Prologue

Third Person's POV

Sicario hurries home after such a funeral in the Palace. He had to perform the ritual before the end of the day. Because if he doesn't do it, Elena will never be born again.

Only Elena's body died, but her soul did not. Her soul is now locked in a crystal ball. Sicario has to hide it because he believes there is another mage who wants to kill Elena. He just preceded it and was saved from the brink of death. He didn't know what the other mage was up to, because he was the only one assigned to kill the target.

He returned to Caracass and immediately looked at the crystal there that was now covered in tiny lights, Elena's soul. It moves inside like smoke that wants to escape.

Sicario immediately sprinkled sulfur in the surroundings so as not to feel the ritual he was doing. He will remove Elena from this place because it is the only way to live again. Its stay in Wysteria brings danger and doom. Elena needs to be born in a place of mortals, away from immortals, away from Wysteria.

"Forgive me your majesty for what I'm going to do, but even if you're destined for her, you can't protect her from something that wants to kill Elena," Sicario whispered words he wanted to convey to the king of Valeria. His oration also began. The surroundings are lighting up and his power will start to come out.

He performs one of the forbidden rituals, turning an immortal temporarily mortal. It can remove the smell of an immortal while living as a mortal on the surface world. He will stay away from the demons who are chasing the immortals who have no opponents.

"Elena, you will live again. You will be reborn, but you will be a mortal. But on your twentieth birthday, you will return to Wysteria." Sicario promised. He wanted Elena to never come back, but that was the way it was. He couldn't change it even with his power. "I will protect you if that day ever comes. And hopefully, at that time the king will be able to protect you."

After that word, the crystal suddenly plunged up into the sky and disappeared from Sicario's sight.

Sicario doesn't know where in the world the crystal went. He didn't leave Wysteria because the King told him to follow. But he never fails to watch over the crystal. He could feel as if Elena had been born again.

Many years passed and Sicario didn't even notice how long it had been. Elena still hasn't been reborn. He continues to wait for the day Elena will be born again. It can't be born without his protection because the world is filled with undead demons from Wysteria.

The kingdom of Valeria has not changed, but the palace servants are not unaware of the king's sadness. He couldn't sleep more and more because he couldn't forget the sin he committed against the woman he was destined for.

King Elijah summoned Sicario because he couldn't wait any longer. Back then, a few hundred years seemed like a short time to him, but now it seemed like a lifetime. He felt like he had waited thousands of years for Elena to return.

"Your Majesty, until now Elena has not been reborn." Sicario turns to the king who is now sitting on his throne.

Elijah frowned as he looked at Sicario.

"How can you be sure she hasn't been reborn yet? It's been too long, Sicario." King Elijah was running out of patience waiting. His head became hot and he couldn't smile anymore. It was as if the pleasure had been stolen from him. All King Elijah wants now is to find Elena again. "If she can be born, I want to be the one to raise her."

This time, even though Elena was a baby, he wanted to see her. He wants to monitor her growth until she reaches the right age where he can marry her and own her forever. The second time, he wouldn't let anything bad happen to Elena. He deeply regretted what he had done.

"Your majesty, forgive me but I can't do what you want. Because it's time for Elena to be born, it's also the day of my death, majesty." Sicario answered the king. "That is the condition of his resurrection. Elena's resurrection, my life is also the price." But Sicario is just lying. He won't die, but he will leave Wysteria and pretend to be dead so the king won't track him outside of Wysteria.

He has to protect Elena because he doesn't know who is the real enemy and ally.

"How long must I wait, Sicario? A thousand years? Two thousand?" Elijah asked desperately and his jaws clenched even more. Elijah doesn't know if he can take the time without Elena. Elijah thought that the situation was different when he faced what was destined for him because Elena aroused feelings that had never arisen before in Elijah.

"I can't say, your majesty. Because Elena's soul is waiting for her life partner. Elena can't just be reborn if she doesn't have the same body as the child to be born." Sicario explained to Elijah. The king spoke no more. He could do nothing but wait. "But when you find my body, I ask you not to look for Elena. Her return is set at the right time, Your Highness. She will appear before you unexpectedly."

Elijah knew that Elena would appear in front of him again because that's what Sicario told him. But he didn't know when that was. He wanted to find her but he couldn't do anything. He didn't know if Elena would be born here in Wysteri or outside. Elijah thinks Elena can't be born outside of Wysteria because she's immortal and not mortal. But he could do nothing but wait and bear the sorrow.

Many more years passed and on the one-hundredth year of Elena's death, she was born outside of Wysteria. Sicario immediately felt that so he quickly made a fake body to serve as his corpse.

He has to find Elena before everyone is caught. He had to protect her while she was still a baby. He knows that there are evil demons in the surface world and someone like Elena is a tasty meal for them.

Sicario immediately got out of Wysteria and followed Elena wherever she went. But he didn't expect Elena to be in a neighboring country. She was born in the Philippines and immediately found his family.

He quickly made an oration so that he could convince this family that he was part of the family and that he was the children's grandfather. Sicario became part of the family and took care of Elena as if she were his real granddaughter.

The couple had a child before Elena was born. This is a woman, mortal, and very happy with Elena's arrival. But Elena's personality has also changed and she is no longer the old Elena who was born in Wysteria. They named her Alessia Andromeda Condor.

