"Thank you very much for accompanying me today," Gerhard said shortly after they arrived back in front of his house, after visiting Rosalie's grave for the last time.Valentina nodded enthusiastically and flew closer to Gerhard, "You don't need to be sad anymore, Gerhard," Valentina said.Gerhard smiled, "Actually, there's still one thing that bothers me. But perhaps another time," Gerhard said.As if understanding what Gerhard meant, Valentina reached for his hand and opened his palm wide. Then, she sat on it and began writing something."There, it's done," Valentina said, showing it to Gerhard. "This is the code you can use to enter the fairy realm," she continued.Gerhard widened his eyes and looked at Arthfael, then back at Valentina. "W- what? Isn't the realm of the fairy folk supposed to be kept secret? Are you sure?" Gerhard asked.Valentina chuckled, "Consider it my secret to someone who is about to die- I- I mean, leave. So, I trust you with it," Valentina said with a smile.
The process of creating Soulfire was finally complete. Today, Arthfael was going to retrieve the legendary sword at Gerhard's house after receiving a message through their interconnected magic from Valentina."Let's go there now," Arthfael urged, quickly strapping his usual sword to his back.After that, Arthfael went back to Gerhard's house to collect his Soulfire sword, which was ready to be used, accompanied by Valentina and Flare.As Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare arrived at Gerhard's house, they were greeted with warmth and excitement. Gerhard welcomed them with a big smile, knowing that Arthfael was about to receive the powerful Soulfire sword. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation and celebration."Welcome, Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare," greeted Gerhard as soon as the three creatures entered his house.Arthfael nodded his head, looking around and wondering where Soulfire was, as he was eager to see the sword."I can't wait to see the sword; it must be so beautiful!" exc
The sound of an alarm resounded throughout the Kingdom of Verdantia, even reaching Gerhard's location."What alarm is that again?!" Valentina exclaimed in panic.Gerhard turned his gaze and looked around, then he realized something, "That's a gathering alarm warning. Let's head there immediately," Gerhard urged.With a sense of urgency, Arthfael, Gerhard, Valentina, Flare, Neptunis, and Ian hurriedly made their way towards the source of the alarm. As they ran through the streets, they saw citizens of Verdantia panicking, seeking shelter, and looking worried.Arriving at the central square of the kingdom, they found a large crowd already gathered. King Endeavor, along with his royal guards, was standing on a raised platform, addressing the citizens."People of Verdantia, we have just experienced a powerful earthquake, and I fear that it was caused by none other than Searox, the seafer of the abyss!" Endeavor's voice boomed, his concern evident in his eyes.A collective gasp filled the
"Place him over here," Nikita instructed Arthfael, who was carrying Gerhard's unconscious body alone.Arthfael carefully laid Gerhard's body on a soft, glowing bed made of leaves and flowers. The bed emitted a gentle warmth, as if embracing Gerhard with healing energy. Surrounding them were the lush and magical landscapes of the realm of the fairies, filled with vibrant colors and enchanting sounds.Valentina, Flare, and Neptunis gathered around, their eyes filled with concern for Gerhard. Nikita approached the unconscious Gerhard, her wings shimmering in the soft glow of the surroundings. She placed her hand on his forehead, closing her eyes in deep concentration."His condition is critical," Nikita said with a somber tone. "The curse he bore for centuries has weakened him greatly. We must act swiftly to try and save him."Arthfael looked at Nikita with a mix of hope and worry. "Can you do anything to help him?"Nikita nodded. "I will do my best. Our magic here is potent, and I can u
Gerhard's body floated above the pool, unconscious. Golden light and sparkles continued to swirl around him as the twin fairies, Kylie and Millie, reached out their hands to heal him. These two fairies were a pair of twins with the power of healing.It was no wonder that Cecil objected to Leia's decision to call them, as he saw them all as intruders not permitted in the fairy world.The atmosphere was solemn as Kylie and Millie channeled their healing powers into the much larger body of Gerhard. Arthfael watched Gerhard with a worried expression. Leia flew over to where Arthfael was, accompanied by Valentina, Flare, and Neptunis."Don't worry, he will wake up soon. But it won't take long since the curse has been lifted," Leia said.Arthfael turned his gaze to Leia, and his eyes appeared teary. Despite knowing Gerhard for less than two months, Arthfael already felt as if Gerhard were family.Without Gerhard guiding him, Arthfael might not be where he was now. He wouldn't possess Soulfi
Leia can feel the emotional reunion with a soft smile, knowing that the healing had not only restored Gerhard's physical body but also mended the emotional wounds between him and Nikita.Leia turned to the others, "Perhaps we should give Gerhard and Nikita some time alone," she suggested.Valentina nodded and approached Arthfael, "I agree."Gerhard smiled and thanked them for the time they had given him. Finally, everyone else left, leaving Gerhard and Nikita alone to have their conversation, knowing that their time together might be running out soon.As time passed, Gerhard's breathing, which had become steady, now began to slow down again. Tears flowed down his cheeks. Nikita embraced Gerhard's face with her whole body, trying to comfort him."Nikita, thank you for everything. Thank you for being my friend," Gerhard said with a shaky voice.Nikita nodded, her tears unable to contain the sorrow in her heart. Yet, her lips formed a smile, as
The departure of Gerhard with Nikita, which happened some time ago, had left a deep sense of loss among several individuals, especially Neptunis, who had been together with them for decades. Due to the loneliness he felt, Neptunis even hesitated to return to his original place as the waterfall guardian monster. Instead, he preferred to stay at Gerhard's house, where he found thousands of memories of Gerhard that remained in the house.Today, Arthfael decided to visit Neptunis again, unsure of how many times he had done so already. After all, Neptunis was still a monster that required supervision, especially now that his human contract partner was no longer there. Arthfael's task was to keep an eye on Neptunis to ensure he wouldn't disturb any other humans who might pass by Gerhard's house."Arthfael!" Camilla suddenly called out as she stood in front of the lodging they were staying in.Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare, who were just about to leave the place, turned their heads upon he
As Arthfael took the letter from Neptunis, a mixture of emotions washed over him. Holding the letter in his hands felt like holding a piece of Gerhard's soul. It was a bittersweet moment, knowing that Gerhard was no longer around but still being able to connect with him through his heartfelt words.As Arthfael was about to open the letter, he suddenly paused and placed it back inside his pocket."What's wrong? Why don't you open it?" Valentina asked curiously about the contents of the letter."Is there something wrong?" Neptunis chimed in, equally curious as Arthfael decided not to read the letter.Arthfael glanced at Camilla, who had just returned from the kitchen and placed various dishes on the dining table. Seeing Camilla's presence, Arthfael quickly made an excuse, even though he actually wanted to prepare himself before reading the letter left by Gerhard."Let's eat first. I'm really hungry," he said, then promptly tucked the letter from Gerhard into his pants pocket.Valentina
