"I love you, Chaol." she pressed her lips against his forehead. He gazed at her but he couldn't find any light and mercy from her bright tangerine eyes. "And farewell."

The woman's words were strikingly painful and difficult to hear. Before, she would always run to him and shower him with hugs and kisses.

But he never thought that the day would come that she will raise her sword against him and take his life instead.

Chaol had never once understood the feeling of dying. He had never experienced it. From the souls that he would comfort, they would always tell them how painful it was or how joyful it was for them to die.

It depended.

And now that today, he was fated to get the gist of what truly death felt like, he didn't think that his soul would be this terrified of closing his eyes to see nothing but the darkness of the empty void.

Years ago he wanted to die. He wanted to finally close his eyes and rest, but then, she came.

The sword was directly beside his neck, pierced a little bit on his skin, drawing blood. Robynn, Vaughn Garland along with the other officials stared still, looking at them with disbelief in their eyes."It wasn't Chaol, Asty!" Lana continued to implore her. "It was—"Suddenly, there was a long chain of howl in the wind. The atmosphere changed and the wind became colder."Wolves?" the people whispered at each other.

    It all made sense why the man was so similar to Chaol now. His movements, his choice of words, his laugh, his traits. Everything about him resembled Chaol and only a fool could deny it.“Tenth moonchild. What is he trying to say, milord?” Lana asked him, completely bamboozled. “I… don’t understand. I’ve seen this man many times inside the castle for the span of many years that I have served you, and yet deep inside me, I know he wasn’t you. What is this feeling that I’m having..?”“He is what he had said.” Chaol answered. “He is me and I am him. He is the last persona of the previous moonchild that I am.”Chaol lowered his head. “My… tenth self.”Asty’s throat became dry. She reached for Chaol’s hands but they were cold and shaking. “C-Chaol…”“I cannot remember of who I was back then

    The air became colder and the howling of the Silverhounds became more haunting. Their huge, sharp fangs were much longer than the normal mountain wolves. Their huge, scraping claws that never fail to allow them to climb in trees and grappled onto their prey. Their silver-hued eyes that resembled the bright, gray moon.They were the pioneering predators that have always been on the top of the food chain.But they won't back down. With their torches, shovels, and rakes, the people stood with the burning passion to protect their territory, and they won't hesitate to show what they are made up of, if the wolves advance any further.Polo shrugged his shoulder and sighed. “I guess we would really have to do it in the hard way, huh.”His sadistic, blue eyes glowed sinisterly as his lips formed a grin. “Well then if you insist on protecting this place too much, then I'll just destroy

    The wind continued to how and the explosions were heard from almost every corner. All the villagers had been evacuated to a place where the silverhounds won't get to them. Still carrying their rakes, shovels, and lances, they tried to fend themselves off the silverhound that tried to reach them from the water. They were all mixed. Soldiers, maids, villagers. But they were not as many as the minutes before all these chaos happened. Some of them have perished from being crushed by the rocks and debris of construction materials. Some of them were eaten by the silverhounds. Some of them were impaled by Polo's ice glacier magic. Everything was covered in blood, sweat, and night hallow dust. Most of the night hallows were killed by the silverhound and turned into dust. Asty could see all the violence before her eyes. This was the real world. The real world that they needed to protect. For so many weeks they saw that they were protecting it f

    Polo stared as they drowned in the lava. He stood still hearing their wailing from are. Their painful roars and their bodies turning to dust. None was left on the battlefield but him and him alone.Asty had successfully reached near Chaol, who had protected himself in a runic barrier. Inside was also the King, the Captain, Yuran who had come back from the evaluation to help, Lana, Owl, Robynn, Othello, and Yvonne Polo casted an ice tower to launch himself in the air, but the lava crushes and melts the tower's foot, causing for it to crumble again. He makes another platform of ice and he landed on the floor and casted a spell."Frozen Catastrophe!" In an instant, the liquid around him froze and crumbled into tiny pieces. The ice then melts and evaporates in the air leaving the battlefield clean once again."I really hate it when people let me clean up their mess." he gritted his teeth and looked at Chaol.

    Chaol showed no mercy to him anymore. He was tired of hearing his maniacal laughter and defying the truth of his existence and death. "I think this is where it ends for you, Polo the Tenth. I will put you to sleep and make sure that you will never wake up again." "That is quite terrifying to hear." he chuckled. "Why don't you try, then?" "I guess I don't have a choice then. If you continue to be like this, then I won't hesitate to take your life myself." "I have no more life!" he told him. "I am just a ghost, and therefore you will not be able to kill me! I will continue to roam this world wherever and whenever I like. I will kill people and night hallows whenever I want. I will seize the entire world until everyone knows my name. Until the gods will fear me!" "The gods will never fear and stoop down to someone as low as you," he told him.

