Moon hime

Chapter 3

Crystal Academy

Aklira's POV

Loud banging sounds

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

YEAH, IT'S ME AT THE BACK DOOR! IT'S ME!

YOUR PRETTY ALLIRA MEA, 18 YEARS OLD!

THE ONLY CHILD

OF ALISHA AND LEX

YEAH, IT'S ME!

I'M THE WIND PRINCESS!

"Hey, girl, why are you so loud this early in the morning?"

"Oh, I knew you'd be here already in our dining room.

HI MY BEST FRIEND DUSTINE SHOR DUST SHOULD I CALL YOU KUYA

'CAUSE YOU'RE OLDER THAN ME

EARTH PRINCE

HOW'S TITA ATHENA AND TITO FLOUS

Tsk

Only a year older, Dustine.

Sit down here, breakfast is almost ready.

You're so grumpy."

"How can I not be grumpy? You're calling me 'Kuya' even though we're only a year apart."

"YMUY SANDEA Short for Alexandra, how are you?"

"Good morning Alli and Dustine."

"You know, Sandra, don't greet that noisy girl. She's like a dust cloud."

"Whatever, Alli, why are you so happy today?"

"Sandra, I'm always happy. What do you think?"

"Yeah, I know, but you seem extra happy today."

"Well, look at me! I'm so beautiful today. I have such fair skin and very dark gray hair. I really love myself."

"That's your everyday look, Alli."

"Really, Sandra? Did you hear that, Sandra? It sounds like someone is talking."

"It's just you, girl."

"Hi, good morning guys.

Why are you all so loud?"

"Well, the Prince of Warriors is awake.

Hi Liander, morning. You know these two, always picking on me."

"She's complaining already, huh?

Alli, nobody's picking on you. You're just too noisy.

Look at Dustine, he's been frowning because of your noise."

"You guys are always joking around.

Lian, short for Liander."

"That's how we are every day. Dust and I are childhood best friends. Our parents are also best friends.

We have two more best friends.

One is Aira, she's on a mission right now.

And our other best friend... she's gone. She died when she was 8 years old. Aira and I were 9, and Dustine was 10 at the time.

I still remember her angelic face, her sweet smile...

Let's not talk about it."

"By the way, Alexandra is the Water Princess. She's 19 years old. We became friends because she was also chosen by the Moon Goddess, like Liander. They were chosen by the Moon Goddess."

"Hey, Allira."

"Huh?"

"Why are you so quiet now?"

"Dust is picking on me, that's why I don't want to talk anymore."

"Haha, you're kidding.

We're not picking on you."

"Tsk, here's my black card, Sandra. Find someone else to talk to."

"Wow, you're so arrogant. Just because you have a black card. Wait until I get my black card too."

"Tsk, all of you are annoying.

ICE, YOU'RE HERE!

Allira, don't shout. Leader has been here for two days. You're too busy with other things to notice."

"I was talking to Dust."

"Haha, you're always speechless around Sandra, boy."

"What do you think Dust is?

Lian, he's not someone to be intimidated by."

"You're the same way with Sandra, bro, haha."

"Tsk, all of you, 30 push-ups."

"WHAT? NO WAY!"

"We haven't even had breakfast yet."

"I'm still weak, Ice."

"No excuses."

"It's your fault, you're all so noisy."

"I'm complaining to them quietly."

"You were the one who started making noise, it's all your fault, Allira."

"And because our leader got angry, we have an early morning punishment. I forgot, Ice was probably conceived in anger. I haven't even showered yet, I'm already sticky."

"Hooh..."

"Finally finished."

"I don't want to be noisy anymore."

"Ice has been more irritable since he came back from his mission."

"It's so hot. I'm hungry."

"We're all complaining,

But quietly, because Ice might get angry again. If he wasn't our leader, I would have punched him."

"We all sat down at our seats. I'm hungry, okay?"

"Ice, how was your mission?"

"Ask him."

"Fine..."

"Am I the only one asking?"

"I know Ice is quiet, but once we ask about his mission, he starts talking. But today, he just said 'fine.' What happened on your mission?"

"We all looked at each other and then back at Ice."

"I noticed he was staring at his wrist."

"I saw a gold bracelet on his wrist."

"As far as I remember, he doesn't wear jewelry. This man doesn't like jewelry."

"What do you mean, Ice?"

"Sandra, ask."

"I did. I brought Ms. Mellisian here to Crystal Academy. That's all."

"That's it? There's definitely something different about him today."

"But wait, did he say Ms. Mellisian?"

