Chapter 48: The Snow and My Memories

Continuation...

Selena: So don't agree to what Pasiphaë wants if you don't want to be imprisoned in the Labyrinth that King Minos will order you to build, along with your son and the Minotaur. This will also lead to your son's death.

After saying this, Selena left…

Icarus: Father, who was that woman who spoke to you?

Daedalus: She said her name was Selena, and that she came from the future.

Icarus: What?! shocked

Daedalus told his son everything Selena had said to him.

----------------------------------------------------------

While Selena was walking…

Selena: (I will do everything to control Icarus' stone.)

Later that afternoon, Pasiphaë approached Daedalus…

Pasiphaë: Help me seduce my husband's bull.

Daedalus shocked (Selena was right!)

Daedalus refused, but Pasiphaë kept insisting and pestering him.

Pasiphaë kneeling down:

Daedalus: My queen, what are you doing?! Stand up.

Pasiphaë: No! Unless you agree to what I want, I will continue kneeling here and begging you to help me.

Daedalus starting to sweat:

Suddenly, Selena arrived, pulled the queen up, and dragged her away.

Pasiphaë: What are you doing?! How dare you meddle in my affairs when you are just a mere servant in this kingdom?! angrily raises her hand

Daedalus: My queen, please don't!

Just as Pasiphaë was about to slap Selena, she suddenly stopped when she saw something in Selena's eyes.

Selena staring intensely:

Pasiphaë: (Why is this happening? Her eyes look like those of a lion, staring intently at its prey, ready to pounce.) lowers her hand

Selena: You need to change your clothes, my queen. smiles menacingly

Pasiphaë: A-alright! nervous I'll talk to you later, Daedalus. glances at Daedalus

Icarus saw everything as he stepped out of his room.

Icarus: That must be Selena. (She's so beautiful.) blushes and stares in awe

From the moment he saw her, Icarus was captivated by Selena's beauty.

Selena: (I don't care if Poseidon gets angry and punishes me...)

Poseidon: sneezes

Selena: (I will do everything to get out of this place.)

After bathing, Pasiphaë was served tea by Selena.

Pasiphaë drinks the tea: Thank you.

Suddenly, the queen started vomiting blood.

Pasiphaë: W-what did y-you put in my tea?! Aahhh!!!! dies

Selena: (I'm sorry, but I had to make sure that Daedalus wouldn't be imprisoned and that Icarus wouldn't die.)

But...

Other Maid: Aahhh!!!! drops the laundry

Bang!!

Guard: What's happening here?!

The guard saw their queen lying dead on her bed.

Guard: Tskkk!!! charges at Selena

Selena dodges the guard's weapon: Yah! kicks the guard's stomach

Guard gets thrown against the wall: Ackkk!!! drops his weapon

Selena grabs the spear that the guard dropped and rushes out of the room

"Catch her!!"

Selena runs as fast as she can

While riding his horse, Icarus noticed Selena running away from the guards chasing her outside the palace.

Icarus: (That's Selena! I need to help her.) Yahhh!!

Horse: Neigh! Neigh!!

Selena: (I'm almost at the gate.)

Suddenly, a man riding a white horse blocked her path.

Selena stops in her tracks: (Icarus?!)

Icarus: Get on!

Selena climbs onto the horse

Icarus: Yah! Yah!!!

"Don't let them escape! Close the gate!"

Just as the guards were about to close the gate, Selena threw the spear at the one attempting to shut it.

Guard: Aahhh!!! dies

Icarus: Whoa! That was an amazing shot. Where did you learn that? looks at Selena

Selena: Just go faster and watch where you're going!

Icarus: Alright. focuses ahead Yahhh!! Yahhh!!!

Right before they could completely escape, Selena grabbed and pulled the gate's locking mechanism.

Afterward, they made it out, leaving the guards behind as they struggled to open the locked gate.

One of the guards: Damn it! punches the gate Hurry up! Open the gate!

Selena: Go faster so they can't catch up!

Icarus: Got it. Yah! Yah!!

----------------------------------------------------------

As they rode away…

Icarus: You're Selena, right? The one from the future?

Selena: Yes.

Icarus: Ah, I'm Icarus, the son of Daedalus. Thank you for warning us and saving my father and me.

Selena: When you return, take your father and escape as far as possible. The guards will hunt you down because you helped the person who killed their queen escape.

Icarus: You killed Pasiphaë?!

Selena: Yes, it was for your own good. Most importantly, promise me that when you create your wings, you won't fly too close to the sun.

Icarus: Why?

Selena: Because that will be the cause of your death.

Icarus: Ah, o-okay.

----------------------------------------------------------

When they reached a hill, Icarus stopped his horse.

Selena gets off the horse:

Icarus: We'll meet again, right, Selena?

Selena smiles:

Icarus: So, your silence means yes, right?

Selena: Just go. Don't forget the promise you made to me.

Icarus: Alright. Yahhh!!!

Horse: Neigh!! Neigh!!!!

----------------------------------------------------------

Icarus rode away with his horse.

Suddenly, a white portal appeared in front of Selena.

Selena steps into the portal and closes her eyes

When she opened them again, she found herself in a place filled with white roses and falling snow, while Callista embraced her tightly.

Selena looks at Callista: Did I succeed?

Callista looks at Selena: Yes, my child. You changed the fate of Icarus and Daedalus, so you have regained control of your body, and Ireña has completely disappeared from your heart.

Selena: What about Icarus' stone?

Callista: It has vanished as well, but Icarus has granted you immortality.

Selena: So that means I will never be wounded or die again?!

Callista nods and releases Selena from her embrace: Look around and watch every falling snowflake.

Selena gazed at her surroundings, and with every snowflake that fell, she saw her memories as both Calla and Selena.

Selena: They're so beautiful, Mother.

Callista smiles.
