When they arrived at the gate, they hid for a while to observe the surrounding if ever someone was nearby spying on them. After for like five minutes of waiting, they concluded that no one's around and it was now safe for them to move forward. Still careful as they have been, the sneaked through more narrow alleys which according to the young man was less crowded most of the time. So far, nothing happened. But still they have to pass the last one at the end of maze like alleys. This one was the closest to the shore. Before they entered the last alley, they planned to just walk and act normally while simply observing around to avoid looking suspicious. Taking a deep breath, they mande a turn on the left. Once they arrived at the entrance, the sea breeze mixed with dust greeted them, filling their nostrils. The stone walls stood sturdy in both sides enclosing the alley, were old and gray with minimal cracks marked on its rough surface. As w

Tarah couldn't fathom the fear that she was feeling right now. She wanted to run but her knees remained buried on the sand. It was like her body never get tired of the extreme feeling that had stayed with her for almost an hour. Until now, it felt like it hasn't calmed down a little. Instead, it got even worst, depriving her to relax for a second. The giant octopus was gone now. But how come there were these two people coming towards her? Where did they came from? As far as she can remember, she was all alone after the giant octopus gobbled down the woman she saved from drowning. No one knows. Suddenly, Tarah's vision darkened and the world spinned before her eyes. Coldness enveloped her whole body and seeped deeper into her bones. She froze. Her heartbeat was gradually skipping until it gave her shortness of breath. With a few more gasps of air, her spine and extremities felt wobbly, sending numbness throughout every nerve endings of her body. Before she knew it, the darkness had

'Could it be that she found it at the shore when she was looking for Tarah?' There's a high possibility that Master Ariah found it there. Does this also mean that Master Ariah knew about what it was for? Ferlah was sure that if it would be someone else who found it, they wouldn't care to pick it up as it resembles like that of a child's toy. But it was already dark when Master Ariah came to them. How come she was able to find it? It won't glow in dark either. 'Hmm...maybe she had been looking for Tarah before the sun set. And she accidentally found it there.' "That is yours?" Tarah suddenly asked, still in awe at the object. "It...it has turned into white." Ferlah was brought back to reality. Now she really have to get the antidote for Master Ariah. Ferlah's knowledge from the past isn't enough to go on in the present. She needs someone who knew alot about the present. And it's none other than Master Ariah

"Do you think you can defeat me, orphan?". Purple Smoke said as she slashed the chains on her hand towards Ferlah. "Your master just died without laying a finger on me! How pitiful!" Ferlah's jaw clenched and her eyes narrowed upon hearing the word 'orphan' from the opponent. Although, Ferlah never knew who really was Purple Smoke because she never heard about her before, she was surprised that she even knew the fact that she was an orphan whom Master Lyrah of White Kingdom took in as a child. 'Who exactly are you, Purple Smoke?' "If there's some who can get out of here alive, I will make sure that it should be me!" Ferlah dodged the swooshing chain that was supposed to hit her on the neck by docking her head. And then, she released one of her gigantic tentacles from the back, charging at full force. "You always love to dream, huh? You're exactly a copy of your pitiful master!" Purple Smoke guffawed as she easily avoided Fer

After King Marcellus was blinded by the power that Purple Smoke gave, he went back to Saortias as a completely different person–more cruel, more arrogant and more desperate as ever. He totally forgot that Purple Smoke was his real enemy. Instead, his hatred and jealousy had ascended to the highest level. Once he stepped a foot on his palace, he had sworn to his men that he will be joining Purple Smoke to gather armies and allies on every corner of the world. Even though his men also had the same characteristics as him, the sudden decision still brought them into a moment of shock. All they thought was their king would surely go against Purple Smoke and become a hero to everyone above all the kingdoms. But it turned out differently–their king even took shelter under the enemy's protection who killed many of their fellow men. However, despite their reluctance to go to war side by side with the enemy-turned-ally, they couldn't voice out for King Marcellus' au
