Semua Bab XERRA: Bab 41 - Bab 50

My eyes fell to the Creyer that the King didn’t go without. I presumed that his powers also came from that mysterious staff. It glittered despite its dark color. It was because of the diamonds, which were one of the components that the staff was made up of. Well, from what I heard of.“What’s this commotion about?” the King gently asked that it was almost impossible to hear.The two warriors let go of me. I shook my arms once and slightly bowed to him just like the others did. Then I looked at him straight in the eye. “I-I had to talk to you about something…”“We have nothing more to discuss, Xerra. Whether it is about your mother, your sister, or about yourself, there’s nothing left to talk about,” the King said with a low tone but it was filled with danger. Then he left with the palace healer who gave me a warning look before following the King.I followed them with my eyes as the warriors bowed to the King respectfully. I took a deep breath. I had t

My jaw dropped from what I heard. His face became clearer to me now. I swallowed hard while I shook my head, still. He was truly that man that my mother loved back then, after she gave up waiting on my father who she also loved dearly. I looked at him again.“B-but you’re supposed to be dead!” I got confused. Wasn’t this Uzob, after all? If not, then what was this place? I looked around trying to understand how I got here.“It isn’t important right now, Xerra. You must get out of this place as soon as possible!” His voice was urgent.“B-but you know that my mother died, don’t you? And how did you know?” I wanted to confirm it to him.“Your mother died, yes. And it’s my fault.” His voice was regretful. Still, he was in agony. I think it wasn’t only because of the thing that bound his forehead, hands, and ankles but also of grief and guilt—it seemed.“What? But I thought—” I got even more confused.“She did everything she could to become The Queen o

I clenched my teeth and closed the gate with a loud bang. Everyone stopped in their tracks upon hearing it and directly looked at me. However, I didn’t care. I just stared into a blank space with my fists in tight balls on either side of me.“Sorry for that. She didn’t mean it,” Kalith apologized for me instead. “Please, go on.”The parade continued on toward the palace hall. Others murmured, criticizing my behavior. Others were confused why acted that way. But I noticed that my sister did not even look back.‘Why? What’s with her? I don’t understand what’s going on here!’ I felt my eyes change, and by the look of Kalith’s face, it was positive. I did change. However, I transformed back to my normal Aryan self when I heard that familiar voice.“Aren’t you going to open the gate for the Grand Crown Prince?” It was Daraton who demanded in a tight voice.‘Great! He’s here! But then it wasn’t a happy occasion. This is definitely the most devastating

There were four female healers present in the room. Ulf was also there; however, it seemed that he was merely there to oversee the process. He was surprised though at first to see me but Domicos explained it to him. He nodded then and looked away.It was my turn to be examined. I went inside a cubicle that was almost as large as my room in the quarters. I created a barrier around myself so that the negative energy from the Aryan healer won’t contaminate me. She was taken aback for a moment for what I did. I just gave her a dry smile and didn’t explain myself. She took off my uniform using her powers and I was bared to her. Ponpon groaned when he landed on the floor face down but was ignored.The healer, named Caayyas, used some gadget that I’d never seen before. I probed into her mind as she was almost too close to me while the disc-like gadget scanned my naked body. I wanted to know what the King planned against me. But I almost gasped but I held it in. It

Other elite warriors who were not expecting it were caught by the smoke. They already coughed and groaned. Well, I could just imagine how they feel now, as I experienced it at the Banatan. I knew they felt like dying right now.I transformed into my Arcturian self, using my black aura to cleanse the smoke. As soon as the air was cleared out, my fellow elite warriors that were affected got back their strength and were healed. Then they used their clear helmets as well.They dashed toward the Black Forest where blazing arrows kept coming at us. It was like more than hundreds of them. However, the elite warriors easily managed to parry them now and those were rendered useless. I could now make out the people who were as black as the black trees of the Black Forest. No wonder why it was called Black Forest and why their hiding place couldn’t be found even after numerous raids that the King had made all these years. Thus, only the innocents were killed. That was indeed a pity
