Chereads / CHOSEN STAR / Chapter 13 - CHAPTER 13: THE HIDDEN DESIRE (NEW EDITION)

Chapter 13 - CHAPTER 13: THE HIDDEN DESIRE (NEW EDITION)

In the city of NANEKI, which has an outer layer of rock, a mountainous wall that, inside, has only one path that leads along a long passageway, you reach the city of NANEKI, within which there is a huge dragon-shaped rock head.

This is the entrance to the castle that lies inside.

With this unique passageway, you reach the castle, everything else is surrounded by a cliff.

The sunlight doesn't come in here.

On the perimeter of the center of this majestic castle, in one of the rooms, extremely wide and dark, is a glass sphere, at its base there is a dim light, inside there is water, in the center a flower and within it a beautiful woman who emanates the source of that light, seems to be praying.

The woman has her long, straight, pink hair, which waves into the movement of the water, her eyes are amber and in her gaze reflects tiredness and deep sadness.

This is PRINCESS SATORI, the councilor of UNDERWORLD.

In front of her, the figure of a man in the shadows appears out of nowhere, he is AISU.

Strong but stylized body, tall, thin and reddish hair like fire, blue eyes.

He wears a black robe with red details, has a beautiful, manly voice.

That man approaches a little in the midst of the silence that his footsteps are heard.

He addresses SATORI, tells him that he should not waste his time in continuing to pray, the fate of this world a long time ago has already been written.

This comment adds sadness to SATORI.

AISU, softening her voice a little, speaking fondly to her, tells her that if she yields to her will, if she accepts her love, she offers her day by day, for a thousand years now.

She'll be free.

SATORI questions that freedom.

He calls it freedom to let UNDERWORLD die.

ISSA asks her to abandon this idea of saving this world, now that the castle has fallen, (the beautiful woman is very distressed) her tears have been lost... them, after much searching... they managed to find the CHOSEN clan and destroyed it.

SATORI's tears flood your eyes.

AISU looks sorry, it hurts to see her cry, just asks her to please think about her offer, this agony has not been just for her.

Hurt, he asks SATORI why does he keep rejecting it?

Do you hate him so much?

She replies that she will not lose hope because her beloved INFRAMUNDO still has a chance.

AISU shows his fury with tears falling down his cheeks, cleaning his tears, an idea is reflected in him. He laughs with laughter, and asks what, if it's for the CHOSEN? she won't last long alive as she was seriously injured, in fact, she may have died days ago, if she wasn't, her whole army is looking for her.

SATORI is distraught, asks AISU to stop all this... time runs out and... with him, everyone's life.

This renews the malaise of ISSA, which declares that every living being who has been corrupted also seeks the CHOSEN and when they see it they will kill it, as soon as he has the secrets of CHOSEN, his world will end and so she can be free at last.

She confesses that far from hating him she loves him deeply but that everything should not be so, that his happiness would be impossible if he had to sacrifice the world to do so.

He shows his displeasure and begins to turn away from her in the dark.

She tells you why?

Why did you do all that? (crying)

Why did you turn away from her?

Why are you still with your plans?

He retreats into darkness as he tells her that was his (her) decision and she gets a lump in her throat.

She: I... I had no choice... AISU... and weeps with great sadness.
