One of my legs are fully covered with bandages. That is the leg whom the snake rolled his body into. I somehow feel a little numb about that part but it doesn't hurt as much as it is the last time. Last time? Snake? Rolled his body into? I stopped remembering what happened. And so... I remembered it. I have a few scratches all over my body and I can say that I somehow don't have the power to move at all. Even though I already removed the blanket covering my body I don't have the power to stand up or make a sit because I feel like my body is not doing the way I want it to move. I was feeling all fine just a while ago... how come... But rather than being questionable about those things I wonder why I don't feel any pain compared to the pain I have felt before. Indeed, even while battling with that creature, I can feel how tremendous the pain is. I just tolerate it since it isn't something I should be bothered with at that moment. I can clearly remember all the things that happen
That small voice calling my mother catches my attention and that makes me smile.“Emma, Rico ”I mumbled and as soon as I called their name they rushes inside my room straight to the front of the drawer beside my bed“Brother... brother! You were awake! How are you?”“Well brother is full of bandages on his arm”“Brother does it still hurt? Do you want us to call the doctor?”“Were you hungry? do you want to eat something?”This tiny little siblings of mine are acting so cute in front of me. I almost forgot that they are twins since they do not look the same.Emma is featured just like a little Version of my mother while Rico on the other hand just look the same as my father. I somehow felt amazement to them for taking the whole features of our parents while me, I was a mixed featuring the both of them.Well let's set aside
I was so surprised when I heard about those things coming from my younger siblings. They said that they saw Lhana helping me. She is even in the state of being pale. Even so, she is so white already... just how palet did she become? I... should ask this or not? Even so... maybe they do know how is Lhana's condition by now.“Do you two know how is she?”They boh look at each other. How adorable their smile is,“Brother likes sister Lhana~”They started to mumble in unison. Now they ain't adorableI heard them giggled as they give me a wide smileI wonder how long will it take for me to fully recover. Maybe... i should give Lhana some gift as thank you for what she did.I just close my eyes and didn't bother hearing their words. They won't stop teasing me but if I just let them be, surely they will get tired of it and go awayHah, let's just restI closed my
I didn't look at the door to see whether my family my family is since I feel that their presence is not around this area. Even so, I went back in the door and close it shut so that they can't comeinside without knocking.Looking at my surroundings I realize that the curtain is slightly open compared to what it is when I left it“Hey elf are you there?”I mumbled only to see a little light that is circulating all over me.“Show yourself ” I slightly mumbled as I find it hard to not see the elf in its actual form since she was just a mere little light who looks like a flock of flies.Can't you speak? It's as if I am talking to the air... I look so saneI need to remember how my younger siblings look at me as if I am a sane person who loves her smile I slightly Put my Palm on my face as I recall thatThe sparks then glimmer around me. I narrowed my eyes as i find it real weird
“What happened?” I asked her only to see the frightening look on her face as she looked at theeh of mine whose bandage are already loosened up completely.The two kids tried to look and took a peek about what my mother saw but then my mother shouted loud enough so that they can stop from doing what they was about to do.I somehow feel discomfort with my mother acting that way. She is not a person who will act like that, she is gentle and kind specially if it is around my two little siblings. Her, acting that way...“Emma Rico please get out of this room for now I have to talk to your brother”“Mother”As much as they wanted to stay, they can't possibly disobey mom.“Allright now that they are gone”I look at my mother who was locking the door she didn't look back at me and sat in the same side on where I am sitting from a while ago. Removing the bandage is compl
“Mom is there something wrong?”I asked as I saw how my mother looked at me in a very unfamiliar way. She stand up and and look around my room walking and opening all of the drawers as if he is looking for something. I was about to ask her about the thing that she is looking for but then she stopped as she saw a pen and a clean paper.A pen and a paper? Now I remember that my mother is good in her hands. One of her talents is that she is good in drawing. He even made a title because of that talent of her.I just silently look at my mother who was seriously drawing and scribbling something on that paper. It is as if she is eager to do it since it is something urgent.Now I doubt if I should have said those words. Is it a bad move for me to ask something about that old man?But that old man looks just like what I described, even so, I feel like I'm missing some important details.
