Chapter 453 - Is Not Fair!

"Lorenna?" Girsha was stunned "What she got to do with this?"

Huo Long shakes his head slowly with a saddened expression he speaks weakly "Everything…"

"Tell me everything you know!" girsha become impatient as the truth slowly to reveal.

"I can only tell you what Arthea told me," said Huo Long "You know Lorenna is special, she is someone who was born under the chaos star, you know what that means"

Girsha nods, a child who born under the Chaos star only happens once in a millennium. What make this child special is because they can change the course of faith, they have the ability to peek on the future of their loved one and changed it by her will but she can only do it once in her lifetime but that also with heavy consequences.

"Who's faith she wants to change, is it Lory?"

"And her brother, The Prince" Huo Long voice becomes heavy as he imagines the pain of the Queen must going through, not even him could bear such a faith.

"Lucas?"

"Arthea said for thousands of years in Lucient history there was never been twins born in their lineage, the line of Lucient is always been thin so twins have never existed before, when the twins born the Queen peek to their future and there she saw, the Sun and the Moon… " said Huo Long.

"Lory said her mother used to call the twins like that, what's that supposed to mean?"

"When the sun rises the moon will fall and when the moon bloom the sun dimmed, when the moon and sun rises together the darkness will cover the world. the prophecy can't be clearer. For one to exist the other must disappeared….that was the prophecy Queen Lorenna saw in her dream" 

"That….what's that supposed to mean" Girsha can't believe it, he won't want to believe it.

"If The princess survives then the prince has to die, and if the prince wants to survive….the princess shall die. one cannot exist with the others, that is the prophecy of the Sun and the Moon, Queen Lorenna was forced to choose between her children…"

Girsha staggered his heart feel heavy, her little feet can't sustain his body the bird plop on the grass while Huo long resumes his story "Then the Queen and king seeking for the Seeress, the Queen begs for her help even the great king was kneeled" Huo long let out heavy heaved, how many kings would discard his pride for his children, in thousand years of his life Huo Long only knew one king able to do that, and that King is Marcus.

"Is Arthea help her?" girsha lift his head, he was doubtful that the Seeress would interfere in human faith.

"I don't know what the King and Queen said to persuade her but Arthea said the Queen will grant her wish," said Huo Long.

"What kinda wish?" Girsha frown.

"That…I do not know…"

Inside the golden pagoda, Lory squints her eyes from too much bling, she wishes she has her sunglasses cause this is gold is blinding her. Zhao Li Xin steps down from the stairs he already wears his normal black robes from the top to the bottom, he is such feast for the sore eyes.

He patted his hand on Lory's head "Too much gold?" he guessed.

Lory nods "Who's crazy people who made this?" she complains.

"Well, is not a human…it's that old Lizard?" Zhao Li Xin tilted his head slightly.

Huo Long cheery face flash on her mind, she unconsciously chuckles "He is amazing, because of him my Dragon phobia is completely healed"

"You got Dragon phobia?" Zhao Li Xin just got new information from her.

Lory shrug as she smiles towards him "A little…." She downcast by the painful memory of her father and his beloved home.

"Would you share your story, I want to understand your pain…" he c.a.r.e.s.ses her cheeks gently.

Lory takes a seat near the window, the gentle breeze blow her hair, her purple eyes gazing to the horizon watching the eternal red sky in a distance. Zhao Li Xin take a seat next to him he waiting patiently, he knew it's not easy for her to tell about her past.

"Where should I begin…." She mutters while her eyes fixed on the view outside, she frowns as she tries to choose her words "Let's start…when the miasma takes over the sky and hide the sun, make the world fall in internal darkness…" her fingers rubbing her pink lips as she continues "No…its start with the earthquake that shook the entire verrion, I was in a dinner at that time. The ground-shaking so violently it causes the tall building crumbles like sand and follow by deep cracked in the ground surface then finally the loud-shattering sounds come out of nowhere, when I look up I see the giant shadow hovered above the city"

"What is it?" Zhao Li Xin asks.

Lory was lost in her thought, her expression filled with horror "The black dragon awakened, Nazareth...." she whispers. Lory take a deep breath "Soon the sky filled with thick miasma, it's so thick it blocked the sun completely" slowly she closed her eyes as her memory recalled that day as if it happened yesterday. Zhao Li Xin grasps her hand the warmth from his hand awaked her for her stupor.

She weakly smiles "The world is panic, Every country fall in chaos, they summoned every scientist and mages in every kingdom to find the explanation but everything no avail. Then the day changes to week, and week change to month then to years"

Lory glance at Zhao Li Xin "Do you know what happens when the sun is gone…."

Zhao Li Xin turns quiet, he sure nothing good would happen in that situation as a matter a fact he can't begin to imagine it. what kinda chaos had happened in her world.

Lory clenched his hand "First the temperature drop the plant wither and the crops are failed, fresh food becomes scarce and people become panic, some city who is more advanced in technology able to maintain the situation for a while but after a year everything becomes much harder"

"Your kingdom…" Zhao Li Xin anxiously asks.

Lory shakes her head "My kingdom technology exceeds any other kingdom. It's should be fine for my kingdom to maintain the situation at least for five years but…..Nazareth attack my kingdom, and not just him he brings the horde of the beast to trampled our Kingdom, I don't know how our protective barrier broke, I thought my kingdom was impenetrable, my father is invincible, so I don't go home immediately, but I'm wrong..... I'm so wrong" Lory remember at that time she drives like crazy to the king city, she was obstructed with the horde of the beast at the freeways, she had to jump from her car before it crashed and burned

Using her wings she flies to the King city Herriond but what welcomed her is not the beautiful city she used to know but the scorching land burn in flame and her people screamed in frenzy "I was too late…." Lory covers her face with her palms as she choked on her tears.

"My father…I should have stayed with him, dying with him will be so much better than face this world without him but he didn't let me…he wants me to protect my people, he wants me to remember my duty as a princess as a Lucient!" she hollered in anguish, she still remembers the hopelessness she felt that day when she watched her father figured disappeared in a distance, she clenched her skirt tightly and tears fall on her hand. 

"So I left…I have to, I need to do what my father, my king told me to do because I am Lorient Jean Frau Lucient, I'm the King's daughter!" she screams in frustration as she hit her c.h.e.s.t strongly.

She closes her eyes and tears stream down on her face "And he died…my father is gone, my kingdom is gone, half my people died…and I…..I lost everything.." she weakly said, her back hunched as her head hanging low, He never saw her look so frail and defeated. he pulls her slender body in his embrace he put his arms around her like a protective cocoon, he wanted to protect her so bad from all the sadness and grievances she had been through.

"You are not alone, I'll be here….forever" he whispers on her.

Lory circles her hand on his back, she holds on to him as if her life depends on it. Zhao Li Xin ached even more, how much pain she hides in her heart, why God's so cruel to this pure, innocent woman, she doesn't deserve any of this she never hurt anyone, she never schemed or killed innocent people, she always kindhearted, forgiving to anyone even to the people who don't deserve it, so why she must be suffered, this is not fair!

"I'll protect you Lory, no matter what!" he not just make promised to her but also himself.

Lory shakes her head "I don't need protection!" she shouted then she raised her head slowly "Just don't leave me...ever" she begged.

"Never!" he firmly said "We will always be together, in life or death"
