ARAGU

Trial

Kira opened her eyes, despite the pain she felt on her back. She felt the coldness of the air in the room she's in.

She saw the dark ceiling, she felt the cold floor. She realized she was in a metal cell.

Kira got up and ran to the metal bars but she was stopped because of the chain on her ankles and her wrists.

"Sayaka! Pete?! Rem!" Kira yelled the name of her friends.

"I'm here." Kira heard Sayaka's voice, it was hoarse. "Where are you?"

Kira didn't see any figure. "I'm in the cell next to yours." Sayaka answered.

"Where's Pete and Rem?" Sayaka can hear the concern in her voice.

"I don't know. They were separated from us. I didn't even do anything to save them or you." Sayaka was sad, Kira can feel it.

"No, it's my fault. We didn't even reached the King's chambers." Kira laughed dryly.

"But we reached Princess Amane's room. I'm pretty sure she's having a doubt right now why we infiltrate the palace." Sayaka said, she was confident about it.

Kira thought about the Princess. "I hope so." Kira said.

"Say, tell me the truth. You were stunned when you see the Princess right?" If only Kira can see Sayaka right now, she maybe give her a smack on the head.

"Fine. I was." Kira and Sayaka laughed even if they can smell the scent of death coming their way.

"So that woman is among the Elementals in the Prophecy?" General Ador asked, the thought of it kills him.

"Yes. So set her free." Aera said, looking intently at the old General.

General Ador gave her a death glare. Aera wasn't scared, she proudly faced the General.

"Stop it Aera. King George has the final decision. The General couldn't do anything about it." Lexus said.

"Where's Frea?" Xaeron suddenly asked. She was sitted on a single chair outside the throne room.

"She's talking to King George and Princess Amane right now." Lexus said, looking at Xaeron.

Xaeron sighed, she stood up and went to the door of the throne room.

"Where do you think your going?" General Ador asked and block her way.

Xaeron looked at him boringly and bump into him. No matter how big the size of the General, he still moved inches away from Xaeron.

Xaeron opened the big doors with both her hands like it wasn't heavy.

"Who is that woman?" General Ador asked.

"You will soon find out." Aera said smugly and followed her Master. Lexus shook his head and sighed, then follow the two.

Princess Frea wasn't surprised of the ruckus that Xaeron made.

King George looked at the disrespectful woman. But his face soften when he saw it was Xaeron.

"Xaeron, shouldn't you be waiting outside?" Princess Amane asked.

"Amane, you know how I act. Don't be too surprised." Xaeron rolled her eyes on the Princess of GeoRock.

Amane just sighed.

"I want to see her." Xaeron demanded. The King saw the seriousness on Xaeron's face.

"Alright." Xaeron nod slightly and walked out of the room.

"Why is Xaeron acting that way?" Princess Frea asked. She was wondering how Xaeron was comfortably acting rude to the royals in GeoRock.