"Ice, you mean Mellisian from Crystal Moon Forest?"

"I asked."

"This made him look at me."

"You know her?"

"Yeah, Dust and I know her. She's a friend of our parents."

"She has a daughter?"

"We looked at each other, Dust and I, after Ice's question."

"Don't tell me they met Aira."

"They did,"

"Dust said, there's something to talk about."

"What does she look like?"

"She has golden brown hair like Tita Mellisian."

"I answered."

"Then she's not the one I saw."

"He said, turning his attention back to his wrist.

What's with that bracelet?

He seems to be focused on it."

"Crystal Moon Forest. Who owns that forest?"

"He asked, still looking at his bracelet."

"That forest is owned by the Moon's chosen daughter. That's what they say. They say that whoever sees the Moon Daughter will die. Even the Black Runner doesn't want to see her. Because once you see her, you'll die immediately. That's how powerful she is. That's why we were worried about your mission because it's possible you might see her."

"I talked a lot."

"How about Ms. Mellisian? Why is she in that forest?"

"Well, Tita Mellisian is not just a normal Runner. She has her own way to protect herself."

"Dustine said.

I was listening while they were talking, and Ice was still deep in thought, like there was something he couldn't tell us."

"Then the woman I saw in that forest is not the Moon Daughter and also not Ms. Mellisian's daughter."

"I need to talk to Ms. Mellisian."

"He said that and suddenly stood up, causing us to stand up as well.

'Ice, where are you going?' I asked.

'Master Alisha,' he replied.

'Why, Ice? There's a meeting you're not telling us about,' Sandra said.

'Ice, what's wrong? Tell us, we're family here,' Kian said.

But he looked at us all before speaking.

'Do your training today until tomorrow. I need to go back to that forest. Dustine, you lead the group.

I have an unfinished mission.'"

Alexandra POV

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!..."

"OH MY GOD!"

"THE ROYALTY ARE HERE!"

"OMG!"

"THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME!"

"I HOPE I CAN RANK UP TO THEIR LEVEL NEXT TIME!"

"GIRL, YOU'RE DREAMING! YOU'RE STILL STUCK AT LEVEL 1!"

"Hmph. Dreaming is not a crime."

"You can only dream about it."

"Whatever! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I LOVE YOU, ROYALTY!"

"PLEASE FORGIVE ME!"

"Hey girls, why is Prince Ice missing? It's been three days."

"I noticed that too. And the Royalty have been staying in the training room all the time."

"I heard he went back to the Crystal Forest."

"WHAT? But isn't it super dangerous? No one ever survives there!"

"How did he come back then?"

"Duh, he's strong!"

"Why are you so dumb?"

"Ugh, why are they always screaming? And all that weird stuff they're saying... "

"Alli, can you please shut them up? They're so annoying!"

"Haha, Sandra, that's mean! You want to get me in trouble too?"

"I thought you were the calmest one, Sandra. What happened?"

"Tsk, you look like an i***t smiling like that, Lian. You just want attention from those girls."

"You're right, Sandra. I want to bang their heads together with this Dustine. Especially when he winks... I want to poke his eyes out!"

"Hey, don't drag me into this! That was just a blink, okay?"

"Sigh... If Ice were here, they wouldn't be acting like this. They'd be too scared to make a sound. Oh well, let's just go back to the training room, even though my body aches from all the training."

"By the way, my name is Alexandra. Wait, you probably already know me, but let me introduce myself properly. I have long, ocean blue hair. I'm beautiful, fair-skinned, tall, and sometimes graceful. Oh, and I'm smart... sometimes. I'm usually good at teamwork, but not always. I don't know, I'm bad at introductions. Blame these noisy people for making me nervous."

"So, we're here at the training room. If you want to know what it's like, come on in!

Well, it's a room.

Obviously, it's a training room. What am I saying?

But once you enter, it's like you're transported to another world.

It's a vast and refreshing field. It feels like a resting place, like a huge garden. It doesn't really look like a training room, but whatever. You'll see."

"Hehe."

Dustine POV

"ZBBBBOOOGGGGSSSSSSHHH..."

"BBBBBLLLLLLAAAAAgggggggggggggggggg..."

"WIND OF MY SOUL PROTECT!"

"BBBBOOOOOGGGGGGSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH..."

"WOOOOOOOHHH!"

"That's nice, Alkura."

"Tsk, I know, Dust. You don't have to shout, duh."

"This girl is always saying something stupid."

"Hey, we're not bad either, Dust. We're also good, like Sandra. Why only praise Alli?"

