Crisis (Trouble in Menoran)

"It's been a long time professor." He smirked and did not look back continuing his activities in his mystic garden. When he did not responded for a while, she again spoke "We were friends, warriors and the strongest team Jeon."

This time he spoke, "Indeed it's been a long time dear. A long, long period of 2000 years." She was still covering her face when Jeon turned around and said, "I am glad you came for the promise giving his special rose drink to her."

She smiled and said, "Indeed you are a great healer and good at many things, but believe me. I was never able to forget the taste of this drink even in 2000 years." He smiled at the compliment and asked in a serious tone, "What brings you trouble, Dalia or should I say great Sorceress of Golden Orb."

She removed the covering on her face for the first time in 2000 years revealing a beautiful face but with the big dark scar on her forehead's left side piercing her eyebrow reaching her eyelid.

Jeon just looked at her in daze, and the memories of their destruction flashed in front of his eyes. He stumbled but Dalia held him making him sit. She said, "You are getting older Jeon, this face of yours is such a deception."

Caressing her scar with his long slender fingers, he took a long sigh and spoke, "You are the third most beautiful woman of my time. I never thought this scar of yours can make you even more attractive, with the passing time."

She smiled at him and spoke, "Indeed both of them were breathtaking, they were royals and I worked for them like you and others. So this compliment of yours will never offend me." She chuckled.

Jeon was silent when she thought to tease him. "You are older then all of us but still the most handsome bachelor. Are you still drooling over her?"

Jeon laughed louder and said, "Her daughter is exactly like her. Moreover, I stopped thinking about her when she chose him. Practically her daughter is my responsibility now. The promise we made to them is the only focus of this retired warrior."

Dalia became serious at the mention of her name, Jeon knew something was troubling her. So he asked her, "What did your Golden Orb predicted this time ?"

She told him about the demon of wrath and the intentions of it to swallow whole Menoran. Jeon was silently listening to her, then said, "What brought you in human world? This can not be a problem for her. She is enough for him."

Dalia sighed and uttered the words, which made Jeon widened his eyes in shock. "It's General of Azaarius. Ali Safdar, the fifth prince."

Jeon asked her, "Why the Azaarius kingdom's Safdar clan now? Aella cannot fight him. His clan was made viceroy of Mystica in human world 2000 years ago. The fifth son of their every generation was blessed with extraordinary traits making him the keeper of door to magnificent river of Mystica."

She groaned in frustration when she said, "Safdar will not fight us, he will attack Menoran. Arron, your brat who invite's trouble like he owns it, will be involved in this, and Aella's mission in this dimension will make her stand against General Ali Safdar."

Jeon was thinking, about all this when his eyes sparked with joy as he made Dalia remember an incident from 2000 years ago. He said to her, "Don't worry Dalia ! The keeper is going to get promoted."

She looked confused when he spoke, "The keeper of magnificent river is going to be the keeper of peace this time." Dalia was still clueless when Jeon smiled at her and said, "She is Aella; 'The ravishing trouble' and the blood of royal Mysticans. Trust her skills."

Dalia was still worried when she told him, "It's not just about Azaarius and Clan of Black's clash, but that demon of wrath even instigated the violent seven armies of Roosha from Northeast to attack Menoran."

Jeon again thought for a while and said, "I know it's piece of cake for Arron. What is your next problem ?"

She told him about the war inside the sea, "Alga is close to secret of his parent's death this time. Demon of wrath instigated his sister. He will have to fight her." Jeon raised an eyebrow and said, "Well that can be a little trouble. You can handle him I guess."

"One more problem Jeon ! Your old friend is back." She said making Jeon annoy when he snickered at her, "You will never change Dalia. Now what this demon of wrath has messed with?"

"The lord of 13 sorcerers with his 13 vicious spells, Alfiyya has this big challenge to deal with." Jeon was amazed by her words when he said, "Her father's blood will not let her retreat. And alone, she is too young to handle that creep. Neil will also accompany her and I think I need to warm up a little after 2000 long years."

Dalia once again opened her mouth to speak when Jeon spoke, "I know Menoran will drown in 30 days, if the black crystal is not taken away from there. Don't frustrate me more."

Dalia was relieved now that she joined hands with her old fellow. After all they were the only warriors who were still known to Mystica and bound to guide the right path to Aella and Arron.

Many were lost in the sand of time. Many were to be found with the time. What started must be ended...

Together, they both were ready to face it all for the sake of peace, friendship, loyalty and the forbidden love. They had no way out as this is what prophecy holds for them..
