MERCIA
56. Faithfully Waiting for You.

The man leaped higher than the woman and opened both palms quickly. a transparent air bubble appeared and wrapped around the woman's body and pushed her quickly down towards a large tree.

The woman was surprised, she tried to control her movements to come out of the bubble.In her right hand appeared a golden spear.who else would the woman who had a golden spear? that woman is Aruna.

Aruna stabbed the bubble with her spear, but in vain, the bubble turned into a golden rope and tied itself to a large tree.

The man descended slowly when he saw that Aruna was already helpless in the entanglement of the rope that bound her.

"What are you doing? Untie me? do you know where I come from" Aruna panicked.

The man remained silent walking up to him in a down state, he opened the buff on his face and suddenly he kissed Aruna's lips gently. Aruna tried to avoid, but the man's hand was very strong to hold his head to move, the golden spear in his hand could not move.

after a while, the man stopped his kiss and turned his body around.

"My scoundrel will kill you" said Aruna in anger.

"Aren't you bored always wanting to kill me."

Hearing the man's voice Aruna's body goosebumps, Her heart thumping, that voice was very familiar in her ears.

"A.. August?" aruna's voice was shaking.

August turned his body and smiled. Aruna's anger instantly vanished his spear-shining eyes in his grasp disappeared.

"Is that really you?" ask Aruna not to believe it.

"it's me" said August.

"let me go fast." pinta Aruna.

"no, you're going to kill me" August said.

"August come on don't joke anymore" Aruna said.

August snapped his finger the rope that bound Aruna's body immediately disappeared, Aruna immediately approached August and hugged him.

"kiss me again" said Aruna.

"i've kissed you" said August.

"so I didn't know it was you, I wasn't ready" Aruna said.

'Damn why I became like this in front of him.' thought Aruna.

Aruna's daydream was stopped when August****** was back on her lips, a warm feeling returned she felt. The hot kiss came to a halt when a woman's voice sounded.

"ehem.. Are you okay, Mercia?" sylvana said she felt uncomfortable seeing August with a woman.

Aruna glanced at Sylvana, she felt uncomfortable seeing it, especially Sylvana's appearance was more sexy than him.

"who's he? are you now dating an elf?" for her and women in general, the presence of a beautiful woman in front of the man she likes is a threat.

Getting such questions from Aruna, August is careful to answer them.His previous relationship with Julia gives him a lesson about the jealous nature of a woman.

"she's my friend Sylvana, I just met her today, we both want to visit your place, we need your help, I'll introduce you to her" August said.

A smile is engraved on Aruna's face, how happy to hear August want to visit her, but Aruna hides her feelings.

"You know I'm so busy, why don't you ask Aira for help?" ask Aruna.

August understood the meaning of this trap question. 'hmm. this woman is very troublesome once.' he thought.

"When we parted, I promised myself that if one day I set foot in your world you were the first one I wanted to meet, you were stronger than Aira" August said.

"don't you want to meet Aira?" ask Aruna.

"of course I'll meet him, but not now, the situation is urgent, and I really need your help, didn't you promise me you'd help me before we parted?" August says.

"All right, I'll help you" said Aruna.

"Come.I'll tell you everything" August said.

"wait." Aruna held back August's face, wanting to turn her back, this time kissing August's lips. Aruna deliberately tilted her body so that her action was seen by Sylvana as a veiled message 'she is mine.'

Sylvana threw away the face 'Why I hate that woman so much.'

August was surprised 'this cold woman why it became like this.' August breaks away from Aruna's pagutan.

"Aruna is enough" said August.

Aruna smiled triumphantly.

August begins to tell him how his acquaintances with Sylvana and Nasyra are whom he asks to meet Aira.

"I've heard that Moonheaven is a dark elf territory and that place has been destroyed, but if your friend is sure the place is there at least he tells what makes him sure if all the assumptions so far are wrong" said Aruna.

August glanced at Sylvana waiting for her response.

