        "Bullshit! Get that away from me!" Keir cautiously took a long step back, slamming his back on the cave's wall behind him with his eyes doubled in size. "Do you know how poisonous that snake is?!"

            Méah was petrified. Not because she's afraid of snakes but because she didn't know it's a lethal one. But she remained holding it still, thinking that if she'd let it go now, it might come back at them the very second it's freed. She spotted a stone near Keir's feet and stepped to pick it up. 

          "What are you doing?" Keir couldn't move a muscle. He's trying to figure out if ever Méah would let the snake bite him. "No! Don't ever fucking do that!"

           But Méah didn't utter a word, adding more fright on Keir's pulsating chest. She was just looking at the struggling snake which she held tight by the head as h

    However, when Méah was about to let go of the branch she's holding, she heard Keir again. Not only his voice but there was also something that made a cracking sound after he screamed in pain. It was like a huge branch of a tree was broken. With this, Méah's nerve ending was awakened. She didn't know how Keir had a huge impact to her that even if she's on the brink of death, he's capable of waking her up. Maybe even after she died, if she would hear him, she might likely to crawl out of her grave. Was it because Méah has sworn to protect him and make up for what she had done to him? Although she couldn't name the strange feeling but it gave her strength and courage to fight. There's just this strong urge which she cling hard into, where she felt like she can't die without paying her sins. Maybe the heavens k

    Keir thought this is bad. And the only thing he knew which caused it was Méah. She's nothing but a walking disaster causing troubles wherever she goes and whoever she's near to. This have to stop! "J-just...stay away from me and leave me alone," Keir said weakly as he's starting to feel his eyelids getting heavy. He knew how ungrateful he is but he couldn't find the exact words about what he should say to her in response. If this was in a different situation, he would've yelled at her like he always did, especially her dumbness on asking if he's alright when in fact he's obviously not! Keir had never seen such stupidity in disguise of consistency. With wounds all over her body, bathed in blood and looked like she would be easily blown away with just a a single flick. Her eyes were still lookingHe knew she's suffe

             Dirt and dust and small craps of rocks started falling off the cave's ceiling. And what Méah expected awhile ago absolutely happened. Shw quickly rose up from where she fell and curled herself smaller, pressing her back unto the cave's stone wall.  When the wolves started backing out, the cave's entrance collapsed, extinguishing the only way which allowed the light from the outside to come through.          The entire cave plunged into an unending darkness and silence. Méah was now shaking hard. Although she couldn't see a thing, her ears and her instincts worked sharply together, detecting the whereabouts of the four wolves which are trapped inside the cage with them. She didn't know if they're all dead now so she have to be cautious.            Méah suddenly heard a quick crunch on the cave's floor which she assumed that it was a rock being stepped into. And then a sudden, light breeze brushed into her face. She knew there's no way breeze could enter a

    A warm, blinding light shoned over Méah's closed eyelids. The calm rustling of the afternoon breeze made her feel relaxed and free of any worries. While she's feeling the soft, sprouting little grasses underneath her back, someone's voice resounded in the serene forest. It was a woman's voice.... Calling her name, asking where she's at... She didn't know but her heart leaped in happiness upon hearing it, like a huge load inside her chest was lift off. Suddenly, she just found herself opening her eyes in excitement as she rose up from lying. The peaceful, green forest greeted her joyful eyes. A big, heartfelt grin stretched on her innocent lips. But when she took a step, her body felt so light. While checking herself, she accidentally caught a glimpse on the tiny pair of shoes that she's wearing. As curiousity took over

    Méah jolted awake so as the throbbing pain caused by her injuries all over her body. Now she realized she just had a dream, a bad dream rather. But it felt so real that she couldn't even differentiate it from reality. The first thing she noticed is the dark surrounding which gave her the idea that she's still inside the cave. Everywhere she looked is pitch black as if it was telling her to just give up. Her chest heaved up and down heavily as she tried to catch her breathe, filling her lungs with air as much as it needed. It took her quite a long time before she gained her normal breathing back. While she's slowly calming down, everything in that dream started replaying in her mind. But matter how many times it kept on repeating, she's still confused as ever. However, there's only one thing that she couldn't get out of her head. 'Four pulses?' she asked herself. Remembering this, she decided to check it o

