Chapter 6 - Legend
Chapter 6 - Legend
I looked down at my trembling palms. 'I should have never come here. I was too caught up on annulling
Diana's engagement that I forgot about the actual party itself. If only Daisuke was here'
"Lady Diana is there something the matter. You look rather pale" there was cold but gentle tone that
brought me back to reality.
My instinct acted on its own. Grabbing him by the hand that was on my shoulder I twisted it then I
lashed my hand under his elbow before getting into a position in front of him and flinging him over my
shoulder. Too bad for him I was fast, preventing him to even react the slightest.
He landed in a loud thud with dirt particles formed around him. "OOF!"
The white haired man gasped for air from the shock of pain that ran through his back. I stepped back
watching him scrunch his face in pain as he grovelled in discomfort, resting his palm on his back.
"when did a noble lady have such reflexes?"
Watching him in this pathetic state made me realise how low the ancient people's pain tolerance are.
"tch pathetic" a heartless tone escaped my lips.
"You vile woman. How dare you lay a hand on a prince" he snared, getting on his fours still holding his
back like an old grandpa. Neil's silver eyes glared at me with hatred, his veins popping from his neck as
he clenched his white teeth together.
Nevertheless, it didn't scare me. No one in fact can scare me except for God whom has the power to
make me kneel before him.
"those delicate hands of yours will be cut off for hurting the prince"
I arched an eyebrow in admiration for his effort of trying to threaten me.'Does he really think threatening
to cut my hands will make me tremble before him.?'
'Oh, prince charming, I've gone through hell and back to be where I am now. So, don't even think a
lowly threat like that can compare to the things I've dealt with' I glared back at him with my icy blue
eyes competing with is fierce glare.
We tended to send each other death glares for a couple of seconds. I didn't want to waste more time
dealing with a idiotic prince so I broke off first. 'This is ridiculous' .
"What an eyesore" I span around and strolled back to the carriage. 'Forgot the annulment of my
engagement, I'll just send a letter tomorrow to make it up for it'
"Your bold enough to turn your back on me. The rumours weren't lying when they stated how vile and
disrespectful you really are. Even beauty can't hide how crude and wicked someone really is"
I looked at him from behind one last time. "Your right. Beauty can't hide one's true self it only covers the
ugly scars that one hides"
"don't blame me for the way I am, blame the world for making me this way" I said coldly, watching how
stunned his expression was before I stepped into the carriage.
I placed my chin on my palm and smiled a devilish grin "Good night to you, your highness". The horses'
hooves hit the ground as it galloped away.
'Hope to never see you again'
I let my body fall on the huge queen-sized bed.
What a soft comfortable mattress this is. Diana you might be just lucky to have a soft mattress to sleep
on every night unlike my hard one back at headquarters.
A sad sigh escaped my mouth. I miss my room back in my world. MyLED lights where I can change the
colour to go with my mood, my anime posters stuck on the walls, my manga book shelves with
hundreds of anime figures decorated and I would never forget my gaming computers that I would sit for
hours playing video games on my spare time, especially Call of Duty.
This world, this place, this room, it would never replace my real home that is waiting for me.
Just you wait world I'm going to find a way back.
But the problem is, how?
The only things I can think of that might help me return home or have any idea of how, is the Alphyrian
Crystal, the legendary white and black dragons or the guardian mage.
In the novel the 4 were portrait as the most powerful object or beings to ever have lived.
The crystal was the source of magic throughout the lands of the 6 kingdoms providing them with magic.
It is the energy that provided the beast men, elves, creatures and dragons their power to live.
It all started a thousand years ago, a mighty king lived ruling his kingdom in peace and prosperity.
Despite all that, humans, elves, beast men, and dragons lived in hatred. Wars between them always
broke out. Dragons hid in their caves surrounded by their treasures and preventing themselves for
getting caught into human and elves affairs while the elves fought to take back what belonged to their
Gods.
One faithful day, a mountain crumbled from beneath the earth, shaking the world beneath it. It was a
day that marked history between the races and the tragedy that will never be forgotten. Monstrous
beings came running down the mountain, with maces bigger than a boulder, axes sharp enough to cut
down boulders with one swing.
Orcs, is what the author wrote them of, possessing of dark magic that overpowered the light magic that
thrived in Alphyria.
They destroyed everything in their paths, massacring people and sucking the life out of the magical
creatures that lived in the forests, turning their life forces into dark magic. They were written as horrid
creatures, with teeth to crush bones, enormous hands that could crumble mountains. They had tall
muscular bodies that even the strongest blade couldn't pierce through.
They were unstoppable.
The king wasn't going to sit and watch his peaceful kingdom whose ancestors built go down. With no
choice, he and the elvish king swore alliance with each other to take down the orcs.
