"There's something you need to know, dear princess. And you're not imagining it all"
"Aaahhhh !!!!!!!" I screamed because I realized that this bird was really talking!
"Calm down dear princess"
"Aaaaaahhhhh!"
"Dear princess! Don't make any noise here in the forest if you still love your life"
"Aaahhhmmpp!" I did not listen to what this bird was saying but suddenly something covered my mouth.
I struggled because I felt more scared.
Who is behind me !? Who covered my mouth !?
"Let him go Satiro"
When this creature released me I immediately walked away and faced him.
But I have yet to convince myself that there is a talking bird and now it is!
Is a person half tenderness!
I was stunned and my knees weakened so I fell to the ground.
Chapter 10
Zafira's Pov
I was dizzy because I felt like I was floating. It's not! The pain in my back!
I opened my eyes wide and the first thing I saw were the clouds. I'm not a fool to think I'm in heaven, because there's a cloud? Eh I feel like I'm moving, I'm lying on a --? Wait!?
"Aahh!" I cried because when I suddenly got up I almost fell on my bed, behind this big bird. Fortunately, he spread his wide wings so I didn't fall over.
He laid me on the ground and made me look around. We are no longer in the place we were before where I fainted. Is that true? The goat man?
"She's just there dear princess, following and watching us because she knows if she shows up you won't be able to do it again." Word of the bird.
"By the way, I'm Anka (Angka) dear princess, so it won't be hard for you to call me a big bird." He added.
I nodded and spoke.
"Anka, where are we going and why did you take me?"
He continued to step on his two big feet so I followed too. I felt better about him so I lost my fear. But I don't think I'm the only one who doesn't like the goat man.
"You're back, dear princess."
Huh? Yes I know.
"But on your return you will not be able to stop the war that is going on and will happen in the future." He added to what he said.
"What do you mean?"
"Since you disappeared, dear princess. That is why there was a war. People were still happy and did not know of such wars but because of so much mourning and resentment your father broke out of war. And at that time the Deeyos who keep the order and tranquility of this place suddenly disappeared like bubbles. So nothing could stop your father from his decisions. "
We continued walking and I did not say a word because I was still waiting for the continuation of what he would say.
"Many say that when the new one is born again you might also stop the year war going on in this area. But no. Because they were wrong in their assumption. Because your return will only deliver a hot collision between the two kingdoms. who both don't want to lose. "
I waited a few minutes for him to play something else but the surroundings became quiet and all I could hear were the chirping of cricket.
"Why did Deeyos revive me and even more so he used his strength just for my future life, if that's all that will happen? Why didn't they just let my soul stay in my slumber.?"
He remained silent and I no longer planned to wait for his answer. Because I knew he didn't want to answer that question anymore.
We continued to walk quietly but I could hear something around the rustling of leaves, fortunately and Anka told me it was just Satiro, the human goat.
I was still wondering if I would enter the cave in front of us.
Chapter 11
Zafira's Pov
As I stared at the cave in front of us which was very dark inside, Anka, (known as a giant bird) stepped into the cave.
"Wait? P-let's go in there !?" I asked in shock even though it was obvious that we would actually enter that.
"We have to go through here to get to where we're going faster, dear princess."
Maybe I'll still get used to him calling me "dear princess" because I'm more used to being called by my name now in my life.
"B-but ... how ... how ..."
"Sorry, but we need to go through this and I ask for your trust, dear princess. I will not harm a princess who was once loved by the two Deeyos"
What? Yes, my memory came back but I'm no longer used to living like this and me? Loved by Two Deeyos? Oh no!
"Anka, what --?"
Look at this. Is that how a princess is treated? Just as I was speaking he walked away and left me.
I looked around but was suddenly terrified so I ran after this big talking bird.
The size of the cave due to the size of this bird still pleased him.
As soon as we stepped into the dark cave, I was terrified. I never dreamed of entering the cave! We walked in but my hand searched for the big chicken thigh-this bird was because it was so dark and I could hardly see anything. I clung to him so we continued inside. But the little light we used from the entrance of this cave was slowly disappearing, so I looked behind us to see what was going on. I almost lost my breath as the ground slowly moved and closed.
"Anka! What's going on! We're going to be locked up here!"
"Just hold on to me, dear princess."
I clung so tightly to him and just closed my eyes until I could no longer see the light.
But I was suddenly dazzled by the light so I opened my eyes.
"Where are we?"
"Here we are, dear princess"
What makes it different from what we were walking before? We are still in the jungle, I thought we were in another dimension.
"The cave is considered to be the fastest way to a place here in the kingdom of Nemestia where you want to go."
Then we are still in the kingdom of Nemestia. The space really is.
"But that is only used by those like us living with human -minded animals and nobles who travel. If only the simple citizen would eat him out of the cave. You are a noble, dear princess, but the cave was hesitant earlier because he felt a drop of mortal blood mixed with your blood. I talked to him and said that you were re-created by a mortal to be born to you, so it is no wonder that your blood has a drop of mortal blood. "
"The cave ...? The cave has life !?"
