Chapter 163 A Change Part 2
As Makina looked upon her sister\'s peaceful form, a mixture of emotions swirled within her.
Relief, gratitude, and exhaustion intertwined, creating a complex tapestry of feelings.
Her eyes lingered on Marin\'s face, memorizing every feature, every rise and fall of her chest as she breathed.
The sight of her sister safe and sound filled Makina\'s heart with a warmth that she hadn\'t felt in a long time.
With a sense of completion, she turned away from Marin\'s bedside and walked back to the room where Daniel was waiting.
The room was quiet, save for the soft rustling of fabric as she entered.
Daniel\'s gaze met hers, his eyes carrying a mixture of understanding and compassion.
"Why would you go to such great lengths to travel from one land to another?"
Daniel\'s voice was gentle, prompting Makina to open up about her journey.
Makina took a moment to gather her thoughts, her gaze briefly dropping to the floor before she met Daniel\'s eyes.
"I had no other choice," she began, her voice tinged with a sombre tone.
"My sister\'s condition and mine were worsening with each passing day, and there wasn\'t even a glimmer of hope for treatment."
Her words hung in the air, a weighty silence settling between them.
Daniel\'s expression remained steady, his attentiveness a silent encouragement for her to continue.
"Even the food they provided us with was barely enough to sustain us for a single day," Makina continued, her voice carrying a mixture of frustration and helplessness.
"Looking at the state of our bodies... I knew we wouldn\'t last much longer."
As Makina spoke, Daniel\'s expression shifted to one of empathy.
He understood the gravity of their situation, the desperation that had driven her to embark on such a perilous journey.
"I couldn\'t stand by and watch my sister suffer," Makina\'s voice wavered slightly, her emotions raw and palpable.
"I had to find a way to give her a chance, even if it meant pushing myself beyond my limits."
Daniel\'s gaze softened, his voice filled with admiration.
"Your love for your sister is truly remarkable. It takes incredible strength to go to such lengths for someone you care about."
Makina\'s eyes glistened with unshed tears, a mixture of emotions swirling within her.
"I had to do whatever it took," she replied, her voice a blend of determination and vulnerability.
"Even if it meant pushing myself to death."
A gentle smile tugged at the corners of Daniel\'s lips.
"You\'re a true warrior, Makina. Your determination and courage have led you here, to the Heavenly Harem Sect."
As Makina took in her surroundings, her heart swelled with a sense of awe.
"I never thought I\'d actually make it," she confessed, her voice tinged with a mixture of disbelief and gratitude.
Daniel\'s expression grew more serious, his eyes locking onto hers.
"You\'ve been through more than most can imagine," he said softly.
"But now you\'re safe here. The Heavenly Harem Sect welcomes those who seek refuge and a chance for a better life."
Makina\'s gaze flitted around the room, taking in the unfamiliar yet welcoming surroundings.
"What exactly is this place?" she asked, her voice a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty.
Daniel\'s gaze held hers, his tone gentle as he explained, "The Heavenly Harem Sect is a place of healing and growth. It\'s a sanctuary for those women who have faced hardships and challenges, a place where they can find support, training, and a community to belong to."
As his words sank in, Makina felt a flicker of hope ignite within her chest. "And... can my sister and I stay here?" she ventured, her voice a blend of hope and trepidation.
"Of course, both you and your sister could stay here, but you\'ll have to accept the terms and conditions of becoming my disciples," Daniel replied, his tone calm and reassuring.
Without any hesitation, Makina almost accepted it, her eagerness palpable.
"Then I—"
But before she could complete her words, Daniel gently stopped her.
"Hold on, don\'t rush into it," he said with a chuckle.
He understood the whirlwind of emotions that Makina was experiencing, and he wanted to ensure she made an informed decision.
Smiling, he continued, "Before you accept, maybe you should see what the sect has to offer. The Heavenly Harem Sect is not just about strength and power. It\'s a place where you\'ll find guidance, camaraderie, and a chance to discover your true potential."
Makina\'s eyes widened, absorbing his words as she considered the broader implications.
"Guidance, camaraderie, and potential..." she repeated softly, mulling over each aspect.
The weight of her responsibility as an elder sister and her desire to secure a better life for Marin bore down on her, making her decision a critical one.
Daniel nodded, his gaze compassionate as he observed her internal struggle.
