THE hallway to the dining room was filled with royal guards standing straight on their stance. When they arrived in front of the dining room’s double door, they have to wait for the guards to open it for them.
Even they haven’t gotten in, they can hear the chattering and noises from the inside. It’s obvious that there are lots of people in there. When the guards finally opened the door, the warming lights from the torches that was placed on the walls touches their faces – welcome them.
The king stood up from his royal chair on the very end of the long table that is place with lots of different type of cuisine, meats with tender juicy that overflows on its surface and fruits.
“Welcome our heroes,” said King Aqua w
AFTER a two -day voyage to the north, back to Chen's kingdom. They have also finally reached the desert biome, but they have to walk to the city because there is no animal vehicle to get there since no one knows their return to the big ‘change’ that will happen for the city and under Chen’s leadership. As they are walking, Hana noticed that Chen seemed to be in deep thought. It was as if he is thinking of a big problem that was bothering her. Chen is ahead of her, so she walks faster to catch up with him. “Hey, are you okay? What’s bothering you?” said Hana as they are walking. She looked at the road and for a moment she turned her gaze to Chen and immediately turned her gaze back to the road. “Ah, nothing.
WHEN another day comes, Chen and his colleagues are ready for this day comes to face his constituency. “Do I really need to wear these fabrics?” Chen asked Hana while looking himself in a mirror inside his room. “Of course, you do. You are going to be their king and it’s a must to look presentable in front of your people.” Hana is helping him to style his look. “You look handsome, my prince.” She looks at the mirror, showing their reflection together. Chen reached for Hana's hand on his shoulder and took it down. He kissed her stickily and as they closed their eyes. “Chen . . . We need to go. Your people are waiting for you outs
“I told you, you can do it.” Hana hugged the newly crowned king of City of Gold. “If it wasn’t because of you and everyone who believes in me, I could not do it.” Chen hugged her back. “You were amazing out there, your highness. I will leave you both for a while. We will just be going to prepare for the celebration when the moon shows up tonight.” Seraphina was just passing by. “Mother . . .” Hana ended their moment and called her mother. “Yes, my daughter?” “Thank you.”&
HANA and her mother reached a village. They could see almost no color in that area. All houses are colored black and white. As they approached the village, holding the ropes of their camels, the winds that greeted them seemed to embrace them. It was warm coming from the sea mixed with heat from the ground that made Hannah's feathers stand up. “Are you okay, Kaina?” Seraphina asked her daughter. “Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just . . . I don’t like the feeling of coming back here. I can still hear their cries, shouting for help and memories of what happened that . . . that horror night.” Hana stops from walking and tears escaped from her eyes. “Hey,” a soft tone of Seraphina’s voice. “I&rsquo
SHE took a deep breath before going inside. Everything around her became dark as soon as she entered. She turned to look at the light from outside, but it was slowly disappearing, so she continued to walk in, even though her legs were shaking so much, and her skin hairs were also standing up especially on her nape. Every step she took was equivalent to swallowing her own saliva. A few more steps and she feel as if she is being choked, she is having difficulty breathing and she feels more and more dark all around, until her knees weakened even more, and she slowly kneels on the ground and she feels dizzy. Everything is all dark now. Even a small light had disappeared from her sight. Hana woke up in a dark place and lost her weakness, earlier. She slowly stood u
“ARE you ready?” Seraphina asked her daughter while she’s preparing their camels. “Ah . . . I’m ready.” Hana replied as soon as she got finished preparing her things. The fresh air of the surroundings from the beautiful trees and fresh plants, the warm and bright sunshine is what gives peace to the whole land they see."All right, let's go?""Let's go."They first walked down the mountain until they reached the entrance of the forest and there they rode on their camels.As they quietly made their way back to the Emporium, Hana thought again of what had happened to her while she was in the cave."So, you think it's a task to handle the power of the Dragon? You're wrong, see, you don't really deserve this power. The power of the Dragon will be part
AT the Emporium Palace, an awful day greeted King Chen’s morning.One of his soldiers entered the meeting room to inform him of what had happened outside the palace."Tell me, what was your purpose, and why did you come here?""Pardon me, your highness. I just want to report some important news for you.""What's that?"The soldier came closer, "We found bodies of men at the corner end of the wall to the south.""What do you think happened to them? Have you caught the perpetrator?""That's right, your highness, we don't think it was a human being did it to them. We found that their entrails were scattered around the corpses. It looks like an animal attacked them because of the scratches that can be seen on their bodies. ""Where are the corpses now?""We have taken them to the back of the palace, your highness.""Did anyone see a civilian in the corpses or what happened?""Right now, w
