The Cursed Bloodline
Goodbye
Zou's body was pulled back somewhere. After having witnessed the happiest day of his life, it was time he again witnessed a day that deserved to be called the entrance to 'Hell' in his life.
The dazzling rays again engulfed his body. This time, he tried to open his eyes slowly. Although he could not see or touch anything, the memories inherent in his brain would still clearly remember an aroma. That's what he feels right now.
"You what is this? The smell of something burning mixed with some gunpowder. Th-this... Don't tell me the battlefield of that time! " Zou tried to look at the surrounding area. His fear was reasonable.
Hundreds of. No, thousands of corpses of soldiers of the three great nations fell on the battlefield. Land destroyed by the bombardment of magic military soldiers decorate the place. Right at the meeting point of the three States, there is an elongated ravine that divides the land into three parts. The gorge served as a clear dividing line between the 3 Great Countries in the Wizarding World.
"This was a truce 29 years ago! " it is still fresh to remind Zou of the first truce he attended as Tsuki's leader.
Zou glanced at himself, who was then advancing in the vanguard to defend the sovereignty of his country
Hirui was a 19-year-old male. Although hesitant, he ventured to step foot towards the edge of the Gorge which became the meeting place between the other 3 Leaders of the State. His hands were soaked with nervousness, while thin sweat flooded his forehead when faced with two other leaders of the State
Aoryu who stood firmly on Sora's side. While on Hoshi's side a sly smile adorns the face of his leader, Hozuki. Compared to the two veterans in front of him, Hirui was far from experienced. Even the intimidating gazes of the two people who were both staring at him made his guts faintly.
"All countries have begun to feel the effects of this endless war. So let's talk about a ceasefire! We the Sora side have decided that we will strongly support the termination of the war in the meantime! " a quiet heavy voice Aoryu started to sound. Not without reason, if the war continues to be carried out then all parties will only get losses
" Cih! Sora is a coward! Just because some soldiers are dead, you guys want to stop this war?! " this time Hozuki's voice was domineering. It is because war is starting to break out. His ambition of uniting the three countries brought the battlefield to shatter everywhere.
" Some people said you?! Look around! If only you had not breached and entered the borders of other countries using your military command! The world will never be like this!
If Tsuki and Sora want to! We can join forces and fight you, Mr Hozuki! "
" really? I'm not sure that the boy who had been silent earlier and continuously wiped the sweat in his hand dared to fight me! " hozuki said glancing at Hirui.
Hearing the humiliation, Hirui's hands clenched firmly. It is true that he was the youngest there, but there is no reason to demean a State leader
"Who said Tsuki would just shut up. We did choose Neutral even though Hoshi often harassed us. But if you go any further to infiltrate our country.
Tsuki has no choice but to hold Sora's hand to strike you back! " hirui said with great emphasis
Hozuki smiled in a knot "Are you guys declaring an alliance agreement against me?! "
As always, there will never be a word of agreement if all parties still carry their own egos. Such is the case with the ceasefire agreement between the three countries. Alot negotiations that often end solve a battle with the cost of the lives of the soldiers.
That night, it was as if heaven was on his side. Hoshi with the arrogance of his leader finally agreed to a truce. On condition that each State can put a command of soldiers at the border to hold the treaty. Hirui can breathe a sigh of relief. He could provide treatment for his wounded soldiers and rest their exhausted physiques. Months of wallowing in the battlefield made Hirui miss his small family. He asked himself what his wife and daughter were doing?
Until a message from Tsuki Village appeared.
"Mr Hirui! Mrs Haruko has entered her delivery room! We are asked to inform you immediately! "
" What do you mean? This is the 6th month! "
" Mr.a.s.s bleeding heavily, sir! " Without thinking any more, Hirui immediately darted back towards the Village.
......................
In a delivery room, a premature red baby was born. His still very small body in the Kenkou magic to maintain the life of the baby. Since then, other medical teams are trying to save the life of the mother. Haruko, shortly after giving birth to her son she was instantly unconscious.
