Fallen (ENGLISH)

Chapter Five: Mount Olympus

Two thousand years have passed but Noel can't forget his best friend Serapina. It feels like he's guilty because of what he did to his best friend. And in the night when the full moon has come Noel dreamed about the death of Rosette, his best friend and it feels like his guilt was eating him. Since Noel's mind is having a battle if he's guilty or not because of what he did to Rosette. Noel chose to clear his mind by flying in a wide sky with a serious looked plastered to his face. With that, he spread his white wings then fly into the sky. When Noel is already in the sky, something caught his attention. It was Lily who was looking at the Valley of Death while her tears are flowing in her eyes. Since Noel was curious he lands where Lily is. And then, Noel saw how Lily is flustered when she saw him. Even though Noel knows the reason why Lily is in the Valley of Death he still chose to ask her.

"Lily, why are you here in Valley of Death?" Noel asked Lily.

"It's nothing, Leader. I just missed my sister!" Lily said while crying.

Noel got silent for a moment because of what he heard from Lily. Even though Noel denied the fact to himself that he's innocent he can't help to feel guilty since he's the one who made that punishment among them. "I-I see," Noel said while hesitating.

"Are you okay, Leader? You looked scared," Lily said while creasing her eyebrows.

"I'm okay. I need to go!" Noel said in a hurry.

After that, Noel spread his white wings again then flies at the blue sky while his mind is full of chaos because of his guilt. Then, Lily just creased her eyebrows because she's confused about Noel's action. Since Noel's mind filled with thoughts about her best friend, Rosette, he didn't notice that the sun is already setting down. So, Noel decided to land at Arena since he saw Magdalene walking secretly towards the room of one warrior. All of a sudden Noel got confused since he didn't know the reason why Magdalene is in the Arena.

"What is she doing here at the Arena?" Noel asked himself.

Since he's confused Noel follow Magdalene in a room of one of their warrior. All of a sudden Noel froze where he stands because of what he saw inside the room. Noel didn't expect that he saw Magdalene making out with Franko, while the other warrior is just comfortably sitting on the sofa watching them with lust on his eye. Since Noel can't stand what he saw he silently leaves the place while holding his chest because of the pain he felt. The truth is, Noel can't accept the fact that Magdalene is having a lover. But, what Noel can't accept the most is it feels like Magdalene is like a flirty girl.

"I didn't know that Magdalene is that kind of girl!" Noel said with a sad smile.

When Noel got outside of the Arena, he flies faster to the sky with tears in his eyes. He can't understand why he felt sad because of what he saw. Maybe because he is attracted to Magdalene that's why he was hurting. When Noel arrives at their Temple he saw one of his servants running towards him. And Noel can't help himself to get confused since he saw the fear in his servant's eyes. With that, Noel can't deny that he felt uncomfortable all of a sudden because of the expression that plastered in his servant's eyes.

"Leader, they are here! And, they're looking for you!" Gina said to Noel.

"What? I thought they will arrive on Monday morning? But, it's still Saturday!" Noel said in a panic.

"I don't know, Leader. And they look mad at something."

Noel took a deep breath before answering Gina. "Okay. You may go now, Gina. I will handle this matter."

With that Gina bow her head to him before leaving to continue her works. While Noel walks towards the room where his visitors are. And when Noel opens the door, he immediately bows his head to the person who looked mad at him. Then, Noel looked at his two servants and order them to leave the room so, he and his visitors can talk in private. When the servants are gone Noel looked at his visitors and walks towards them.

"Good day, Elder. What's brought you here at the Temple? I thought the three of you will arrive on Monday morning?" Noel asked with a confused look.

"There's nothing good today! We're here because we heard the news about Rosette! What did you do to her?" Elder Primo asked with a furious look.

Noel got confused because of what he heard. And all of a sudden he felt scared because of the expression plastered on the face of Elder Primo. While the two Elders are also disappointed in him. Even though two thousand years have passed, Noel realized that this is the first time that their Elders heard about the death of Rosette. But, Noel can't understand the person who delivered the news about Rosette's death to their Elders. With that, Noel feels there's still a traitor to their Kingdom.

"I don't understand you, Elder Primo? What about her?" Noel asked while creasing his eyebrows.

"Hahaha!" Elder Primo laughed sarcastically while looking at Noel. "You have the guts to ask me that! I'm asking you, what did you do to her? Why I didn't see her in the Temple?"

