The Journey of Eternity

The Journey of Eternity
Trace 60 - Sacrifice of the Knights.



Amidst the struggle to get the jewel, suddenly something appeared and distracted the two of them, especially Verles himself. He ran over to a woman who was standing somewhat hidden behind a large tree on the edge of the forest. Suddenly when he got in front of him, this body immediately felt weak because of it.


The place where Verles who had suddenly limped and regained consciousness in the tree, a woman walked up to him. He stared at the man in front of him then glanced at something below. The woman's face was very pale, with a simple thin dress covering her body, she looked a little creepy.


“Mr Verles... I ask once more... Will you stay here?” leira said with an unchanging look on her face.


For a moment, the man simply straightened his body and looked down miserably. Then he raised his face in despair, not daring to look into the eyes of the woman in front of him, because he was full of guilt.


“What is that you expect, Miss.?”.


“It's true..”


“Alright, I'll stay. Do whatever you want to!” Verles suddenly groaned in pain, spewing blood from his mouth.


“Sacrifice yourself, to liberate this island... Mr. Verles.”.


The woman had already pierced right into Verles' stomach with her left hand and made a wide hole in it. He pulled something out of Verles' stomach and grabbed it. Walking slowly, he went towards the gem and dripped the blood until it melted the plant that covered the gem. His eyes floated by themselves, grabbing Leira's hand in his grasp.


He returned with a bright red jewel in his hand and pointed it at Verles, who was still enduring the pain in his stomach. The wound on his body could recover completely, exactly what happened with Arlo who used to. But because of something that was within the woman's hand, she could not recover as usual and this time she would actually die.


From a distance, someone ran up fast. Along with the big spear in his right hand and the overflowing wind.


“Actually…! what's going on here!” Trisia darted quickly with her huge spear.


He slashed at the woman standing right in front of Verles, but the spear just pierced through, as if there was nothing there. Until the moment Trisia almost toppled over from penetrating it, the woman's hand had already pierced the girl's back and made the same hole in her stomach. The girl immediately vomited blood from her mouth and fell on the ground.


“Tria...! Waitaminute! free my daughter!”


“Sorry, but it can't be done, Mr. Verles. Since both of you are blood and the blood of your immortality is also flowing in this girl's body, then both of you should be sacrificed together.”.


“Ark! What is... you…? Miss Leira, right? What really happened!” it was the Trisians who were still enduring the pain.


“Your father sacrificed himself for his long-standing promise, this gem will replace the gem that has been in the stomachs of both of you..” Said the woman, lifting her jewel up high.


Simultaneously, Trisia's body lifted up and moved by standing tall in front of her father. They were both aligned with wide-open wounds. Hands with the flaming red jewel, slowly moved back into the stomachs of the two of them until they fully entered and penetrated Verles' body in the back.


“Arkk...!” the two groaned with a fast, together with his brightly lit parma.


“Stop! Please Stop...” Saying someone from a distance.


At the same time, Arlo with his large horde dashed desperately towards the two of them. But his steps suddenly stopped because of something that was blocking in the middle of the road. A beautiful woman's fire shadow with a robe and short skirt that partially covered her body.


“Good night... Prince Arlo, long time no see, yes…? Whoa! looks like something interesting happened here?” the woman's lyrics with a faint smile towards Arlo.


“Queen Filora Alice... what do you want!” snapped Arlo with a look full of hate.


“Ohh... Ahahaha, just calm down Prince Arlo. I'm just being sent a message from someone you might know, Prince Daniel is waiting for you with my great army at the Dangerous Crakc. Hurry up, they will go to the most fragile place.the remote village, you know.. hahaha...”.


The woman laughed with her roar as she glanced at the extremely furious Arlo. Arlo's hand was really itchy, he slashed the shadow with a smoldering scythe and the shadow was erased just like that.


Until the moment the shadow was erased, the scene hidden from behind the blaze of shadows began to look back, exposing the terrible things that had happened. The two people standing on the tree slowly disappeared, as the woman in front of him turned towards him.


“Wait..!” Arlo stared in despair, along with the five people behind him.


Slowly, Leira walked over to Arlo who was already looking very desperate. Until the woman stops right in front of Arlo and puts her face close to Arlo's ears. Instantly, he immediately nodded and looked back at the woman.


After that, Leira yawned and just vanished, leaving them all to die. While Arlo walked up to Eri then stood next to him and whispered something in the girl's ear. Suddenly, Eri was immediately surprised and stared back at Arlo in front of him.


“It looks like this will be really bad..” said Eri grasping Arlo's hand.


“This will indeed be a nightmare.”


Under Arlo's command, they darted eastward and jumped into the sea. A huge wave hit the cliff and formed a large ship that was already floating in the ocean. The six people there were already standing firmly on the water which was slowly beginning to turn dark red.


Arlo stood at the very front point with his wide smile, staring intently at the destination island. The four people behind only fell silent with anxious faces mixed in fear. While Eri who was standing right behind Arlo just looked down sad with what Queen Filora said before.


“Nona, if maybe we are late, does this indeed not work.?” chirps Arlo turned her body with a serious look.


...(----------------)...


A man with a large horn on his head, stood on the edge of the sea cliff staring at the sky that was only filled with dark cloud. A moment later, a woman in a robe and short skirt, walked slowly closer to him from behind. He stopped right next to the man by twitching his body while stroking the man's head.


“So, what are your plans now... Daniel...?”


“We mikmati only, Queen.”.


“Why do you keep calling me that, hihihi..”.


On a vast, arid plain, a large army of demons lined up neatly. A huge portal behind him, ushering in even more demons from another world. A similar man, walked slowly from within that line towards the front line. Following the same woman, they stopped right in front of the large line.


“It will end now...”.


...(----------------)...


“Arlo...your task this time, will definitely fail...” Leira's gentle whisper in Arlo's ear.
