Towards A Happy Ending
…
Hail walked down the street that was wet due to rain. Feeling that his vision was being blocked by the falling rain, he waved his hand and created an ice tunnel along the street to protect him from the rain above his head. It is not as if he is afraid of cold, since his power is ice that is cold itself. Thus, he swaggered down the street while looking around, staring at the shops where some clothes were on display by the windows, picking which one should he loot… ehem, borrow the clothes first.
Just as he was about to walk to one of the shops that he picked, his feet suddenly stopped walking. He turned and saw that there was nothing strange, but he knew better. He could feel the chilling killing intent.
As he expected, the water in
Towards A Happy Ending…“Sybb! Sybb!” Hail called through the fog while he ran fast towards the direction where Sybb would be as he wildly looked around, searching for Sybb’s figure. “Sybb!!!” he called again. This time, his voice was louder, and his voice echoed in the walls of the shops and houses that he passed by.But, there was no answer from Sybb.“Sybb…” Hail muttered as he caught his breath. His chest heaved up and down, while he turned to all directions in case Sybb appeared after Sybb also ran to where he was.The pillar of fire has already disappeared, including the lightning, leaving only a light rain pouring down the earth, dampening the soil and wetting the roofs of the houses, as well as the leaves of the trees. Hail’s face is also wet and the water trickled down from the side of his face, towards his chin. He is very worried about Sybb that he has forgotten to create a barrier of ice to protect him from the rain. Thus, not only his face, but his entire body is also we
Towards A Happy Ending…The carriages stopped when Laggas, Kulv and Mahi saw that the fog that was surrounding the South Kingdom slowly moved like the waves in the ocean, looking very mystical and at the same time beautiful. “What happened?” Kulv asked when they saw that the fog was becoming thinner, and was going in one direction.“That direction is…” Mahi muttered as his eyes narrowed.“Where the shed we are staying is.” Laggas said and frowned.Kulv’s brow twitched. “Did something happen to Blue, Iero and the others?!” he immediately asked.“We are working together, so how would we know?” Laggas asked back, looking very irritable.“Then, something happened to Iero, Blue, Reyan, as well as Queen Aria?” Mahi asked, feeling uneasy.“No.” Laggas answered. “I don’t think so.” He said.“Why?” Kulv looked at him in surprise.“If something happened, they would send us a signal.” Laggas answered. “Also, there is Reyan. And, even if Reyan is currently weak, isn't Blue still there?” he sai
Towards a Happy Ending…“What do you mean?” Sykh asked as he looked at Laila, who smiled.“Sykh.” Mabu called. He understood why his wife smiled. “Were you under too much pressure lately that you have forgotten that you have two sons?” he asked him.Sykh’s body froze, and he stiffly gazed at them two. “… I must be bewitched.” He said as his lip twitched.Mabu and Laila laughed, and the tense and gloomy atmosphere instantly disappeared.“Mahi, Hail, Skye, and their friends have left our world to find a cure for Hail’s condition.” Laila spoke. “But, they should have come back now… right?” she said and looked at the two men before her.“They should have!” Mabu said. “Or else, who will defeat the moon goddess?!” he asked and slapped the table.Laila nodded in agreement.Meanwhile, Sykh still looked like he was in a daze. “Skye and Hail…” he muttered. “I have never seen them again… well, I have never seen Hail for more than ten years now.” He said.Mabu and Laila fell into silence when th
Towards A Happy Ending…Laggas’ mind went blank before he instantly froze when he heard what his younger brother said, and then understood. His face was instantly covered in dark lines. “… so, you messed up?” he said.“… yes. I lost control of my powers.” Sybb honestly said and smiled in embarrassment. “Don’t tell Hail, and the others!” he told his elder brother.Laggas didn’t answer. How can he tell the others? He also doesn’t want for anyone to know that he has this idiotic brother! He gritted his teeth as he pulled the other up, and then helped him settle inside the carriage to rest after the horse with the carriage found him. He suppressed the irritation in his heart. “There is a quilt inside. Clean yourself up!” he told Sybb.“Yes.” Sybb answered and immediately picked up the quilt on the side. Fortunately, it wasn’t dusty. His elder brother must have removed the dust in it earlier. “Brother.” He called.“What?” Laggas asked as the horse started to walk, roaming around the area
Towards a Happy Ending…Mahi froze when he realized that his tongue slipped. Kulv looked at him.“No.” Mahi answered when he finally regained his wits.“Really?” Hail asked as he looked suspiciously at Mahi whose expression turned blank.“Yes.” Mahi nodded in affirmation. “Laggas went to find Sybb so that he could help Sybb find more items.” He explained.“Oh.” Hail muttered and his expression finally eased.Mahi’s tense shoulders also relaxed. Kulv secretly sighed in relief, while Skye’s eyes narrowed suspiciously. Was Sybb re
Towards a Happy Ending…“You first clear your mind and feel your surroundings. Don’t be nervous. Just relax.” Blue told Hierro as he started to teach him how to use the energy that he passed to him earlier. “Remember that the energy that we have comes from our surroundings, so, in order to use the energy, we have to be one with the surroundings.” He explained.“I got it!” Hierro nodded with a serious expression on his face. He has read this before in the novels when he was still in his world.“Then, will you do it?” Blue asked with a patient expression on his face.“Yes!” Hierro nodded. His eyes are filled with determination.
