Chapter 1042: The nightingale sings

The wind changes course, the rivers bellows seems to slowly rise to the air, the ground seems to shake with giddiness and the sky seems to spirals.

There is white aura around her as she sings. And this white aura seems to spread out wider

The Song she sang is unlike any other song the world had ever heard. There is lyrics. But it is a language no one had ever heard.

Yet, each melody, each word of the lyrics of the song she sang seems to affect the Laws of the World.

Sasha energy drains a lot in that moment. But at the same time, it repelled that sharpness of the knife intent.

Loki narrowed his eyes thought to a poem

‘The bird that soars on the highest wing,

Builds on the ground her lowly nest,

And she that doth most sweetly sing,

Sings in the shade when all things rest:

In lark and nightingale, we see

What honor hath humility

He was reminded of this poem. The song is not words. But a melody that calm the destruction and murderousness.

It is not quite accurate to say that it is a life force. It is simply a song so beautiful that even the Laws and Concepts stop to listen

Even Loki for a second felt enchanted by the song and his mind nearly stopped thinking. The calculation in his head nearly deviated.

That is how enchanting the song of a Nightingale really is. Sasha unique class is the Nightingale. Many people believe that the strongest power of the Nightingale is her stealth

That is what Sasha wants the world to believe.

It is not stealth but her song.

Her song is that ability she kept secrets of

When one thinks of Nightingale, they think of that bird who sing so sweetly that it inspires bards and poets and bring calmness into one heart

Loki knew the Etherna who had this power. It is because he had the Book of Mysteries in the original timeline.

He did not know the name of that Etherna but he does know the feat of that Etherna.

That Etherna probably is something very dangerous and powerful for a chapter is dedicated to it.

It is not like there isn’t any Etherna mentioned in the Book of Mysteries but there is only a few that was dedicated an entire chapter too

The Book of Mysteries had many chapters.

The first few chapters are of course about magic.

Orderly magic that have well thought system. And if you go further, there is other magic.

Not so orderly magic.

But once in a while, when you peruse the Book, you would find there is a few chapters that dedicated to some ancient being.

There was Etherna. And there is even Eldritch being in the Dark Universe. The Nightingale is actually an Etherna that transformed herself into a bird.

Every Nightingale that exist in the Universe is actually following Her image.

When life appears in any worlds, in any universe, and life began to bloom and all kinds of creature evolve and appears, there would be always be a Nightingale bird.

It is coded into creation itself.

Whether it is a big and titanic Nightingale birds or small nightingale birds that people once use to see on Earth, as long as life develops the way Earth does, it would always have a Nightingale bird.

Like Gods that put their Will Stamp into the consciousness of living beings to worship them, the same could be said for the phenomenon of always having a singing bird in a creation.

And the song that Sasha had sung is the most beautiful song that Loki had ever heard.

In the Book of Mysteries, it is said that when the Nightingale Etherna sang, worlds were created, and even Laws and Concepts of the Universe stops to listen.

And she sung so beautiful songs, that every Etherna would stop what they were doing and they would sit down under the large tree that is in the center of their world and listen to her song

Etherna does not fall sick or get injured, nor do they age or die.

Before The Supreme One create The Creator and Destroyer, before Time was introduced to the Universe, before the concept of life and death appears, that is the state of Etherna.

But living for such a long period, they get tired in their hearts and their mind.

The song of that titanic bird that would perch on the highest branch of the tallest tree in the Etherna world would heal the tiredness in their hearts, minds and souls.

And they after finished singing, it would chirp happily and flew outside of Etherna world. The Book did not tell Loki why the Nightingale sings or where she goes.

She was the first Etherna that roams the empty Universe. But she was probably unlike any other Etherna in the Universe.

Since she was the first to went out of the planet where the Etherna was, she probably knows that outside of their world, there is only emptiness.

But she would still flies in space and she would sing. For whom, that song was? Does the song still echo until today?

Does the song of the sea, the song of the earth, is merely the last vestiges of Her Will? Or is it the echoes of a long bygone era only heard today?

And the reason why an entire chapter of the Book of Mysteries was dedicated to this unnamed Etherna is because, she is the only one that had her Will coded into every creation.

Regardless of the kinds of birds, regardless of the kind of the world, there would always be a bird that would sing sung beautiful song that would inspire all kinds of thoughts

This is a grace and a gift from the Supreme One toward this one particular Etherna.

Whether this Etherna participated in the last battle between the Etherna and the Destroyer, that remains unknown.

But her Will live on and not like the inherited state of the system. It lives in in every living being in every universe and dimension

As long as there is life that would be able to stand the test of time, there would be a singing bird.

And for Earth, that is the Nightingale. In that brief moment, Loki remembers all of this and nearly forget what he needed to do and wanted to do

But then the Song ended. And he quickly regains back his calmness as he looks at Sasha who is pale and have wrinkly skins is about to reach Nathan.

The knife that he had thrown had lost all of its luster. The knife intent that was so domineering and powerful had disappeared almost like an instant.

It was calmed down by that song. Loki only shakes his head

‘It is unexpected that Sasha had such a trump card.’

Then a smile formed on the end of his mouth

‘But, that is not enough’ muttering this, Loki kick the air and almost in a second he appears below Nathan who is about to fall down toward him

Loki made another grasping motion and this time, there is a sword on his hand. This sword is translucent almost like it is made out of air itself

His eyes close for a second. And then he slashes down. This time he put a little effort in his attack.

The reason why it was so hard to kill Nathan before is because Loki fears that the attack he would unleash would hurt Sasha.

Right now, they are separated. To some people it might not seem that way as it almost appears like Sasha is only a few inches away from grabbing the Broker to her

But for someone with Loki power as long as you are not really in front of that person or already grabbing that person, a few inches away is like a world away

BOOOOM!

A larger shockwave exploded and before Sasha could grab the Broker, she who have now been drained almost all of her power was pushed away by a powerful shockwave blast

This time, she could no longer fight against the force

Sasha in that one moment, just right before she was pushed away by the shockwave, look at the Broker and sigh.

She closes her eyes and put down all hope, and turns into a white flash that uses the shockwave to propel herself backward safely.

She was blown a thousand kilometers away in that brief moment.

She forces herself to stop in midair, as she deals with the aftershock that was not as strong as the initial explosion.

After enduring most of the blast, she halted in the sky, forcing the shockwave blast to spread around her, causing the space around him to crack under the pressure.

Then she stood there in the air and look toward the area she was in.

Then she looks left and right and then her gaze stops at one direction.

It was the area to the north. She was spun around until her position is even hard to determine.

But as she looks toward the north and focus all of her senses to the max she could see the trails left by the shockwave blast.

From there, she could see where Loki was.
