About Time

Flas back on

Aqyla looked worried and paced around in her room while observing her surroundings.

"What should I do?" he looks very anxious.

He kept going back and forth from one place to another.

The moon hanging in the sky was watching him like he was begging for mercy.

"You haven't decided yet?" Afgar suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Why would you do this to him?" Aqyla asked as she stared intently at Afgar.

"I did this to help them" he approached Aqyla.

"You?" he backed off and tried to avoid Afgar.

"They love each other, don't always have to hold it back, do they?" he was getting closer to Aqyla.

"You shouldn't do that, you shouldn't ruin his life. If that body is what you want, why destroy its honor?" he shouted while glaring at Afgar.

"You have a little difference with him. Your eyes look prettier" she held Aqyla's chin and brought her face closer together.

"Stay away from me!!" Aqyla turned her head roughly.

"I can do the same to two similar women. I'm so passionate about it" she whispered softly to Aqyla's ear.

"It's not that easy!!!" his sweat started to pour.

"What can you do now?" he drew his body closer to Aqyla.

Aqyla could not do anything, her body was already stuck to the wall.

"Please!!!!" she screamed hysterically.

"Yell as loud as you can, do you expect the statues to move?" he pointed to one of the servants standing by.

"Go you!!!" he tried to hit Afgar's body.

"Hmmmmmm, you're so stubborn" he took a deep breath and pulled out a knife from his pocket.

"Here you go.., he won't give you the necklace" Miss Percilia appeared from behind the door dragging Anndin's blood-soaked body.

"What are you doing?!" he screamed in fear.

"I saw two Aqylas in the same room, one lying unconscious and the other trying to save herself, isn't that funny?" he threw Anndin's body in front of them.

"Cilia, can you do that to the people you love?" he stared hard at her.

"He just took his last breath ten seconds ago, am I too cruel? I wish my body was demon-possessed like this kid's body" he pointed at Afgar's body and slightly gagged his mouth.

"Hahahahahaha. I won't come to your aid if I don't find her" she pushed Aqyla's body to the floor and approached Miss Percilia.

"Where are you hiding the necklace?" Percilia said softly while smiling cunningly.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Five hours before that....

Percilia was seen staring blankly at her face in front of the mirror. He kept thinking about Anndin who had recently met him. After a long time he finally met and could look into her soothing eyes.

"Look at this beautiful woman, she's getting married. What's bothering her mind?" Afgar leaned his face on Aqyla's shoulder and looked into the mirror with a smile.

"Who are you?" Aqyla was startled and immediately stood up.

"It seems like this body isn't too handsome to explain who I am" he spoke while looking at his body.

"Jawab before I yell" she pulled the bun that adorned her hair and pointed at the figure.

"Who are you??!" he hit the hand of Afgar who touched him violently.

"The weak beautiful-eyed little girl has grown into a valley demon like my prediction" she walked up to the window then stared at the moon hanging in the sky.

"WHO ARE YOU!!!" he shouted loudly.

"You're still the same as you used to be, always worried and swayed by your feelings" he turned towards Miss Percilia and threw a small pendant.

"This locket......?" he looked at that figure.

"There used to be a little girl who gave me the locket before I was dumped. The girl felt very guilty for what she did to me. He pleads and asks a witch for advice for the sake of his love but who would have thought he failed to carry out the advice and finally made all the witches to blame for his actions. They were killed, tortured, expelled, and tragically slaughtered. Then how am I supposed to get back at that girl?" he pointed his sword at Miss Percilia.

"Is there anyone outside? HELP!!!" he screamed in fear.

"The poor little witch, she was murdered and her spirit exiled in another world. The witch's spirit was trying to find a way to go home and avenge her ancestors but she never found that way. The foolish girl now repeated her mistake so as to pave the way for me to go home. How do I thank him?" he stared intently at Aqyla.

"Whoever help me!!!" The percilia kept shouting with trembling hands.

"You underestimate the power of a witch? Just imagine what I've done to your people?" he smiled cunningly while observing the frightened face of Percilia.

"What do you want?" ask Miss Percilia and continue to observe her.

"You asked without answering my question? All right.., I'll answer. I'm here to negotiate" he replied, touching the tip of his sword on Percilia's long unraveled hair.

"Just tell me what you want" she tried to catch her breath.

"I want you to kill everyone present at your engagement for a moment except your mother. She'll be useful one day" she smiled like a fox.

"You think I'm crazy? The chiefs would be present for a while, only a madman would do that" he stared intently at Afgar as if he was about to swallow him whole.

"Ohh. I was peeking at your mind a little, you were thinking of someone. He's Anndin but it's not Anndin you're gonna marry. I was very surprised to learn the fact that he let you marry along with his bad side. Isn't that an insult?" he spoke while walking around the frightened Percilia.

"He had a reason for that!" Percilia tried to control her breathing while clenching her hands.

"You knew? Everyone will definitely try to mess up your engagement tomorrow, they won't let you publish the sun. He also lied to you, the fireflies are useless" he stroked Percilia's hair from behind.

"You're just a fucking witch who knows!!" he spoke while taking his severed breath.

"It seems like this negotiation has failed. I just want to let you know, tomorrow Ranni will come to see you and announce her resurrection in front of everyone. Then those who witness it will cheer and shout joy that the goddess of peace has come, she is endowed with the universe. That's when you'll be forgotten and removed. The worse thing is that Anndin will come back and kill the fake Anndin and he marries Ranni and is happy. What a heartwarming story" he whispered to Percilia and then stepped slowly to get out of the room.

Miss Percilia was silent for a moment, the story was very disturbing and made her even more frightened.

"I haven't decided anything!!" he shouted at Afgar who was about to leave.

"How long will I have to wait to hear your decision?" he ignored Percilia and continued to step up.

"I agree but you have to help me" he spoke firmly without a second thought.

Haha....

Afgar laughed at her then turned around and looked at Miss Percilia.

-----------------------------------------------------

"You'll never find that necklace, Ranni already has one and the other only I know where it is" The unconscious Aqyla suddenly wakes up and stabs Afgar with a sword from behind.

Afgar was greatly shocked and held onto his bleeding shoulder. Percilia approached Afgar with worry.

He quickly pulled Aqyla's hand out of the room.

The moon that was shining brightly endlessly made the beta look like their faces.

"You?" he turned and looked at her.

"I listened to everything you guys were talking about" he smiled as he continued running

The story of the little rabbit slowly lost forgotten time. The place began to freeze in its unreachable silence.
