MERCIA
21. The Borders of the Two Worlds.


This morning was very bright, warm and soothing, at least that's how Julia felt. upon returning from the Julia river found August still asleep in the tent. Julia prefers to make porridge for breakfast as well as hot tea.


"May I ask for a bowl of porridge?" the voice of a woman.


Julia was surprised, she looked for the source of the sound turned out to be three meters in front of her. she was surprised how the woman could appear arrived without her knowing. Julia observed the woman a little strangely.


The woman was about 25 years old wearing a king's princess-style clothes, seen a blue diamond that seemed to stick to her forehead.


"please happen to cook more" said Julia.


The woman sat in front of Julia.


"are you a king's daughter or are you a cosplay participant lost in this forest?" asked Julia to hand over a bowl of porridge to the woman


"not both" answered the woman, his hand receiving the porridge given by Julia.


"what's your name? ask Julia.


"i have many names, Julia your porridge is so good" said the woman.


Julia was surprised the woman knew his name.


"who are you, why do you know my name?" ask Julia.


"i really like this porridge, I can finish that one pot, but I'm afraid your lover is starving" she said.


"you should go!" said Julia who had been emotionally stirred.


"i'll leave after saying a few things for you" said the woman.


"say what you want and get rid of it!" Julia said.


the woman smiled and said.


"you're gonna lose him"


"you will be faced with two options to prove your love, no matter what you choose, you will lose yourself."


"your destiny and her destiny are locked away."


"you'll love a different person"


"get up or I'll hit you!" Julia bent down to pick up a stone located near her feet, but when she stood up she disappeared. Julia looked to her right and left but found no trace of it. The stone she was holding finally dropped.


Suddenly his shoulder was patted someone, Julia reflex immediately turned her body then kicked with all her might with the knee of her right leg. The person immediately collapsed.


Dugg. brack..


"August!" Julia dumbfounded.


August grimaced in pain holding his groin with both hands.


"the basis of women is cruel" said August who felt his future looked bleak.


"Your fault surprised me" Julia said.


"it was you who shocked me that I screamed so loud that I woke up from my sleep"


"fast open!" pinta Julia's.


"what opened" asked August still grimacing.


"your pants are fast!" Julia said.


"you're crazy how you can use it" said August.


"Basic bawdy I'll compress it with water!it's warm" said Julia and then took a small towel and wet it with warm water.


"put your hands away" said Julia.


Julia then covered it with a towel that had been wet with warm water with a little bit of a massage slowly.the pain, pain that August felt before slowly disappeared, slowly disappeared, yet another strange feeling suddenly appeared.


"hey. I think I should take you to the hospital, the swelling's getting bigger" Julia said.


"it's not swollen" August said resentfully.


"Oh" said Julia his face flushed red.

Carrol, Hedya, Aira and Aruna after a short walk they came to a very large temple.


"open the door Miss Carrol has returned" shouted one of the guard men who was above the door wall.


The door opened, two women welcomed their arrival.


"Where's aunt?" carrol asked the two women.


"Lady Lyra is still in her med room, she told you to rest for a while, it seems she already knows you are coming" said one of the women named Manila.


Hearing the name Lady Lyra, Hedya's heart was racing.


"we have prepared a room for the four of you, please follow us" said another woman.


About two hours later after they had cleaned themselves up and filled their stomachs, the four of them were among several servants heading towards the hall where Lady Lyra was waiting for them. when walking towards the hall they saw the group of men and women practicing martial arts, some were using swords, spears, arrows and also bare hands.


They reached the hall, looking a woman so gracefully dignified, wearing a purple-colored robe smiling towards them. Lady Lyra walked over to Hedya.


"Do you know who I am?" ask Lyra to Hedya.


This question is actually very easy, but for Hedya it is difficult to answer, for her this question sounds 'do you know I am your mother?' Hedya was silent for a moment. Aira and Aruna looked at him waiting for his answer, while Carrol only smiled.


"You are Lady Lyra, but I don't know for sure whether Captain Sanders' words about you are true" Hedya replied.


"I remember Sanders, your father and I owe him a debt of gratitude to Andrew" Lyra said.


Andrew is Julia's adoptive father, he was already dead when Hedya underwent training to become an agent.


"Are you my mother?" hedya asked, her eyes began to look glassy.


Lady Lyra saw Hedya immediately embrace her.


"True.., I'm your mother, I know this feels strange and awkward to you, I promise to answer all your questions, and give you evidence and truth." - Lyra.


"i. i. mother" Hedya's tears were unstoppable.


The attitude of an agent that he has lost he is now like a spoiled child who wants to find the attention of his mother.


Lyra let go of Hedya's embrace, she then wiped Hedya's tears with her two thumbs.Everyone in the hall was moved to see the meeting of a mother and son from two different worlds, and everyone in the hall was moved to see the meeting of a mother and daughter from two different worlds, aruna was no exception though his heart was cold he could still feel it, but preferred to throw away his face not continue to see it.


"Of course you two have questions too" Lyra told Aira and Aruna.


"What is this place?" ask Aruna.


"This place is called the Golden Star Temple, the border of the two worlds" Lyra said


"i've never heard of it" said Aruna.


"of course you've never heard of it, this place is off limits to the Armeda clan, you two are exceptions" Lyra said.


"then what's your reason for letting us into this place?" ask Aira.


"The two of you are the child's guards, even though one of the foolish chiefs of your clan wants the child dead" Lyra said, glancing at Aruna.


"Don't try to insult the Armeda clan or.."


"or what?" Lyra cuts off the word Aruna.


"Do you know why the two of you are unable to defeat the Logos when your power is actually two levels above it?" ask Lyra.


"What?" Aira and Aruna were surprised.


"about thirty years ago I came to this world to stop Gorran. We were just as injured.it took a few months to heal the wounds I had. After healing I started to practice again, I started to practice, but no matter how hard I practiced I never returned to my former strength.my strength seemed to shrink every day.sucked away by something hidden in this world."


"with the rest of my strength I built this place to cover it with a light dome, two-thirds of the environment in this dome has proxima energy" Lyra said.


"So this place is for the adaptation of people from proxima who entered this world" said Aira.


"Yes!"


"you two can use the meditation room to restore and increase your strength again" Lyra said.


"what do you think makes our strength shrink?" ask Aruna


"It looks like there's something like " Lyra replied.


"i. mother.. What child do you mean by August Garcia?" asked Hedya who was still awkward to call Lady Lyra as mother.


"right" Lyra replied smiling, she was very happy to call mom.


"i. mother when I tapped Logos I heard someone named Clawrit had sent five men to arrest August, one of the five named Alexys" Hedya said


"Well.. Alexys?"