    The very moment Keir realized this, he knew he would have to stay with Méah here alone for a long time. Not only this, they would have to live a vigilant life. 'Alright, Keir. This is what you get for leaving your grieving friend who needed you the most right now. And also maybe for holding so much grudge and hatred within you.' 'What am I thinking about? Why is this getting to Méah now? This is ridiculous!' Keir's mind fought about his lingering thoughts. He felt like this is a curse bestowed especially for him. He's just living his life normally. And committing sins are part of it but he believed his sins aren't that heavy for this curse. As

    Méah almost crawled on her way to the small cabin. Every step she took was a torture. The way the dried leaves and the little twigs crunched under her bare feet gave off a resemblance to what her bones and veins felt like right now. She had Keir's uninjured arm snaked on her nape while she's supporting him underneath his shoulders. Cold sweat from her forehead were pouring down, glistening on her struggling face. At last, for like eternity, Méah arrived on the small cabin's cobwebbed porch without stumbling down on her way. The small cabin looked very old and shabby. The deep brown color of it's wooden wall, emitting a strong musky smell that seeped right through her nares, and the wild vines crawling all over its surface said it all. Almost every kind of dirt and nature's trash were in there. Dried, brown leaves were scattered everywhere. Patches of tall yet yellowish green grasses depri

             After a long day of work, the place was already tidied by Méah except from the kitchen and bedroom stuffs because she can't find any source of water to wash or clean them. And besides her condition won't even let her do it even if a river is running just right outside the small cabin. However, this doesn't include the surrounding area outside; it was still a mess that blended well with the forest itself.            Méah dropped herself carefully on the floor beside Keir's bed, avoiding to disturb her injuries. She's extremely exhausted and drained that she immediately closed her eyes the moment she leaned her back on the wooden wall behind her. Suddenly, she felt her stomach grumbled in hunger. Beside her was a small pouch which she made from her robe. Inside it were few wild berries that she found nearby when she went out this afternoon to look for something to eat. It has been three days since she woke up in an unfamiliar place and didn't remember consuming anyt

    The golden rays of the sun broke out through the thick, dark clouds that were slowly dissipating away. The sun sat above the golden capped mountains in the west, about a few minutes before it would rest from a long day of work. The bright light vanished and the small crystal ball fell on Keir's chest. Then it slowly disappeared as soon as it touched his skin. Kalen was greeted by the silence of the world. The thick fog was cleared and the sky was full of hope. But for him, it wasn't the same sky anymore. It was the sky of new life and new beginnings. He looked around and everyone was lying on the ground. There was no trace of Purple Smoke. But he recognised Méah's figure lying ahead of him for half a mile away by her clothes and armour. However, as much as he wanted to check on them, he would have to chose his brother first who was lying right next to him. But judging on Keir's injuries, Kalen decided not to touch him. The arro

    "Useless!" Purple Smoke screamed in both fury and disappointment. She hated it when someone fails her and had a long history on it. To her anger, struck Méah with her palm on the chest. Méah flew a few yards away from where she stood. But she didn't complain. For Purple Smoke was her master and the only one who has the authority to do anything to her. She rolled on the ground for a couple times and spat out black blood. She was on knees but her face was still blank and didn't show any hint of pain. Purple Smoke faced Keir and the princess's body. Her vision quickly darkened. "Love. This is what love bring to people. What a pity. They're even willing to die because of it." She grinned. While she was feeling the moment of victory, she heard a swooshing blade coming from behind her. She quickly avoided it and saw Kalen. "Oh, another silly boy. But I like you already. You're braver than your brother." "I w

    After they ran away and the battlefield was almost emptied, Purple Smoke was furious when she saw Méah kneeling on the ground, frozen like a statue. She couldn't believe a simple trick could affect Méah. "Come, my dear." Purple Smoke walked in front of Méah. She bent down and held Méah's chin up. Black and purple veins appeared on her neck down to her arms. Then all of it crawled into Méah's chin down to her neck, spreading towards her back. Her injuries were healed and the arrows were burnt into ashes. Méah stood up straight. "Avenge yourself. Kill them all. Kill." Purple Smoke whispered to her ears. "But first, I want you to do something." Then, Méah suddenly disappeared in Purple Smoke's eyes. She was now off to do what she's told to do. Purple Smoke burst into a boisterous laughter. But she eventually stopped when a loud blow of horn was caught in her ears. Among all the four kingdoms, only one would use horn

