Phoenix Brides

Episode 48's

“The city was filled by

toxic air,” Kanya replied later.

There is an implied sadness

in Kanya's eyes. His mind drifted back to the past. Where is the time

shura City – place designated by Kyra earlier is still a city that

so beautiful filled with boats and shops floating on the surface of the lake.

Before finally becoming the location of the attack by the forces of Declan the King of the Undead and

to be a cursed land that no longer could be inhabited by humans.

Kanya is always trying

forgetting those bad memories obviously didn't want to go back there. Lake where

born and lived have become polluted, filled with creatures

disgusting who brings plague and curse.

“Forget your intention, Kyra.

You will not be able to enter the city.”

Again, Kanya tried

stopping Kyra's intentions. He doesn't want his new friends to be wretched. Especially

Kyra and Meena are only human. It doesn't matter if they are

the bride of a mystical beast though, the durability of the human body was classified as

weak cannot be changed. He and Soli might be able to breathe in that poisonous air,

but Kanya believes they won't last more than a week.

Seeing Kanya's anxiety

usually cold, Kyra becomes doubtful. He understood what Kanya meant,

but Alexi's blue fire led him there. Kyra doesn't have any

another option is to face it bravely.

“I'll still be there.

The blue firebird was there.”

“You sure?”

He looked at Kyra so

seriously, put pressure on his question. If it is true that the fragment

the Phoenix was in Shura city, he could only risk going there.

But if Kyra isn't so sure, Kanya will do anything to stop

Kyras.

“I'm sure. He must be there

there!”

“Then I

understand, but we have to figure out how to deal with that toxic air first

departing.”

“Nona Kanya don't have

solution?”

“If I had, I

won't try to stop Kyra since earlier.”

“Oh, true also.”

Their purpose now

sure, but the problem is they haven't figured out how to handle the air

that poisonous. Even the insightful Soli had no solution. If

here's the story, how did they get on their way?

“Maybe Bara knows

something's. Let's wait and ask Bara tomorrow.”

“For what to wait Bara.

If only the air is poisonous I can also purify it!”

The Meena from earlier

just shut up, suddenly interrupting Kyra's words. He looks so serious, though,

looking at them with pride. It was as if he had just given enlightenment

to the stray cats.

Reflexes, Kanya and Kyra

look at Meena.

“You didn't lie, though,

right?” ask Kanya.

“You really can, though,

Meena?” Directed by Kyra.

“Do not give hope

fake, Miss Meena. We're all being serious here.” Soli was suspicious

at Meena, too dubious are the serious statements of a girl who

he considered him a troublesome boy.

Meena shook

hands while stomping the feet with a cringe. It's gotten this way, too, already,

he is still in doubt.

“You think I don't

never seriously what! You guys forgot what class I was!?”

Although Meena always

difficult and not very reliable in combat. She stays

veteran adventurers. His role as a supporter in the team is always held by him

seriously so. Because he understands very well, if his existence is there to help

his friends.

“I Shaman Rank A! Wrongfully

one of the best in the kingdom!”

“Oh .. true as well. I

forgot,” reply Soli innocently.

“Huft! You were always

just like that to me!”

Meena cross-sections, discards

face on Soli. No matter what the man's reaction was, everything was wrong in the eyes

Meena's. Her job as a guard under the guise of a bodyguard made Meena feel no

comfortable and awkward with Soli. He hates it, angry at the damn Dragon

sending Soli following him everywhere. And Soli who knows well will

the difficult position between them never took Meena seriously.

Always, looking at him suspiciously. Doubt the words and make them

feeling restricted.

“I will protect

all of you,” said Meena, firmly.

Kyra looked at Meena with

wrinkles on the forehead. He exhaled without saying anything. Whereas

Soli looked worried, wanting to say something. Before she spoke, Meena

back chimed.

“Trust me!” Him

patting his chest steadily. He looked at them with his big eyes

lovely. Trying to convince his friends of his abilities

haven't had a chance to shine during their long journey.

“Alright, I believe

you.”

Kyra also surrendered. Him

put both hands on Meena's shoulders. Showing a sincere smile

Meena hope. The girl was also satisfied. He sows a wide smile.

In his heart he promised to hold his word no matter what

later. The trust Kyra gave her would pay off with the proceeds

satisfactorily.

“I know Kyra is the one

best!”

Meena jumped in her arms

them. That reaction really made Kanya feel uneasy. His heart is not calm,

but he chose silence and trust in his partner.

