Lies of History VOL. 2

CHAPTER 7 "MY SWEET HOMELAND"

Days have passed, and it was time to head back to the headquarters and report everything to the king and queen. Everyone else was packing up while I was writing down everything that was observed during the time we had here. I even listed down the battle we had with all of those untamed creatures in the forest.

Everyone informed me that we were all set to go. Eventually, we head off back to Katria. Along the way, we decided to take a break from work and discuss about different things. It was another comfort session and of course, it was nice. While we were enjoying this small yet sweet moment, AJ began to ask me about my life inside of the castle.

"So... princess, you never share your life inside of the palace of Samira. Do you sometimes feel pressured?" AJ asked. Larra immediately  disturbed AJ for asking that question.

"AJ! You can't just say that out of the blue! You're such an idiot!"

"Ouch! that actually hurts Larra! I was just curious, and the princess doesn't even have to answer the question!" He argued.

"Hey you two, calm down. I actually don't mind answering AJ's question." I replied, while the two stopped fighting.

"I usually don't feel pressured, but there are just some situations where my parents do pressure me  in order for me to develop well. I am the next heir to the throne and it's understandable when they get mad at me for doing somethings incorrectly. I might also feel down but its for my own sake." I said.

"Hey... whenever you do feel down in the dumps just talk to us, alright? Don't always depend on your parents if your a good heir or not, you should also depend on your self if you are worthy enough!" Hari said, to cheer me up.

"That right, even talking to Kalao would help you too. I mean you guys talk to each other everyday." AJ added.

"Thank you, all of you. I promise you all a bright future in Katria." I said.

We all laughed and continued our conversations, And I really owe them a good life in Katria when I become Queen. No, not just them, but everyone in the kingdom. As the future ruler of Katria, I already know what my plans are for this land.

At midst of the laughter and joy, we are still on our way to Katria. We took a few stops and continued until we were close to the kingdom. But when we were travelling, the sky was a light grey even if it was summer season.

Diamond said that it might be a sudden change of weather but it doesn't feel right. Since it took a few days for us to get back to Katria, but during those days the sky was still grey and there was not even a single raindrop in sight.
Nobody heard any lightning or any activity of rain storms or drizzles. The sky remained dark for an unknown reason. Everyone else told me to write it down just in case that this small detail might come in handy with the current situation. As we were getting closer to the kingdom, we felt a sudden shift in the atmosphere. There was more magical aura than before and it was just the same event that happened in the forest.

"Hey.. guys.. whats going on..?" Hari mumbled in fear.

"What do you mean Hari?" Diamond asked.

"Why am I feeling weak..?"

"Oh dear... Larra! Hari needs assistance!" Diamond called.

"I'm also getting a bit weaker.." AJ claimed.

Everybody started to get effected by the amount of aura present in the area, which is very alarming. Only the creatures with high sensitivity of magical aura can only be effected by the magical aura in the area. Which means that this place is a Kindynos zone... Katria... Became a Kindynos zone? How could this be possible? This must be another illegal witch craft, surely that this part of Katria is like this.

"Guys... Look! Katria... is in Chaos!" Kalao cried.

"Oh my! What is going on!? Quickly lets go faster!" Yelled Diamond.

"Oh dear, oh dear.. what happening princess!?" Hari screamed.

"I...- I have to go to the palace! I must to summon guardian Silē!" I replied.

"Guardian of the light Crystal, Silē please hear my call!" I chanted.

"What is it? Your highness." Silē replied.

"Please take me to the palace of Samira! The whole kingdom is in danger." I cried out loud.

"..As you wish.."

"Everyone, please find the other knights and evacuate everyone out of the kingdom and head for the kingdom Valentina!" I ordered.

They nodded and I made it to the entrance of the palace. I ran as fast as i could to reach the castle doors. As I travelled I noticed some familiar crystals coming out of the ground. They were not only around the castle but they covered almost the whole kingdom.

I finally made it inside if the palace and went to find my parents and Kakari. But the aura was trying to stop me from going any further instead of the castle walls, but I knew I had to move forward. I kept searching and searching for my family, until I made it to the throne room.

I met the smell of decomposing bodies and blood around the room. I also made eye contact with the eyes of my new enemy and the lifeless eyes of my beloved parents. Their heads were separated from their bodies, and they were held like a trophy, in the hands of 'prince' Henry Kalph.
When me and Henry's eyes met, he turned to me with a smirk. It looked like he won a game or finally took something that was important to him, and to me. He looked different, way too different.

"Ah, well if it is princess Viliua Samira of Katria! What a pleasant day it is! I see that you and your petty friends arrived a bit to late." He said with that bitter sweet tone.

My eyes still couldn't believe what I've just saw. My own friend murdered my parents, and I don't even know if Kakari is alive. And for Samira's sake, who knows if he also slaughtered almost half of the kingdom.  The silence in that room was just too sudden to bear. Seeing everything that you own in the future, is burning in your very own eyes.

"Henry.. What's going on..? What did you do to my own parents!? Do you even realize what you put your self into!?" I cried out loud with tears rolling down my face.

"Don't act so innocent, Samira. Of course, I took your parents out of their misery. I am also fully aware what situation I am in." He replied.

"What do you mean..? We were in good terms, Henry! Why would you do this to Katria? Answer me!"

"Ha.. Hahahaha! 'Good terms'? Do you really think I would do this for entertainment? You did the same thing to my beloved Raque. And my parents, they were also killed by your own hands alone." He explained.

"What....? Henry, I never killed your parents. Nor stepping in the kingdom of Raque! My fellow knights were in your kingdom months ago!" I replied with confusion.

"You do have a talent for acting Samira, but you can cut it out. Your army, people and family mercifully slaughtered my land. You took everything away from me, you Samiras drove me into sanity! But, at least i found this small trinket." Said Henry when he pulled out a familiar object with his bloody hands.

"Isn't that... the missing crystal!? The moon crystal... how did you...?"

"Viliua, we were good friends. But I should avenge my kingdom. I should just kill you-!"

When Henry was about to activate the crystal, Kakari came out of nowhere and used her powers to restrain him from using it. It was great that Kakari was alright, but she had a lot of injuries all over her body. Kalao also arrived at the scene and saw everything.

"Tch, princess Kakari. I thought I ended you, and it looks like Kalao also made it to the party." Henry said mockingly.

"This ends now Henry! Drop the crystal or this will not end well!" Kakari yelled while she pulled out her bow and arrow.

"How sad... well, not really. I'm sorry but... I'm afraid that this will not end well.... For all of you."

Before our own eyes Henry already activated the crystal before Kakari bursted into the room. I heard the screams and cries of the moon guardian of Samira. The amount of aura in the room was suffocating and I was about to pass out. Henry finally infused him self with the moon guardian and that is when everything turned into a twisted fate.