Towards a Happy Ending…“Blue…” Iero called as he looked at Blue. Then, he pursed his lips.Blue sadly smiled. He looked at Hierro and Iero, then at Reyan and Aria who are still unconscious and are lying on the ground. “I can’t leave.” He said. “You are more important to them.” He told them.Iero and Hierro froze. How can they not understand what Blue means? Hierro is an ordinary citizen. Even if he came from another world, he is also just an ordinary person there. Even though Iero has power, he is also non-combatant like Hierro. Even though Reyan has powers, his powers are deteriorating along with his body, and he finally collapses. Then, there is Aria. She has no powers now, and not any different than Hierro, except that she is a queen.Oh, right, Hierro is also considered a princess. The Crown Princess of Skye, the Crown Prince of the East Kingdom. So, how can Blue leave them, who all can’t fight, here? Not only can he heal, but he can also fight. And he is the only one who can fi
Towards a Happy Ending…The atmosphere is very tense as they all fly back to where the shed is, where Blue, Iero, Hierro, and Reyan are waiting for them to return. Even though they followed Sybb because they trust him, they still can’t help but worry that the moon goddess would know where Blue and the rest are since she is closely following them.How can Sybb not know what they are thinking? But, it is fine, since –“Don’t worry.” Hail spoke. Though his voice is weak, it is filled with killing intent. “I will freeze her to death!” he said through his gnashed teeth.Everyone started. They all looked at Hail who, though his complexion looked very poor right now, his voice and ey
Towards A Happy Ending…Fifth Kingdom.“How… how do you think everyone is?” Laila nervously asked Yuria after she and Yuria destroyed the moon goddess’s statue, as well as her entire temple, using her (Laila) power by creating silver weapons.They had just finished destroying the moon goddess’s statue and some women and children who are currently free after they helped in cooking as well as cleaning the surroundings helped Laila and Yuria in destroying the moon goddess’s temple as Yuria instructed after they heard Yuria’s explanation that the moon goddess is the one who caused all their grief and sadness by scheming not only against the witch, but also against all of them! She played all of them!So, Yuria doesn’t need to tell them which they should destroy, for they all wanted to destroy everything in this temple – which all was filled with lies!Yuria took a deep breath as she looked at the now destroyed temple of the moon goddess. She has never felt this relieved before. “Everyone
Towards A Happy Ending ... Sykh is not stupid to not realize that this was his son’s doing! What is Skye thinking?! He thought, feeling angry. The enemy is not them, but the other side! The moon goddess! He thought and gnashed his teeth in anger. Is Skye out of his mind?! Did the witch damage his brain to see us – his family and people, his enemies to attack us?! he thought. Sure, Skye doesn’t know yet about their real enemy – the moon goddess, who is currently possessing Hierro, since they all just met each other again. So, it is natural for Skye to freeze them all, putting his guard up against all of them. This is really a good move, especially during this very tense war against the witch – and now, the moon goddess. Sykh inwardly sighed and turned his gaze to look at the moon goddess, only for his eyes to widen when he saw that ‘Hierro’ also can’t move! Sykh’s eyes widened and a thought flashed in his mind, to which he guessed right. Skye really froze them all so as to not a sin
Towards A Happy Ending…Blue stared at both Reyan and Hail, whose bodies are currently floating inside the carriage, with his eyes wide in both shock and disbelief. He was crying earlier but then suddenly was startled after he opened his eyes that the two’s bodies suddenly floated inside the carriage. He was scared, thinking that something bad happened, especially when he saw a great force come out of Hail’s body and hit Reyan’s body!Blue finally reacted and grabbed the two bodies, wanted to stop what is happening. He felt worried that the force that came from Hail’s body might hurt Reyan’s body which is already very frail. After, the force, although invisible but Blue can see, really slammed hard to Reyan’s body. It looked really bad, as if the force wanted to kill Reyan!“Reyan!” Blue cried, feeling both scared and worried about Reyan. Just as his hand neared Reyan’s body, he was hit b
Towards A Happy Ending…Iero didn't know the reason, so he shook his head. “No.” he answered as he looked at Hierro, only to be shocked when he heard Hierro’s answer.“That is because the moon goddess has the ability to absorb others’ powers.” Hierro said. “Just like how she did to the witch.” He told him.Iero’s jaw dropped. “What?!” he exclaimed. The moon goddess can absorb powers?! he thought and shuddered when he felt a chill on his spine. No wonder why Hierro stopped him earlier from trying to cure Hierro. That is because it would be useless, since the moon goddess would absorb his power, then later use it f
