Fate Breakers

Curses

In a cave located on the border of the Kingdom of Ere, a young man is seen being overwhelmed by the illness suffered by a Little Girl who was in front of him.

"Hold on!" said the Young Man who was chanting a healing magic to the Little Girl.

The little girl continued to grimace in pain, her long hair partially whitening as time went on. The young man managed to relieve the pain suffered by the Little Girl, but because of exhaustion so tired he endured the pain throughout his body, the Girl fell unconscious in front of the Youth.

"Anyway, Big Brother will cure your curse, Liz" said the young man who turned out to be the older sister of the girl.

Meanwhile, Riel and Seira are having their lunch at a bar located in the middle of the forest.

"What is your goal in building a bar in the middle of a forest like this?" riel asked the Bar Owner with his mouth still filled with food.

"At least eat your food, you idiot!" scold Seira.

"There was a long story before the Bar was built, would you like to hear it?" answer the Bar Owner.

This time Riel swallowed the food in her mouth before answering the Bar Owner's question, She replied "I want to hear it, I really like the story."

The shopkeeper nodded his head, satisfied with the answer Riel gave and started telling stories. "Well, before let me introduce myself first, my name is Keinn, I was once an adventurer like you. My purpose for adventuring was to find the cure of the Sourozenec Curse, the curse that attacked the sisters born on the same date."

"The curse that attacked the twins?" ask Seira.

"No, no, not just twins. For example, if a mother gives birth to a child on the 16th of the year, then she gives birth to another child on the 16th of the following years, that means they were born on the same date, wasn't he? When that happens, then the Little Sister will be exposed to the Dourozenec Curse, a curse that devours the age of the Little Sister in about 15 years. In other words, this Little Sister would not have lived more than 15 years if the curse had not been healed" Keinn replied.

Riel and Seira who had finished their food looked very serious listening to the story from Keinn. The old man told his story to his first two customers today, wiping the sweat on his forehead with a black apron covering his green shirt before continuing his story.

"My sister died from the curse" said Keinn, gloomily. "This all began when the Second Son of the 4th King of Tanderia killed his brother, because on their birthday, his brother got a gift in the form of a royal throne that will be given to him when his father died later. He did not accept it because his brother who got the title of Heir to the Throne while he only got a Small Village located at the end of the border of the Kingdom of Ere. From that moment on, His Holiness condemned all the Children of the Brothers born on the same date, so that the Son could not commit treason to his Brother in the future."

"I'm so sorry, Keinn." said Seira.

"Thank you, Seira." she replied. "Then, I went on an adventure after learning that my sister was suffering from that damn curse. It is very difficult to get a cure from the curse because this incident is indeed very rare, I have even met Physicians of all kinds of races, but they know absolutely nothing about the Sourozenec curse. I gave up, I resigned, I decided to return home and intend to accompany my sister until the time when she must leave the world."

Keinn sighed, it seemed that he had missed his late Little Brother who had long before him to go to the Baka Realm.

"I ran out of food on the way, I was very hungry, lying under a very large Oak Tree, kept thinking that I would starve to death there before I could see my sister for the last time. However, Goddess Evimeria was still on my side, I met a Beautiful Adventurer who gave me her food, she said, I was really grateful to meet him when I didn't care even though I had to die that day. He told me about setting up a place to eat for the Adventurers in the middle of the forest, so in order to appreciate his kindness to me, I set up this Bar and named it after the girl, Irina's Bar."

Seira glanced towards Riel, thinking of something.

"Are you going to open the bar too, Riel?" ask Seira.

"Why indeed? You want me to set up a bar named after you?" reply Riel.

Seira smiled shyly, she did not expect Riel to be that sensitive when before she could never think of what Seira was thinking.

"Hahaha, if you really want to set up a Bar like me, set up in the big cities so that your income can guarantee your life in the future." suggested Keinn.

After enough discussion and having finished recovering their strength, Riel and Seira decided to continue their journey towards the Kingdom of Ere. Keinn gave some food and drinks for them on the way in the form of bread and some bottles of mineral water.

Not feeling Riel had been away from his house for a month, he missed his mother and his sister, Theresa. Sometimes in the night Riel dreamed of the two of them, it was like he had met again, but Riel had resolved to continue walking and walking to achieve his dream of meeting Aira. After all, Riel was already a fugitive who would soon be put to death if caught, so what was the point of returning to Shappire if he would die later.

Half an hour passed, faintly Seira heard the sound of a child crying from a distance, she did not immediately tell Riel because she wanted to make sure in advance whether she had not heard wrong. After Seira was sure of what she heard, she immediately told Riel who was busy whistling beside her.

"Sshhhh" Seira stopped Riel's whistling by covering Riel's mouth with her palm. "I heard the sound of a child crying, it seemed like it was coming from the Cave." continued Seira while pointing towards the Cave which was about 50 meters from where they were standing.

"It turns out your ears aren't just a variation, are they?" said Riel, meledek.

Seira hit Riel's head hard, not accepting what she said just now.

"Come, hurry!" Seira ran first leaving Riel who was still rubbing her aching head.

Riel immediately followed Seira, the more he approached the Cave the sound of crying that Seira meant could be heard in his ear, Riel also accelerated his footsteps to get to the Cave He was headed.

They reached the Cave Mouth, the sound of crying could be heard echoing from within. Seira and Riel glanced at each other then nodded in unison, they stepped foot and began to enter the Cave deeper.

