Mother nature was furious at his conduct. They were her children, yet for a mere human they would go against her will. She was going to refuse when he swear in the name of natura law making a pact between both of them. Unable to unbind the swear, she had no choice but to comply. A bind between a beast and a human was made. Everyone was concern about the phoenix but he was glad he could save everyone. Soon after, everything became like before, the six of them spent their time with her happily.
But a human attachment was strong for their loved ones especially for their family. Aithne was missing her home, her only family was her sister. She was longing for her. She talk more of her sister with them, often she would make a sad face in remembrance of her sister.
The beasts heart aches seeing her like that, so they told her to go and meet her family. Aithne was delighted to hear that, she promised to return. So she was home, seeing her sister in the yard she runs towards her, hugging her tightly into her arms, they both broke into tears. Aithne told her sister all about the things she experience there. A week pass, it was time to return, she was sad to leave her sister so she made a request to the phoenix.
After some days they return, the beasts were happy for her return but was surprised seeing someone hiding behind Aithne. She step sideways, letting them to take a look at her sister. Seeing her they were shock, both of them look alike. Smiling Aithne introduce, "this is Achlys, my sister."
They welcomed her warm-heartedly. Days pass, Achlys noticed how affectionate the beasts were towards her sister yet not to her. Jealousy, greed overtook her heart, the shadow notice that. By fanning her greed the shadow transform it into hatred. The Lord of shadow took pity on her and form a pact with her. Thinking that, in this way he can save her from those monsters. But, not knowing her inner feelings the shadow lord got corrupted. One by one she bought down the beasts.
When Aithne notice that it was too late, yet she tried her hardest to save her friend and sister. The two lords and the two sisters fought hard, both hurt yet none would back down. Finally the darkness was subdue, but not defeated. Achlys promised to return as she fade away. To secure the both realm Aithne use her last drop of power to cast a barrier to divided the realms as it was before her arrival. Her body turn into the phoenix form and shattered, the pieces flew in many directions.
Suddenly the surrounding was like a glitch effect. Again, I was standing at the hilltop beside the tree full of life like before. Everything unfolds in the same manner, repeating each action accurately.
It was like watching a movie again from the start. I was shock by what was happening before my eyes. "It's the hell that I live in, from that day it is always like that. The past repeat itself, before my eyes I kept seeing how our days of happiness was destroyed into dust," Namaari spoke bittlely. "Here," he was holding something in his hand, as I took it, light inflame from it as it becomes one with me. "Another pice of the Phoenix," I murmur. I look up at Namaari, his voice wail as he spoke, "I leave the rest in your judgement, pray for you success, chosen one."
"I do not understand, if the monsters came from the shadow, can not the shadow lord control them?" When I asked this question his face shows sadness.
"The shadow lord control the monster born from the shadow but those were not born from shadow instead they were born from human negative emotions." He paused for a moment and continues turning back at his land, "when a human negative emotions reached it peek, little by little those emotions merge into a monster. They grow stronger feeding on those feelings. We called them 'Dasrekeb'. Roaming into the shadow, they mostly stay on the border area. Sometimes they would come out, to hunt. Be it our kind or yours, they would massacre anything in their sight. To prevent them from harming humans the keepers exists."
Sottoly I said, "now I understand, why did nature interfere." Sneer smile across my face, "exception for one or save the rest. She choose the latter one." "Nature is kind and cruel at the same time. You said she was the cruelest, did you truly not know of your action could result into harming both realms?" Hearing my question, he made a guilty expression.
"So you knew. Having emotions is no crime, but not knowing how to handle it is another thing. Know how to show, how to hide, even us human are slaves of our emotions. Sometimes it brings so much misery to us that we wished for death. You have live long enough to know how human emotions work, how it lead one to another. She knew, that's why, she interfere cause, she wanted to maintain the peace of both sides, yet arrogant all of you, decided to go against her, given your best to your emotions, which you barely knew. You called your own doomed."
A deep sighs escape from my lips, "I am trying my best to survive in this world, so I can not promise you, your salvation. Do not hope for more from me, I am nothing but a mere human. It is high time, for you to correct your mistake. I hope you could make a wise decision, lord of Flazerkes."
Mist covered me as I bid farewell to him, tears fall from his eyes as he came to realize my words, a bitter smile on his lips, "finally salvation has come to me." I did not understand why did he said that, but the look in his eyes has change into something. That's enough, I glad that we met.
