I wait for atleast an incense of time before walk into the border of darkness and that hope of a place. I was greeted by the warmth and cold that trying to scan my identity. I smile when that happens and exclaim in my mind, “This is really is the Celestial City! This...is its way to realize one's wishes!”It wasn't until the fly of lights surround me that my mind shifted to the mystery of the place and this smallest of a living things. They were whispering something just like a blows of winds. Their wings is silence, yet their presence feels like those of intelligence. In an instant, they find comfort in my dress, fill colors of light in my white dress. “Wow!” I mumble for a chock, my eyes widened. “No way... Are they like me? Oh!” With that thought, my heart felt good. Though it's strange why they choose to surround and fill the spaces of my dress, I let it called as fate. Indeed, I'm fated to find them....and this place!Just as I thought of that, the breeze of winds tightened. Th
After giggling to babbling, she's silence the whole time. She's such a mad that I find it hard to believe every words she uttered. The thing about Celestial King is a new to me, not even in the fairytale I written that I stumble upon the term.We only stop once when the City Guard stop us, and it was with my horror that something about currency is needed to enter the central. For unknown reason, the scan earlier feels like nothing but an error. Phillie explain while looking weirdly this time, “You're not really aware, that's...possible. Well, as you can see you need celestial jade to enter the central. Top quality at that, Alta!”“Okay...” I pondered a bit and slowly walk into the bustling place. This place is far from what the system has in the palace, I can say. It's not that possible due to differences so I don't really mind. However, it's such shocking to the extreme I almost fear the consequence. What will happen if there's no Phillie? Seeing those City Guard boom my heart. The
Phillie, the next day, smiled lively. Upon the sight of a filthy like myself, her eyes sparkled. She said, “Alta, this is the d-day!”“Is it?” I smile the same, not trully believe the smile in her lips. How can she smile when I don't well-prepared?“Oh, wait,” she said the moment she notice something, her eyes look down upon my body. “Haven't you change?”I blink and my mouth halfly open. “Change what?”She look at me as if I'm some sort of a joke. “You seriously don't think of change?”“What's there to change? And what to change...” I look away, my cheeks heated. This is crazy. I don't know if she's being real or what, but I can't just think she really notice that I didn't change at all. The way she scan me, I know right away she's referring to my dress. In my time in the darkness, I don't think too much about it. Not that I smell bad or what. But perhaps the events of this day is so formal to change for attire?Thankfully, Phillie has an extra clothes. Unlike my dress, hers is cove
I don't know what happened to the grand opening. The moment I regain my consciousness, a white-haired middle-age man greet my very eyes and don't ever gives me a chance to ponder the grand room that is mix with white and blue. He said, the smile slowly rose up in his lips, “Princess, how are you feeling?”My heart freeze to beat and I gasped to find the words struck me very soul.He sigh to my reaction. “Even I thought you are assassin, but good thing the young prince hurrily explain the situation! So, apologize the lacking of the palace, hm?” His voice sounds dreamy, yet he's cunning to even see through. I even notice how busy he's searching through the deepest of my being, while continued the gibberish while his hearty laughter rung my ears. “Who have ever thought you are his bethroted when you are coming from the sea of commoners?” “What the hell my ears just came contact with right now?” My dagger of eyes pierce through this someone who only smile upon the sight of my waking up.
I will assume as a princess and accpet wholeheartedly being this young prince's bethroted. This isn't out of my will if that is in his mind, but somehow the feeling is strange with him that I can only act as pushover. There's a presence familiar within the young prince, and I have to unravel the mystery within it!The grand event just begun after the grand ceremy, and I have much time to reveal what's this familiar presence I felt from him while not risking to be his bethroted for life. He is such a highly being; his actually posture is no doubt of a royal existence. But how can a mere filthy like myself deserve such a person?There's certainty some foul scheme behind this all!“Are you okay this way, though?” He ask about the outfit. He sounded half amuse to my reaction, and I can only look away. My outfit especially is one of a commoner, and nothing especial about it. But his is something consider highlighted, though the outfit is of the rag and too least consider a commoner, but
