Southern Forest
"Is this really the place?" asked Keith to the four soldiers who escorted him to a cave that the king called the best place of exile.
Keith dismounted from his horse, surveying the mouth of the cave which looked very dark from the outside. He did not expect that he had made the long journey of five days to live in such a terrible looking cave.
"Tch, father is really crazy! does he really want me to live in a terrible place like this? damn, that bastard witch, if it weren't for this forest connected to Lithonia, I wouldn't want to follow his advice!" he thought. Keith truly couldn't believe that he would come to this place to seclude himself like a hermit.
"Your Majesty, I think this forest is not too bad. I can hear the sound of a waterfall from over there!" exclaimed Thomas, pointing towards the front.
"Right, that means there's a waterfall! that's good, that means we can live here in safety. We just need to collect firewood and make a
Sapphire Palace, Lithonia Kingdom"With this golden badge, you are declared as Lithonia's best soldier. Cadet Owen Rouge, today you are authorized as corporal. You are officially appointed as soldiers of the Royal Guard Division!" said the King while pinning a gold badge on the uniform that Owen was wearing.Owen bowed respectfully, trying to hold back the tears that nearly spilled out. He had no idea that today, he was no longer a cadet in the soldier training, but a corporal in the Royal Guard Division.Everyone in the room watched and felt proud of what Owen was doing. Who would have thought that an ordinary young man who always dreamed of becoming a great soldier could actually make his dreams come true?After Owen, King Roderick placed a necklace with an emerald pendant around Captain Gavin's neck in the highest honor that a soldier who had served the King and Lithonia had attained."Gavin, thank you for your dedication. Since you joined the ranks
"Impossible!"Prime Minister Edward Aberdeen looks in shock reading a letter written by a doctor from the Kavros City that delivers the shocking news of the moron plague that has killed 220 Livoli villagers."How? looks like you've just learned this news too. Haven't you, Prime Minister Edward?""That's right, Your Majesty! I really didn't have any information about the conditions in the village. The ministers who served in Kavros City also did not provide reports regarding the plague. This is truly strange, Your Majesty!""Do you think this letter is just a lie?""I can't confirm it, but I don't think so, Your Majesty! this red envelope shows that the letter states a state of emergency or important information that must reach the king's hands. Therefore, this envelope cannot be owned by just anyone even if you try to be faked though. But the coat of arms engraved on the front of this envelope indicates that this letter was really sent by a legitimate p
They were silent in a very heavy dilemma, seeing the desperate woman who had lost her husband and children in a short time. Some of the soldiers didn't want to continue this, but letting the villagers stay in was tantamount to allowing more serious problems to come.A young soldier brought a bag filled with bread and gave it to a woman using a long piece of wood, so they didn't have to touch each other."I'm sorry, this is all I can do! I've asked the baker to bring other breads and I hope they can give them for free!" said the soldier.They were so touched, they couldn't believe that this was a good enough initiative to help the villagers get food and survive for a while.The woman who received the package of bread sobbed, she did not know that her life would end like this. The package in her hand did not know what to give to her children or other people who were also hungry."Mother, give me the bread! I'm so hungry!""Yes, Mom! give me the brea
Government Office, Kavros CityThe atmosphere in this room was tense. No one dared to open the conversation when they saw the look on the face of the Prime Minister. It had been two months since the plague had attacked the village, but he had received no information.Minister Samberg was shaking in his place, he could not look up. It is the same with subordinates who always support and follow his fraudulent actions."I know, ignorance and cheating like you do this might happen in other cities. But what I really regret, how can you do it when hundreds of people have become victims of this deadly plague? where is your conscience? what is your conscience? none of you thought that to report this matter to me?""Tha ... that, forgive us, Sir! it's because I think the problems that occur in my area of leadership should be my responsibility, because of that ...""Then, as a leader, have you carried out your responsibilities, Mr Samberg?""I'm sorry, Si
"Father, where are you going?""Your father must go, Son! say goodbye to your father!""No ...! Father, don't go!""Gavin, please take care of your mother! I'm sorry!"Despair was evident on his face, as if he had realized that today was the last day he could see his wife and child."Victor, I hope you don't evade this time! you must die!""I won't run away, you don't need to worry!"The man left with his hands tied with three men who were carrying him in a horse-drawn carriage. While this boy could only cry and scream after the horse carriage that carried his father."Father ... wait! don't go ...! Father ...!" he ran as hard as he could, tears streaming down his face.He was desperate, the expressions on the faces of the man who brought his father were really scary. That bad feeling led him to a remote building. Where he found the horse carriage carrying his father was empty."This is the horse carriage, but where are Fat
Sapphire Palace, Lithonia Kingdom"Looks like your hair is long, you don't want to cut it?" asked Samuel, watching Nathania's hair which had reached her shoulders."Take it easy, I'll tie it!" she said while tying her hair."Why don't you just cut it?""Why? not good, huh? I think it's cool if my hair is a little long!""Instead of being cool, you look like a girl!""What? hahaha ... you could be, Sam! I think I'm quite manly too!" she said, laughing awkwardly. She didn't know that in the eyes of others she looked like a girl. Even though she was used to acting like a boy ever since she had to pretend to be Nathan.The only thing Nathania is worried about is her breasts which are getting bigger and bigger as they get older. Even now, she's been trying to cover her chest with a cloth, so it doesn't stand out too much."I hope not to get bigger, this is enough. It could be bad if mine grows as big as my mother!" she thought."What
"Is the house still far away?" asked Samuel. As he had predicted, it would take nearly four hours to get to the city limits.This area is a hilly road surrounded by trees. Even dense forest was visible along the road."The house is over there!" Nathania said, pointing to an old hut separate from the residential area.They still have to pass another 200 meters until they reach Grandma Lori's house. From where they were, a puff of smoke could be seen from the direction of Grandma Lori's house. Nathania was shocked, afraid that something bad would happen to the kind-hearted old grandmother who had allowed herself and her friends to take shelter at that time, even serving delicious food for them."There's smoke! what's going on?""We have to hurry!" Nathania spurred her horse to run faster.The closer they got to their destination, a crowd of residents could be seen gathering around Grandma Lori's house. There was a woman's screams and cries. Nathania
"Why did you plant it behind your house, Grandma?" asked Nathania.Grandma Lori was silent for a moment. Her face still showed disappointment over what had happened to the plants - the plants that had been burnt had no trace."Sluuurrrppp ..."Rupert sipped the black tea served by Grandma Lori, making quite a loud sound amidst the silence. They immediately stared blankly at Rupert, who always looked relaxed."Hehe ... sorry!" he said, smiling awkwardly."I dreamed that there would be a terrible plague and killed many people. Bodies were scattered, a strong stench filled the city. Children lost their parents and the only thing that can cure the disease is a plant with silver leaves. Only this plant who could save mankind from extinction. But they burned everything. They burned it until nothing was left ..." Grandma Lori was again hysterical. It was difficult for her to accept the fact that the precious plant which she had so painstakingly found had to en
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
