Ch. 19 Right Time


I frozenly stood up and held the baluster of the balcony. My whisk broom that was now ready to fly with me. The moonlight kiss showing the reflection of the hidden emotions of the river. I closed my eyes tightly and entered the room. I glanced at the forest for a while. The air is peaceful and quiet, so is the calm flow of the river water. I made sure the window was closed. I put a barrier on it so that no one dares to enter my room. What happened earlier is still fresh in my mind. I couldn't quite imagine that I was a full-fledged witch. A beautiful princess, who has a whiskey blood, the cursed and the blessed child. How can I wake up my fairy soul, when I am now an official witch? Goddess Kunal has also left me and the three are resting peacefully in the closet. Matthias suddenly disappeared from my mind. I didn't feel the sudden pain of my heart anymore. I took off my robe and threw it on the bed. I slowly went to the library and there I saw some potions next to books, scrolls, and a lamp that gave light to that dark room. Why is it a lamp again? What's with the lamp, and it just keeps showing me. Is it because it carries the light or wick of my life? I had my powers now to protect myself. "Waylen Ryuu" I quietly whispered into the air, hoping that it would be brought to him and that he would hear. A few moments later I felt its smell, the presence that my system gradually recognized. "Can you sleep with me?" I promised him and I don't know why I suddenly hugged him. "Who am I to object to the wishes of my beloved?" he asked with a smile as he slowly took off his cloak and threw it somewhere. "Would you be my apprentice or.... would you be my forever?" I told him with a laugh as I dragged him to the bed. "Silly. Witches live a long time, and yeah, I will be forever yours, my pretty witch," he said and pulled me closer to me. His eyes glistened in the middle of the darkness under the light of the blazing lamp. I can feel his heart and mine collided. He gently kissed my forehead as he hugged me so tight. We were in the middle of hugging when we were both separated by a series of knocks from outside my room. I know we're both holding back laughter right now. "It's open!" I shouted and using magic I was the only one who opened it. It smoked and for a few moments it spat out Cassandra, Dandeliana, Xazhira and Sapphixa who were now both wearing red royal dresses. The lower part of their hair is loose, and the top is tied with a red ribbon. "What are you doing here?" I promised them with a smile. "You are visiting." "Matthias is watching you!" "We want to watch a live kissing! "You are visiting." They said together. I violently looked at Matthias who was now on my bed and sleeping peacefully. It's so fast to fall asleep. It's like he was by my side just now and now he's in my bed? I looked back at the four who were now pinching Cassandra and Sapphixa, Nina Dandeliana and Xazhira by the arm because both of them said something about me and Matthias. "That's enough. What do you really want with me? Aunties, give mesome time to rest. I'm tired of traveling too," I grabbed her hair and ruffled it. "Nope. I knew that you're tired. But we're here to tell you that, tomorrow at night. We will announce your arrival in the whole witch of this kingdom," Girvana said and the three happily smiled at him . "Promise. You will not be alone. Maybe we were not your real mother, but we can act as your mother. We can protect you against from the fairies," Sapphixa said without any hesitation in her voice. Nevertheless, they will do everything to protect me. What did I do in the past life to give this kind of beings in my life. Despite my past, the vivid silhouette that I can see. The alluring beauty of this world that I want to build again. But this time, stronger and stronger. However, I don't care if it's the silhouette of yesterday. I will do everything just to know the reason and how they killed my parents, how they destroyed this world. I only know one. They will pay for what they had done. Breed if necessary. I will return double or triple the pain they caused my parents. They will regret it. I will destroy the world of witches and power-hungry wolves. "Fala. We're leaving, that's all we really mean. Anyways, we like your necklace," Cassandra said and the three nodded. I ignored them and closed the door completely and a smile appeared on my lips. I sat at the foot of the bed when I felt a warm touch on my hair. I slowly turned around to see who it was. I felt relieved, when I saw it was Ryuu. "I can't sleep. Let's fly together with your whisk broom, and bring your cloak." He opened the window and to my surprise he was not even hurt by the barrier I made there. The moment he opened the window of my apartment, I immediately inhaled the cool breeze of the west. I grabbed the baluster and looked up at the sky when I saw that it turned red, I immediately shook Mattias' shoulder. "The moon!" I shouted at him and lifted his head and then pointed at the red moon. "It was natural, hurry up. Let's fly under the light of moonlight. Witnessing how happy we are," he promised and loaded me and then rode me on the broom. Using my magic, I first closed the window and curtain of my room. I was happy to lean on Ryuu's shoulder but eventually I buried my head in his neck. The fresh air is very good for the body. I looked down at the witches happily talking, and only then did I notice that they were made of wood and each house had two lamps hanging outside the house. I held onto Matthias's waist tightly as soon as I felt our flight rise. "Where are we going? Are we really just going around here until dawn?" I asked him laughing as I leaned closer to me. "We're going to the highest temple," he promised seriously so I didn't hesitate to speak more. After a few moments and a few stays in