Bardecks’ residence.
“The guardian of the Gate in the flesh!” Raima exclaimed after they saw Vira who was sitting on the couch while drinking fresh juice.
Arlen was also surprised to see a real guardian herself and not just any incarnation. But, because he is still aggrieved by what happened not only between him and Yris but also between him and his younger brother Raima, he was silent the whole day. Even when their classmates and schoolmates, including the teachers, asked where Yris was, Arlen only gave a perfunctory reply.
Raine and Vermeil noticed that Arlen was not in the mood and knew what he was feeling so it was the two who told the teachers that Yris had some errand for the school principal. The teachers know that Yris is like half an assistant to Raeyan so they didn’t ask any more ab
“There are other space ability users?!” they exclaimed in surprise after they heard what Vira said.“Yes…” Vira answered. “But Neid said that either the other space ability users have hidden… or they went to other worlds using their power of space.” She said.“But… How can this be? How can he not know about the existence of the other space ability users?” Seph asked and frowned. As the incarnation of Neid, he felt that the guardian of space is stupid. Which makes him (Seph) feel insulted.He, Seph, admits that he is a sly person. Or else he wouldn’t have gained the trust of the person he likes – Raima. So, Seph feels nothing like the guardian, Neid. Not at all!“Well, about this&hellip
It was extremely silent as Yris continued to speak. They didn’t expect that there would be more truth from the truths that they heard! And it is all about Raine, whom they thought was an ordinary youth like them – well, aside from his temperament.“What… what do you mean by that?” Raine asked as his pupils trembled. Obviously, he didn’t expect to hear more stories about his life which he should have known but didn’t know.“Raine…” Yris muttered and sighed. “This world has no magic, unlike the Elhasa Kingdom that is brimming with it… where I should have sprouted and grown and gained human form.” He spoke. “But… in this world, I also did.” He looked at Raine. “Not only did I survive and grow… I also even gained a human form. And the only one who raised
“That means that brother and I can enter the Gate to go to Elhasa Kingdom.” Raine muttered as he looked at Vira who nodded in affirmation.“Then… they can go there in that kingdom now?” Raima muttered as he looked at Raine and Raeyan in surprise.“It is not as if they want to go there.” Seph commented and also looked at Raine and Raeyan who are silent, obviously showing that they don’t like the Elhasa Kingdom despite it being their ancestors’ roots, and they haven’t even seen it yet for them to judge it.But because of the Elhasa Kingdom’s matters affecting their lives that could even endanger them to death, Raeyan and Raine didn’t like the Elhasa Kingdom. They hate it, especially since their friends were also dragged into this.Vira heaved a sad sigh. The moment that she saw Raeyan, she knew that he would be difficult to deal with. Not because Raeyan is a serious person. In fact, a serious person is good. But what made Vira’s impression of Raeyan being difficult is Raeyan’s gaze when
“So, she plans to extract the princess’s powers from inside my body after she has recovered her strength – “ Raine spoke as he and Vermeil walked down the street while looking around the shops downtown. “ – then combine it with her alchemy to absorb the ice that entirely covered the Elhasa Kingdom.” He said.Vermeil nodded in affirmation as he looked at the accessories sold by the merchants. “She could have done it from the beginning, but with her remaining powers left after taking the guardians’ powers to this world so that the enemies wouldn’t be able to take it or destroy it, the guardian of the Gate had to send the guardians’ powers to others for them to temporarily keep it.’ He said.“And these ‘others’ are us, the ‘chosen ones’.” Raine sarcastically smiled as he picked up an anklet and studied its design.Vermeil looked at him. Today, they had a school field trip. It is still very early for their school to have a field trip, but Raeyan used his authority to conduct a school fiel
