The dawn was over, the darkness scattered, cold wind howls, ferrets, raccoons, rabbits, crickets, and all kinds of insects and small animals in the woods crawled to build back their own homes. The forests in all parts of the five kingdoms was untouched by the tsunami. Only the river of Mt. Filli was empty, the soil cracked, traced, and dried out like a deserted path surrounding the territory of the five kingdoms. The townspeople who were gathered inside the castle of Aldon were quiet, wanting to go out to see what they can witness from the darkness. Are they fine now? Can they return to their own homes? King Devion and Queen Rui together with the maids and palace guards of Thamali were under the care of Aldonian Maids. They offered the royalties a private room to stay in for the rest of the night. Townspeople of the two kingdoms are helping each other, Aldonians inviting Thamalians to their own homes for a stay.“I’m so thankful that Aldonians are so hospitable,” Queen Rui

The magic book opened on its own, Rico and Niffa patiently wait for whatever the blank page will going to write, they were seated, together, at the long wooden table surrounded by the wall of books. A light was formed, and the empty page was filled with letterings in a freestyle script carved within the thin sheet of paper. They narrowed their eyes trying to read the first letter, it was too bright, and the lettering was almost as white as the paper. The light vanished and the letters turned into tinted black, thick and printed, not written by a hand. The whole page was filled, it says,‘The monsters, the sleeping monsters awakened, thee who are royalties’ soul sealed within it. Three folks from outside, step into the forbidden soil and cast away the spirit planted within each monster. A fox man releases thy soul of the red flame royalties, a lone man releases thy soul of the black flame royalty and the green flame royalty releases thy soul of the once beholder of thy flames.’Niffa w

After lunch, the sun was up making the cows and goats hide under the huge trees on every corner of the farm. Maru stands on the wooden platform balcony-like outside the wooden house. The air was different, it was warm, clean as if he was sniffing peace mixed with how he felt lately. He was in love which makes him unable to go back to do his obligation as a prince. He watches the goats run back to their cage as the other worker on the farm run towards them with his stick. He wonders why Liana had to go to the castle to work instead of staying in a peaceful place like this.“Isn’t it peaceful in here?” the voice of the man from before asks. He look behind him and he saw the man in his brown clothe with his dark pants folded up to his knees. The man removes his brown cap and wipes his sweaty forehead with the white towel hanging on his right shoulder. He stands beside Maru.“Uhm, yes it is sir,” Maru said stammering.“Who are you to my daughter?” he suddenly asks that making Maru widen h

Not the end yet, the end of Geuron’s mind-reading power session for everyone. As they both return upstairs, across the dark hallway, and into that room once again, he can almost hear murmurs of thoughts passing through his ears. It was so loud, the murmurs are like buzzing bees that none of the words they are uttering are understandable. Geuron covered his ears as he crouch.“Geuron? What’s the matter?” Therens ask looking at him from below as he should supposed to hold the door knob.“Should I open the door?” Therens ask one more time.“I don’t know, my mind is uncontrollably reading a lot of thoughts. It’s so painful to hear,” Geuron answered with pain in his voice.“Okay, then let’s stay here for a-”Therens’ words were cut, and the door suddenly opened. He can see who it was even when the room was dim and the lamp was too far from them, it was General Malta.“Therens?” the general uttered, he was as shocked as he is.“I suppose to look for you and the young man as well,” the gener

Half day of travel, it was afternoon when they got to the forest of Aldon and crossing across the river outside of Aldon.“It was tiring and hot. Can I bath for a while?” Geuron ask panting while looking straight to the river. The water was low yet flowing fast, so clear that they can see the grayish stones inside the water.“That sounds refreshing but we have to go,” Therens said as he handed him his water canteen covered in leather.“Thanks.” Geuron uttered and poured the water into his face.“Hey, you have to share,” Maru said running towards them.“It’s fine, you have plenty of water around you,” Merfoy said as his eyes avert on the river.“You mean we can?” Geuron ask. Merfoy smiled and nodded.“Yes! Thanks Merfoy.” He quickly run towards the river while taking off his dirty white shirt. He jump off the river with his dark pants with the water splash across his entire body.“This is fun! You have to try it!” he shouted towards them.“I thought we need to get to your place as soon
