MERCIA
105. Burying Dreams.
Proxima Armeda Shrine.
"Aunt Nefia, Aunt Myla, what do you think of this new Armeda temple?" ask Aruna.
"I didn't expect to finish this fast" said Nefia.
"the construction of this temple was done by three civilizations, the earth, Enigma and Proxima" Aruna said.
"You are destined to be the best Armeda leader Aruna has ever seen."
"Don't praise me too much Aunt Myla, I'm nothing compared to you two."
"True aunt, do not praise Aruna too much, later just praise her, can-can be difficult soul mate because of big head." said Aira.
"Moor..." Myla looked a little upset.
tock.tok..
"Come in..!"
A well-built man entered the room, he bowed respectfully.
"What's up, Jonan?" ask Aruna.
"Sorry chief, there's a woman looking for you."
"Women? what's name?" ask Aruna.
"The woman claimed to be Elda, she was wearing a red protective suit."
Aruna flinched. "where is she now?"
"Head he's waiting by the fountain pool, we..."
Without waiting for Jonan to finish speaking, Aruna's body appeared in a blue protective suit and her right hand grasped a golden spear, she ran towards the balcony and jumped towards the fountain pool, leaving Aira and the others full of question marks.
"Airas.. Jonan.. Why are you still here? hurry up." said Myla.
Aira nodded as she ran towards the balcony with a protective suit and gold chain attached to her body.
"The fountain is so beautiful, I don't know why I feel at peace" Elda said as he felt the presence of Aruna behind him.
"Why did you come to this place? are you disappointed I'm alive?"
"I don't want to kill you."
"Don't try to harass Armeda, or you'll regret it" said Aira who had just arrived, followed by Jonan, Nefia, Myla and dozens of clan members.
Elda turned his body, he realized he was being surrounded.
"All hold on, Back off." Aruna ordered.
"Aruna don't think you're.."
Aruna raised her index finger as a signal to Aira to be still.
Aira was silently holding herself back, she stared intently at the figure of the woman named Elda in front of her.
"What do you want?" ask Aruna.
"I'm coming in peace, I just want to talk four-eyes."
"Well, come with me."
"Aruna wait, we won't let you just be with her" said Nefia.
"Then it's just here" Elda said.
"All of you back off!" said Aruna.
"Sheel.."
"Aira I am the head of Armeda did you not hear my orders?" aruna.
"Sorry chairman." Aira was shocked to hear Aruna's screams.
They all ended up retreating twenty meters away.
"Aira.pretty, Aruna will be fine."
About twenty minutes later they saw Aruna talking to the woman, until the woman named Elda left. Aruna walked towards Nefia, Myla and Aira.
"Whoever annoys the woman I swear I will kill her, because if not me, Mercia will kill you" Aruna said with a trembling voice and teary eyes.
Nefia, Myla and Aira were shocked to hear Aruna's words.
A few moments later.
tock.tok..
"Now.."
"Aruna we need an explanation from you" said Nefia.
"The woman is a Phoenix."
"Phoenix?" Nefia, Myla and Aira were again shocked.
Myla finally understood, because she knew how much Aruna felt about Mercia.
"Aruna you have a great soul, I know how it feels to be willing to bury your dreams, I still support you" Myla said.
"What are you talking about Myla?" ask Nefia.
"Nephia, Aruna has given up her dreams to reveal the truth.I know her dreams, but I don't know what the truth is that you're telling me."
"Aruna, didn't your dream come true? Has not Armeda united?" ask Nefia.
"Your dream was with Mercia, wasn't it?" ask Aira.
Aruna looked at Aira, she nodded slowly and lowered her head. Nefia began to understand.
"Didn't you not believe the prophecy, why did you give up? aren't you a fighter?" ask Aira.
"Aira stop it" Myla said.
"I had doubts about not even believing the prophecy, but after first meeting the woman, I believed her, and I knew you liked her, too, and we both will never have it."
"They're both meant to be together."
"No. You're wrong! what is meant is that the fate of the two of them together is to free Proxima from demonic forces." - Ara.
"Airas.. Phoenix is Julia."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY..? JULIA..?!" aruna's words were like lightning striking her.
