Part 1 "Forbidden Boundaries"
"What exactly is a Druid...?" one day the question arose in me. I've heard stories about druids. Unlike humans who have great magic powers where the Druids have unlimited energy or magic power, but nothing more than that. Therefore, I still don't know what exactly these Druids are, where they live, how they live and so on. The knowledge of the Druids was unknown to anyone, at least that's what my father told me because he didn't know it either. "Hmm... again daydreaming..." A little voice that sounded from my side. "Oh, Enity since when are you here?" I asked in a tone that was actually quite upsetting. "...." and "...." We both fell silent a while ago and I ruined the atmosphere with "ok, forgive your brother..." Later, I tell Enity something, "what if tomorrow, we explore the forest? We don't have training tomorrow!" enthusiastically and Enity's glowing eyes replied "yes, yes, I'm coming!" But, in my heart I said "ah, how easy it is to take my sister's attention..." The next day we set off via our secret passageway, because although there was no training, the children were forbidden to leave the royal area. If our father knew this, we couldn't get away with it like we did back then. We reached a forest with very dense trees until the daytime sun was hard to penetrate. In the woods, we found many things we had never seen in our lives. There are very large flowers which eat the animals or trees around it, there are waterfalls whose water goes up, four-legged snakes, lions with human-like faces, monkeys with fox tails and vice versa, trees with colorful flowers, and so on. Surprisingly, Enity doesn't feel scared at all because I think women let alone children don't like seeing things like this. "Because you're here, so I don't have to be afraid!" she said after I questioned my astonishment. All the things we found, there was only one thing that we found surprisingly concerning that in the middle of the forest there was a large empty altar in gray. The altar had a unique design that we had never seen before. The altar is shaped like a multi-storey cone arranged in seven levels and on top of it is an empty table. "Hmmm....ok, it feels like we've been exploring the whole forest, fun?" I asked crouching down and staring at Enity. "Hmmm....a lot of scary and strange things, especially this altar, but because there are big brothers so much fun!" Enity smiled again. "Is that what it is? Good, now let's go home" while I hold Enity's hand and we go home together. While on the way home, something strange happened. We were shrouded in a thick fog. English translation. We walked carefully until a few moments passed, "Enity, don't be afraid brother is here..... Enity, what's going on? Enity!" Enity disappeared even though I was holding his hand. "Enity, where are you!!!" I yelled a few times in a loud voice. I searched for Enity around me even though there was a very thick fog but couldn't find her. "Enity, where are you..." After a while, I decided to run ahead. I don't know how many minutes or how many hours have passed, but I still haven't found Enity. Unknowingly, I've returned to a place where there's a seven-story altar with an empty table at the top. Then I heard the sound of "GYAAAAA!!!!" I know this voice, this is Enity's. "Enity! Where are you??" I responded by yelling, too, but I got no reply. I decided to look for Enity around the altar area. A few moments passed, I found Enity under a tree covering his head like he was scared. I was surprised when I saw few feet in front of Enity there were three purple wolves with bright red eyes. My body moves by itself and goes straight to the front of Enity, "STAY AWAY! DON'T TOUCH MY SISTER!" I attacked that group of wolves with a fireball, but the wolf group wasn't hurt at all. "There's no way... It's at my full power..." I didn't know how my face looked when I saw this. I see also Enity behind me has lost consciousness. I looked back at that bunch of wolves, and my whole body shook in fear. In my heart, I said that "I will protect Enity... no matter what!" Suddenly the fog enveloped my vision turned to darkness. After that, I don't remember anything that happened.