Night.“Yris.” Raine called when he saw that Yris stood beside him, which is surprising since Yris would stand beside Arlen after they all found out who are the ‘incarnations’ of the guardians.Also, when Lovis appeared, it was Lovis who stood beside Raine if not Vermeil who would find the chance to do so (stand beside Raine). Yet now, Yris is on his side.“Yes?” Yris answered.“Are you and Arlen still quarreling?” Raine asked.Yris froze, then he fell silent. In fact, this can’t be considered a quarrel with Arlen. It is just a cold war. Both of them are stubborn. Yris knows that Arlen lied to Raima because Arlen is protective of Raima, while Arlen lied, which disappointed Yris, who should have understood Arlen’s situation. Both are at fault, but neither of them wanted to admit that they are wrong.“It’s fine.” Yris exhaled a breath as he glanced at Arlen who was chatting with Vermeil, who actually wanted to be the one standing beside Raine yet Yris beat him to it.Raine looked at Yri
“The rain has now stopped.” Vira spoke, which woke everyone from their daze. “Who’s up next?” she asked as she turned to look at Seph, Raima, and Vermeil who are the remaining ones to be awakened tonight.“I – I want to try!” Raima answered as he raised his hand. His face is slightly pale, but his eyes showed his determination.Arlen and Seph wanted to stop Raima, but then also recalled that they can’t protect him forever. Raima will still be awakened soon by Vira. So, what is the difference between now and later? Also, seeing the determined gaze of Raima, they can’t say words of objection. Raima needed to grow, so they had to let Raima do it. Thus, they didn’t voice out their objections and let Raima be awakened first by Vira.“What a brave young warrior!” Vira smiled, feeling pleased with Raima’s actions.Raima raised his head and puffed out his chest with pride. He knows that his elder brother is always worried about him, but that is because he is weak which made his elder brother
“Raima!” Arlen and Seph called after Vira and Lovis were done awakening Raima.They watched as Raima’s body fell on the ground like a kite with a broken string. Raima lost all of his strength and his body felt empty. As Raine said earlier, Raima really lost consciousness as an effect of awakening. His face is also very pale. If not for his chest moving up and down as he breathed, they would think that Raima is… dead.They all shook their heads to shake off the thoughts in their minds. They can’t say something so unlucky! And they are already unlucky enough to have the Elhasa Kingdom’s matters pushed to them!“How is he?” Raeyan asked Yris as Yris checked Raima’s condition using his healing power. Arlen and Seph anxiously looked at Yris, waiting for the other’s answer. It was as if what Yris is going to say is a death sentence for them. Fortunately, it was good news.“He is fine. It was overfatigue.” Yris answered and smiled to reassure them.Seeing that Raima’s complexion really imp
“Brother still hasn’t returned?” Raine frowned when he saw that there was no shadow of Raeyan around. It was more than an hour has passed yet Raeyan still can’t be seen.“Nothing happened to him… did it?” Zedrick asked.“It shouldn’t be…” Yris muttered as his brows knitted. His tone sounds uncertain, though.Raine frowned. With their enemies looming over them… it is hard to say whether an ‘incarnation’ has met a mishap or not.“I will go and find him.” Vermeil spoke as he looked at Raine.“No. You can’t go.” Raine shook his head. “You will be the one awakened next after Seph. So, you have to stay here.” He told Vermeil.“I can go and find Raeyan.” Yris said.Everyone looked at him. They now know that fairies also have a tracing skills, so Yris should be able to find Raeyan.“You can’t.” Raine spoke and looked at Yris. “Raima needs you right now… this is a critical condition.” He told Yris.Yris shut up. He looked at Arlen and Raima before he sighed in defeat. “Then who will go look fo
