Night of the red moon. Demon-kinds gather around the newly built demon king's palace. Foot soldiers dress in pitch-black armor. Higher-ranked demon nobles dress in very exquisite attire. Especially the women who dressed up in the weirdest yet most luxurious dresses they could ever wear just for this moment. The night is a very special night since this is the night of the coronation. Tonight demon-kinds will have their very new demon king.Most of the nobles didn’t like the idea, but she was the only demon-kind with the nearest prowess that could rival the demon kings of the previous eras.At the center of the hall, a girl wearing a scarlet dress walked down the carpet.Whispers of demons who disapprove float around. At the same time, praises and admiration were showered on the young girl. The girl is the most beautiful. No doubt about that fact. Nothing can compare to her beauty. Her silky silver hair sways together with the cold breeze and her scarlet red eyes could stun anyone who m

Those are scary. Still, right at this moment, I don’t feel like I’m in danger at all. I stepped forward and asked once again.“Mister you have lots of wounds.”“Get away from me…”He said in his deep voice. I never heard a voice so deep as his before. Looking closely at his armor, I just realize how thick it was. His wearing full body armor that’s 2 inches thick. This must’ve been very heavy to carry. This means this mister is a very strong man.I would like to ask him lots of questions. Like hows, he end up the way he was. But I have no time for that. I don’t want to beat the bush further and do my thing.Approach him closely.“What are you doing kid? Get away now…”“I can’t just leave someone dying in front of me.”I replied and touched his arm.Even since I was a little kid, I have had this mysterious ability. My ability to heal anything.A long time ago, I was lost in this same forest when I saw a little bird. The bird has its wings wounded by a sharp branch. I was panicking and d

I’m sulking down on my knees as I watch the ducks swim through the river canal. I started to worry about where the ducks would swim if the river was gone. When I was little this river was deep and bigger, Compared to now, the water was still deep, but the water level is lower. Significantly lower. Before, even a small boat cannot pass through the bridge.I sighed and took a loaf of stale bread from my pocket and then started ripping them off into crumbs. Throwing the crumbs, feeding the ducklings that might lose their habitat somewhere in the future.My Aunt said that change is something anyone would not escape. Season change, the environment change, and people change.All you know now will change somewhere in the future. My Aunt crouched down, then, holds my head and hugs me saying that “At least, she wants me to stay as her little baby girl forever.” That’s kinda impossible since I’m going to become a big girl.The concept of change is being slapped on my face every time, yet, many

After meeting Aunt Kiyoko, Noel came with us to have dinner. While traversing the trails back home Aunt Kiyoko questions Noel some minor questions. Noel told us that she has no place to go and no companion with her. She came here to Senna country with an ally, but all of them died after their ship was destroyed by sea monsters. Noel manages to survive and reach out to the village.Noel must’ve incredible amount of luck to survive that kind of event. I met monsters before, but none of them were like in Noel’s descriptions.The monsters he describes we’re like dragons from fairytales. Giant monsters that could wreck ships in one swoop. Simply imagining the monsters gives me horrors. I don’t want to encounter such a thing in life. If I do, I’m a goner for sure.Well, I don’t have any plans of living in this peaceful village. I can see myself growing old in this place happily.Noel and I were eating next to each other while Aunt Kiyoko was in the kitchen preparing dinner. I could sense th

“1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 8… 7… 6…5…4… 3… 2…1…” We counted together stretching our arms upward. Next, hands on our hips and our cocked rotated our heads clockwise. “1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8…” Then, counterclockwise. “8… 7… 6…5…4… 3… 2…1…” After that, we all jump together in the same counting.What are we doing? It’s obviously a stretching exercise. Don’t make me look like some kind of lazy bum that only play around every day. Children who can do work with adults. Child work is not really labor since it's mostly light work.Playing around is fun, but fun should be balanced with some hardships. Well, work was fun when you were with someone you knew. Down the village there is a farm, this land is land that no one owns. All crops harvested on this farm was distributed to all resident of the village. The chief also thinks this is a good way to teach children a sense of responsibility.There are lots of fun things to do like hoeing the soil and harvesting berries and fruits. The milking cow i
