Vancour Village, Lithonia Kingdom
"Let's rest here!" Nathania said as she pulled the reins of her horse to stop.
Two days had passed since they decided to go together to search for the divine treasure. They had arrived at a quiet village, but the fog in this village was not so thick that they could see the surroundings clearly.
"What village is this?" asked Owen, his eyes darting around. People's houses are far apart and many gardens are unkempt.
"Vancour village," said Samuel.
"Vancours Village?" Nathania was a little surprised. The name of this village was very familiar to her. This village is Kenneth's hometown.
"Okay, I think we should rest for a bit. But, isn't there a place where we can rest?" asked Samuel.
"Not!"
"What?"
"This village must have been infected, there is no one in this place. It must be because
Edafos Kingdom"No, I can't buy any more time. What should I do now?" thought Princess Eleanor. She felt very restless.After her efforts to buy time so that she and the soldiers don't arrive at the palace, as Keith requested her to buy time, so that Keith can go further and be difficult to find by the soldiers who might be looking for his whereabouts carrying the sacred scroll containing the clue to the temple where the divine treasures are stored."Your Highness, we have arrived at the palace!" said one of the soldiers who looked exhausted because the princess made them have to travel a long way to return to the palace."Yes I know!" Eleanor wasn't happy at all. She had a bad feeling about it. It must have been because she had secretly taken the precious scroll of paper.After getting off the horse carriage, restlessly, she walked towards the main door of the palace and as she had expected. Father, Mother and the old Witch were already standing w
Randolf Forest, Lithonia KingdomNathania, Samuel and Owen enter Randolf Forest. They knew that they were now further away from the Sapphire Capital after five days of traveling from village to village.The fog in this forest was much thicker than the previous place. Losing sight of them forced them to stop their journey for a moment."Uhuuk ..." Owen coughed as he inhaled the air that was piercing like smoke. His eyes stung, of course this wasn't the usual mist."It's very difficult to continue the journey in this state, nor can we rest in a place like this!" said Samuel. He also started to feel suffocated, the mist in this place made it really difficult for them to cross the road."Whereas in the villages and towns previously the fog was not this thick, even though this place is very far from the forbidden forest area. What really happened?" asked a nervous Owen. Although he had previously experienced similar things while trapped in the Gorevmeno
"Nathania... Nathania... wake up, Nathania!""Who? who is it?" Her closed eyes slowly opened as she heard a clear voice calling her name."Nathania, wake up!" this voice sounded very soft and warm, the voice she missed so much."Nathan, is that you?" She asked. Her dark vision, little by little began to lighten and clear.In front of her, she saw a white-haired youth with very fair skin smiling gently at her. His eyes were blue like crystals and on his back, was a pair of long and large wings. This young man's face felt very familiar, reminiscent of Nathan's face which she missed so much."Nathan...?" her tears flowed. She was at a loss for words to say when she saw the face so calm right before her eyes.The place around her was so beautiful and sparkling, like heaven was so amazing. Nathania thought that maybe she had died and now, she was at the place where she was reunited with Nathan, Kenneth and Rupert whom she missed so much.T
Keith gasped at the soft voice, sounding exactly the same as the voice of the woman in his dream. Keith stopped his footsteps, his heart still beating fast. He felt very restless and didn't know what to do now.On the one hand, Nathania also felt the same anxiety. She still remembered the last time they met. It wasn't a good impression to make them stop thinking that they hated each other.At that time, she and Keith fought back in the gardens of the Goldverness Edafos Palace and were stopped by King Jacob. Keith's hatred and anger at that moment was very clear in his eyes. He really wants to kill Nathania and avenge the death of thousands of Edafos people because of her rampage while fighting against Aiden. But now, the situation was different. Keith helped her and she couldn't ignore it."Thanks, Keith. I don't know what will happen to me if you don't help me!" She said carefully. She did not want to ignite the fire of enmity between the two of them again.
A few minutes after Keith left, Nathania remained standing where she was. She didn't know what to do now. Her body was too sore and weak to move. She looked up at the darkening sky. Even though she was still here, there was no sign that Samuel and Owen would find her.She did not know if this forest was the same forest when she and her horse fell into the landslide. The fog in this place is thinner and the atmosphere in the forest is very quiet."I can't be in this place, it's too dangerous if another beast to come after me. I have to leave immediately!"With limping steps, Nathania walked through the wide forest and it was getting dark. There was no time to be afraid, she had faced something terrifying too many times and so far nothing was scarier than Aiden's demonic form when it attacked her on full moon.Nathania continued walking aimlessly until she could no longer continue. She had not eaten anything and had no water to drink. The only thing left fo
Strangely, Nathania felt peace in her heart. She let Keith hug her like this and it made her realize how long she had missed a warm hug like this.The fact that Keith had tried to kill her, Nathania forgot that. She closed her eyes and rested her head against Keith's chest. This man had a sweet scent, like the scent of autumn."Can I be like this?" she thought. Just a moment ago, she was still thinking about Aiden and missing him. But now she let other men hug her like this.She didn't understand at all how she should act. Because all she needs is a warm hug from someone who cares for her."Does Keith care about me?" she asked herself. She didn't understand and she didn't want to try to understand. However, she could feel Keith's heart beating very fast. Exactly the same as Aiden's heartbeat when he hugged her.Nathania and Keith fell asleep in this unexpected embrace. The
Nathania opened her eyes and the morning breeze blew around her face. She saw the sky starting to lighten, she realized that she slept well last night. Beside her, Keith was still asleep, this man who always looked haughty and cynical smiling. It was as if he was having a sweet dream. "Keith!" "Hmm, huh?" "Are you going to tell everyone who I really am?" "You want me to tell them?" "Not!" "Then I won't tell!" "Why would you want to do that?" "Because you don't want them all to know, do you?" "Yeah..." "But you can't go on like this. Someday you'll have to tell them the truth." "You're right! if my father found out, he might kill me!" Nathana smiled bitterly. Her words broke Keith's heart. "What do you mean? Exac
"I just want to be with you, Nathania!" said Keith. Nathania was amazed, she looked at the pair of amber eyes that were so sharp and beautiful. There was sincerity he could feel."What do you mean?""You know? in my dreams, we are always like this. Spending time together and enjoying the beautiful life. Your gentle hands are always caressing my face, you always tease me, Nathania! So, do as you always do!""Keith...?"Keith hugged her, Nathania could feel her heart pounding. Seeing Keith act like this made Nathania even more clueless, what really happened to him? had he really been ruled by his dream."I don't want anything but you. I don't care about this world, as long as I can be with you, I will definitely do whatever I can. Therefore, I beg of you to understand Nathania!""How could I understand? when you suddenly became so kind and gentle to me. How cou
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