“I see! Then, we don’t have to fight anymore!” Raima said, beaming happily.“The guardians could also help Raine fight against Nicht, right?” Arlen said.But, Raeyan is silent.“What’s wrong?” Zedrick asked.“Ah! It couldn’t be – “ Luoie muttered when he realized something.“What is it?” they asked him.“Since Raine now has become the guardian of ice, then – “ Luoie looked at them. “ – the responsibility to thaw the Elhasa Kingdom should fall on Raine’s shoulders… right?” he said.“Ah.” They muttered and froze when they now understood.“This… how will Raine do it?!” Arlen asked, feeling anxious.“He doesn’t have the guardian of the Gate by his side right now to guide him.” Seph said and looked at Vira.Lovis started. “I will wake her up!” he said and ran towards Vira.“But even if your sister wakes up, there is still Nicht who wanted to kill her.” Luoie told Lovis.“The other guardians could protect the guardian of the Gate, right?” Raima asked. “Not only because she is their friend,
“Will you really let me off even if I have Elhasan blood?” Raeyan asked back.“Yes.” Nicht nodded. “I can even let him off.” He said and looked at Yris, who was stunned.Raeyan glanced at Yris. “Not possible.” He answered.Nicht’s face instantly darkened. “Child, don’t ask for more – “ he said.But Raeyan cut him off. “What I mean is, I also have a brother.” He spoke.Nicht looked at him. “Who? I can let him off, too, who also has Elhasan blood – “ he said.Raeyan cut him off again. “Are you sure? Will you not regret your decision?” he looked at him.Nicht paused and then fell silent. “Child, so your brother is the princess’s counterpart?” he asked as he smiled darkly.“Yes.” Raeyan nodded honestly.“Raeyan!” Yris cried, telling him not to spill any more information about Raine.But Raeyan ignored him.Nicht took a deep breath as he weighed his decisions. “I can let him off.” He finally spoke. “But, that is if he loses the power of the princess as the princess’ counterpart.” He told R
“I have always been suspicious as to why Alf would go on a journey to strengthen herself.” Vira spoke as she looked at Nicht. “It was because you had someone tell her that to make her send herself into danger.” She said.The others looked at Nicht in shock at his sinister plan! Nicht planned so meticulously!“But, he didn’t succeed…” Luoie muttered.Nicht just smiled. “At least I did (succeed) that time.” He said. He is referring to ambushing the king on the eve of Alf’s birthday and making Alf freeze the entire Elhasa Kingdom.Their expressions turned complicated. They don’t know how to feel about this.“What crime did the king commit against you?” Zedrick asked.Nicht looked at him. “Not only me… but our entire clan!” he said.They were taken aback. ‘the entire clan’? they thought as their hearts skipped a beat. It couldn’t be that it was Nicht and his kin?! They thought and looked at Nicht in shock. Then, what Lovis (or Vira) said before about Nicht not knowing that he actually has
Inside the portal, or the Elhasan called the ‘Gate’, is the extremely white Elhasa Kingdom buried in the wide blanket of snow.“Tell me! What reason do you have to kill the king and bury the entire kingdom under snow?!” Lovis asked. “Which may last forever?!” he can’t hide his anger anymore.Meanwhile, Vira used her power to transfer the power of the second space ability user to Seph, who has fallen unconscious and is still unresponsive until now. Yris is using his powers to wake Seph up while Raima is crying as he knelt beside Seph. Zedrick, Arlen, and Luoie are protecting Vira and Yris, who are doing their best to make Seph responsive, as well as Raima and Seph.“Lovis! Don’t waste your breath and kill him now!” Vermeil told Lovis and was about to finish off the first space ability user, but the first space ability user spoke.“No need to kill me! I will do it myself!” the first space ability user said and closed his eyes.Lovis and Vermeil’s eyes widened in shock as they watched th
Raeyan, Yris, Vermeil, Zedrick, Arlen, Raima, Seph, and Luoie refrain themselves from showing any reactions while Lovis and Vira indifferently scoff after hearing what Nicht said.“Oh.” Nicht muttered when he understood something. “You hid her… or was it him?” he asked and glanced at Yris who is now the guardian of nature and wind like Griezel. “Where is Alf’s counterpart?” he asked as he looked at each of them.‘counterpart’… this is the right term for Raine, Raeyan, Yris, Vermeil, Arlen, Zedrick, Luoie, Raima, and Seph. They are not the reincarnations or incarnations of the guardians, since their souls are their own while the souls of the guardians are still in Elhasa Kingdom. The powers of the guardians were also ‘borrowed’ by them.“You hid him?” Nicht asked and smiled, though he is obviously angry since they could feel his oppressive pressure which is harder to bear than earlier.Raeyan and the others held on. Raeyan has already trained them for this, including Raima.“Oho?” Nich
