~• The Awakening Of Jutso Kingdom •~

( Riddle )

I feel like the whole room was watching me everytime I make a move. I can hear my heart beat racing as I look at Lady Hakari.

Whatever the challenge I'll  be facing, whatever danger. I will face it with all my might.

Lady Hakari look at me with a smirk on her face.

And I didn't show any sign of fear at all.

"So Nami, the famous legend who will save the realm of humans"

She said mockingly.

I didn't know I'm that famous in the shadow world. Like all of the shadow we encountered are saying that I am the legendary saviour.

It's not that I'm getting a big head of it, I'm just overwhelmed and scared at the same time.

"Let the world see how you failed them"

"I ain't dying today"

I said seriously.

"Is that so?"

She said while smiling. Whatever she had in mind, whatever the outcome. I need to keep in my mind that the faith of thousand souls in is my hand.

I close my eyes and focus. Lady Hakari said it was a riddle, and I am not falling for that.

I look around, maybe there is a trap that may lead to my misfortune.

"N-nami, don't d-do it"

My eyes landed at Usuin, he was trying to get up. My heart ache as I watched him cough blood. I didn't even know they got beaten up when I was unconscious.

I was about to say something when Lady Hakari's voice echo the whole place.

"It comes and then gone, more brighter than any evening light. Looks down upon its child, when it shines all will unripe. The beginning of all, where everything is dull."

She said seriously then later on a knowing smile appears on her lips.

The words keeps running in my head as I think of the right answer.

"I only want one answer, answer it wrong then they'll die"

She said and 3 large thorns grew besides the chairs of where Usuin, King Goro and Isfail where and it was moving slowly towards their throat.

"What are you doing! You said I am the only one who will die!"

I screamed at her while she laughed.

"Do you really think I'll do that?"

"You monster!"

I screamed again, the expression of her face change as those words came out from my mouth.

"Answer or die"

She deadly said to me and in a split of second I heard Lily's shout. I look at her and saw that she was being choked by a vines.

I recall the riddle again and close my eyes as I gritted my teeth.

Come on Nami, think!!

What comes and disappear?

What's brighter than a light?

A sun? No!

What looks down and when  it appears  all  will unripe?

What  does she mean by unripe?

All of the words keeps spinning  in head and I feel like I'm gonna passed out any sooner.

Someone screamed and it was Isfail, the thorn hit his skin and it bleeds a little.

I am panicking, I don't know what to do. I don't know what is the answer.

"Time's ticking"

Lady Hakari remarks and a the ground I was standing stared to move. Then vines started growing, it tangled my feet.

I keep moving but it won't budge.

"L-listen Nami, you can do it. The a-answer is already in your h-head"

I look at Lily, and she was pale.

"I-i dont know"

My eyes are getting watery, I am wrong. I am not going to save my people. I'm going to die today.

"Think N-nami, brighter than evening l-light. What's been l-looking all over us, what appears and everyone  will d-die?"

"Shut up!"

Lady Hakari screamed and she closes her hand. The vines  in Lily's neck choked her even more.

No

I recall what Lily said, I  calmed myself  and focused.

Evening light...

Unripe...Die?!

When  it appears...

The beginning of all...

My eyes widen as I got what was the  answer. And so as what I thought.

"The beginning of all, that made everything dull. Dark and empty, dangerous and madness. It begins to shine as the time appears. And all of you thought that it was the main source why you're all here"

Lady Hakari's eyebrow meet together to what I just said.

"I know what you're thinking, and it is not the right answer"

She said standing up, I can feel she was nervous and starting to get mad.

And I knew exactly what's in her mind.

"You're right, it is not the answer"

I said smiling.

"Spill the answer or all of you will die"
