MERCIA

MERCIA
70. The Beginning of an Era.


"Ah.. Where's me?"


"You're sober?"


"Aren't you chairman of Myla?"


"Well, if I'm not mistaken you're Aruna" Myla said.


Aruna tried to get up, but her body still felt weak.


"Calm down, if I want to hurt you, I don't have to bother trying to treat you."


"i've sent messengers to Nephia to have them pick you up."


"No. I can't go back yet, I have to go to Galan's kingdom" Aruna said.


Myla was a little surprised.


"Why do you want to go there?" ask Myla.


"Mercia asked me to, I also have to meet Aira."


"Why did you meet Aira?" ask Myla.


"I told him to meet" said a woman who suddenly appeared followed by dozens of people behind her.


"Chairman of Nefia" said Aruna.


"Calm Aruna, everything will be fine."


"Myla"


"Nefia.., long time no see."


Nephia nodded, then approached Aruna, and gave her a blue pill. Aruna took it from Nephiah's hand and swallowed it.


"say what happened?" ask Nefia.


"Chairman, when I was on my way I met Mercia, she was with a dark elf named Sylvana."


"Dark elves?" Nefia surprised.


"they're looking for Moonheaven" Myla said.


Aruna and Nefia looked at Myla in surprise.


"You know that?" ask Nefia.


"Nasyra was Thurinor's daughter who told us" Myla said.


"How does Mercia know people from the world of Enigma?" ask Nefia.


"He accidentally found his way in there, he also made a mess in the kingdom of Healon, making Thurinor bend his knees to him."


Nefia shook her head almost in disbelief hearing it.


"Aruna where is Mercia now?" ask Nefia.


"Last we met in Innodale city, we had problems, Mercia tried to overcome them, I wanted to help, but she forbade me and asked me to go to Galan kingdom to help Aira, she said, he told me and Aira to wait there."


"Then how did you get hurt?" ask Myla.


"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that, but there's more to it than that."


"What's Aruna doing?" Nefia looks riled up.


"Chairman of Nefia.., Chairman of Myla. I beg you to remove the strife between the Armeda clan, the prophecy has really been fulfilled, chief.., he's already shown up.."


"Whatchu mean? who do you mean?" ask Nefia.


"Phoenix."

"Murid ungodly.., did you really attack me? do you think you can beat me, I teach you everything you can." Gessora was furious.


"i respect you as my teacher, but it's gone when you wanted to kill my sister."


"And my skills are not all I've learned from you!" minerva said then moved her hand.


Gessora's body slammed into the rocks, surrounding buildings.


Bak. buk..


Gessora crossed her hands on her chest, her body instantly turning silent.


"Where did you learn the devil's hand?"


"It's none of your business." replied Minerva.


"Hehehe.." Gessora's eyes lit up red.


This time Minerva's body crashed like the one in Gessora.


Helena saw that the fight immediately threw her stick to the ground.


Bumm..


The shock when the wand struck the ground could throw all the creatures and corpses of witches, as well as Gessora, making Minerva free from it. Sonja took out her arrow, she aimed at the black clouds, the arrow in her bow lit red and then released it. the arrows shot out at super speed and when they touched the black clouds there was a thunderous explosion as a lightning flash moved against Gessora's body.


BLEGARR...!


Gessora bounced back, his body trembled with smoke.The black clouds instantly disappeared, the sunlight had turned the dog-headed creatures back into dust as well as the corpses of the witches.


"You have lost Gessora, your soul that you kept in the mirror cave has been destroyed" Helena said.


"No way, I can't lose."


Gessora leaps towards Freya to suck her energy, Helena swiftly directs her staff of pitih rays out capturing and holding Gessora's body, Sonja again releases her arrows hitting Gessora's heart.


geek. jleb. aghhh..


Minerva immediately stomped her hand forward, a bluish-white light disk shot up against Gessora's neck, Gessora's body twitched for a moment and collapsed, her head rolled with bulging eyes, Gessora was dead.


Minerva immediately ran towards Freya who was still unconscious.


"Freya. wake up. It's over."


Helena approached Freya, two fingers he put on Freya's forehead, the forehead of Helena shining visible crescent moon symbol issued a white light, all the witches were astonished to see it, as they kneeled.


"Great magician." they said lightly.


Minerva herself finally admits who Helena is now.


"Helena, after all this, Freya and I will follow you" Minerva said.


"We will all follow you" said the other witch.


Helena was shocked when she turned her body and saw them all kneeling.


"Wake up all of you, see that man lying down? Her name is Mercia, the holy crystal chose her to free Proxima from the devil's grip, I will always stand beside her, determine the position where you stand, with her or with Clawrit" Helena said.


