Wooden stick rubbing against each other.

Lauriel is still busy practising martial arts with her friends who are members of the Temple Of Light troops, it is at this temple that every evening Lauriel trains her martial arts skills. That afternoon when the sun had begun to return to its unification, Lauriel was still thinking about the fate of her life, which was destined as a human with unusual powers. According to the story, she was born for immortality she came from only human parents.

But the gods bestowed immortality on her because Lauriel's father was a warrior who was most feared by the demons, after receiving the power given by the gods. Even Lauriel loved father and mother figures that she had never seen at all. The royal servant tells her that her mother was killed by King Lucifer who wanted to take revenge on her father because her father nearly killed all the demon troops. Meanwhile, her father plans to take revenge on King Lucifer who has killed his wife, before going to war her father entrusts Lauriel to the royal servant. So from that, she survived the war, but unfortunately, after that, her father never returned to pick her up at the palace.

"Lauriel". Call someone.

Lauriel immediately looked back, it was Queen Amaya and King Arthur who had come. Lauriel both of them considered them as their parents because since childhood they had been cared for by the King and Queen. Lauriel immediately fell to her knees in front of the King and Queen, the Queen quickly ordered him to stand up.

"Lauriel, my daughter. You don't have to treat us like that, because we are both your parents". Said Queen Amaya.

Lauriel stood up and smiled. "This is a sign of my respect for you as my parents, who have taken care of me and raised me". Lauriel replied.

"You are so humble my sweetie, I am proud of you". Said the King.

Lauriel smiled. "Is there anything that worries father, mother? Until you follow me to the temple?".

"Nothing, we came here just to tell you something important". Said the King.

Lauriel frowned. "Something? What is it, father?". Lauriel asked curiously.

Her parents immediately invited her to sit on the temple terrace while enjoying hot tea and accompanying the sunset

beautiful. Her mother immediately told Lauriel what to say.

"Lauriel, my daughter. Your martial skills are no longer in doubt, even people admit it. Starting tomorrow, your father wants you to lead the Temple of Light army and you must be ready to train the entire army in this temple". Said the mother.

Her mother's words made Lauriel choke while drinking his tea.

"Lauriel are you okay?". Said the father.

"It's okay, I was just shocked when you said that. Is it serious, dad?". Said Lauriel.

"Yes, of course. Because, uncle Yazuri will stop training all soldiers in the Temple of Light". Muttered the father.

"But why is it? Isn't Yazuri uncle superior to me?" Lauriel asked curiously.

"Lauriel, Uncle Yazuri asked me to continue as leader of this temple, and it's time you presided over this temple. It's been two hundred years since your birth, and when a god descended from heaven. The god told me if you could. become a protector for this kingdom, and you also have four secret powers within yourself. Gods also said that the power will function after you turn seventeen, but after you pass your age that power has not been seen from you ". Said the father.

"The four secret powers? How can I use them? Even I never felt I had the power that you mentioned earlier". Lauriel asked confused.

"Pray to the gods, and ask him for directions. I'm sure the gods will give all the answers". The father insisted.

"Then mom and dad will go back to the palace, don't you be late for dinner". Said the mother.

"Okay, mom". Lauriel smiled kindly at them.

Lauriel was still pensive, digesting every word of her father. She looked at the shrine courtyard which was getting deserted from the soldiers who had finished training. She is still confused and curious about the strength she has.

"What strength do you mean my father? I don't understand." Lauriel muttered to himself.

Suddenly her thoughts were shattered when Butterfly came over to her.

"What's wrong with you, Lauriel?" Asked Butterfly while playing with the knife in her hand.

"I'm fine, just now my father said something that confused me, he said I have four secret powers. But I don't know how to use that power". Said Lauriel confused.

"You don't need to be confused, I also believe if you have that power. Because you are a lucky person, the gods bestow immortality as well as hidden power and only you know ".

"But how? I also don't understand how that power is".

"Ask the god for directions, Lauriel. You will find the answer". Said Butterfly while sticking the knife into the apple which was right in front of Lauriel.

"Geez Butterfly". Lauriel is shocked by Butterfly.

"This is called a skill and this is my skill in using weapons. Then I'll go first". Said Butterfly while eating the apple on the knife.

Lauriel decided to return to the palace, she didn't want to make her parents postpone dinner just because they were waiting for her.
