Revelations and Shifting Fates, A Game of Destiny
"Before I answer your questions, your majesty, I wanted to ask something first." The Pope said
Jaehan hums, pouring herself a cup of tea,
"Magic. I heard Lady Reillana had used magic"
Jaehan paused, her eyes flicking to lock with the Pope's
"Hm." She chuckles, sitting up properly, "It seems there are certain stuff even you don't get, even with a specified magic."
"yes, Reillana had used magic, although she doesn't know what it costs just yet"
"Cost? Magic has no costs." the Pope said
"Specified magic don't, obviously, yours is to heal and give strength, I'm not aware of what magic Reillana uses, but yes, Magic has a Hidden Cost Every time she uses it, they unknowingly lose a piece of their soul, shorten their lifespan, or affect someone else's fate"
"Someone.. else's?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure your son will be fine." She chuckles
"The fate has changed since she used magic? Is that it?" The Pope ask, sipping some of his tea
"No. It was when Alistair rescued her, that's where the fate has changed. It became more complicated, both of our end is coming soon, Adrin." She chuckles
"You live almost a thousand years, even before the medieval era, probably the day the first men were born." The Pope said
"That was one hectic era, I've served thousand Kings and Queens all over the continent, helped prophecies and war win, yet I was never written in histories, only in the Temples sacred books. One of your dirty books." Jaehan sighs, knowing exactly what kind of book the Pope had saved her in
"You claimed in this era, is where we die. The Kiranumbra era, where the light outshines the shadows-"
"Not anymore." Jaehan cuts off the Pope's sentence. "The light no longer outshines the shadows, the shadow has found its new host perhaps, the devil made another demonic warrior. The crown won't win."
"Our light is no god. The light is the crown that gives prosperity over our Empire, one warrior cannot harm the crown. Cannot destroy our light!" The Pope snaps
Jaehan sighs, putting her cup on the table
"The Entire Empire revolve around magic, royals and war. The warriors had been in the darkness for long as the crown shines every era."
"The end of the crown is nearing, it cannot escape this one shadow."
The Pope eyebrow rises, "What?"
Jaehan sighs and stands up, "It already happened."
"The Return Of The Demonic Warrior."
"Her magic is restrained, Reillana don't know any magic!" The Pope spoke back
"Reillana doesn't. Haru does. And Haru is the greatest Warrior of Kallister Empire that you had let into the Marfester Empire!" Jaehan snaps
"I followed the light! His majesty's order!"
"By greed! The one thing we always discuss. The Greed that changed one's perspective! The emotion that drives people crazy!" Jaehan added
The Pope fell silent before chuckling
"No. It isn't greed."
Jaehan looked at him confuse and frustrated
"It's revenge. If Haru really has the power to awoken magic over Reillana. Then how far is revenge if the Demonic Warrior wants it?"
