"Would you like to hear what happened to me?" asked Isis.

Sether did not answer immediately, and it was evident that he did not want to listen, believing that she must have guessed her accurately, but she did not wait for him to answer, and continued to speak, "Listen, I will tell you." ”

Her tone was unmistakable, indistinguishable, and to Sether sounded like a dying Ancestor ordering himself in the Flashback. He still didn't speak, but it would have been a tacit approval.

"I was born on a winter night, in a stormy and rainy year. My birth didn't bring any joy to my family, it made my parents even more angry because I wasn't a baby boy. They had four daughters and a son before me, so there were too few men and too many women for this family, which was a sign that the goddess of fertility had cursed my family. That night, my parents tried to throw me on the Lion Rock behind the altar of the temple, but because the weather outside was unusually bad, they decided to leave me until daytime to see if the weather outside would be a little warmer by then. ”

"Sadly, the weather outside was very bad and it lasted for three whole days. The family believed in the goddess of fertility and believed that the dead, whether old or infants, should not be left within a half-mile radius of the dwelling, either burned on the altar of the goddess or thrown into the Lion Rock to feed the wild beasts, so as not to attract a greater curse. ”

"For three days, they couldn't burn or throw me away, and they changed their minds. Because they found that I was more peculiar in appearance than the other daughters, they began to think that perhaps it would be better to raise me and sell me than to kill me. ”

"How did you know what your family was thinking?" asked Sether suddenly, "I mean, you were only a few days old at the time, and it seems like your parents are the kind of people who don't want to tell their children what they think. ”

"You guessed right. They almost never said a word to me, and of course they didn't tell me, but I read them out of their heads when I was a child. Isis said.

"You were able to read your parents' minds at an early age?"

"Not bad. I discovered that I had this ability when I was about four years old. It was only the couple and their five children asleep that I tried to read their thoughts, including memories that they might have forgotten themselves," Isis continued, noting that Seser was reluctant to call them parents or family, "I was proud at the time and thought I was gifted, but later I learned that my ability was the beginning of the curse. ”

"And when I grew older, I became the most beautiful maiden in our land, and when I was about ten years old, there was a steady stream of people who wanted to buy me, and the husband and wife never sold me, because they saw that I was different, and wanted to sell me to the most powerful king in the world. ”

"On the other hand, I go into their sleep every night after dark, and encourage them to think so. It didn't take much effort to make them think that I was the embodiment of the goddess of fertility, and that the rest of their children were bad luck stars, so when I was eleven years old, they bought all but me. ”

"After this, I found that I was more and more powerful, and I no longer relied on hypnosis in my sleep to control them, but I could manipulate their behavior through my mind during the day. At first, I could only use my abilities in places close to them, such as at home, but as soon as they were discharged I lost my influence, but it didn't take long for me to be able to control them from a distance, and I was overjoyed that my ability had improved beyond my expectations. ”

"Later, not only them, but all the people I came into contact with, as long as those people's eyes could be fixed by me for more than three seconds, there was nothing that I could not control. I thought it was time for Heaven to avenge me, because I grew up living with the scorn and insults of those around me. This was because the man who gave birth to me was the most despicable person in the whole land at that time, and the man and woman also despised themselves, laughing at me with the strangers around them, and on several occasions, if it had not been for an accident in the middle, they would have watched me be raped by the old man of the neighborhood. "Temple Street

"When I was able to control everyone around me by looking at me at will, I planned a hearty revenge for myself. I will bring upon them and their neighbors seventy-seven times the pain that he gave birth to me. I had carefully planned for days that those who had hurt me would suffer a disgraceful and painful death, and that the corpses would be trampled on, in order to undo the resentment that had been hidden for so many years. ”

"The night before my plan was carried out, in the middle of the night, I distinctly felt a man dressed in white standing at the head of the bed, and although I could easily control others, I found that my influence was completely useless to the man in his eyes hidden in the dark. I knew that the man had been looking me straight in the eye, and I had tried my best to capture the man's soul, but it was like an iron wall in front of me, and I struggled for a long time, and finally I collapsed on the bed like I had been struck by lightning, and I was half dead. ”

"'Don't do it again. It was a man who spoke, just as I thought. ”

"'yes, I found it didn't work for you at all. I gasped and shuddered and got up on the bed, and I tried to see the man's face, but his features were completely hidden in the darkness, and the bright moonlight outside the window had now dimmed, and there was silence around me, and I could only hear my own speech and breathing. ”

"'Don't do it again. The man repeated the same words again. ”

"'I see what you mean,' I suddenly shouted at the mysterious man in a rage for no apparent reason, 'You're asking me to stop controlling their minds, are you?' Why should I listen to you, who are you?'"

"'Don't do it again,' the man repeated for the third time, his tone unchanged, but I felt the undeniable sense of authority that made me so angry that I almost went mad, knowing that I had rarely felt such a sense of shame and humiliation when I found myself in control of the minds of others. ”

"'What if I refuse?' I immediately shot back, 'with what authority do you say this to me?, who the hell are you?'

"'People can't look at my face,' said the man, 'and they're going to die.'" ’”

I immediately burst into laughter, and continued to laugh out of my eyes, "Are you the god of death? I tell you, I never believed that there was a god in this world." Even if there were, they were the kind of gods who would die, and these gods were not much better than humans. ’”

"'I will give you a choice,' said the man, 'but if you do not listen to me and continue to do so, then the day you make your choice you will surely die.'" ’”

"'What to choose?'" I yelled, "'What choice are you giving me? You're clearly ordering me!Who the hell are you?'"

But no one answered me, and then I realized that the man who had warned me had disappeared. ”
