Zrshhh ...
Ah!. This feeling again!. Just like when I was in the temple and received water from the altar!. But something is different...
I didn't feel anything flowing in from my hands to the rest of my body, but the opposite. I felt something evaporate from my body.
Something like wind was pulled out of my body gently like a calmly flowing river. And streaks of golden light emerged from the joining of my hands and His Highness Yvone's hands. What happened?!.
"Young Lady, please keep holding my hand," said His Highness Yvone. He removed his left hand and began to create a magic circle in the air again. While he right hand still held my hand.
The sensation of soft water flowing out of my hand was still felt. It was like His Highness Yvone hand was absorbing something from my hand.
I was still confused, but when I saw His Highness Yvone's face slowly regaining its freshness, I began to understand something.
Could it be that the sensation of something flowing in or out of my hands and body is mana?!.
Yes. I guess that's right!. His Highness Yvone said that this magic space absorbs mana, but she also said that I have the ability to absorb mana.
Does that mean I can absorb mana in this mana-absorbing room?. If that's true, then I don't need to worry about running out of mana here!.
I think again. Maybe what His Highness Yvone did by holding my hand was that he made me channel mana into his body so that he could use magic again without having to worry about running out of mana. As long as I hold his hand, he'll be fine.
I then grasped His Highness Yvone's hand with both of my hands tightly. But something suddenly happened right when Hia Highness Yvone touched the ancient rune floating in the air.
My vision suddenly went dark and the next scene was that I didn't see His Highness Yvone anywhere. I feel deja vu.
This scene felt the same as when I touched the wall of my house and suddenly I saw a view of ruins as if I had suddenly shifted dimensions. But this time the scene in front of me was just a cold and damp dark room.
With confusion and aroused curiosity, I looked around.
The first thing I can confirm is, I feel like I'm in prison!. Then the next thing made me very surprised because I saw someone sitting right next to where I was standing right now.
I gasped and screamed very loudly in surprise.
"Dad!?" I shouted, but the figure I was trying to call dad didn't respond at all. He also didn't seem to realize my presence and had just made a noise because he was surprised as if he didn't see me and didn't feel my presence.
"Dad?"
But wait a minute.
If you look closely, it's not your daddy. He only resembled daddy because of his long silvery hair and his equally saga red eyes.
Who is it really?. Why is he locked up in this prison?. I saw that he was also restrained by a chain and it was a magic chain. The shape of the chain is the same as the chain that binds the totems when they are released.
Who is that man?. And what is happening to me?. Why am I experiencing something like this again?.
I walked in front of the man. Since then he just sat there in silence, staring blankly ahead. His life seemed to be out of place.
I tried to test his awareness of me by waving my hand in front of his face and then continuing to pat his shoulder, but the second scene surprised me because I couldn't touch him!.
For some reason, I feel like I've turned into a ghost now. But the important thing I know right now is, this man who looks like my daddy can't see me or feel my presence.
So, am I dreaming?.
I don't know!.
What actually happened?!.
Where are His Highness Yvone, Salamanca, and Cemille?. They all suddenly disappeared from my side.
Kritt!
The sound of iron bars creaking was loud and heavy. I turned around and saw that someone had just opened the prison door and he was now walking in towards this man and I was shocked again because this burly man seemed to have the same face and appearance as my daddy!.
It's just that he looks like a very tough figure. There are many veins protruding from beneath the surface of the skin. He must be an emotional person.
I thought he was in his fifties but somehow these two people and daddy seem to have distinctive characteristics so they look similar. But why have I only seen people who look like dad?!. Who are these?!.
"Have you reflected on your behavior?!" Said the figure who had just entered prison.
"Reflecting on my behavior?. Oh you're right. I've thought about it many times and I don't regret it at all."
"This Brat!. Why are you so stubborn huh!?"
"Argh!!!"
The chains that ensnare the figure of the man in prison are seen moving and shrinking so that the man confined in the chains screams in pain.
I don't know what happened between these two people, but it seems like they are father and son who are having problems or is their relationship really bad?.
"It really can't be expected anymore. I've given up on you. Firstly having a relationship with that witch woman then secondly, you have children and you are trying to hide them from us..."
"Do you realize what you are doing?. You are truly a disgrace to this family. What would people think of us if a witch hunter actually had a romantic relationship with his prey?!"
"Damn it!. I don't care what people think about me!" said old's man son. He tried to smile amidst the pain that plagued him, "And why should I think about this family?" he continued.
"This brat!. You want to die?!"
"Yeah. Kill!. Do it now!. Kill me now!!!"
