Alessia's POVI can feel the heat from the fire. I'm now huddled in a corner while Sushi is still unconscious. I'm already feeling worried because he still hasn't woken up until now. Sushi was breathing, and I couldn't see any other signs that would worry me more. All I know now is that I have to protect him.Maybe this will pass and everything will be fine. Sushi will also wake up as if nothing happened. I hope that when I wake up tomorrow he will be fine.I remembered what happened earlier when I came back from Cerberus's cave."This is all I got." I tried not to stutter as I faced Erigor who was carrying more wood than I had managed to get before the Slither attacked me."Is there little wood there?" He asked me in surprise. He put what he got on the floor."Yeah, it's all I got," I answered him.Erigor looked at me as if surprised. He noticed that my clothes were dirtier than before we broke up."What happened to you?" I frowned when he asked me so I looked at myself."I-I slipped
Alessia's POVWe are now facing a steep road, or it can be called a road because it is a climb if you want to go to the top. It's too steep for a road."This is where we're going." He promised me.I can't count the cheapness that I lost in my mind. I just told myself that I don't know how to climb steep places and here we are now, going to climb this."W-is there no other way here?" I asked him hesitantly. I don't seem to want to see the place he is talking about because of the steep road."There's no easy way to a good place, Ales. It's always hard to get there because you'll be greeted with unforgiving beauty when you get past it." He deeply promised me. I feel that every word he utters has a meaning. Of course that made sense, but I didn't expect it from him."For every joy, there is a bitter past...is that what you mean?" I confirmed with him.Erigor looked at me. "You got it. All the success and glory there's a wounded and scarred warrior lurking behind. Because true success is h
Alessia's POVI eat grilled meat. I still can't believe it was all a dream. I feel that the accident that happened to me was real. No matter how hard I try to convince myself, there is something in my heart that says that they happened.But my mind became more confused because of an unexpected dream—about the fairies who first settled here in Wysteria.The Agamemnon in my dream was far from what I expected. In my mind or imagination, he is full of darkness and scary. But he is the opposite of my dream. He is a wonderful being who can do anything to protect his child. He is just a father who loves his son very much. But what do they say Sushi Agamemnon, the king of darkness is the one who will bring everyone's doom?Is my mind just playing tricks on me? Dreams are not real, so they may be just a figment of my imagination. But I can't stop thinking about the possibilities. I can't even be sure that Agamemnon is the one in my dream. How can I dream of someone without meeting him? Not unl
Alessia's POV"I've arrived!" I almost shouted that Erigor stopped and looked back at me.He frowned because of what I said. "What do you mean?" He asked me in wonder while his hands were on the cursed flowers. Not afraid of the bad luck they bring.I swallowed. I couldn't help but scream that especially and that dream was messing with my mind and now, I can see it here. I couldn't help but think that the dream had a meaningful message."I-I dreamed about this—last night. This place, like this, and then there were—""—fairy. Am I right?" I was stunned by Erigor's interruption of what I said. Not only that but also because of what he said about the fairy."H-how did you know?" I can't explain how I feel right now. I am very confused by what is happening. Everything gets more complicated as time goes on.Erigor smiled at me as if telling me not to worry."Because I've dreamed of them several times. Over and over in my dreams, a king of the fairies took his son away to save him. But that
Alessia's POVI WILL die...I feel weak because of that word that is drowning in my mind. What if the moment I touch the stone, I die? What's the point of me struggling to live if in the end it's just wasted? I am in a difficult situation where I have to shop. Can I risk my life to escape? I'll still have the desire to get out of here if I'm going to die too?"Is...there any other way for me to get out of here?" I can't stop asking. I'm afraid to bet. I know I sound cowardly, but it's hard to gamble on something you don't know what's going to happen and there's no certainty.That's the only way and choice you have, daughter of eve.My will weakens and fear consumes me. But if I don't do anything, I will be imprisoned in this place for life. I didn't even bother him calling me the daughter of eve. That's the very least of my concern.How will you know if you're going to succeed if you don't try?It was like the sound of a bell ringing in my ears. That's what Erigor told me in my dream.
Alessia's POVSilence prevailed between Erigor and me. I couldn't speak because all my attention was on him. I'm afraid that if I get distracted, I'll ruin it right away. I cannot underestimate his ability, because it would be a big mistake to underestimate him.We were both waiting to see who would attack first. But I have no intention of getting ahead. I will be in a disadvantageous position if I will attack first. I looked at Sushi who still had a fierce look on his face.Mine own mistress, receiveth out from there! Thee has no chance against your creature!I feel that what Sushi says is true. To be honest, I have nothing against Erigor, especially with his body which is stretched. But if I don't fight, what will I do? I'll just let him hurt me and do what he wants. I can't agree with that.In the middle of my thoughts, Erigor suddenly attacked and it hit my stomach so I was thrown backward. I rolled around in the garden and I could feel that my arms were covered with wounds due to
Alessia's POVI am smeared with my tears because my vision is dimming at the bottom of the cliff. I can't seem to accept that he fell off the cliff and he saved me, that I should have saved him. He did something wrong, but I changed my view of him. In every evil, there is a hidden well. And just like good, there is underlying evil.Even the relic also fell down the cliff. Why do things seem to be getting worse? When will these problems end? How do I tell Elijah—or should I say how do I get out of here now that Erigor is gone?I clenched my fists and felt the torn fabric from Erigor's neck. I held it up to look. The cloth was dirty and I also noticed Erigor's braided necklace. I can now see the stone he sculpted up close.It's rough and I'd say it's badly carved, but when I think about it, it's the only memory left of Erigor, along with this place he called La Krispana.I let go of the dirty cloth. I hid the necklace that was the memory of Erigor in my pocket. I will never forget this
Alessia's POVWe were all speechless. All our eyes are on the creature in front of us. It's also strangely similar to Faris who doesn't look like a whole person.He has long black hair. His ears are similar to a dog placed on top of his head, but his face is so human—but unearthly beautiful. His eyes are golden. His body is naked but is covered with lush hair from his waist down. It's like pants made of fur. His body is so ripped. His fingers are long and slim with sharp nails. He's a perfect definition of a human beast.He looks very clean because of his whiteness. Then, he must be the Cerberus, in human form. The scar from his cheek down to his neck is noticeable. I frowned because of the intense familiarity of that scar."Cerberus?" I couldn't stop saying as I stood in front of him. He's towering above me, he and Elijah are the same height. They have the same build and are both unearthly beautiful."I am, child." He answered and it was like a bell in my ears. I frowned and an idea
