Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: The Symbolic Meaning of the Red Star

Continuation of the chapter...

An hour passed...

Zilpher *kneeling from extreme weakness* Ack!! *spat blood*

Ashley: What, can you still handle it, Zilpher??, Hahaha!!! Zilpher *looking at the unconscious Selena* (Is this really the end for me, Sel??, Will I never see your sweet smiles at me again??)

Selena *smiled*

Zilpher (Will I never hear from your lips the words "I love you, Zilpher.") *looking up at the cave* (I know I'm not looking at the sky and my way of praying might not be correct, but please save Selena from here and from Nefetirani, even if I'm not here anymore, just take my life in exchange for the safety of....) My beloved woman *whispered* Then he bowed his head....

Ashley: Kill him!

Pirate 2 *approaching Zilpher* It's the end for you, Farley...

Suddenly, Zilpher smelled white roses...

Zilpher (Huh?!)

???: Zilpher Farley....

And as they were about to behead him, suddenly.... Pirate 2 *stopped and dropped the sword*

Zilpher: Ggrrgghhh!!! (Good thing I didn't drink my potion last night).

Ashley (This can't be!, he changed form even though I know the skies and moon aren't red tonight!)

[Flashback] Ashley: Are you sure the moon and sky won't turn red tomorrow night??

Banshee: Yes, I heard it from the people managing Silarux yesterday while I was secretly strolling in their city.

Ashley (It means the curse is worsening but why...) His skin is freezing and his eyes are turning green, which is the normal color of his children as humans *whispered*

Zilpher (I am aware and I still have control over the strength and movement of my body!) ?! (Hehe!) *looked at Ashley*

Ashley: Eekk!!!

Zilpher *pointed at Ashley* It's your end, Banshee, and all the pirates living here in Silarux! *voice turned monstrous*

Ashley: Kill that Titan!

Pirates *swallowed nervously* Y-yes!!! The pirates and banshees attacked the Titan....

Selena *body twitched* (Titan?!) Ackk!!! *held her head* (I remember clearly, before I fainted in Atlantis, I saw Zilpher really change into a Titan. If that's the case, Zilpher isn't in pain, what he has is....) A curse.... *whispered* (That's why he needs moonflowers and the fruit of tranquility....) Zip... *whispered* (Is this Titan fighting in front of me really Zilpher??) But why is his skin white and blue and his eyes green??, Ahh!! *closed her eyes due to weakness* Zilpher pushed the banshees against the wall.

Banshees: Aahhh!!! *turned to ashes*

He strangled and decapitated the pirates.

Pirate 3: Acckkk!!! (This can't be!)

Afterward, he immediately went to Ashley.

Ashley: No!!!

As Ashley ran out of the cave... Ashley: ?! Zilpher grabbed and held her tightly with his large right hand.

Ashley *slapped Zilpher's hand with her small hands* Let go of me!!! *screamed*

Zilpher *voice turned monstrous* After what you did to Selena, you're telling me now to let you go?!

Ashley *trembling in fear* I-I know what y-you mean but... YOU'RE WRONG!!, we didn't harm Selena!, I just took the diamonds from her clothes so her clothes got ripped!, If you want, you can have all the riches you see here as long as you let me go and allow me to live long here! on the su-su-upper world!!! *nervous and sweating*

Zilpher *voice turned monstrous* NO! BECAUSE WHAT I WANT IS FOR YOU TO DIE!

Ashley: No!!!! *screamed and cried out of fear*

Zilpher stabbed Ashley's heart with the spear he saw and pulled from her.

Ashley: Aahhh!!! *turned to ashes*

Afterward, Zilpher returned to his normal form and quickly went to Selena. Zilpher *gently tapped Selena's right cheek* Sel! Selena?! He carried Selena and took her to his boat... Zilpher *hugged Selena tightly* I'm sorry I was late, Calla *teary-eyed*

>In ancient times, Princess Callista gave birth to a beautiful baby. She named her "Calla" with her husband Martin. Their child was born healthy with a red star symbol on its neck, symbolizing light in the dark sky. According to the prophecy and vision of the Priest back then, the child with the red star symbol [the symbol on her neck will only appear, shine, and can be seen by anyone when her eyes are closed] will save all of humanity from impending evil. Their child was the first person granted by God [chosen by God as a gift for the goodness Callista showed to the world] with powers similar to Selena's, but Calla had a white aura.

>Calla and her lover Sylvan (with the power of water) defeated Lucifer, the king of darkness and purgatory.

Zilpher looked at Selena's neck but he didn't see the red star symbol, but he saw a small red light on the palm of Selena's right hand. Zilpher *took Selena's right hand* (Didn't Heraldo notice this when he was treating you?) But suddenly, Zilpher remembered something.... Zilpher (Ah, Goddess Callista mentioned something about this earlier when she talked to me....)

Callista: For her life, only the person she trusts the most can see her red star symbol.

Zilpher *placed Selena's hand on his cheek* It seems in this life, I'm still the person you trust the most (It seems I still have no rival in your heart, my love, even Almorante can't match the love you reserve only for me). Then he covered Selena's whole body with a blanket and started the boat.