Part 2 "Crossing with the World's Mystery"
I woke up and saw that I was in a strange-looking meadow. I was surprised when I saw the grasses that were there were rainbow-colored. "What is this place...?" The place is not very spacious, it looks only as big as a small lake. As far as the view is, I just saw that rainbow meadow with the aurora wall in the end. I tried to walk to the aurora wall, I tried to touch the wall and it was impassable. I was surprised by the color of the grass in that space, but I was more surprised by what was behind the aurora wall. "... Hah? Is this a dream?" I'm like looking at another world where there are an awful lot of winged, tailed little creatures. I've also seen rainbow-colored waterfalls and rivers, tree-like but moving creatures, giant luminous and moving rock creatures, transparent birds, and many other things that are alien to the human world. I don't remember what happened before I got to that rainbow meadow and how I got to that place. I heard a big footing from behind me. I turned my back and found a giant luminous stone creature approaching me. Later, he spoke in a heavy voice "oh, you're the man Vermillione intended... You're awake." I still don't understand the current situation, "Vermillione? What the hell is going on? Where am I? How did I get here?" The creature replies with a chilling impression, "hm, it's only natural that if you pass through that place, you will definitely lose some memory..." I got more and more confused after he said that. "All right, come with me!" It asked me to follow him, and I had to follow him. He took me to a place shaped like a garden with one little house in the middle of it, of course it contained beautiful strange flowers and rainbow-colored grasses. There I saw a female figure, probably a very beautiful girl. The girl had long golden blonde hair touching the ground, eyes that sparkled like diamonds and there was some kind of pair of bird wings from part of her ear, I thought maybe it was an accessory or something. The girl didn't wear any footwear and approached me, and that's when I realized the creature that was driving me was gone. "You're looking for Stav? He's back taking care of the waterfall... But, how long has it been since I last saw a human being? Maybe 400 years..." His voice is as soft as a sleeping chant. His eyes stared directly into my eyes with seriousness but also full of tenderness. "400 years? You don't look that old...." The girl smiled and "oh is that it? More surprisingly, I can't believe two children who are only 10 years old and 8 years old can get through Fenemona and get to this place..." English translation. That sentence reminded me of something, "uh... Hah? Enity, what's going on? Where's Enity? Where's my brother? I lost her in the thick fog and haven't found her yet... where is she?" I frantically asked the girl by holding her arms. "Take it easy, she's playing with one of my best friends over there" the girl replied, pointing in one direction. There I saw Enity in a chase with a giant luminous stone creature. Wait a minute, I feel familiar with that creature...."AAAH! That's the thing! How can she play with Enity???" I immediately ran to them leaving the girl. "ENITY!!! ENITY!!!" I yelled at Enity and she realized, "Brother? Brother!!! BROTHER!!!" He ran to me, and we finally met again. "ENITY!" "BIG BROTHER!" We hugged each other, "Forgive your brother, for not being able to protect you properly..." "I'm sorry too brother, Enity can't take good care of herself and make you worry..." I'm so glad to see Enity again, "the most important thing is that you're safe, and I promise you that if you disappear again, you'll find you and find you wherever you are!" "He he he, thank you brother, that is a promise yes!" "Yes, brother promised..." At that moment a promise and a new bond formed between me and Enity. Then, I was like, "Oh yes, Enity, why are you playing with this thing? He's cold-hearted, doesn't care about his surroundings!" "I'm going to have to ask you What are you talking about? Scarx is good, loves to play, he takes care of flowers here too!" That's where I realized and remembered something, "You looking for Stav? He's back taking care of the waterfall..." "Scarx is good... he also takes care of the flowers here too!" Later, I finally understood that the creature that was playing with Enity wasn't the one that brought me to this place. "Hi, I'm Scarx... So you're Enity's older brother, huh? You're a good brother, Enity is so lucky to have a brother like you!" It sounds light unlike Stav's, "uhm, you're Scarx and then who's Stav?" Later, Scarx replied "oh Stav, he's my brother, he's in charge of the waterfalls and parks around him, I'm on duty in this park." "Oh, that's it, huh? I'm sorry I mis-guessed..." I bowed my head to Scarx, "eh? It's okay, because we look alike so others often misunderstands us hehe." *chak* *chak* *chak* "It's good that you've met again..." A very soft voice. "Ah, Queen Vermillione, are you done with your time off?" "Scarx, I told you there's no need to call me queen if there's no one else here..." "Yes, sorry Vermillione..." That girl is the queen? Vermillione? It's a name Stav mentioned before. The wind blows to make her long hair move in the direction of the wind away, Vermillione puts the palm of her right hand on her chest, looks at me with smiles and says, "greetings, my name is Vermillione the 3rd queen of Druid."
