The moment he even flinched, I was on top of him. I had no room for failure here, and so put everything I had into it to catch Cricket Feet before he could slip away. I used my teleportation, coupled with my speed. I got in front of him. He could go fast, but his maneuverability was something that only lesser beings would have trouble with. He's faster than light by a trillion times, but when it comes to how fast his fellow deities could react to him, he might have trouble running into us if he isn't careful.
I drove my fist into his stomach.
[CRICKET FEET] "KUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
And grabbed his hair tight. Now, he definitely wasn't getting away.
[CRICKET FEET] "POOOUH!"
'You're not getting away!'
[CRICKET FEET] "Ack! You c-crazy filth! You have no right to put your dirty hands on me!"
'Enough! Talk, damn you! Tell me what you said! There's no escape now. I gave you a chance. I'm not letting you go until you come clean!'
[CRICKET FEET] "Ergh! A-Alright fine! Not like it'll help you anyway, hoyo! I'll tell you!"
'Speak!'
[CRICKET FEET] "S-So, remember I said I was the replacement for the last god that filled my position?!"
'Parrotboy.'
[CRICKET FEET] "Y-Yeah, hoyo! The last Wind Guide. We found out what happened! We found out his fate. It turns out he's dead, has been this whole time! Make that the second one besides Vymla, h-hoyo!"
I paused at that. But then I grit my teeth and shook him.
'And then what?'
[CRICKET FEET] "Lord Sarakha told me, hoyo! T-To tell Shennu what happened, told me to make her remember who he was! Be... Because! He's her other son!"
'...'
[WOLFBOY] "....what....?"
[CRICKET FEET] "That's all! That's all I was told to tell her, hoyo! That's it, the full message! I can't help that she reacted this way! I'm just a messenger, nothing else!"
I released him, letting him drift back in the air as he clutched his hair.
'Get gone.'
[CRICKET FEET] "With pleasure.... Grrr! Y-You're gonna be sorry you ever treated me like this, peasant! I'm gonna tell Lord Sarakha about this, hoyo! You'll be begging for forgiveness!"
'LEAVE!'
He flew off without further words to rub in, leaving me and Wolfboy to dwell on the uncertainty, and the shock of the situation.
So that's why.
Shennu has gone mad, because the Trinity intentionally told her. They told her what happened to one of her adoptive children. I thought Wolfboy was the only one. I had suspicions when I talked to Cricket Feet in Toushi and learned the name 'Parrotboy' and about who it was but... I didn't want to think that...
Oh no. No... no no no! This can't be happening! And... told her so that she'd remember? Remember?! Had she forgot?! My god, this is... this is awful!
[WOLFBOY] "Y... You mean I had a.... a brother...? And I never knew...?"
[WOLFBOY] "..."
Wolfboy fell to his knees inside my Psychic bubble elevating him. Tears formed at the sides of his blank eyes and emotionless face from hiding the sudden pain of learning that.
