Chapter 17
The Meet
Heard the narrative from Keannan, a little bit Aaegon understand why Keannan could end up with Kiera in the waterfall. Of the traits mentioned by Keannan, a mysterious man who became the tester of Keannan on that exam, it was certain to be Ackerley.
Although Aaegon did not know Ackerley specifically, the commotion caused by the protective son of the Sun Clan before Keannan's grandfather, was so famous. Until the person who lives at same decade with him must know about the man. At that time, Ackerley chose to leave the Sun Clan because he felt his right as the son of the chairman of the clan, had been taken by Gillian, Keannan's grandfather.
Before going out from clan, Ackerley released attack to clan members, were at the time still try to recovering from the dark army's attack.
Ackerley's attack caused many members of the clan is death. It was known Aaegon about Ackerley. Joye sword which miraculously moved to Kiera, increasingly strengthening Aaegon's alleged. The sword was a heritage sword belonging to the Sun Clan, hereditary heresy that had ancient force and was able to find its own owner. It seems that the sword has chosen Kiera as his master.
At the time of the battle between Keannan and Ackerley, seems that he holds the grudge intends to bring Keannan to melt with him into the ancient strength of the Sun Clan. But, in the last seconds, Ackerley did not expect that the sword in the Keannan's hands, was an ancient protector sword from his ancestor.
At the same time, Kiera's mantra made an open connecting door. The sword came to meet his master's summons, Kiera. Kiera at that time was released the most ancient call spell taught to every owner of the ancient clan, until Keannan and Ackerley were carried away by the Joye sword, into the connecting door. However, where is Ackerley now?
Arriving here, Aaegon looked back at Keannan. It looks like, the young man was carried to the Red Land accidentally, perhaps that called destiny. Kellen was lucky at the time he was holding the sword Joye, until he survived without any injury.
With a heavy breath, Aaegon looked at Kellen's son and daughter, who were also staring at him full of question marks. He was confused where to start the story.
"Kiera, what do you know about your father?" Aaegon asked his students, he decided to tell stories directly.
The sixteen-year-old period has kept a big secret without the knowledge of the people concerned. He believes this truth will feel painful, especially for Kiera. However, after now knowing, Aaegon might not let it run without revealing the truth.
"Why, teacher, asking that at a time like now?" The question was actually spoken from Adam. Apparently, the young man who had just listened, was curious too.
"That is true what Adam asked, Teacher. Grandma never told me about my father. Grandma just said that my father loved my mom so much," Kiera said following the question from Adam to their teacher.
Meanwhile Keannan can only listen with a question mark. He also felt surprised as Adam and Kiera. Why did Aaegon ask about Kiera's father, after he told about the events experienced before being stranded with the girl. What is the rubble of Kiera's father in this matter?
"Okay, I'll answer all of your curiosity. Kiera! Show amulets given by your grandmother before your arrival here, and Keannan, do you have an identification or something that your father gave as a special identity?" Aaegon said.
Still full of question marks, Kiera showed amulets on her right arm paired by her grandmother, just before their trip to the Red Land. On each end of the amulet there is a different symbol, one sun symbol and the other symbol of the moon.
Meanwhile, Keannan felt the pendant hanging on the necklace that surrounded his neck. The young man remembered, he got the pendant from his father as he entered the age of ten. The first time Kellen introduced him about the secrets and the story of the Sun clan.
With the mouth open, Keannan looked at the symbol of the sun in the arm of Kiera, the shape was exactly the same as the pendant in his grasp. The symbol is a special symbol of the Keannan's family to generation.
"What the mean of this?" The young man said with a face of confusion.
As far, Keannan was famous because of his patience. But, now he feels can explode anytime if he doesn't immediately find out what the relationship between a beautiful girl in front him with himself. Various consecutive events between they both were increasingly tied it with Kiera, the girl he did not know at all before.
"Keannan, from before you asked who Kiera, didn't she? She was your sister. Her grandmother, sent Kiera to this place, to learn to control the power of the sun she had." Aaegon said in a flat and firm tone.
The man who has been full of acidic and salt life is really confused about how the right way to say the truth reality as important about two brother and sister in front him. Because however, he said, he was sure they both would feel hurt at first.
"What ?!" Three voices simultaneously shouted towards Aaegon.
Meanwhile, Keannan speechless as now realized. It turned out that the ancient strength of the clan had chosen Kiera as his protector. That's why he can't have that power.
"What does you mean, my father is still alive? Grandma said, my father loves my mother, if he is still alive, why doesn't even come to look forward to me? Do am i the child he don't wants?" Kiera asked in a trembling voice. The girl's face has now turned pale.
"What do you sure by your words, Teacher?" Again, whispered Kiera in a soft voice.
"I'm sure, my child. All the evidence said that, and most importantly, your father and mother were my students. I will not forget to him. Keannan's face, that next to you, like that your father and his figure looks like." Then, flow all stories about Kellen, also about the Sun clan, including about Ackerley and Joye sword.
Aaegon notifications, like a knife that carved injuries in the Kiera' heart. As far, Kiera was accept the fact that she did not have a father. During this time, her mother's tomb was a solace when she missed that woman, but longing for her father could only be spending in her deepest heart, because her grandmother never liked Kiera broke up about the existence of her father.
Now, she knows that it turns out her father is still alive. Sad and angry feeling mixed on Kiera's heart. She realized that man just does not want to see her and do not care about Kiera's existence, even her news only.
The proof, the man that Kiera should have called father, never looked for her. Definitely because the man doesn't want it. Maybe because he already has a son who will be his success.
Feeling hurt that was painted in the girl's eyes looked so clear. Even Keannan who ready make a question to Aaegon was unable to open his mouth. He also felt pain drawn on Kiera's face.
Spontaneously, Adam grabbed Kiera's body. If can, he will do anything to get rid of the such pain on the Kiera's eyes. Adam didn't even care about the cold sense that suddenly entered and stabbed into the pores of his body. That young man didn't even apply protection shield as it should be.
"Adam! Be aware! Use your shield! Kiera! Kieraaa!" Aaegon shouted at Adam, young man he had considered his own son.
Aaegon shout late. Only in an instant, Adam's lips seemed to be blue. Meanwhile, the thin ice sheet began to envelop the whole body of the young man. Adam dying.
Because of being dragged by the pain, apparently Kiera had wrapped up with the moonlight power that she was inherited from her mother's blood. The power can make a freeze all the things within.
"Keannan! Have you learn the Sun clan protection technique? Distribute your strength to Adam. Now!" Without waiting for Keannan's answer, Aaegon approached Kiera. As fast as lightning Aaegon stood and sat cross-legged behind Kiera.
Aaegon mobilized all of his ability to break the girl. He pressed his palm to Kiera's back. Sweat began to pour out of Aaegon's temples. But he still can't reach Kiera's mind.
