Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2059

Chapter 2059: Sorrows

Fanelei was in a bit of a daze as she walked back into the room with Leia struggling under her arm. She didn't know what Sylas planned to do, but it was getting to the point that things were a bit ridiculous.

Was this really something that Sylas was capable of?

She had grown to the point she knew better than to think that Sylas couldn't do something he had said he would. But even so, to be accepting of it was just...

Leia fell to the ground as Fanelei let her go.

"Grandmother!"

Fanelei squatted down and clamped Leia's cheeks with a single hand, pulling her chin toward her.

"Listen here, Leia. I've been very patient with you. Too patient, maybe. But right now is not the time for you to be willful."

"HE KILLED--!"

"I already looked into the matter. Maybe it was truly the sort of love that could last a lifetime, I would understand how you feel. But this was a woman who used you like a tool. If you insist on being foolish for a love that wasn't even reciprocated, I will banish you from the family right here and now."

Leia froze, her grandmother's words seemed serious, serious to the point the Will itself seeped into Leia's very psyche. There wasn't an ounce of hesitation or a lie in her words at all.

Fanelei yanked Leia up by her chin and pushed her with a palm to her back toward Sylas.

Stumbling to a stop, Leia looked up at Sylas with a wave of complicated emotions she couldn't seem to restrain. She clenched her fists, biting down hard before looking toward the ground.

Sylas didn't seem to care all that much at all. The only reason he was choosing Leia for this was because if he ignored what was the obvious mistake of her last life, Leia's path ahead was set by Fanelei.

The path, thus, was actually one that followed the path of Gluttony quite well.

From the very beginning, this had been Fanelei's path. She had added Madness to it because it was the only way for her to touch upon the level that she was well and truly seeking. But even without Madness, her path fit in quite well with Gluttony.

Ironically enough, Sylas' own sister was very similar to this as well-meaning she also followed Gluttony without the additions brought on by Madness. In fact, this was probably why Fanelei had tried to take Elara in as a disciple back then, only to stop because Sylas hadn't allowed it.

Regardless, Leia's path fit in with Gluttony well, so she could thus sense it more clearly than anyone else.

Sylas slowly pressed his palms together and Runes began to dance in the surroundings. Slowly but surely, those Runes became images, images that Sylas recognized all too well for reasons that went beyond the fact he was the one who actually created them.

The images formed into dancing snakes, and then serpents lost in battle, and then lust, a wild, ranging mesh of the reality of Serpentes before they were stripped of their pride and hurled down from the skies above.