THE next morning, the rainy night was replaced by thick fog. A woman with a haircut commonly used by men and with a dark skin, came out of a bamboo hut with a grass roof.“You have to change your roof, Eudora.” said the young girl who is just with her age.“Nah, I won’t be staying long in this village, Shuga.” Eudora said while they are both walking towards a house which was built with big trunks of trees, a well architected house for a supreme resident of the village.“What are we going to do at the chief’s house?” Shuga didn’t want to get involved in something that Eudora is going to make.“I didn’t ask you to come with me, Shuga, all the time. You are the one who wants to get involved. Don’t act as the force-petty-victim here, Shuga.” She’s now annoyed.“Okay, okay. I’m sorry. I was just trying to . . .”Eudora knocked th
THE Emporium Kingdom has become quiet since the day of the battle between five nymphs and the kingdom in the City of Gold. Everything comes back from where it belongs. Peace. Love. No chaos has been reported for three months. It is sad to think that the commoners, people who lives in the city, inside the kingdom, don’t really care or think about what is happening inside the palace. The people who work for their safety, care, and needs, are having hard time and difficulties maintaining their strong high walls that’s been in-belief of providing everything they have inside the walls. King Chen and Seraphina are both inside Hana’s heavy atmospheric room, sitting on each side of her bed. She is unconscious. Sweats were coming out and dried in her clothes. She looks pale yet she’s healthy from inside ou
“I AM going to kill them all just like the first one!” said Drakaina while they are running. “What do you mean, ‘just like the other one?’” The king said. “I burned one of them. She was very powerful for a servant like her but I’m more powerful than her. I killed her with my own power. Darkness with light versus just darkness.” “We better get hurry. I’m still confuse of what happened. Suddenly, we were back to normal, you did nothing to get us back.” “You better thank me, young man! If I didn’t stop myself, you all better be dead right now.”&nb
SERAPHINA can’t stop thinking about her daughter. All ifs she could think of are messing up her mind. They are now going outside of the palace to meet the king and his soldiers. Drakaina is leading the way while Seraphina is just following her with occupied mind. “Hana, wait!” Seraphina called her daughter. Drakaina stopped and turned, “First, I am not your daughter, Hana. My name is Drakaina, like you always call me, even though Hana doesn’t like it to hear from you. But lucky for you, that’s what I like. Okay? So, why did we stop?” “I know what happened back in the cave. You are not my daughter but, I know some of you is part of me, too. The darkness in you, it all came from me, and I want
“THEY didn’t find anything suspicious that could lead to her. That all means that she got able to escape the palace without our guards noticed her,” King Chen said while walking back in forth. “We have to do something before her pack can make a huge panic to the city. If she was hungry and killed one of our soldiers, then the rest of her pack must eat, too.” Hana said while watching him. “How are we supposed to catch all of them without letting the people inside the walls, notice about the threat?” “Can you please stop? You’re making my head hurt by just looking at you,” Hana couldn’t stand of him. She held her head and gently stroking it on its back.&

SEVERAL nights and days passed and finally, they arrived in the Rainforest Biome, South-East part, where water benders live – Water Nation Village. They left the ship at the deep surface near the shoreline. The place seems to have become a silent nation. No audible noise of children playing or not so people walking from around. “Where is everyone?” Hana asked while they are walking towards the main entrance gate of the village. “I don’t know and I’m not sure what was exactly happened here.” Keiynan replied without removing his sight on the surroundings. “What do you mean ‘you don’t know’? Is there something we
IN THE morning, as if the moon and night with it were swiped to become morning with the wide rays of light which touches the whole land and ocean. The lady woke up early and only surreptitiously looked at what she was doing whenever she passed in front of the guy sleeping on her bed. “Why am I here? Why didn't that mermaid just say what I wanted to know.” Hana was talking to herself while watching the two what will happen next. “I need to wake him up . . . But how?” The woman is just walking around, she couldn’t decide what to do with the man.She did not realize that the man had woken up already, “W-Where am I?”The woman was startled
HANA’S Point of ViewI WAS feeling perplexed and curious about my true existence after the consecution of event. Now, it seemed more revelation of myself. I wanted to know about myself that my father failed to tell me.Early in the morning where sun’s still hiding from the arid sand mountains. I sneak out cautiously and hushed so no one can hear me while carrying my dirty bag made of from the skin of slaughtered unrivalled camels. But I fail to accomplish my motives. I got caught by Chen, sitting on the floor near at the door.“Where do you think you’re going madame?” Chen asked smilingly.I was frost and rage of the situation. I can’t answer Chen directly like she did a big offence, but still I tried to
