Bang chan's pov

"Hyunjin? What are you doing here?" I asked as I saw my husband standing and talking with a doctor, and he looked at me, and he smiled

He walked to me, and he sat down on the bed

"Hyunjin..?" I asked him and he grabbed my hand

"I'm here, love" he softly said

"What are you doing here?" I asked him

"I wanted to be with you remember our vows" he smiled and I tried to pull my hand of his grip

"Please let me go, I don't want to make you sick or the baby" I said

"I will be there with you, always" he said, and he put his hand on his clothed stomach

I smiled

"Hyunjin" I said with a weak voice, and my eyes slowly closed

"Your grace!"

Hyunjin's pov

I collected almost all of the ingredients, but I only needed one and luckily knew where to find the forest of the nymphs

The last ingredient was called the water of the nymphs or called the water of life. My mother didn't write right

Syrinx slowly landed down on the ground, and she lowered down so I could get off her back

"I will be back soon" I said, and I petted her neck, and I walked into the forest, and luckily, I still knew the way

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh" I suddenly heard someone singing from afar so I walked to it, and then I arrived at the same lake, and I saw a nymph sitting on a rock

"Within the stars, those spheres of ligh" The nymph was singing really beautifully, and I saw more nymphs coming from the waters, the ones I met before, Calliope

"But who can find the second to the right? (To the right)" 

"So far, my Neverland"

"It's the quest and the curse of us all"

They stopped singing when they spot me

Calliope and Aurora recognised, and they happily waved at me, and I smiled

"Heyyy Hyunjin!" Aurora said as they were swimming to the shore and they smiled

Aurora is always very bright while Calliope is more modest but still very kind

"What are you doing here?" Calliope asked me

"Where is Chan, you know the crown prince?" Aurora asked as she saws down on the shore

"Well the prince eventually King Chan and I became his consort" I said and they both smiled

"And I need your help, please" I asked them and they looked at me

"There is a mysterious sickness all of over Empiria and it also came to Asteria and most of our citizens are dying because of this bloody sickness

But I found out there is a cure called the cure of  Lacuna sickness. " I said, and they looked at each

"For cure, I need an ingredient."

"What kind of ingredient?" Calliope asked

"Water of life" I said, and they looked at each other

"You know what that is?" I asked them and they nodded and the pointed at the lake

"We, the nymphs used to protect this long time ago from evil men because our waters has magical, healing powers that could use for cure, potions, medicine and many evil men tried to steal our waters

Since the king made a law, we didn't have much trouble but still some people tried to steal it. Few days ago three men tried to steal it

Our leader, Syrena fought against them and she defeated them but with a great loss, Syrena died because of the overwhelming power" Calliope said

"I'm so sorry for your loss" I said and they smiled

Aurora suddenly got a small potion bottle and it was glowing

"The is last remaining water of life and I want to give it you" Aurora said and she grabbed my hand and she put in my hand and closed my hand

"But-"

"Please save take it and make the cure" She said and they looked at me and I saw them getting weaker

"Congratulations, your grace" Calliope suddenly said with a weak smile

"What?" I asked her

"Your child will be wonderful. Calliope smiled , nd they suddenly started to fade away, they are dying

"Please no, don't go!" I panicked

"It was our duty your grace" Aurora smiled

"What duty? Don't go!"

"It's a-" they suddenly faded away

The last remaining fresh water nymphs are gone , Aurora, Calliope and Syrena

"May the Goddess guides you" I whispered and I walked away from the lake, back to Syrinx