"All the things here that you think are just a simple thing have a life of their own. They just talk to people like us" he explains.
I couldn't help but cringe at what he said. My hair is growing too. I looked around. Trees, birds flying freely. I bent down and looked at my foot stepping on the grass.
"I-then. Even ... the ... them?"
"Like I said before, dear princess. All things."
"Can you talk? What are they saying ??"
I heard her deep breath.
"Thank you and the princess of Taraya has returned, who is destined for our prince. And many admire your beauty, dear princess" Anka.
I would have asked more questions but did not proceed.
"Come out of your hiding place Satiro" said Anka.
I was grabbed by my chest because of his sudden appearance in front of us.
"Show me that." Anka orders Satiro.
He bowed to me first and using the legs of a goat he walked just a few meters away from us and he pulled something out, what is that?
"Two stones. Stone where the two Deeyos left before they disappeared like bubbles. With that someone left the two Deeyos words. That you need to hear." Anka explained to me while Satiro arranged the two small stones that were sticking together so that they could be separated properly.
"But why is the one golden and the iron on the left?"
"Because one has pure intentions." Satiro explained a little as he walked closer to us and we moved a little away from there because Anka said so.
Ahh I got it. If the blonde has pure intentions one means the opposite.
I was dazzled by the sudden light of the golden stone.
Chapter 12
The light of the gold stone was dazzling. But its extra light was diminished because we heard a voice from there.
"Dear princess, he is the one Deeyos that Satiro says has pure intentions. Dear Evo. And his brother Dimon is the owner of the iron colored stone."
Are the two Deeyos brothers they say?
We all fell silent.
"On the day of your return here Zafira, the woman I created who I never fully expected to get my attention, is no reason to stop the war going on in this world. I am no longer a Deeyos to still be high. my words, because at this time I want to say that, sorry dear princess.Because your return here is only temporary.You have been brought back here to temporarily stop the war, which happened before.Because that war is different from past wars.In previous wars the king of Nemestia never moved, because when that happened he could not be restrained from using the power I had given him.That power was only temporarily in his hand so he could not afford it control when it happens.This is only for prince Akiro, which can only be passed on to him when you become one.But that will not happen because of your father's hatred of the prince ipe and even the natural power of love cannot resist when your father opposes you prince. He was so angry that it was because of your loss and his queen mother. "
I just listened to everything he said. But there are questions forming in my mind. I just put that aside and focused on the light.
"You will have three days here Zafira, on the fourth day it will be the full moon. At night you will go out of your room so that the moonlight will shine on your body. That light will pull you back into the world. you are accustomed to, in the world of mortals. That journey you will have a mission. You will return there to do a mission and bring back here the woman who will tame your father. With my remaining strength and with the help of my brother again I raised your mother in the second life. "
A-what? My mother? In the world of people !?
I couldn't stop crying. If so my real mother is also in the world I am used to. But why don't we just meet there and get back here at once.
"You must finish your mission and be able to return here with your mother. You will have a few days there. And wait again for the arrival of the full moon that will take you back to this world."
Now I feel so much longing for a mother. Mother who is my real blood relative. The woman in my dream, which is why every time I wake up and remember that I feel weird. That was my longing for my mother, including my father.
I quickly wiped away my tears as I saw the male goat staring at me.
Next a stone shone, so Satiro turned there.
"I deeply regret what I have done. Zafira, or more properly called, dear princess. I want to apologize for the mistake I have made. Because of my utter selfishness I have been able to represent man to take the life of the man appointed to you by my sister. But I did not and an incident happened that I deeply regret. Because the arrow that should have been on the prince slipped and you went. Forgive me, dear princess. With all my strength and power and I gave only to recover you lost your life because of me. I lied to my brother. Because what I asked for in return I don't need anymore. "
The two stones return to their former form as just a common stone with their own color.
Satiro walks to retrieve the stone, but a quick arrow pierces it. The stone that I thought no one could break was broken by just an arrow. The stone was shattered and separated.
We were all surprised especially Satiro whose hand was close to reach the stone but could not continue because the arrow went through his face straight into the two stones.
"What's happening!" Anka.
Even Anka who I thought was always serious was also confused. Nor do they know what is going on.
"I got caught dating. Hay."
The three of us looked at the source of the arrow and the one who spoke. There was a man standing on a branch of a tree. Holding his bow and smiling.
If in our world it is, even demons have the habit as long as they are handsome they are willing to sacrifice their bodies. Same net. I could feel her strange aura, which I knew wasn't just a common one. Very different from the ones I meet. He can be said to be handsome, but with evil plans.
She wore a black long dress up to her feet that suited her.
Shaken looking at the rock he had broken, his gaze wandered to us and our eyes met. I hugged myself because of the depth of his gaze on me. He seemed to be digging into my soul. I felt even more horrified because of his grin.
"Oh. The princess of Taraya."
Chapter 13
Nemestia.
Narrator's pov.
