Bab 103: THE FIRST SCENE

FOUR sets of footsteps could be heard entering a cave filled with beautiful crystals.  They all looked worn out, as if they had just experienced a lot of ordeal in order to come to this place.  But despite that, there was a glint of anticipation in their eyes.  Not only that, but also hope. 

Hope that at the end of this cave, a light would shine through them. 

Soon, a lake appeared in front of them.  In the center of that lake was a rectangular crystal slab.  It was surrounded by crystal flowers.  And on top of it lay a teenager. 

He had black hair as dark as ebony and skin as translucent as pearl.  The teenager's otherworldly beauty was already a sign that he was not a being the same as them.  The hope in the eyes of the four weary travelers became even brighter.

"It's Lord Aether!  He's really here.  We finally found him!" said the big man wearing a knight's armor.