Towards A Happy Ending…‘Hierro’ was supposed to be knocked unconscious, but why is he still awake?! Sykh, Jun, Sylv, and Iero were stunned when they saw that ‘Hierro’ is still conscious despite being hit by one of the veteran guards who sneaked up behind ‘him’.“How did she do it?!” they exclaimed as they warily backed away from ‘Hierro’. They don’t know how the moon goddess did it, and they don’t want to know since they realize how really great her power is.Iero gnashed his teeth in anger as he hatefully glared at ‘Hierro’. How he wanted to tear her off apart, but not only would Hierro be the one he will hurt, but that he knows that his own power is not the type for attacks like Skye, Laggas, Sybb, and Hail. His power is also not the type for defense, but his type of power is special – which is healing, that is rare.“Be careful of her!” Iero told them as he clenched his fists, ready to use his power to heal everyone’s bodies in case the moon goddess attacks them. But, surprisingl
Towards A Happy Ending…“Do you think that if you shout, the people outside will hear you?” ‘Hierro’ asked him.Iero heard ‘his’ question. But, instead of feeling scared, he smiled. He already guessed earlier – as soon as he entered the carriage and his body was frozen by her, that the moon goddess must have done something inside the carriage for them to not be heard by the people outside since he felt the carriage was shaking and heard that the horses were galloping outside, indicating that they have resumed traveling, heading to the West Kingdom as they planned. But now, it became as the moon goddess planned.So naturally, it is hopeless for Iero to yell or scream since no one would be able to hear him excep
Towards A Happy Ending…With the barrier of his power of time, Kulv would be able to ‘see’ or ‘feel’ how the people inside the barrier. So, he knows that Laggas and Sybb are still alive since he can sense their powers inside his barrier of time. But, as for how they are right now, Kulv can’t tell since the coverage of the barrier of time is wide when he set it up along with Mahi for the barrier is also to be a trap for the witch.“Sybb is being chased by the witch.” Kulv told Mahi as he closed his eyes to concentrate on feeling his barrier, focusing on the area where the Golden Forest is – to where Laggas and Sybb, including the witch who is chasing Sybb, are heading from opposite directions. “Meanwhile, Laggas was helping Sybb fend off the witch by switching positions with him. Yet the witch is still – “ he said and sighed.“Because Sybb is weaker than Laggas, right?” Mahi guessed. Soft persimmons are the first ones to be picked, this has always been true.Kulv grimaced, but he nodd
Towards A Happy Ending…Not only did the moon goddess not tell them how the witch suddenly became weak, but also who put the witch into a deep sleep. After all, they know how powerful the witch is. Even now, her powers have become weak and she also stole Sykh and Aria’s powers, as well as Yuria’s, but they know, after hearing the story of the witch, how powerful could she be – even five times more powerful than she is right now!The witch’s powers are unfathomable, they know this. So, the witch should have no equal in the past. She was the strongest being. No one should have been able to harm her. Yet, she still has fallen. And it was due to the moon goddess who sneakily attacked her! In short, the witch was plotted against! This is the truth! No wonder when the witch woke up, she was enraged. Who wouldn’t when you were very powerful yet still fell?As to why Jun and Iero were sure that it is the moon goddess who is the culprit, it is because the moon goddess has already had a chance
Towards A Happy Ending…Iero secretly watched Hierro who was talking with Sykh, Jun, and Sylv while he sat on the side of the road as they stopped to let the horses eat grass and drink water in the oasis that they passed by. Fortunately, they found an oasis when they were about to run out of water. They were just still halfway before they reached the borders of the West Kingdom.Ever since Iero found out that there was something residing inside Hierro’s head, he has been closely watching Hierro to know whether Hierro knows about it or not. But, as he had guessed last night, Iero really doesn’t know anything about that strange thing inside his head. If Hierro was aware, Hierro would naturally have told them. But the fact is, Hierro didn’t. Who wouldn’t freak out if they find that there was something inside their head?This made Iero worry since he still hasn’t found any solution about Hierro’s situation, especially since Hierro himself doesn’t know about it. Then, there are Sykh, Jun,
