Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
24. Vrtta (2)

"Wire, this building is going to collapse!!" Fobetor persuaded Novan to leave immediately but Novan refused, the building completely collapsed, the impact of the Medusa attack was a large hole created on the ceiling of the building, which was a huge hole, just above the collapsed pillar the ceiling collapsed, a miracle the temple did not collapse completely.

Novan managed to survive the ruins of the temple roof thanks to the building of Fobetor which had turned into a human and spread its wings protecting the two of them from falling pieces of buildings. But Medusa was not so lucky, her snake body sandwiched between the heavy ruins, making it difficult for her to move.

"This is our chance to escape! Come-go"

"Fobetor help me!"

But let alone want to escape, Novan instead ran to Medusa and tried to free her from the rubble of the building. "What are you doing?! You know if you accidentally look into his eyes you'll be a rock!" Fobetor pulls Novan's hand trying to stop him from his reckless actions.

"Then I don't have to look her in the eye, right?!"

"Don't answer my question like it's easy!" With the voice that Fobetor had blocked the action of Novan, he could not understand the mind of the man he had made his master, he did not understand the purpose and purpose of Novan. In the eyes of Fobetor Novan so gray and abstract, sometimes will do anything at will and sometimes he will do anything for the sake of others. But Novan had no problem with that.

"Fobetor, I know you can't understand what I mean. But one thing you have to remember, both you and me we were on different paths from the beginning, wasn't it that God Ikelos?" Fobetor immediately gasped in shock, he could only speak a thousand languages, he did not think that Novan would recognize him so soon "I didn't think at first, either, I guess you're just one of those mythological creatures that I can't remember, because basically you have so little information about yourself.."

Novan covered his tired face, and as he lowered his palm, Novan's brown eyes now seemed to emit a red glow "if it wasn't for that dream I would never be able to remember you, if it wasn't for me meeting Morpheus. I won't remember that he was a god who had two younger brothers"

"Novan. There seems to be a misunderstanding-"

"Fobetor, you can't trust me"

For a moment Fobetor felt the atmosphere around him dark and cold as if a warning had appeared in front of him, as if what he was facing now was not a human being.

"You also don't have to help me to help Medusa, the creature that you think is so disgusting. But know that the creature used to be the same human being as the person in front of you" faintly but surely Fobetor saw a pair of black wings spread wide on the red-eyed back of Novan.

"𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐢 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐡 𝐝𝐞𝐰𝐚, 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐧 𝐤𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐤 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐧𝐲𝐚"

Novan's words somehow made Fobetor completely silent a thousand languages, as well as Medusa. For a moment the woman almost shed her tears, she remembered the times when she so worshiped the Goddess Athena and did the oath with her chastity, she remembered I Poseidon suddenly seized that chastity, she said, making the wrathful Goddess Athena then cursed her into a half-snake woman. Medusa could not forget that moment, when she was at her lowest point and no one could be on her back except for her Gorgon sister.

Without a word, Novan approached Medusa, who was now closing her eyes, and in order to dispel her doubts, Medusa asked "are you not afraid of me?" And in a calm tone Novan replied.

"Where can I be afraid of someone who is afraid of himself?" and that very second Medusa realized the reason she was still staying at the temple. Medusa still can't accept herself, she can't accept the fate that befell her, she wants to go back in time, he still wanted Athena to forgive him and take away his curse and he was afraid of his own figure.

Medusa now looked at herself in the mirror, a figure she was so afraid of, the reason she hated her reflection in the mirror.

Patiently, Novan removed one by one the debris from Medusa's body, at least until Fobetor suddenly helped her easily. Novan smiled faintly at Fobetor's awkward-looking face.

"Thank you"

It didn't take long for Medusa to finally get herself out due to the reduced burden that befell her body.

"O man, what's your name?"

In a deep voice Medusa asked Novan, Novan closed his eyes and with a smile he replied.

"Novans"

Slowly Medusa's scaly body began to change and her tail disappeared, the veil behind her back now she used to cover her snake-filled head, while a piece of cloth she used to close her eyes.

"Well, I won't forget your name.."

Medusa then left in the direction of the exit, passing through Perseus who seemed to enter the temple in haste. For the first time the two figures who are mortal enemies in their story met each other without looking at each other.

"No! Fobe! Are you guys all right?! We hear a loud noise from inside here! Unfortunately the door was only opened!" Perseus. Without even finding out, Novan knew it was Medusa who did not let herself go.

"We're fine, but it doesn't seem to be with this building. Let's go" replied Fobetor, who was cleaning the dust off his shirt.

"Good, but is it really okay? Why do your pupils turn red, Novan?"

"What?"

Novan immediately picked up the small glass he was holding, cracks appeared to be in the glass and from the reflection of the glass that had cracked Novan's left eye had completely turned red.

'It's strange, but I'm still fully conscious.' Novan's inner self, as he transforms into his other personality is when both eyes turn red, that's what Fobetor told Novan, what does it mean when only one eye changes? Whether this was related to Morpheus whom he met last night or was just a temporary reaction due to the momentary outburst of his emotions.

"Is that important now? Let's just go back" Rian appeared to pat Novan's shoulder slightly taller than her.

"You're right, it's getting late"

The four of them both stared at the view of the orange sky so wide, above which beautiful clouds floated along with unique birds flying in the sky. The sun that is soon gone is replaced by the moon looks very charming emitting light reflected on the surface of the water.

The crystal-clear wave water then sparkles beautifully following the color of the bright orange sky, the soothing splash of water and the waves that hit the reef so calm the heart of everyone who sees it, until behind the beauty of it no one realizes that there is a rage behind it.

Medusa stood on the shore, her pale white barefooted feet seemingly washed away by the cooling water of the beach. "One day, I will avenge you, Poseidon" and from his arm a blue crystal in which there is a faint figure of a fish-tailed woman asleep.
