Chapter. 21
Grandma Bianca
"Listen carefully. You all should know. Two month from now, the moon and sun will on their worst period. This moment only occurs once every 195 years. At that time, the darkness's army will come to devour human souls and destroy the world. So, Keannan has to go home," said Aaegon.
"It is Kellen's duty as the protector of the alliance to save everyone and prevent the damage caused by the forces of darkness's army, for that he needs all the help available. You as a successor of the clan must be able to help your father." Aaegon said while looking at Keannan.
"One more thing, the Joye Sword which has the best protective power for us is here. Whoever owns it, he or she has the responsibility to protect the clan." Aaegon continued his words.
"Okay, Master. I understand what you said. I will prepare and return to Shinny as soon as possible." Keannan said firmly after staring at Kiera for a while. He is determined to reunite Kiera and her father, they both deserves to get it after all the pain they through by.
"Teacher, may I accompany Keannan? I have never traveled far from Red Land." Adam suddenly asked a question which was greeted with a big smile by Keannan.
"Of course you can, the important thing is that you have to feel steady. The power of darkness that you will face cannot be taken lightly," replied Aaegon while looking at Adam.
Adam and Keannan glanced at each other secretly. Both of them really hoped that Kiera would also join. However, Adam and Keannan also realized that it might still be difficult for Kiera to meet Kellen at this time.
"All right! All right. I'm coming too!" Kiera said with a frown. He knew the unspoken request Adam and Keannan were throwing in their eyes.
"Hoooray!"
With joy, Adam and Keannan immediately hugged Kiera. They didn't care even though Kiera was screaming in annoyance, for a moment they just pushed and punched each other jokingly. For the guys this trip will be the first adventure.
"Then I'll going back to the White Stone this afternoon to say goodbye to Grandma." Kiera's words spontaneously stopped Adam and Keannan who were still pushing each other.
"We're coming!" With a compact Adam and Keannan answered in unison.
"No! I want to meet Grandma alone," Kiera replied while shaking her head
"But ...."
Aaegon raised her right hand to stop Adam's words. "Kiera, let Adam and Keannan accompany you home. Your grandmother will be delighted to meet they both."
Kiera looked at Aaegon questioningly. If about Adam, Kiera understand. But, how could Grandma be happy to meet the son of the man who had broken her daughter's heart to death? Moreover, Grandma also never knew about Keannan's whereabouts before.
"When you first came to Red Land with your grandmother, we talked about your father. Your grandmother already knew about your father's arrival to pick up your mother. Your father has been forgiven," said Aaegon as he could hear Kiera's unspoken question.
"Alright! Let's go now! We have nothing to prepare. We can look some fruits on the way!"
"Huh! Sir, you wants to come too?" Three Aaegon's students asked in disbelief.
"Are you the only ones who want to meet Bianca?" answered Aaegon who was laughed at youngs people in front of him.
Finally, that very day they decided to go together to the White Stone. Kiera is feeling very happy. Even though it wasn't complete, but now she could really understand the joy of being in the midst of a family.
Unexpectedly, on the same day, Ackerley also came to White Stone to look for Kiera's whereabouts. Apparently Ackerley also survived his fight with Keannan.
Just like Keannan, Ackerley was stranded not far from Red Land. But, not everyone can enter the Red Land. That's why he didn't know the whereabouts of Keannan who was not far from him.
In addition, it turns out that Ackerley is the one who once sent strangers to kidnap Kiera. But, at that time he failed. None of his messenger survived.
Ackerley used to see and feel the energy of the sun's power in Kiera. Immediately after that he ordered some people to find and bring the girl to him. But, he did not know what had happened because none of his subordinates had returned to report.
Today, Ackerley decided to return to the White Stone to find out what really happened. Because recently he felt a tremendous energy from the power of his ancestors. But he didn't know how to find the girl he was looking for. Ackerley must quickly find and harness the power of the girl.
Ackerley instead meets a woman from the moon clan, the woman is Bianca, whom Ackerley had seen before around the girl he wanted to find. But the stubborn woman refused to answer his question. They fought heavy. Until he can hurt Bianca.
Even though Bianca had been badly injured from confronting Ackerley and some of his men, she still chose to keep her mouth shut. Bianca didn't want to tell where Kiera was.
Than by angrily, Ackerley furiously channeled all the strength he had. Ackerley lifted the dying woman's already helpless body a few fathoms above the ground. However, he saw that Bianca remained calm. There was not the slightest fear looming over her face.
Meanwhile, Bianca is secretly trying to survive with the power of protection she has. Bianca did everything she could to prevent Ackerley from finding Kiera right away.
Bianca didn't want Kiera to meet this deceitful man in front of her. The shameless man who had attacked him suddenly in a sly manner along with his men. He hoped that the current Kiera had progressed rapidly and was enough to protect herself. Even though Bianca knew Ackerley's cunning was definitely no match for Kiera.
Bianca, who was already full of the acid and salt of life, could fall into the trap of Ackerley who came pretending to be a guest, let alone an innocent girl like Kiera. The woman knew that the remaining strength in her body was only a fingernail. Bianca felt her resistance was approaching her limit. She will soon meet and join her daughter and leave Kiera. Her eyes slowly began to look droopy.
"Grandma!" Kiera, who was the first to arrive at her grandmother's yard, was surprised to see Bianca's house was so messy as it had just been hit by a hurricane.
Kiera screamed with all her might. When the corner of her eye caught a very sad sight. Her grandmother she loved so much seemed to float helplessly. Bianca's body looks like a broken doll that has been submerged in water for a long time.
Kiera's scream was accompanied by a tremendous amount of anger energy. Her power attack around. Several men who had previously been guarding around the courtyard of Bianca's cottage, were blown away without having time to notice Kiera's attack.
A thin mist was seen creeping over and supporting Bianca's body. Meanwhile, Ackerley was thrown while vomiting fresh blood. The man's body hit the pillar supporting the hut until part of the roof fell on him. He stared in disbelief at the girl standing tall before him.
At that time, Ackerley immediately felt that his life had not ended in vain. He was honored to have to die today in the arms of the ancient power of his ancestors because that was exactly what he wanted. The man greeted his death with open eyes and a smile on his lips.
Ackerley's chest was burning hot. In the midst of the deep wounds he suffered, Ackerley looked at Kiera's anger with amazement. For the first time in his entire life, he witnessed the Sun Clan's immense core strength.
"Thank you." Ackerley whispers
