We Took Another Turn, And This Time It's Darker
…
East Kingdom.
Yuria panted as he knelt before them. "Forgive me..." she said as a tear fell from her eye and she lowered her head. "We were too late..." she told them and sobbed.
Their eyes narrowed in anger.
"That is why I am trying to take him back..." Yuria said and looked at them. Her face is full of tears. "He is..." she said and lowered her gaze.
"Mother… you just…” Aria said and helplessly sighed as she placed a hand on her forehead. “Why do you have to do all these? Why didn’t you tell us?” she asked her. “And you… you even…!” she said as she gnashed her
We Took Another Turn, And This Time It's Darker…Skye’s eyes went wide, shocked."Skye?" the others called. "What happened?" they asked and looked at Reyan. "Reyan. What did you tell him?" they asked him when they saw Skye’s face pale."Skye." Jun called. His face is dark. Sylv is staring at Skye. His face is serious.Skye didn't answer. They know what Reyan told me. He thought as he looked at Jun and Sylv. Both are skilled guards so they know lip-reading."Hey, Skye. What did he tell you?" Laggas asked and looked at Reyan. "Reyan. What did you…?" he asked, but R
We Took Another Turn, And This Time It's Darker…Hierro sighed and looked at the leaves falling. "Only you, and Reyan, can see me now." he told them when he felt that person stopped behind him. He smiled, a sad smile, as he looked at himself.He is now as transparent as a ghost, literally."He still has memories of that country left." That person told him. They are referring to Hail.Hierro nodded in agreement. "Yeah. That is why I am still here, though barely." he said and smiled bitterly."You know that he will totally lose all his memories of that world." That person said. "Why are you still clinging in that small hope?" they asked.
It Is Getting More Serious and I Am Forgetting How To Breathe…"They say that you might find something out of this world under the moonlight of the full moon at midnight." Laggas said as he leaned on the tree, looking at him standing in the middle.They are in the autumn forest.Reyan smiled as he looked up at the sky. "Every one of you has different versions." He told him and laughed.But, Laggas didn't laugh as he looked at him with a serious expression on his face. "Where are you going?" he asked him.Reyan just smiled.Laggas’ eyes narrowed and stood straight. "Reyan. Are you going to leave me again?” he asked,
And We Took Another Turn, Since The Plot Changed Again…They looked at Hail who was awed by the sight as he looked around the West Kingdom and now is ignoring them."Is it Yuria again?" Sybb asked and looked at Sylv. His expression is serious. "I thought that she had already retreated.” He said and frowned."She did." Sylv answered. "And now she is fine after being freed from the control of the moon goddess.” he said.Sybb’s forehead knotted. "'moon goddess'?" he asked.Sylv nodded. "The same reason why Prince Hail is like that now." he explained and they looked at Hail."What is going on...?" Sybb asked in be
And We Took Another Turn, Since The Plot Changed Again…They are so shocked that they think that their brains stopped functioning. "T – the moon..." they said and looked outside, still shocked by what they found out."Yes." Sylv nodded. "It is as you think. The powers you use are drawn from the moon… to be exact, the force of the moon." He told them.They looked at him."And the force of the moon, to be exact, is the moon goddess who resided inside Prince Hail’s body, at the same time she passed her powers to him to revive him." Sylv continued. "She resided in Prince Hail’s body, since she controls the power, thus the powers and her are attached to each other." He explained. "And thus, P
Can't Remember Where We Left Off Because Many Stuff Are Just So Serious…"So, Hail's mind was reset because the moon goddess, who was residing inside his body, had left." Blue said as he tried to summarize what Jun and Sylv said. "Since the moon goddess holds the memories of Hail during the time he met us, which was the time after he has been revived by the moon goddess, allowing the moon goddess to reside inside his body, Hail’s memories were gone the moment she was gone." he finished."That is right." Sylv said as he poured their cups with tea. We'reThey are all currently in the garden, leaving Hierro and Hail inside still talking to each other. They looked as if they wouldn't stop talking."But..." Iero mutt
Can't Remember Where We Left Off Because Many Stuff Are Just So Serious…"I know that the goddess won't leave this world just like that, without telling Hail what he really is." Jun said and they all looked at Hail. "He has a task as big as this world. That is why – " he said and looked at Laggas. He smiled and patted Laggas’ head. " – don't lose hope yet. Your lover will be back." He told him and continued sipping tea. "I already told you, he cares about Hail so much." He added.They smiled."But, where could Reyan be now?" Sybb asked, puzzled.They looked at Jun."Well... as I have also told Laggas before – " Jun said and looked at them. " &
Can't Remember Where We Left Off Because Many Stuff Are Just So Serious…"Ah… the wind is too cold. Too cold…" Skye muttered and blew out air as he covered his face with the scarf when the sand blew past them."Yeah. The wind is getting harsher at this time of the year." His companion answered.Skye sighed.His companion just laughed. "Don’t you already know this?" he said and smiled.Skye frowned. "Why are you here with me, anyway?" He asked him. "I don't have an interest in you. My heart, body and soul is only Hierro's.” he told him.His companion laughed. "Same here. I only belong to him
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,