"You!-"
The old man seemed very emotional earlier, but it seemed like he was still trying to hold back his emotions. As a father, he certainly wasn't serious about his words just now, right?.
I'm sure their hearts are holding back the madness that's going on inside them. No parent wants to kill their child just like that. Even though it seemed like he was torturing her, he did this because he couldn't think of what he should do for his child anymore. Being a parent is really difficult.
"You killed her. You killed them. Why don't you kill me too?. Why?. Why?!" The man became hysterical. His face was covered with tears and a painful smile.
Without realizing it, my tears flowed. Just hearing it made my chest hurt. I don't know what's going on, but it seems like they're having a very difficult time dealing with the witch.
Why were his wife and children killed?. Because his wife is a witch and his child is the son of a witch?. Was his wife an evil witch like a dark wizard and had to be killed?. And does this man come from a family of witch hunters?.
"That's enough, Xion. I will free you if you tell father the rune"
"Tell you?. What for?. You might as well kill me too!-"
Slap!
The father slapped his son, who was called Xion.
"I said enough!. OK. Just consider this a life sentence for you, Xion. I won't let you die if you don't tell me the rune."
"Think carefully with a cool head. If you want to be free and visit the graves of your wife and child, I will allow it..." said the old man again. He then got up and walked out leaving his son, but when he was at the threshold of the prison door he stopped for a moment.
"Forgive me. I know you love your wife and children very much, but King Yevonia's orders are absolute and I can't refuse them. But I have made graves for your children and wife secretly. I hope you understand..." muttered the old man. His tone sounded like there was regret in it.
ARGHH!!!!
I am surprised. This man named Xion was hysterical again. He screamed and cried but not because of the restraining chains that ensnared him.
I think he was like that because he had lost two figures he loved very much. However, what I saw made me very hurt. What is really happening to this world?. Everything seems filled with sadness and tragedy.
Dragon, Wizard, witch. Then what again?. Is it the existence of all of them that has brought misfortune to the people of this world?.
I suddenly remembered the terrible and sad scene in the ruins.
It is also a scene that shows a man who seems to be fighting desperately to protect the people he loves, even though he failed because they were all killed by a dragon and a baskerville who destroyed their bodies without feeling guilty.
I also remember the scene when my mommy was taken by the big black dragon.
Bad thoughts started to surround me. Various questions filled my head again.
Will I lose my mother like they all lose the people they love?, Will I lose my father too?, Lost Vio and Vincent?, Lost uncle Carrion and aunt Freya?, Lost, Salamanca, my sister?, lost the Choco Kid?, lost my friends?, lost His Highness Yvone?.
Lost...
Lost...
Lost them all...
And I will go back to living alone without the warmth of a family and people who love me...
Various bad simulations appeared in my head.
Suddenly the scene around me was like a broken film that was slowly fading. Is it because my thoughts and feelings are confused?. Besides, what is all this really about?. Why am I suddenly seeing this unfamiliar sight?. Where did all this come from?.
I can't think about it. My feelings really became chaotic like a storm raging in the ocean.
Drrtt!--Drrtt!--Drrtt!.
The prison scene in front of me finally disappeared but I still didn't see His Highness Yvone, Salamanca, or Cemille. I haven't gone back to their place yet.
Now where am I being taken?. Am I actually dreaming because I fell asleep suddenly?. Or do I enter another trap and get separated from them all?.
Because my mind feels very confused, so do my feelings. I could only stay silent and observe what else happened this time?.
The suddenly dark scene has now changed to an urban scene. I saw the buildings. This doesn't look familiar. This is the path I followed during the festival with my daddy at that time!. It's just that this road looks very quiet.
There are no vendor stands selling their wares like during festivals. I just saw a lot of soldiers wandering around and a group of people wearing robes similar to each other talking. The group was about three adult steps away from where I was standing
What are they talking about in the middle of this road?. And who are they all?.
"Kejadiannya terjadi bersamaan. Pemburu penyihir dan pemburu naga yang melakukannya ..."
"The events occurred simultaneously. Witch hunters and dragon hunters did it..."
"Hard to believe. But why did they kill those two people.? What is the relation?. They weren't even dark wizards or dragons?. This is very strange ..."
I followed the group walking and somehow I suddenly arrived at a hill behind the temple.
I saw a surprising sight. It turns out that the hill behind the western temple is a burial place that stretches so wide. But that wasn't what surprised me, it was a grave shaded by a tree.
"Teon Yvone..." the writing was clearly engraved on a board attached to the branch of the tree that shaded this grave.