“They’re here.” Raeyan spoke as they looked at the glowing portal that was becoming brighter than before.“The barrier… it is totally broken.” Yris spoke as he took a deep breath.“Things will be fine… right?” Raima nervously asked as he looked at them. “After all, there are just four of them… right?” he said as they looked at the four people that came out of the portal.Yes… There are only four people right now that came out of the portal. But, they feel very tense since they could feel the oppressive power coming from them. These four people are their enemies – the real enemies, the ones who conspired against Alf, her father the king, and her friends who are her guardians. These four people took Alf and her loved ones by surprise that now, the entire Elhasa Kingdom was frozen.If Raine and his friends won’t win, then not only the Elhasa Kingdom would be frozen forever… their world, too, would be frozen like the Elhasa Kingdom since the ice-cold temperature from the portal has now st
“Oh my god… I think I won’t be able to stand anymore!” Raima exclaimed as Arlen and Seph helped him walk with each of his arms on their shoulders.Zedrick is carrying Luoie on his back, while Raine and Vermeil are arguing since Vermeil wanted to also carry Raine, but Raine wouldn’t agree.“I wish they would have the same energy as always.” Yris muttered and sighed as he watched Raine and Vermeil still argue.“You are right. They would need this level of energy for the upcoming battles.” Raeyan spoke.The battle against the enemies definitely won’t stop until either their group would be killed by them, or they will kill them. This is just a matter of who kills who first. And it has to be them who kills the other, and not them being killed.“What should we do now?” Yris asked Raeyan as they looked at Raine. “In just an hour, it will be his birthday.” He said. His expression is heavy.Even if Raine would awaken and it would be to their advantage since Raine will finally be ‘inheriting’ A
The two people are not stupid and they know who is telling the truth and who is not. Compared to the guardian of the Gate’s brother, he is more trustworthy than those space ability users who always hide in the dark and have suspicious objectives.The guardian of the Gate betraying her friend, the princess, and the kingdom? And then attacking them? Then why was no one able to defeat her, who is on her lonesome, while they have many people on their side? And Rayven, the most loyal knight, to usurp the throne for his lover? Rayven is not stupid since not only it would be unfavorable for him and Vira to fight the guardians who even have two gods – Tet and Phyros, and three immortals – Theos, Hores, and Neid, Rayven would have a tainted reputation if he would ever usurp the throne and become the king. Thus, the people would lose their trust in him, and they would also rebel.Of course, Rayven is the most loyal person to the Elhasa Kingdom, and so is Vira. Thus, it is impossible for them to
Margin Academy, a few days later.“Damn it! They are now really here!” Arlen cursed as they looked at the portal in the lake forest that was glowing brightly.The portal’s light enveloped the entire Margin Academy.“Vira and Lovis weren’t found by the enemies that they are staying here because of Yris’s barrier surrounding the entire Margin Academy and the Bardeck residence.” Zedrick spoke. “But, that doesn’t mean that they weren’t suspicious of this place, and don’t have the means to go here and check it out.” He said and frowned.The others nodded in agreement as they tensely looked at the lake forest while the enemies slowly came out one by one.“It was really a large army!” Raima exclaimed.“And there are really other beings included in their army.” Seph said.“Fortunately, there are no classes today.” Luoie sighed in relief.Their expressions turned complicated when they heard what Luoie said. Not only because Luoie cared for their classes at this time, making them feel not know
