Chapter 19: Maureen's Confessions
My name is Morin, and I'm a space magician. Fifteen years ago, I was born with the mark of a soothsayer, and then I became an orphan. I was picked up by the leader of the soothsayers and became one of them.
The soothsayer, a man who makes people on the continent both revered and feared, is also the saddest person on the continent. You can see the future of others, but you are afraid of your own unknown future. I was told from a young age that you have no future, so you only have the duties of being a soothsayer in your life, and nothing else you deserve.
I don't have a future, everything else is optional for me, and I firmly believe that. So, without contacting people, without excessive emotions, I thought I would go on like this forever. However, I don't know when I planted a seed of longing in my heart.
When I see children my age playing in the sun, when I see happiness or a bright future. My heart began to yearn for a bright future as well. But the fortune teller told me that I would not have those things, that my longing was only a seed, and that it could only be a seed, and that I could not let it grow.
I would have always had this thought, but after meeting her, everything changed.
Going to Ling Yu Academy is nothing more than a fortune teller's task. School is the focus of soothsayers, because it is there that people's state of mind is the easiest place to change. Once a person's state of mind changes, so will their fate, so I entered the Ling Yu Academy as a representative of this year's fortune tellers.
I don't like crowded places, so as soon as I arrived at the school, I entered my own space. And her appearance caught my attention, because she has no future like me, is she also a soothsayer?
With this question in mind, I followed her to the dormitory. She is a nice person and is friendly to everyone, which is my first impression of her. From this I judged that she was not a soothsayer, because no soothsayer would come into contact with anyone other than a soothsayer.
I wondered what would happen to her if I told her she had no future? So I appeared in front of her, stared into her eyes, but didn't say anything. Another thought came to me, what would happen to this person who didn't know he had no future, would he be like me? In the end, I just told her my name.
Since then, I have been paying attention to the girl, but the results have been different from what I had imagined. She has a happy life every day, she is gentle with everyone, and her gentleness is infectious to the people around her. But to my surprise, she actually changed the trajectory of other people's fates subtly, even though she knew that they should accept their due fate if they had such an identity, she still insisted on her own ideas.
The girl's state of mind changed, and her fate was out of its proper trajectory. I knew I should correct her fate, but I didn't go, I wanted to know why she could change the fate of others.
That day, they were competing against the group of boys, and I was standing on the edge and watching them. They were so energetic, so wanton with their smiles, and the desire in their hearts rose again.
Can that girl change my fate too? But I was soon dispelled by another voice, which reminded me: you are a soothsayer, and you will not have a good future.
My longing was discovered by the young girl, who said to me, "Be friends with us." ”
I rejected her, I understood her good intentions, but those good things were not what I should have.
And then that happened that night, and that night, she really changed my life.
She was so desperate to protect the girls, I asked her a question, and her answer surprised me, just because she wanted the happiness of the people she cared about? I don't understand that emotion. Later, she said, "I hope all people can be happy, and among those people, I exist."
I denied her idea, but she approached me step by step, telling me that my future had more possibilities than ordinary people.
My heart was shaken and I started to panic. Attacking her, she didn't dodge, letting the blade create a wound on her, and letting the blood come out of the wound. Finally she came up to me and took me in her arms. She made me feel the warmth of my heart.
I was stunned by her movements, and I did as she was told, lying quietly on her chest, listening to her heartbeat. Every beating of her faith makes a powerful "thump" sound. The sound flowed into my body like a warm current, and warmth filled my heart.
I cried, it was the first time I wept, because I felt that my dead heart began to beat, following her heartbeat, making a "thump" sound.
She told me a story, a story about her, a story about miracles. She said she was going to give me her miracle, and this time, I accepted it, and I became friends with her.
At that moment, I was very happy, and such a comfortable feeling should be called happiness.
Later, she passed out and I knew her body had reached its limit. I let go of the others, and they sent her back to her room, where she fell into a deep sleep as the wooden girl treated her.
The others asked me to go out so she could get some rest, but I didn't want to leave, I didn't want to leave the warmth I had so hard to get. They had no choice but to let me stay.
I lay on her bed, hugged her, and slept with her. Sure enough, when you are with her, you can feel the warmth. Her body temperature flowed into my body along the place of contact, warm and comfortable.
As for my doubts, they don't matter to me anymore, maybe they belong to her special power—the power of miracles.
