The Rising Sun

2 Yuki's

Mermaid Forecast.

The prophecy says that I will give birth to three sons and one daughter. Children who carry an extraordinary destiny.

The first child of a leader.

The second son is a fighter

The third son is a thinker

and the fourth child is a protector

Four children who carry a great destiny.

At first Reverend Serfa did not care if I died after giving birth to a child who continued the throne of Garduete kingdom. But as soon as he heard the prophecy. Mind's changed. He wanted the children to be the Successors of the Garduete kingdom. The children born of a Ciel must be very precious. He wants them all. Therefore, with a cold heart, He told Prince Sera the truth.

Indirectly, He is the one who doled death to Prince Sera. He knew, Prince Sera would not let me die. He also knew that Prince Riana should not die because of Nara. Prince Riana must survive to protect Nara in a cruel royal situation until Nara is able to protect herself. Only Prince Sera is the only one who can take my death.

I felt an outpouring of emotion inside me when I thought of everything.

Prince Sera gave his throne to Prince Arana. He finished all his business, breaking away from the royal life on the grounds of wanting to focus with me lately. It's just an excuse. The truth is He wanted to spend time with me before He died.

That's truth.

I walk slowly. Towards Reverend Serfa who was silent in his place. When I stood before him. I looked at her with emotions raging inside my chest.

"Are you satisfied now" I whispered in a trembling voice. Reverend Serfa lowered his head in a respectful manner.

"I'm sorry about the Prince's death..."

Pllakk !!!

I slapped Pastor Serfa hard. The Noble Asry seemed to have almost come to us to break up. But the Xasfir Nobles held him back.

Everyone looked at the two of us without anyone commenting. I dropped my hands on both sides of my body. Look around. Their sympathetic look made such a deep sorrow in my heart. It hurts more than when I lost the Dalto Nobles, Father or Rena.

I stepped back. Curly kept following me. Holding on my shoulder. I walked away leaving them behind me.

The memories of when I was with Prince Sera were repeated inside my head. How we first met. He's so nice and warm. I like his blue eyes. Pleasant blue sea. Her smile is charming. When we first chatted in the cook room when I ran away from the guards of Prince Riana. When he kissed me for the first time. When He asked me to escape from Prince Riana's care and we watched the show together. Every kindness. All love.

He's like my sun. Meeting him is like getting a shooting star, always brings good luck. In our meeting, there were wounds and tears. My anger made me leave him. But if I think of all that happiness and sadness...I realized that this is our happiness. It's also happiness.

I keep moving my feet. Smoke still billows inside the dome. The sound of lightning roared out. Not how long it rained down hard enough.

I let my clothes get wet.

By ourselves.

Now I'm on my own.

He's already gone. My eyes have left me.

Feelings numb. I don't know how to. This is my nightmare. I still remember how Prince Sera seemed happy when he found out I was going to have four children. He looks happy. Inside her eyes it was obvious that she did not care whether Nara was her child or not. Just so happy it was enough for him. He had a dream.build a family with me. Without thinking that the happy news brought by the Mermaids became his death certificate later on.

Did the Mermaid Princess already know this ?. Did Lekky know that too ?. Therefore He was silent as I grieved at Prince Sera's change of attitude. Lekky learns of Prince Sera's plans.

At the end of the road. I saw the holy priest standing looking up at the sky. The rain soaked his frail body. He was with his disciples, who were waiting faithfully behind him. I kept walking closer to him.

"Do you know this from the beginning ?" I asked when I was close enough to the holy priest. I've thought about it too. The Holy Priestess did not put too much pressure on Prince Sera to bring me back then. Because He knew that in the end Prince Seralah who would sacrifice pulled the holy seal. He told me to come to protect my children. A child born of a ciel.

I kind of hate that. Blood Ciel. My blood. To all these people is grace. But to me this is a curse. I've lost a lot of people I love because of the blood that runs through my body. There have been enough lives lost because of me.

"I am the guardian of this world. Not a destiny changer. Life and death were written long before we were born. We humans just live it. My boy...Don't waste the abuse. Rest assured that someday you will be together" said the Holy Priest in his wise voice.

I clenched my hand. Clenching my lips tight. "Just keep it all to yourself, pastor" I said softly. I'm back walking. Passed it. Heading to the holy temple.

Maybe because of the sadness I felt. Such a huge emotional burden. I felt my world spinning suddenly. Before long I felt the darkness envelop me.
