"Where have you been every afternoon my daughter? Many soldiers say you aren't in your room during the daytime? " King Thom Philip Aphiliep exclaimed to his daughter, Princess Edelweis Aphiliep.
"I'm just hiding somewhere Dad." Princess Edelweis bowed before the angry King Philip at the time.
"What if you don't survive being exposed to sunlight? You can be free in this palace. If you don't survive, who will replace Dad later? I have no more children besides you, Edelweis! " King Philip snapped slightly at Edelweis. Edelweis remained downcast.
"I believe that place is very safe. And I will not be exposed to the sun there. "
"Of course it won't because it hasn't happened yet. And how dare you leave without permission to your father! "
"Of course Father won't allow it!" Now Edelweis snapped a little, King Philippun had reached the peak of his anger.
"I'm sorry my daughter, but this is for your own good. Soldier! Lock him in his room for 7 days. And the key to the meeting so he can't get out. "
"Yes sir." The instant the soldier dragged Edelweis, he struggled to ask for his father's release.
"Father, I'm sorry! Don't lock me up! Arghh let go! Father!" But the groans were not heard at all by King Philip. He instead sat resignedly seeing his son's behavior that was truly beyond his expectations. Princess Edelweis resigned to being dragged into her room. Although his little heart said, "This week, I can't go to earth."
Aphiliep Fire Cell. The most painful cell in existence. This cell, the place where the law breakers are punished in Dark Fire. There is no one who can live more than 10 years there. Sometimes, it's only been a year to die in that cage. Creatures like me do have strong lives in the dark. If in a glowing place, even a little, our skin is scorched. That's the risk of being a creature like us. Life wherever the place is dark. Yes except for the full moon only. Then we are free. Indeed, it is not satisfied for us. But, there is one ancestor of our ancestral friends, who has cursed our nation. And he is, HUMAN nation.
