The sword was being put beside her while sitting in a luxury chair. She was in a splendor restaurant and the food and one pitcher of water at her front were prepared by her from the kitchen. The surroundings were so messy and blood was scattered everywhere and the dead bodies are being piled up by her earlier at the right side. The smell was so disgusting but she was hungry and dehydrated so she doesn't care about it. But before taking big morsels, she first drinks a lot of water in rush didn't care if she will going to be wet. Finally, her stomach was getting full little by little in a hurry.
She leans while holding her stomach with her left hand. Feeling relieved and strength came back again. After about five minutes, she stood up then stretched upwards her arms. She put back the piece of fabric in her nose, being coiled there. She picked up the sword and near the layering dead bodies.
Eyes are open in some of them, showing dreadful emotion. She sighed then bows her head for once. This was not right, the King was wasting lives. He cannot rule if there was nothing to rule. But does he ever think about it? Or he does but never really cares for he had his aspiration.
'Fontana... Fontana...'
"Not now Sakar. I don't wanna talk."
There was something that catches her attention. It was scintillating in a color of silver. She near it and noticed that it was a necklace with a pendant of a heart from a dead lady. She slowly near her right hand at the dead's neck then grabbed the necklace with all of her force until it splits into two but she holds tightly the pendant.
She slowly opens her hand then saw this attractive thing. She examined it and noticed a line at the side of this pendant and tries to open it. When she successfully opens it she saw two pictures. A young boy at the left then a beautiful lady at the right. She looks at the owner of this thing and brings back again her sight to the picture of the lady. She was the mom of one handsome boy. Her eyes started to bleak.
She slowly near her hand with the pendant to this dead lady to put back this treasure to her but she suddenly stopped when sensed something.
'At your back.'
Sakar whispered at her.
All of a sudden, she turns at the back then points the edge of the sword exactly to the neck. This creature's neck was naked and she starts to feel attracted by the tattoo. A dangerous kind of attraction.
"Leave."
She said in seriousness.
Her body was getting hot and her mind was starting to think of flesh. What fresh food at her front.
"Leave?"
Then it smirked and laughed offensively.
"Leave now! I said leave me alone! Run!"
This big guy just remained smirking then stepping slowly towards her. He was showing a great attitude of being truly rapacity.
"You can't scare me with that sword, baby. I'm a legendary."
As he continues stepping towards her while Fontana was stepping backward.
She was starting to sweat and the reason why this man's desire for her was getting bulky.
"Don't near me. Please... Run... Run! Run away from me! Don't near me!"
"Not me, you run away from me."
Fontana cannot warn him anymore for his time was done for him to get rid of her.
When he was almost half a meter away from her, she began to feel avid in his flesh. This hard-headed man suddenly stopped when saw her trembling. But after a second, he had made to get off Fontana's fabric from her neck when he grabbed it in hasty. His eyes widen and his body cannot move because of severe and great fear.
"It is you."
After speaking up those words, he just felt of a sudden, a painful wound in his stomach caused by an unnoticeable Fontana's attack using her fingers. Claws didn't grow in her but she used her whole strength to wound this man. Blood was falling one by one from the tip of her fingers.
Again, the beast within her was at loose.
'Fontana, control yourself...'
As Sakar whispered at her but she was already under her other self. Sakar can do nothing.
This man's eyes are begging for mercy from her but it was useless. Fontana looks at him sharply then lets off the sword from her left hand.
"No... N-no!"
He attempts to run from her but she immediately runs quickly towards him then kicked him in his chest. End up bleeding at the cracked wall because of a drastic single hit.
She slowly near him and stopped when she was about ten inches away from this man who was hovering between life and death.
'Fontana... Enough. That is enough.'
When she hears the voice of Sakar she unintentionally shooked her head slowly. She was trying to fight herself. She stopped shaking her head then combed her hair with her both hands and looks at this hopeless man.
"I-I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."
Then slowly kneeled on the floor while looking at this man in regret. Tears are slowly falling from her eyes. The last groan heard from him then end up dead.
A wolf tattoo on his neck still looked clean and new as if there was nothing happened.
"I'm a monster... I'm a monster. Ahhhhh!"
Her shout echoes.
After how many minutes, she had calmed down herself but silently staring at the ground while leaning against the wall, almost near at the man's dead body. While the fabric was now coiled at her neck again.
'You didn't mean to do it. You just need to control yourself.'
As Sakar tries to comfort her. Still, she was staring at the ground.
'And maybe he deserves it, Fontana. It's not your fault. He tried to kill you so it was self-defense.'
