In a remote park of Heirbell town.
I sat down on the corner of the fountain.
I still can’t believe that Taki is already gone. Not just Taki but the whole country of Amethyst.
Unable to control my magic, I end up slicing the whole floating country. Many people died, including Taki. I’m not sure if it's my fault or not.
Maybe, Taki is still alive… Maybe, I still can help her.
This thought keeps on whirling in my head.
The witch queen has tremendous magic. There’s a chance that she can bring back Taki on her usual self.
“Stop blaming yourself…”
Yumi appeared in front of me standing with two ice cream in her hands.
She sat down beside me and give me the ice cream.
“It's really cold… I hope it cools down your head from overthinking things. Ren already told us. That parasite demon already killed Taki. On that day, we have no choice but to fight. Or else, we’re the one who's going to die.”
“Just what is
Inside a house on Hierbell town.Encircle in the dining room was Laura and everyone who survived in Amethyst. Night Alliance is also on the back.“Everyone looks serious.”I muttered.“This is the first time we’re seeing the face of the master whose giving us order since the bight alliance is founded. We’re curious about her face.”Lei Mei said whose sitting beside Laura. Yumi pushed her away.“That’s my position!”Shia kicks Yumi’s body and makes her fall from the chair.“Nope, that’s my position… I’m the one who wanted to take care of Laura forever.”Is that a confession? I don’t want to think about it.The one seating to my other side is Yuri and she has a menacing aura on her. Looks like Yumi, Lei Mei, and Shia didn’t want to disturb her.Yuri turned her sharp red pupils on me.‘What is it
After that night, I didn’t get a wink of sleep. Everyone started training themselves for the culling game.I planned to go with Yumi. She is with her big sister Yuri training in the nearby mountain.I swing my sword alone in the forest and defeat wolf monstersThis wolf monster takes me back.This looks like the same monster that attacked me when I started my journey.“Oh, this forest… I almost forgot about it. This forest is near to Master Koyuki’s place.”Brimming with a smile I run.It's been a long time since I saw her. This is the right time to visit her again.In the deep woods, I saw the wooden house and two girls playing with a ball.“Nonon! Yaya!”I called and waved my hands.They turned their faces with a big smile and run in my direction.They both jump on my hands and I hug them tightly.“Big sis Laura!”“You came
“I'm sorry for scaring the four of you earlier. I don’t have any intention of hurting anyone.”The king explained to the four knights while they are walking to the garden.“I wonder how this flower can live in freezing temperature?”“It’s special flowers that already adopted in the icy weather of this kingdom. Its seeds we find when we venture in the dungeon that appeared in the border between dark territory and our kingdom.”Karyll look at the king strangely and whispered to Luna.“What is this man scheming? I can’t understand him very well…”“I’m on the same page.”Despite the four knights looking at the king with their suspicious eyes. The king never released bloodlust or killing intent toward them. That’s the same to the moment, a sword was pointed at them.The words the king said must be true and he has no intention of lying.
Time goes back on its normal flow. I learned many things from my past. Me being a princess and what happened to the kingdom and my parents. While I was there, I remembered the white-haired woman I face before in Everfloria mountain. I shed tears and muttered. “That’s my true mother…” “You met your mother?” “Un… I saw her and battled her before. She didn’t recognize me because of my current light brown hair.” “Her name is Astra… Your real name came from her that Stella means star. After learning part of your past. What are you planning to do Laura?” Honestly, I don’t have a single idea… Master Karyll also became hostile for some reason. She became an enemy and now I have to participate in the Culling game. “Master Koyuki tries to kill me before.” I muttered. Koyuki was alarmed after hearing me. She looks away with a flustered face. It's like she wanted to forget what happened in the
“Light magic: Light impact!” Mayu chanted. A beam of light flew toward Karyll. Resulting in her head being holed. Her right eyes are non-existent and the blood was spraying out of her body. Even still, Karyll was smiling calmly. I expected karyll to be a tough opponent considering all the praise and rumors around her, but this is disgusting. I can still feel her life presence and magic. When somebody died. The magical energy of the dead must fade away. Something different is going on. Mayu fritted her teeth and angry swing her sword. Each swing released a beam of light that continuously holed Karyll’s body. The brutal light beam even pierced the army of undead behind Karyll. The same goes with the terrain. The earth rented and mountains around were destroyed. “... Did I defeat her?” Mayu asked and chased her breath. “Nope, I can still feel her magic…” After Mayu stopped attacking.
I opened my eyes.I saw the same familiar surrounding. I seat on my bed and make a big yawn.The two beds next to mine were already fixed. It's odd because they are the type of girls who didn’t fix their beds.It's theweekend today.TakiandYumimust beout training or doing something.As I exit the room. I saw Chloe in the kitchen cooking.“Good morning Laura…”“Good morning Chloe…”“Shades on your eye’s gotten bigger. Seems like you didn’t get enough sleep.”As far as I remember. I sleep early last night. But for some reason, my body feels extremely tired. My energy is at its lowest level. Or maybe it's just mymotivationon moving that’s in lowest today.I washed my face and look in the mirror.Iwas shocked bywhat I saw.My hair is white and my eyes were golden.Why did I
“I’ve been expecting to see you here, Laura.”What did she mean by expecting? It seems like she knows me.“Are you Yuri from Night Alliance?”“Night Alliance… It takes me back, but that organization doesn’t exist in this new world.”“It means, you’re like me… What do you mean by new world?”“You wake up today… Today is the exact day. You and Karyll fight. Just look upon the sky the ashen snow started falling… The new world just means a new world. The previous world has destroyed the same with that timeline. Things changes including the history of past events.”That explains everything. The moment I woke up this morning and how the people around me are different from what they used to be.According to Yumi… She has no sister.I started to get confused.“Stop thinking too much Laura… Everyone is pre
“Laura are you sure about your decision?” Chloe look at me with such a worried expression. Taki and Yumi whose standing beside her are shedding tears non-stop. “Sob… Sob… Be careful Laura.” Yumi leaped on me and hug me tightly. “Laura! Are you sure you’re going to leave me to Taki?!” “What do you mean by that?!” “I guess, you two should stop being mean to each other. I will come to visit when I feel like it.” I said that because I don’t know the exact day I’m visiting. I better said the truth than to make them wait for me. Five years have passed, I’m currently 17 years old. My hair is longer and I became taller. My previous petite body can’t be seen anymore. Chloe looks straight into my eyes. “Time flies… My little Laura grows up pretty and powerful. I still remember the time Laura can’t sleep because she was afraid of darkness… Wait! I started to make baby jokes… I’m growing old!” “Nope, Chloe i
