Queen Venes saw Greraver sitting on a large rock in Teraus’ backyard. Greraver’s face turned upward. He was like welcoming the morning sun that fell on his handsome face.The wind blew slowly through the air. A peaceful morning as beautiful as the mood of Queen Venes. He was the Prince of the Vain Dominion kingdom that she had longed for. Queen Venes walked over to Greraver.“Even though I haven’t seen you for the past fifteen years. But I’m very sure you inherit everything that is in Destian.”Greraver turned his head and looked at his mother.“I haven’t reached the stage I should be. The kingdom is still under Zulniex’s rule.”“Destian must be very proud of your bravery.”“Do you know about the relationship between father and the heavenly king?”“You mean about your arranged marriage with Zesa?” Queen Venes smiled. “She’s a very pretty girl, isn’t she?” he continued.“She comes from the kingdom of heaven. Of course, Zesa is a beautiful girl. King Athalla Warias knows many things abo
“The suffering of the people of Vain Dominion must end soon. How can I reach the next level of power quickly?” Greraver’s eyes shone with ambition while he looked at Teraus.“That level of power can only be attained through time and process, Prince. Only humans with two souls like you are required to break through that level. If you don’t succeed, then someday, the Wendigo will completely possess you. You will lose yourself.” replied Teraus.“You mean the Wendigo is the one who’s going to set me up? He will control when I can become human?”“That’s right. You could say the Wendigo is actually alive and you’re trapped in your own body.”“That can’t be happening! I’ve come so far!” Greraver growled.Queen Venes had been standing around and listening to their conversation. She looked at Greraver with a proud look. Her belief in the Prince’s resurrection has been proven. The ambition she saw in Greraver was precisely the same as the ambition she had seen in Destian.During her time as Que
“I’ve never heard of black and white witches,” Dielh muttered.He was busy preparing supplies for their trip. Once Greraver said they would head to the valley of the white magicians, Dielh immediately agreed. He had already promised to accompany Greraver wherever the Prince went.Since they left the palace, Dielh felt more and more excited. New experiences and adventures were always a challenge for him.“You never heard of it? So, in life, what do you hear?” said Graver cynically.“Hey! I was raised by a War General. My father trained me to take his place. He trained me how to fight, take up arms and win fights. I haven’t had a chance to learn anything about power and magic and I’m stranded here with a prince.”“Such power is important for us to have. Teraus’ explanation, Darius and my mother, has made me realize that our enemy is not just another kingdom. Every kingdom and people who have ambition they will have supporters behind it. A power that only fighting and weapons will not wi
“Zesa,” said Greraver.Everyone already knew the relationship between Zesa and Greraver. They smiled knowingly when Zesa appeared. The princess of the Siarya kingdom looked very beautiful and glittered in the sun. Incomparable celestial beauty. With blue clothes hanging down to the ground, Seza looked at Greraver with deep eyes.“I coma to pick up Queen Venes to the kingdom of Siarya Heaven. Until you take back Bright River, Queen Venes will stay with me.”“Is your kingdom safe for humans to live in?”“You’ve been there before, right? Now you are alive and well.”“I mean, my mom might be staying there a long time. Will she be able to adapt? Siarya is no ordinary kingdom.”“When I have offered, then I will prepare everything. I will kae all easy for Queen Venes. You need not worry, Prince. After all, the Queen of Venes was a tough woman. She will be fine with us.”Greraver turned his gaze to Queen Venes. Seza felt that Greraver was ignoring her, so she shifted her position to the side
“Stay away, Silvia!” shouted Dielh.“Come on, let’s move closer to the valley wall. Those Wendigos started catching those big birds and throwing them in all directions,” Silvia said as she ran towards one of the valley walls.“The Wendigo is huge. Much bigger than the last time I saw her.”“It must be because of the training and control level one he has passed.”“You are right. It must be because of that. The change in Greraver brought about the change in the Wendigo too.”Just as they had expected, Greraver turned into a Wendigo. After a long time, finally, Dielh could see the monster in front of him again. Dielh wasn’t worried this time because he knew that Greraver had already mastered the Wendigo. He would not harm Dielh or Silvia. The Wendigo was under Greraver’s control to choose who he should attack.The Wendigo roared like a monster. Some of the birds looked a little away in surprise at the sound of the Wendigo’s roar. Coupled with the echo of the roaring Wendigo off the valle
“I am not a child of Teraus. He has saved me from death,” Silvia replied.“Are you from this world or from another world? I have never seen such a beautiful fire Pheonix.” Praised Dielh.“Of course I come from this world. Hundreds of years ago, my people had their own plains to live on. Safe and peaceful life. That place was a lush green valley. Lots of fruits and flowers. The fish swam happily in the water. Then something happened.”Dielh and Greraver saw Silvia blush. She held back tears at the memory of that sadness. A fire phoenix as mighty as Silvia certainly didn’t want to appear weak from crying. Her quivering lips and distant eyes explained all of Silvia’s feelings.“The King of the seventh heaven wants us to be their army. Phoenix is actually a gentle bird. We have colorful fur and don’t like to fight. For us, the most important thing is beauty and speed. The arrival of the King of the seventh heaven has turned us all into fire phoenix.”“You don’t fight him?” asked Dielh.“T
“I didn’t think about meeting the seventh heaven king. He is such a cruel person. He didn’t leave a single phoenix alive. Adult and little phoenix all were brutally slaughtered. Their screams of acceptance of death still ring clear in my ears today.” Silvia finished her sentence and stood up.Her heart trembled whenever she remembered the day she lost her clan and family. She prepared to climb up the valley wall and continue on their way. Dielh and Greraver watched as Silvia’s back started to move away. They were sure that the girl must be holding back her tears. Silvia didn’t want Greraver or Dielh to see her cry.She was a fire phoenix girl. Teraus also trained her to become a knight girl. Greraver’s and Dielh’s views of Silvia changed significantly. Silvia was no longer the sweet girl who was good at cooking. She was a fearless fighter and survivalist.Greraver felt both pity and anger at Silvia’s story.“Silvia! Until when are you going to hide? Today you have shown your fire Phoe
“Snow?” Silvia muttered.“How can the snowy plains exist in this place?” asked Dielh.After the three reached the upper limit of the abyss, they fell silent in awe of what they saw. A puzzling surprise. At first, they thought they would arrive in hot, dry, sandy plains. The guess was because of the valley they had just crossed.Silvia looked back. She wanted to compare the valley they were walking through. She couldn’t see anything there anymore. The valley they had just passed around and fought there had disappeared.“The valley is gone. Look, in front of us and behind us is a sea of snow,” Silvia said.Greraver and Dielh turned their heads together. Silvia was right. The valley was gone. They were in the middle of a sea of snow. They were like three black ants trapped in the middle of a vast expanse of snow.“How could it be? It’s like a trap,” said Greraver.Hearing Greraver’s words, Silvia and Dielh immediately became alert. The three of them stood alert and pressed their backs ag
