Chapter 3: "Escape from Misery"
-SEALED GROUNDS-
LOGI'S POV
"It's been a long time Zola." I said to of Zola's tomb. I hate to go here. This is the very place where Zola vanished right in front of my eyes. This is the place where I lost her, the woman whom I love.
"Is that all you can say brother?" Leo asked while arranging the flowers that he picked a while ago.
Few moments later a soldier came to us and said.
"Your Majesty, the king of Elyom wants to discuss something with you. He said it's about the rebels. " I was about to go with the soldier but Leo stopped me.
"I'll talk to him. You just stay here and tell Zola everything you want to tell to her. " he winked his eye then dragged the soldier. Am I too obvious? Or he's too smart to notice that I acted a bit awkward because of his presence. I suddenly noticed the flower, Blue roses.
"Zola, how I wish you're here to see these flowers. They're very beautiful, just like you." I took my time reminiscing our past. We were both young when we first saw each other.
I could describe her as a pretty little girl with long silver hair and dazzling blue eyes. She already got my attention since then. Her father was one of Nene's researchers and Leo happens to be his apprentice. Zola wanted to be a soldier so we went to the same training sessions. Though she was a little girl, her skills were outstanding. We became good friends and my feeling for her started to bloom. But a tragic event happened. Nene and his team of researchers went out to study about the sacred ruins. Unfortunately an accident occurred during their expedition. The known living survivors were Nene, Deathroy and Leo. The news almost broke my heart. In order to move on I kept myself busy. After several years Nene promoted me as general. Unexpectedly the girl whom I thought that was already dead years ago returned. But she was a totally different person. The charming little girl was replaced by a cold young woman. Her dazzling eyes were iced cold and her sweet little smile that I loved the most was completely gone. Indeed, my sweet little Zola disappeared. Inspite of her change, my feeling for her remained the same. I did everything to regain our friendship but she rejected me so many times. She betrayed Nene, became my mortal enemy and the rest was history.
I can categorize our story as a tragedy. I kneeled down and bowed my head. Tears started to rush from my eyes. It's hard to stand in front of your love one's tomb.
"Zola, I don't care if you rejected me so many times, I don't care if you freed the darkness and became my enemy and I don't care if you're already dead. In my heart the memories that we shared together will live forever and I promise that I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!" I whispered while weeping.
Suddenly I noticed a missile that was about to land directly in front of me. I quickly jumped before it could reach the ground then exploded. The blue roses were blown away.
"Well hello your highness! What a pleasant surprise to see you here all alone!" Captain Crester said. He is one of the late Grand Kingdom's loyal soldiers who refused to be under my authority. They build a rebel s to fight against my kingdom. I drew my sword , I was ready to fight but I heard someone shouted.
"What's going on brother?" it was Leo! Our soldiers began to march toward my direction.
"So you brought your crown princey huh? This is wonderful! It's like hitting two birds with one stone!" Crester laughed. He pointed to Leo's direction then ordered.
"FINISH THEM!" the robots started firing Leo.
"LEO RUN!" I shouted then prepared to attack.
-INSIDE THE SEALED GROUNDS-
ZOLA'S POV
My heart almost jumped for joy when I heard Logi stating such words! But because that explosion my joy was replaced by worries. Who did that? Where did it came from? My worries grew when I heard Logi shouted something. The tone of his voice alarmed me. Is he alright? Damn I wanted to know what is happening outside! I hear swords slashing and guns blowing. I heard him again. This time he groaned because of pain! Tears burst from my eyes. Is he hurt? It can't be!
"Right now a friend of yours is about to die any moment. But you my princess can change his fate." The mysterious voice spoke.
"Me? What can I do? I'm worthless! I can't do anything!" I cried. I was running out of hope.
"Get out from there! You have the power to escape from your prison! You have the power to escape from your misery!" the voice shouted. I have the power? I can't believe it!
"Hurry! If don't move now I assure you that he will die!" it continued.
"NO! I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!" I shouted. Suddenly light started to shine unto my eyes….
-OUTSIDE-
LOGI'S POV
I fought back but my strength i s not enough to defeat them. I received many injuries from my enemies. I have no idea what happened to Leo and the others because I was trapped. They really planned about this. Crester raised his sword.
"Say goodbye you lowness!" he was about to stab it to my body .
"NO! I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!" someone shouted. After hearing it, an earthquake occurred. Then light begab to shine from the center of the sealed grounds. Sparkling dust circled around and started to form a human figure. It was ZOLA!
