2020-12-20 15:02:12THERE were memories Prince Zephrain would want to bury in his mind. Memories that were a combination of bitter and sweet. He neither wanted it to be remembered nor he wanted it to be forgotten. The paradox of his wishes made it more bittersweet than any other past of his.
He was only nineteen at that time, still considered as a young Kryst. He was naive, and he was in love of adventure. Not until he was introduce to a beautiful woman of his age. A woman of an entirely different world and power.
~O~O~O~
PRINCE ZEPHRAIN walked out of the throne room with a sigh of exhaustion and relief. He rubbed the side of his neck and rolled his left shoulder, grimacing when he felt the ache on his upper back. Really... he may be the first Prince but he's not the only one in line. There's still his younger brother, one who's intelligence was on par with him in a whole different level.
Zephrain groaned to himself. That was the problem. That kid was not yet ready to become the

THE BLIZZARD whipped snow and ice across the mountain pass, threatening to send the two figures skidding off the side of the cliff. If their shoes hadn't been equipped with spikes and if they hadn't been used to such tough travel, they would've certainly been dead by that point.The winter weather was being awfully wicked.Zephrain dug his boots into the ground to get a firmer stance, one hand clinging to a bit of rock on the mountainside. This storm had come from nowhere. Nothing in the sky that morning had warned either him or Angelica that a blizzard was on the move, so they had thought it would be safe to go hunting and gathering on the mountainside.The two of them, along with the other members of the special squad, were on a mission in the northern land of Deirdre. Their comrades were left behind in a village near where they were right now.Bits of ice sliced at any bit of skin that was exposed, making him wish he had a full mask and not just his hood a

WARMTH.That was the first thing Vivien felt as she stirred into consciousness. She was warm again, and she could feel blankets and furs tucked in around her. A piece of soft fluff was tickling her exposed skin, but she realized that it was just Snow, who seemed to be laying on her chest. Snow was the small white bird she saved while in a travel with Marjien. Since then, Snow tagged along with the two of them.Someone touched her forehead; delicate, cool fingers resting against her skin. The hand traveled to her cheek, a thumb running across her cheekbone. Her hand snapped out and caught the three of the big fingers that were touching her. It was more of a reflex than anything. She opened her eyes, blinking in the dim candlelight, and saw a young man leaning over her. She recognized the big emerald eyes, but now she could see the face those kind eyes belonged to.The man, Zephrain, had auburn hair that looked like the leaves in the autumn season. It fell around his

AFTER all those days of simply laying in bed and recovering, Vivien was finally allowed to get up and move around Zephrain's quarters. She was under strict orders from Celine to stay inside if at all possible, since the days were bitterly cold up in the mountains. No one wanted her to get sick again.Snow was perched on Vivien's shoulder as she stepped out from the little room she had been sharing with Angelica, cautious in this strange house. It was different from any houses in Demetrius Kingdom, although the Cold Mountain was still within the territory. The house, particularly the huge quarters of Zephrain and his friends, was a large circular structure made entirely from thick wooden beams that held in the warmth, and the rooms were all arranged a central space.It was also seemingly full of people.The circular space in middle of the house was overflowing with circus members sitting around, working, chatting. There was a table where people were sewing and stitc

THEIR dance costumes waved around, creating a blur of silver and white, with Vivien laughing and trying to escape from the clutch of the girls of the village while Gisel held her down and Clara was torturing her. They wanted to know about her and Zephrain and all she could say was "shut up".The door to the building flew open, letting in the harsh frozen wind. It swirled inside, bringing snowflakes, ice, and Marjien. "Vivi!" she called, interrupting the laughing and the music.She was instantly on her feet, recognizing the urgency in her young friend's tone. She stepped over Gisel and Clara and rushed to her side. "Come on, Celine needs us. It's their two men, they were out in the snow too long," she said as grabbed her cloak and tossed it to her while she hurried to take off her dance slippers and put on her boots. "They seemed to be attacked," Marjien added in a whisper.Worry and frustration showed through her expression, and she knew there were multiple reasons

ZEPHRAIN was still hovering near the doorway when he heard Celine and Angelica telling Vivien to rest. He moved the cloth from the door to look at Vivien and saw her trying to stand. She looked overly exhausted, even if her mask was still on her face, and was going down. Before he could think about her other situation - that she was wearing one cloth down to her underwear - he was already moving past the door and hurried towards her. Before she toppled over or any of the girls could move, he was already in front of Vivien.He caught her by the waist, keeping her upright and holding her close to him. She was trying to look at him but he could see past the holes of her mask that her eyes were closing. "You did a good job, Viv," he told her. "Thank you."She then closed her eyes completely and lost her consciousness. Zephrain shifted Vivien and hooked his other arm under the bend of her knees and carried her in bridal style. He turned to Celine, Angelica and Marjien. "She h

