Chapter 4 - chapter 4

The Prince was indeed one that had never been seen before; he could do many magical things that amazed many but even so their were many people who became wary of him. Many tried plotting against him but he was always a step ahead of them and so the Prince continued to grow and became more powerful. When he reached his teenage years he had become a powerful man who commanded respect from all kingdoms. As years continued he realised that he was not getting old while he had watched his parents and siblings growing of old age and finally die.

Before his mother passed away she told him of a prophecy that was prophecied a long time ago of a king that will be born of special abilities and will rule for eternity. His mother never believed in the prophecy but ever since she saw him she knew that he was the one. His mother asked him to be happy no matter how many people leave him he has to make sure that when they are still alive he'll cherish every moment spent together.

The Prince kept the words of his mother in his heart but as time went by he was filled with loneliness and heartache for those he had lost. Over the years the Prince married many women and had children. Those children were born with special abilities just like him but their lifespan was not as long as his.

In order for people not to question his immortality he moved to distant places from time to time until one day he met a woman that moved his cold heart. She was beautiful, kind and passionate but she was cast out of her home for being different. The woman was able to cast runes on herself and others. She could manipulate her environment, cast spells, heal the sick with just a wave of her hands, she could trap enemies and many other things. Her gifts were considered as demonic by her people and therefore cast her out of her home.

Though what her family and villagers did was wrong, she didn't hate them. She moved away to other villages and cities and would often go back home from time to time. When the Prince learnt of the cruelty of her family he wanted to slaughter the whole village but to his surprise she told him that everyone from that time had already passed away.

The Prince pursued the woman but she refused to be with him. But after some time she accepted his love and they got married. After a long time they both realised of the passage of time for others but they remained the same. The Prince and his wife were very happy at the sudden discovery and so they lived their lives happily with no worries of loneliness ever again.

After many years they were attacked by mysterious people who could attack with energy. Though the Prince and his wife had mastered some of these skills it wasn't in a superior level. The Prince was held captive and imprisoned in a powerful formation never to see the light. His wife was killed right in front of him but what the enemy didn't know was that his wife had a special soul and the moment she dies her soul will disintegrate into wisps of tiny fragments and as long as those wisps of her soul survive she will be reborn.

Since the Prince knew of this he did not fall into despair but was waiting patiently for her to be reborn. All these years the Prince was continously improving himself in order to take revenge when he was released. The Prince was a very powerful person even though he was imprisoned he found a way to connect with his descendants and guided them to one of his secret places that had been fortified with powerful runes that kept it hidden. He then spoke to them of a prophecy of a savior being born. Therefore his descendants were busy training and building a strong kingdom awaiting their King's return."

Diana was quietly listening to the story. She couldn't imagine the lives of the two before they met each other. How could one continue to live when you loose the ones you love most. She remembered her loving parents and her unborn child whom she knew that he was no more and she felt unimaginable pain in her heart. If she was the one could she have continued to live happily? As if reading her mind he answered her.

Levi: "of course you will continue to live happily. It will be hard when you're alone but if you have someone that you share the same burden with then you'll always find a way to be happy."

Diana nodded unconsciously. She remained quiet for a bit then asked,

Diana: "why are you telling me all this?"

Levi: "Diana you have a great responsibility before you. You are one of the chosen ones to go and retrieve certain important fragments from seven people. When you meet this seven people and are supposed to get the fragment you'll naturally know what to do. If you don't take the other fragments you'll die and the other person will take your fragment. In this situation is either to kill or be killed. The others have already started to pursue each other so you have to be extra careful."

Diana: "so what your saying is that whether I want it or not these other women will come for me because I have a fragment with me?"

Levi: "yes."
