Chapter 3 Whisper of the past and future
Loki Pov
I have wandered in this fucking freezing land for 3 hours, fly surrounding this curse terrain ... what i could see just white and white oh and a little troll around...that doesn’t concern me... anyway when i almost give up searching for the source of that strange mana... i spotted 5 humanoid figures..walking hastily in the deep snow... it seems they are adventurers.. a dwarf..a rakshasa.. a beastkin and 2 human girl..no that little one...an elvhen!!!
It can’t be.... Their race was purged by “him”... no her eyes... her hair... it can not be.... This is not an illusion nor my usual imaginary delusion... it is her!!! My Eternal Beautiful Queen!! She..she is alive!! How.. Why her highness with them... and that appearance.... in this fucking terrain... Ohhhhh such a blessing.. to see her again.. Gaze on her highness again.. What a blessing... eventhough.. She is in a child's appearance i could sense her divine radiant figure and her eyes still the same crystal gold that could pierce any heart of man....
I still remembered eons ago when i first met her... I was born in hybrid village... I am a hybrid of elf and human.. Even though life was hard and we live Nomaden, avoiding the war and other pure races, we all live in peace... but that changed when we were spotted by human kingdom.. My village was purged.. Attacked.. The humans kill us mercilessly, like killing rats corrupting their field... i tried to defend my village but failed and struck by a human’s spear... who am i in this merciless world.. Is this going to be the end for me... then when I lost hope.. and in despair... Her highness come with her army... her radiant gold aura.. Were so bright and warm... The humans were scared and fear were written on all their face… that beautiful entity glow brightly in gold, charged in the front so fast like a comet and destroyed any being that hinder on her path… her gold sword were so many and floating in her back like a majestic gold wing…. She easily cut human flesh and armor like cutting paper… her combat, so beautiful like dancing in the rain of her foe’s blood while her gold sword striking, slashing and destroyed her enemy that dare stepping near her….Not long, she kills and beheaded all human armies... then….She walked towards me and look at me...
Ahhhhh such a blessing before i die i could gaze on her.... Then she talks to me...
“Weakling....”
I was shocked... with her alluring and beautiful sound..she called me weak..why......I know deep in my heart, I despise myself for my powerlessness..but in the end I fight for my village…. As I tried to find a reason..
She gives me one…
“If you have a courage to defend your love one then.. Wake up... Stay with me... Serve me…. Fight with me….. To clench your own happiness…. Don’t give up and defeated by your own powerlessness...”
I am shivering from my distant past memory…. Such a day that changes me…
When i was busy gazing at her beautiful figure... i could sense horde of trolls were charging at them... The adventurers could defend their own... my queen just stares there and observe how the adventurers fighting against the troll horde... although they were pushed by the amount of trolls, they could handle it with their teamwork.. But that didn’t stay long after the troll’s Warchief join the fray.. The dwarf was caught off guard by the Warchief and thrown out... when that creature starts to approaching their mage... my queen move...
She was so fast..so ferocious..so mighty..so divine..... She ends that pitiful creature beautifully... ohhhh.. How her combat still beautiful as ever... why she is not use her swords magic to end all the horde faster?... oh, maybe she doesn’t want to show her power to them....
Then… she look at me… with the same eyes… full of fire and life… she found me again!!!! Ohhhhhhh….. I am melted before her eyes…. I stopped at observing her and flying down near her….
Hekate Pov
That entity flew down around here......
This mana...... it is him.....
"I know your there Loch'kyirm!!! Show yourself!!!"
Suddenly Loki appears and kneel down. With disbelief and happy looks written on his face ….
"I am here my queen... I apologize to not recognize you. I can't believe you were alive...Please punish me for my negligence"
"Enough........I need to know!! What happen to my dear brother!! And this world... is change!! i just awake from my slumber and what year it is?? Also, where is our empire!!"