"Tsk, you can't wait your turn, Lian."

"Yeah, we're getting better."

"Of course, we're the Syone holders. We can't be weak."

"You guys are so arrogant. If Ice were here, you wouldn't be acting like this."

"But Dust, Ice is not here, so you'll have to excuse us."

"Alli is right. Let's take a water break."

"Yeah, bro, let's rest. My body hurts."

"Fine, fine. You guys are always complaining even though you're already sitting down."

"Tsk, you guys are so lazy when Ice isn't here."

"It's been three days since Ice went back and forth to the Crystal Forest, and you're just letting him go? What's wrong with you, Alli?"

"You know, Sandra, you're usually quiet, but you're being a bit too suspicious lately."

"Che, I'm not talking to you, Lian. You're always my rival."

"Let's just trust Ice. He knows what he's doing."

"Lian is right. Stop overthinking, you two."

They fell silent for a moment, then...

"BBBBLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!"

"BBBBBOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"BBBBBBOIIIIISSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"KKKKKYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"WHAT THE?!"

"METAL SHIELD NOW!"

"BBBBOOOGGGSSSHHHHHHH!"

Liander POV

"BBBBBBLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGG!"

"BBBBBBBOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSHHHHHHH!"

"BBBBBBOOOOOGGGGGGGGSSSSSSHHHHHHH!"

"KKKKKYYYYYYAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"WHAT THE?!"

"METAL SHIELD!"

I shouted as the door to our training room burst open and a series of attacks rained down on us from an unknown assailant.

I quickly recovered from the surprise.

"Tsk, who are you? Stop disturbing Alli and me while we're talking!"

"WATER BALL NOW!"

"YEAH RIGHT, DISTURBING US?

WE'RE BUSY!"

"WIND TORNADO NOW!"

Alli and Sandra shouted and unleashed their rune skills. Those two girls always get so worked up.

"Dust!"

I called out to Dustine as the ground beneath us began to tremble.

I couldn't sense if it was a Dark Rune or what, so I focused on feeling the ground.

"He said to cut him down."

"Legend warrior sword!"

I whispered, and two blades emerged from my hands, the most powerful sword of the warriors.

I was ready to fight back as the smoke grew thick from the continuous explosions of their runes.

Then suddenly...

"KKK(KKKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYHYYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH................."

Both girls screamed, alarming Dustine and me.

"Ugh, this smoke is so thick..."

I muttered in annoyance.

"SANDRA!"

"ALLI!"

Dustine shouted.

Only Alli could dispel such thick smoke.

I was confused. Why wasn't she clearing the smoke? And why did it suddenly go quiet?

I sensed their presence, but there was someone else too. I felt a familiar presence...

Wait, is that...

"(O______________O)"

"Dust, it's..."

"Kkkkkkyyyaaaahhhhh!"

"AIRAHHHH!..."

We heard Alkiat's loud scream.

Suddenly, the thick smoke vanished, revealing three girls hugging each other.

"Tsk, Aira," I muttered, shaking my head as we approached Dustine and the three girls. Another noisy one had arrived.

"Hello boys, surprise! You were so busy chatting that you didn't notice me coming. Bad, huh?"

"You're always like that, Aira."

"Of course, Lian. I wouldn't be Aira the Great if I wasn't."

"Whatever," I said.

"I'm done with my mission, so let's have some fun!"

She said happily.

"Yeah, but what about Ice?"

Sandra said, putting her arm around Aira, who was now sandwiched between the two girls.

"Ice..."

Aira suddenly exclaimed, closing her eyes and massaging her temples.

"Aira, are you okay?"

Alli asked, concerned.

We were startled when she opened her eyes. Her normally gray eyes were now pure white.

"Don't tell me she's seeing the future," Alli said.

"It's possible. It's one of her special abilities," Dustine said.

"They're right. We've known Aira for a long time, and this is one of her abilities."

I watched her closely. The crescent moon symbol on her forehead, a symbol of her half-goddess status, glowed faintly.

"Ice might die. He's so connected to the moon..."

"(O______________O)"

"BLAG

"AIRAH..."

..Certainly! Here's the English translation of the provided text:

Ice PzoV

* I don't know why I keep coming back to this Moon crystal forest.

* But there's an etching on that... I always want to see her.

* I really don't know what is happening to myself. All I want is to see her, even if it's from afar.

* I also don't want to be called back to royalty because of the vision Aira saw. Yeah, it's been a few days since Aira returned and she saw the vision about the moon hime where I might die.

