It's nearing twilight so the daytime duties of the soldiers assigned in the Northern borders of the Earth Kingdom are almost over.

They're having a good day, a peaceful day if the soldiers were to describe it. They're having fine weather and no issues with the Fire Kingdom, except their crown prince went out of their gates to go to the neighboring country. With Prince Ling setting forth towards the mentioned country, they got their hopes up and are looking forward to hearing good outcomes.

"Is that a meteor?" A soldier said while looking in the reddish-orange sky.

He noticed a huge ball of fire in a distance and he couldn't define what it is. It travels fast so he can't clearly see the said object.

"Where?" Another soldier asked him as he looks up, looking for what his comrade is talking about.

The first man who saw the unidentified object pointed at the sky.

Hearing this little conversation, Prince Jin looks up to where his subordinate is pointin

    Did you know? The Reverend Master wasn't the only God we used to worship. The god of all creation once has a wife. It was the Goddess named Alunsina. She's known to be cheerful, beautiful, artistic, loves pretty things, and most of all, one of the most powerful creatures of that time.Before being worshiped as a Goddess, Alunsina was the first air elemental shapeshifter to ascend into the highest court of the Reverend Master as that period's Air Deity. The Reverend Master, later on, fell in love with the beautiful Alunsina and so the Revered Master asked for her hand and married her.They lived happily. Unfortunately, things didn't end that way.The Reverend Master, as we have always known, is busy with his everyday duty as our creator. He continued to create living and non-living things. His duties do not limit to that. He's also dealing with matters no inferior of him could understand.On the other hand, Alunsin

Later on, one will get tired of following his heart and will eventually think that maybe, he'll just catch up to it later if he feels like it.They also say, "Chase your dreams." But no matter how one struggles, sometimes, it seems it's still out of reach. Impossible to achieve. There will be times that one will feel like not wanting to dream anymore.And what's the worst is that when one decided to follow his heart and chase his dreams and people got displeased.It's hard to make everyone happy. To do so, sometimes, one must give up his own.Before the Earth Immortal ascended into the throne, like everyone else, he was once a child.

    "Can't you do anything good for once?!"Prince Jin pushed his cousin, Prince Ling on the shoulder which made the latter lose his balance and fall on the cold hard floor. Although he didn't expect a good outcome from the crown prince, the second prince can't help but still feel annoyed. He thought that if this younger cousin of his couldn't convince the Fire Immortal to agree to the treaty, at least he could have prevented this nightmare. The Fire Kingdom, whose known to be very aggressive and number one in wars, just declared war on the peace-loving kingdom of the Eastern Lands.By the time Ling, Master Lian, Yang, and Aloisa arrived at the Earth Kingdom, soldiers from the Fire Kingdom are already on the verge of breaking into the Northern borders. Their gates and tall walls are attacked multiple times using catapults and mortars until they successfully turn them down. Horses and marching men in red armors invaded the territory of the Eastern Region. With swords and shie

    As young as twelve years old, the second prince of the Earth Kingdom, Prince Jin, has been repeatedly told by his father,"Your cousin, Prince Ling couldn't show his full potential using his spiritual powers for some complicated reasons. He only mainly relies on his physical strength. As his elder cousin, you should protect him when he gets into a pinch, okay?""Yes, father." The little Prince Jin obediently nods his head without asking any questions. All he knows is that his cousin is having trouble using his spiritual powers. As someone who doesn't have a problem with his flow of spiritual energy, as well as being the "elder" of the two, he got the feeling that protecting the crown prince from harm is his duty as the general's son.Well, Jin is technically older than Ling by more or less a month. Even though their age gap isn't that very notable, he still sees Ling as his younger brother. They were close. He always visits

    Thorny vines shoot upwards as fast as a single second, aiming for the agile flying enemy. Just a slight brush of these vines would result in a deep wound. However, the target is a lot faster than these sneaky florae.Meanwhile, the phoenix beautifully dances in the air and at the same time, dodges the charges that its opponent releases. Its long tail gracefully sways in its every turn despite its high speed. Truly a sight to admire but an annoying foe because its enemies' attacks always seem to be delayed by at least a split second."Why won't you show me your beautiful wings and fly with me? The breeze is so-"The Fire Immortal couldn't finish what he has to say when the Earth Immortal shoots another set of vines.Just by looking at these thorny creeping plants, the king of the Eastern Lands vividly shows that he is not in a friendly mood with the other. In fact, all this time, his majesty silently demonstrates that he has no intention of agreeing with the

