You, the apocalypse and me! [YiZhan FF] Fantasy

Chapter 27 - Yibo's Ancestor

A/N: A little messy it seems to me, but here it continues. I hope you still understand the story behind all this with the kings and their souls. I have to be careful not to get confused myself.

"The war between the Amores and the Demoids, which has not ended to this day, began when King Anfar was killed by his own brother and wife. The Amores wanted to take revenge on the Demoids for the murder of their king. And, of course, revenge on Anfar's brother, who had run away with Anfar's wife. Anyway, more important is Zhan. I thought at first Zhan had the blood of a queen in him, but I was wrong and now I know he comes from the direct bloodline of Anfar." Puria began her explanation.

"Okay, but what does that have to do with me? And I think every piece of information is important. So tell me everything you know." Yibo urged her.

"Well, unless I'm mistaken, and I don't think I am, you're descended from the Demoids."

"I'm sorry, what? What the hell are the Demoids and how would I be descended from them?"

"Amores and Demoids are actually one folk. They were, anyway. The only differences that are noticeable are that the Amores have white hair and live in the forests and the Demoids have black hair and prefer to live in the caves. They are called Demoids only because of their hair color and warlike nature. However, they were once one people and visited humans together and also fathered children with humans."

"Okay, I see. So just like Zhan, I could be a descendant of them."

"Yes."

"So what else? What else do you know?"

"Okay, I'll just tell you the story. King Anfar of the Amores and King Fanuk of the Demoids were once very good friends. More than that. The two shared a passionate affair for many years. King Fanuk loved Anfar more than anything, just as Anfar loved him. They also had sex with other men and women, of course, even often together."

"Wait a minute, so they had sex together with some other man or woman?"

"Yes. But that's perfectly normal among this people. And in itself, same-sex relationships and marriages are not a big deal among them. You love who you love and the gender doesn't matter. But a king has to abide by rules and laws and the elders have decreed that King Anfar must marry a woman. At first Anfar refused, but the elders did not give in and finally he had to give in. Don't ask me how they got him to do it, that's a well-kept secret of the elders. Well, anyway, Anfar had to tell his great love Fanuk that he was getting married and that it wouldn't be Fanuk, but his sister Fanika."

"Ouch. That must have hurt."

"Yes. But Fanika already loved Anfar's brother and wanted to marry him, but she was denied. So she and Anfar's brother plotted a murder, which they then carried out on Fanika and Anfar's wedding night. When King Fanuk learned that his beloved Anfar had been murdered and by whom, he fell into a deep grief. Fanuk, who himself, like Anfar, was loved and revered by his people, could not get over his grief and could not live without Fanuk. He killed himself with the spear that pierced the heart of his beloved Anfar."

"My spear?"

"Yes."

"This is a cruel love story."

"Yes. Fanuk stepped out of his palace in the caves, went to the tomb of Anfar, and jammed the spear into his own chest. He plunged it into his heart and died weeping on the tomb of Anfar. Rumor says that before that he called out loudly the name of his beloved several times. And although it was actually forbidden, they buried Fanuk next to Anfar so that they could at least be united forever in the realm of light. The spears of the two were given to the new young king, who passed them on to the next generation. And this young king, heeding the calls of his people for vengeance, began the war against the Demoids that continues to this day."
