Granitis Palace, Fotia Kingdom
Felix walked quickly with a sour face. Since returning to Fotia, he has yet to receive an explanation about himself being apparently not involved in the covert sheepfighting plans carried out by King Ellios and Aiden. What else did he know, the father and son had hardly spoken to each other for more than 10 years. However, why did Aiden suddenly want to just follow his father's plan?
"Shit! how dare they plan something without involving me!" he cursed irritably with a terrifying face, even though he had already arrived at the door of the room where King Ellios was sitting on his throne.
"I am coming, Your Majesty!" he said as he walked towards King Ellios who was staring at him with a cold gaze.
"Looks like you can't wait to push me again, Felix!"
"I'm glad you already know what I want to ask, Your Majesty! so better explain it to me, so I don't have to ask any more!"
"I have no obligation to tell you everything I do
Gorevmenos Forest"Ugh ..." Aiden grimaced, enduring the burning pain in his head. Even at the full moon this time, he was forced to endure a very strong pain.Since Nathania left him, the pain had come more and more often as if it was eating away at his body from the inside, so that he often lost consciousness and felt that his body was controlled by the demon king.The shining full moon made him feel an enormous rush of anger. Little by little, his body turned into a monstrous gigantic monster. Go berserk and destroy whatever is near it."Graaaoooor ..." his loud scream reached Lithonia. Make people who were sleeping, immediately wake up and find out what happened.The capital of Sapphire which lies on the border between Lithonia and Fotia is the most affected. The residents ran out of the house in terror, thinking that a monster had attacked the city.At the Palace of Safir, the King was forced to wake up from his sleep to give orders to
Central Soldier Headquarters, Capital of SapphiresCommander Robinson stepped through the corridor accompanied by Captain Gavin of the 'Royal Guards Division' and Captain Lyra Everett of the 'Intelligence Forces Division'. Neither Gavin and Lyra, no one knows why the soldiers were gathered in the middle of the night like this.They thought maybe the soldiers who were assigned to secure the citizens, given the extremely fierce demonic rampage of the forbidden forest."Commander!""What's the matter, Lyra? anything you want to ask?" he asked calmly. This attitude would make it impossible for the soldiers to expect that they would be given such a dangerous task.Unlike Lyra who feels uneasy because of a bad feeling, Gavin who is ready for any mission will always be calm because from the start, their duties as soldiers were indeed to do dangerous tasks for Lithonia's sake."Does the gathering of all the soldiers in the capital tonight have
Selected humans? that question echoed in the heads of every soldier who was unsure of their existence as humans as well as the soldiers of choice, including Owen. His hands were shaking, his heart was beating fast. The heart continues to wonder, is he part of the great person chosen?All the memories and struggles he had to get here flashed through his mind. How his grandfather who was a soldier died and his disabled father could not realize his beautiful dream of becoming a brave soldier who was willing to die for his homeland."Do you think you are that great? stop chasing your dreams, think of your mother who worries so much for you!"The words that Joan uttered that were nothing more than humiliating nonsense made him irritated. If in the end, he was silent with trembling hands because he did not dare to face a dangerous mission, what Joan said was true, he was just an ordinary young man who did not deserve to be a soldier."Me!" spontaneously, Owen raise
Owen trembled, he didn't think that he would actually do it. It felt like a dream when Commander-in-Chief, Nile Robinson allowed him to join the special forces that would be tasked with traversing the forbidden forest. Although the details of the mission they are going to do have not been explained, for Owen the mission is definitely a very dangerous mission, considering that they have to enter into a forest that is strictly forbidden to enter for years, after many people have never returned safe from that forest. Owen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He had made up his mind to go ahead and now he couldn't back down from the choice he had made. "Are you scared? did you wet the bed last night?" said Harry, giggling with his two friends, Conny and Marcell. Owen turned to the trio who had always been disturbing the calm since he had stayed at the training base for the past seven months. Instead of being annoyed, this time Owen didn't think Harry's
"So, the purpose of this mission is to find the gates of hell?" asked Commander of the Combat Troops, Michael Koster after hearing the explanation from the Commander-in-Chief, Nile Robinson.That's right! that's what the king said, considering that the threats from Fotia seem obvious. Therefore, inevitably, we have to take the risk of finding the location of the gate, where the demons are trapped. We have to confirm whether the gate is still protected by the divine seal or not!""But, how do we find the location of the gate that not even anyone knows about. Is there a clue?" asked the Captain of the Combat Troops, Daz Rafles."The King is giving directions through this roll of paper!" he said as he unrolled the old paper and placed it on the table."Is this like a directions or a map?""No! more precisely the symbols you have to find for directions,"They immediately looked at the symbols painted on the paper. There are three symbols, the first is
