Hansel WASTED NO MORE time and looked for Crystal. All he knew is that they’re in the deepest part of this ruined palace.
He tried searching for a passage underground but he found none.
He tried using his power and tried the ‘search’ magic but he found none.
He did not lose hope. he continues walking and running, finding some clues or passage that will lead him to his Crystal.
As he walked, he saw a big door. It’s a golden door with a frost flower on its linings.
He held it and caressed it, looking for a way to open it.
his hunch is strong. Her husband is already inside this door.
He pushed the door but it didn’t even open. He tried to freeze it but it melted immediately. He tried the fire but it also went out immediately.
He felt like panicking but he composed himself. he can’t give up.. not now when he they have a child.
Being so desperate, he looked up and opened his right hand.
A thunder and lightning filled the ruined palace. But it’s not a simple thunder and lightning.
the lightning he summons has a fire circling in it while the thunder sounds like an ice, crashing with each other.
And then, a luminous light started to appear in his sight. A small spiral light starts to gather while the fire and ice surround it.
He touched it and the palace started to shake. but after a couple of minutes, his very own weapon was in front of him.
His sacred treasure…
It has no form. It’s a spiral yin and yang hole.
As if on cue, the frost flower on the door’s linings started to burn. Confused as hell, he touched the door with his sacred treasure in his palm.
the door opened, revealing a dark narrow path with nothing to see.
When he takes a step, two candles start to light on it’s own, then he takes a step again and again until the candles are lighting up to form a path.
He followed the road and found himself in a beautiful scene, he looked around and when he saw someone sitting he approached him.
He ran between them thinking that Crystal was that person.
“Crystal! Thank god you’re o—”
the woman who was sitting looked at him and saw that her eyes were puffy. But his gaze landed on the woman in his lap.
A woman he knew well lay unconscious as if he was just sleeping.
“Sweetheart…”
“Sweetheart” he exclaimed when he saw the girl he loved.
There is a conclusion forming in his brain but he tries to get rid of it.
He knelt down and unconsciously held Crystal’s hand but he almost trembled with fear when he felt Crystal’s cold skin.
“No! No! sweetheart? Wake up! It’s me sweetheart.. Open your eyes.. Sweetheart?” He could barely breathe and wordlessly grabbed Crystal from the woman hugging her.
He stopped crying. He caressed Crystal’s face. “Sweetheart, Wife.. Open your eyes for me baby.. It’s not funny anymore.. wake up.. I’m here..”
But Crystal still didn’t open her eyes. He calmed himself even though he wanted to get lost.
“Wife? Stop sleeping! Damn it! Open your eyes please?”
“H-Hanzel?”
“H-Hanzel? Is it you?” It’s still a shock.
“It’s Hansel woman. Now answer me, who are you?”
the woman looked away. “I-I’m her mother.”
When Hansel heard that, all his self-control was gone. He remembered Crystal’s suffering at the hands of her mother. All the pain that Crystal went through suddenly entered Hansel’s mind.
He slowly let go of Crystal and without saying anything grabbed her neck and pressed his grip.
“You! It’s all your fault! How dare you??! I’ll kill you! I will fucking kill you!” Hansel shouted angrily.
from red eyes, the color of Hansel’s eyes became yellow-ish and almost all of his veins came out.
He was shaking with anger. He was out of his senses when he threatened to throw Crystal’s mother away.
instead of using power, he punches the woman’s face and body.
“It’s your fault!! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!” Hansel promised again and again.
“*cough* *cough*” Crystal’s mother did nothing. If he has power now, he can easily defeat Hansel.
“C-Child… S-Spi–Spirit.. R-Revive…” the woman forced words.
Hansel stopped there and tightened his grip on her neck.
“Y-Your child.. re-revive..”
Just when Hansel was about to speak, a voice echoed in the ruined palace.
just when Hansel was about to speak, a voice echoed in the ruined palace.
“4, 307”
“5, 028”
“5, 739”
Hansel stopped but still did not remove his grip on the woman’s neck.
“9, 920”
“11, 682”
“45, 820”
“68, 729”
“The dethronement is starting! Ready yourselves!” said an unknown voice.
“104, 827”
“286, 383”
“582, 574”
“816, 729”
“The emperors and empress will enter. Re-scanning..”
“926, 286”
“Activate..”
“1 million”
A lightning strike exactly on Crystal’s location and a light appears– blinding them.
when they open their eyes, Crystal is floating and beside her is a child wearing a royal white cloak.
Hansel let go of the woman and stared dumbfounded at Crystal’s side.
Crystal opened her eyes. “Dethronement successful. Searching the heir.. Found.. Replacing Activate..”
he’s sure that it’s Crystal’s voice. His hope that Crystal was alive suddenly came to life.
He ran between the two of them but before he could get close he was blocked by the three children next to Crystal.
They shook their heads and only now did he notice their eyes.
yellow-ish pupil with red iris..
“Dethronement successful.”
Hansel looked at Crystal and his gaze returned to the three children as they lit up at the same time.
“No! No! No!” Hansel shouted when he saw Crystal’s body fall.
He caught it quickly. “Sweetheart! sweetheart!” He patted Crystal’s cheek but she was no longer alive.
When Hansel realized that Crystal was no longer breathing, his power came out spontaneously.
“AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” He screamed. “Please wife! Wake up! Don’t leave me please?!”
There were tears in Hansel’s eyes. “I can’t leave without you sweetheart.. Please wake up.. I’m here.. Please.. Wake up, don’t leave me..”
Hugging Crystal, the three children spoke.
“Do you want to follow her?” The girl said softly.
crying— yes, Hansel is crying, a demon vampire is crying over his lifeless fiancee.
Hansel looked at the girl. “Yes.”
It’s up to him if it happens as long as he can’t bear to lose Crystal from him.
“We can arrange that. Maybe tomorrow—”
“I want it now.” Hansel interrupted the boy’s words.
“Okay. Lie her down.” The boy’s voice.
Hansel followed his order.
“Sit beside her and intertwined your fingers.”
The three surrounded them and started talking.
“In behalf of our goddess mother, we’re here to resurrect you yet again to live your life in the body of mortal. Grant thy wish to let them live fully yet without power. We give you our blessing now, go and find her so that you can live forever.”
Hansel stopped at what he heard. Stupidly, he looked at the three children before looking at Crystal.
“M-Mother?” He said almost in a whisper.
A joy rose inside Hansel. Now he understood.
‘The miracle will hatch at the right time’
And that is their children.
‘Wait for the bleeding moon and hope will surely awaken’
He looked up and looked at the moon. It is red.
‘In due time, the life of the creator will be sacrificed’
It is true. Crystal encrypted her life but for what and for whom?
‘A mortal lost his worries in exchange for eternal peace’
And that mortal is no other tham Crystal. Crystal’s body is mortal.
Hansel smiled and looked at the three who were now smiling at him and waving.
“Don’t cry dad! Mom won’t like to see you cry.” said the girl smiling.
The man next to him nodded. “She’s right dad. Stop crying.”
Hansel looked at a boy.
His eyebrows rose. “What? I didn’t prepare a eulogy. Shh.” It’s interesting.
his two brothers frowned while Hansel laughed.
“Thank you..” he said.
Along with that word, he closed his eyes because of the dazzling light that hit his eyes.
“Good luck dad!”
When he opened his eyes, he looked to the side because of the noise of the woman crying.
“Hmmm..”
The woman looked up and looked at him with wide eyes.
“Oh my god! He’s alive! My son is alive!” It screamed and came out.
He raised his hand and looked at the right side of the room. There is a big mirror there.
He slowly sat down and looked at his reflection in the mirror.
He smiled for some unknown reason.
After a few minutes, a female doctor rushes in to that room. “Patient number 28 is alive!”
Hansel looked at the speaker and his smile widened at what he saw.
“Crystal.. My sweetheart..”
THE END
EXTRA CHAPTERS:
“You’re being weird again Mr. Ferrer.” The female doctor said to the patient who was just smiling at her.
The man laughed. “My name is Aanzel. but call me Hansel from now on.” He said.
“Hansel..” the woman blinked. “Like Hansel Crackers? The biscuit? What a weird name.”
Aanzel held the girl’s hand. The doctor didn’t hesitate because he was used to it.
“How about you? Isn’t that name of yours also weird?”
the doctor snorted. “Flower is not a weird name!”
Aanzel laughed. “Flower Lavender Trinidad-Ferrer..” Aanzel grinned. “My surname suits in your name.”
Flower flicked Aanzel’s forehead. “You’re flattering again.”
“I’m not.”
Flower stood up from her seat and wrote something on the check list. “You’re fine again.. Just a little rest and your foot will be back to normal.”
“I want you to take care of me when I get out of here.” Aanzel grumbled.
“For your information Hansel crackers, I still have many patients waiting for me.”
“Tch. They can survive without you. Come on! Be my personal doctor.” This forced the doctor to do nothing but cough.
“Fine. Only for one month okay?”
Aanzel shook his head. “Nope. 3 months.”
“1 month only!”
Aanzel grinned. “3 months and that’s final.”
The doctor slapped his forehead. “I think since you woke up you’ve always been bossy.”
“That’s me!”
“Yes.. Just a moment. I’ll just get your medicine.” The doctor said and left the room.
A few minutes later, he returned with a glass of water.
“Oh here.. drink it so your foot will heal quickly.”
Aanzel shook his head. Flower widened her eyes but Aanzel was stubborn and didn’t want to take the medicine.
“I’ll get old before you!” Flower said with a frown as she opened Aanzel’s medicine.
Flower put the medicine in her mouth and drank water. Aanzel looked at him gaping before scratching the back of his neck.
He was about to speak when Flower grabbed his neck and pulled him closer.
Aanzel’s eyes widened and blinked. Flower passed the medicine to her mouth along with the water she drank and forced Aanzel to swallow it.
Because of the shock, Aanzel swallowed and only realized that he had taken the medicine.
“There! next time you haven’t taken your medicine I will really kick you!” Flower threatened.
Aanzel blinked and when he recovered from the shock, he grinned and without saying a word pulled Flower’s waist and made her sit on his lap.
“Naughty huh? We only do it once in the past. how about we make the most out of it?” He smiled. “I will make love to you until the sun sets.”
Flower’s face turned red. “That mouth of yours! Besides, what past are you talking about?”
Aanzel didn’t say a word. He stared at Flower for a few seconds before leaning down and kissing her lips.
The end…
