Legend of the Moon Crystal

Chapter 149 "Incomprehension"

Iloania and Lasius step together as the two step through the forest area. Light footprints with the accompaniment of comfortable natural sounds make the atmosphere softer and soothing even though in reality they are still rushed by time.

"It's a shame that Roe's grandfather stopped me from going back in there after I made it. So, I can't say goodbye to Roe's grandfather and Moxart's uncle."

Hearing Iloania's statement made Lasius smile and nod his head, confirming what the lover had just said. Since Iloania appeared, Mozart also disappeared, and there is only a message that says that Lasius and Iloania must continue the journey, and forget the place they once went. Mozart was a great teacher, and was sad enough to admit that Lasius should not even say goodbye and ask for the blessing of salvation directly.

"It's okay. Maybe one day we'll meet them again, right?"

Iloania nodded her head and smiled. "Yes, brother!"

"By the way, do you now know your true identity?" Lasius smiled, "I didn't mean anything. But even if your identity doesn't match what's in front of me right now, you're still Iloania Rexelite. The first girl I ever loved in this world."

Iloania tilted a smile later before slightly tilting her head. "Will Brother Sius give me a moment? I'm still trying to understand the truth about my identity. When I confirm it, I will immediately tell Sister SIus and I promise I will not cover anything from Sister SIus."

"Of course, Ilo." Lasius said, "You can always have time."

The two stepped back along the river. The shadow trail bounced off the calm river. Fish sometimes ripples and dragonflies sometimes jump above the surface of the water before flying off again in the air. Iloania looked down at the river and revealed a truly sincere, gentle smile, without the slightest false smile she used to display in public.

"Thank you for coming with me, Brother Sius."

His voice was soft and slow, almost like a whisper. Lasius turned his head, looking at Iloania with a loving look in his eyes before grabbing the girl's hand and grasping it.

Iloania turned her head and found a smile on Lasius' face that made her smile too. Then, the two walked side by side.

...***...

"Amore!!"

"Amore!!!"

Darkness wrapped around as slowly the darkness became a little more faint. Like a glass crack, there's an image inside. A cloaked man approached something lying on top of the rubble. His right hand carried a small and sharp long sword, stained with red blood that was still dripping.

His face and strands of hair covered by robes made his identity difficult to see, and the fragments that looked chaotic enough to be just like a broken film tape.

He slowly crouched down, staring at the tiny baby lying on a white, blood-stained cloth. Her warm breath gently greeted, and her round cheeks were reddish by the natural color due to the coldness she felt. Her thin golden hair strands that were only as long as the fingers of the hand fell covered her forehead.

She looked like a fairy in the sea of blood and sea of fire.

When the baby opened his eyes, a pair of gold beads that glistened like stars in the middle of the darkness were able to shake the heart of anyone who saw it. The man's expression was illegible, the blade of his sword was still he held in his left hand and he extended his blood-stained right hand to greet the round cheek of the baby who was looking at him with a gaze filled with curiosity.

"You want to die?"

"Ilania."

His voice grew colder and darkness immediately swallowed the fragment. The picture that occurs is getting swallowed and the sound is getting thinner.

"Say, you want ..."

"Illania!"

Darkness swept across the entire scene. When Iloania opened her eyes, what she saw was the night sky that looked so overcast. Cold air swept over his body even though he had used a thick robe. There was a trace of confusion, anxiety and ignorance on his face when he then turned his head and looked at Lasius who reached out to touch his cheek.

"Hey, Ilo. You're not what?" He asked with worry.

"I called you many times, but you did not wake up. Sorry, did I surprise you? We need to get to the cave immediately because it looks like it's going to rain. Hallias has already helped find a safe cave and it's only a few tens of meters from here."

"You're dreaming again? About Amore and Callisto?"

Iloania stared straight ahead for a while before gently sighing. "I'll tell Brother Sius. But let's go to the cave first. Brother Sius said the rain will come soon."

Lasius nodded and immediately led the Ilania Kegua that Hallias had intended. Lasius immediately made a bonfire to warm the bodies of the two of them when in a few minutes later, it rained heavily outside. Iloania put up a barrier that made the outside sound not so loud inside the cave that it echoed, so that when they spoke, both of them could clearly hear the other party's words.

The two sat next to each other on an Iloania bed, looking at the small but warm blaze in front of them.

"Actually, maybe I'm Amore."

Iloania's first statement made Lasius look at her a little surprised. "You're Amore? What are you dreaming about?"

Iloania nodded her head. "The story is so long. Really long. If I tell you, I don't know if Brother Sius will believe me or not."

Lasius looked at Iloania. "I'll always believe you, Ilo."

"When I used my time magic back then, I woke up in a place. It's like a room with strangers I don't know. But strangely, I felt close and familiar with the atmosphere, as if, I had experienced it myself."

Iloania started to tell stories in a slow voice. The light from the flame gave a clearer vision to notice his perfect sculptured face without any gaps. "Amore and Callisto that I dreamed about, I saw it clearly there. A pair of blue eyes that were as clear as the ocean, and blond hair. That's Amore. While Callisto, green eyes that are the color of leaves and blonde too."

"Amore and Callisto are brothers. Their parents were a king and queen, with an elder brother named Charles, crown prince of the Emerald Kingdom."

Lasius widened his eyes. "Emerald Kingdom?"

Iloania. "Silver Sius knows something about the Emerald kingdom?"

Lasius nodded his head. "I only heard this from my mother, who was a close friend of the Queen of the Emerald Kingdom, Euraselle Axortia."

Iloania's bead widened, but she did not interrupt or say anything and let Lasius tell her, "Ten-eight years ago, the kingdom was a large and prosperous kingdom. Since the birth of the youngest princess of the Emerald kingdom whose identity is still a mystery, the kingdom has been increasingly successful. But right on the day of the twelve-year-old princess, there was an attack from the kingdom of Arbel who actually cooperated with the Emerald Kingdom."

Iloania firmly, "That incident, the princess was killed right?"

Lasius nodded his head. "Daughter, Callisto and the King were killed at the time."

Lasius' statement shocked Iloania. "His Majesty the King was also killed?"

Lasius nodded his head. "The events are not so clear, but at that time, actually the Emerald Kingdom has won. However there was something odd that made the entire user of the crystal element get killed. Fortunately, all users of the crystal element that did not exist in the kingdom survived, including the Crown Prince and Queen Euraselle."

"Iloania, your dreams, your dreams really are?" Lasius looked at Iloania with a gaze that seemed to find something big. "Are you Amore?"

Iloania's gaze moved on Lasius. "I can't understand brother. I did dream about it, however, what about the other six?"

"Six ... others?"

Iloania rubbed her temple. "It's weird. I see every life, and the love they feel is always the thing that ends as a tragedy. Lova and Christopher, Rema and Asta, Luce and Hesian, Lamona and Asyra, Samantha and Theor, Anorexia and Zeron as well as Amore and Callisto."

Iloania looked at Lasius with a slightly difficult gaze to decipher. "If I were Amore ..."

"Then what do the other six visions I saw mean?"
