*Present time*
The sword on my lap started glimmering and the outline of the sword started deforming. I held the handle in my hand and the next thing I know is that I fell on the chair that I was sitting on. I'm laying on the floor and something heavy is on top of me.
“Hmm??? Soft?? *squish, squish* s**t!!!” I immediately noticed that it was the chest of a girl. I tried to sit up straight on the chair and pretend that it didn’t happen. I glanced at her and she was still naked. Sitting on the floor covering herself with her hands and her long hair.
Silva approached her and said; “Here you go young lady, sir knight will buy you this black and white dress.”
“Really??” she asked me with a caring voice with her alluring blue eyes, followed by Silva’s menacing gaze at the back.
“Ye-yeah, I’ll buy that for you.” I said while thinking “I guess this is the only thing I can do to help her.”
I gave some of my gold to Silva.
“Thank you for your patronage, sir knight”
“Wait… can’t you just have given it to us since you know… you’re like her uncle.” I was trying to persuade him
And suddenly Zeph interrupted me; “J-just give up. H-He will take any opportunity to make money”
Vivien went up the room to change into the dress that was given to her
A short time passed by and she entered the lab wearing the dress but the more I stare at it the more I realize that Silva gave him a maid outfit. I was flabbergasted by the sight of her wearing it. She slowly walked towards me… and then tripped on her long, golden-brown hair. She stood up and acted naturally as if it didn’t happen.
Vivien sat on my lap as she looked at me and said; “A happy life. That’s what people want. That’s what people seek. They would always try and find that happiness and my father found his but destiny forbids it. Their love was never meant to be and the cruel gears of fate started to turn.”
*****
One midnight, in the middle of the forest, with everyone asleep. I heard my mother and father talking to each other.
Merlin whispered in the lady’s ear “You do not need to conceal it, I already know it, thy name.”
“Since when?” she asked in a concerning voice.
“It was always weird that thine body is always fine, whenever thee get injured thine body would always heal immediately and every time we would fight a horde of monsters, they would always run away whenever they see you as if they were afraid of something.”
“But how??? How did you know, I tried so hard just to hide it” the tears in her eyes started to flow down as she said those very words.
“Silly little girl. I am in love with thee, of course, I would notice every little detail of you.” Merlin smiled at her but his heart was being torn to pieces.
She looked back at the other five elemental
“Do not worry, I would not tell it to anyone” he said as his smile was covered in tears
She looked back at the other five elementals to everyone. I really am sorry.” The tears in her eyes can’t stop but their love was forbidden from the start.
He touched the lady’s face and said “It is fine, my beloved. Do what you must, but always remember, I would always love you… Mastema”
She was afraid to kill her beloved but he had known that she was one of the four archdemons, for he had noticed that she was one of the demons that started the great divine war. Mastema didn’t want to hurt nor kill them, thus she tried to run away but Merlin was holding her hand, not letting her go.
“I know that thou art ordered to kill us by HIM but if you do not do anything, you will suffer because of me…” He said while still thinking about her. “Please do it, be selfish, be greedy, just this once.”
She looked at him and both of them were crying. Their heart was being played by a cruel destiny. “I’m sorry, I just can’t do it”
He raised her hand and put it on his chest. He started casting her deadly spell on himself and the magic was locked on him. Mastema knows that he can learn any magic but what he’s using is demonic magic. She tried to stop him but if the spell was disturbed it would explode and kill them both. The spell was halfway finished and the only thing she could think of is continuing the incantation but using a curse spell for she did not want to kill him. She started saying the curse but her feelings for him were still there.
And as the final goodbye he said; “Remember, you would always tell me to just SMILE. Well, I found my happiness in both of you and our daughter.”
“DAAAAD!!!” Vivien shouted for she knew that something was gonna happen but what she doesn’t know is that, she only created a problem for them.
They both looked and the curse spell was disturbed. An explosion was created and Merlin emitted a blinding pillar of light and everyone woke up from what happened.
“Huh?! Is it morning already? No! HEY WAKE UP! WAKE UP!!!” Silva noticed the light that was coming from the woods and woke up the others.
They immediately ran towards where it was coming from and they found the lady with a huge boulder with the word “smile” behind her. They looked to their left side only to see Vivien with her eyes glowing. She’s hovering above the ground while ten golden majestic swords float around her.
She raised her hand and pointed towards her mother. The swords went flying, targeting Mastema. “Why? WHY DID YOU KILL FATHER!!!” she was filled with rage and anger, blinded by her wrath. She was shouting and moving her hands to target her own mother as if she was out of control.
Mastema just flew around, avoiding the swords. She couldn’t do anything or rather, she didn’t want to do something.
“~Earth sphere~” A spherical wall emerged, trapping Vivien inside “we need to stop Vivien from rampaging before she hurts herself more”
The sword stopped following Mastema and went for the spherical ground that Geo created.
*BANG, BANG, BANG~~~*
The sword struck the orb and her blades stopped moving.
Then Flama shouted “Did you kill her?? WHAT THE HELL, GEO”
*BOOMMM!!*
The orb exploded to smithereens and Vivien looked at us. she shouted at the top of her lungs “AHH!!!” she suddenly pointed her palm towards us and she started casting a spell upon us, then a blinding pillar of light started to appear in front of her hand.
“~Water Hydra~” Diluvion summoned a seven-headed monster made out of water. It conjured and appeared before them to attack Vivien.
Her spell and his magic collided with each other but Diluvion’s magic was stronger and it reflected on Vivien. The pillar of light struck Vivien and as the radiance slowly dissipates, a majestic sword fell from the sky and smite the huge boulder. The impact created a massive crater on the ground and a strong wind was emitted.
The sun was rising and Mastema was nowhere to be found and Merlin disappeared without a trace. Vivien cursed herself and was stuck to the smile stone.

Many years passed by, and with the disappearance of Merlin, the leader of the sense, they failed to cooperate and unify one another. They became selfish and obsessed to rule the sense until they were tempted by the devils. They were separated by their own thirst for power, greed for gold, and their hunger to rule. The powerful sense spread out to the world and created massive changes across the globe. Conquering every land in sight. Building their own territory and evolving with their own individual knowledge. Their feelings were amplified because of the temptation going through their minds until finally, a war created by their own desire emerged. The elementals couldn’t stop them from engaging in such conflict for they were afraid. Afraid of their power, afraid for their lives. They were afraid of the sense with their growing knowledge of magic. Thus they decided to hide deep in the ground.
*Present time*
“We decided to hide in this darkness. I’m ashamed to say that but what can we do? The only thing we could think of was freeing Vivien from the curse and unite them, once aga-” Diluvion was speaking until he was interrupted by the loud footsteps coming from the stairs.
*tap* *tap* *tap* *tap*
The noise that was coming down emitted a prideful and kingly aura.
“Boy. who do you think I am?”
Just by the voice, I felt the overwhelming pressure that I need to prostrate myself.
