Towards A Happy Ending
…
But, their hope is bound to be crushed when they hear what Reyan said.
“It did.” Reyan answered.
They were stunned. “How?!” they asked as their eyes widened in disbelief.
“Weren’t the other things that our ancestors worshiped didn’t answer their prayers?” Mahi asked and frowned. “So, how was it that the moon did?” he asked as his brows knitted in puzzlement.
But, Reyan didn’t answer their questions and just smiled. He wonders who would realize it first, like he did that time when he heard Yuria’s storytelling. Thinking this, he looked at Laggas and Skye, who were f
Towards A Happy Ending…The others also recalled that incident when the moon goddess… ah, no, it was the witch, who ambushed them in the South Kingdom as soon as they returned to their world. They suddenly burst into laughter as if they could still hear the witch’s roar in anger after Sybb dismissed her.“A thief calls another ‘thief’… heh.” Blue sneered in disdain. “She deserved it!” he said.They all nodded in agreement with Blue. The witch is really a thief. Not only did she steal the moon goddess’ identity, not only did she steal the power of prayers of the ancestors, but she also wanted to steal their powers, which actually came from the ancestors themselves and not her, who gave the powers as a ‘gift’!Thinking this, they really wanted to curse the witch a thousand times. Because not only is she a thief, but she is also an opportunist! If she didn’t take the opportunity of the ancestors in a plight and deceived them, would she have gained more powers and be recognized as the mo
Towards A Happy Ending…“Powers that don’t relate to each other?” Mahi muttered and looked at Kulv. Suddenly, his eyes widened when he realized something. “You… and Iero…” he muttered.“Yes.” Reyan nodded in affirmation. “Kulv’s power is time while Iero’s power is healing, which is related to the soil power, that is, the plant type.” He spoke. “But, Kulv’s power is time, which not related to Iero’s power at all.” He shook his head.Everyone’s expression changed as they pondered over this.“You…” Blue stared at Kulv. “Could it be, you and Iero aren’t actually blood-related…
Towards A Happy Ending…Everyone fell silent as they looked at Blue. They found out about Blue’s past, about what happened to his original world, when they were in the secret world of the Elf Community in Loheiruchel’s world. That Blue’s world also suffered an apocalypse and his parents had to use their magic to make Blue cross to another world to save Blue, which led to Blue here in their world.“So, due to an apocalypse in the witch’s world, she opened a portal leading to the other worlds, and managed to reach our world?” Laggas spoke, summarizing what Reyan told them.Reyan nodded. “That is right.” he answered.“No wonder her means are very ruthless.” Mahi
Towards A Happy Ending…Iero looked at Hierro with his mouth open in shock. “This… how can you be so sure?” he asked. His face is filled with bewilderment. “The moon goddess is really…?” he muttered with his brows knitted in confusion.Hierro took a deep breath. He already expected that Iero would react like this. “I know that it is really hard to believe.” He said and sighed. “Considering that the moon goddess is the one who told us about the truth… about the witch…” he said.Ierro nodded in agreement. Because the moon goddess told them about the witch, they naturally felt grateful for it since they now know who is their true enemy.“Bu
Towards A Happy Ending … In the fifth kingdom. “What did you say?!” Iero exclaimed in shock when he heard what Hierro told him. “Mahi… he… as well as Skye and Laggas… they would…?!” he muttered as his eyes widened in disbelief. “They would stay back in the West Kingdom to delay the witch from catching Hail until Hail reaches the fifth kingdom?!” he asked. Mahi, Skye, and Laggas would stay in the West Kingdom to prevent the witch from chasing Hail to escape to the fifth kingdom which the witch could never enter again. But, this makes Mahi, Skye, and Laggas be in a very dangerous position! Not to mention that it is still uncertain whether they could really stop the witch from advancing to catch Hail. It is not that Iero has no confidence with their friends, especially towards his lover. But, confidence is different from arrogance. They could never be certain about everything, especially when their enemy is a terrifying being, a witch! And they don’t know much about their enemy! So,
Towards A Happy Ending…West Kingdom, royal castle.Everyone looked at Hail, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, with a complicated gaze while feeling both helpless and distressed. Hail fell asleep again, and his body turned cold once again even before the day could end! They were just about to celebrate tonight because Hail finally woke up. This means that they don’t need to follow their initial plan of splitting into two groups with one group doing a very dangerous task of holding back the witch from chasing Hail, who is in the other group which would bring Hail to the fifth kingdom to hide since the witch won’t be able to enter there.But, who would have expected that Hail would suddenly faint just after sundown, and when Sybb and
Towards A Happy Ending…Everyone’s eyes widened in shock, horror, and disbelief after they heard what Reyan said. “WHAT?!” they exclaimed as their faces turned pale.Blue’s face was almost devoid of color as he stared at Reyan with widened eyes. “How… how could this…” he muttered as his entire body trembled in fear. He still couldn’t believe it but he knew that Reyan wouldn’t lie to them.So, just imagining what Yuria and Aria had gone through made him shudder in fear. Suddenly, this made him think. Is the witch able to steal his, a fairy, powers, too? If she could, then, wouldn’t he suffer worse than what Yuria and Aria had, since a fairy’s powers came from their soul?
Towards A Happy Ending…At first, Blue thought that it was just Hail who matured. But, Blue was wrong. Hail… he never smiled again. And it is because of the problems that he bore. Of course, everyone has a problem that they bear. But, Blue knows that for Hail, he has more problems than them. Not only a problem that is related to his family, not only a problem that is related to his friends, but also a problem that is related to himself, and these problems could greatly affect the world.Blue closed his eyes as he suddenly recalled that time when he first met Hail. It was a very fine day, and the birds were chirping like music to the ears. It was just a perfect day to meet and make friends.Fifteen years ago.
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,
