Going back to Amethyst city, I immediately advance to the hospital to check on Chrome’s condition.
“Chrome is gone?”
I go to the receptionist and asked about Chrome. They answer me with a smile and told me that she is fine. The curse has been lifted.
Hearing that makes me feel glad. By just using her words The queen of witches was able to lift Chrome’s curse. She is really that powerful. I should thank her for the next time I saw her.
Still, Chrome goes away without saying anything to me is weird. She came here to save me, I should at least say a decent goodbye if I know she is leaving.
“I wonder where she goes?”
There is a possibility that she came back in the future. Maybe, there is a limitation to her time magic. Her time runs out and leaves without saying anything to me.
I was in stressing so much. The truth that I’m able to see her will never change. Like Kaoru told me before. Some things are uncontrollable. I’m not
?!
“It's already snowing… That means winter is coming. The land is covered with fluffy snow.” Taki gets snow on her hands. “So cold… Laura… Yumi… There is so much snow everywhere... Let's have a snowball fight. Since I’m the strongest maybe both of you should team up to defeat me.” Taki with a snowball in her hand throws it to Laura. … But in reality… Taki blasted Laura with a magical beam and destroy the house. “Taki… *sob* Are we…*sob* really… *sob* fighting?” Laura cried and shook her head left and right. Grim expression and horrors are all over her. Taki swings her swords toward Laura and it is defended by Yumi. Just like Laura, Yumi is shedding tears when comes face to face with Taki. Despite being in a quarrel with Taki almost every day. They became a very close friend with each other. “I can’t believe that you’re defeated by a lowly demon! Taki! If you’re still there wake up! Please wake
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
