Death... and me

chapter-1081
Fatax would be lying if he said he wasn't happy that Eminia continued to be herself. Nevertheless, it wasn't a very good thing for him to hear that the Matriarch was gone. "What would we tell back in the clan once we're back?" One must remember that only half of their clan was against the Matriarch. The other half supported her.
"There's no need," Eminia replied. She now had all of Langara's memories. Of course, she knew how to separate them from her own. "Don't forget that Matriarch also left a Soul Flame behind. Now that she's gone, the Soul Flame is definitely extinguished. Whether the Clan Head accepts it or not won't matter. He won't be able to deny the truth."
Eminia was right. At this very moment, back in the Talan Clan, the entire place was in an uproar! News that the Matriarch Langara's Soul Flame was extinguished quickly spread. Naturally, the Clan Head heard about it. "That can't be..."
Rean and Roan knew about the Soul Flame. It was a method to tell whether someone was alive or not. Back in the Zasfins' planet, the important members of the Zasfin Race also used the same method.
"I see..." Fatax nodded after hearing that.Rean then raised his hand, telling Eminia, "Well, since that was your Matriarch's decision, then I won't say anything. However, we still have our deal." After that, Rean used Divine Sense to talk with Eminia. After all, the fairies would definitely want those fragments as well. 'It's time for you to tell me where I can find the Fallen Light Star Fragments.'
Eminia understood and immediately checked the memories left behind by Langara. Not too long after, she replied to Rean, 'It's located in a place called the Lost Star Realm.'
'Lost Star Realm?' Rean obviously had never heard about it. 'So, where can we find it?'
Eminia then took a deep breath to calm down and explained, 'It's located to the west of our Huring Closed Continent, the Lanqueas Continent. To be more specific, its entrance can be found in the Trimazo Region, inside Galanmord Country. It's not a Dimensional Realm, though.'
'Is that so?' Rean asked, 'But where exactly in Galanmord Realm?'
Eminia replied, 'You'll be able to find it easily. That's because the Lost Star Realm is open for everyone willing to risk their lives inside. Simply put, it's a famous place where many cultivators and demon beasts frequently visit, looking for treasures. Matriarch Langara found this Fallen Light Star Fragment there... and that's also the place that forced her to start a clan in our Huring Closed Continent.'
Rean was confused by her words. 'What do you mean by that?''I have to tell you that Matriarch Langara was very powerful in her prime. Transition Realm cultivators could be killed with a single flick of her fingers. Yet surprisingly, she got seriously injured there. I'll be sincere, Rean, Roan. I'd rather hope you don't go into that place. Chances are that you will die there,' Eminia warned them with a concerned expression. Rean and Roan had helped her and her brother a lot, so she didn't want anything to happen to them.
Rean and Roan looked at each other before nodding back at Eminia. 'We'll see in the future. It's still not guaranteed that we will go there. Besides, it seems like you also know about the Closed Continents. That already helps out a lot.'
Eminia nodded before she turned to Thicket. "Senior Thicket, thank you very much for the help you gave us. It didn't go as I expected at first, but it still resolved our immediate issues."
Thicket didn't seem to mind it. "It's fine." Soon after, he took the Fallen Light Star Fragment out. "I only helped you because of this little baby here. I have no use for it anymore. However, my disciple definitely does."
Newt, who was listening in on the conversation, couldn't help but become surprised. "Master, thank you!"
Thicket smiled in response before saying, "It's still too early to thank me. You're still a young fairy in the Energy Gathering Realm. You have many years of training before you can make use of this item. Until then, I shall keep it by my side."
"Yes, Master!"
Rean and Roan then asked Fatax and Eminia, "So, what will you do now? We are sorry but...we won't be traveling with you anymore. Do you want us to bring you to the next city first before we separate?"
However, it was then that Fatax thought about something else. "Wait! If Matriarch Langara gave everything to you, couldn't you be used for the same purpose? What if the Clan Head forces you to go into the others' body to have your soul eaten away?"
Eminia shook her head in response. "I received everything from Matriarch, but I'm still not someone from her race. It's not wrong that I'm very close to being what she was due to my bloodline and her sacrifice. Unfortunately, only a true member of the Vitri Race like Matriarch Langara could use the method of transferring her soul into her descendants. Besides...the others aren't my descendants. It wouldn't work anyway."
Fatax sighed in relief before he looked at Rean and Roan. "In that case, we will take you up on your offer. It would be quite risky to leave Erqs Forest without your help."
Thicket then took the chance to ask, "Since you've all decided what to do, then you don't need me anymore, right? In that case, just leave my residence. I still have a lot of things to do."
Roan remembered something, though. "The Fairy Queen said that you're on bad terms with another Fairy Race. Can you tell us more about that?"
Thicket immediately shook his head. "No can do. You will need an order from the Fairy Queen first before I can say anything. If I were you, I wouldn't get into this. Problems between fairies must always be resolved by us. We don't like it when others try to meddle into it."
The twins nodded after that. It seemed like they really couldn't do much for Rana now. Well, considering Rana's cultivation, they couldn't do much either way.
Rean then looked at their group after that. "In that case, Fatax, Eminia, Roan, we're leaving."
