The World Of The Venerate: Everwhite
Chapter 17 - Deciding on a choice
“I think there's one more thing you should do besides tell your mom..”.
“Try to persuade your mother to come too,” said Hefaistos.
“Persuading our mother?” Ask Zchaira.
“Iya is right, how could he want to stay in this place without you guys.
“I hope you are not late, because we will leave this afternoon..I will wait for you on the edge of the lake to the northeast.”.
After Hephaestus said this, the man left them.
***
Moments later, Zchaira and Megathirio are in front of their house. The two looked confused as to how to tell their mother.
“Silver, you older, try you to say, I'll listen to you,” said Zchaira persuaded Megathirio to speak to their mother.
“Somebody's older than us, I'm sure mom won't approve.” However, Megathirio is also not confident to talk about it to his mother.
For a moment Zchaira kept silent to gather her confidence. And after all was done, the girl finally entered into their house along with Megathirio.
**
Inside, Artemis was sitting by the window reading a book.
“Mother..” Call Zchaira.
“Iya, what's up?” Artemis answered her daughter's call and asked.
Somehow Zchaira's confidence was lost after seeing her mother's gaze, which was not really someone's look that would be intimidating.
“Hey, what's up? Say something..” Tanya Artemis saw her two children silent.
“There is... Something I tell you. But, please don't be mad..” Zchaira said with a little force.
“I want to know the outside world with my own eyes.”.
Hearing Zchaira's words, Artemis became confused. He seemed to be less familiar with the explanation said by his daughter.
“Mother, we better go with Mr. Hefaistos and others.” At that time, Megathirio instantly told the core of their true purpose to Artemis.
“What did you say?” How surprised Artemis was to hear Megathirio's words.
“What exactly do you think?”
“Mother, I have a strong desire to become stronger.So also with Zchaira, I know many who want her strength, therefore she must practice in order to also protect herself,” said Megathirio, explaining to Artemis.
“I don't know how you can think like that. For what you say don't worry because I can make it happen. You better stay here, because this is the only safe place.” However, Artemis remained in her position, unwilling to agree with the wishes of her two children.
“Mother, I beg you..”
“Already, whatever you say mom still won't approve.”.
Artemis closed the book she was reading. She then went out leaving her two children.
The disappointed look of Megathirio and Zchaira for not getting approval from their mother.
***
Outside, thinking about Megathirio's earlier remark, the woman went to meet their village elder, Timonar.
“What's Artemis?” Ask Timonar.
“Mr Timonar, just now Megathirio and Zchaira said that they want to go together with their father.
“They said that?”
Timonar thought for a moment about Artemis. He felt that Megathirio and Zchaira's decision was not entirely wrong. The two children of Artemis will indeed not be able to develop more and know the outside world if they are still in that place.
“Artemis, if my opinion is better you just go with Mr. Hefaistos,” said Timonar.
“But Mr. Timonar if it is like that then Zchaira will no longer be safe..”.
“I also think like that, but Zchaira must also try to become stronger so that later she also protects herself.”
Artemis thought little of Timonar's opinion. Trying to think of the right thing to choose.
Artemis fell silent trying to decide her choice, somehow she had to agree to it or not.

Time passed, where the sun would soon sink to change to the night. On the edge of the lake, seen the ship of the soldiers of Lightio who previously came from the area of Workyen will now prepare to leave.
Hephaestus was still at the bottom, looking out into the forest. The man still hoped his family would come and go with him.
However, after waiting even longer, not a single person came out from within the forest.
Soon after, as their ship was about to depart, Lucierence along with Rayvor came to the leader of the land of Lightio.
“I don't think they're coming,” Lucierence said.
“You're right, maybe Artemis still won't approve.”
“Maybe next time, we try it again..”.
Hefaistos walked on the ship with a slightly disappointed look because his wish was still unfulfilled.
Behind the man, Lucierence also boarded the ship, but now all that remains below is Rayvor.
“Rayvor, come..” Call Lucierence.
The young man stared intently at the forest as it was like he heard something coming.
“Hey, old man, try to hear.. Looks like someone is coming,” call Rayvor on Lucierence and Hefaistos to make sure something he hears.
**
“Zchaira…! Wait…! I've been left far behind!”
It turned out that the sound came from Megathirio and Zchaira who were running in the middle of the forest to reach the edge of the lake.
“Kakak…! Come quickly, we will be late.. Don't worry mom can definitely catch up with us..”.
It appears that Zchaira and Megathirio are now ready with their equipment to go after Hefaistos.
It turned out that Artemis had previously decided on her choice to approve the wishes of her two children.
The two brothers ran and almost reached their destination.
“Zchaira…! Wait, stop..!” Suddenly Megathirio felt something and then gave his sister a big impression.
“Eh... What?”
“Ah..!” Instantly Zchaira hit the invisible barrier in front of her, causing the girl to fall down.
“Uh... What exactly did I hit? The walls of my house are not even this hard.” Complained the girl.
“Aahh..!” Just sober, it turns out his head is now bleeding, making him scream.
“Zchaira..!” Megatirio became worried and approached Zchara to see the situation of his sister.
Rayvor, Lucierence, and Hephaistos came closer when they heard Zchaira shout.
“Are you okay?” Rayvor asked worried about Zchaira from behind the barrier.
“No, I was just surprised to see blood alone,” replied Zchaira.
When Zchaira was wounded, that was where the power of the holy creature within her was active to the point of healing the girl's wounds.
Everyone finally stopped because there was no need to worry about the situation of the girl anymore.
“The barrier... You must use penetrating magic..” Rayvor said.
However, now the problem is that Megathirio and Zchaira must try to get past the barrier by using their magic power.
“What magic did you say?” But, Zchaira who did not know about any technique then did not understand the intent of Rayvor.
Everyone is frantically looking for a way to overcome so that Zchaira and Megathirio can get past the mastermind. Even Lucierence and Hefaistos who were top-tier Venerates had no technique to be able to get the two children out inside the barrier.
“Good, all... Please calm down first.” Eventually Artemis, the creator of the invisible barrier, came to meet them.
