Someone's POV

The yellow-glowing gem was protected by the portal guards, the portal guard's kingdom was at very high risk because they were the ones who kept the yellow-glowing gem. Many people from other nations tried stealing it, but they did not succeed.

The yellow-glowing gem carried the power to make someone stronger, more powerful, and unstoppable.

It was from Elona, the woman they think is a witch because she is so beautiful and powerful, and it's not even in the European area, but people believe in the myth that witches exist.

Elona was from the Portal Guard Nation, and she was born to a mother from the outside nation and a father who was from the Portal Guard Nation.

When Elona's father was in the forest area, she met a strangely-like witch woman (Elona's mother) who lived by the forest, she was so beautiful, and her skin so glass-like and so white.

Elona's father goes every day to that place where the woman lives, not until the woman sees him and feels so much fright as if she is afraid of humans.

"Who are you?" said the woman from a distance afar from him

"I am a prince," he said, even though he isn't a prince.

The woman summoned a spell, a blasting spell, and he was hit.

He fainted, and when he woke up, he saw himself inside the woman's house.

The woman stared at him as if she had never seen an actual man.

"Are you a prince?" She said.

"Yes, from the uhmm... The Portal Guards" He said with a doubt in his voice.

He was too stunned to speak because it was breathtaking to stare at her when she was so beautiful, and he fell in love with her.

"I don't trust you, especially if you're a man, and-"

"You don't have to trust me, but I trust you"

"That was a lie every man said to me, for I am not a fool"

"So, I'm not the only man who got here?"

"Yes, and they all betrayed my trust, but I all killed them before they tried to kill me"

"I will never try to kill a woman"

She had a doubt in a man's eyes, but she still made him stay and even gave him a drink.

"I am Forbejen," the man said to her.

"I am Grace," the woman said.

"Grace.. What a name so pretty" forbejen said.

Grace suddenly has a little trust in Forbejen cuz he seems so nice and a soft-spoken man, but there's still a doubt inside Grace because she still doesn't know Forbejen's real intention for her.

**--**

As the days go by, they both slowly fall in love with each other, and Grace trusts Forbejen, as he is the first man she trusts. But Grace never really speaks about her past, and Forbejen never asks about it, as if they were making memories like they were born with no past.

Forbejen abandoned his kingdom and lived with Grace, and Grace forgot that Forbejen had a nation. Forbejen keeps asking Grace about her nation, but Grace doesn't say a word about it and says she already abandoned her past to live with him. Forbejen's curiosity was so full, but he tried to understand Grace and supported her to fully make a new life with him.

**--**

A year later, Grace was pregnant, and gave birth to a girl, just like her, the girl's beauty is insane.

They name her, Elona.

Elona grew up isolated away from people, and she knew only her mother and father.

Elona grew up with such power, just like her mother.

Grace abandoned her magic and decided to live a life normal, but in case she had to use it, she would, to protect her family from any danger.

When Elona turned 18, she always wanted to get out and see the world, but her mother always said that the world was so big and full of danger, so she had to stay to be safe. But that didn't stop Elona from wondering if other people just looked like her, or if there was any human living near them, or if there was someone out there at all.

Elona wanted to escape and see the world even in just a glimpse of it, she even made a song about seeing a world full of people.

When Elona asks her mother to see the world again, Her mother becomes furious.

"I told you elona, you're not leaving this area, the world is full of danger, and you don't know it cuz you did not experience it, but I did experience it, I am trying to protect you," Grace said.

"But mother, I'm 18, I need to know what's out there"

"YOU'RE NOT LEAVING US!"

"I am not leaving you guys, I just wanna see the world"

"NONSENSE!"

The mother accidentally cast a spell of wrath that made their whole place dark in the daytime, she promised to never use magic, but due to anger, she cast one spell.

"Mother?" Elona said.

"You're staying here, with your father," Grace said.

Elona walked out of her mother's sight and started crying under a willow tree.

After a minute someone was whispering to her "Go out and see the world"

Elona said, "Who's in there?"

suddenly, a strange man popped out of nowhere, and it was very strange looking, with horns and cat eye, she was covered with a scarlet coat and high heels for men.

"You wanna see the world? Go and see the world"

"I'm afraid, my mother-"

"No, don't think about your mother, you're old enough to handle yourself"

"but im-"

"shush, I will handle everything to make sure your mother never notices a thing"

The strange-looking man suddenly turned into a clone of Elona.

"You're a shapeshifter," Elona said.

"No, for a while, I will pretend I am you and go there with your mother, and you. You go out there and see the world dear"

Elona was so happy about it, she was a fool to trust the strange-looking man that easily, never knowing that it was a demon-blooded one.

Elona runs away from their house and goes out to see the world, while the strange-looking man goes over to their house with Elona's body.

Elona was happily running away without worrying about her mother, all she thought about was looking for what was new out there.

It was a forest she was running and due to her mother's wrath spell, it was covered with darkness in the daytime.

After a while running, she got out of the forest, and the wrath spell ended there as she crossed the bridge.

Not so far enough, she sees a castle, and Elona wants to go there (It was the Portal Guards Nation). But there were so many guards guarding the main gate of the wall, and not from afar, she saw a hole entrance inside on the left, it was tiny but Elona's body could fit there. (Who made the hole? And why does no one repair it?)

Elona goes in that hole while avoiding the guard's attention, her way is filled with tall grass, so it's easy for her to hide from the guard.

She successfully got to the hole in the left and entered the hole that her body could fit.