"I CAME from the Li Tribe," Vivien began. She paused and watched for their reactions. Nobody even batted an eyelash as they stared at her. She turned her eyes to Zephrain and they stared at each other's eyes, his emerald ones unwavering. "So, you knew," she despaired. How much do they know?Zephrain nodded. "We suspected when you used the crystal magic. But now that you confirmed it, we still can't understand how you acquired such power. Healing using the crystals or even transforming into one is not a quality a Li possessed, no offense meant."Vivien shook her head. "None taken." She looked down at her hands and continued, "Ever since I was little, I've had this magic apart from my tribe." She found herself not looking at them. It was easier to tell the story if she didn't have to look them in the eyes. "This power, the Crystal Beast, had been in our tribe a long time, even before the Blood Stars were born. But sometimes it skips generations. My great grandaunt was the

VIVIEN stood up and squinted into the distance, but the raiders were too far away for her to see. "How do you know?"Zephrain let out a foggy breath and smiled. "The light.""We have to tell the others," she said, taking his hand and heading for her their shared house. He hurried along beside her, the snow and ice crunching under both of their boots.Worry created a storm within her. Raiders are not the same as bandits. They were Krysts defected from the ranks of Krystalline Palace and were creating ruckus all over the Kingdom of Demetrius. She couldn't remember a time when a village was attacked with her in it before. And as far as she could see, the village in the Cold Mountain was well-hidden and tucked away into a remote place in the mountains, almost impossible to find unless you knew it was there. It was probably simply bad luck that they had been discovered, but that bad luck could ruin them.If there were raiders on the way, the village would need to

A TENSED silence settled over the village as they waited for the raiders to appear. Up on the ledge, Marjien hoped that Vivien would be safe. She knew that Vivien was hell-bent in protecting this village. It was always like this when Vivien felt compelled to protect something or someone.Not all in this village could fight, but they - the villagers - were willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their home. Including the two young women beside Marjien.Gisel, who was positioned on Marjien's right, was shivering and nervous, but she also looked confident. Clara, however, was calmer in the outisde. Among the two of them, Clara was hard to read. Sometimes, she teased around but there were times that Clara was silent and focused on her work. Marjien had seen battle numerous times before, and seeing Clara holding a bow that seemed like a natural extension of her arm made her deduced that Clara was adept in the long-range combat."Maji," Gisel said, scooting closer to

The ceremony was short and rushed as everyone were exhausted and distraught. They paid tribute to every single fallen Kryst and then buried the Knights of Shaula in their own monuments. Neptos was buried in the cemetery for the Rein Tribe while Vivien Li in her own tribe. Kieran Lornn was brought to the Lornn Tribe in a closed casket, never to be opened.Those who led in the war were given rewards. Barbie Lewelyn, Lucian Liu, Zabdiel Lewelyn, Clive Travis, and Jared Dale were hailed as the new Knights of Bellatrix."I know it's late. But this is how I wanted to honor her," Queen Elisa told them in a hushed voice.Barbie regained her strength two months after and it was enough for Zephrain to make some sentiments with the Krystalline Palace.Zephrain was standing right in the middle of the vast graveyard, the horizon looming ahead and the Mountain Ranges surrounded him, as if looking over on what he had been gazing at for many times in a day... everyday.He heard a rus

When the Knights positioned outside the barrier, Chloe removed her armor from her body. She wore a plain red shirt with gray pants. The young Blood Star sat on the ground, her legs crossed under her.Lucian positioned behind her, standing with his right palm pressed behind her head. "Are you sure about this, Chlo'?" he asked."I must be asking you that, Lulu-chi." Chloe smiled. "I never had the chance to thank Demetrius for this."Lucian gritted his teeth to control his tears. He didn't say anything at all, afraid that his voice might give away his sorrow.Jucel brought the Bellatrix sword to Chloe. The latter shook her head. "You must do it."The freckled woman let out a deep breath. "You're cruel."Chloe just smiled. She stared at the back of a familiar duo. "Mē, Zē." She swallowed. "Thank you."Outside the barrier, Faline Liu and Iwaoka were trying their best not to cry. They neither answered her nor looked back. The three inside wouldn't hear them, anyway.

Meanwhile, Barbie ducked under Kirsten's staff and swiped her leg under the latter. Kirsten lost her balance but regained herself, and flipped away before she could reach the hard ground.Barbie stood and twirled her sword while her dagger was positioned in front of her. The electricity from her body was back, recharging her energy through the wrath that she felt.Kirsten charged again and swung her sword before giving Barbie a side kick. The latter crossed her wrists to block another kick but grunted when Kirsten's high heel dug on her flesh. She gripped Kirsten's ankle, electricity ran through the Great Witch who screamed. Barbie hurled her away, the heel ripping her skin in the process.Blood oozed from Barbie's wrists and ran down her fingers then dripped to the ground. She could feel her nerves shaking on her right wrist where a hole from Kirsten's heel dug into. An open wound near her large vein."Tch," Barbie said as she wrapped her left hand around her righ