the air, our flight finally descended and landed safely in a forest. I pulled a thick vine, and a mysterious and mysterious temple was revealed there. A staircase that was made of marbles. The upper part of the temple had a vine that clings on it. There are three steps of stairs in front. And on its two sides are two big trees. I slowly walked up there. As soon as I got to my feet, my heart beat faster. "Welcome to the highest temple of Highest Mistress of Witches in this world," said Matthias happily. "How many more times will I be amazed by your world? In every world, in every forest, and in every vine that I pluck. It's a strange home," I chimmed as I open my arms widely, as the wind gently blew my cloak. "There's more. Look behind you, you'll see the white lake." Matthias pointed to the back and there I saw a lake that was very white, very beautiful. It is surrounded by various pigeons flying over the water. "That's the soul of one white witch, who killed herself in order to see her husband in another life," he said, almost whispering those words. I thought only in the world of people there is a painful experience when it comes to love? I didn't think so much pain and sorrow prevailed in this world. You can't accept this world without loving or losing someone you love. "Let's go, you need to wash your face with the water in the white lake." "Why?" I asked him in surprise. "It can heal or cast your pains." "Bait?" "Pain of the past." He did not speak again and immediately took my hand, down to that temple. I don't know why my heart is so happy. With every step I took, the leaves were gradually falling from the tree we were passing by. Until we reach the lake. I slowly lowered my foot into the lake. I felt the warm and cold fragrance of the water of the lake. Slowly getting better, and relaxing just like the way it should be. "Why did you bring me here? Did Mother order you or the three of you?" I arched my eyebrows at him, but he just shrugged. "I brought you here, because I wanted to." He took off his cloak and threw it ashore. He came closer to me while looking at me intently. Eyes that I first fell in love with him, first stole my attention and attention. His golden brown eyes that make me fall at him. I will never forget those eyes, who stole my heart. R-Ryui..." I said to him but he didn't seem to hear anything from me. He just kept coming closer to me, until he cornered me at the end of the lake. A vine hanging at the end of the I touched the lake. "I promised to myself. I would never fall in love with you, but now, I'm breaking it," he said as he ran his palm over my cheek. He caresses my hair as well. "What do I have that no one else has?" "Because you are Falandra Caran and not them," he promised and under the red moon, the white lake, and the doves flying in the sky. He lightly touched his lips to my trembling lips. I gasped and my eyes opened wide as his lips met mine. His lips were so soft, that kiss lasted ten seconds. We were panting and catching our breath after that kiss. Did he really kiss me? For real? It seemed like my system was happy when I felt the strange beat of my heart because of what happened. "Anyways, let's take a bath together. I promise, just a bath." He playfully winked at me as he said those words. I ignored that and continued to swimhe was with the lake. We hold hands while one is the one we use to swim, together with our feet until we come up. I gasped and covered my mouth when our eyes met, his hair was wet and suited him better. "This is the best bath ever," he said huskily as he caressed my hair down to my neck, his fingers that made me tremble for a moment. He couldn't stop grinning. You can really see in his eyes that he is very happy and I don't know what the reason is, if I am the reason for that, I don't know either. Our gaze was broken when the pigeon flew in the same direction. We followed it and that's when the one we thought was dead appeared to us. How can it be? Is it because he felt that there are two hearts that love each other in his lake, so he woke up to destroy Matthias' developing relationship as well? The white smoke that shows the white witch, carrying a staff she came to me. While Matthias was dumbfounded by an elf who approached him. If so, is elfo the wife of a white witch, the goddess of the white lake. "I am Zheryntelle Anaix Therlax, the white witch and the goddess of the white lake. How can I help to the both of you?" she said as she glanced at me and Ryuu I whisper to the wind to tell me about the ability of white witches and the lake. I closed my eyes as I sharpened my eyes and my mind. A thick book is what I see in my mind. It opened in the middle and there was a strange language that seemed familiar to me. A witch language. According to the book, the legendary lake was built by a compelling white witch. She used her tears to build this lake, but the truth is. . . under it lies the final ingredient to form the Nheria Therian. The substance is now held by fairies, who are believed to have taken and stolen it. It was in the sacred forest where there was a large temple by the side of the tree. There the fairies hid the substance. And those ingredients are two flowers that can only be found in a witch's garden—the Cattleya white diamond and the Calla Lily. These flowers signify; beauty, overcoming challenges, and rebuilt. They stole it to make the witch fall and they came out good. My eyes widened when I read that. I gasped and couldn't move for a moment. I looked at him stupidly. White eyes that seemed to be begging me to help him. My body trembled for a moment, as the wind gently blew as she said those words. "Find my flowers and help me, please, help me to cast their pains. And, I promise to you, I will give you a blessing in your forbidden love. You will never hide under the moonlight kiss, again..."
