Monochrome: Waking Dawn

Chapter 20 : Till Death Do Us Part

                   As the girl appeared right in front of them, Hyza froze of shock and so did Elane. She took form and appeared with a smile.

                   “I’ve been watching over you since then.” The girl said.

                   As she took form, fate led Hyza and Elane to their dream – the seeing of their third sister, Yviene Quasee.

                   “You know, this has been my wish since the day I knew I had two beloved sisters. I just wanted to see you both.” She said.

                   Hyza, for the first time in her life, went to tears as she went closer to Yviene. She pledged to herself to never cry in front of people because she believed that she had to be the strongest as the eldest. But, she never thought that a scene like this could bring her to her knees. As she bent down to hug Yviene, she said to her:

                   “Day and night… I would pray that someday, I would see what you really looked like. I always imagined on what I would do if I would see you. But now, now that we’re finally together, let’s go home …” said Hyza.

                   Elane also went nearer Yviene and said her words.

                   “You’re as beautiful as our mother. I always imagined you like this. But, the first thing you said… that you were watching over us until then… what do you mean by that?”

                   “When I was saved by Angesophia the time I was abducted, she told me everything I wanted to know. She had me read the book she is giving you now- Ubi Est Omnium (Where It All Started). Well, I know everything now. You have to read it to obtain knowledge as well. After I read the book, Angesophia asked me if I had a wish. I told her that my wish is: to be locked in a cave of ice and be locked up there forever with the spell of molibus glacialibus de cælo. I don’t want the third Queen to find me and use me. I’d rather have this then got anyone hurt. She wants revenge and she controls every single magic spell there is. Oh, now, that I’ve seen you both… I would want to rest. Can you… give that to me? I can’t take seeing people get hurt on Earth. It breaks my heart. Wars all over, bloodshed and… greed. It kills me. So, for now… can I say good bye to both of you? Take care of mom alright?” said Yviene.

                   Hyza couldn’t help but to bow down her head in despair. Elane looked away for she knew that she won’t be able to see Yviene ever again.

                   “Yviene… can you… give us a memento of you? Because… I know eve if we die and live in Spherea… you won’t be with us anymore…” in tears, asked Hyza.

                   Yviene took our something from her coat and gave it Hyza. It was her diary with a title of: “My Story”. She gave it to her.

                   “Here, Take it. It’s yours. Remember me through that. By the way… do you know the real reason why mom had you both abroad and never get to send you back?” She said.

                   “She told us that the reason was because of the lack of financial support to bring us back home and also for our future.” replied Elane.

                   “No. the reason is she never wanted to let both of you see her torturing me. She was free to do whatever she wanted- that’s the reason.”

                   “But why?”

                   “Read the book Angesophia gave you and you will know. But for now, I have to bid my farewell. Angesophia… do it.”
