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…“Blue?” Kulv called when he saw that Blue was in a daze. “What is wrong?” he asked and held the other’s shoulder.Blue blinked, then shook his head as he turned to his lover and smiled to reassure him. “It is nothing.” He answered.Reyan looked at Blue whose expression didn't look good. “Although I hate to tell you this, since I don’t want to worry not only you, but also the others – “ he said and took a deep breath as he stared at Blue.Blue’s heart skipped a beat. Even if he doesn’t look at Reyan, but just listening to the other’s solemn voice, it is obvious that what Reyan is going to say is not good.“What is it?” Kulv immediately asked as he held Blue’s hand tight to comfort Blue.“ – but… I am afraid that Blue… he might also be targeted by the witch.” Reyan finally said.A deafening silence fell as they all looked at Blue whose eyes widened in shock.“Why?!” Kulv was stunned.“Reyan.” Skye called. “Not to mention that Blue is from another world and not o
Towards A Happy Ending…Everyone was silent as they all listened to Laggas’ voice speaking. Now that it came to this… they all looked at Laggas, who is sitting across Reyan.“But now, as we thought about it – “ Laggas continued. “ – you didn’t ask that earlier just to refute Skye’s words, did you?” he asked and looked at his lover.Reyan lowered his head and closed his eyes. But, nonetheless, he answered. “Yes.” He nodded, being honest. “There is indeed another reason for why the witch would target Blue.” He told them.Everyone sucked in a sharp breath when they heard Reyan’s answer. Even though they have now realized this, stil
Towards A Happy Ending…“Well, everything comes from one’s imagination.” A deep, male voice suddenly spoke from behind them.Skye, Hail, and Blue turned, only to see a man wearing green clothes with a wide hat on his head walk out among the trees, and a guitar was strapped behind him.“Reyan!” Hail exclaimed in joy when he saw Reyan. “You finally arrived!” he said and grinned as he ran towards Reyan who stopped and stood not far from them.“Reyan.” Skye spoke when he saw their teacher.Blue curiously looked at this man named ‘Reyan’. Fortunately for him, he isn’t
Towards A Happy Ending…“That day, everyone was horrified when they saw that a transparent figure came out of Aria’s body.” Reyan spoke. Only his voice can be heard amidst the silence as Skye, Laggas, Sybb, and Mahi listened. “Then, this figure slowly solidified right in front of their eyes, until this figure looked no different from the humans.” He said.“The witch.” They all muttered.Reyan nodded in affirmation. “Yes. But, this figure introduced itself as the ‘moon goddess’.” He told them.They all sneered in anger.“Truly shameless!” Mahi said. His expression turned cold.
Towards A Happy Ending…A deafening silence fell after Reyan stopped speaking, telling them Hierro’s thoughts about the witches. Reyan didn’t speak since he knows that everyone hates the witch – their enemy. But, he couldn’t not tell them about what Hierro said, since they are all facts. That indeed, the witch cured their ancestors’ illness. If it was not for her, their ancestors would have died, and they all wouldn’t be here now. That also means the witch never killed anyone in the past. Aside from her ambition to rule this world, she was actually a good person, and even kind to her subordinates since she converted their prayers to powers and gifted it to her subordinates – albeit she deceived them, and that the prayers came from her subordinates. So, had it not been of the witch, they all wouldn’t have t
Towards A Happy Ending…“Aren’t I just seeking for my death?” Reyan asked and smiled at Hierro. Although he can travel to other worlds, he doesn’t know yet if he can still do so after he died in one of these worlds.But, of course, he thinks that it would be a real end for him.Hierro just snorted and refused to look at him. “Whatever you say.” He just said.“So, can you tell me now?” Reyan spoke as he stared at Hierro. “What idea do you have about the method that the witch might have used to steal the power of Yuria that day?” he asked him.Hierro turned back to look at him. His face is serious. “Through the eyes.” He answered.“… huh?” Reyan was taken aback. “The eyes…?” he muttered, looking skeptical.Hierro nodded in affirmation. “Yes. An eye contact.” He told him.Reyan’s expression turned serious when he seemed to recall something. “It was said that the eyes are the windows of the souls…” he spoke. “So this was what you thought the method that the witch used…” he muttered as he
Towards A Happy Ending…“This goes without saying.” Laggas said and looked at Reyan, who is sitting beside him with his back leaning on the couch and his face is still pale.Reyan is currently weaker than ever after he teleported her that caused him to be weaker. And now that he is also here in the West Kingdom, where the witch is nearing, Reyan now is also in danger like Hail. Not to mention that Reyan is also now the weakest among them. This is double the danger!“But, what should we do, then?” Kulv asked, making them all think that they are back to square one – that is, planning a counterattack.“If our eyes can’t be covered since we won’t be able to fight – “ Blue said. “ – how about we cover the witch’s eyes, then?” he asked.They all looked at him.“This way, not only will she be unable to make eye contact with us and steal our powers, but also – “ Blue continued. “ – she won’t be able to fight against us!” he told them.Everyone was shocked.“That is right!” Skye muttered when
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,
