Guardian Of The End

Jason entered his own dream world. Considering how he was already in a dream world inside the chamber of rebirth, it didn't make much sense.

But then, half the things in his life didn't make sense.

[ Focus on the connection that connects you and Hestia. Try to reach towards the other end and find Hestia. ]

Following the system's words, Jason closed his eyes and focused. He could feel a small tug in his gut that tied him to Erebus and the system.

A few seconds later, a second tug appeared. Both forces seemed to be equally attracting him and thus maintained a balance.

These were the bonds that connected Jason to his patron god and his divinity, aka the system, as well as his guardian.

It could also be considered as a rope where Jason was present at one end and Erebus and Hestia were present at the other end.

Upon comparing the two ropes, Jason found out that the second one seemed a lot loose. It might even slip off if the ends weren't tightened.

[ Imagine that you are walking on that rope and are trying to reach the other end. If you feel tired or shaky, think of Hestia's powers or looks or basically anything that you remember about her. ]

Jason did as told and imagined himself walking on the rope. Suddenly, his body jerked forward and he started flying forward.

His surroundings were similar to that of a mountain, often replicating Hestia's domain which he had seen glimpses of.

Currently, Jason was heading forward in a straight manner. In the distance, he could see that the rope soon went up a hill.

A marble structure was situated at the top of the hill and the rope seemed to be connected to the structure.

'This feels like a train ride at a carnival.' Jason observed.

He steadily traveled to the bottom of the hill but the moment he rose up, his body started shuddering.

[ Think of something related to her! ]

'Uh…' Jason's mind temporarily went blank. 'She has curly brown hair!'

The moment he thought that, his body started flying without any disturbances. He could feel his light body moving through the air without any worries.

[ Out of all the things you could choose from, you chose her hair color? ] the system said in a surprised tone.

'My mind blanked out! It worked though.' Jason stated.

He flew like that for another two minutes before feeling imbalanced. This time, Jason thought of Hestia's red eyes.

He faced numerous hurdles in this way but he continued to think of the ex-goddess. He thought of her abilities, her wolf form, her voice and basically anything that popped up in his mind.

When he was five meters away from reaching the structure, the final hurdle appeared, or at least that's what it seemed like.

Jason was suddenly thrown away and started falling down the hill.

'What else is left?!' he thought with a panicked expression. He had almost mentioned everything about his guardian.

[ Personality and body. Mention both! ]

'Hestia is quite old and is wise. She knows many things and mostly talks about the relevant things. Uh… she is quite beautiful and had the body of a goddess, perhaps because she is technically an ex-goddess.

Despite her age and power, she isn't arrogant and knows how to strategize. Uh… what else? I don't her three sizes or her favorite hobbies or anything like that.'

[ There's no need for that… ]

,m Jason's body had already stopped falling and he was flying towards the marble structure again.

'Why does that look like a temple?'

[ probably because it is a temple. ]

The marble sculpture had two gargoyles placed at the entrance. Both of them were wolves, which to Jason, wasn't a big surprise.

The doors, which might have been glorious, were barely taller than him. Jason didn't understand how they were still in place after their top parts were pulled off.

He jumped on top of the gates and peered inside. The temple's interior might have been glorious once but just like the gates, it was either half-destroyed or half blackened with ash.

The only thing that looked odd in the destroyed place was the body of woman hovering in the middle of the temple.

'Damn… did I just land in the middle of a horror movie shooting?' Jason questioned himself.

The woman was none other than Hestia. Her body was suspended in the air and her eyes were misty.

Jason landed on the inside of the temple and slowly walked towards the center. His eyes were fixed on Hestia.

"What happened…" he mumbled.

[ Nothing good. She is an ex-goddess and an apex guardian. Very few people in the world can put her in such a condition. ]

'That is what frightens me.' Jason admitted.

He soon reached the center of the temple and looked up at his guardian. Jason didn't understand how he could help her but after a few minutes of internal conflict, he started rising in the air.

He did this by expending his thunder element. Since no one was near him, he could do it much easily.

'Uh, any idea what I am supposed to do now?' Jason questioned.

[ The customer service didn't respond to this. We are on our own. ] The system sighed. [ Try touching her hand. Maybe she will react to that. ]

Jason slowly raised his right hand forward and touched he right arm. It was coldest thing he had touched in both of his lives.

He wanted to pull his hand back yet for some reason, his body refused.

Jason's mind suddenly plunged into a new place, a place which he had never seen before.

Right in front of him was a planet, or at least that's what the size of the giant sphere indicated.

The planet was pure red and currently, it was burning with fire. The ground was breaking piece by piece and fires raged around the surface.

A woman's cry resounded all around the planet as well as the surrounding area.

'There is no one to listen to her.'

Jason didn't know how he knew it but he could tell that it was the truth. The entire planet didn't have a single living being present on it.

That was until he saw a figure falling through the cracking planet. The figure was a tiny black dot that fell through the cracks but just like the woman, no one was present there to save him.

'Wait… that voice…'

With a jolt, Jason realized that the voice belonged to Hestia. Though it sounded much younger than the voice he was used to hear, Jason recognized it.

And with that, he realized another thing.

'This scene is a memory. It has already happened…'