After that, I never heard anything about the man whom my mother drew in the paper. Even the paper she used became ashes after it burn in flames. It is as if my mother is not wanting anyone to see that very face.She is hinding something.Even if I asked about that, for sure she won't answer me truthfully.My father came home immediately when he heard the news. l was in my room sitting as I analyze the weird scar thing that happened on my leg and just like my mother, he look at it with a worried and startled face. Even so, he collected his calm and immediately went back on his original and formal faceNow I wonder why they are acting like this. Surely, people will be surprised about this but their faces are saying as if something they are expecting finally came. That this thing finally came which makes them worriedNow that I remember, that small little fragments that are flying all around. It never appeared
I am not sure about what this elder is saying to me. But he said that thing and... regret? Will I make a choice i my life that I will regret?Just what does he mean by that?Looking at my hand who is holding the key he had given... I can't help but run my thoughts.It was the very first time that an elder talked to me like this. Yes they do say some words for me but in the presence of my parents... but today, It seems to be differentThe elder left leaving me in silent. I never knew whether I am someone who have the right to say this but then why do they make things so uncertain?Why do I feel like something is not right?They often tell things that are different in the ordinary language... as if they are playing it safety. Just like beating around the bushEven so, what the elders said to me was somehow annoying at some point.They always said that freedom will al
Smashing the wall turns then to pebbles. That is when Emric saw the very body that was chains on the center of a podium.‘ So this is where you are. You have that much courage when you could barely move? ‘Seeing how the chains seem to be on loose, he realized that the chain would break any time soon. And that is the hopes maevis have. Making him have the courage to do what he just did.To steal Emric’s body and get revenge on her sister, Levana. “ Maevis… I am glad “‘ I am glad that in this time, it would be you who would felt what it is like. To vanish in the world as if you are never been born. But unlucky you, you are not like me. Because you have no one to turn rules upside down just to get you back in this world ‘“ This is your end “...“ This are such good wine Aillard, you would really give this to us? Thanks! “With him distracting the guards, no one noticed how Lhana entered the forbidden secret chamber. It was not open for anyone as the elders feel a strong power ins
“ Emric… emric… what a nice name to have. Now that I have you here, I will no longer have to be locked in this body. Hah… that damn goddess, I never knew she would dare defy the rules just to bring you two back in life! How admirable for a sweet sister you have “Still talking to himself, Emric find his body covered with a curse. Just like what he had when he fought with a naga. But this time, it was much stronger as not just his leg was covered with that but his whole body.Not having the ability to talk, all the memories when he was in his first life appeared right before his eyes. Living as an achelois, the younger brother of the goddess of the moon, indeed… someone was the reason of his fall. Of his death, on his misery as well as Aylin.“ This power… this sensation, how much time did I lose because of that damn Levana? She didn’t even have the courage to do that to me when I killed that beloved wolven of hers. Wait, what was her name again? is that asena? The mother of wolves? “
“ Lianna… what should we do? should we just go back? There are lots of people here and “Shaking her head, Lhana wants to leave his brother there since she was so annoyed on his words but still remain calm. After all, she can’t say anything and do anything hastily. “ Brother… ““ Yes? Shall we leave now ? ““ If you want to leave then you can leave alone. You are aware why I came here and saying such words would do nothing for me to change my mind. I am quite sure you are well aware of that “And as Aillard look at his little sister, he cant help but sigh as he can do nothing at all to change her mind. Her goal is clear and no one can stop her for that.ThumpHalting, Aillard notice how his sister hold on her head.“ Lianna? “But she didn’t answer making him nervous on what was happening to his dear sister.“ Hey, are you all right? Is there something wrong? Tell me… hey, speak “But with her shaking lips she gulp.“ Emric… I heard his voice… ““ Emric? But… but, where, you, you can