Sapphire Palace, Lithonia Kingdom"O ... Owen?" Nathania is shocked to see Owen joining a group of soldiers who are about to carry out a dangerous mission.Owen, who was worried, afraid to meet Nathania's sharp gaze, stopped looking at her since he and his companions stood before the king to ask for his blessing, as well as a small ceremony before tomorrow morning's departure."Your Majesty, allow us to carry out the task you have assigned!" said Commander Michael Koster, as the leader of the group, bowing his head to pay tribute to the king, while the seven soldiers behind him also paid their respects."May the gods protect you all, I hope you can carry out your mission well and return safely!""Thank you, Your Majesty!"Nathania was silent, she was speechless. She even just learned about this dangerous mission this morning. After all these years, there were finally people who had entered the forbidden forest other t
Soldier Headquarters, Litbonia Kingdom"I really hope this mission will be successful!" said the King's Advisor, William De Jeger after the King and Commander Robinson let go of the soldiers on duty.No one could guess how it would turn out, considering the opponents the soldiers faced were creatures of immense power."They have invaded the forest area which is part of our territory. The largest forest which reaches the Edafos forest area in the west. That means, Fotia has controlled the Gorevmenos forest from the east, right in the Fotia region, the southern part of Lithonia and the western part, Edafos.They played a cunning way to control the forest area that should still be part of our kingdom!" said Commander Robinson, pointing out points of the forest on a large map on the wall."They are using demonic power to attack anyone who dares to enter the forest area. If none of the soldiers are saved, we must declare war on Fotia as soon as possible!
Sapphire Palace, Lithonia KingdomQueen Alexandra hastily walked around looking for Nathania's whereabouts. Unlike before, she now spends more of her time in the library after practicing swordsmanship and studying in her class.The queen entered the lonely library, in the rows of bookshelves, she could see Nathania was busy looking for books on the history of the previous Lithonia before the civil war which left Nathania divided."This is it!" she muttered as her hand tugged at the brown-bound book with a very thick page in the center of the bookshelf."Here you are!" Queen said, approaching her daughter who immediately turned around when she heard her mother's voice."You were looking for me, Mother? what's wrong?""There are important things I want to tell you! come on to your room!" she said while pulling Nathania's hand forcefully to follow her."What's the matter? why are you in such a hurry? is there a problem?" Na
Nathania and Keith were silent for a moment, trying to guess what really happened to Aiden. They knew, just because Aiden didn't seem to be chasing them anymore didn't mean they were completely safe. Who will know what will happen next?"Alright, we have no choice but to go in and find out what's really going on!" Keith said. His eyes glanced into the cave which looked very dark from the outside. Yet he had a hunch that they would find answers to the questions that were running through their heads.Seeing Keith's earnestness, Nathania realized that she had to be strong. Even though her little heart still couldn't accept that the sacred treasure had disappeared, she had no choice but to examine it herself."Okay, come on!" She said confidently.They stepped cautiously into the cave, through the eerie darkness. The cave was completely dark as they had expected, but as they stepped further in, a bright blue light began to clearly fill the cave which looked l
"Is it true?" Keith smiled. Seeing Nathania who was so worried about him. Somehow it made him very grateful that he survived.Keith gripped Nathania's hand tightly, the pounding in his chest made him believe that there was still hope for his love to be reciprocated. However, compared to his passionate love, the desire to save the world was much greater, seeing the earnestness in Nathania's eyes.They had been running for 30 minutes and there was no sign of Aiden chasing them. Seeing Nathania's very pale and exhausted face, Keith thought that they should rest, especially since the sky was getting dark."Are you okay?" Keith asked. He stopped in his tracks. Beside him, Nathania was panting with cold sweat running down her body.Nathania nodded, she tried to force herself even though her body was pushing her to give up and rest."I... I'm fine! There's no need to worry!""You're not fine, we should rest now!" Keith pulled her hand towards the r
"Ugh... I can't walk anymore!" Nathania sat limply, after walking through the dense forest to find the cave.She knew from the start that it was impossible to catch up with Aiden, she was too timid to fight him. Although she had intended to use her power. However, considering the risk that would arise from her inability to control her powers, Nathania gave up.Keith had fought, fought with all her might and even sacrificed her own life to get her to this place and now, again she was taking on the role of a useless loser."Hiks ..." tears welled up in her eyes. She hated herself so much. Whenever bad luck happened to her, she would definitely blame herself for having to live by taking on such a huge role like this. Being a savior is not her dream, being a world hero should not be her responsibility. However, she was forced to do all of this."Nathan ... why? why?"Nathania was tight in her chest, the pain she was trying to endure. Nathan's face, Kei
