Oxzoria Academy: The Heart of Zaronaria

Epilogue

♢

"Do you think she'll be able to bare see what's inside, your grace?"

"This is not the first time you asked me that kind of question. Of course, my daughter can handle it. There's no doubt that she wouldn't."

I release a heavy breath after listening to the door's loud thud that reverberates throughout the walls. I wandered my eyes around the place and everything was dark. There were no lights except the light coming from behind the doors.

I could barely hear the footsteps coming from both my mother and Sebastian, our castle's steward. Along the way, I noticed how this room was hidden below the palace as if it was considered to be hidden. Huge pillars of stone encircle the outside door. Blazing torches were hung above the corners giving the hallway enough brightness to prevent darkness from consuming the whole area.

I was not aware that my mother would let me be alone inside. I was nowhere of knowing where am I and what this room is. She just abruptly pushed me inside and closed the door without waiting for my response. I took a deep breath and tilted my head. It's not like I'm used to my mother. She always does this to me all the time.

I took a step forward and I could immediately hear the sound of my footsteps. I listened to the sound of my feet and realize that the floor might be made with marble. I reached my hand to find a handle that I could touch. I groaned in pain when I recklessly hit a stone in front of me and it Directly hit my stomach!

I was starting to get annoyed when I placed my hand on the stone that I hit but the stone Suddenly lit up. It glowed with violet color but the light was not enough to give me illuminance throughout the whole place.

Each generation speaks of its history and every image screams of its story

I read what was written above the stone while the light was wrapping the edges of its stone. I couldn't help but read it loudly and as loud as I can the whole place lit up. Slowly, I lifted my eyes and widened in shock after realizing where my mother just trapped me.

(I wasn't entirely trapped but it felt like one since my mother forcedly pushed me inside.)

It was the tapestry room. Way back before my name was engraved in the wand, my mother forbids me from going inside here. It's as if I even know where this place was but aside from that, she didn't want me to get a glimpse of this place since it is filled with history our greatest ancestors hold.

Huge tapestries were hung around the walls and each portrait was an image of Queens who reigns the kingdom to every generation. Beneath each tapestry was a rock standing. It was similar to the stone that I hit that was standing in the middle of the room and above its rock, words are also engraved.

I remembered how my mother doesn't want me to find this place because she was worried that I might know the future that waits for me.

'Queen Lyra The Creator Of All'

I stared at the painting of Queen Lyra. She was holding the wand full of bravery. Her wings were spread gracefully formed behind her. I suddenly got Goosebumps just staring at her. The wand beamed with light giving brightness and beneath her feet were dark silhouettes with eyes red like blood and behind her prays the people whose heads are staring up at her. Her eyes were closed and her lips are almost smiling. Her face was angelic. It was like her face resembles a real-life angel.

'Her name that shines like star illuminates hope for its people to gleam with courage. Her magic creates everything that brings peace throughout a land full of sounds of vehement. As she reigns, those who attack are caught up on its extension and as she lives, those who ask for peace will be blessed."