"What about you, Minerva? which road are you going to take?" ask Helena.


All eyes looked at Minerva.


"a. i. em.. Freya is a white witch and I'm not like her, a. I don't know where I should stand. a. I.."


"Sister. I don't care what you've done, the difference between a white and a black witch is just an act, you have to let go of our parents, and forgive everyone as well as yourself." said Freya who finally realized.


"Freya.. Are you. are you okay?" minerva asked with tears beginning to drip.


"Fight with us all against Clawrit." pinta Freya.


"I promise I'll do it, we'll live and die together" Minerva said, embracing Freya.


"What shall we do now Lady Helena" asked one of the witches.


"Call me Helena, I'm still the same person, Minerva and Freya will still be Innodale's guards, from now on prepare yourselves, the great battle is coming soon." helena said then walking towards Mercia, she snapped her finger, the dome protecting Mercia vanished.


"Bring her in, let her rest.Get you back, I thank you all for helping to defeat Gessora" Helena said.


They all bowed and dispersed.


Freya who was able to get up walked towards Sylvana.


"Tell me, are you a dark elf looking for Moonheaven?" ask Freya.


"Yes!"


"Freya what's up?" ask Minerva.


"Our mother was the liaison between the world of dark elves and witches, I only found out at the time of her death, he gave something to me to hand it over to a dark elf who was different from the others" Freya said.


Freya took the necklace she was wearing, then handed it to Sylvana.


"key?" Sylvana was surprised, the pendulum of the necklace was a key made of gold.


"I don't know what the key is, I was just asked to hand it to you" Freya said.


Sylvana took the necklace and put it on. "Thank you."


"May I know what your mother's name is?" ask Sylvana.


"Luciana."


"Have Sylvana a rest, I'm sure you and Mercia can continue tomorrow's journey" Freya said.


"Well, I'll first look at Mercia's condition" Sylvana said and walked away.


"Freya why didn't you tell me?" ask Minerva.


"Mom told me not to tell anyone."


"Others he say?"


"he asked me not to give up on you, because by the time the elf comes you'll be back."


Minerva was sitting limp, her tears were flowing.


"A. a. I. I'm sorry Freya."


'You've changed everything Mercia, this is the new era of Innodale.' Helena smiled at the two and walked away.


In the morning, August and Sylvana had already said goodbye to Freya, Minerva and Helena as well as some of the witches who took the time to come to the black castle, the two of them finally continued their journey.


About two hours they arrived in a small forest under the foot of a golden mountain.


"Mercia according to this map behind this golden mountain is the place to be, I don't know what we're going to find on this mountain" Sylvana said.


"Whatever it is we will face it together" August said staring at the top of the golden mountain.


Sylvana smiled at him, suddenly they were surprised by an old grandmother coming out of the small forest.she brought a pile of bread wrapped in plastic neatly, the grandmother approached the two of them.


"Eh.. You two are you waiting for a vehicle to go to Innodale city?


"no grandma, we want to go to the city over there" August said pointing to just any place.


"Grandmother from where? why go to Innodale?" ask Sylvana.


"I want to sell bread, usually my granddaughter who sells in that town, but the day she's sick so I take her place. uhuk.."


Sylvana looked at the bread that the grandmother had brought, which was only ten packs, and then glanced at August.


"Let me just buy some bread it's all granny" said Sylvana.


"Are you really going to buy everything?" grandma's eyes were shining.


Sylvana nodded.


"You're beautiful, your heart is beautiful too, thank you, your boyfriend must really like you" said the grandmother.


Sylvana's face flushed. "She's not my girlfriend, she's my boyfriend."


"Thank God, uh I mean it's a pity, I'm sorry."


Sylvana smiled stiffly. "it's okay."


The grandmother handed over all the bread she sold to Sylvana.


"Hey eat this bread, my grandson only makes one fruit every day, it's a very special bread."


"Thank you grandma, hey Mercia.., pay this granny."


"I thought you'd pay for it" August said.


"How can I have money? I just got here."


August shook his head. "How much grandma?"


The grandmother scratched her head and counted her fingers.


"I don't know.I forgot to ask my granddaughter."


"Oh my goodness.." August gave the grandmother five gold coins.


"If that's not enough, have your granddaughter charge Helena or Freya in Innodale.


"Well, thank you handsome." said the granny flirtatiously and left the two of them.


Sylvana just laughed softly while eating the bread the grandmother gave her.


August shook his head while watching the grandmother leave.he felt a little strange.


"Why is that grandma so familiar, what do you think Sylvana is?"


there's no answer. August turned his head when he was surprised to see Sylvana drooping.


"Suck that granny..!"


August then chased the grandmother away.