Aiden arrived in front of a large cave. His eyes glanced at the holy scroll he had snatched from Keith and opened it to confirm that he was really in front of the cave where the shrine was."Right, this is the place!" he thought. Aiden stepped slowly into the mouth of the dark cave.When his feet just set foot into the cave, he was greeted by small glowing creatures flying in the cave. The light from their bodies brightened the dark cavern and the blue crystals that filled the walls and ceiling of the cave looked extremely sparkling.Aiden was sure that he was one step away from the divine treasure. Freeing himself from Diavolos' curse, that was his goal. Aiden knew that his mind and soul had been controlled, therefore it was impossible for him to resist Diavolos' wishes."You see? just a step away, that way you can be as free as you want!" he said."Aiden, you are truly amazing! I've been waiting for this moment for so long and only you can make i
Nathania jumped down the cliff by relying on the vines as a handle to keep her from falling."Sraaakkk...""Aaagh..." Her feet slipped on the damp ground. Nathania fell several meters before her feet landed on the ground."Ugh..." She winced as she fell to the ground. This is really bad, her legs are too sore to move. If she didn't find the cave quickly, then Aiden would definitely catch up with her.Nathania got up slowly with pain all over her body. She could not believe that she would dare to jump from up there without a rope or preparation, just relying on the plants and trees around her."Damn, my leg hurts so bad! How is it? If I don't find the cave soon, Aiden will find it first!" She thought. Nathania looked up, trying to watch for any sign of Aiden's presence.She didn't know if Keith was currently still fighting against Aiden and was buying time like he said? however, the outburst made her unsure that Keith would be okay. Nathania
“Do you think I and the other ministers are allowed to hide or run away? You are wrong to think that we are that selfish. It's true, there are so many selfish people who will definitely save themselves, I think it's only natural. If I could, I also wanted to run away and get out of here, getting my family as far away as possible so we could be safe. I don't care if you all have to die to buy time until help arrives. Yes, that's if I become part of the selfish people. But unfortunately, the King asked me and all the ministers, state officials and nobles to stay in our house and not leave our people. The king does not want to sacrifice his people, if someone has to be sacrificed to buy time, then we are the ones! In fact, the king sacrificed the son he loved so much to find the divine treasure alone, all for the safety of everyone. Prince Nathan must be struggling, fighting against enemies who also want the sacred treasure. This morning, the soldiers had prepared with their swords and
Headquarters, Kingdom of Lithonia “An eclipse has appeared, Your Majesty! Will Prince Nathan be able to find the island in time?” asked Advisor William who was standing a row behind the king who was about to begin his speech. In the center of the headquarters field, King Roderick Zafeiri stood in front of thousands of Lithonian soldiers to give enthusiasm and hope to the soldiers and youths who volunteered to join the emergency army considering that they were currentlyo somewhat in the midst of the threat of the rise of the demons. “Good afternoon the proud soldiers of Lithonia! As we all witness together, the solar eclipse has come bringing hope to all mankind. Today, we are faced with so many very tough tests, forcing us to be patient and endure until we can get through them all. Believe that help is drawing near! Never lose hope. Thanks to God being with us, we will definitely win!” Tears
Keith sat in front of the bonfire, keeping watch all night to make sure Nathania could rest for the night. Nathania lay beside him and seemed to be fast asleep. Meanwhile, Aleah who was lying beside Nathania continued to observe Keith. She couldn't sleep, let alone seeing Keith stand guard alone like that. Aleah got up and walked over to Keith, she took a seat beside Keith and sat quietly. Her eyes did not leave Keith, she felt this was a good opportunity to get closer to this young manThe night beforeKeith glanced at Aleah, he knew what women wanted. Even though Aleah just kept quiet and didn't do anything, it still annoyed Keith."What are you doing? why don't you sleep?" asked Keith curtly. His rude and cold attitude only made Aleah even more attracted to him.Aleah shifted her seat position until she was right next to Aiden. She smiled seductively as she puffed out her chest, wishing Keith's ey
The killer whales took them to a small island with tall trees and white sand all around it. "Thank you for helping us! Goodbye!" said Keith. The killer whales swam away after their task was done. "Thank you! See you later...!" Nathania waved her hand. She felt very grateful to them. Their bodies were drenched and their trees had nothing to help them survive this cold night. Keith took off his wet shirt and hung it out on the coconut tree stuff. Aleah who accidentally saw Keith's beautiful body, felt very embarrassed, but on the one hand, she felt very grateful to Keith and also Nathania for helping her so far. "Tha ... thank you so much! I really don't know what will happen to me if you don't help me!" She said. She smiled happily and her eyes immediately fell on Keith who wasn't too interested in her. "You don't need to thank's. Right, Keith?" Na