Finally, she was being awakened by Sakar. She lifted her head then closed her eyes.
"Why me?"
'It is you for it was destined for you. Accepta-'
She suddenly opens her eyes then talks.
"I don't want this! I want a normal life! I wanted to live in peace, away from this perverted world."
'Wherever you go, you cannot escape from what you are destined to.'
Silence had ruled the surroundings for a few seconds until she realized what Sakar just said.
"You're right. Even if how much I murmur and regret everything, there was still no use."
'Build more strength again Fontana for your destination is still too far away.'
She sighed before standing up then walk closer to the sword. She picked it up and holds it tightly. Looking at the surroundings then saw the pendant that she was holding earlier. She picked it up and returned it to the owner by putting it in her right hand. Footsteps of her begin to be heard until her presence in this place disappeared.
Back to the place where Fontana had stayed for one night, and where she had met someone. Martin faces them confusingly.
"Where is she?"
He wondered to whom he was referring to but Martin realized who it was.
"Can I trust you?"
"You have your choice. Tell us, where is she?"
As he observed from these people, he had discerned that they are not enemies but he felt a little bit of fear for they have their frightening materials for defense or to start a fight.
"She just walks that way."
Then points in the direction where he saw her took that way.
"Thank you."
Then they began walking in that direction.
While Carter was still hiding at the back of Martin. When she saw that they are already far away he finally faces Martin.
"Why didn't you stop them?"
While looking at Martin.
"Why? Did you?"
He just shut up his mouth and turns his sight to them.
"Arghhh!"
Martin just shook his head after witnessing Carter's actions.
"I need to go."
Then suddenly picked up a pole from the ground and attempts to step forward but Martin immediately holds him at his left shoulder.
"Are you nuts? You're surely going to be dead."
"Immediately?"
"Yup. Put that pole back Carter. She's gonna be okay. She could protect herself than you."
Carter sighed because of a disappointment for himself. He puts back the pole then turns his sight again to the people who are looking for Fontana until they disappeared from his sight.
To the northward of the map, above the place of where the kingdom was built. The war started. War among innocents, great slaughter is present. Only true wicked could delight to see this dreadful situation. Scream there, moan here, and attacks are everywhere.
While the King at the kingdom beholding the north side. The majesty could see the smokes over there and when he imagined the present happenings there he felt a small amount of mercy for them. He bows his head then turns to his back. He stares at the thrown and it was like the mercy inside his heart disappeared. Then turn back his attention again to the north.
"I will... succeed."
He whispered.
Back to Fontana who was sitting at the corner of the street, feeling weary. She keeps her sight on the magnificent car. It was color blue with a unique design. It has no damage after all.
"Lucky car. I wish I knew how to drive that thing."
She leans her head against the wall then lifted it to see the sky. The sun was getting down. Sunset was showing a beautiful picture while the air breeze was getting cold.
"Sakar? Can you tell me more about the dark keepers that you had mentioned? Yes or yes? You have just two options, the yes or yes."
'It is still a single option, Fontana. But of course, I will answer you this one.'
"Well, then thank you Sakar."
'I had already told you that dark keepers live in the forest on the west side. And they have pets which are deleterious dogs. You had encountered one of them. Phantasma must be in great madness right now if she had found out that one of her pets had been killed.'
"Phantasma? Who is Phantasma?"
'She was their leader, the one who can control deleterious dogs.'
Then her eyebrows almost attached. Feeling confused but she cannot say that Sakar was lying for she had witnessed that extraordinary dog and she remembered what Genus told her about the history of this word and that he told Fontana that other creatures live in this world without awareness of the people.
"Tell me about the other creatures."
Sakar remains silent for a moment.
"Sakar? Tell me. I know that there are more other creatures who live with humans, not just dark keepers."
'Are you truly ready to know?'
"Of course."
'So with that, listen carefully Fontana. There are three groups of creatures living in this world. First, the dark keepers, second, the sea creatures, and third, the trolls. They are living in the present day, desiring that no one should have the awareness that they exist. For them, these days are cursed. They do not delight the King even at the beginning of his regime.'
"You mean, the King already knows that they exist?"
'It's been too long, Fontana. The kings who had ruled this world befriends the extraordinary creatures but except this time. The present King is different from the past kings. Indeed, there was something mysterious that happened with King Suduro Chee. There was a mystery...'
She started to bowed her head then her mind thinks deeply about what Sakar had said.
"What mystery?"
'You must be the one who should seek an answer for that, Fontana.'
Lifted her head again so she could see the sky. The sun was already gone, it was already on the other side of the world.
"I hope so..."
Then she sighed deeply.
