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…Night.“They are originally the owners of these powers, so – “ Hierro took a deep breath and looked at Reyan in the eyes. “ – have you ever thought how powerful they would be under the control of the witch, who could unleash their full potential?” he asked. “As well as how dangerous they would be.” He added.Reyan stared at the clear night sky where you could faintly see the stars from behind the clouds that thinned, showing that the rain was about to end. And by then, the witch’s powers would return to their peak, which would make their battle against her harder. So, it would definitely be a bitter fight.But, as long as they can hold on, as long as there is hope… Reyan clenched his fists as he took a deep breath. They will fight to death! Just that – “They might be controlled by the witch.” He muttered when he recalled what Hierro told him.If their friends could already be this strong, then how would they be if they unleash their potential? And how stronger
Towards A Happy Ending…In the fifth kingdom, Hierro frowned as he placed a hand on his forehead when he suddenly realized something after his and Iero’s meeting with their elders – Sykh, Aria, Yuria, and Laila, whom they told about the plan of the other group who was currently in the West Kingdom, earlier. All this while… Why didn’t he realize it?Before, they all thought that the powers inside Hail’s body came from the moon goddess after the moon goddess resurrected Hail and the moon goddess had to place all her powers inside Hail’s body to do so. It was the only way to save Hail. Then, Hail’s power had started to go berserk, only for them to discover that there was the moon goddess’ consciousness inside Hail’s body! The moon goddess’ consciousne
Towards A Happy Ending…In the West Kingdom.“Ah…” everyone looked at each other after they heard what Blue told them. Their expressions looked lost since they don’t know what to think, nor what to feel.“The powers inside Hail’s body… we still don’t know where it exactly came from.” Skye spoke after a while of silence. “Whether it was really the witch’s own power, or the power that the witch refined from our ancestors’ prayers.” He said.Mahi nodded. “The moon goddess’ actions really are confusing.” He said and sighed. “Was she really our ally, or actually another enemy?” he asked.
Towards A Happy Ending…Blue clenched his fists and lowered his head. Of course, he wanted to live. He badly wanted to live since he wanted to be with Kulv! After he lost his family, he only had Kulv. So, why would he want to die? But, if his death could ensure Kulv’s life… as well as Iero and their friends’ lives, Blue doesn’t feel that it is bad. He can sacrifice himself as long as everyone, especially Kulv, is okay –Suddenly, a weak voice spoke, cutting his thoughts. “Blue…” it called.They all turned and were shocked when they saw that it was Hail! “Hail!” they all exclaimed in surprise when they saw that Hail woke up.“You’re now awake!&rd
Towards A Happy Ending…“So, what does it mean when your powers are ‘innate’?” Hierro asked Reyan as he leaned his back on his chair. “Your powers were born with you. Then, what happens to your innate powers?” he asked and looked at Reyan.Reyan’s expression doesn’t look good. He knows that what Hierro is gonna say is not good just like earlier, but he had to listen since he knows that Hierro would not speak nonsense, especially when he talks with him, and that their current situation is very dangerous.“Compared with our friends’ powers who could be stronger when they unleash their potential – “ Hierro spoke, not needing Reyan to answer. “ – the strength of
Towards A Happy Ending…Two days later.“It is finally here.” they said as they looked at the clear and bright blue sky where the sun is shining brilliantly and without even a cloud can be seen.“Yeah… she is finally here.” Mahi said as they all watched the dark mist mixed with red approach the Golden Forest afar.The rain has finally stopped, and so are their peaceful days. But, their battle against the witch is just the beginning.They all watched as the dark and red mist in the horizon became bigger, and the golden leaves of the trees in the Golden Forest instantly turned black as if charred by the mist. Then, the black leaves turned to as
Towards A Happy Ending…Iero fidgeted on his seat as their carriage left the fifth kingdom. Not only is he itching to see Mahi and Kulv, his elder brother, again after not seeing them for a long time, he is also anxious to cure Hail after Hierro told him that his healing power could evolve and he may be able to cure Hail, as well as Reyan!Hail’s power is already destructive, then there is Reyan’s unfathomable powers. So, as long as he cures his friends, they would have a bigger chance to defeat the witch!Hierro saw Iero’s both anxious and serious expressions and he smiled. “It will be okay.” He told Iero.Iero looked at him. “Yes… everything will be alright.” He said
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,
