LUX OBSCURA, Story From Fantasy World

Fractional Fate

The morning breeze swept gently in the treatment room where Elisya woke up. The scent of medicine and the silence of the night filled the air. His body was wrapped in bandages, the marks of the exhausting battle seemed to be depicted on every wound. As he tried to get up, his steps were still unsteady.

"Master princess is awake! The guard! Get the queen's mother!" exclaimed a nurse, astonishment was drawn on her face seeing Elisya was conscious.

In an instant, the queen stepped in, embracing Elisya tightly. Happy tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Son! I thought I'd lose you too!" he cried, feeling relieved because the child had recovered from his long sleep.

Elisya, with a face that still looks dizzy, then asked, "Where are you?"

Uncertainty was reflected in his eyes. Memories of the fight emerged, and he tried to get up.

"Arrghhh.. brother!" elisya shouted, throwing her bedding, trying to crawl to find the whereabouts of her brother.

The mother tried to move Elisya back to the mattress, frantically calling the doctor and nurses to see the condition of her son who was still weak.

However, when help arrived, Elisya deliberately escaped, locking them with an ice frame in the middle of the door he had created for a while.

"Son, you're not well! Don't force yourself! Please go back to your bed!" pinta the mother, her hand hit the ice that Elisya made.

With her unstable physical state, Elisya tried to reach her brother's room.

"Brakk!" The door opened loudly.

Elisya still had a hard time accepting the fact that her brother was gone in the fighting arena.

His gaze turned to a table beside the bed. A letter caught his attention. With the gentle morning sunlight shining down, Elisya sat on the brother's bed and opened the letter.

"For my foolish and spoiled sister! If you read this letter, it means your great brother is gone. Hehe, from the very beginning we started the fight, big brother has no intention to kill you. It is better that the brother who died than the brother should take the life of his own sister, Elisya. Look, brother, sometimes life is like a shard of glass that can't be connected anymore. Some of the realities we face are part of a destiny we may not be able to avoid. I hope you get used to this cruel reality. Even though you're not my real sister, maybe mom and dad kept this a secret because they had their own intentions. But even though we have no blood relation, to me, you are already like my own real sister... At the time, my sister was 4 years old. Brother is very lonely. That's when you look up at the sky and hope to the stars at night so you can give your brother a playmate. Suddenly, the elder brother walked in front of the royal room and heard the sound of the crying of a baby boy. Brother curious! Brother went into my room and saw my mother holding you! Back then, you were very noisy and excited! Even your cry overwhelmed one palace hahaha, you couldn't stop crying! That's funny, isn't it? Though mother has carried you, but there is no one in this kingdom who can calm you down except your brother! Know it? At that time, brother tried to comfort you with a small butterfly-shaped flame, and at that moment you were glued to your eyes to see the butterfly light. You start to stop crying and laugh a little, and that's when you always put you to sleep with the little fire tricks you made... Elisya, I hope you can find the purpose of your life. You know, mom told me once, if we feel trapped by our own thoughts, all we have to do is accept the reality and figure out the best way to deal with it. Hahaha, parents always have a way to entertain their children huh. Later, if someday you are married and become a wife and have children, brother is sure you will be a parent who is beautiful, your son will often be angered by the cute voice of my brother! hahaha. Elisya, the second you read this letter, you've grown up.

happy birthday to my sister "

Elisya's tears were dripping as if every word she read brought her brother to speak beside her. and Elisya found a crystal-shaped blue hair ribbon signifying that it was the last birthday gift from the sister to her sister.

not long after that, the ice frame that made the temporary confinement in the nurse room, slowly melted away, The mother swiftly searched for Elisya's whereabouts, the strong instinct of the mother to her child leads her to a place that Elisya must go to her brother's room, and after seeing the youngest child crying while contemplating on the brother's mattress, she must go to the room, the queen came closer. When she wanted to hug Elisya, the princess suddenly said, "Is it true that everything you wrote is true?"

The mother's warm embrace became the answer, "Yes right, son. You're not my real son, but mom and dad are waiting for a time when we can speak honestly like this and tell you the truth of your true identity. I'm sorry, son!" Tears flowed from the queen's eyes.

"But..why are you keeping this a secret? Why didn't you tell me first?" The mental stress of losing her sister, coupled with the fact that she was not a royal child, made Elisya feel a deep pain.

"Son, father and mother have a good reason why we keep this a secret, including about your sister. Unfortunately, mom and dad can't tell you who your real identity is until the time comes" the mother replied with gentleness.

"When then, ma'am?" elisya shouted in a pressure-filled tone. "Who are my real parents?"

A crying voice filled the room as Elisya cried in her mother's arms, seeking answers to questions that had shaken the foundation of her life.