"No way... Mercia said Julia had been murdered."
"I know.. Mercia thought like that, but she never buried her body, Julia's body disappeared in her arms, Aira I've seen Phoenix's face."
"If it's true what you're saying, why doesn't he recognize me?"
"Don't you think maybe he has a similar face?"
"Aira also has a twin sister who lives in Proxima, her name is Amara the daughter of the dragons."
"Wait.. dragon princess? isn't that the token that Mercia showed at that time?" ask Nefia.
"Right auntie, when I told her who Phoenix was, she showed me the token."
"It's impossible.if Julia was from Proxima of course I could feel her power" said Aira, she was so heavy to hear.
"Mercia said he was not from Proxima, nor was he from earth."
"Quite Aruna, I don't want to hear it anymore" Aira said and walked away.
"Aira.." said Aruna slowly.
**
Innodale.
"The devil's book has appeared?" Minerva jerks.
"Son't you ever think about studying the book" Freya said.
"Freya you think I'm stupid? we're not from a black witch family."
"Hmm.. but how did the book come to earth?" ask Minerva.
"it doesn't matter, what matters is how we destroy the book" Helena said.
reposeful.
A man walked up to the three of them.
"Lady Helena, a woman named Amara wants to see you" Oswyn bowed.
"Bring her into my room I'll meet her there" said Helena.
Oswyn nodded, bowed and left.
"I want you to find a way as soon as possible, Mercia can fight anyone but the witches with her black magic" Helena said.
"We understand" said Freya.
Helena left them both.
"Freya what should we do?"
"So why ask me? I'm just learning white magic, I just found out there's a demon book."
"You are. Let's go to Gesorra's place, maybe we find something there."
**
"You looking for me?" ask Helena.
"Are you Helena?"
"Do I know you?"
"No. but we know the same people" said Amara.
"Who do you mean?"
"Mercia."
Helena and Amara stared at each other, observing with a sense of jealousy that the two of them were trying to hide.
"What did you mean to meet me?"
"Mercia's in danger, we need to help her immediately."
"so you need my help to help Mercia? tell me, and then you can come back, I'll help her immediately" Helena said indifferently.
"By the way how could Mercia be in danger? aren't you able to look after her?"
Amara was eager to tear the mouth of the woman before her, yet she was still able to calmly restrain her emotions.
"It's because of a stupid witch he met not long ago but couldn't help him fight black magic, I doubt if he was a witch."
Helena's ears were hot to hear it. she wanted to reply immediately but Amara spoke again.
"Stop this nonsense, the more time is wasted, the more Mercia's life is threatened."
"What's going on?" helena asked while pouring wine in a glass.
"Mercia went into the demon's portal."
Prang...!
Helena's hand trembled, the glass in her hand dropped.
"The demon mortal."
"How can he. hmm.. Some time ago Mercia came to see me, she asked about black magic, before she came I felt bad things were going to happen, I didn't think it was about her."
"What do you mean?"
"There's no time to tell it, we have to get going."
"Wait for us to see someone again" said Amara.
"someone? who?"
"Sylvan."
"Sylvana's? Dark Elves?"
"You know him?"
"He's at Moonheaven, not Proxima, why do you want to see him?" ask Helena.
"I don't want to see him, Mercia asked me to meet you and the elf, moments before he was sucked into the portal."
"If you're the only one to see him, I have to do something."
"Helena, if it wasn't for Mercia I wouldn't be cooperating with you or that elf."
"So am I!" Helena looked at Amara, now the two were staring at each other intently.
"Listen well, Mercia is mine, I promised to stand by her, even our bodies are fused together, don't ever think you can have it, every inch of her body I've marked it" Helena said.
Amara could no longer hold back her anger, she pointed her wand at Helena's face. Helena swiftly caught the wand with both hands a few centimeters before it hit her face, with the portal emerging from behind Helena moving towards Amara, the two are now in a forest outside Innodale.
Amara pulls her wand but Helena keeps it, Amara blows her right palm, Helena strikes her left palm.
Duarr's...!
The explosion occurred when the two palms met, the bodies of both of them bouncing.
