"Some become the prisoner of their past"
Long and frustrated hours of going through tangled memories, I arrived at my room and decided to take a nap. Whatever I tried to do, my mind keeps reminding me of Areli and Karalos, that I must find them. Suddenly, I heard a loud knock on the door. Being tired, I stood up and opened the door. A short-heighted woman with short brown hair and one eye patched up, wearing a cloak and a white veil. She somehow looked like Areli; she might know about her.
"Hello, how can I help you, young lady?" I asked.
"My name if Fia, loyal servant to the Queen Areli." She replied.
"ARELI IS ALIVE AND HERE?" I shouted.
"No, sire. But I can help you to find her. I also come from the time you were made the king by Lord Karalos. This somehow made a connection to the aspiring god of this world. After his cries stopped, the world started to tremble and by going in search of my Queen, I fell through a hole that made me appear here. I assume the same for you, sire." She said.
"Kind of, but a bit complicated from my perspective. Now how can you help me about this situation." I questioned.
" I will take to my world, The Lands Between, where anything can happen, anything is possible but by the cost of something valuable in that place. The place was the home of the God Gaia." She paused.
"I want to know more of it, continue…" I answered with curiosity.
"There was once a man in that place, a tarnished man, from outer worlds, named Loux. He used to protect the lands with his army until Gaia arrived. She took control of the reality of the place. She needed to build an army of demigods, so she married Loux and they had 4 children. 2 daughters and 2 sons. Two of the daughters were very loyal to their mother. The older brother, Ajax, became the general of her army while the youngest son was left out behind. But he was the one people loved the most, the people called him Alaric the Forsaken. He was also the beloved child of Gaia.
But Gaia never truly loved Loux, according to myths people made up. One night Gaia leaves her home and goes to another town far away and married a magician named Merlin. They had 3 children, 2 twin sisters and one boy. But all they brought was chaos to this world. Alaric stood forward to heal the world. In the act, one of the twin sisters got killed. The other sister sends an army of cursed assassins to kill Alaric, which they were successful of. From then a new order of darkness took place in the world. Gaia, saddened by the death of her son, isolated herself in the realm of Gods, where only the chosen ones could find her.
Now, I have heard that the corpse of Alaric turned into a branch of a tree, so if we heal the tree, we have a chance to bring back Areli. I know it looks a lot confusing but just stay with me."
I had no choice but to put my whole trust in her. "Alright, but we need to be quick, as I have to help King Fotis here…". She nodded her head and told me to meet her at the portal behind the castle. I started to have some thoughts in my mind… am I becoming a slave to my past… should I stop worrying about them and keep moving forward… or should I just kill Lucius by myself again…
I took my sword and walked slowly to the back of the castle. I see Fia standing with a magical blue staff and behind her was a large portal reflecting the greenery and
