"THE COUNTRY BEHIND THE RAINBOW"
prince
Dayang-dayang palace was busy preparing potions.while some royal elders came to check the condition of santiago.
"son, open your eyes.what are you feeling."
one of the elders approached santiago and tried to resuscitate him, but the young man was still unconscious and kept delirious calling his mother's name, it looks like Santiago had a fever from an inner pressure as he got carried away in another dimension and saw his mother,his tears kept dripping.Emilly's daughter took a handkerchief and wiped the tears that kept flowing on santiago's face
"santiago, wake up and open your eyes.What happened to you?"
the hand of the princess stroked the forehead of the young man who lay weak.His loving gaze slowly princess emilly began to put her heart to her world opponent.
"how is the condition of the young man.what happened to him.why did he convuls and lie limp like this?
king Arion entered the room where Santiago was being treated.
"santiago is still very weak father.he has not opened his eyes.it looks like he saw something in his subconscious and made him unconscious."
"hopefully this young man will soon be sunk and we must begin the ritual in the eternal lake to prove who this young man is, and how he can come to our place."
"father is right, the ritual must be done, otherwise it will have a bad impact on this country."
as king Arion and his daughter were talking, Santiago suddenly began to mutter and opened his eyes.
"where am I now, what's going on"?
he looked to his right and left.when he opened his eyes, the first person he saw was emilly's daughter who was smiling sweetly in front of him.
"you're finally aware of Santiago."
he tried to get up even though his head still felt very dizzy.
"slow down."
emilly helped him get up, and held his hand.
"how are you doing, are you okay?"
"i'm fine, your majesty, forgive me for bothering you all."
"no matter santiago, I also have to take responsibility for what happened to you.I hope you recover soon, because soon the ritual will be done."
the king left the room and then came out of the santiago room, only the princess of emilly remained and accompanied santiago while feeding potions to the handsome young man.
"thank you princess for taking care of me. I've been troubling you."
"no, I just want you to recover.we're all worried about you."
the young man's eyes were directly fixed with the princess's eyes.The two became misbehaved until one of the elders came in and greeted them.
"princess, your majesty asks you and this young man to go to the lake immediately.all are waiting there."
"alright, we'll be right away."
emilly's daughter stood up and came out of the room and took Santiago away with her to the eternal lake.Everyone was waiting in clean white clothes around the lake.including violla and his family.
"well, now this young man is in front of us.and we will test him in this well.I hope that everything will be fine and nothing bad will happen to him,and also for all the inhabitants of the rainbow country."
the king then sent one of the elders who were skilled in magic and immediately began the ritual.The angels performed worship including the king of Arion and all the inhabitants of the palace according to their tradition as a nation of angels.while santiago stood between they while listening to the whole process of the ritual that is going on.there is no doubt or fear behind the handsome face.terbesik confidence in the heart santiago he can pass the test in the land of invisible creatures.
it is time for Santiago to enter the eternal lake.The lake water looks calm and very clear crystal clear.Santiago shadow reflections look very clear above the lake.
"it's time you came down and went into the middle of that lake."
king Arion approached and whispered into his ear.
"all right, your majesty, I'm going down now."
the angels looked tense when they saw the man stepping towards the middle of the lake. violla held her mother she could not see her friend in the lake and princess emilly and the rest of the rainbow palace watched with tension the procession of human testing in the sacred water.Some palace elders stood on the edge,raising their hands and flapping their wings and reciting incantations.Suddenly the well water let out a rumbling sound along with the foam and bubbles that continued to rise covering the body of santiago.
"dad, what happened I'm afraid of you."
violla clutched her father while closing her eyes with an extremely trembling body.
"but father,ago is just a human being.he would not be able to protect himself from the ancestors in the lake.what if he was suddenly pulled into it."
all the angels seemed very tense, they worried about the young man.princess emilly************** his fingers, his fingers,he also seemed very worried about santiago.sometimes he looked at Santiago and his beautiful face turned tense and reddened.
"hopefully the ancestors did not find the slightest stain in your heart santiago.I hope you will not be buried forever in this eternal lake."
the rumbling sound grew stronger.The well water slowly began to boil.
"what is this, what happened to this lake water?why does the water suddenly emit hot steam and start to boil, no I should not panic, I should keep calm.
without feeling panicked, he remained standing quietly, and thousands of bubbles had enveloped his entire body.all eyes were fixed on witnessing the strange event.
"the fathers of the ancestors had locked santiago inside that bubble."
amid the tension, princess Emilly yells at her father.
"emilly, calm yourself down.This is not how you're going to witness and see firsthand what our ancestors' powers are like."
"but dad, what if something happens to him?how's dad?"
"emilly what happened to you, why are you so worried about that man?"
emilly was silent, thinking.
"father is right, what is it with me why should I worry about satiago, besides he is a creature from the human world and I just knew him, but why am I so restless?"
the bubble is getting higher, the whole lake is covered with bubbles.Suddenly a very bright light surrounds the entire lake.A light that shines and emits golden colors that dazzle the eyes of all the angels standing in that place.
"dad, what's going on?"
emilly's daughter approaches her father
"either emilly this time father saw an event like this.A bright light to the emasan that appeared in the eternal lake, not a sign of what,"
the eyes of the king of Arion and his daughter even the inhabitants of the palace were wide open to see the amazing event.
"daughter of almira, look at that noble princess almira!"
a palace elder shouted out the name of princess almira.
"what, why does the almira appear in the eternal lake?almira what happened?"
princess Almira is the daughter of a rainbow country,who was wasted into the human world because he fell in love with a young man from the human world.and the daughter of almira is the birth mother of santiago who is also the younger sister of king Arion who ruled in the rainbow country.
"Arion, Arion...!"
the soul of princess Almira called out the name of king Arion, slowly the king approached the light.
"almira, finally after all this time you emerged from your immortality.what is my sister?"
"Arion, why are you punishing my son santiago."
the king was surprised when he heard the soul of his sister almira.the angels were surprised to hear what was said by the santiago's mother.they looked at each other and slowly retreated a few steps from the edge of the well.
"what do you mean, Almira, I don't understand."
"yes Arion, Santiago is my son, who was born from the fruit of my love with a man.and he is the prince of this land.in that child there is a complete angel soul,and pure human blood, you do not deserve to judge him Arion, he is the prince predicted by our fathers and ancestors, a prince who will arise later from a different world, who will rule this land with might,and a power that surpasses all angels.."
hearing that the queen and all the inhabitants of the palace including princess emilly prostrated and paid tribute to princess almira
"forgive me my brother, I don't even know and don't know my own niece.I think he's an ordinary man.I don't know santiago is the prince of this country."
the king bowed down and regretted everything he had done to Santiago.
"no Arion, no,for a time do not tell santiago that he is a prince.let him return to the human world.albert my husband still needs my son with him.Hide this from him until the time comes the destiny of the rainbow country itself will call him go back and gather with the angels."
"well, my brother Almira, peace be in your eternity."
slowly the bubble began to disappear and the eternal lake water began to recede and return as usual.the soul of the princess almira left santiago who was still standing in the middle of the lake while staring dazedly at all the angels who stood he had no idea what was happening to him, and what was happening in the lake.