The dining area is naturally those of a heavenly. No ordinary can even see the sight, nor the filthy such as myself. The table are shone bright and I barely able see through the dish. But for unknown reason, it reminds me to the palace, especially the moment the royal figure begun to interact.“Eat well, ija,” the woman in a grandeur outfit said, there's a hint of amusement in her voice. But this amusement is deadly, and couldn't consider one of a compliment.“I'll eat, ma'am,” I smile, covering the disappointment in my face. My voice tone bizzare, however she can only smile at it as if not at all notice the bizzareness.The young prince smile the same, but it's with wryly. Down the table, his hands hold mine and it's gently rubbing and massaging me. It's something that shock me, and I can only look at him with a question in my face, if not silently glaring at his tactics. But his expression didn't change at all, and it's far from the young prince who wear a rag and strolling the cent
His blue eyes definitey blue but at this moment, they shone bloody and deadly serious at the same time. Just like what happen at the central, while everyone passed by and his stares drawn deep, his eyes gives off the sight of a dread. “I'm sorry,” he step back miserably as he said with his regretful of a voice. “I didn't mean to offend you. I don't have any ill intention, Alta-”“That's enough,” I push aside the feeling of familiarity of the way he call my name, and roll my eyes to the sight below that isn't at all unsighty. I find myself feel strange to how I react just now. Whoever in my shoe wouldn't felt the ounce of looking down the mere sight just by staring down the stairs. Only the grand light that barely flickered one can see from here on, and it's one of the breathtaking sight I ever see my whole life!I let him guide me the moment he regain from feeling the sudden confussion. It's my fault he felt that way, however, he seems to understand it instantly. Whatever in his min
It's so strange the way his words struck me. I want to break free, but his hold gentle yet tight. Upon looking up, my thought spun crazily. The way he look at me sent waves I couldn't understand at all. It as if those of familiarity, yet unfamiliar?“Can't you please?” I roared behind the tremble of my heart. It's so hard to analyze his words just now, especially his expression that is of pain just as I push him away. I know I'm the one at fault. I touch him first, and he is just a man afterall. But strangely, I couldn't feel to have this mystery to deepened, and the presence behind him can't be that matter anymore. Afterall the words I heard, the strangeness within it can't possibly those of a gentle!Am I some sort of a prisoner that note dare to run away?“Alta,” the Young prince in his usual self, gone the familiar presence. He stop me just before I even go away. I want to argue, but upon seeing the confussion in his face, I can only guess and remain to where I stood. I calm a b
It happen in a far so distance that Altara barely look back. The time is the bloody one; the bloody moonlight strike everywhere!“Isn't it good time for a hunt?” Someone ask, reveal the never-seen of excitement.“Are you nuts? Grandma will sure punk you!” “She will never know! Unless you tell her,” the girl rolled her eyes and is sounded so frustrated.Their every gaze causing her to find strange. She stuttered, “You think I'll do that? Is that why you all don't inform me you all hear the tale grandma forbidden you all? Seriously?”“Yes. Is it a problem for you?” interrupted by a strange voice and is causing her heart to boom hardly. “You've done it once and you'll do it again, Altara. So not telling you this will be your reminder and your punishment for being such a bitch.”“I'm no bitcg!” She cry out, yet they look away. They begun telling each other how fun their day have been. How it is colorful, and let her reminder her absence is nothing but a joyous and freeful moment!These

That's why I keep it to myself...“What's that, Rein?” Edward ask, starled me. I didn't realize he keep an eye at me. “W-what's what?” I look at him as if I weirded by his question. As if it is absurd that I don't want to answer. Which he find suspicious. “Why are you defensive?” His eyes curious by what I keep behind me. He added, “Is there's something I didn't know about?

Why? Why do you think so I hide something?” I try to be seen angry at him which is I sure to apologize later.

But I remain on my foot and see to myself what happened to the man. Mike and Edward lead the way. As I observe around, we are now in between the snowy-warmth place and rainy-firey place. We finally see the land below our feet, no snow to hide it. It even have Trees that as if withstand the climate, grow bigger than usual. One of the Trees is where that man landed, actually his Parachute tightly embrace one of the branches. From where he is, 10 feet above the ground, he breathe just fine but unconscious.