Part 3 "Farewell Beloved"
English translation. I fell silent for a few seconds after hearing the introduction of the beautiful blonde girl. "Vermillione....?" I make a small voice with a sense of comfort. I don't understand this feeling, I feel like I've met the girl but when I heard the name 'Vermillione', I still didn't know her. However, when I realized that the beautiful girl was the new Vermillione the feeling came up. "Hm? Is there something on my face?" asked Vermillione as she looked me in the eye. For some time, Enity played along with Scarx and Stav. In the meantime, I'm talking to Vermillione. I was thinking of knowing the identity or the basis of the feelings I got when I found out Vermillione. Vermillione opens the conversation with a question, "can you tell me how you got past Fenemona and into this place?" Upon hearing the question, my hands shook until Vermillione could be identified. Vermillione looked at my hands and put both hands on them. At that very moment, I immediately felt calm. Next, I told Vermillione everything that happened. "Hm, so yes....well the important thing is you survived" After saying that, Vermillione seems to be thinking of something. Vermillione went on to say, "Tell me about your family..." I told Vermillione about our family and up to our mother's story, I was stopped and confused to tell it. However, I kept telling Vermillione about our mother. Vermillione looked sad when she heard about our mother. "Because of our mother, and the hope she left with me, I can protect Enity and make her smile now..." I lifted my head looking at Vermillione and saw her tear up. "Eh??? What's going on??? What are you doing, Vermillione?" After that, Scarx and Stav came looking at me sharply. "What have you done to our queen, man?" asked the two of them at the same time. Next, Enity came up to me and said "sister makes girl cry!" Here I feel trapped with the three of them and there is no way out. Some time passed, "I'm sorry, I suddenly cried and troubled you..." At that time, I felt like my body was no longer moveable because Scarx, Stav and Enity had been lecturing for quite a while. "Why are you crying?" I asked Vermillione. "...." there is no answer from his mouth, but only a smile that appears followed by the wind that blows the leaves and flowers of the astral world. "It's time for you to go home..." Vermillione said. English translation. "Yes, I don't want to worry our father and anyone else either." Vermillione goes to Scarx and Stav who plays alongside Enity. Enity ran up to me and hugged me and said, "are we going home now?" I responded to Enity, "yes Enity, you and the others can worry that we're not going home soon... You're done playing, right?" Enity then replied, "of course brother!" Then I became smiling, "well then..." Behind us there was something resembling an open fog and we saw our home in the kingdom. We turned around to see Vermillione, Scarx and Stav waving their arms and saying goodbye to us. In the end, I couldn't figure out the identity of the feelings I got when I found out Vermillione. Before the fog closed, I could see Vermillione open her mouth like she was saying something to herself and after that the fog was closed. "They're gone, Vermillione..." scarx said, "are you sure you let them go?" said Stav, "that's okay, especially is Enral still remembering and keeping that promise... I'm glad to hear that, after this it's just up to both of them as brothers." replied Vermillione with a smile and satisfaction in her. Enity and I got home to meet dad, and of course we were long- lectured by him because we didn't come home for long enough. With this, I get a long lecture twice in just half a day. It was a great day for me as well as Enity, but it was also an unpleasant day for two other children.
