MERCIA
94. Time to Fight.
"Phoenix is Julia?" amara's head seemed to want to explode getting information that was very difficult to digest.he sat down with both hands trembling.
"How did your friend get to know Julia?"
"He was an Armeda he was assigned to my world to guard the crystal."
"then why would the Phoenix want to kill him?"
"He saw Julia as memory loss, before he returned to Proxima there was a misunderstanding between him and Julia, Julia hated him so much, the feeling was probably so strong that he still remembered it."
"I know this is hard to accept, but.."
"Mercia.we want to kill each other.I know that prophecy, I don't want you to be with another woman, I want to kill Phoenix to get you, but you say Phoenix is Julia, Julia, your old lover, and he's my separate twin brother? how can I accept this, where is justice for me? am I not worthy of happiness?"
"If I could turn back time, I don't want you to come heal my wounds, the wounds on my body I can still bear, but your coming.., you have killed my soul but let my body live."
"Mara. I.."
"Go Mercia never see me again, Ryn has prepared the water of life for you."
reposeful.
"alright.. I'm sorry Amara, goodbye."
August meets Ryn who has prepared two bottles of water filled with life, after saying goodbye to the others August also leaves the place.
"Mr. Princess, may I come in?" asked Ryn who was at the mouth of the cave.
"Awhile.." Amara tidied herself up and wiped away her tears.Now, she let Ryn meet her.
"What's wrong?"
"Sorry princess, when she left, Lord Mercia dropped this, maybe the princess could return it when she met him again" Ryn said handing over a token to Amara.
"Thank you, Ryn."
After handing over the token, Ryn left again.
Amara noticed the token, she was very surprised, seen a carving of a dragon snake that suddenly moved and then appeared a 'born again' writing he then saw the back side of the token, the back side of the token, he read the writing that was there 'daughter of the dragons' immediately appeared a carving of fire birds that move flapping its wings look faint and long more clear.
'Phoenix's'

August had left the dragon lake long enough, he left without direction, he needed a place to calm himself, until finally he saw the ruins of the temple, he then decided to stop there.
August just sat on a rock, daydreaming with a blank look.
"You're like this temple statue."
August flinched from his daydream, he looked back, there stood a man of his age, stout-bodied with long hair tucked on it. A white sword was seen behind his back.
"Are you the owner of this place?" ask August.
"No, I'm just like you, by chance passing by and resting here."
"You saw me get here?"
The man did not reply he was just moving his hand, but August understood the man saw him flying and landed on this spot.
"do you know the name of this place?" ask August.
The man threw a grapefruit in August after he took some fruit and ate it. August accepted the gift, and he ate it.
"This is the ruins of the temple of angels, according to the story was once this temple is a meeting place between humans and the inhabitants of the sky."
"I've heard stories about the inhabitants of the sky, whether there's a town near here" August said.
"this is the border of the city of Hinar, after which there are vast mountainous plains and valleys.
"You want to go to the city of Hinar?" ask August.
"I want to go to Wintervale."
"Wintervale's? what's so interesting about that place?"
"Nothing, it's always covered in snow."
"Then why do you want to go there?"
"What's your name?" ask the man.
"Mercia, you?"
"Nevan, well Mercia I have to go, nice to meet you." he left August.
August watched the man go he was very surprised, his footsteps did not touch the ground, every time he blinked his eyes, the man got further and finally disappeared. August looked around.
'Angel temple' he then walked around the area, observing the statues and images engraved on the mostly shattered stones.
After it was felt enough August finally stopped. he then closed his eyes, a portal he managed to open, he then entered into the portal and disappeared, and disappeared,
**
Moonheaven.
A portal appears on a cliff where a large waterfall is located, August exits the portal, then quickly darts towards the forest where Sylvana is located.
"How is he doing?"
"Princess is fine.em I mean.."
"i understand."
"I'll call him."
Violet then leaves August, before she returns with Pyriel, Sylvana is not with them.
"Where's Sylvana?"
"He was asleep then, em Mercia" said Pyriel.
"Can I see it?"
"Of course."
August enters the house of Pyriel. The house looks a mess of many scribbles of charcoal here and there. August just smiled. Pyriel was ashamed of her home.
"It must have been a real hassle to you" August said.
"No. no. I don't feel bothered by the princess."
"I will repay your kindness Pyriel, if you want or need something don't hesitate to ask me, I will try to help you."
"te. thank you" said Pyriel, and he led Mercia into a room.
In August's room, Sylvana was sleeping with her body curled up and sucking the thumb of her right hand. August held amusedly looking at it. 'if I had a cell phone I would have photographed it.'
August rubbed Sylvana's head gently. "You're gonna be okay." Sylvana seemed to hear him and responded with a twitch in her ear. August came out of the room and handed Pyriel one of the water bottles.
"I've got the water of life, give it to him."
Pyriel and Violet were happy to hear that.
"i will." said Pyriel.
"well, I'll go first."
"You want to go again?" violet asked a little disappointed.
"I just want to observe the golden palace, I'll come back here."
"Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were going back to Proxima, then let n I accompany you." pinta Violet.
"No, you two take care of Sylvana."
Although a little disappointed Violet according to.
August then left the dark elf settlement to the golden palace.Not yet he came out of the forest, he had to stop at one of the trees when he saw someone walking staggered.
"Ralf..?! he then approached Ralf who was seen holding the part of his stomach that looked injured.
Ralf was surprised when someone confronted him, but it was only for a moment that he looked delighted after seeing the face of the figure that confronted him.
"Merciaa.."
"Ralf.. What happened?"
"Mercia, are you from that place?"
"What do you mean?"
"dark elves?"
"True.., hurry back, tell Violet, this place is known, they're going to attack, they're moving."
"who are they?"
"the golden palace squad."
"You calm down, we heal your wounds first."
"there's no time. hurry up.." Ralf fell unconscious, but August had already held him back.
August then expends his energy to treat Ralf's wounds, he then carries Ralf back to the dark elf hideout.
Violet is shocked, when she sees August coming back with someone on her shoulders.
"Mercia what's up.. Huh..? Ralf.. is he okay?"
"Violet I found him wounded, Ralf said this place is known, the palace troops are moving towards here."
"Suck..!"
"Violet calm down, take Sylvana and the others away, I'll hold them off.
"Our Mercia is a dark elf, we're not leaving, you'd better take the princess away, she's safer with you."
"For so long we ran and hid, not because we were afraid, we were divided, now that after the return of the princess, there is no reason to avoid them, it is time for us to fight" Violet said.
August looked around him, the elves had heard what was going on, they gathered together and were ready for battle.
"Alright, I'll help Sylvana and you all defend this place."