* But I'm sure this woman standing in front of me is not the moon hime.

* We become friends.

* In the days that I kept coming back here, to the stream where I first saw her, I found her again.

* It's strange that when I came back here, it felt like she knew I would come back. But maybe it's just in my mind.

* How many times do I need to tell you, staring is rude.

* Your name is Sabrina but your voice is as cold as ice.

* Tsk, whatever... duh.

* I smiled as she rolled out her mat.

* What are you doing here anyway? Huh? You're needed more at the academy than me.

* I know, but the royalty is there. There are many more of them there, and you're here alone.

* Ice, you know I can take care of myself.

* I know, Sabrina, that you are a powerful runner, but the moon hime... she's more powerful than us.

* You know, Ice, my life is here.

* She said that and walked towards me, then sat down, so I followed her. I don't know how we became friends. This woman is so stubborn. I've said I can't stand it, but I'll do it for her. No, I haven't even seen her full face, it's covered by a golden cloth. She's so mysterious... tsk.

* Can't you really leave this forest and just come with me to the crystal academy?

* Not yet, Ice. I'm one of the guardians of this forest. I can only go with you to the Academy if Mellisian asks and orders me to go to the Academy.

* She said that while making small water balls in the air with a wave of her hand.

* If Ms. Mellisian is the one who will send you to the academy, you will go?

* Yup, I'll obey her.

* If that's the case, I should probably ask Ms. Mellisian.

* Duh, you can't do that. Remember you told me you're selfish like that. I'm the only one who talks to you.

* Tsk, yeah, I still remember that.

* But it's for you anyway.

* So I'll do it even if they scold me.

* I said,

* Whatever.

She said, and for a moment, we were enveloped in silence. I just stared at her. When she spoke again and looked at me seriously, she said, "Ice, don't try to bother Mellisian because you can't force her." That's why I live in this world to protect this Crystal Forest, you know that. But there's something you don't know. She said and looked into my eyes. "What is it, Sabrina?" I asked. "Ice, I am the guardian of the Moon Princess." My eyes widened slowly at her revelation, but I was still confused about how calm she was. If you're really the guardian of the Moon Princess, why aren't you with her?" I asked. "Ice, I'm always with her, always," she said. "But I broke a rule. I went to the human world, something that has long been forbidden to us guardians. So I was punished. I was left alone in this forest. And the Moon Princess is also not here. She's with the other guardians in the hidden moon forest." Something that others don't know is that this powerful forest has been turned into a prison for a guardian. That's why I can't leave this forest. Even though this forest is my prison, I'm still its guardian, so I can't abandon it. I don't know how to react to what she said. I was stunned by everything I learned. I felt sorry for her. How lonely her life must be here, all alone... The only thing I could do was hug her. "From now on, you won't be alone anymore, Sabrina. I'm here. I won't leave you here anymore," I whispered softly to her, though she didn't seem to like it. "Ouch! Why did you have to hit me?" she said. "Mr. Ice, you can't stay here because people like you, if they stay too long, the forest will consume their rune. The protection I gave you won't last long." "Tsk," she said. "Sigh, she changes her mood so quickly." I just scratched the back of my neck. At least I know a little more about her now. Ace Sabtina Himr's POV: "I'm sorry, Ice, but I had to lie to you," I whispered to myself. I stood up. "Let's go," I said. "Where?" He asked. "I'll take you to the Academy." "What? I thought you were going to leave here?" "Yup, it's forbidden, but I'm a rule breaker, Ice. I won't stay long. Introduce me to your friends too." His eyes widened as he approached me. You could tell he was surprised. Haha. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, don't you want to?" "Of course not, let's go," he said and even took the lead in walking. But I held his wrist, causing him to stop and look at me. "They can't see me like that," I said. "Only you can see my true eye and hair color." I added, and instead of surprise in his eyes, I saw a suppressed smile. "Tsk, this guy is really crazy." Slowly, the light surrounding Sabrina faded, and I was almost stunned by the beauty of her green eyes and ash-gray hair. The golden cloth was still covering half of her face, but she slowly removed it. Until she finally removed the veil from her face. She was incredibly beautiful. I couldn't help but stare at her. I can't describe her beauty. Rose-colored lips, expressive eyes... she looked like an angel. You'd just be stunned by her beauty. "Tsk, Ice, I know I'm beautiful, but you really have to stare like that? Tsk, let's go to the Crystal Academy already," she said and grabbed my hand to teleport to where my friends were. But I was greatly surprised by what greeted us. "AHHHHHHH!.

"DUSTINE!"
