Chapter 951: Meeting Kanada Of the Shadow Brotherhood
Cena turned to him, "Welcome Lenny Tales to the PIG MARKET."
Her words made Lenny frowned a bit. After all, this place right now. this was the place Cain and the other Rebels were bringing him to be sold before Nana the hunter had been able to peel him from their grasp.
One look at it and he could instantly tell why it was known to be the pig farm. There was no law or jurisdiction of what could be sold or not sold in here.
In fact, he saw an Earthen man cut of his own leg on the spot in other pay for some half eaten crystal food.
With how lawless and un-govern trade was in this place, it was a wonder how it had not gone nuts by now.
As if to sense the question on his mind, Cena responded. "This is the biggest most affordable market in the entire plane. Everything can be bought and sold here. As long as it is for sale, they is someone that wants it. Now, i know you are wondering how we run such a place with the presence of the Asmodeus Royal family running the plane, right?" she smiled.
"The secret lies in the reputation that the Ouroboros tribe has built for its self for thousands of years. Even after a disconnection from the rest of the world, that reputation still holds true. Of course, we also have our ways..."
Cena had barely finished talking when an Earthen Elf took a piece of crystal fruit from one of the stalls and tried to run away.
"Thief!" the owner of the stall screamed.
Instantly, the running man froze in his steps. He coughed up a bit of blood. He looked at his hands, and he could see that they were swelling up unnaturally. Like bubbles in a boiling pot of water, they swoll.
*POP! POP!* Each pop was accompanied by the splash of blood, muscle and flesh into a revolting mess on the ground.
"No! No!!" the man panicked. I have done nothing wrong! I have done nothing wrong!! That Crystal fruit was stolen from my village. I am only taking back what is mine." He turned to Lenny and Venir. To be more precis, his eyes landed on Venir.
He stretched a hand towards her, and his mouth moved inaudible words as his throat and other parts had also already become swollen like inverted pot holes.
Those inadible words were not heard by others, but Lenny as well as Cena had read the man’s lips.
He said, "mother, your children are suffering..."
A LOUD pop sound was heard as he exploded into a pool of crushed organs.
"What was that about?" lenny asked.
"It is said that it the last few seconds of the Earthen Elves deaths, they are gifted a special sight in the before truth." She turned to Venir. however, she smiled it away.
with a smirk on her face, she continued her explanation. "whether it be demon or elf. In this place trade occurs fairly. The crystal fruit might have been yours outside the pig market. But in here, it belongs to whosoever brought it in."
Lenny understood her words clearly. It was like that even if it was human trafficking. The person that brought the product here owns the product regardless of the nature of acquiring it outside the pig market.
This way, the pig market exonerated itself of the stress of solving petty market disputes but still maintained a disciplined environment.
Lenny looked about. They were indeed slaves that tried to plea for help or innocence. Unfortunately, by the Pig Market’s standards, their fate was sealed in this place.
Also, the Ouroboros tribe seemed to have a deterrent that was capable of ensuring peace whenever things went south. Even lenny had not felt the source of the power that had caused the explosion of flesh.
The fact that it was an attack without a source served to reinforce the firm hold of the clan using mystery and fear.
As she explained, Cena could not help but turn her eyes towards Venir one more time. and then she looked away, back at lenny who had pulled the little girl behind his back.
"Come! they is someone you must meet. She might be able to help you." Cena informed as she led the way.
The trio went through the different market corners and finally, they were at a particular secluded corner.
Although it appeared secluded, they were actually a lot of people sitting outside waiting.
In front of this small shop was a sign. It read: The star’s seed is the way.
There was no name on the shop. Just this label. This shop had been erected since the day that the Plane and its twin plane had been isolated from the outside world.
Cena explained that No goods of any kind was sold here, but it had never run out of business.
They was a queue, but this was Cena’s territory, and she did as she pleased without complaint.
She strolled in with Lenny and Venir.
This place was not very dark, not too bright at the same time. the source of the light in the air itself was a mystery as there was no clear indication of luminous substance.
According to the acceptable laws of physics, such a thing should not be. After all, light travelled in a straight line. However, in this shop, it was not so.
Light existed without a source.
This alone was incredible to behold. But there was more.
The shop had the feel and designed of a Gypsy’s home from back on earth. Even the smell of sandal wood, spice and incense in the air was unmistakable.
It did, bring Lenny’s mind to a state of remembrance even though he was without much of his memories.
"Brings back memories, right?" he heard a feminine, yet familiar voice come from a corner as a figure appeared before his eyes.
Instinctively, Lenny raised his hand and a Katana appeared. He kicked against the ground and rushed forward with incredible force.
However, before his bald would reach the goal, Cena’s claws interfered.
*CLANG!*
The person that had showed up, gave a nice smile, revealing rows and rows of her sharp teeth.
She had no facial features except for her mouth, and her hair and skin was bald of hair.
She was skinny, but wore brown baggy clothes that had holes on it here and there.
This person, no matter how lenny looked at it, was her. And although he was still a long distance from recovering most of his memories, the appearance of this woman had excited an incredible killing intent out of him.
As well as unpleasant memories that brought about the feeling of betrayal.
After all, this face was the same as Minnie’s.
"I have to kill her!" Lenny stated, putting in much effort into his attack. However, Cena was both stronger and faster than him.
"Remember where you are, LITTLE one!" Cena stated firmly. "If it is known that you enforced violence in the pig market, you WILL DIE!"
Even though she said these words, Lenny still had his eyes on the woman before him.
"Interesting! I was indeed expecting the violent outburst, but to think even the deter of death would not let you calm your blade. Surely, you are in his likeness.
Let me introduce myself. I am Kanada, and like your Minnie from your world, I am a Fate’s chosen. However, unlike her, I have long severed my link with the Sisters of Fate, and as such, my link with the Web of destiny.
If you do not believe me, you might see for yourself." Slowly, she raised a hand, and touched his forehead with a finger. Instantly, the world around them changed.
The way it did, Lenny could see the string of fate as it connected with all around him. he could see the souls of those before him.
This image, it was familiar to him. He had definitely seen it before. little cuts, flash backs from his time with Uriel flashed in his head. And then he remembered.
"This is the Ethereal realm. The one also known as the Before Truth." he spoke up.
She nodded at him, "yes! at least you can remember thus far. Now, take a look at me." she instructed.
Lenny could see it. The strings of fate connected everything in the room, including chairs and tables. It even connected Cena and his own body, but there was no string whatsoever connecting to her body.
When Lenny had killed Minnie, for her death to be permanent, he had destroyed her connection to the fate strings. Once that was severed, she could never come back to life again.
However, Kanada, before him claimed to be a Chosen by fate that had severed her connection and was still alive. Something was not right. it made lenny frown.
However, Kanada suddenly pointed behind him. Lenny turned and was surprised to see that the fate strings were not connected at all to Venir’s body. Instead, her legs seemed connected to the earth like the roots of a tree.
Lenny frowned at this. He could not figure out what was happening.
However, Kanada spoke up, "I see Solomon did not give you any useful explanation Before sending you back." she sighed...
