A few seconds made King Dexter speechless until Starla's question was digested, making her face change. His face was as if there was disappointment with deep sadness, there was a heat beginning to spread inside Starla's room. Feeling the discomfort of his lover, Cleo quickly grasped the hand of King Dexter and gently rubbed it.
"I can't prevent that snake woman from getting my royal black dragon, I was late by then and she already took her away, all that remains is a cup that I have now stored in my room. Did something happen or did you know? " said King Dexter with a lowered face.
Without answering King Dexter, the priest gave the remaining paper scroll in his hand, carefully King Dexter opened and read the inscription in the scroll. The look on his face was now flushed red with his anger with sharpened eyes making the heat spread again in Starla's room, Cleo who was reading now also clenched her hands.
Seeing the change of the two creatures made Achela again fly the scroll in the hands of King Dexter who was not held properly, despite getting an unclear gaze. Achela doesn't care, now's not the time to follow anyone's feelings.
"Cleo! It's time for you to return to training, doesn't as a student you have the last assignment from your teacher?! Or your feelings of being selfish? " achela said with a satirical impression.
Hearing that Cleo's ears felt heated, not denied if the exercise was very messy even though the concentration did not fade due to longing and anxiety in his heart. Since his separation with King Dexter when the state of his lover was still losing his soul until the transfer that did not unite the two made Cleo not focus even in her heart just want to see and ensure the state of the King Dexter's.
**flashback
"Focus Cleo! This moon rock should be active before the Lunar Eclipse in the next few days!" achela exclaimed the umpteenth time that Cleo had repeatedly broken her concentration.
With his ability, making Achela know the contents of the mind of Cleo, where the girl was only focused on her lover. Although it has been repeatedly said that King Dexter is fine and safe in the Sky Kingdom Palace but the girl is as if deaf and still disperse her concentration until the fairy Fyra runs out of her energy to teaching Cleo to use the Moon Stone.
Fairy Fyra who had just recovered from the plague of the fairies had to be faced with quite a strenuous task, awakening the Moon Stone core. Where the Moon Stone will turn into something that is still unknown, but from the message of its Master, the Moon Stone must be active before the next lunar eclipse.
Where a hidden place would be seen in that night and only the Moon Stone could open the place, even though its master would use the Moon Stone, the moon stone can only be activated by the guard. Cleo was the guard and only the girl could make her master's goal accomplished, but what is the power of the fairy Fyra if all her energy must be wasted because the girl in front of her was only half conscious and her soul was left in the same place.
Achela's frustration culminated after the events of the gold leaf falling without rest, a gust of wind that hinted at the start of her next prophecy made Achela careless to see Cleo's seriousness, especially after his conversation with Clara through the mind. Achela was increasingly unable to withstand her resentment but all immediately buried along with her master's orders, and now the frustration began to be unleashed when getting the opportunity**.

"Cleo! Are you all right? " ask King Dexter who saw his lover daydream after hearing Achela's words.
"Eeh.Yes I'm good, sorry. Let's practice, this time I promise to do it with all my heart, soul and body" Cleo said, staring at the cat.
After giving a nod of his head to King Dexter, Cleo had already made a mature decision after thinking and reminiscing about some of the time that had passed. The decision to fulfill his responsibilities as a student, his promise to the teacher with every memory that makes him live up to this moment and find love in his mission.
Hearing that made Achela calm and visible from the girl's eyes a seriousness that had not been shown, but the gaze of the Queen Mother and Starla looked like a confused person. Wasn't it originally discussing the black Dragon then suddenly turning to something else that neither of them understood, seeing the situation made Achela sigh.
"Cleo was the guardian of the Moon Stone, a gemstone that became the center of the four kingdoms. Where in the past the Stone was said to have been stolen by the ruler of the demon kingdom, because when the three rulers sought the missing moon stone, the Moon stone was in the hands of the ruler of the demon kingdom. No matter what really happened until finally the Moon Stone is now in Cleo's hands because her teacher asked her to take care of the Moon Stone, well that's how it is." achela explained briefly the history of the Moon.
