On Diamant's 14th birthday, the strangest thing happened. A witch had almost killed her while warning her to stay away from the past. Diamant and her grandpa were people who lived on a survival skill of running and hiding from an unknown that relentlessly chased after them and threatened their lives. 

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.

Will she delve into the past to seek these answers which may cost her everything including her life? Or will she face the present, forgo knowing these answers and live the life she is struggling to build for herself?

Diamant

Gamama left the kitchen when she was done. She settled down while the cookies baked. 


When Risa got into her room, she saw Ike shivering on the bed and she was reminded of his sickness. She went to the herbs that Sunain had administered and fed them to him in appropriate proportions. His shivering stopped and she laid him back gently on the bed. She would be really lucky if she would be able to sleep tonight. 


Ike had been sick for three days and it wasn't getting any better. She was scared that she would lose him. 


Weakness and fatigue shook her to the very core, she knew she needed someone by her side. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sang Ike a lullaby while her mind drifted back to the time she met his father and all those sinful nights they spent together.
