Towards A Happy Ending…“Such a dirty trick… as expected of a ‘goddess’.” Mahi sarcastically spoke when he and Kulv returned and heard what Laggas said. “The goddess of deception.” He said and sneered.“Pft.” Skye, Sybb, and Laggas laughed when they heard what Mahi said.“I totally agree with ‘goddess of deception’.” Kulv said and grinned.“If she really is a goddess.” Laggas snorted.Sybb just smiled at their words.“But, fortunately, the witch is still a human like us and not a goddess.” Skye said as his expression turned se
Towards A Happy Ending…While Sybb, Laggas, Skye, Mahi, and Kulv are chatting in the castle before Sybb, Laggas, and Skye sleep, in the Golden Forest, there is a small house made of mud that can be seen in the middle of the countless black and leafless trees. Inside this small mud house is a hammock that is made of the branches of the trees, and on it lies the witch whom Sybb, Laggas, and Skye fought against today.The witch turned over in her sleep, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Her brows are tightly knitted and her lips were pulled down to a frown since she is not having a good sleep. Obviously, she is having a nightmare. And it was about the worst, as well as the last, memories that she had before she had completely weakened with her powers, and then fallen into a deep and long sleep, until she woke up ten years ago.“Ugh…” the witch groaned as she made another turn in the hammock, to which gently swayed and creaked.Her long, white hair draped down and touched the ground. She
Towards A Happy Ending…The witch’s eyelids trembled as she curled up in the hammock, looking like a child. Her lips were also pursed, looking aggrieved. She knows that what happens next will be many deaths – both of her kin and the mortals and other beings, as well as her elder sister’s. But, her mind can’t stop from recalling the tragedy of that day…“Why is she here?” one of the girls asked and frowned when they saw Henna was escaping with them.“Yes… she is a disaster star. We shouldn’t have brought her with us!” another girl said as she glared at Henna.The parents of these girls looked awkward, but they didn’t stop th
Towards A Happy Ending…“Hateful… hateful!” the witch sobbed in her sleep as she clenched her fists tight while her brows were knitted tight. Her tears streamed down her face as she cried. “Sister… sister…!” she murmured, calling for her dead sister’s name, Laura, whose blood was spilt among the blood of the other witches and wizards in the city – to which is her nightmare until now.She could still vividly remember the mutilated corpses of her kin when she finally reached the place where they held the ritual. Along with those corpses were her sister’s corpse, which was the worst. Hatred and sorrow filled her heart, to which made her slaughter those mortals who were chasing her that day. She already killed some of them, so it was no problem if she would kill more!“Sister…” the witch sniffled as she curled up on the hammock while her body shuddered after the cold, late night wind blew and touched her skin. She could no longer remember their father and mother.All she could remember w
Towards A Happy Ending…The witch gnashed her teeth in anger as cold sweat broke in her forehead when he reached this part of her memories – the memories which she never wanted to remember again. For this was the start of her learning compassion, to which was paid back with malice! She also learned how to trust later, but was only repaid by betrayal! She also felt pride, only to suffer in endless shame!So, how can she want to recall all of these? Of course, she never wanted to! But, today, she was extremely exhausted. Her will to stop her mind from recalling all these was grinded down, thus these awful memories haunted her again.The witch’s brows knitted as she placed a finger on one of the people’s foreheads and used her powers to understand what they were saying by knowing their thoughts. Then, her eyes widened in surprise when she found out that they actually think that she is a goddess! And, a moon goddess?!“What… I – “ the witch was taken aback as she looked at them in shock.
Towards A Happy Ending:…“Hah… hah… stop – “ the witch sobbed when she recalled the time when those people worshiped her as the moon goddess. She was really very happy since for the first time in her life, someone – and also more people, has finally appreciated her.They liked her, unlike her kin back in her world who all scorned her. They were prejudiced with her, but the people of this world all appreciate her. Her kin in her world were all mean to her, unlike the people of this world who were very kind to her. Her kin were jealous of her, but the people of this world all praised her. Her kin have alienated her, but the people of this world all worshiped her.So, it is no surprise for the witch to be very happy to find these people who are good to her. Thus, she became drowned of happiness and got used to their warm welcome. But, in the end, it turned out worthless. All of it was dispensable in front of personal interests. The warmth… the sincerity… the kindness at first all disapp
Towards A Happy Ending…“Ah… hah!” the witch gasped as she clutched her chest when she felt it hurt. Her fists were clenched tight and her long nails dug deep on her palm, piercing her skin that instantly bleed. But, it was as if she didn’t feel the pain, for the pain in her heart is greater.Emotional and psychological pain are more painful than physical pain. She knows this the most since wasn’t beaten by her peers or was thrown eggs by their kin, nor was she slapped by her elder sister. But, instead, she was repeatedly insulted, mocked and ridiculed, and falsely accused. She was also scolded by her elder sister – the only family she has, who she thought would defend her, protect her, and believe her. Even though her elder sister finally did, it was too late.The pain in her heart will never disappear, for the scars in there will never be healed. It will forever bleed. Not to mention that her mind has already turned into a poor state because she was alone in her previous world. No
Towards A Happy Ending…“Huh… huh…” the witch muttered while she gasped for breath. Her chest heaved up and down as her entire body was bathed in sweat due to her having a nightmare, which made her extremely uncomfortable.Her emotions are becoming more and more out of control. Her powers violently hit the mud house which instantly cracked wherever it hit. Her long, white hair billowed without wind, and her powers swirled around her hair, making it look like it had been dyed red, or been splashed with blood. Either way, it looked extremely demonic.“No…” the witch sobbed as she tightly clutched the hammock where she was lying down. Her nails dug in the hammock, piercing it just like her nightmares are piercing her heart many times. “No…!” she shook her head.But, her nightmares won’t stop, especially now that they are about to reach the end.“Ah!” the witch cried when she felt her entire body ached, as if her flesh from the inside was tearing. “No… No!” she wildly shook her head. But
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,