“ What? do you now feel it? what a fool of you to follow me here isn’t it wonderful? Little Emric? “Echoing on his head, its been some days since he was transferred in this unknown place. It is like an underground that was made buy digging holes. Like a cave whose inside was unknown. Like maze whose exit was so hard to find.Slashing yet another small snakes that almost bit him,, Emric is almost out of his breathe. But the moment he remember the very words that naga said, he can not help but be filled with rage.‘ Try to let me be and I will make sure to once again kill that beloved of yours. Isn’t it right? Aylin? Does that name sounds familiar? I wonder… how should I kill her this time? Maybe I should just do what I did before… after all, isn’t it grandiose as even your sister can do nothing at all? ‘Hunger, thirst, none of that matters to him. as the only thing left on his mind was rage…Another pile of snakes was cut in halves, his face covered with their blood, it do smells ba
‘What are you going to do now? It is not just one… but… lots of me’A villainous chuckle echoed in Emric’s head as he heard that very voice. They says that the world is so mysterious that there are lots of things that we can’t explain. Just like the death that is inevitable. For both mortals and enchanted beings. “ How? ”‘ What do you mean how? How did I manage to be alive? ’Again with that chuckling voice that can’t help but make his mind go crazy.“No, You are dead already. You are gone … how did you…”The Naga, a creature that is a half human and a half snake. Shaking his head, emric can’t believe in what he was seeing. The fact that the very naga he was talking to died long time ago… that doesn’t hold any reasons on why that very naga is still in front of him.Fighting that creature give lots of changes on his life. And the fact that it died back then on the hands of his father made him wonder if that naga really did die back then. Or if it is just a misunderstanding.“ My fat
Years LaterLhana’s POV “ Max, I will not ask for your forgiveness… but… ” chuckling, my husband was so calm in his words. Talking with brother, its been so long since that day happened. The time when I followed Emric to leave the Erhendem… the time when… my wish finally do come true.A small smile can be seen on my face, I won’t disagree if someone call me crazy for smiling on my own. But it is just… being here with him… I never thought it would bring me this much happiness. Forcing a smile as reply, my brother tried to hide his glare to Emric. But I am certain he would surely hit him if I am not around. although in terms of strength… I am sorry to say but my husband is the strongest in here. “ How long do you intend to call me max? are we that close for you to do so? ”“ Are we not? You are soon to be my brother in law… right? ”“ You…. Who told you I want to be? ““ But Lhana choose me, you have no words for that ”“ Then if she choose to not? ”“ That won’t happen, I won’t le
Looking at the surroundings I saw how we are near a village. There, in the corner of it, a large tower was placed. Remembering how Cavian told me that he lives in a tower, I decided to give it a call. “Lhana, we will go to that tower” “Huh? Okay?” She didn't asked why, I just run with her by my side. As we run, I was surprised when those people loss our track. I didn't know they were that weak. Maybe we were startled for no reason. Soon, the tower was right in front of us. But something waz odd. There are dirts on the perimeter of the tower but it looks as if they were separated from the inside. The surrounding was dark and the grass inside are… All dead. “I think we can't enter…” Lhana mumbled holding a invisible glass that is separating us from the other side. With this thing I confirmed that truly, this was the tower where Cavian is. Putting my hand on that invisible wall, I frown my head when I can enter my body on that portal. “Huh?” Holding Lhana's hands we success
Adventurers? What is he talking about? And why does he wear such… Clothings…“We are not adventurers. We are—”I hold her hands. It isn't a good thing to state our names nor identity.“I am achelois… She is Aylin. It is nice to meet you… You are a.. adventurer. Right?”I started to speak not minding this girl beside me asking why I said such lies. I just hold her hand a little tight while I smile at the one talking to us.Giving his hand, I hesitate whether I should hold and shake it. He isn't some weird killer… Is he?But I don't sense any danger around him. Maybe that is because he is weak?One of the snake like species move and suddenly, the man who was holding out his hand use his feet to kick the species which make him stop moving.Alright, I will take back my words.“You are stron
The fated day came in just a glimpse of an eye. Everything was enjoying the great festive that the elders made. To think that they would gone so far to prepare such things, I never knew that this was prepared a long time ago.That all means that everything is settled.Knocking on the window of Lhana's room, I did a good job in hidingmy presence“Who- are.. you… what are youdoing here emric?“She mumbled realizing that it was me.“Do you want to marry me?““The hell i would want to!-”I closed her mouth while putting my fingers against her lips. She look away and stay silence. Just as I thought. Even her feel the same way. She also doesn't want to be paired with me.There are reasons why I wanted to go away. I don't want her to fall the same faith as Aylin. Just like Achelois… I feel like with those time that I was there, I adapt to every
