In the Kristo Rain Forest, flew four small bee-like animals toward Iyork. The insect-like beast called Mosbeefly flies carrying Rei's hope for the safety of his friend. Linco had made Rei a delicious breakfast, roasted tubers, and oddly shaped rodent meat which tasted quite good on Rei's tongue.
"Where are you from Rei, are you from Mount Carmella?" asked Linco.
"I'm from a very far place Mister," Reinhard replied.
(Iyork City)
Ewa Lani, who was sitting silently in the cellar underground, began to feel lonely, she had no one to talk to, her hands were tied and she couldn't move freely, and there was no magic power for her escape efforts. The girl started singing to drive away her boredom.
The Igdrasil tree sheds its leaves
The wind blows in the corner of the ear
The Roc bird took me flying into the sky
no sadness...
If you see Mount Carmella, you will know where heaven is
Beautiful, sparkling like your eyes...that will soothe my heart
A friend will take you flying, across the clouds, and the vast ocean
I'm always here with you...
Ewa Lani's melodious voice echoed in the cellar passageway. The waves of singing reached the ears of other underground cell occupants who then responded to the lyrics of the song Ewa Lani was singing.
A friend, with beautiful black hair
Coming from a distant world
Introduced me to the meaning of friendship
A Real and beautiful friendship
Under the Igdrasil Tree,
We play with a cheerful face
Passed by the forest fairies and joined in the singing
My heart is calm...all of this is because of you
Ewa Lani was stunned to hear her song being sung by someone in the dungeon.
"Anastasia! Is that you?" shouted Ewa Lani.
The song Ewa Lani sings is a song she sang with Anastasia about 20 years ago. Only she and Anastasia know the lyrics of the song.
"I'm not Anastasia! I'm her daughter, my name is Reina! Do you know my mother?" asked her.
Ewa Lani moves closer to the bars while wanting to see who the girl who claims to be the daughter of her best friend is. She saw a teenage girl with red eyes and golden hair as well as wanting to know who was singing her mother's song.
"So you are Reina? Are you Princess Reina, daughter of William and Anastasia?" said Ewa Lani.
"Yes, Miss, who are you? Seeing from your blue hair are you a friend of my mother named Ewa Lani?" she asked in a whisper.
"Yes, it's me, Ewa Lani, where is Anastasia now?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen my parents since I was 5 years old, they seem to have gone to protect something!" she answered
"She's still missing, then how did you memorize the song?"
"Mom used to sing that song when my brother and I would go to sleep," she explained.
"You and your brother? Are you twins?"
"How do you know? Have you seen my twin brother? I saw the same face as me in Iyork! Are you the woman who flew with him above the market?"
"Yes it was me until yesterday I was still with him, but not anymore, somehow the fate of that boy is out there without me," muttered Ewa Lani who looked worried.
"What happened to him?" Reina was curious.
"The witches of Helike, tricked me and handed me over to Iyork for their peace endeavors, the boy is in Helike, but it looks like he's about to be kicked out of there!" she said
"My goodness, I hope he's okay. I was separated from him since he was five years old, Mother took him away to protect him from something evil. I lived with the royal adviser but he was killed by Azazel's men. I once asked a wizard for help looking for my brother and our parents, but still nowhere to be found. How did you meet him?" she asked.
"I don't know, he suddenly appeared in front of me. He once said that he lived in a very far place, somehow he could be in Arasely.
"Miss Ewa Lani, if one day you get to see him again, would you be able to send my greetings? I am Reina his sister, we are twins, I'm not sure he has any memories of me, but before I die tomorrow, I can at least tell him that he has a sister who missed him so much!"
"Die tomorrow? What do you mean?" Ewa Lani was shocked.
"Prime Minister Azazel will give me the death sentence tomorrow. A guard gave me an Arace Flower this morning. An Arace Flower is a flower sent for captives who are about to be executed. At least if you survive, and have the chance to meet my little brother, I beg you to convey my greetings!"
"I won't let you die! You must meet Rei and deliver your message!"
"Rei, yes Reinhard...! His name is Rei, he is my little brother!" said Reina who started to sob sadly.
Ewa Lani couldn't bear to see this beautiful girl cry, especially when it turned out that they were both children of her best friend Anastasia. Anastasia the human race she once met around 20 years ago.
(Igdrasil Forest (20 years ago))
"Kyaaaa... Mom, Dad....! Help me! Someone help me!" screamed a girl who looked hysterical when the reptile called Croconice approached her.
"Hey, that beast won't bite you! It eats grass!" said Ewa Lani, who had appeared suddenly above the Igdrasil Tree.
Seeing Ewa Lani, instead of calming down, the girl screamed even more.
"You...? Kyaaaaaaaa..!" then she passed out.
A confused Ewa Lani picked her up and carried her to Calestyn's Palace on Mount Carmella.
"What are you doing Ewa Lani?" Calestyn asked.
"Me? What did I do? She fainted when she saw me!"
"Heem... surely she has never seen creatures like us, just look at this girl with a strange shape, small ears, hair, and skin are also strange. Especially the smell, mother has never smelled a creature like this before," Calestyn said in surprise.
Ewa Lani observed Anastasia's body closely, it was true what her mother said, that girl was strange. Ewa Lani opened Anastasia's closed eyes with her finger, they were black. It looked like Calestyn's eyes when she slept.
"Mom, why are your eyes and mine different? When you sleep, your eyes are black, while when you wake up they turn golden, why aren't my eyes like that?" asked Ewa Lani, surprised.
"That's because my mother is the 3rd generation descendant of Dionne. The Arasely creature that marries a human will have Dionne's bloodline. Mother's black eyes are a descendant of human genetics!"
"So, is this girl a human, Mother?" asked Ewa Lani innocently.
Calestyn immediately looked at Anastasia's body again, remembering how the human form her ancestors had depicted her looked like.
"Ewa Lani I think you're right! This girl is a HUMAN!"
***
An early meeting between Ewa Lani and Anastasia. The beginning of a friendship that occurred over 7 years on Mount Carmella. When she was 20 years old Anastasia went to the city of Iyork to find a portal for her return to her world, then the woman disappeared, and there was never any information of her whereabouts. This time, it was the second time that Ewa Lani had encountered the human lineage. Reina and Reinhard who this time she would protect even if it cost her life.
(Iyork Underground Cell)
"Are you and my mother close friends?"
"Yeah, that's it! She's the most annoying girl I've ever met!" said Ewa Lani, smiling at the memory.
Suddenly while Ewa Lani and Reina were chatting there was a vibration from the bottom of the prison floor where Ewa Lani was being held, the vibration was so loud that it broke the prison floor and made a hole. The tremors created a large hole in the bottom of the prison floor, but strangely no guards came to hear the commotion. A large figure appeared out of the underground. Someone who made Ewa Lani gasp at the sight of him.