"Asleep?? So that's what happen... I am sorry... first..High commander was perished when the divine summit was held and soon after a big catastrophe happens change our world... our empire is no more. Neither all the kingdoms and empire of our past still stood"
".............Catastrophe... please give me your wisdom what happen from when i was gone..."
"... very well my queen.... That day, When you were gone.... The high commander proclaims that you has resigned as a queen and come to eternal sleep and with the Acanceau crown in his hand as proof... from then on.. The divine summit was held, however, before that happens... His worshiped trust me with an artifact and warn me to not come in the divine summit….Furthermore instruct me to the royal safe place... In that time I was confused, but I am still faithfully obey...
Then from the divine summit direction a bright green light bursting in the sky.... And a great earthquake following after that, the sky was split open like fall apart, creating rift... the wrath of sea summoning many tsunamis swallowing the land..."
"Soon... countless life were perished... the great continent, we used to know split into 5 continents... as our mother earth face change... the sight of it is the most frightening yet the most magnificence sight...the real raw power of nature... Unstoppable...
"The royal safe place were imbued by the high commander power and yours, my queen... it protects me from any harm....I am very grateful also in the same time sad for my brethren... the catastrophehappensto 1 year but..Extinguish a great amount of lives a far cry from any war casualties, races and clans that have once flourished were extinct after that i try to help anyone in need, despite their races.... From the rift that was created from that light summon ferocious entity soon we called monsters... then One being that Has the same power as yours, my worshipped, Appear... with a silver aura around him... he lead all races. Humans, raksashas, dwarfs and beastkin ... with The 9 gods helped him that including me... we build kingdoms and empires once more and as the monster for our common enemy..We united and drove them to the south..... For more than 900 years we are at peace and prosperity.. Thus we the nine gods and the Supreme Being were worshiped by all the races... "
"So... my dear brother left me……”
"Apologize my queen...."
"For all the information you tell me is it the truth!"
“I swear it with my true name...."
"Then swear it...."
"..........................................................."
“Very well.....i believe you..........Now Tell me... who is the Supreme Being and other gods…. Beside you...”
"The supreme being is... half elf and humans... first time i met him when fighting some monster while protecting the refuges... his power remind me of you my liege.... his personality isn't bad either aside the hatred for elvhen race and he purge all of them.... he refuse to discard any races beside elvhen and unite all... The other god soon born from the refuges... they are how we called in the past "lesser god"... An entity that thrives their power and step in god's realm.... well for their power are not bad but it is still pathetic comparing the warring state period when you my queen waging The great war with other powerful entity of every race....."
"Hekmatyaaaar are you okay in theeree???" (Sera)
"AAaah..yeeess i am coming now....."
"Loch'kyirm..i ask your cooperation... cover my entity, from any other gods, especially from the supreme being....also give me the artifact that entrusted by my brother to me..."
"As you wish, my Queen..."
Loch'kyirm opens up his palm and summon a white box floating on his hand glowing weakly... ..
"This...........box............"
"My queen if i may...Did you know what artifact it is....? For 900 years I tried to know what it is I...."
"Loch'kyirm…..i know what it is..... This is Lach'crima an artifact were made by both of us...
I smile it is really nostalgic...
"This box is imbued with our magic that forever protect our messages inside, only me and my dear brother could open it....."
"ahhh.. No wonder....."
"Hekmatyaaaaaaaaarrrr?" (cyril)
"Coming nooow!!"
I weave my hand and my gold aura appear and made a ring glowing faintly with golden light....
"Here wear this... we could communicate using this... no magic nor any technique could trace this"
"Much grateful my queen...."
"I will contact you again…Now leave me..."
"Aui Eeizt fuhreer Aztaro'th” (long live my demon queen)
After she learns some of the information from loki... she starts to run back to the charges... they talk a bit and decided to continue their trip to the nearest city Asthor....
