I Shall Evolve Everything

Chapter 57 Relaxing?

?"Owowow" Melia exclaimed tears in her eyes, "that was mean"

"I need you to find your most intelligent and send them to Delta" I said ignoring her antics.

"Ok, ok" Melia said waving her hand, "I'll find them"

"Good, thank you, Melia" with that I try to leave with a relaxed gait but before I could leave though Melia stopped me.

"What does Delta need them for?" Melia asks

"I asked Delta to train them as her apprentices, though if they will be successful, that's for time to tell"

…

Once I got back to the house I went upstairs and started to just relax, the past few days from my summoning to now have been a frantic process of securing my territory and gaining power but now I had nothing to do right now.

I had promised that I would sit and relax today but I don't know what to do.

Thinking back I try to think of the things that I had done in the past to occupy my time but couldn't come up with anything that I could do.

Reading? No, we didn't have any books to read. That's all I could remember doing, I didn't have any specific physical activity that I liked and even then it would be a moot point without the equipment to play.

'What could I do to relax' the thought just kept reverberating in my head, no answer coming to mind.

"Darwin" Aoif called.

I just nodded to her, my eyes vacantly staring at her as I tried to alleviate my boredom with something that isn't work.

I watch as Aoif climbs over to me and grabs my head.

She places my head on her lap and starts to slowly stroke my hair.

After a while of that my thoughts fade into the background as my eyes slowly close in relaxation.

"I never told you about myself, have I?" Aoif suddenly says, cutting through the comfortable silence that had occupied the room.

My eyes still closed, I hum and nod my head in acknowledgement.

"I was born blind, not just the everything is blurry blind but the kind of blind where your eyes can not take in any light at all"

Pausing for a minute Aoif let me take that in, there was no rush, neither of us had anything we needed to do for the day.

After a moment of comfortable silence, Aoif continued with her story.

"Imagine how you are right now, no sight, just an endless black void of nothing" Aoif lets me take a minute to do as she said. I take a moment to feel what I was doing, the closed eyelids lead to no sight. I could hear Aoif's breathing, I could hear everything but the blackness of not seeing anything was oppressive. Even now my eyelids were trying to open no matter the effort I took to keep them closed.

Seeing as I was done thinking Aoif continued on.

"Then imagine how you would feel if that was all you could see, that no matter what you heard, no matter what you felt you knew you were never going to be able to see anything."

A pause, Aoif took a shaky breath.

"Of course if you never saw anything then that would hardly matter, you can't mourn the loss of something that was never there, but every so often or more aptly every year or so, I would get a little glimpse of light."

An even more shaky breath was taken and I could feel little droplets of water fall down and drop on my skin.

"The doctors said that I might have hope, that my eyes may actually see. I was studied, there were many research papers on my condition. No one had ever seen a blindness like mine"

I heard nothing for the next half a minute, it seemed like Aoif was composing herself but I was not going to point that out.

"I was treated as a research subject, they did this and that, things I still don't understand the purpose of, even my parents wanted me to continue doing this, I could hear them talking when they thought I wasn't listening but it was all money this money that,"

…

~comfort~

I sent feelings of comfort through my soul to show Aoif that I was there, I could have said that, I could have even just taken Aoif into my arms but I felt this was the most appropriate way.

To others it might seem trivial but this was Aoif's trauma no matter what anyone else says this trauma was hers and it was real to Aoif.

I push myself up from Aoif's lap and take her in my arms. I then lay Aoif's head on my chest, gently stroking Aoif's soft purple hair as small bouts of tears run down my chest.

Slowly I fell into a rhythm, my eyes slowly dripping until I could not hold them open anymore.

…

"thank you" A soft whisper sounded in my ear waking me up.

I open my eyes to see Aoif leaving my embrace to go somewhere. I rub my eyes intent on breaking the spell the early morning had on me before Aoif could leave.

"Oh, your up, come join me once your ready"

It seemed like Aoif had noticed that I had woken up, proposing that we take a shower together.

Once I had finally woken up enough to get out of bed I went to the shower where I found a naked Aoif washing herself. Her perfect figure was what I saw first, her naked breasts with water running down, the toned stomach, her long legs leading to Aoif's hidden cave, to the wet hair that ran straight down her back.

No matter how many times I saw her perfect figure, it never diminished the beauty.

"Are you coming?" Aoif said with a puzzled look on her face, her head tilted, it was so cute, so beautiful.

"Yeah I am" I replied undressing before stepping forwards to join Aoif.