The war stopped because Zafira's father was also shocked. Blame himself because he also did nothing. So he did not notice his servants and walked and turned then got on his horse sadly.
His servants just followed him and no one tried to speak anymore.
While Akiro is almost against the Father, because he was just watching as Zafira was carried away by the bird. That bird is what they call sacred beasts.
They don't know what that bird is planning for Zafira and especially they don't know what she can do with it.
They only knew one thing, it was a curse because it didn't come out just like that in its den.
Akiro did NOT KNOW how to talk to his Father, so he chose to enter the room where he had taken Zafira before.
As soon as he entered, he immediately smelled the childish and delicious natural smell of Zafira's nose. That's why he missed it even more.
During the hundreds of years that Zafira was gone he focused his miss on Zafira by performing his duties in the kingdom, whether externally or internally. So that's how his subjects look at him.
Whether poor or in a good life. But despite all that waiting he thought of going to the world of humans the second life of Zafira, he immediately found it and he almost wanted to pull it back to their world.
But he restrains himself.
In doing so there is a possibility that Zafira will no longer remember her first life, if she is forced to return to the world she came from before stepping on the eighth year.
So he just let it go first and again waited four years and let destiny just bring him back to the world for them.
As soon as Akiro entered the room he had reserved for Zafira, he looked around. This room has long been unused. Because it was really reserved for Zafira in case she came back.
But the prince felt sad because of his thoughts.
What if Zafira never comes back?
What if he goes with his Father? No! I can not do it!
He sat down on Zafira's bed and pulled himself up. He only moves erect and small movements when he is in front of other people. But now he looks like he's gone bankrupt.
He stopped tweaking himself and seemed to remember something so he stopped. He quickly stood up and grabbed his weapon and was ready to go out to look for Zafira. They haven't gone far yet. I am sure they are still in the land of Nemestia
He was close to the door. He stopped because someone opened the door and an angelic smile was standing there facing him. Zafira.
He was about to run to greet Zafira with a hug but he was stopped and simply walked as before when he was in front of other people, due to the appearance of a waitress behind Zafira.
"Dear princess, it is good and safe for you to return." The waitress was surprised because she saw the prince inside looking at her wickedly.
"Ah that bird didn't do anything bad to me" Zafira replied politely.
"Ahh s-okay. I'm leaving, dear princess"
Zafira just smiled at him and faced Akiro again after the waitress left.
She was startled and could hardly breathe because of the prince's tight hug.
"Ahhkk." He patted Akiro's shoulder because he could barely speak.
"Sorry." Akiro quickly released Zafira.
"Are you okay? Don't you have a scar? Where did that bird take you? What did it do to you?"
"Come on! C'mon relax! They didn't hurt me! Look? Still alive and pretty!" Zafira smiled.
Akiro was surprised when Zafira spoke to him in English. He understands because he always visits and goes to the world of mortals.
"Tsk. Mortals" Akiro said shakily.
"But you missed it?" Zafira smiled teasingly at him as he walked into the room.
"Ofcourse, yes." Akiro answered without hesitation.
Zafira was a little surprised but recovered immediately. And he poked the prince in the side. Zafira doesn't seem to be a prince anymore if she considers Akiro.
"Aayiiieee ... The dear prince said he missed me .."
"Tsk." He couldn't shout and stab Zafira and just gently avoided the princess's stings at him. If it were different maybe they wouldn't be able to do to him what the woman is doing to him.
"Oh sunget."
"I'm not"
"Am I beautiful?" Zafira asked without hesitation.
"Yes"
"Do you think I'm the most beautiful woman for you?"
"Yes, ofcourse" he answered without emotion. But he knew in himself that all his answers were true. He just keeps smiling.
"But you missed me?"
"I said ye--"
"But you love me?"
"yessss -- holy shit! What !?" Akiro said in shock.
From Zafira's smiling expression it became serious and sighed.
"Nothing." Zafira turned around and didn't pay attention to what they had talked about before, as if nothing like that had happened to them.
"I'm sorry" akiro.
Akiro noticed the change in Zafira's mood. Actually he wasn't surprised by his answer earlier, he was just surprised because he suddenly asked such a question.
There was no problem if Zafira asked that correctly, and she knew everything she would answer was true. He really loved Zafira, ever since.
Even though thousands of years have passed and as long as he lives he will only love Zafira.
He heard Zafira sigh. He approached here while turning around and would have hugged but because the door was open ...
"Dear prince -- m-dear prince!"
Instead of the princess being with the prince they knelt down. The princess did not feel annoyed, but the prince did not like what the servants did, because they ignored Zafira, his princess.
"You idiots! The princess is your purpose here but you just ignore her !?"
The servants were shocked as well as Zafira when Akiro suddenly shouted at his servants.
They all fell silent but Zafira almost hugged Akiro and the others were startled when suddenly someone sang. Zafira's ring tone.
That's his ring tone when he receives a call.
Huh?
Zafira was distracted because she remembered the cellphone she had brought here. He no longer knew where he had been placed.
