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…“AAAAH!!!!” The witch screamed as the entire space inside the mud house shook, causing the mud house to also shake.Cracks can be seen in the walls and ceiling of the mud house, and it is threatening to crumble while the shaking of the space inside caused by the witch’s power going out of control becomes violent as the witch’s emotions reach the peak.“AH!” the witch screamed when she felt that her entire body was going to explode. She can’t… she can’t die yet! She still hasn’t killed them! She still hasn’t finished killing them all!Her eyes flashed red as her pupils glowed brightly, but the color became darker. She will not die! She will kill them first!The witch’s eyes were filled with viciousness as she took deep breaths, her chest heaving up and down, while she suppressed her turbulent emotions. “I… will kill them!” she spoke in a hoarse voice as her body slowly descended on the ground. Then, her eyes slowly closed, and her body fell after it lost its st
Towards A Happy Ending…The witch’s power swirled inside the mud house. When it saw the witch fall to the ground, it moved and slowly lifted her body up, then placed her back on the hammock to continue to sleep. This sleep that seemed horrible earlier now turned back to normal after the witch, who recalled her goal again and her anger was reignited, was able to suppress her fears, thus fighting against her nightmares.The witch’s power, seeing that the witch has calmed, also became ‘behaved’ as it is now swirling gently inside the mud house, ‘checking’ every corner just like a ‘child’. Meanwhile, its owner now is breathing evenly while lying on the hammock, dreaming of the last memories that she had before she had fallen on a very long sleep.The witch’s power, seeing that its owner now has calmed down and seemed to not be going emotionally unstable again due to her nightmare, also calmed down. Reassuring itself, it returned inside the witch’s body then.And so begins the end……The
Towards A Happy Ending…The witch’s knitted brows have relaxed and the frown on her lips have eased. The expression on her face is showing that she is at peace, as if what she has been dreaming are not awful memories, but actually the happiest times that she had – albeit she has none. Not even happy ones, since she was never happy at all even if she went to the city against her elder sister’s wishes to have ‘fun’. Instead of finding fun, she felt bored, and even disgusted, after seeing the vanity of the mortals who were vying for attention and looking for fame, as well as power (authority).The witch’s power inside her body wanted to go to its owner’s dreams. But, sensing that its owner’s emotions were calm despite the dreams that she is having were actually ju
Towards A Happy Ending…Near the borders of the West Kingdom.Tonight is destined to be a very long night. Amidst the howling of the wind that also seemed to be sobbing as it hit against the walls of the speeding carriage, carrying two people and one fairy inside, that is heading towards the fifth kingdom, whimpers could also be heard from inside the carriage as they contend against the sounds of the wheels creaking while groaning as it hit some pebbles and rocks on the ground.“Hail… what is wrong with Hail?” Reyan asked in confusion as he looked at Blue whose forehead was sweating as Blue checked Hail’s body in case the witch did something again to Hail, even if they had already reached this far.Earlier, Reyan and Blue decided on who will sleep first. Blue wanted for Reyan to sleep first and then they would switch shifts on the later half of the night. But, Reyan insisted for Blue to sleep first. Even if Blue is a fairy, fairies still needed to rest – especially since Blue has bee
Towards A Happy Ending…Not only Reyan’s power is weak now, but his body is also becoming weaker. If Reyan just not has a high mental fortitude to resist this power, which is even just faint, Reyan would not be able to wake up Blue – who was caught off-guard by this power earlier, and his emotions, where his powers based as a fairy, was made into a mess earlier.This was what made them both feel negatively earlier that caught them off-guard because they didn’t expect for something to Hail again. This made Blue almost hurt Hail that could lead to unimaginable consequences. Fortunately, Reyan was always sober and woke him up in time. Or else…Blue shook his head, didn’t dare think further. “Fortunately, what happened is not all
Towards A Happy Ending…“As long as they are safe, then half of our worries would be gone, right?” Blue asked and smiled as he looked at Reyan in the eyes. His long and curled eyelashes fanned his golden pupils that seemed to be able to penetrate his soul.Reyan’s heart skipped a beat, then it beat fast, slamming hard against his chest that has now thinned because of his body deteriorating as a result of his injuries from fighting against the witch ten years ago – the same is true with his powers that he is slowly losing. Reyan has a feeling that Blue could see through him – seeing his thoughts. But he knows that Blue will not use his psychic powers to probe their thoughts again, for this is what he promised to them before when they were still in Loheiruchel’s world after
Towards A Happy Ending…Iero looked at Hierro’s face. Seeing that Hierro’s complexion did look better, Iero was relieved. “That’s good, then.” He said and smiled before he lowered his head to hide the shock that he can’t hold back in his heart anymore.What the hell was that?! Iero thought as his hand on his lap hidden under the table clenched into fists and trembled. Was that thing inside Hierro’s head the cause why Hierro felt somewhat strange lately? He thought as he secretly glanced at Hierro whose head is leaning on the wall of the carriage to take a nap. If it is, then if I can remove it, Hierro will return to normal, right? he thought as he clenched his fists tightly, feeling determined. It is just that… his gaze lowered. He doesn’t know what that thing inside Hierro’s head is.Since he was treating Hierro earlier, he had to act normal so that Hierro won’t notice anything and felt alarmed, then would worry. This will just add to their current worries as they head to the West K
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,
