Death... and me

"I see...so everything is just coincidences stacked on top of more coincidences," Rean could not help but say.

Sienna nodded in agreement. "Pretty much."

Rean then turned around, preparing to leave. "Oh well, that resolves this issue. Now I know when to recognize a fairy in the future. Thanks for receiving me."

"Wait!" However, Sienna stopped Rean on his path as she told him, "You should head to the fairy territory in Erqs Forest north from here."

"Erqs Forest?" Rean was confused to hear that. "Why should I?"

"You karma threads," Sienna replied. "Since you could see me, I took the liberty to check your karma a little. It seems like you have some connection with a fairy over there. The threads of karma between fairies and other races are completely different from normal ones, so it was easy to identify."

Rean then asked back, "Threads of karma? Isn't that the thing that Yotes can manipulate to give themselves a little bit more luck?"

Sienna nodded as she replied, "That's exactly it. You can't see karma threads with your cultivation yet, so I'll simplify the explanation. Normal karma threads are golden in color. The intensity varies depending on what they're connected to, but they're golden nonetheless. However, karma threads related to fairies are white. For example, now that you and I know each other, we have some karma together. Your karma thread to me is slightly white."

Sienna then looked at thin air before continuing, "However, you do have a very white karma thread with you. It's almost blindingly bright. I wonder what kind of thing you have with that fairy."

Rean was obviously oblivious to such a thing. "That's weird. I'm certain you're the first fairy I have ever seen in my life. If not because I researched about it, I wouldn't even know that you were a fairy to start with." Rean's research was basically his knowledge regarding fairies from Earth, though...

Sienna shook her head, telling Rean, "I have no idea either. Still, your connection to them is definitely extremely strong. You should truly check it out as it probably means you know each other."

Rean's interest was immediately piqued. He wanted nothing more than to find Qia and the others. Since the fairy said they know each other, perhaps this fairy had something to do with Qia, Calina, Red, or someone else. "Alright, I'll head there and take a look."

Sienna then extended her tiny hands, gathering Light Element as well. Sure enough, fairies really did have Light Element Affinity. Sometime later, something that looked like a pearl appeared on Sienna's hand. Well, it was much bigger than her hand, though. "Phew...creating these things for other races is really tiresome. Why do most of the races have to be so much bigger than us?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he told her, "Even if you ask me that, it's not like I have an answer. Instead, I could ask the same thing. Why are fairies this tiny? Haha!"

Sienna then shook her head. "Whatever, take this Fairy Essence Pearl with you."

"What can I do with this thing?" Rean asked as he held the weird pearl.

"Anyone can enter Erqs Forest if they want to. It's basically a forest like any other." Sienna continued, "However, it's also the territory of our fairy race of the Yukirrom Region. Once you reach our dwelling area, an illusion barrier will make sure that you can't enter it. At your level, you won't even notice when you enter it."

[Hmph! Rean might not notice, but I definitely would.] Sister Orb said in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

Of course, Sienna couldn't hear her, so she continued, "It won't do any harm to you, but it won't let you get close either. However, if you have my Fairy Essence Pearl, it will let you pass through. Besides, the other fairies there will know that you have been sent by me."

Rean then put the pearl inside the Dimensional Realm and nodded. "Great! We will depart straight away, then. Thanks for the help, Sienna."

"Help? But I didn't help you with anything. This karma thread might be both a good or a bad thing, you know?" Sienna could not help but say.

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed in response. "It might be true, but it's the first clue I've got about my friends that I got separated from. The Realm of Gods is just too big, after all. I can't let this chance pass, so it's an immensely great help."

Sienna shrugged her shoulders after hearing that. "Well, if you say so. Good luck on your trip there."

Rean then left the Vistrue Clan. Of course, Ludio was bombarded with questions from his elders right after and had to come up with excuses or whatever.

'You heard everything as well, right?' Rean asked through his Soul Connection with Roan.

'Yes. Someone you know about...this is indeed the only clue we have so far,' Roan said in response. 'Now, here's the question. Should we head to a bigger city to ask for information or head straight to this fairy territory?'

Rean pondered over it for a bit. They had Fabio's token, which they could use to acquire a lot more information about the area they were in. 'Hmm...to be honest, I would head to the fairy territory first. The information we can get with Fabio's token will always be there. However, we don't know if this fairy that 'I know' would suddenly leave or whatever.'

Roan agreed with Rean on that point. 'Very well. I'm already in the sect, so I'll go talk with Kentucky and Celis. Try to come back as fast as possible so that we can leave straight away.'

Rean nodded. 'On it!'

Around an hour later, Rean's group was reunited in the Beast Taming Hall of Lukimira Sect. However, Celis didn't seem very happy with what the twins told him. 'You just got that many Divine Veins. If we stayed here and used my ability to concentrate energy, we would cultivate much, much faster. However, you guys want to leave already.'

Kentucky agreed with Celis. 'Indeed. Besides, I have a lot of female fans in this sect already. How can we leave this early?' Well, that was the pervert bird's real thoughts.

Roan pondered over their words for a bit before saying, 'Now that you mention that, it would be better for Celis to stay.'
