Chapter One Hundred-Three:
Past…
Manu Palace
"Lady Siara!"
I clearly heard someone was calling out my name yet I don't want to wake up since that I wanted to know the person that's approaching me. But to no avail, I can't reach her then suddenly a shining light covered my eyes that awaken my consciousness then I see Wei's worry face.
"W-wei…"
"Oh, Lady Siara! You're having a nightmare."
A nightmare? Is that really a nightmare? I don't know but it seems not, yet I couldn't explain what it is. Maybe Wei was right. Anyway, now I am awake I think I shall just forget about it.
"I'm sorry, if I scare you."
"No, my Lady. I'm just glad that I quickly heard your moan and see you having trouble of waking up."
I smiled. "Thank you." Though why do I feel that I need to know who that person was. Even so, I will know it soon.
Present…
Edelweiss Kingdom
Del Gazini's Residence
"My Lady, what are you thinking?" Wei noticed my quietness.
I sighed. "I just remember something."
"And what is it my Lady?"
"Remember when I told you about the nightmare that I dream before?"
"Yes, I remember. What about that, my Lady?"
I smiled. "I already knew what it means."
"Really, my Lady?"
"Yes, indeed."
"But isn't it a nightmare, what does it mean to you?"
"It isn't a nightmare." I spoke. "It is more of a… vision of me."
"Vision of you? What do you mean? I don't even understand you, my Lady?"
"I know you won't be. But, how can I explain it clearly? The nightmare I saw was not really a nightmare but a vision that came from the future. A future of me."
It took a long time before Wei could answer what I explained. "If what you were saying is true, then, why did you see your future? Isn't that very impossible for that to happen?"
Wei was right though one thing she doesn't know, that I already half awaken. I have memories from my past and even if it's just a little bit I know that what I've been dreaming about has something to do with what my future might be.
"It is hard to explain Wei but I am so sure, it is my future self." I pointed it out clearly.
"My Lady?"
I smile at her. "You will understand it soon." I just answered.
…
Somewhere deep into the woods…
"The Princess's memories have not been completely restored but she has already found a way to stop Bela, how did that happen?" Sai suspiciously asked.
"The Princess' explanation was not detailed but she was sure that neither Bela would be able to disturb her at this time or in the days to come. So, let us trust her words because she knows what she was doing."
"I really hope so, Lucius."
"You sound so doubtful, Lady Sai."
Suddenly out of the blue the one that they were talking about finally came and she was standing at the entrance of the ruin church where they assign to meet up at this moment. It is for the arrival of the awaken soul of the twin sister, their 'Hope'.
"Princess Siara." Lucius kneeled and bowed his head as he greets her while Sai shyly do the same.
"Why Sai, are you losing faith with me?" Siara asked as she finally walks closer to them.
"No, my Princess. I am just worried that no matter what you do Bela will still find a way to escape and by the time that happens I am so sure you're the first one he will look for." She explained.
"No worries, Sai." She spoke. "Someone helped me to keep Bela away for a long time. A time that we need. So, you really don't have to worry."
It takes long before Sai answered. "Can I ask who helped you, my Princess?"
"Sai!" suddenly Wafi came in and stepped forward and bowed to Siara. "I apologize for her rudeness, my Princess."
"There's nothing to apologize Wafi, I understand her worries." She answered. "Anyway, now that we are complete. Let us begin what we came here for."
…
"Much has changed since the destruction of the Cabot Tribe, my Princess." Lucius said.
"I can see it." I replied. "When I wandered around yesterday, a lot of Witches and Warlocks were already on their own way. Some choose the Manu Clan and some choose the Edelweiss Clan while the other chooses to stay along with humans and live like a normal one."
"You were right, my Princess." Sai answered. "Those who remained with the people and lived only normally have completely forgotten 'The Curse' one. They didn't even think they could still help once 'The Cursed' one returned."
"You were right Sai." I agreed with her but then added. "But I envy them." I said that everyone surprised.
"What?" Sai surprisingly asked.
"Because they have the opportunity to be free," I said. "I'm not like that as long as I live, my twin will live too. A twin who will destroy and kill all creation, and I… I'm the sacrifice that needs to die just to make sure my twin won't live. That doesn't even give me hope to have a family I can be with until I'm old. That makes me so sad every time my memories come back. Make me wants to wish, that I hope I just don't remember my past and let me live a normal life."
Lucius, Wafi and Sai look at me so surprisingly and no one say a word after what I stated. I can't blame them if what I said is surprising because that is not what I'm destined for. What I am destined is more tragic than what I wanted to have. And I couldn't stop it no matter what I do, no matter how I wish and cry it will always find a way to fulfill what is destined to me.
If only I can be with Haimon till forever maybe…