"About that Elder, Rosette was already dead two thousand years ago," Noel said with confidence.

Noel was shocked when he saw the three Elders in front of him burst into tears. With that, Noel didn't know what to do since he can't understand why the three Elders cries all of a sudden. Since Noel is concerned with the health of Elder Primo he gently pats the back of the old man in from of him.

"Elder Primo, I'm sorry to burst you for being emotional, but I can't understand why the three of you are crying because of what I said?" Noel said with a confused look.

Instead of answering him, Elder Primo ask him a question that he didn't know how to answer. "What is the cause of her death? Is she die while fighting and protecting our Kingdom?"

"No. Rosette died not because of protecting our Kingdom," Noel said calmly.

"Then, what is the cause of her death?" Elder Sebastian asked Noel.

Noel was going to answer when Elder Leonard speak while still crying. "Is Rosette died protecting our Kingdom or she met her death because of what you did!?"

"What do you mean, Elder Leonard? I can't understand you. Rosette died because she is a traitor to our Kingdom. If not for Magdalene, I will not know that Rosette was a traitor!" Noel said with confidence.

"And you chose to believe that girl over Rosette your best friend!" Elder Primo said with a furious look.

"That's because Magdalene has a piece of evidence for what Rosette did to our Kingdom!" Noel explained to the Elders.

Before answering him again, Elder Leonard wipes his tears and looked at Noel. "Did you hear the explanation of Rosette?"

Once again, Noel got silent because he's guilty of not listening to Rosette's explanation. "N-No, Elder Leonard. I just didn't listen to her explanation since the evidence is in her bag. So, I conclude that she's a traitor to our Kingdom that needs to dispose of," Noel whispered in front of the Elders.

"Just because of a piece of evidence found in her bag you punished her to death! Are you out of your mind, Noel?" Elder Primo said with an irritated expression plastered on his face.

"I'm sorry, Elder Primo. I just want our Kingdom to be peaceful."

Instead of answering him, Elder Primo just slap Noel's face causing him to be shocked. Even though Noel was a bit angry he decided to calm himself since he respected their Elders. After lecturing him because of what he did to Rosette, their Elders decided to leave immediately to the Temple since they are disappointed in Noel's leadership. The truth is the Elders already knew what happened to Rosette but they chose to ask Noel since they want to know his reason for punishing Rosette. But, the Elders can't help their selves to feel disappointed in Noel because of his rush decision. It's just that they lose one of their best warriors because of the tragedy that happened in the past. Aside from that, the three Elders were mad at him because they feel that Noel was already blinded by his love for Magdalene. And for the Elders, they cared for Rosette as if she's their granddaughter. And they didn't believe that Rosette was a traitor to their Kingdom because they know that she's a kind-hearted woman.

"I don't know your reason for punishing Rosette because of one mistake. But, I hope you didn't regret it at the end," Elder Primo said, then he sighed.

"I will not regret it in the end! Mark my words, Elders!"

"I hope you will not cause being blind to love is not good for you!" Elder Leonard said with a disappointed look plastered on his face.

After that, the three Elders bid goodbye to Noel who is now silent because of what he heard. Noel didn't know what to do since he felt uncomfortable because of the sudden visits of the three Elders. While the three Elders turn their back to Noel with a disappointed look on their face.

"Thank God! I thought you're not gonna open your eyes, son!" Shiela said to Gabriel, her son.

"Hahaha!" Gabriel laughed softly before answering his parents. "Don't worry about me, mommy, and daddy."

"How can I not be worried at you? Just be thankful at Serapina because of her you're still alive now!" Shiela said while looking at his son.

All of a sudden Gabriel immediately blush because of the name of a certain person. Gabriel didn't know what to react because he felt shy in front of his parents. Instead of teasing him his parents just smile while looking at their son who was now safe in danger.

"Where is she?" Gabriel ask his mother.

"Probably, she's in the school right now. And to tell you the truth, you've been asleep for one week," Lion said to Gabriel.

With a wide eye, Gabriel looks at his parents because he didn't expect that he was sleeping for long. But, there's a hatred in his heart since he felt that he needs to take revenge on the person who was shot him. Even though, Gabriel was mad he was thankful to God because his life was saved. Since he's awake now, Gabriel decided to thank Serapina for saving him.

"I should thank her for saving me," Gabriel said to himself.
