

"Would you like me to tell you that she isn't, and then we will just ignore this? Then we can all go have some tea; goddammit, it's been a while since I've had some ale!" Lishtani said with laughter.

"I know this is a lot, and this witch isn't helping, but let's go see the girls. I want to see and hug Lesha," Drania said, getting up and walking up the stairs, leaving Lishtani with me.

"Bit of a twist, right? Look, this is all a lot right now, but when we get Healia, you will remember everything, but you will have to wake up the dragon turtle first. Healia is the last piece, and with us, you now have Neutrophil and Plasma Services, and soon you will have access to all eight and know how to use them properly," Lishtani explained.

"Then let's get going; every second I go without knowing it is starting to slowly eat me up inside. It has been a long road to get here, and now with all these other things," I said, but Lishtani leaned in and gave me a hug.

I didn't hug her back at first. I wasn't sure what to do, but then I got flashes of times where I had felt lost before. Lishtani, Drania, and all the rest of the girls all played their parts in helping me stay on track with things; now it was my turn to catch everyone up to my speed.

I hugged Lishtani back but then broke apart and stood up, giving her a hand up. I was curious as to just how strong she was.

"Not as strong as you, but I could give you a run for your money if you want to spar later, I know the brute will want a go, but she isn't you," Lishtina said with a feral grin, and I was about to ask the obvious, but she waves me off. You and I are still connected, and I can send my thoughts to you. You just need to learn a bit more control."

The two of us headed back up the stairs for the long climb, and we walked the entire way in silence, which was nice as well. I need some time in my head alone right now with all the new info that I had just got.

Three more new dungeons, but why three? Couldn't we just get the same random stuff from using the same core?

"It is more about the other things that we will find in them, like materials, spirit, special items, and most importantly, Artifacts. By this time, everyone's Guild will have a leader that includes the other three Guilds of Healia. While we are away, I will take care of the other two guilds remotely using the Waystone to do upgrades and Guild hires," Lishtani explained to me.

"You can and will do that for me?" I asked, a bit startled.

"Yes, you have too many things on your plate already. Drania will be in charge of Spirit training, and you will be in charge of clearing dungeons and getting your people to stronger levels. We will be bringing everyone to the island, and the other two Guilds will stay empty for now," Lishtani told me.

"Are we just leaving the rest of the world to its fate then?" I asked incredulously; we were getting close to the exit now.

"Or what? We go and start fighting gods and dying? Just listen for now until we get Healia. When you have your memories back, you will understand. Your mind is still thinking of the small picture and of a few people. Once you have your memories back, everything will be clear, and we will be back to drinking in no time!" Lishtani said jubilantly as she slapped me on the shoulder.

I really wanted to believe that getting my memories back was going to be the answer to everything, but I couldn't just forget about Dyster or Giyadel. I hadn't even got the chance to deal with his supporters yet.

"That was a trap, set, but the two idiot gods are trying to trick you. That would have ended up as a massacre, and it would have given both of them a reason to come down on Healia. Now, we are going to disappear for a while, and when we come back, they will all have gotten stronger, but so will have we," She told me, and we finally walked up to the surface where everyone was standing in a circle talking.

Lesha was the first to notice us, and she ran over, and I started to open my arms, but the little blonde-haired witch went to Lishtani first. I tried not to be annoyed, and Lesha turned and graded me right away, pushing all my annoyances.

"I missed you," I said as I buried my face into the side of her neck.

"Baby? What's wrong?" Lesha asked me as we held each other.

"Oh, you know, another one of those days where there just seems like there is more going on than I could ever keep track of," I said with a sigh.

"You know that you are trying to do too much alone, right? We are all here for you, and we all can help you; you aren't doing this alone, baby," Lesha told me softly, and I held her tighter.

I wanted to know it all, I wanted all my memories back, I wanted to know every last second that I had spent with Lesha from now and until the beginning of time.

"Let's go and get the final piece of the puzzle and collect all of our people," I said with a smile as I pulled back from her.

"How are we going to fit everyone?" Lesha asked as I took her hand and faced the others.

"We might have to make room," I said with a smile.