***

After the Bara completed

all the affairs of his kingdom, he had just had time to go see his friends.

The sky was already so dark, with no moonlight at all. Only blue light

the dim of the light stones were installed along the hallway of the palace which became

illumination for him. With hesitation and awkwardness, Bara walked so slowly

towards the room occupied by his friends.

Bara is not sure whether

they are awake or asleep. He knows when he meets them tomorrow

it's not a problem either. It was just that his anxiety made him unable to sleep

and want to talk to someone. That's why he went looking

they don't care how late tonight is.

When he was in

in front of Soli's room, Rhea raises herself from the darkness. No sound of steps

feet were audible, only his faint appearance and the sharp look in his eyes

which made Bara lower back the hand that was already on the door hinge.

“He's asleep. Thirdly

the girl is also asleep,” said Rhea.

Turn around, walk

approaching Rhea who was moving left the place slowly. She looks

like trying to lead Bara somewhere. Anywhere is fine, no problem,

as long as they could speak quietly without waking the troublesome people

who has ignored him since.

“Then you want to

accompany me?”

“I am first

meet you and you still need to ask.”

“Haha, sorry.”

The fox sighed.

Slow down his footsteps following the tempo of Bara who tumben so slow day

these. The Elf man had just been appointed a king, but somehow

he looks unhappy. Even the demon who is used to life

hard to feel sorry for him. Without understanding why his heart could

sympathize with the person who made him a slave.

“Stupid basis. I didn't

need your apology.”

“I know, you

want your freedom.”

“You really ..

liberate me?”

Suddenly Rhea

turning around, stopped suddenly right in front of Bara who had been walking

behind her. His dangerous sharp eyes, made Bara feel claustrophobic. Promises

to free Rhea after her people are revived will surely be her

teeter. But in the heart, there is pressure that makes him want to buy time

as long as possible.

“Since the beginning, I didn't

I once loved the concept of a child. Everyone, no matter what race

entitled to freedom. We had to tie you up because we were

can't beat you nor protect ourselves from you.” Guilt.

That was what Bara always felt whenever he was being tough and forcing Rhea

with an order that the fox demon could not refute.

“So you want to say

if you're not afraid of me now?”

Bara laughed empty. Noth

for not being afraid, but he no longer wanted to treat Rhea badly.

Even if he wanted to keep the fox woman for as long as possible with him, but he

more do not want to trample the feelings of the person who helped him get

back to his precious family.

“I'll set you free

now,” reply Bara.

“Sorry to drag you all the way to

here's. If you're still angry and vengeful for us, take it out on me. Don't

blame my friends. I have controlled and ruled you all this time,

not them.” After Bara releases the contract that binds him to Rhea, he

clutching the fox's hand. Pleading with frustration swallowed by his guilt.

The anger that has been all this time

Rhea felt filled her heart. Honestly, he wanted to shake Bara's hand,

then clawed that handsome face to shreds. Even when they finally

fighting to kill each other, he will not regret as long as the taste

his revenge of being enslaved could be avenged. However, the attitude of the little

melancholy. And his thoughts are still to protect friends who will

immediately parted with it, making Rhea who had never felt

the warmth doubted.

It's true he hates

Bara, but he also understood that the hatred between them was started by

his actions. And everything he witnessed during their months-long journey

this, made Rhea slightly change. The value of friendship, genuine sacrifice, the,

and the high honesty in Bara's squad and his friends makes Rhea can

seeing the world from a different side. His life for thousands of years was filled

by the enemy, so it's like a nightmare when compared to a child's life

that young.

“Oke, you won. I

assume our debt is breakeven.”

Simply put, Rhea just

feeling tired. His desire to fight was gone when his eyes were glared

finding weakness in the self. His heart was completely empty and

he will only look more miserable if he cannot see the time

a future who continues to be caught up in his past mistakes.

“Thank you, Rhea.”

“Stupid basis. You're the one

like this is really not suitable to be a king.”

A smile of relief

it made Rhea feel even more awkward. Hence, he shook his hand

Embers. Then ran away without wanting to perform the only farewell ritual

it will make them even more awkward. From the beginning, they were not friends.

But a better enemy is never found again forever.

“So that much you hate

me?”

Stunned, stand up

petrified while staring at his hand that was still trying to grab something that had been

lost from before him. He laughed, questioning something that was already

very clear truth. He also regretted not being able to say anything

what he really wanted to say when he finally realized what the feeling was

continued to make his heart soften towards Rhea.