Part 4 "The Beginning of Despair"
Lokiy and Tohr are my best friends and Enity. The four of us used to play together, skip training classes together and go on adventures together. When Enity and I came home from the woods, I realized that dad and someone else were hiding something and didn't want to tell us both. I do not know what is hidden until a week passes, father will come out of the kingdom to meet king Odiyn of Rahi kingdom and also is the father of Lokiy and Tohr. Enity and I used this opportunity to visit Rahi's kingdom. At the same time, Enity wants to meet with Lokiy and Tohr to recount the adventures of the two of us on another world meeting Vermillione, Scarx and Stav. Of course, we still need to get out without anyone knowing. Dad strengthened the guard in the palace so that we needed more effort in order to get out of the palace and into Rahi kingdom. "We did it, brother!" Enity says happily. I responded, "Yes Enity, now we are going to rahi kingdom." Enity smiled and was seen in his eyes, an aura full of enthusiasm. "Let's see what secrets you hide from us, Father..." I speak slowly like I'm whispering. "Hm? Did you say something?" asked Enity, hearing a small voice from my mouth. "Hm? Nothing, Enity..." I said while putting my hands on Enity's head. We went to Rahi kingdom which is very far from Khai kingdom. We came to Rahi kingdom and saw things we didn't expect. We saw the kingdom was empty, there were no people along the way, no royal soldiers or people selling, the kingdom was deserted until only the wind blew. "What's going on here? What happens while we're in that world?" I asked with confusion. The first thing I really thought about was finding Lokiy and Tohr, but my body couldn't move forward and wanted to get out of there. Therefore, I immediately held Enity's hand tightly and immediately fled the kingdom of Rahi back to our residence in Khai kingdom. I ran away not because of the absence of any one person or because there was no sign of life. However, I felt something else in that place. I felt something draw my soul in and if I followed it, I would definitely never be able to come back. While running from Rahi kingdom, Enity kept asking in a loud voice "brother why? What's going on?" I just gave a silent response to Enity, because I also myself didn't understand what was happening. Arriving at the palace door, we met one of the royal servants named Darga. Darga was a very loyal servant of the kingdom to his father and to the whole kingdom. "Young master and princess, why are you outside? What's going on?" asked Darga with a slight panic. "huff that huff... Kingdom... Rahi, what's going on? the people...*huff* DISAPPEARED!" I said with an unnatural breath as it ran from Rahi kingdom to Khai kingdom very far away. "...you finally figure it out," Darga said in a disillusioned tone. "All right, young lady and princess, you sit there first and I'll bring you some milk....after that I'll tell you everything. Me and Enity sat in the seats and waited exhausted after running for a very long distance. I was also surprised that I was able to run during and that far without falling, but on the other hand Enity looks very tired compared to me. Darga brought warm milk to me and Enity and we drank it slowly. Darga was sitting next to us and was ready to tell us something that had been kept secret. Darga told us, the events that occurred after me and Enity came out of the kingdom and explored the forest. Darga said khai's government did not know fully what happened, because it happened suddenly. "Your father and I were talking in his room watching Rahi's kingdom from a distance, and suddenly we heard a big rumble... We saw that thing... a creature whose name is actually taboo to pronounce" said Darga with a weak voice. "That thing? Taboo? What are you talking about, Darga?" I asked Darga curiously. English translation. "........." Darga was silent for a long time and said, "Gradiora... mythological creatures born of Purgatory." I felt a heavy atmosphere when I heard the name, "Gradiora? Purgatory?" Furthermore Darga said, "Gradiora is a creature that has a lion-like body, a snake-shaped tail with three dragon heads and eagle wings, some people in ancient times referred to it as the King of Chimera. Purgatory is the outermost part of hell and is the entrance to the inside of hell, and Gradiora is one of the few beings standing guard at the entrance to hell." Enity, who had been silent, finally said, "Darga, what happened to Lokiy and Tohr?" We came to Rahi's kingdom and found no signs of life, but the strange thing is that no houses or properties were destroyed. "You must also ask why no buildings were destroyed but there was no sign of people's lives... The answer is Gradiora is not a destructive creature but he takes all the power of life and takes it to Purgatory. Your father and I quickly made their way to Rahi's kingdom, but it was too late..." After hearing Darga's story, I remembered dad, "what about you? Where's he going? He said he wanted to see Odiyn! Don't tell me what he means...." Darga ducked down and didn't make eye contact with us, it showed that Darga knew the purpose of dad's journey out from the kingdom. "This is the limit of things I can tell you," Darga said and immediately left us. Now me and Enity realized that something bad was going on and dad would have wanted to do something about it all by himself.
