Deep into the Northern land was a valley inhabitants by indigenous individuals.
They call this valley, the Valley of death.
Instead of practicing the art of magic or learning the way of Knights that the kingdom of jinx takes pride of, they practice something they called the art of martial taming.
A combination of martial arts and taming Monsta Gu - a small species of monster that have a bit of consciousness with the same traits of those real huge monster out there.
Like a duplication of inherite good and evilness of a monster.
That place has become the only mysterious land in jinx kingdom, that even if the Emperor said to its people that the north are at his mercy, no one would say it actually is.
After all, the north was an independent land that use martial sect as its ruling system, that even the royal blood takes awareness of dealing with.
However, its title of being the only mysterious land of jinx kingdom will finally be over.
Because in this time and place, the sect will finally open its door to those human who bore the talent to be one such as martial artists.
Inside a close door room, a shadow of an old bearded man, bearing the might of being the head sect of the only martial clan with a martial cloth like that of snow are currently sitting face at its window while sipping his favourite ginger tea.
Another presence of a young maiden stop at the front of his door. Bearing the title of the only remaining disciples of the head sects.
"Master, this disciples has come to heed your words."
"Its good that you come."
"This disciple won't dare not, when master's word are as important as the heaven's will."
"You still talk those lines, but I called you not to hear those words."
"Master, forgive this disciple for its near sighted, not able to see the importance of time."
The sect head sigh.
Upon hearing this, the girl began to tell.
"Just tell this disciple what to do and this disciple will make sure to comply with the power she got."
"Surely you could only do this..."
Go and lead the new and old disciples of our martial clan sect, heed every corner of Jinx kingdom, and let them know these words of mine.
A week prior from now, the norther land will open its door to those thirteen to eighteen years of ages that are interested in learning the innate martial taming of the north.
Whether it is of royal blood, noble blood, or a common blood. In this sect of mine, who value talent more than the status quo of their lives, will accept them without an ounce of discrimination.
But they should remember, only those who qualify can enter martial sect. And to those who qualify can be called a disciple once they break their attachment of their usual life.
If not, they should forget on even stepping foot on my land.
From this point on, the kingdom of jinx was bombarded by the sudden announcement of the Martial Sects Head.
Those with interest, celebrate on a chance to change their life.
"The time I become renowned has finally appeared."
"I shall become the strongest martial king in the world."
And those who got curious try to seek the reason of this sudden change.
"What does that man plan for doing this?"
"Why only now when those indigenous people has been hiding on their own freezing land?"
"I better see the roots of this or else I won't even call myself the man who live for entertainment."
Nevertheless, this commotion has disturb the not so peace of Jinx Kingdom which also led for the king to think twice of his decision.
"With this much commotion, will I find my way back to your side?"
Thump!
Inside the realm of consciousness, Alisha Duskmoon, whose soul was starting to shatter are wandering endlessly deep into the pitch of darkness.
Slowly, as she wander, a shards of memories began to be seen.
"Alisha? You named your child Alisha when she isn't even fit to be of noble blood? Are you perhaps crazy?"
Ah, he is my father.
"My lord, she may be a daughter born from wedlock but don't forget she is your child."
And she is my mom.
"Yeah, right. If you didn't seduce me in the first place, she wouldn't have been born to begin. And now, my wife was blaming me for having a mistress. I couldn't even go to see my favourite dancer at the night house because of you. You think I would be happy to accept her?"
"I wasn't asking you to accept her, my lord. But I'm asking you to show her mercy. Instead, I'm willing to pay my sin for bearing your child without your consent."
Ah, I remember now, these are my early memories.
"Fine, I will gladly accept what you desire. A week for now, go to the Duskmoon anex building, leave that thing behind and let her know that if she show her face at the doors of the Duskmoon kingdom, I will personally make her death."
The three kingdom - Jinx of Human Land, Mermaid and Siren of the Flowery Island, and Duskmoon of Vamp's.
My father the king of Duskmoon, ruled thousands to millions of bats. He was held the most noble of all bats.
And my mother was, but just a maid in the castle who wanted to bear the son of the king.
Sadly, instead of a son, the one that got born was me, her daughter.
"If I have bore him a son, this won't even need to happen. I wouldn't need to sacrifice my life, I would have become the madam of the Duskmoon kingdom. Yet, this child was born? If this my outcome?"
From the beginning, I always carry his words, as bats are known to possess intelligence as early as they are born.
I never try to comeback to that place like he wanted to, or did I seek justice to my mother's unseen death.
I just flea with all my life, and decided to migrate at jinx kingdom.
Life are full of struggle, specially for someone who just got thrown when they were just born.
Because it wasn't certain if you will be able to live with the limited things you can do.
Still, I'm glad I survived.
Yet, why did I see that memories now that I'm at the end of my life?
I just know that I flea because I'm scared.
Because I'm always being hunted by her words.
"Did you hear that Alisha? Your father said she would spare you at the mercy of my death. That he would accept my wishful plea. Ahh, I'm so happy~ even at the end of this life, he still choose to end me with his might. So Alisha, always be thankful of your father's magnanimity, if it's not because of him, you won't even see the ray of the day. Do you hear me? I said, always thank him... always! So remember this, never show your face in front of him. Never-ever show even your shadow at the border of Duskmoon. Run, Alisha... run at the place you wouldn't be seen... RUN!!"
Its still painful to remember.
Why did I even run in the first place? Just because I was told to?
Nah, I'm sure being scared wasn't the only reason why.
Hah, I can't remember.
Not that it matters now.
After all, they say once you feel death is approaching, you will remember even the deepest memories you are hidding.
It seems the only regrets I have now was this births of mine.
The matter of my child, birl has been done and further that would be decided on his strength alone.
I have done what being a mother is, and for sure he would understand it.
But, what does his words even mean when I fall deep into this abyss?
"Just rest, let your child handle this problem."
All of a sudden, my surrounding lightened up and like a string of fate, three kinds of string in a colour of black, green, and gold began to march their way around.
I just stared, I don't know why I didn't try to run, I just felt that those string was what I needed the most right now.
Upon touching my soul, the strings began to circle it, creating a cocoon of my size.
I was soon, envelop by its threads and slowly, I began to feel as if I was bathing in a warm nectar.
My soul are starting to heal, the cracks began to be fix.
Now I see why Birl said those words, he seems unable to forgive me for leaving so he decided to do this.
That kid, really...
Thump!
