The Beginning and the End

The night was too long. Footsteps of an unknown creature went through the path of the imperial consort's residence. Bells hung on the roof of the residence danced with a tinkling sound because the cold and heavy wind brushed all over the haltoria. The door gradually opened and a long cape showed up. A man with a long cape and Masked face entered the room and walked slowly and soundly towards the bed. He grabbed the knife in his side pocket and---stabbed it into the chest of the consort who was sleeping peacefully on the bed. "PAST IS NOT JUST PAST! SOME PEOPLE WOULD NEVER FORGOT A SINGLE SCENE" he said while smirking. What can be that mysterious PAST?

The man took a drop of consort's blood and lick it. His hair gradually became red while his eyes turned deep red. He became a monster with the power of Phoenix. He growled in satisfaction. Suddenly a dark shadow entered the room and bow the monster. "MASTER, IMPERIAL MOTHER FRAMED CONSORT YEDILDA! SHE WAS NOT EVEN INVOLVED IN A SINGLE SCENE. AND THAT GIRL WAS--MAIRA" he said in a sad tone. "WHAT? MAIRA WASN'T THE ONE WHO HELPED ME TO ESCAPE THAT HORRIBLE PALACE? THEN HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?" He felt guilty and wanted to make up everything from the beginning. His growl became louder and louder, Even more, it was a horrible growl. Royal guards rushed to the residence.

But, suddenly an arrow with red feathers fled towards the monster and hit his chest. The monster growled louder in pain and fell off the ground. "MAIRAAAA?WHAT DID YOU DO? I WAS TRYING TO HELP YOU. BUT?"--"ENOUGH AUNT! HE DOESN'T LOVE ME!SO, THERE IS NO NEED TO KEEP HIM ALIVE!" SHE said while tears filled her eyes

IT'S SO COLD! SAVE,...SAVE ME!"He slowly opened his eyes! "WHY IS MY HANDS ARE SO SMALL? WHERE AM I?" He took a look at himself in the pond next to him. "IT'S ME! OLD ME! SIEGFRED! A HUMAN! AM I DREAMING? WHY AM I LIVING IN THE PAST? IT'S COOL ANYWAYS! WHAT'S THE DAY TODAY?" He took a look at the sky. A deep blue sky with millions of stars twinkled and a crescent-shaped moon was shining in the center! His eyes gradually closed and he began to sleep on the field. After a few hours, the sun began to rise, and the golden sky spread lights all over the haltoria. Tiny chips woke young Siegfried from his peaceful nap.
