“It is really you, Red… I’m happy that I’m able to see someone I know in this place.” Yume said and then give me her cherubic smile. “What are you doing in this place?” “Isn’t it supposed to be obvious… I’m here the same as everyone. I’m here to attend the festival of light. On the last day of the festival, people are making lanterns and making it flying to the sky together with their wishes. I want to try that and make my wish come true.” She is right, what’s the other reason she’s here? Most importantly I’m glad that she is looking fine. There is no sign of her having an injury from her last battle. I heard that many people died in the pacific port. It was wise of me not to discuss something about that event. I was surprised that I’m able to see her again. “Are you here with someone? Or are you lost again like the previous time? Your servant would be worried again.” I said. “I’m here with Koroko but I got washed away by the crowd of people. It is fine Koroko has a keen sense
“Idiot… Idiot… Idiot…” Kisara angrily muttered as they walked back home to their apartment. The blonde-haired girl beside her wants to say something, but she doesn’t have any experience with romantic relationships. All she can do is become Kisara’s company. The reason why Kisara is aggravated was that she happened to see Red and Princess Yume together. She knows for herself that he doesn’t have any right to be angry, because she and Red don’t have any romantic relationship. But something inside her chest suddenly tightens. Having them seen laughing with each other made her feel jealous. If she is being honest about her feelings. She wondered if she was the one together with Red during that time. I told him that he's not allowed to date anyone… But he still manages to have someone with him. Am I not enough? Am I not that pretty? I’m also a princess… Why is he not making a move on me? I’m giving him some hints that I already like him. Kisara thought. Kisara had her foot stomped on t
Born from darkness, from the depth of the earth. In a very cold place, my body was molded by clay. Clay is shaped into the figure of a woman. The lifeless body is gifted with life. The clay body started moving. Miracles are made. Walking with her two feet, hearing with her ears, feeling with her own skin, the first flavor she tasted with her tongue, the scene of a sweet flower, and lastly, with her very own eyes, she witnessed what the world looks like. Everything in this world is my debt to my father. He's my sole creator. Without him, I would be unable to experience these wonderful things. That’s why I pledge my loyalty and body to make him the happiest. Everything to me was his belongings. I’m nothing but a tool. But the wonderful world presented to me was taken away. After being a failure, I’m tossed back into the darkness. My body is unable to move. I could not see anything. I was fearful, I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t. I want to wail and beg. I couldn’t… Together with thou
“What are they doing inside the city?!” “The city was supposed to be protected by a magical barrier, right?” “Run!” “Go to the nearest evacuation center.” The residents are immediately put into a state of panic. They escaped as fast as they could. Unfortunately, a few residences are being taken by the demon kind and killed. Exterminators immediately deployed. Mercenaries in the crowd drew their weapons and joined the fight to defend the city. “Mommy! Mommy!” The little girl gets lost in the wave of panicking people. Crying out loud, searching for her mother. Wailing loudly, she attracted a demon kind to notice her. A 5 ft tall lizard demon appeared to her. Her face was filled with terror. She tried to run away but tripped because of her haste. Falling on the floor tile with a thud. “Urg…” She turned her eyes to her knee and saw blood spilling out. The lizard opened its mouth widely and threw its long tongue. “Not on the hero’s watch!!” A saber of light cut down the lizard's
My head still hurts along with my body. I still remember those knights beating me up after taking me captive. Currently, I am put in a cell with my body chained to the wall. My two artifacts were confiscated. I try to explain my side, but none of them believe me. They accused me of releasing the demon-kind on Artemis city's surface. As my wounds healed up with my ability. They made it solid proof that I was a demon-kind. I don’t even have any knowledge of why I smell like one. Are you fine? Choco speaks at my head again worriedly. “I’m fine… This is nothing. I’m not the same person as before. I’ll take this problem with a cool head and explain it over again." But no one believes your story. Why does such a cruel thing need to happen? This event must’ve reminded you of the past. I lowered my eyes and my head clouded with thoughts. I can’t believe that I was accused of a crime that I haven't done again. I wonder what my friends will think. Kisara and everyone. It has still been h
With the high priestess's order, I was freed from my chains. After a brief time of treatment and healing, I was invited to the headquarters to have a conversation with the high priestess. I had many questions on my mind. Like what does the knight of heaven even mean? Choco does say that I’m her knight, but I never further push her because it seems like a sensitive question and she is not ready to give me an answer. Kisara and Charlotte wanted to come along with me, but the high priestess insisted that she wanted to talk with me alone. Entering the headquarters chapel where she usually resides. She’s sitting on the chair commonly seen in the churches near the altar, her gaze fixed on the angelic statue. I bowed my head. “Like I said before… There is no need for formality. For starters, you could sit down here.” She tapped the seat beside her. I sat beside her awkwardly feeling a little uncomfortable. She is really nice and the one who saved my life. I was very grateful to her, bu
At the mountain where the skeleton of the dragon could be found. Princess Yume and her assistant Koroko are on their way away. At the last moment, Yume got a sense of a heavy feeling down on her chest. After the gust of wind blows back to Artemis city, she turned her head slightly looking back. Thinking, more accurately she was worried and anxious about what was going to happen to Red. Red farmed from the crime she committed brings favor for them and leads them on a path to get away. Koroko does feel relief at how things turned out. Merely thinking that Red was an unlucky one to be at that moment. “Red… Maybe, I can save him… If I unleashed more monsters right now.” Yume said. “Please don’t have to make one stupid thought princess… Unleashing the monsters will bring us trouble. The little information we got is enough. We can just plan again to steal the divine gem… The high priestess sure was weird. I’m sure she was shot in her head while praying last night, but for some reason, s
On the Inquisition knight headquarters. Sieg was the first commander of the first inquisition squad. The knight told to be the most powerful among all of the knights of the starry night has his knees down on the floor. There was a sweat sliding down his cheeks and anxiety could be seen. This display is rarely seen by the most respected knight. “This beyond my control my majesty… I didn’t know that Terra could do such a thing. To fix my wrong, I’ll go myself and kill Terra once again.” Sieg said clearly. He had a face full of determination. His fist clenched and veins popped out. he was clearly enraged by the fact that he failed his mission. To a serious person who takes everything personally. Sieg could not understand or accept that he was a failure. The king was upset at the news that one of the seven goddesses could be still alive. Upsetting because of Terra or Choco. Will went on her way to block the inquisition's plans. “The goddess of earth who rise the lands to create her
