Early in the morning when Mizuko started to get ready for her visit inside the castle. She feels giddy, excited and nervous about it. She opens her closet and searched for her best dress, she put it on and fixed her hair.
Mizuko remember how her mother used to tie her hair and so she did it, braiding a few strand but letting the others drop. This should make the king interested of her whereabouts. When he sees Hanabi in her, he will instantly think of his sister and he would probably ask of her origins. It should revive the memory of her mother.
Once she was done she inhaled and exhales it deeply, going out of her room.
Outside, she sees Miranda putting some bottle and herbs on her basket. When the witch saw her she put a smile.
“Good morning, Mirand
As Mizuko roams around the castle she could feel the sadness in every hall. Every step she takes, her feelings suddenly feels heavy. And then she notices a painting that really caught her attention.There is something about it that makes her want to stare. A clear detailed painting with a small hut over the banks of a lake. There was also a small thin bridge and trees with different colored leafs. It’s a peaceful painting and she wonders who paints it.Just then a sweet humming had called her and so she went and followed it. It lead her in front of a big door and she stared at it for moments, her eyebrows knitting together slightly. She feels some energy in there and then suddenly the door creaked open.If she didn’t know there was magic in this world, she would fe
Hannock could not control his anger. In his mind are a lot of questions. How does Zhemier have both crystals? How did the crystal of Light end up in his hands? That has never happened before.This means Zhemier can do anything he wants to do like that dream Hannock has. If the demon prince has it then he should be eliminated for the crystals to be reborn."I have to earn my niece's trust really soon. I have to know if she holds the key to killing the demon prince."***Three weeks since Mizuko started studying in the academy of magic, she already learned lots of things. She has also been coming back to the castle a lot and the king, her uncle would also teach her stuffs. Her only problem is her uncle's adoptive son, the prince Yushiro. He had to interrogate her but it became useless because Hannock belie
At the top of the palace’s highest tower, Kenshi stood, his golden eyes fixed at Hannock and Mizuko. They are headed to the gates, leaving the castle for something Kenshi has to guess again. It’s getting harder to correctly guess what Hannock is about to do.The more Kenshi looks at Mizuko, the more he wants to take her away. But he knows it will only be harder for Mizuko if he let his feelings out of control. If he disrupts this plan and take her away, Hannock will kill innocent humans and demons. It will only be then that he can do something. Part of his promise is not to kill Hannock until Hannock crosses the border of Yami and does harm there.“If only you didn’t take in Hikari, you could have easily assassinated Hannock,” the crystal of Yami whispered in his ear.
Outside the witch and the wizard’s shop is Miranda looking side to side. She’s been doing doing that for couple of times now, hoping for Mizuko to show up and get home any moment now before it’s dark.Miranda is restless. Lately, Mizuko has been spending her time learning magic in the academy and training with Hannock. She knows what that will bring them, she knows the good days are ending. In three days, Yami will lose its crown prince, he will wander in his sleep and when he wakes, that smile will soon be visible again.Losing all hope as the sky painted black, Miranda let out a heavy sigh, looking up and sniffling from the cold. She bit her lower lip and rubbed her arms with her hands. What is Mizuko doing? It’s getting late.“Miranda, get back inside! The young lady will be home if she wants to come home!” Master Kaja told her.
The sun had faded and the sky was all dark with the full moon on its peek. Mizuko finds it calm to stare at the night sky. It's like lately, she has not been herself. Her hands were being controlled, her mind is filled with voices and she could not even go visit master Kaja and Miranda.In the veranda, in her mother's room she waits for her uncle's call. Hannock told her that they should stand guard in the front balcony and wait for those who will attack. It is said that when there is a full moon, enemy of this Kingdom and those humans who tries to bring fall into Hikari will likely attack for the energy of light is low.She does not get any of it but she knows she needs to protect her kingdom of those enemies. It is the only thing she can do for her kingdom—little things.Just some moments later, she heard a kno
Hannock's evil laughter filled the beautiful night and it started ringing into Mizuko's ear. Her wide eyes darted at demon she shot and the man beside him, calling his name, Zhemier. Pixie had called Kenshi that name before.Everything was in slow motion, even the way she blinked and her tears falling down. She ran towards Kenshi but her feet were suddenly heavy, taking her some time to even take a step. What's happening to her?"Mizuko, run away!" When she heard those words, she stopped running halfway towards them. Hannock took the chance to raised his sword and swing it across, cutting through the other demon who knew her.Who is he? Why does he know her?The moment Hannock was about to wield his sword ag
A year had passed and all of Hikari are in chaos. Some humans had started crossing the border, fleeing Hikari and seeking for refuge in the border land. Some humans who are too afraid to leave stayed but they were like beggars and have almost nothing to eat unless they give the King what he wants.In Pinress, there are Knights who guards some places and some has to guard themselves. Most of the time, Mizuko and the others would help some humans, rescue their people and kill the deformed humans who are Hannock’s devils.“They’re getting stronger, brother. How are we supposed to stop them now? What if it bothers Yami?” Mizuko asked Kozuko. They just killed three deformed devils and they know how they are getting closer and closer to the border of Yami.&l
The night has come for Hannock to give orders about attacking the lovely village his niece and nephew built. There's no stopping him now and although he knows it resides within Yami, he does not care. What does the King of Yami have? His demon knights? Well Hannock has got devils that are starving for more bloodshed."Tonight we attack my sister's precious little village!" Hannock announced to his new subjects. "Execute everyone you see!"The devils shouted their excitement, raising their big axes made of wood and stone stringed together and their machetes. Each of their mouth plasters a big grin.“Should we leave Kozuko and Mizuko out of it, our King?” Agars had ask him. The other demons had gone silent, waiting for his reply.“I am awar
