Chapter 7
Amaya opened her eyes to a darkening sky. How long had she been out, she couldn't tell, but it sure had been a long while.
There was a weird feeling in the air, permeating her surroundings. It was as if the forest, the wind, everything around her was holding its breath in anticipation.
And suddenly, she knew. Gaea was waiting for her, waiting for it's judge to come forth and watch it's battle for survival. And she would grant it it's dying wish, for the end was near.
Mabel stopped her horse. From this spot, she had a perfect view of the wide grasslands that extended for as far as she could see. To the east was Fanelia, Asturia was located to the west, the two Zaibachs were to the north and Freid to the south.
A slow smirk appeared on her face. Soon, very soon all of this would be hers, as would be all of Gaea. Hers and her beloved's. And no-one would stop her from getting what she wished for.
Lord Ardel snarled at his pathetic little spy. Doren had proved to be helpful more than once, he was a good fighter and a loyal servant, but this time he was being completely useless. Dilandu had him so terrified that it was a miracle there weren't any puddles on the floor.
That made Ardel smile. Yes, if Dilandu was anything, it was frightening. That was why he had brought him back. Ahh, he couldn't help but grief for the beautiful Celena, but having her alter ego under his command had it's advantages.
Soon, he would get his hands on the only person that could stop his plans, and once he killed the little bitch and he would be free to conquer this world and the next, the amazing moon that hanged on the sky. Yes, once Dilandu finished his part of the job, all his dreams would come true.