    The three of them were in utter astonishment when they saw the enemies were swarming again. They had no idea where they came from but now they seemed stronger than those that they fought with earlier. King Astius shoulders dropped. At the other end, he saw the Deep Caves and everyone struggling to defend it. The enemies were about to break in. "What the hell! They're like locusts!" Keir cursed under his breath. Suddenly, they heard screams coming from behind them, the main gate from the city of Noartias. As they turned around, they saw the remaining of their soldiers, the war veterans and majority of Eastian soldiers who were assigned to defend the city. They were rushing to the battlefield, ready to give their life for the sake of the world. And then, they joined them to launch an attack on the battleground. Weapons clashed hard against each other. Some tasted flesh, blood and bones. Blood were splattered everywhere, leaving a crimsom

    "Oh no! They're here! They're breaking in!" Queen Jainah cowered into the corner of the room in the royal underground where they were hiding. Princess Jiyanah sat down with her, arms snaked on one arm of her mother. King Ambrose wasn't there with them because he was out in the battlefield. Unlike Noartias, Eastias don't have any shelter like the Deep Caves but they have a vast underground shelter that they called as the Underground Shelter, enough to cater the whole kingdom's population. It has one entrance which can only be found in the secret chamber of the royal hall. The five exits extend in five directions away from the kingdom's borders. Four of it share the same distance while the other one was the longest which almost reaches the border's pf Noartias. King Zarduz was the first kingdom to surrender to Purple Smoke. Being named as the weakest, poor kingdom, King Zarduz chased the opportunity to get power, enough to purge a strong kingdom l

    Ferlah brought King Astius to the Deep Caves. After that, she left back to the battlefield outside. More enemies were coming. They don't seem to decrease at all. The more of them die, the more of them come. Prince Zaeius and the mysterious woman in red were trying hard to defend the door of the shelter. General Kapono was defending the walls together with the rest of the soldiers since the enemies were trying to climb up through tall ladders. Seeing all of these, King Astius didn't think twice to carry out his responsibility. He climbed to where the archers were stationed on the walls. "Aim for the enemies! Kill them! Leave none of them alive!" He shouted. Upon seeing his presence, the soldiers' morale was boosted. Their spirits soared high and their hearts filled with hope. From afar, Ferlah could be seen battling alone. She couldn't risk to transform herself so that she won't get exhausted when it was time to go

    When King Astius and the rest of the troops arrived at Noartias, they were flabbergasted by the army of the enemies flocking inside. Only a few of the war veterans were left standing, fighting bravely despite being outnumbered. King Astius was suddenly eaten by guilt. He blamed himself for not seeing the trap ahead of them which made him led the whole Noartian army into deception. The moment they stepped a foot inside the kingdom, the bloody clash began. The enemies looked like a swarm of locusts, attacking them in every possible way. There were clamours of death and courage as well as the shatters and clatters of weapons. Blood were spilled everywhere and the parched ground quenched its thirst through it. While King Astius was slaughtering the enemies, he suddenly remembered the prince. Fear struck him hard. He wished his son was safe in the royal underground as it was difficult to find. But judging from the prince's behaviour, he probably

    "Méah!" With eyes closed, Prince Zaeius screamed in terror and sat up from his sleep without even knowing. He just had a horrible nightmare about Méah dying, covered in blood and vanishing into thin air. However, even though it was just a nightmare, he began to pray to himself that it would only remain as a nightmare. As his breathing slowly calmed down, the throbbing pain came raging from all over his body, starting to penetrate deeper into his senses. He let out a painful hiss with a twisted expression as he went weak and limp, slumping himself back into the soft mattress of his bed. An agonizing groan followed that made him shut his eyes in a tight manner. With this, it all came back to him. But despite after being rescued and seeing the woman he loved in that situation, the flashes of tortures that he had gone through in the hands of Purple smoke held a consistent spot in his memory. That no matter how hard he tried to set

    The awaited dawn finally came. It was summer but the breeze, though it blew calm and gentle, felt like a touch of a blizzard's chill. Passing through the steep trails of well-tilled earth, forests, rivers and marshes, a couple of hundred thousand men set off from Noartias to the battlefield under the command of King Astius. This was the last number that he could bring with him. And not all of them were soldiers. Some were mere folks, men and women but brave and courageous, who voluntarily swore to protect their kingdom, their homes and their families. Every abled person in no particular age requirement were allowed to go to battle with them as long as they can walk at such distance and can ride on horses and fight with willingness. However, as he couldn't leave the kingdom and the people alone unguarded, he left this task to the war veterans of less than thirty thousand.
