The Story of the Wind Wanderer
I Die? #109

Waking up in the middle of nowhere, in a white vacuum shining. Aurora opened her eyes wide, and seemed to not believe in her existence. The void was completely luminous, all white like the long dress she was wearing right now. Looking around, he found nothing, not even a wall or a door in the strange place.

One thing and the first question that came to his mind was, "do I die?"

Her body felt light, and Aurora was now able to breathe very smoothly without the slightest tightness, better than before. The temperature in that very foreign place was also not too cold, it felt very warm and comfortable, better than the small and dark room used by Asta to lock himself in.

The wavy white-haired beauty took the initiative to step up, walking amongst the void space that was nothing but her. He also did not know which way to go, because staring at the sky also has the same color that dominates the room, all white and luminous. Aurora did not know whether it was currently day or night, but the clear void space she was currently treading on looked as bright as it was during the day.

Many steps he had gone through, before Aurora finally stopped because she was surprised by something that dazzled her eyes. A light green light suddenly appeared in front, and the light was getting closer to make both Aurora's eyes must be covered by one of her hands because of the light. Completely made unable to see, Aurora's eyes even closed.

"Moor."

A soft and graceful female voice rang out, and instantly made Aurora open her eyes. The white-haired girl felt familiar with the voice that had just called her name.

From behind the light, a beautiful woman in a beautiful light blue dress, and a golden crown on her head suddenly appeared. The middle-aged woman walked over to the figure of Aurora who was standing and was silent there. The traits of the woman who had just appeared had similarities with Princess Aurora. Her beautiful wavy hair was white, and both irises were the same beautiful blue as Aurora's.

When the woman was already really close, it even stood just a meter away in front of Aurora. Aurora's two irises were suddenly flooded with tears, "mother?" he said with bitter intonation.

Aurora was about to reach out and embrace the figure she called her mother. However, his hands could not touch the body of his mother, translucent just like that when he tried to touch and reach for her, "why? Why can't I touch you, mother?" ask her with both cheeks blushing already wet.

The woman is Queen Eira, a beautiful figure and mother of Aurora who has died of severe pain since Aurora was eight years old. The mother, whom he had always longed for, was now standing right in front of him. But he cannot touch the existence of his beloved mother.

"We're different in nature, Aurora. That's one compelling reason why you can't touch me" Eira said in response to her beloved daughter's question.

"Then am I dead? Why am I here?" sahut Aurora immediately questioned what had crossed his mind when he first realized that he was inside this vast alien place, and everything was dominated by white light.

Queen Eira shook her head in response to the question. He seemed to smile happily and then said, "you're just in the same subconscious as the comatose Aurora."

"But why am I meeting my mother here?" ask Aurora back.

The situation was back for a moment. Aurora's face and eyes were then lowered. He did not look happy, he looked sad. His feelings are currently being mixed up and are very complicated to explain. Queen Eira seemed to be able to understand what was making her daughter's heart go mad, she who was always smiling then asked, "is there something you want to talk about?"

"Mystick Kingdom is no longer like the time when father and mother were healthy first" Aurora said.

Queen Eira slowly moved, passing her daughter as she spoke, "let's follow mother ...!"

Aurora followed in her mother's footsteps, until a park bench with white paint suddenly emerged from a wisp of golden yellow light. Queen Eira sat on the long bench, then followed by Aurora who sat right next to him.

"I think you know what's going on" Eira said with a calm, relaxed tone and attitude, even with a smile. Aurora immediately turned her head, looking at her mother with a puzzled look. But the white-haired girl did not speak or ask, she let the situation stand still for a moment until finally Queen Eira gave her clarity.

Queen Eira's gaze was slightly directed upwards, with a beautiful face that looked relaxed he began to talk about the past. The period that tells the origin of Asta before the man lived life in the palace of the Mystick Kingdom, and became what it is today.

"Asta, your mother and father found little baby Asta crying very loudly among the piles of snow inside a cave in one of the highest mountains in the Southern Continent. The baby was cold, even his nails froze. When your mother and father found her, we took the initiative to help her and bring her back to the palace to take care of her."

"At that time, I wasn't pregnant with you, Aurora."

Queen Eira speaks of the past calmly and casually. Princess Aurora seemed to have no idea what she had just heard, "but mother knew she was a demon, didn't she?! Why did mom and dad bring Asta to the palace?!" cetus with a little annoyed intonation.

The gaze of Queen Eira bowed, smiled slightly and replied, "we do not know about it at all, because there are no signs of either physical or magic in Asta."

"But the irregularities began to occur after your mother gave birth to you, Aurora. Until the end when you turn eight years old" continued Eira.

"Mother is very sick" said Aurora with a downcast look, cutting off her mother's conversation.

"Pardon your mother and father for bringing trouble to the kingdom, and for weighing on your life, Aurora. We really didn't know that Asta was Astaroth, the demon prince," Queen Eira said, turning her head, looking at her daughter with a teary look. He wanted to touch Princess Aurora, but he could not.
