When Miyue left her hometown, the doctor said she had at most two years to live. Now, half a year has passed without her realizing it. Although she hasn't developed any serious illness, her health has deteriorated significantly. 🐨🍟 🐤🐼

Syndra didn't know why Miyue was so weak, and thought it was because she couldn't get used to the food here, so she tried her best to pick rare fruits from the forest for her, but unfortunately it didn't work.

Finally, one day, Syndra asked about Miyue's health. This was the first time she had spoken to Miyue on her own initiative, and she was very cautious about it.

Miyue was both surprised and delighted. Despite feeling quite upset, she rallied and began to tell Syndra about her past.

In fact, she had told Syndra this several times before, but this time she was more comprehensive, including the fact that her life was coming to an end.

Perhaps because she wasn't feeling well that day, Miyue vomited several mouthfuls of blood right after she finished speaking, and her face turned deathly pale.

Syndra was terrified and at a loss for what to do. She could only hold Miyue tightly, repeatedly saying, "Get well, get well..."

Miyue quickly comforted her, saying that she used to be like this often, but she hadn't coughed up blood for a long time since coming here, so perhaps her body was already getting better.

After a while, Miyue's complexion returned to normal, and she no longer looked so weak. Syndra also told Miyue about her background, which made her cry incessantly.

Their lives were very different. Syndra did not live like a human, but she was very healthy. Miyue was loved by everyone from a young age, but she did not live long.

One of them hated humanity, and the other loved it, but in the end, Miyue's love dissolved Syndra's hatred.

She gradually stopped attacking humans and sometimes even helped with hunting. At first, people dared not ask for her, but at some point, stories of Dark Elf being inspired by Light Elf began to circulate.

In fact, Syndra did this not only because of Miyue's influence, but also because her greater purpose was to get closer to humans and cure Miyue's illness.

She took Miyue on a journey to find a cure, just like Miyue's parents had done before, and the result was exactly the same: no one could cure her illness.

Syndra did not give up. Prexian was not an option, then they would go to even more distant places, from Sunon in the west to Hilana in the east, from Northspring in the north to Zhiyun in the south, leaving their footprints everywhere.

Time passed, Miyue finally couldn't hold on any longer. In the end, she couldn't even walk anymore and had to be carried by Syndra.

In truth, she was already content. In the last two years of her life, she experienced many sights she had never seen or heard of before, and also made a good friend.

But Syndra didn't see it that way. She was heartbroken. Miyue had brought her back to the human world, but she couldn't heal Miyue's body.

Finally, in the Zhiyun Mountains, Miyue could no longer hold on. She couldn't eat anything and kept vomiting blood until she had vomited all the blood and fell into a coma.

Syndra carried her into a forest, where the vegetation was even denser than where they had first met, and the animals were more numerous and exotic.

Finally, Syndra stopped under a large tree. She held Miyue tightly in her arms, wanting to stay with her until she stopped breathing. Just then, a pack of hungry wolves surrounded her.

In the old forest, no animal dared to mess with Syndra. Occasionally, a newborn calf would be punished without mercy, so that it would learn its lesson.

But this time she didn't intervene, because Miyue had often comforted her by saying that she would go to another world after she died, and that she shouldn't worry. If another world really existed, she wanted to go with Miyue.

The wolves pounced, tearing at them mercilessly. Syndra felt intense pain, like the beatings and scoldings her parents had inflicted on her when she was a child. But she knew that no matter how painful it was, it would pass in a while.

Miyue remained unconscious the entire time; even the wolf's bites couldn't wake her. Syndra glanced at her with her remaining eyes and felt that she had already gone to another world.

Just as her consciousness was about to fade, Syndra suddenly heard someone calling her name—it was Miyue's voice!

She opened her eyes and found herself in a pure white space. She felt that Miyue was right beside her, but she couldn't see her, or even herself.

This is the consciousness space of the Soul of Ionia, almost exactly the same as my situation back then, except that Syndra and Miyue went in together.

"Miyue? Is that you calling me?"

"Yes, Syndra, you've finally arrived!"

Is this the other world you were talking about?

"No, this is the consciousness space of the Soul of Ionia; we are waiting for you."

Syndra didn't know what was going on, and before she could ask any questions, she heard a hollow voice reach her ears:

"This is my consciousness space. You can still live, provided you become messengers of God."

"A messenger of God?"

"Yes, a messenger of God..."

The Soul of Ionia explained things to the two confused children. Miyue had heard of the Harbinger, while Syndra looked completely bewildered.

Then the Soul of Ionia asked Miyue what had made her happiest since childhood.

Miyue thought about it carefully. Her innate magical talent, her parents' support, people's praise, and Syndra's care all made her feel very happy.

The happiest thing, I must say, is the joyful smiles on people's faces when harvest season arrives.

The Soul of Ionia greatly admires Miyue, believing that her innate selflessness and great love make her perfectly suited to be a Harbinger.

When asked about Syndra, her answer was unusually simple, just two words: Miyue.

Such obsessive emotions are unsuitable for Harbinger, so the Soul of Ionia decided to resurrect Miyue to succeed the recently deceased Harbinger of the South, while Syndra would face death.

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Originally, it was Miyue who was about to die and Syndra was helpless, but now it is Syndra who is facing death and Miyue is powerless to do anything about it.

Since that's the case, Miyue finally decided not to become Harbinger. Although she longed to return to the world with a healthy body, Syndra had become like this because of her, and she didn't want to be resurrected herself.

At this moment, Syndra suddenly pleaded with the Soul of Ionia to resurrect Miyue, for which she was willing to dedicate her life to saving the world and becoming a dutiful Harbinger.

The Soul of Ionia witnessed the couple's feelings and determination, and finally granted Syndra's request. After all, the position of the Northern Harbinger had been vacant for several days, and they were looking for someone.

Although Syndra is somewhat paranoid, this is due to her childhood experiences. Under Miyue's guidance, she has regained her humanity, and it will not be difficult for her to rebuild her divinity in the future.

As the white space disappeared, the two returned to the forest. Miyue moved around a bit and found that she had recovered!