  • Prince Charming is a Frog   XXIX. Prince Couldn't Care Less

    Those Alunsina's beads that were scattered in the night sky shine brightly alongside her beautiful crescent-shaped comb. If one will look at it, it seems it's exactly the same as the scenery that the night has to offer every after twilight. Unfortunately, the scenery that the land has to show isn't as peaceful as the quiet night but a chaotic scene instead. Crimson red blood drips from the brave men's blade, flowing all throughout to its sharp pointed tip down to the land of life. The bloodshed has begun. A war for the sake of peace... how ironic.There's fire wherever they turn. Residential houses burning, countless bodies of soldiers bathing in their own blood sprawling on the cold hard ground. Flowers stained by blood cries in silence together with the little floral spirits. Who would have thought that the land of the admirers of life that only wants peace and abundance would someday be showered with terror, hatred, and helplessness? Who would ha

    "His highness...!" Yang suddenly exclaimed while clutching his chest. His breathing seems to get strange too. It's as if he's having a hard time taking in some air. "I need to go to Prince Ling." The attendant hurriedly walks towards the doorway, planning to head out on the battlefield without a single weapon with him. It's almost like he has completely lost his mind and wants to be killed so bad."That wouldn't do." Princess Aloisa is quick to disagree. Even though she looks calm sitting on the wooden chair, she sternly forbids Yang to walk past through the door. "Ling told you to stay. He also asked me to have an eye on you." It's true that the crown prince personally asked Aloisa to look after Yang. For the first time, Ling is being polite to her and even begged her. How could her highness let him down?That makes her wonder, why is it that it seems she's being too involved with his matters? Isn't she here to see for herself if Ling deserves to die or not? Why does it

    "What is that for?" Aloisa asked as she looks up. "I sense a heavy amount of spiritual energy." She narrows her eyes and his eyebrows almost meet in the middle. "A dark one."Even though she's just an outsider, she can sense that this spiritual energy is not the same as the ones that the other earth elemental shapeshifters."His highness the crown prince set that up himself." Yang paused, trying not to cough in the close presence of her highness but he couldn't contain it. He coughed again. He wipes the edge of his lip that's stained by his strange blood with the back of his hand before he talked again, "I thought I felt not good but I never thought its this bad.""A frog can do this much?" It's unbelievable that a creature as small as a frog could store this much spiritual energy. And with quite the heavy pressure too. She may be able to release similar incantation but she's... let's say a not-so-small creature. But definitely not a horned shark-like what Ling as

    The next day... It's already five in the afternoon. The skies turn reddish-orange, an indication that the sun is going to rest for the day soon. And all day long, it's been a fair weather. It's almost as if the skies are rejoicing together with the cheerful people of the Air Kingdom on another day of celebration. Yes, these feathered creatures love celebration. In fact, they celebrate something almost every day! However, this event they are celebrating at the moment is different from any other usual parties they held in the past. It's the wedding ceremony of her highness, Princess Morrigan, and her "destined husband", Prince Ling of the Earth Kingdom. White flowers and white-colored silk dominated the entirety of the Air Kingdom. Whichever direction one looks, there is at least a bouquet or two. Even though they are far away from the land of life, the Eastern Regions, they're surprisingly able to provide fresh flowers this much. Aside from the fragrant flowers, t

    LVIX. Prince, Should You Give Up?

    "Your highness..." Ling calls Morrigan in a low and serious tone. "Yes, your highness?" The cheerful princess replies, waiting for what has Ling to say. And without any further ado, Ling attempts to open up the thing he has in mind, "Can I ask you something?" Princess Morrigan puffs a laugh, "You are already asking." Technically speaking, yes, Ling is already asking her when he asked if he could ask something. But from a more sensible point of view, it's just her highness, Princess Morrigan, messing up with this prince. But since Ling is the one who needs an answer from her, he played along. "Well... can I ask you for another?" And then the princess laughs again. This time, less restrained. Ling played along but he didn't play well. Morrigan said as she still suppresses her laughter, "You just asked your second question!" "You look so stupid right now," Aloisa commented before she took a bite of her food. Ling,