He loved Alessia like his own granddaughter. But he sees Roselle, and her growing hatred for Alessia as they grow up. He even protected Alessia because the demons would still approach her. There are also kind demons and those are the only ones that Sicario allows to get close. Sicario wants to keep Alessia away from the secret of her personality but he can't avoid erasing the demons in Alessia's life. Demons, good or bad, approach it strangely.

He knew that this knowledge would not be a good thing, but from the beginning, he knew that Elena was not an ordinary immortal because she was meant to be. So even though she has been reborn, and changed her personality as Alessia, she is still different even from normal people.

As Alessia grows older, Sicario fears Alessia's imminent return to Wysteria. He can't stop it because that's what it was meant to be. When that happens, Sicario will be busy with preparations. He only wishes that nothing bad would happen, before he and Alessia meet again.

He looked at the necklace in his hand. This is the necklace that will prove Alessia is Elena. But even without the necklace, she will be recognized as Elena because Elena was born again with the same old face. The only difference is the color of their eyes and hair. Alessia's eyes are green while Elena's are blue. Elena's hair is also lighter than Alessia's.

"Grandpa, I want the necklace." The young Roselle said as she stared at the beautiful necklace that belonged to Alessia.

"You are too young for something important, my Granddaughter" Sicario responded. He couldn't say the necklace wasn't for her because he knew she was jealous of Alessia. Even though the boy is not related to him by blood, Roselle has fallen in love with him.

Roselle's expression became sad. "When I grow up, is it possible?" It's a question again. There's no denying that Roselle loves it.

"When the time comes, you can take it," Sicario answered and smiled at the boy.

He knew he was just making his grandson depend on him but it was part of his plan. As Elena comes of age she will give him the necklace, but it will also be the key to returning it to Wysteria. The king will find him and danger will follow him again.

If Roselle's interest does not change until she grows up and she still wants the necklace, Roselle may be forced to grab it. If Roselle is successful, there is a good chance that the king will be deceived. He would just make sure that Roselle and Alessia were together when the portal to Wysteria opened because Roselle needed to be in Wysteria.

He knew that he shouldn't sympathize with Roselle in this problem because she was just a normal person. It's not like Alessia who can regain immortality in time.

"Sicario! The children's parents were murdered!" Suddenly their neighbor screamed and he turned pale as if he didn't know what to do.

Sicario stood up quickly. "Alessia?" He was suddenly nervous because of what might have happened to Alessia. All he knew was that he was with his parents at the park. But he can't if anything happens to the child.

"She was in the park…She saw the whole incident. She is now with the police investigating." This is a quick answer.

Sicario came out pale while seven-year-old Roselle followed. Alessia is only five years old but she has already witnessed a complicated incident. He still has no idea what killed Alessia's parents because he was not at the scene.

Sicario reaches the park and sees the police there. There are two dead bodies inside the body bag. He saw Alessia now dazed and in tears as she sat on the bumper of the police car.

"My grandchild!" Sicario immediately shouted and attended to Alessia who seemed to hear and notice nothing.

"Sir, how are you related to the victim?" Immediately asked a policeman who is now recording a report.

"They are my children...this child is my granddaughter," Sicario answered while looking at Alessia and pitying her appearance now.

He felt no pity for the two corpses because they were nothing to him, only Alessia and Roselle who became orphans early. What he fears is that he feels the traces of demons. Even the two corpses were reeking of the smell coming from the demon.

"Sir, it has not yet been determined what killed the couple. But according to your granddaughter, it is said to be a monster...but it is impossible that that is what happened. There is a psychiatrist who will look at your grandson to treat the trauma she suffered." He told Sicario and he confirmed his suspicion.

He already knew that even though Alessia was human, she could see a demon that ordinary people couldn't see. Roselle doesn't, but she's not sure about that because she notices that sometimes she gets scared whenever there's a demon but she pretends not to see anything.

Sicario has only one suspicion, Roselle has already grabbed Alessia's necklace. When it lands on a normal person, the secret world and creatures will be opened to their eyes. Demons and immortals.

"G-grandpa...the monster killed them." Alessia suddenly turned blue when she lost her stupor. "There's a monster... there's a monster..." she cried again and again so Sicario hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry my granddaughter...Grandpa won't let the monsters hurt you." He promised the child that she still wouldn't stop crying.

That was the moment that changed their lives. Alessia's eyes were opened to creatures that humans couldn't see. It knows that there are good and bad. She taught Alessia what herbs and foods the demons like so that Alessia wouldn't be the one to eat them.

They had to move to the town of Arada, which was not infested by evil demons. There are demons in this town but not the kind that hurt. So it's not hidden from his knowledge that Alessia is making friends with strange creatures even if she doesn't say it.

Sicario also taught Alessia how to fight. He knew he didn't know enough about fighting, but he wanted Alessia to learn and protect herself. Because it's time for her to return to Wysteria, her life there won't be easy. Because she will live as a human, along with immortals and demons.

"Can I take my granddaughter home now? He needs to rest." Sicario told the doctor who was looking at Alessia because it hurt her. "Thank you for helping my two grandchildren." He added.

"It's nothing, Sicario. Roselle needs special attention because of her mental disorder." The doctor replied.

"Alright Doc, thank you very much," Sicario responded and they left the hospital with Alessia and Roselle.

He knows that Roselle and Alessia's relationship is starting to crack. If that's the case, Sicario still wants the plan to happen. Roselle needs to be found by the King when Alessia goes back to Wysteria. He needs time to trick the enemies before they learn the truth that Alessia is Elena.
