An Extra’s POV

~FSHUUUU…~

As the brilliant light permeating the room dimmed, the two entities in the room came into full view once again. The darkness around was banished completely, and the utterly black surroundings were turned white.

From the ground, to the ceiling, to the walls… they were blank in color.

That was hardly the only change, though.

Rey's eyes widened as he looked at the fair lady in front of him, his eyes reflecting her pristine wonder as he nearly choked on his saliva.

Her white hair flowed immaculately behind her, as her elven ears were perked up perfectly. Her skin seemed so soft and without blemish that he felt drawn to it almost by instinct. She was still naked, and her perfectly proportioned figure made all his suppressed desires slowly surface.

Then, there was the sweet smell.

It was so overpowering that Rey felt he would have been overcome with lust if not for his incredible tolerance, or rather immunity, to such things.

'She resembles Esme… no, The Oracle…' He just looked at her, shell-shocked, feeling an indescribable feeling buried deep within him.

don't want Esme to be an Oracle Candidate, and I want to pass the burden to someone else. This way, it's easier since I don't get to hear her vehemently

though he didn't hear it from her lips, Rey already knew she

she wouldn't have

thoughts only validated what Adrien said about him, and as much as it pained him to admit it, the boy was right about him

I guess I am capable of subjecting someone else to

a fate that he considered too tragic for another—even though the latter

his actions,

he looked at the fresh face of the one he would be exchanging for

was nothing holding

coming back for you, Esme… just you

of the Elders waited outside The Shrine as Rey stepped in while carrying Ciela in his arms,