Achela does not say about the Moon Stone being the key to a place or situation that is increasingly entering the next prophecy, because both Achela and Clara are a frequency. Both will keep secrets to protect everyone, the less one knows the state of nature towards destruction, the more freely he and his Master carry out his responsibilities without making others trapped deeper in the circle of light.
Hearing that made the Queen Mother and Starla understand, but not with King Dexter who had to hold back his anger. Not because he did not know the history of royal hostility but because from one of the history books, he found a truth that was not spread throughout nature. The truth of the ruler who is now being discussed, the ruler was indeed carrying the Moon Stone run but after the other three rulers accused him of stealing.
Achela, who knew the contents of King Dexter's mind, could only pretend to be indifferent and save it so that it could be discussed with Clara. At the same time a voice entered his mind and with a smile Achela returned the voice quickly, the priest who noticed Achela's change could only think of what had happened without a single word.
"Suri's mother, aren't the fairies back? " asked Achela in a soft voice making King Dexter and Cleo look at each other, as the cat looked very sweet with a soft voice.
"Peri Zianka, fairy Gracia and Fairy Henna are in my room" replied the Queen Mother with a question mark.
"Cleo stay here! The fairies will teach you to activate the Moon Stone, and you King Dexter come to the border with the Princess of the Sky Kingdom. Didn't the leader of this kingdom want to feel like fighting on the battlefield? " said Achela with one breath.
Looking at the two sides in turn, and from the two sides there was no rejection made Achela smile happily, although there are questions from those who cannot be uttered except one person who will definitely give questions after the decision is made.
"King Dexter bring Cleo to rest first, before tomorrow his life without pause to rest. And prepare yourself to go to the border with me, my soldiers will bring you clothes." said Starla and turned her eyes to the window behind her.
The two creatures left Starla's room and now have 4 lives left with a locked magic room door, where the Queen Mother has used her air element shield magic to protect their conversation. Achela knew this was her time to be more serious than before, before the questions did not stop coming then it was better to explain without one question than the other three lives.
"Lady Cristal asked me to do another task and bring the priest with me, while Princess Starla had to intervene to reverse the position of the border that had been captured. The Dexter King did not have the black Dragon, but after all he was the master of the Dragon, he still had hope of distracting the black Dragons, and Cleo has to activate the Moon Stone immediately before the lunar eclipse, which is only a few days away" Achela said.
"I'll talk to brother later, Go, tell ka Clara. All will be well and I will protect the sky kingdom with my own life, whatever your decision I will support." said Starla began to tidy up the scattered scrolls.
"Son? " said the Queen Mother worried.
"I'm good grandma, it's nothing much. I know big brother is much more facing danger out there, I can feel that. I hope as her brother can ease a little of her burden and responsibility towards nature, but what power I have. Even nature did not make me as strong as my sister, but her every piece of advice has always been my role model." Starla replied looking at the Queen Mother with a sincere smile.
The queen mother can only approach her granddaughter by giving a warm hug and a head stroke so that Starla is strong with every problem even though her heart is not denied also sliced because of Starla's statement.
*I hope Clara survives to the end, Lord if fate takes her from this world, please just exchange her for my life. One happiness even Clara still did not feel it properly, do not take her good destiny.* Inner Queen Mother closed her eyes.
Seeing the situation that became haru and sad made Achela and the pastor leave the two women without saying goodbye, although the pastor did not know where his goal was but he knew wherever it must be his medical science is needed.

"This wish, give it to my son. Please free my family from the cursed creature.a.k..."." said someone in a soft voice.
The squeezing hand now fell with his eyes closed, the breath leaving his body was now over. The crack is no longer heard with a voice that can no longer be continued but a hand covered with blood is now grasping an object that becomes a trust.
"Rest in peace, thank you for your sacrifice. I hope I'm not late and another victim falls again! " rumbling.
