THE CURSED ONE - THE BOY WHO CHALLENGE DESTINY

Unknown World - 2

Jin was silent in amazement, he waiting for The Queen to continuing her story.

“That man took back all the areas that we had claimed in your world one by one, all by himself. We started to pull back our armies to the portal and returned to our homeland, Sura world, but it wasn’t enough for him. He kept chased us until finally, he found about the portal deep inside the forest. We tried our best to avoid him entering the portal, but none of our troops able to take him down. That time our highest generals Bohd’ah tried to challenge him, Bohd’ah was one of the strongest of our kind, but he was nothing compared to the mighty power that he possessed. He killed Bohd’ah in an easy fight and then he entered our homeland, Sura. We prepared our full power armies in front of the portal, waiting for his arrival. When he finally entered this land, our ruler at the time asked him to leave and threatened him if he didn’t want to get out from this land, and this was another mistake from our ancestors. They thought that no one can defeat our full-power armies who consist of more than a million skilled warriors. But that man didn’t afraid at all even after he saw the massive numbers of our warriors in front of him.” The Queen added.

She stopped her story for a moment as he walked and opens the curtain and the window, Jin staggered after seeing the scenery outside the window, a very vast and beautiful green garden with trees and flowers that he never saw before, some of the flowers looks glows in purple color he imagines if it was in the night the view will be much more staggering.

“The biggest battle in our world history was unavoidable, thousands of our warriors started to attack first, that man draws his sword and he easily killed all of them with one single swing of his sword. Many of us were shocked by what we saw, we never thought that the power gap between us and that man was very huge, but our pride stopped us from surrender. We kept sending hundreds of thousands of our warriors to fight him and every time ended with that man slaughtered them all. Just in a matter of hours, we have lost over 400.000 warriors and because of this, we are forced to admit our loss and beg him for mercy. We finally take out our pride and came to meet him for discussing an agreement, and he agreed to sit and talk with us. We ask him to come to this palace and he agreed but with one condition, he wanted to talk only with the Queen, no one else. As we didn’t have many options, we accepted the condition that he requested. During the discussion, he asked The Queen not to enter the human's world again and not to harm any human again forever, if his request was granted he will leave our world, and even more, he promised to give us his help when in the future our world facing any threat, but if we didn’t grant his request, he threatened to obliterate our entire army. The Queen finally granted that man request, it’s actually more like forced to grant the request as she didn’t have any other option. Before that man left this place, he raised a spell barrier in front of the portal, it was1000 path's illusion barrier, an ancient barrier that impossible to pass through from the outside or the inside. Everyone who tried to pass through the barrier will get lost in another realm for eternity, so many of us tried to pass the barrier and no one ever returned. Until now none of us stepped again in your world.” The Queen finished her story.

Jin noticing something strange in The Queen's story and he decided to ask her a question.

“I am sorry, Queen Aghs'tya, at first you said that your ancestor who opened the portal and fought that man, but I feel if it was you who was in the battle that time. Am I right?” Jin asked.

The Queen smiled again, “I’m impressed because you can figure it out easily. Yes, I was The Queen who fought that man and made hundreds of thousands of my warriors get killed. I am sorry, Jin, I didn’t mean to trick you, but I afraid if you wouldn’t believe me if I said the truth,” She said, “Our life span was different with your kind, Jin, we can live for more than 3000 years, and right now my age was 2215 years old.”

“You and your kind must have a strong hatred towards humans like me because of that war, why you didn’t hate me? Even you wanted to help me? I don’t understand this.” Jin asked.

“Yes indeed, our hatred towards humans especially to that man was very strong, we desperately wanted to take revenge on him, but after tried so many times we never manage to break through the barrier, and slowly over time we manage to make a peace with ourselves. We know if that man had died a long time ago as a human life span wasn’t too long, so we think it was unnecessary to keep that hatred inside. We also understand that the one who triggered the incidents was us, not the humans, and we had killed countless humans either. But there will always be someone who still kept their hatred inside, like a few of our high-ranked generals still keeping that hatred even after a thousand years, that’s why I had to keep my conversation with you secretive, Jin.” The Queen said.

Jin fascinated with the story, especially with the power of that man who able to single-handedly challenge the entire Sura’s armies, now he wanted to know who that man was.

“Did you know who that man's name was, Queen Aghs'tya?” Jin asked.

“Yes, certainly, we write his name in our history book, we taught our kids about him in our schools and everyone in this land knows his name, His name was Han Bi Hun.”

Jin now admiring Han Bi Hun, he wanted to become as strong as him so he can protect anyone especially Youra.

“What was the relation of the story with me?” Jin curiously asked.

“First, because I feel your energy flow in your body was similar to Han Bi Hun’s body, the way your energy moved inside your body wasn’t a normal one, although your energy was very weak right now I still can feel it. You called it Black Devils Curse, right?” She asked.

Jin nodded his head. He guessed that The Queen knows about the Black Devils Curse when she read his mind previously.

“Unfortunately I don’t know more about Black Devils Curse because the way our energy moves inside our body was very different from yours, but what I can tell you is that you still have the chance to live over 15 years old, Han Bi Hun was the ocular proof. Even he can gain such unbelievable power, what you need to do is to find how Han Bi Hun was able to overcome his curse inside his body. I believe he has a legacy that is hidden somewhere in your world to overcome the curse, you just need to find it.” She continued.

Jin feels it won’t be that easy to find Han Bi Hun’s legacy in such a big world, he doesn’t know where to start either. But at least now he knows that he can live longer, that’s enough for him right now.

“Second was because of a prophecy,” The Queen continued her answers, “A few years ago our oldest elder, Jar’th D’an, who has lived over than 4000 years, on the brink of her death she was said about her dream, she had experienced the same dream for several times in her sleep. In that dream, she saw an apocalypse in our world that can wipe out us from existence. Inside the chaotic world, one human arises and saved us all, but she couldn’t recognize who that human was as she never saw him before. When you came to our land, some of us believe that you were the one in the prophecy, but many others didn’t believe because you were too young and too weak. I choose to stand on the side who believe that you may become the one in that prophecy, but if you weren’t the one, at least we want to become your friends with hope one day you can remember us and you will become the path to open relation between us and humans. I know many of our high-rank generals against my decision, but I want to bet on you as you were the only human that able to enter our land since Han Bi Hun’s time.” The Queen finished her story.

Jin now understands why they treated him as a special guest, but he didn’t know how to help them, he only a weak kid right now.

“I don’t know whether I can help you or not, Queen Aghs'tya, as you said I just a weak kid.” Jin said.

“We are religious beings as we believed in God, just like your world. I personally believed that your arrival in our land was not a mere coincidence but it was the hand of God who leads you all the way through here, so I would like to help you come back to your world.” The Queen replied.

“Thank you for trusting me, even I don’t know how to pay your kindness yet, but I will try to pay it later,” Jin said, “How to send me back to my world? You said if no one was able to get out from the 1000 path illusion barrier?”

“For that matter, you don’t have to worry, I have another way to send you back, and only I who know the way.” The Queen replied.

She then took out a gem which glows in green light.

“This is a space bending gem, I get it personally from Han Bi Hun as a present. This gem can make you instantly teleported to the place of the person that you think about, but it can only be used 1 time. At first this gem was intended to use by me to contact Han Bi Hun when I or this land were in trouble, but until now we had lived in peaceful world so I never used it to contact Han Bi Hun.” The Queen said.

She gave the gem to Jin and he took it happily because with this gem he can return back to his world.
