The Masquerade Trio 2: The Elemental Bearers

Part 40: Lux's Encouragement

"What's bothering you, my dear mentor?" Lux asked. Elsa relaxed herself and faced Lux. "Anna..." Elsa paused. "was my sister." she added. "What? I thought your sister died many years ago! How did this happened?" Lux asked. "The truth is, I put my sister into what we call cryosleep while she's still dying." Elsa answered.

"The people did thought that my sister died in a good old age, but I kept her hidden in the forest that only a few of us knew where it was. Every year, I kept visiting her and to my surprise, she was getting younger everytime I visited her until she was at her the same 20 year old self. I kept visiting her until my day of exile came."

"I promised her that I always visited her and free her after I settle things for good. But I was way too late for it. Then, came the day where I have to chose of being a hero or stuck myself in the past. Every step I made for being a hero is a step away from my sister. Until I have completely forgotten my promise to her."

"Now, I'm afraid that her soul was haunted me. Now, I have to fight my own sister for my life. I don't know what to do." Elsa ended her story. Lux, felt sad after hearing this, for she too, was forced to slay her fallen brother in order to have her brother's soul at peace. For her brother was died at the hands of Jhin and was now used by Noxus as Lux's hindrance.

Then suddenly, Lux placed her hand on Elsa's shoulder, and Elsa turned back to see that Lux was also crying. "Elsa, hearing those words made me remember what I did to my brother. But what kept myself to carry the burden was my determination. Despite of my ties to him, he's no longer alive, nor my brother when I faced him. You're lucky that your sister is." Lux said.

"If it is true that your sister isn't evil, there might be a reason why. You have to be strong, Elsa. For I know that your sister can still be saved but if you keep blaming yourself for what happened, how can you focus on saving her?" Lux added. Elsa then opens her eyes after hearing what her student had said.

"Remember, Elsa. You are not alone in this, because I have it too and as a fellow Elementalist, I will do what I can to help you." Lux finally finished her words. Elsa then hugged her and started crying. "Thank you, Lux. Now, I'm confident to face the odds against myself." she said wiping her tears. "I have to be strong, not just for me and the others, but for myself as well." Elsa said. Changing into her Light Form, Elsa stood bravely and prepares herself. It was not her fight now, but for the others that are willing to help her. "Anna, for now, I considered you as an enemy. Until I have found a solution, then our fated battle will begin." Elsa said.
