"Nineteen years ago, my husband was given an important mission by the king, and on that day the king was very happy and had announced to all the inhabitants of this land that a new successor to the throne would be born, namely the birth of his child into this world, but shortly after the birth of the child, the wife was bleeding profusely and her life could not be saved. When the king heard the news of his wife's death, he immediately approached her body, which was still lying limp next to her son. The king was devastated by the death of his wife, but he was also happy about the birth of his son, and for about a week the king mourned the death of his wife, whom he loved so much. Unfortunately, this deep sadness actually allowed the darkness within him to control him and made the king throw away his son, thinking that the child was an "unlucky bearer of his life". The commander's wife explained this to Cyril in tears, and then he told the story to Cyril again.

"Then Commander Augusta was ordered by the King to throw the child out of this country immediately, but as my husband could not bear to see this innocent child abandoned, he came home and asked me my opinion as to where the baby should be taken. I suggested that he take the baby to the forbidden forest and meet the sage who lives there, and leave the baby with the sage". said the lady. Cyril was very surprised and could not say anything else because he felt that the commander's wife was referring to him.

"But unfortunately the king recently began to know that his son was still alive, so he ordered troops to search for the child all over the country to kill him, so my husband immediately met the sage again and invited him to go away with the child. Unfortunately, the sage refused to go, so my husband was ordered to take him to the palace to see the king himself" said Commander Augusta's wife.

"Then do you know what happened to my father ?" continued Cyril, feeling sad and very worried.

"I'm sorry Cyril, I don't know the details because my husband still hasn't returned from that incident." The Commander's wife replied.

"I wonder how long it has been since your husband has come back, madam ?" Cyril asked curiously.

"It's been about 2 years." The Commander's wife replied.

Cyril couldn't say anything but shed tears, holding back the sadness he felt, the anger and disappointment in his father for not telling him who he really was all this time.

Then Cyril spent the night in the Commander's house and prepared to travel to the Kingdom of Villmort the next day, and after he fell asleep, the dream came to him again, and this time Cyril was no longer afraid, but he was very curious about all of this and asked the old man, "Do you already know all of this ?", "Yes my son, but you needn't be afraid because I will always be here for you and I will guide you so that you don't fall into darkness". The old man answered very wisely.

"Then what should I do now ?" Cyril asked the old man.

"Keep walking in the light that is still within you, don't let the darkness overtake you. Never ignore the words of those around you, digest them before you act, lest the light within you be lost". Cyril awoke and pondered the old man's answer in his dream, then soon fell back asleep.

The next day, Cyril awoke ready to travel to the Kingdom of Villmort.

After saying goodbye to the wife of the commander Augusta, Cyril returned to continue his journey on horseback through forests, valleys, mountains and wide meadows and rivers.

And the journey takes about 2-3 days on horseback.

Meanwhile,

The alliance forces of the human nations from the kingdoms of Villmort, Zilgor and Baugmerton, led by Commander Augusta Cloudiastra, faced off against the alliance forces of the elven nations from the kingdoms of Sylverian and Sanctum. The battle took place in the valley of Ra'Amman, on the border between the human and elven realms.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

The total army of the human alliance was around 6,000, and the alliance of the elven nations was around 5,000. The war, which was quite fierce and large, took a number of casualties and was won by the elven troops. To repel the allied forces of the human race. Many families lost men and children in the war.

Meanwhile, fighting also broke out in the northern part of the country. This is the alliance between the humans and the dwarves against the great invasion of the orc army.

The total army of both sides was around 20,000, and the allied forces managed to win the war and occupy the northern dwarven kingdom, the kingdom of Gogh'Kazan.

Fighting continues throughout the land and there is no sign of an end - yet.

Cyril arrived on a hill near the kingdom of Villmort, and he could see the kingdom of Villmort from afar, then he said in his heart, "I'm home, but it's not the king I'm looking for, it's my father and commander Augusta". Then Cyril came down from the hill and went to the Kingdom of Villmort.

When Cyril arrived in the kingdom, he immediately sought an inn to rest in while he asked the people he met if anyone had seen the figure of his father enter the city. But all the people he met said that they had never seen him enter the city. After Cyril booked a room, he immediately went up to his room to rest, hoping that his father was still alive and could come home with him.

But as Cyril rested, there was suddenly a knock on the door, loud enough to wake him. Cyril immediately grabbed his sword and cautiously walked to the door of his room. He felt anxiety, fear and apprehension all at once, but his determination to meet his father was so great that he ignored his feelings and opened the door immediately. Then the royal guards from the Kingdom of Villmort entered to arrest Cyril.

Cyril did not remain silent and fought them. There was bloodshed in Cyril's room, but as there were too many of them, Cyril tried to get out of his room. Unfortunately, he was too late. Cyril was also besieged and they managed to catch Cyril and take him to the Royal Prison and then confiscated all the equipment Cyril had brought with him.

Cyril was curious and wondered how the royal guards of Villmort could have known of his presence in the hotel. Not long after Cyril was arrested and taken to prison, a woman came to see the warden. The woman looked familiar to Cyril. As the woman approached, Cyril was surprised to see that the woman was the wife of the Commander, Augusta.

Then Cyril shouted at him and said "Hello this madam, this is Cyril, please help me get out of here". "I'm sorry Cyril, I have to do all this so that I can see my husband again". The Commander's wife replied, crying. And again Cyril was silent and speechless because the person he trusted for helping him tell his past story was the one who told the Royal Guards to arrest him.

So Cyril cried from the prison cell because he felt that this world was not fair to him. There are many hard things he has to go through or endure during this time.

Then the darkness began to overtake Cyril and affect him to end his life. After that, Cyril secretly began to take the small knife that was in the prison guard who was sleeping near his prison cell.

After that, Cyril took the knife and held it to his neck. Then a very bright light appeared in front of him, and in that light it was like the shadow of an old man, and then there was a voice saying, "Cyril, my son, don't do this. You are not alone, there are still many people who truly love and care for you. It is only a matter of time before you are reunited with them, and remember that your father is waiting for you. Then Cyril cried and threw away the knife he had been holding.

Everything that happened to him at that time made Cyril so exhausted that he even fainted.

Then Cyril realised when he heard a voice from the prison guard announcing that it was time to eat. And Cyril woke up feeling very hungry, but the food the prison guards brought was not healthy, but like it or not, Cyril had to eat it.

After that, Cyril started planning his way out of the place. Suddenly, the prison guards approached Cyril and said, "Young man, prepare yourself, because tomorrow you will be sentenced to death.

Cyril was also surprised to hear the guard's words, but Cyril suddenly had an idea on how to get out of prison by taking advantage of what would happen tomorrow. Cyril thought hard and came up with a way to get out.

As Cyril was looking for the idea, he suddenly heard a voice from the cell next to the prison, "Hello, are you really the son of the sage ?"

Cyril was very surprised to see a black shadow in the cell next to his prison and said "Who are you and what is your business ? "You don't need to know who I am but I will help you to get out of this place but there is one condition, you have to let me come with you to get out of here, how about my offer Cyril ?" the stranger replied.

Cyril thought about it all day. It was getting late and Cyril had decided to cooperate with the stranger. Then they began to make plans to get out of the prison, and after finding a way to get out of the place, they rested. The night passed and dawn came. The day Cyril had been waiting for had come.

Cyril said in his heart, "Dad, wait for me. I'll bring you home soon."