    The defeating silence.The howl of the wind.The dripping of blood.Asty could hear them all.She watched as Chaol's body suspended in the air as the ice pierced his body. She saw how his eyes began to close as a smile tugged from his lips. Chaol's body limped, as the darkness conquered him.The beryl glow beneath them faded and the frost from her legs shattered like glass. The people wondered what in the world had just happened."C-Chaol...?"Lana, Owl, Yvonne, Othello, and all the other night hallows who were resurrected under Chaol's name, fell on their knees as a surging pain pierced through their chests. It was as if the twelfth's pain was divided amongst them. Othello grabbed the grass and ripped them, while gasping for air as the tormenting pang spiked more."A-Argh..."Asty watched as Lana and the others convulsed and vibrated. Soon, wails of agony filled the air as the night hallows screamed in excruciating and

What are you doing?!""Robynn! We have to get to Asthenosthene quickly! It won't be good if a Sunchild on our side dies too!""I know it, dammit!" he responded and takes the hilt of his sword towards his mouth.

    The bells rang from the distance. The woman with the bright orange hair stood behind the huge doors of the church. Her eyes were closed and a smile was evident on the woman's lips. Everything that she dreamed of was finally before her eyes. The moment had finally come. She opened her eyes and the doors finally parted ways. Her eyes fell to the long golden aisle that she so dreamt of walking one day. Beside it, on the benches, for all the people she loved and cared for. She felt her heart start pounding and racing faster and faster, when her bright persimmon orbs reached the center of the long corridor. There he stood, the love of her life, the apple of her eye, the man who taught her how to love. He had a smirk on his face and she just wanted to get over with that aisle wipe that smug grin off his face with a kiss. The music started. The harmonious synchronization of chorale brought everyone to their tears. Her mother who was standing also, in the aisle— staring at her beautif

    Asty was walking around the palace when she noticed something strange everywhere. The maids seem to be avoiding her and she did not seem to see a single sentry guarding the gates.Everyone seems to be very busy and every time she would greet them they would only turn away."That's odd." she told herself. "They don't really act like this to me before."She walked around and around and even brought herself into the garden. But there was not a single person around.What was going on, she thought.She couldn't even find her friends anywhere in the Palace. She had woken up with absolutely nothing but the chirping of birds. She looked around to see if there was someone she can talk to.Yvonne wasn't there, Chaol wasn't there. Even her brother was not there."Where could they all have gone to?"She noticed that the maids were stealing glances at her. She would look at them and wave but then they would only avoid her gaze.

    After being able to speak with her mother, Asty led the group to a path in the woods that led to a field of dandelions.They looked around and saw how beautiful it was. The sun was before them, and they could feel it burning through their skin, but even so— their eyes were fixed on the blanket of flowers that seemed to flow against the wind."This is so beautiful." Lana commented.Asty smiled at her. "This is where my mistress is buried.""Why isn't she buried in a proper grave?""That is because this is what she requested. That is a part of her will to be buried under the field of dandelions, chrysanthemums, and daisies. She wanted to face the sun and the skies. She wanted to look at the blanket of stars as she rested.

    Asty and the others were sent in a carriage that was intended to traverse them into the village of Erana. Asty watched as the sea of trees ran across her vision. She stared at it for a long amount of time before wondering something in her head.Chaol reached out to her head and made it rest on his shoulders."Is something troubling you?" he asked her."No nothing at all." She told him. "I was just wondering a few things.""Like what?""They are not very pleasant things." She told him and smiled. "It's best if I keep it to myself.""You can always tell me about it. I won't mind." Chaol smiled at her. "Is it because of the battle?""Yeah." she nodded. "Polo was... in pain. I didn't know that he had to go through all that that's why he became the way he was.

It was not an easy path for them to take. The villagers that survived the war still had fear lingering inside their hearts. But nevertheless, even if there were fear and there was uncertainty, villagers continued to place their trust in the king. The king provided them with all the construction materials that they will be able to use to fix their houses that were crushed and broken during the war.

There is no greater pain in the world than to lose someone you love.It is a pain that will be permanent inside your heart and will linger around for so many years. And she was not sure if she was prepared for that. Everything was so sudden, so fast, so abrupt. Did not know what to do or what to expect.

Polo, who was now one of the known people in their village, was helping them with the fences against the wolves."Is that all for today?" the builders asked one another."Yeah I think so." he then looked at Polo. "Good work today, boy. Your wife must be so happy to have you around."A blush escaped from the male's cheek. He scratched the back of his nape while looking at them.