"Exactly. The Heavenly Harem Sect is a heaven for women who seek to fulfil their wishes of having strength beyond what the immortals can."
Her mind raced, contemplating the possibilities that this new path could open up for them.
She thought of her sister\'s well-being, the chance to gain power to protect her, and the promise of a community that could provide both solace and growth.
"I want to see it for myself," Makina finally said, determination resolute in her voice.
Daniel\'s smile grew, showing his approval of her thoughtful approach.
"That\'s wise. Later on, I\'ll show you around the sect, introduce you to our way of life, and let you experience firsthand what it means to be a part of the Heavenly Harem Sect."
Makina nodded a mixture of anticipation and excitement building within her.
As they both looked towards the future, a new chapter in their lives was about to unfold within the walls of the Heavenly Harem Sect.
Seconds later, Makina\'s stomach rumbled in hunger, the sound resonating loudly in the room and causing her cheeks to flush with embarrassment.
"S-Sorry," she stammered, her voice tinged with chagrin.
The audible protest of her stomach seemed to magnify the awkwardness of the situation.
Seeing her reaction, Daniel couldn\'t help but chuckle softly.
"I guess someone\'s hungry," he teased gently, offering her an understanding smile.
"Don\'t worry, food will be here soon."
As if on cue, there came a polite knock on the door, and Mecil entered with a tray of food in hand. Her timely arrival brought a sense of relief to the atmosphere.
"Food is here," she announced with a warm smile, setting the plates down on a small table near Makina.
Makina\'s face brightened at the sight and aroma of the food.
Her hunger had been gnawing at her for a while now, and the prospect of a hearty meal was more than welcome.
She looked back at Daniel, her gratitude evident in her eyes.
"Thank you," she said, her voice sincere.
The sight of the sumptuous meal before her ignited a spark of joy in Makina\'s eyes.
It had been so long since she had seen such a hearty and satisfying spread, rice, meats, and vegetables all presented lavishly on the plate.
The aroma of the cooked dishes wafted through the air, tantalizing her senses and stirring her appetite.
\'\'Here, let me help you\'\'
Knowing that she had no more limbs to support, Daniel took the initiative to feed her.
Daniel\'s offer to help her eat caught Makina by surprise.
She hesitated initially, not wanting to burden him, but his insistence was unwavering.
Understanding her limitations, he took the initiative, gently feeding her with kindness in his eyes.
Although Makina felt a mix of gratitude and awkwardness, she couldn\'t help but appreciate his thoughtfulness.
Between bites of the delicious meal, Makina couldn\'t help but feel a mixture of relief and curiosity bubbling within her.
She turned her gaze to Daniel and finally mustered the words to ask,
"So, what exactly is the Heavenly Harem Sect? You mentioned it\'s a place for women seeking strength beyond what the immortals can offer."
Daniel nodded, his expression thoughtful.
"Yes, that\'s right. The Heavenly Harem Sect is a sanctuary, a haven for women who yearn to transcend their limitations. It\'s a place where you can cultivate not only your physical strength but also your spiritual and mental well-being."
Makina\'s interest was piqued. "But why is it called the \'Heavenly Harem Sect\'?"
Daniel\'s lips curled into a gentle smile.
"The name reflects the idea that here, women are not confined by societal norms or expectations. It\'s a place where they can gather, support one another, and rise to new heights. At the same time, theywould serve me\'\'
"But what about men?" Makina asked, wondering if the sect was only exclusive to the women\'\'
exclusively for women.
Daniel\'s expression turned more serious. \'\'Well, let\'s just say that it\'s only exclusive to the women\'\'
Makina still had yet to understand the rational behind the words of the Heavenly Harem Sect, but soon, she will know.
As Daniel fed her, the initial discomfort gradually transformed into a sense of companionship.
Makina found herself allowing her guard to lower as they shared this simple act.
The clinking of utensils and the soft conversation created an atmosphere of warmth and connection, easing the tension she had carried for so long.
Makina\'s hunger was satiated not only by the delicious food but also by the genuine care she felt from Daniel\'s actions.
Each bite was savoured, the flavours exploding in her mouth, making it perhaps the most delectable meal she had ever experienced.
The gratitude she felt extended beyond the food, it was for the newfound support and the sense of belonging she was beginning to find in this unfamiliar place.
As Makina looked upon her sister\'s peaceful form, a mixture of emotions swirled within her.