Without Hirui knowing, Haruko secretly kept her health condition a secret. Doctors said his body was too weak to sustain his second child. However, due to his love for Hirui, he wants to keep the baby in his stomach. She hopes she can give a son to her husband and Tsuki. His hope was granted, even though he had to risk his life for it.
In the midst of the busy medical team trying to save him. Haruko finally regained consciousness for a moment, with her arms raised weakly she told the nurse to bring her newborn son.
"T- Please bring my son here." he said, limping.
A pale-white face smiled towards the child. The blazing red hair of the son reminded him of Hirui. The boy also inherited eyes as beautiful as his Jade stone. While stroking the small baby quietly in her arms, Haruko whispered a small whisper into her son's ear
"Thank you for coming into this world, my son. Your father, he's still busy looking after this country and us. But, he has prepared a name that suits you. Hisui.
Welcome, Hisui......
Mother loves you. "after welcoming the birth of her son, Haruko's eyes suddenly closed. As if knowing what the mother was feeling, little Hisui started crying for the first time
" His heart rate is getting weaker! " The medical team begins to move quickly to save Haruko's life. But unfortunately, the woman who has just welcomed the arrival of her love fruit must leave on the same day.
Brakkkk.....
Hirui broke down the door of the room where Haruko was being treated. With a breath of breath he used all his magic abilities to arrive at that place immediately. Hazel Hirui's eyes swept across the space, rows of medical teams seemed to be marching silently as they bowed their heads in welcome of his arrival. With heavy steps, Hirui began to enter the room
"What about my son?! " one word of a million meanings. Hirui hoped that if his son survived, his wife would too. At least that's what he believed
A nurse shows a baby box with Kenkou energy enveloping it. Despite being born prematurely, his son seemed to be fine.
"Then where's my wife? " everyone in the room was silent. Hirui caught a figure covered in white cloth on the patient's bed. Even though his brain knew what it meant, his heart refused to believe it
" Hurry, say! Where's Haruko now! " screams.
Without realizing it, his footsteps brought him closer to the bed. A hand was stretched out from behind the cloth, a hand that was still wearing a simple chicin as a binding holy promise between them
Hirui's eyes couldn't stem his tears anymore. While resting on the floor, he tried to open the cloth that covered the body of the woman he loved so much.
"This whole thing is my fault! " A light swallowed him back. His body move seemed to come at the right time.
......................
Zou is thrown back into his past moment. This time, he was laid 10 years after the death of his wife. Zou had just realized there was something strange about his body. How long he walked and how old he grew he never felt aging at all.
Even at the age of 29 years, the growth of his body seems to settle at the age of 19 years. He had no idea what had happened to him, for sure his body had not changed since then. A handsome face that seems cute. Even often when he walks with his two children, people who do not recognize him will assume the children he invited were his sister. He also never got sick and had antibodies that were immune to any toxins
But the strangeness of his body had never been noticed in earnest. For him growing up his two children was much more important. They eventually grow up healthy and become Tsuki's proud Sons.
Happy times are never long. Hoshi again launched his attack and targeted the infancy to Tsuki Country. All the Military commanders gathered somewhere, this time discussing how to defend the territory from Hoshi's attack
"We must defend the territory on two different sides! " said one of Tsuki's Command Captains
Hirui nodded in understanding, he placed a marker stone on the map of the region in front of him.
" I will lead an army to one guard defending the southern Region, while the other will defend the Western Region! " said.
The experience of the old war, made Hirui no longer a coward. Not as long as he has a definite purpose. Protecting Tsuki's people with her children.
" Okay Sir! And also I as the second platoon Captain would like to recommend some children who are already worthy enough to go to war! " The captain handed over a soldier profile
"Who are they? " Harui's eyes are rounded, inside both documents are photos of Hisui and Harui.