Afternoon, Entrance of the city of asthor
Hekate Pov
When we were arrived at the entrance of the city. We are welcomed by the guards… they all has happy face and smiling when saw us… it seems the charges were well loved by the guards of this city…
When the guards talking to gajeel and ryu’uk ,I gaze at the view outside of the city…. Asthor city is located near the beach… even though snow were pilling outside the city... the city itself is clean… the road are paved… 2 meters tall bricked wall surrounding the city...A large wooden gate with 4 guards in charge… when I waited for permission to go inside also chattering about their adventure… I could see hunter were coming back to their city with a dead animal on their backs…. All of their featureslookrough, but smile always painted on their face, can’t wait to meet their loved one….
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Not long we get the permission to go inside…. When I walked to go inside… I hold my breath…. For The sky were bright with yellow and orange color while the sun were setting in the sea.... loud noises were coming from the city with bright cheerful tone… women are chattering and gossiping about their love… children playing and laughing in the street and their mother shouting to go home for dinner… wives are welcoming their husband from their work while their husband with fulfilling’s looks on their face watching their family welcoming him… in the beach many sailors with their ship arrived from the sea with fishes.. And with their friends finding some bar for drinking happily…..
I was stunned… in awe with this peaceful view… in my heart, I was truly happy... this is what I dream of… what I longing…..peaceful…… yet... I feel sad… I realize I am alone….. Tears start to flow down from my eyes….
Cyril looks at me… with sad face, thenshe hugs me…. I was startled... I don’t know why, but... I embrace her I feel warm and loved…. I hold my cry… then all of the charges surrounding me… in the middle of street gajeel said….
“You could cry...little one don’t hold it...We will protect you… around you… people will not look at your beautiful cry….”
…….. Ahh... They all so kind….. I never have this affection except from my brother……
…. Then I cry… releasing all my sadness….
The charges were surrounding me…. Cyril still hugs and hold me….. She cast noise cancelation around us so people don’t hear me when I cried….
I cry and cry… I don’t know for how long… but the sun already set and the night come…..they still stand around me…I …stopped my cry……….And give them my heartfelt gratitude….
“Hic…hic…..Thank… You…..”
“No worries little elf…. Here, let your hair hide your ears for a little bit…..ill wipe your tears….Now we will go to the inn and rest” Cyril
Night, frosting cake inn, Asthor city
Frosting cake inn was named after their famous ice cake… so sweet that many people far from the island come just to eat it… the inn itself has 4 stores.. 3 stores for their rooms and the ground floors for bar and restaurant…
In the bar with the crowd of people the charges drinking and eating…
Cyril Pov
“…… How was she….?” With concern looks sera ask her about hekmatyar condition…
“… She was…. Calm now… she is sleeping…..” I smiling remember how Hekmatyar’s innocent sleeping face…
“……She gone through a lot….At first I thought she was a tough kid… but when she saws many crowd people..Shestarts to break down….” (ryu’uk)
“She…. Has..A cruel past… I could see her eyes were full of sadness when I met her…. She tried to hide it, but… when she talked and wonder at the sky… her eyes full of sorrow…longing…” (gajeel)
What gajeel said is true... i feel depressed and curious to know what the hell happens with their race.... However, if she....
"I don't know what the hell happens.. If she doesn't want to share it it is fine... she through a lot and I want to be with her.. Help her.. I know it sound crazy and I just met her, but I really genuinely care about her...like my own sister"
"It is not just you Cyril... we all feels the same... i think you guys will agree if we stop our adventure for a while and take care of her?" (ryu'uk)
"I am in"(gajeel)
"You don't need to ask Ryu"(sera)
"Of course!!"(Cyril)
"Then let us toast!" (Cyril)
"yeaaaah!!!"
Ahhh..i feel so blessed by my friends, all of them are so kind.... They all my best companion both in job and my life....
When the charges are discussed in the bar..Hekate woke up from her sleep... she hardly sleepy because she already has sleep for more than 900 years, but the crying..shock her body and break down... thus she rest... now after she could manage her own feeling.. She wakes up...
