Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Continuing.

"Maybe you saw it wrong, honey. There is nothing strange in the sky, you can see for yourself, right, the stars are still there? You are tired, so your mind starts to imagine, and actually what you see is not true," said Agatha calmed her agitated daughter.

Alika argued that she did not see a single star in the sky. However, after Agatha came, then at that moment the stars seemed to return to their respective positions.

Agatha seemed to keep herself busy by tidying up the things on the table, and seemed reluctant to look at Alika. He no longer looked up at the sky, knowing that there was nothing out of the ordinary there. Meanwhile, Alika, still believes in what she saw earlier.

"I can't lie to Mom. Really, I didn't see the stars earlier, but why after Mom came, it seemed like the stars had returned to their place? Was it true that my eyes saw the wrong thing?"

Alika scratched her head that didn't itch, while Agatha, who heard the statement, started shaking her body. Nevertheless, he tried to remain calm, even though his back was sweating profusely.

Alika continues to pay attention to the behavior of her mother, who seems to be busying herself. However, what he did seemed irregular. Her mother's gaze was so blank that Alika couldn't help but ask.

"You're all right, aren't you? Why do I feel like you're nervous, and like you're hiding something from me?"

In fact, Alika had realized it earlier, but she was reluctant to ask. However, after being watched continuously, Alika saw her mother's shaking hands.

"No. I have nothing to hide from you, honey."

Agatha hastily stood up straight. His gaze immediately fell on Alika, who had been wearing a confused face for a long time.

"It's late, you should sleep, honey," said Agatha, stroking Alika's hair.

The girl looked confused. There were still many questions that plagued his mind. However, he himself couldn't speak his mind right now.

"You're still sick, don't think too hard. You should rest and tomorrow, you have to go to school too, right?"

Alika nodded slowly, but there was nothing the girl could say, other than obeying her mother's words.

"I love mom."

Alika hastily hugged her mother, "I love you too, Alika." Agatha returned her daughter's warm embrace very gently.

He stroked Alika's mane, saying to himself, "For now, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you, my dear. However, when the time is right, then I will explain everything."

Agatha took a deep breath, before finally letting go of her embrace. "Well, you should sleep now. Don't think too hard, or you'll get sick again," Agatha ordered, pinching Alika's nose and cheeks.

The girl smiled warmly, "Okay, I will rest, but you also have to rest. I don't want to see you sick," he said while wiggling one of his index fingers.

"Ready, sweet child," replied Agatha mockingly. "Go to sleep early!" he forced, while pulling Alika's body to the bed.

The girl finally lay down on the bed. Agatha enveloped her only daughter. Then he kissed her forehead gently.

"Good night, honey. Sweet dreams," he said as he walked away from Alika.

Slowly drowsiness began to attack him. Alika started to close her eyes. However, once Alika could still see her mother's shadow from a distance.

Agatha turned off the lights in her daughter's room, then closed the door and left the room.

After being away from Alika, then Agatha could breathe a sigh of relief. Since then, he seemed to be holding his breath and guarding every word he said, so that Alika would not be suspicious.

The woman who was now forty years old ran to her room. Taking a deep breath, Agatha closed the door and locked it.

His body immediately shook violently. Sweat dripped down his body. Agatha hurriedly took the drinking water that was on the table.

He poured water into a glass, then drank it all down. His body was shaking, making his drink spill and wet his clothes.

"Mom why can't the star be seen?"

The words kept replaying in his mind. The occurrence of the stars that are not visible in the sky, is not a lie. Actually what Alika saw was true, the stars were really invisible in the sky.

However, with the power that Agatha had, she managed to create the Illusion of Stars in the sky, which eventually brought back the stars that had previously disappeared.

"It's the night of the Blue Full Moon, why did I even forget?" regretted Agatha, wiping her sweat.

Blue Full Night, actually a phenomenon where the Moonlight is bright blue and radiates great power, that's when the Miracle Nation got its power.

That means, when the Blue Full Moon event occurs, at that moment the Miracle Nation will gather, and absorb the power of the Moon. It is during this process of absorption of power that the Stars are invisible in the sky.

That's why Alika couldn't find the Stars in the sky, because the Miracle Nation was absorbing the power from the Moon. However, Agatha could not explain all of that now to her daughter, because it would raise big questions from the girl.

The Blue Full Moon phenomenon occurs once every five hundred years, of course this cannot be explained by human reason. Even if Agatha had to explain it, then she had to find the right words for Alika to understand.

"If I hadn't seen him earlier, I don't know what would have happened."

Agatha thought about the consequences of this Blue Full Moon phenomenon, because Alika has the bloodline of the Miracle Nation, which allows her daughter to absorb the power of the Moon.

However, Alika's body has not been able to absorb the power of the Moon with her ability, that's why Agatha hastily ordered her daughter to sleep.

"I can't imagine what, if that body absorbs the power of the Moon? I can't imagine it. It's really unimaginable."

Agatha shook her head, covering her face with both hands.

Alika does look like an ordinary girl in general, who has a spoiled nature and likes to play. However, actually in his body was flowing the blood of the descendants of the Miracle nation.

It was that natural blood, which could have absorbed the moon's power if Alika had looked at the Moon any longer. Agatha, afraid that Alika is not ready to accept the power, plus the Immortality embedded in her body has not been activated, until this moment.

"I don't know how long I can hide all this? Sooner or later, Alika will know it, but before that happens, hopefully, her body will be strong enough to take all the power there is."

There was nothing Agatha could do now. He only hoped that when the time came for him to tell his story, then Alika would be able to control the power that had been hidden in her body.

***

Hundreds of years ago, Agatha was the Queen of the Aqua kingdom who resided on the Planet Airraksa, millions of light kilometers from Earth. She lives happily with a man named Arthur.

Their lives have never had a problem. During the journey of the household, they have gone through many obstacles and obstacles, but they can all be overcome together.

However, one day when the two were talking casually as usual, at that time a great fight broke out.

Arthur said that the baby that was in his wife's womb just be eliminated, because in the baby's body Immortality was embedded.

Immortality itself is a very large force that exists on the planet Airraksa. A power that only appears once every 5000 years. That's why the possessor of an Immortality body is very special.

However, Arthur did not want the baby to be born into the world. The reason was because, King Orion of the Shiners nation wanted to master the power of Immortality.

King Orion had prepared nearly sixty thousand troops to attack the Aqua nation, which made Arthur take this reckless decision.
