Chương 26: Chapter 25

The king quickly took his hand off and hugged his son, he knew that Taeyan tried to handle all that cruel sense and the stone already drained most of his energy.

Taeyan didn't want to sob in front of everyone, especially those greedy eyes on him. He was sad and wanted to take his revenge, pain was slamming through his heart. It wasn't only about the queen, but a betrayal. Someone powerful who was allowed to enter the castle simply without being asked by the guards.

Suran's face redden, apologized quickly, and left the room. Sarya couldn't control herself and started crying quietly, but the king pointed to her. Her gaze rolled on sagged Taeyan. She took him out of there.

Cera and Daria were waiting for him in the garden after approaching them, she said, "please take care of Taeyan, and don't leave him alone."

"What happened, Suran was pretty angry. My brothers went after him" Cera said, his face fell on anxious out of not knowing what's going on.

Sarya was still sobbing and said, "Where did they go?"

"I think they went to the green wizard," Cera said.

Sarya left and Cera stood beside Taeyan which his face was the same as his brother, but too weak to show more reaction, "let's go, I know a suitable place, it's making you calm down, Daria give him something sweet he can't transfer this way,"

"Here, the crystal drained his energy, that's why he was worn out",

As Taeyan rejected his hand they took him and forced him to eat the chocolate. Every color used to turn in a demonic creature and sieged him. He fell on his knees.

"No, I won't be All right, you don't know what I saw". He was carrying deep grief with, the flare of pain in his heart couldn't slow down simply.

"Probably it's much better than being here," Cera said

"Please take me to the magician forest, it must be something there, I need to find a sign," Taeyan looked into his eyes and asked for that desire.

"I'm sorry brother, but for now we can't, there is a guardian fog around it, every elf who gets close to the fog will fell into dementia," Cera said

He put his hand on his face while swallowing tightly said "why?"

"The previous king's rules, because the forest belonged to the magicians whom expulsion for treason crime, we call them the rebellious, now let's go to my private place," Cera said

The place that Cera intended to go to was one of seven gates of fury. Behind the garden in the sky on the top of the river, there were seven floating islands and on each one was one gate, they went up the stairs on the mountain and jumped up on one of the islands, sat on a stone under the olive tree, exactly beside the gate.

"What happened there, did Suran behave you badly?" Cera asked

Taeyan seemed to be calm now and had no patience for talking, his thought was rounding around and quietly said, "No, after I disconnected, he left instantly, but his face turned red out of fury,"

"Yes, he was furious even didn't notice us," Daria finally broke his silence and said something.

He got a little calm and defined everything, Cera became angry and after a few minutes of silence said, "this is unforgivable, many years a betrayal was living between us and we were unaware of everything that had happened across our eyes. Did you notice that person?"

"No he had worn a mask, but from the way that he disappeared shown me that's an elf, but the shine which left after him was red mists," Taeyan said

"Well, because he sold his soul to the devils, was on the way of wrong-doing and the dust after his port changed to red color," Cera said.

"The person that you said "the green wizard" why would my brother meet him? I thought all the wizards left here." Taeyan asked.

"He is the only one who was loyal to the king and he is more an alchemist rather than a wizard, he is not agreed with dark magic, says it's going to detour the way of life and hurt people, but I don't know why would Suran meet him, I just heard Jay saying that. Perhaps he is searching for some information to find the demons' hideaway. It's just a guess".

"Well, which kind of info he can give?" Taeyan said

"If he finds some info about the witches on earth, he will be able to find the place of the red evil," Daria said

"I want to find that betrayal first and I will kill him on my own, now I know why Angle after seeing those filthy demons started shuddering, she was a baby and wasn't able to protect herself against them and her soul shook up."

"Suran is thinking the same way," Cera said.

"He is thinking about terrible things now, just in my opinion," Daria said slowly.

"What do you mean by that?" Taeyan said

"Finding the evils and destroying them first," Daria thoughtfully said.

"I hope he doesn't even think about that issue or whatever, king Sayan won't let him go alone, revenge will make the soul dark," Cera responded while playing with his fingers.

"Go? Where?" Taeyan confusingly asked.

"To kill them all, they made a dirty world, their companions getting more and more, even man's wizards sold their souls, but one day someone must stop them like the prophecy, they have their own world," Daria said

"People say that's just a myth of hyperboles for children to sleep," Cera said.

"I read it in the elf's secret book," Daria said.

"What is this book about?" Taeyan asked.

"Do you remember, I told you about our adventure to a cave inside the Magician forest?" Cera said.

The dark cave underground, a damp and disgusting place, the great wizard –Higo- was living there, one of the cunning and scariest magicians who was alive. Even the other members of his clan didn't trust him, just tried to be nice to him and always obeyed, people said all his sons joined to serve for Abalis after by after and if they rejected it, they have killed by him and he fed his monsters by their flesh.

"Yes I remember, but never said, how you went there or what you found?" Taeyan said.

"By tricking the fog for ten seconds we could go to that forest. The book was invisible, we found it accidentally, there were so many odd things in that place, the book has so many prophecies, but I believe they are not predictions, but all their nasty plans for future and already worked on it, called it prediction to scare people and make them disappointed that their destiny is inconvertible." Cera explained to him when he realized that he has been asking several times.

Daria narrowed his eyebrow and said, "We must give it to the King, perhaps it helps out for so many things,"

"Then we will be punished for hiding it, and other illegals," Cera said.

"Tell me about the prophecy," Taeyan said.

"It calls the Masters of light weapons, it comes from an old myth which calls, "The legend of Taeyan", Cera said

"Why is that my name?"

"Because he is your grandfather's forefather," Cera said

"A half bleed of man and elves, he was known and popular between both kinds, I told you before, we also don't know about the truth, but some says that's just a story, even inscriptions of cliffs say dimly. Anyways no one saw the bow and the sword." Daria said

"He was a blacksmith, they say he made the weapons, after the war has hidden the weapons and when the right time arrives they will come and clean the world from the demons, but there is a leader from a man who will be the king of man and bring justice to them, but maybe the universe guardians knew about it and when the time changes they will help us, time never lies and proves everything," Cera said.

"I think red evils are looking for those owners, to kill them before all predicts in the prophecy come true, if they kill them there will be no uprising and demons will take the kingdom", Daria said.

"We must search about this issue, please bring all the books to me tomorrow, the school will be open in two days, I want to read them, by the way, we will write down a version of that secret book and give the original book to Suran. He will hand it to my father," Taeyan was completely calm now, he seemed to found some hope gleam.

"Yes, now that's a good idea, I'm sure there are plans for filthy goals, not prophecy anyways, if that day Daria didn't hit the crow's skeleton we never noticed that is a lever".

He was right, the book was about the filthy plans, not predictions. They were playing a game with the words they used the title only for scaring people.

People who were disappointed had no hope to change their destiny, never fight for it, and will be surrender to fear failures, and becoming slaves of devils, while each person could have to affect and changing the world, a disappointed person never have attention on a thing which is going on in the shadows. They believe in all officials do, so many of them fall into sadness, living without hope, and not able to keep going their way. A pure absurdity. They will finish their life and not giving themselves a chance, they accept suicide, this is the big mistake that they ever did in their life. A pure weakness and an immortal regret like felling to a planet with no beauty just a burning son heating on their faces the ground melting them and there is no water for their thirst.

The myth used to say Higo was the only one who had a meeting with his master Abalis. He is still alive, but hidden in a corner and serving his master, he is the commander of dark monsters and the tamer of soul devour.