"It's not a trap like Siren singing, is it?" riel asked, a little worried.

"I can guarantee that this is the sound of human crying" Seira replied.

They walked further and further inside the Cave, many roads branched within it. However, since the sound of the crying was clearly heard from there, Riel and Seira could easily choose the right path.

They finally arrived at a place that was wider than the tunnels they had gone through before. The ceiling is filled with stalactites that look like water droplets made of stone. Some puddles of water reflected the shadow of the stalactite, making the place look more beautiful if only there was no sound of crying from a Little Child that continued to echo there.

"There!" riel said after she saw a red magic circle encircling a Little Child inside.

Their footsteps echoed to every corner of the Cave, making the Little Girl inside the magic circle turn their heads towards them.

"Don't hurt me!" the girl said while covering her face with both hands.

"No, we won't hurt you, instead we want to help you." replied Riel after she and Seira had stood before the girl.

"Nobody can help me, I'm destined to die after this is over." replied the girl, resignedly.

"No, I won't let you just die!" riel said while trying to hold onto the girl's shoulder, but the magic circle surrounding her made her untouchable, like there was an invisible wall protecting the Girl.

A young man who had just entered the room immediately attacked Riel and Seira with his fireball. Frazzled, the two of them managed to dodge the young man's attack.

With a breath of breath, the young man said, "Sway my Brother!"

A ball of fire was thrown back by the young man towards Riel, but this time Riel did not dodge, he let the ball hit his body and left him with a slight burn on the chest.

"Stupid!" seira said as she ran over to Riel.

This young man had not given up, he threw another one of his fireballs towards Seira. Seira quickly cast a spell and made a shield that protected the fireball from his body.

"Shakullina!" Seira made a whirlwind that coiled under the feet of the Youth. The young man soared into the air, carried by the wind that was unceasingly revolving around his body.

"Stop, Seira!" sentak Riel's.

"But-"

"Say stop!" Riel looks very upset by Seira's actions.

Seira obeys Riel's orders, she cancels her magic and makes the young man fall. The young man did not let out his fireball again, He looked at Riel and Seira with a watchful gaze, seemingly thinking that this was all a tactic to counterattack him.

"I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you or your sister, I want to help you guys" Riel said as she walked up to the Young man.

There was no answer that Riel got from the Young man, he just stayed in his place, waiting for Riel who continued to step his feet towards him.

"Who are y'all? What do you want to come here?" ask the young man.

"I'm Riel, and my friend there is Seira" said Riel as she glanced at Seira who was still in her place. "We heard your sister's cry from the outside, and then we came here to make sure it was."

The young man saw the burn he had made on Riel's chest, his heart was slightly moved to believe what Riel had said just now.

"I'm Lux." she replied.

Riel smiled with satisfaction after seeing Lux who started to believe him, He asked, "What happened exactly?"

"We were exiled from the City because my Brother was exposed to the Sourozenec Curse. They assumed we would bring them disaster if we continued to live there" Lux replied.

"Wait, did you say Sourozenec? The curse that struck the brother with the same date of birth?" asked Lux, slightly dumbfounded.

"You know about the curse?" Lux frowned.

"Yes, a Bar Owner just told us about it." replied Riel.

"Keinn?" ask Lux, confirming her conjecture.

"Do you know him?" this time it was Seira who asked, she was already standing next to Riel at the moment.

"He always gave me food to give to Liz, actually he also told me how to cure the curse, but I couldn't do it" Lux said, gloomily.

"He knows how to cure his curse?!" riel asked, not believing Lux's words just now.

Lux sighed, He began to explain how to cure the curse to Riel, "Yes, he said I have to defeat the Monster who is a subordinate of Leviathan the Envious Heart. Because His Holiness Tanderia 4 made a pact with Leviathan to punish his youngest son for his vile deeds based on his jealousy towards his brother. The one with the name of the contract with the Devil would definitely not go as smoothly as what was determined, His Majesty actually only asked Leviathan to punish his youngest son, but Leviathan broke their agreement, the other being the Leviathan, He condemned all children born on the same date as his brother. According to him, it will not have a big effect on human survival, because the possibility of someone born on the same date is very small."

Riel looks impatient to immediately finish off the Monster that Lux told her, her spirit completely smoldering whenever she hears the word Monster that unsettles others. For him now hunting Monsters is a hobby that he can not just leave behind.

"I'm too weak to face the Monster alone, so all I can do right now is take care of Liz and relieve the pain in her body with my magic" Lux said, gloomyly.

Riel patted Lux on the shoulder while showing a confident smile. "Give us the Monster, you take good care of your sister here. When the curse is gone, promise me you'll treat me to a meal at Keinn's, how?"

Lux was a little distrustful of Riel's words, but she could see the hope in Riel's words just now, and she finally agreed to the deal Riel offered her.

"You're coming with me, aren't you, Partner?" riel asked Seira who had more of her mouth shut than before.

"Of course, wherever you go" Seira replied as she gently slapped Riel's arm.

"Emm. I'm sorry about the wound," Lux lowered her head. "I didn't mean to"

"Ah, don't think about it! it's just a small wound" Riel said, cutting off Lux's speech as she embraced it.

"Yes, it's just a minor injury for you, but it's quite troublesome for me to always treat the wounds you get due to your carelessness." protested Seira.

"Hahaha, forgive me." replied Riel without feeling guilty.

Lux tells Riel and Seira where the Monster is. Without further ado, Riel and Seira immediately set off to the designated place with an excited spirit.