"My aunt felt guilty about losing the map, and a few years later, my aunt got a clue when she meditated that it wasn't lost, the map will come back to me descending from the sky on Lake Dorrior, all the years I waited every day on that lake, when the frustration in me had already peaked, the, I saw you Mercia fell in that lake" said Sylvana.

"You think I have that map?" ask August.

"that's the first possibility, the second is that with your help I was able to get the map, and it's no coincidence that you're currently looking for edianna flowers" Sylvana said.

"Edianna flower, why do you want to find that flower?" ask Aruna to August.

"After your departure, I, Lady Lyra and others fought against Gorran and his army.We managed to kill all of them, but after that came the five messengers of Clawrit."

"They are Alexys, Kallus, Javelyn, Leth and Legira."

"Javelin?" Aruna surprised.

"you know him?" ask August.

"i have a personal grudge against him, so what happened?" said Aruna.

"Alexys hurt Lyra, Kallus hurt me, and Javelyn..." August did not continue his words, he took a roll of cloth and handed it to Sylvana.

"You're right I have the map" August said.

"August.. What did Javelyn do to you?" ask Aruna.

Sylvana receives the map August gives her, but she and Aruna notice a change in expression on her face.

"i want to get some fresh air, you guys find a place for us to spend the night" August said and walked away leaving the two of them.

Sylvana and Aruna looked at each other.

"You find a place to stay, I'll catch up with her" said Aruna leaving Sylvana.

After a while of searching, Aruna found August sitting on a rock near the riverbank. Aruna slowly approached him.

"Do you mind if I accompany you?" ask Aruna.

"Do whatever you like, this is your world" August said coldly.

"What's really going on, what did Javelyn do to you?" ask Aruna.

"If I have to choose, I don't want this power, the power that's in my body is a curse. I lost my parents, my friends suffered, and I lost her, too, she said, what does all this mean?" August says.

"I promise to explain it to Julia, you'll be with her again" Aruna said.

"Julia was gone, the woman killed her" August said.

Hearing that instant the turbulent emotions jumbled across Aruna's chest, one side he thought was glad the chance of getting August was getting bigger, but on the other hand he was sad what happened to August was a crushing blow that would make August close himself, and would make everything feel difficult. Aruna did not know what to behave at this time.he just wiped August's tears and hugged him without saying much.

"Is all this worth it?" august said staring at the river with a blank look.

"i'll help you avenge the woman, we have a grudge against the same man" Aruna said, turning August's face toward her and kissing her soft lips.

"Aruna I can't do it, I'm not ready for this" August said.

"Hush.I don't ask for much, I just want you to know I'll be faithfully waiting for you until you're ready to open up, I want to ask for one from you, I want to ask for one, when that comes I want you to tell me directly even if you don't choose me" Aruna said.

"Why are you acting like this Aruna?" ask August.

"Destiny."

"Your destiny is the savior of the world, and my destiny is to love you" Aruna said.

"Now let me comfort you, forget your sorrow, I will not let you grieve when I am with me" said Aruna again kissed August's lips after he was lured to follow Aruna's aggressive actions.

"Aruna is quite.., we have to go back before Sylvana looks for us" August said.

"we only come back when you feel good" Aruna said.

"I'm fine, it's all because of you, thank you Aruna" August said.

Aruna smiled "you'd rather I call you August or Mercia?"

"Tell you" said August.

"how about baby." seduced Aruna.

"Mercia alone then, I really can't believe there's a cold-blooded murderous woman teasing me" August said.

"Hahaha.all right let's go Mercia baby."

August smiled and shook his head.In his mind he was still thinking about the words Aruna would faithfully wait for him, but for August even though he had not opened himself, he was still thinking about the words Aruna who would be faithful waiting for him, if he had to choose then he would choose Amara a blind woman similar to Julia who forced him to marry.

As for Aruna, she already knew the prophecy about the crystal, she had originally chosen not to believe it, but her desire was bumped with the reality, no matter how hard she refused, he could not face the fact that August and Mercia were the same person, his destiny was to love only a knight belonging to the phoenix. Aruna only thought until then that he would enjoy his days with those he loved.