Snow endlessly falls down from the cloud-covered sky. But despite that, the whole land of Markus was not freezing in cold. The Fire Land was warmer below at the same time colder in the surface. Although the surroundings were frozen in ice crystals and covered with snow, it was not enough to freeze a Demetri.Chloe Liu walked for a few meters to the center and stopped under the tree. Her golden eyes roam around and saw that she was surrounded by Black Shaols.The young Blood Star smirked. "You really brought them out for your gain, Liege."A large man with a black armor emerged from the crowd of enemies, a triumphant smirk etched on his face. He had a golden crown with the symbol of Illinor at the center. He's holding a large sword with broad blade. Chloe thinks he could cut a large tree with it.But, not her.She figured out that the Southern Region has a tunnel underneath it, used by the same enemy fifty years ago to infiltrate the land of Markus. It doesn't fa

The time had been ticking that moment. It runs around the clock day and night. Not even the prince I served, Særi ust Trūx Ciaran, can stop the time all at once. There will be choices to make. There will be memories of pain.The Great Witch, with Kirsten Zūng as its vessel, has ordered a massive hunt for our deaths. The Kingdom of Demetrius, my home, experienced its biggest war in history.Once again, many shall lose their lives for the peace we so wanted. Witches from Illinor began to make their way to the Eastern Region where they will be able to invade the city of Markus.The whole population of the bloodlust witches and traitors of Demetrius bounded off around the Ahn Mountain Pass and made their way to the city of Markus, the city which the great General Dana Rein conquered. The Land rich of Fire Element. There's no mercy, no holding back.I haven't been into this kind of war. None of us have. Bellatrix of Orion, will you save us from sure death?Only I, a Mnemos

Jared landed on the ground face-first. He pushed himself up and sighed softly as he opened his now blazing dark green eyes. He pushed out of the way in time to avoid the axe of the enemy. Jared picked up the fallen soldier's sword and swung it blindly in front of him, cutting deeply on the skull of the enemy.He grimaced as he stood limply, his injury now bothering him than before."Red!" Clive's voice rang through the noise of the battle. He turned and raised his hand to catch his sword. Jared didn't waste time swinging his blade across the approaching enemy's chest.~O~O~O~"Damn it! Where the hell was Kirsten?" Tara asked as she kicked away an opponent and swung her spear to another Illinora.Vivien swung her two white silver swords across the Illinora's face and whirled around the enemy's side before bringing her blade down their injured necks. She put her blades together and ran the blades across each other. The blood was quickly wiped off the blades, clean

Clive and Celine stepped back as another explosion occured at the boundary.Huge dark brown ugly-looking beasts were roaming around; snarling and shaking their heads furiously as blood were oozing from their faces and body.Clive whirled at Celine who was standing calmly beside him. Celine began to bark orders in a calm voice. Fire began to float all around them, courtesy of the Fire Element Krysts."Archers!!" Celine shouted. Clive raised his hands and the fire enveloped him. It made him smile with joy. Being enveloped in fire made him think about the time he discovered his power as a boy.The archers notched their arrows and aimed at the borders. Clive brought his hands towards the arrows, the fire began to lick the tip of the arrow notched.Celine smirked at him and nodded. She looked at those beasts that managed to enter the borders. "Hold!!"Silence enveloped the whole area. Five kilomenters. Four. Three. The archers didn't move an inch.Celine pulled an ar

The Krysts began to follow Ciaran and Zephrain's instructions. The Travis Tribe and the other tribes from the Markus City vowed to help in the war against the Great Witch. They prepared traps everywhere. It took them a whole day to prepare.Lucian and his friends decided to get over the grief they had over Kieran. With Jucel and Celine's efforts, Zabdiel's consciousness came back.Upon hearing about Kieran's death, Zabdiel didn't know what to say. He started to blame himself, but there's no denying that no one wanted to lose Kieran Lornn."Where's his body?""Chloe said he's at the palace back in Vestia," Lucian murmured.Zabdiel could only nod his head and then he went back to his trance, mourning for his older friend. He clenched his jaws and his fists. Zabdiel vowed that he will seek revenge on Kieran's death.Three days came and no Kirsten Zūng appeared. Celine brought Lucian, Barbie, Zabdiel, and Clive to a storage room."What are we doing here?" Clive aske

Queen Elisa stood at the first steps outside the palace. She was covered with wool coat to prevent the freezing cold from seeping through her body. Her white hair cascaded on her shoulder and her crown sat atop her head.The soldiers are already positioned, all of them sitting on the Pegasi - another type of horses used for battle. These horses have the wings of eagles they can fly the soldiers towards Markus and pass the Dark Forest. Because of the vulnerability of the Pegasi under the sun, they had to wait under the weather was colder so they can use them for transportation.Chloe was sitting on her own Pegasi, a jet black horse with stronger, wider wings than the others. Her golden eyes looked up at the Queen and found her staring. Chloe just nodded at her which she answered a small smile and a nod. The Blood Star then took hold of the reins and bounded to the front lines.Jucel and Jared went out of the palace. Jared still looked emotionless as before. Ever since Jucel'
