One night, this skill of Run and Hide met its end at the hands of a war brought upon their village by the mighty King of Alusa, the Dragon Lord. Having lost everything in the war, Diamant is driven by rage and grieve to seek revenge against the King. This is no easy task as she will get entangled in lies, conspiracy, betrayal, love, war and magic. In all these, she discovers there are important questions about her life that only the past has answers to.

Diamant

The closer the burning body moved, the more her heart raced with fear. She stepped back mindlessly, her eyes not leaving the DL's burning body as it moved closer to her. 


They were there again, just that this time there was no crowd calling her Mother. There was no Aaron sitting on the throne, no Nein, no Nana. Just her on the podium and DL's burning body. 


She could feel the blazing heat. She looked up at him but his face was burnt, black and some of his burnt skin were falling to the ground. 


"Go away." She whispered out of fear as she stepped back but it kept following her. She looked around quickly if there was something she could throw at it but there was nothing so she continued stepping back till she finally hit the wall. 


Her hands felt the wall and her heart raced knowing she was trapped. Her eyes turned glassy with fear and she looked back at the burning body that was still walking towards her. 


"No!" She screamed but he didn't stop.