" They're even beating adults. Even if they are your precious children. But, they remain Tsuki's foundation in the future. I hope they can take part in the war this time, sir! "
What Hirui feared happened. As a father, he would never have the heart to send his sons and daughters to war with his own hands. But not for a Supreme Leader of a State. Inevitably, he must put the interests of the country above his personal feelings
"Let us fight on the battlefield, Father! " Pinta Hisui and Harui compact. Hundreds of soldiers witnessed the death of their leader.
One thing Hirui hindaru can't do. The fact among those hundreds of soldiers, they were also the precious son or daughter of an old man. While some, meeeka may be parents who are willing to leave their children alone. Their beloved families deliver their own children or parents for the sake of a call to defend the runaway land even though it is heavy. For that, Hirui must not be selfish. The people risk everything to defend Tsuki. So, despite the weight he also had to trust Hisui and Harui to be able to get through this
"All right! You guys are gonna send me to the 2nd battleground!" with his own hands, Hirui finally sent the sons and daughters whom Haruko entrusted to the battlefield. He knew from now on they were going through a difficult time.
Month by month passed. Various battles separated the distance between the father and his children. Until bad news came back in Hirui's ear
"Mr Hirui! We have successfully surrounded the enemy retreat in the 2nd sector Battlefield! But-"
"But what-" Hirui's premonition was already very ugly. Is it possible that something happened to Harui or Hisui? No way! In this situation, you have to think positively
"Young Master and Miss were held captive by Hoshi's side. They managed to escape, but their condition was extremely severe! Mr. Hisui suffered a heavy injury at the hands of Kiriny while Miss Harui he-" the soldier was unable to extend his words any longer
"Why my daughter! Say it! " Hirui couldn't stem his emotions. With anger he grabbed the soldier's collar
" Miss Harui got a severe wound on one of her legs. One of the nerves in his leg was cut off due to the effect of the explosion. According to the information I received, it was likely that the wound would make it difficult for him to walk! " said the soldier timidly.
Hirui's body instantly suffocated. His breath hunted without order. He was too shocked to hear the news of his two sons. They were even only 10 years old, but had to endure that physical disability? Hirui tried to calm himself down.
" So what are their lives threatened? " said Hirui with an empty glance
" They can be rescued by your medical team soon! Their lives are safe! "
" Thankfully. The general! " call Hirui firmly. A strapping man in full armor immediately approached him
" How many enemies are left? "
" As a result of the defeat in sector 2, the enemy is separated in our sector no more than 1000 people! " says the General.
"Goodoo. Now pull all our troops back home! " the general's eyebrows are linked in wonder. Why did the leader tell them to back off?
" But Sir! We almost won! " Hirui rose to his feet, with a fiery gaze he began to insert hundreds of poisonous needles into his pocket
" Follow my orders! About those 1000 Hoshi people. Let me end it myself! " hirui said as she left the room.
Zou who witnessed his anger in those days could only remain silent while seeing himself in the past disappear behind the night.
Memories of him fielding 1000 Hoshi's men alone. Anger filled him at that time. With poisonous magic needles as well as the secret technique of 'cursed dolls' he finally managed to defeat thousands of soldiers by himself. But, still, the physical injuries he got. On that day, he was almost killed.
Hirui who was severely wounded mixed with the corpses of Hoshi warriors. Trained, he tried to stand up. He directed his gaze towards his beloved country. Instead of going back there, Hirui chose to walk in the opposite direction
Cowardly. Those were the only words that described him at the time. He chose not to return to his country and died in that place. Honestly Hirui did not dare to go home for fear of seeing his children. At the very least, Hoshi would never attack his Country again. His ambition to make Tsuki a Neutral country has been realized. For that, for the sake of the survival of his sons and daughters he prefers to give up.
One of the laws in his country never accepts a leader who has physical weakness. If he returns, Hisui's position will be particularly vulnerable. But, if he doesn't come back. The lives of Hisui and Harui will be guaranteed by the State, because in addition to them there are no descendants who will be their leaders
...----------------...
Note Author: the point is if Hirui returns, the board will be forced to remarry and have children. If that happens, Hirui and Harui's lives will be threatened. For that he prefers to 'kill' himself and hide his identity as Zou