HekatePov
Ahhh... I am a mess.... I just blurt out crying....hmm... they all kind people... Dirke.. You have made a new world.. a kind world.... thanks....
ah... now is the time to open dirke'slach'rima....
I chant spell for no one could both sense or hear what i am doing in this room...
"silencio"
A "wuuungg" noise was heard in seconds then gone....
i raise my hand and open my palm calling the lach'rima from my void space... not long.. A white box appears floating on my hand.. Glowing faintly... I imbued my mana inside it and the lach'rima make a sound with dirke raspy voice...
"When I was in despair.. I approach you and hugs you"
I replied with a sad voice.....
"In the sea of your brethren's blood I open my arms to you"
The lach'rima start to shake, then it glows brightly, and engulf the room with a white light......
…………………………My dear sister………………..(dirke)
Ahh… this voice… such a nostalgic feeling…my dearest….
“If you get this lach’rima then loch’kyrim safely give this to you and the world what my vision is becoming real….”
So you already planned this from the start… as expected of my strategist…
“I… I know… you have many questions for me….. But.. please understand… I did all of this for you..only you…. My love….”
You still feel at fauit and blame himself… I always forgiven you my brother…. Always….
“It’s all started when the Alliance instructed me to explore an ancient tomb near the dragonic territory…. What I found were many undead and ancient writing about an entity called hero…. The ancient writing said about a group of hero summoned from another dimension to subjugated an immortal monster, that have eaten many suns and planets…. The heroes succeeded, but with a horrible cost…. This tomb I suspect is the tomb of them…
“In the end of the tomb I met with an ancient skull dragon who protected their inner sanctum…. I fight him days and nights… almost all my troops were killed by the dragon… but in the end I could finish him and put a rest on its curse… but before the dragon perished… he talk to me… give me a divine artifact “pandora’s box”.. An artifact imbued with much knowledge and wisdom of both evil and good things…”
“I took the Pandora’s box inside my body… an unlimited amount of wisdom flowed through me… at first I feel confused..The world were spinning, I have gone mad from all these whispers inside of my head... but then I remembered you my love and you give me courage to focus and control both my mind and my body…. After that we come back to the middle earth… and find out about this disgusting plan to sacrificed you for the demons… I was angry and mad at them..especially for Raphael.. who dare to betray your trusts and love….. Within my newly power I destroyed them no one safe from my rampage…”
“With the alliance fall nothing could stand before me to reach you…. Then, I saw you..in the battlefield… as usual.. you are always survive even in the impossible places… you were dancing while slashing your enemy.. Smile with pure joy on your beautiful face, which is in contrast with the battlefield full of corpses and blood around you…. I fall in love again and again… everytime I saw you…..”
“After what have done to the alliance you decided to make a home for us… a peaceful home for the hybrid and demons…….Years has passed and our little home became an empire feard by other pure races…Even though War always painted in those years I never feeling sad…. My life in those years I could truly achieve happiness beside you….”
“Alas.. Happiness always ends so fast…. With the disgusting advice from that elvhen bitch.. you agreed to sacrifice yourself, as a cost to bind a promise of the ruler… promise of peace….. a blank hope!!”
“I know when you decided to do it..you will never back down… I can’t!!! I simply cannot live without you!! You are my only reason I am born…. You are my dogma!!!”
“I tried to find a way… a way that could save you and give you what truly desire…. Eternal peace….”
“and then.. Within the Pandora’s box.. a whisper of knowledge.. Taught me… of a spell… a magic and a definition of peace and chaos…..”
“One could not live without each other… One could never be born without each other… One will always in there beside the other one…. Walk side by side….”
“Peace cannot be achieved without chaos… one peace…one chaos…. One eternal order that brings peace… and one Eternal enemy that brings chaos!”
With that, I found a spell could split apart dimension… a rift in the sky… that summon monsters eternally… with other great ruler as sacrifice and myself….
I MADE THE ETERNAL PEACE!!!!! A NEW WORLD…… FOR YOU….MY LOVE…..