Even if they were alleys they still held bad blood between each other.
He and the elvish king used their army to try and take down the orcs and to send them back to the
mountains where they first came crawling out like flies, however their army were no match to the
monstrous orcs.
The king sought help from the dragons who hidden away from this war not wanting to take any part of
this dull war.
The Human King and Elvish King pleaded with the dragons, begging them to join or the world of
Alphyria will go down in chaos. No life will thrive anymore if they take over.
Coming with the terms,the legendary black and white dragon only agreed if the king was going to
surrender half his kingdom to the dragons and leave them in peace after.
The Human king had no choice but to agree with the White and Black dragon who ruled over the
dragon kinds.
With all the living beings of Alphyria under the King's order they went to war. It was a bloody war
between the races and in the end they sent the orcs back to the mountain where they came from.
To prevent the orcs from attacking again, the king suggested to use the crystal's power to lock them up
in their mountain. The elvish king refused to use it as it would bring darkness to the lands if to be used.
The Elvish king suggested that his people would guard the mountain tell years come when they would
find a way to permanently destroy them.
The king however did not trust the words of an elf even though they fought side by side against the
orcs he still wouldn't let go of the years they were in war with them that they started in the begging of
time.
He wanted the orcs to be locked away from the world forever and never to set foot in the soils of
Alphyria.
Taking advantage of the weakened elves, the human king stole the crystal. Using its power he stored
the orcs away in their mountain.
However, for the price of using it's magic the king and the crystal disappeared from the world and so
did his kingdom with him. With that, the crystal cracked and darkness leaked out and so did magic that
gave the human race the ability to use.
The human land was then divided into 5 kingdoms each one having an element to rule over.
Aureum the kingdom of gold, with the magic source being Light and Dark.
Drakon the kingdom of Dragons, with the magic source being fire.
Isvand the kingdom of Winter, the magic source being water and ice.
Terra the kingdom of forests, with the magic source being Earth.
Ventus the kingdom of the sky, with the magic source being wind.
To this day the crystal has been just a myth to everyone, no one knows where it is now or what
happened.
This is where the story begins. Ariana the prophecy child will go on an epic quest to find the cracking
crystal before it breaks and the lock that held the orcs inside the mountain disappears, setting the orcs
free once again.
While she's on this epic quest the five princes join her and their love for her progresses, however not all
of them survive the dangerous quest.
The first book was all about Diana bullying and tormenting Ariana, then to have the prophecy
announced and the start of the adventure begins. This leads to the second book where she learns to
use her newly found light magic which only the royals of the Aureum could only be born with. Damon
follows her making sure she is safe but reveals himself because the other love interest decided to tag
along resulting him in envy.
Through the middle of the second book, Edmond Silva the young prince of Terra gets eaten right after
he gets rejected by Ariana. The author had to make his death that gruesome that even I admit have
shed a little tear.
The second prince to go down was Neil Volant the crown prince of Ventus. He was ripped apart right in
front of the useless Ariana who only stood their crying and begging the goblins to let him go. This
scene pissed me off the most. Ariana did nothing, she didn't even use her magic which was powerful
enough to kill the goblins but decided to cry instead. I stopped reading for a couple of hours because I
could not deal with her stupidity and naïve thinking.
The third prince that went down was Lykos Drakous the crown prince of Drakon. He was stabbed in the
heart by Damon because he thought that he touched her and of course Ariana did nothing and
revealed it right after when Lykos died.
For **** sake Ariana how dumber can you get. Your mouth doesn't need fucking magic to open it.
The fourth one that went down was Aspen Chiaccio the crown prince of Isvand. He died saving Ariana
from the evil curse that was cursed upon her by the witch of the dark forest. He gave his life for her but
in return he died and of course it all started again with Ariana's stupidity.
Ariana just pissed me off throughout the whole trilogy that I may have thrown the book a couple of
times at my brother by accident. All their death would have prevented if she just had used her magic
and brain.
She just reminds me of Sakura from Naruto when she just stood their trembling in fear while Naruto
and Sasuke fort Haku.
I could try to embark on this quest with Ariana to find the crystal then use its power to go home but I
have no mood to go on a lovey dovey adventure of the 6-sided love triangle that will trigger me or make
me sick. That would be irritating to be around and don't get me started with her dumb ideas.
But I could try asking the dragons or the guardian mage. Even if they are said to be legends, in the
book Ariana had witnessed their existence.
A long sigh slipped through.
I'll think of my plan tomorrow morning, right now I need to rest my aching mind. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Daisuke this might take a while but hold on, your little sister is going to do whatever it takes to come
back.
I love you.