    LVIII. Prince Meets Eva Again II

    "I heard they also eat meat despite being so-called "lovers of life itself". Said the voice coming from behind.Out of reflex, they all turn around to see a maiden with strong facial features. She's not ugly, more like a beauty with fierce vibes. The wide grin on her lips shows her pair of sharp canine teeth. For some reason, it looks cute on her.This woman is no other than the next high priestess of the Fire Kingdom, Eva."Ah, really? Thanks for the information." Morrigan gives her a sweet smile just like she always does. But this sweet smile of her gradually dissipates the longer she stares at the face of this woman. She's quite sure this is the first time she sees her around here. Still, her highness politely asks the stranger, "I find your face somewhat... unfamiliar. Do you live around here?""Nope." Eva didn't even try to hide it. Instead, she seems proud of her rac

    The gang will be divided into two rooms. Yang and Ling will be together in one room while Aloisa and Lian will be staying together in the room next door.The skies are dark, the owls start to hoot, and the cicadas start releasing a ringing sound. In other words, the night is getting deeper. They should be sleeping now since they're tired from their travel but here they are, still wide awake. The four guests, together with their host, Princess Morrigan are gathered in one room. Their agenda: What should be done tomorrow? And; How exactly Morrigan should confess to her people? "Okay, so during breakfast, I am going to tell my parents first. And then if they love me enough, they'll help me tell the other air shapeshifters. Is that it?" Morrigan asks as she counts the things that should be done first thing in the morning using her fingers. Just thinking about it makes her want to be swallowed by the ground alive, never to appear on the surface again. She burst into frustratio

    While on their way to the guest quarters, Aloisa noticed something strange. She wants to disregard it but how can she ignore her goosebumps?They were currently taking a long corridor. Except for a series of huge windows on their left and doors on the right, the third princess of the Water Kingdom observed something in a series. A series of statues of a beautiful woman in every five meters. They are life-size sculptures with realistic features. Each one of these statues is very identical to each others. These sculptures have exquisite details. From her seemingly fluttering robes, the hair that looks like gently blown by a pleasant breeze, the realistic bird-like pair of beautiful wings.Sure, there's nothing wrong with the statues if one looks at it thoroughly... except if that one lives in the Water Kingdom's Palace. For twenty long years, Aloisa has been walking in and out of their palace. And so, she can't help but be bothered. These statues are very familiar to

    LIV. Prince, What Should Be Done?

    "Greetings your majesty." His highness, Prince Ling, politely greeted when they got to meet the king and queen of the Air Kingdom. So after Princess Morrigan's song number, they didn't waste any more of their time and headed towards the hall where the king and queen are. And as expected, they are very friendly creatures. Ling and the rest of the gang are welcomed warmly despite meeting them for the first time. They don't seem to be people that they should be warry of for they have no hint of sinister aura... unlike those of the fire shapeshifters. The queen, as always, wears a bright smile and gentle face, a typical motherly image. She looks so pleased the moment her eyes lay on Ling. "Oh my! Polite and very handsome. I approve. I am convinced that he really is the one you see in your visions, my dear child." Her majesty cheerfully said and even did an "ok" sign with her hand. Her daughter, Princess Morrigan, on the other hand, fakes a smile. She doesn't know wha

    "Congratulations, your highness!""Waaah, her highness is so lucky! I wish I'll find my other half soon too.""Her soon-to-be husband is quite good-looking. They are a good match!"The words of praises from the crowd could hardly be recognized. They all speak at the same time and with loud voices too. It's not surprising for their princess not to understand them. Even so, she still acts professionally. She still smiles at them and even waves her hand at times.Without them noticing, his highness Prince Ling, Yang, Master Lian, and Aloisa got swept off their feet. And before they realize it, they are pushed by the flow of the crowd in the main entrance of a huge castle.It must be the royal palace of this kingdom.Just like the Northern Lands, the Air Kingdom has some greeneries too. They even have trees and little parks in their public areas. It's not as green as the Earth Kingdom though. The Earth Kingdom looks like a huge garden while this kingdom looks very civi

    "Phew! Finally, we're here!" Ling wipes his forehead that's drenched with his sweat.Just as they reached their current location, they felt tiredness and pain in different parts of their body. Their feet hurt for walking such a great distance. Their exposed skin feels like burning for staying under the sun for so long. Their backs are aching too since they are carrying their own baggage on their backs. Well, except for Aloisa. She didn't bring any bag with her because she has an enchanted storage. It's her wide sleeves. She can put anything that fits on the opening of her sleeves. The stuff she dumps there is temporarily stored in a different dimension - the Abyss."Are you sure they'll be welcoming towards us?" Aloisa asked while staring at the gates of the Eastern Borders of the Air Kingdom.Apparently, Prince Ling and the gang arrived at the boundaries of the foreign country in the West. The distance between their departure point and where they are currently isn'
