The Forbidden Forest

Turning Back

Deimos stopped for a while and let Celyn to satisfy her stomach before he asked something that he supposed to receive any answered from Celyn. "Ayem!, Can I ask you something?" Deimos asked sitting at the front of Celyn. Celyn slowly stared at the covered face of Deimos and wandering replied. "What's that?"Celyn discontinued what she doing and let the man at the front of her who where sitting at the edge of the long table to speak what he wanted to say. "Are you a witch? fairy? Or a magical creatures of the another world?" Deimos asked again staring at Celyn without looking at Celyn's face directly. Celyn was shocked as she heard that kind of questions. "I'm not witch. I'm not fairy, and mostly I'm not a creatures that came from the another world!" Celyn said seemed like she slightly making a annoying words toward Deimos.

Deimos billowed his eyebrows and said, "and if you are not witch or a fairy, who are you?" Deimos asked again. Celyn immedietly stood that made Deimos to stared at her. She waved her hands and steps forward to turn her body. Deimos waited Celyn to finish what she doing but after she making that funny movement, she smiled and said. "I'm a human! See." Celyn uttered while standing firmly. As she added she laid her hands and said, "I have no power like you and also I have no ability like how you did."

Deimos smiled briefly as he heard that kind of explanation form Celyn. He know that there were no human that could stay for too long inside the world that full of cruelty and power. However, he kept on silent and he slowly sat on the wooden chair and thought about the words that Celyn told him. He know that Celyn have a hidden special ability that running on her veins. Deimos felt something familiar every time that he looked at Celyn. "Blood of Desdemonian blood line." Deimos muttered as he felt that inner most power that Celyn have.

Celyn saw how sharped the eyes of Deimos on her. She slowly sat and asked for sudden. "Ahmmmm, we are too long together, I eat a lot and drink too much, bu-but I don't know who you are?" Celyn asked. Deimos slowly hold the edge of his hood and took them off. In the dim light and the sparked of the candle that touched his body, his face was slowly appeared as he get off his hood. Celyn glanced at Deimos and waited the time that she could see the entire face that Deimos hids behind his hood. Celyn supposed that she could see the face of that man, but suddenly, she was suprised as she saw the thing that made her felt wandered.

Deimos stooped on the ground and he get off his hood while saying, "I'm Deimos, you are so lucky for wishing to remove the hood I wearing to see my face without any difficulty." Deimos said while slowly stared at Celyn as he finally removed the hood he wearing. As he added, his face appeared but the way he did made Celyn to feel curious. "But, you are not allowed to see my eyes because the only woman that may see it is the woman I never see again. I promised that I will never let my eyes to see by someone also like a girl like you." Deimos added while looked at Celyn directly.

Celyn was suprised because instead a face, she saw a face covered by the black metal mask that protected the halves of his face except the mouth. Celyn saw the skin of Deimos and she was suprised because even the hundred years were passed, according to the story of Deimos, he still shown the teenage skin that made him to look like a strong man. Celyn did not expected that even at the old age that Deimos have, he shown the appearance of being a army of the Halloxian.

To jump a the another conversation between them, Celyn looked around and asked. "Deimos, I think I have no rights to ask, but, who is that girl?" Deimos suddenly become timid as he heard that kind of question from Celyn."why you ask that kind of question,young lady?" Deimos replied. Celyn shrugged her shoulder and uttered."I ask that because you are such a good man willing to love a woman that left you."

Deimos smiled while slowly standing. After he stood, he made a couple of steps and walked around while touching the half moon shape ring that he wearing. "You know, not every person left us are not for us. Sometimes, they left us because the needed to be more than enough as they come back. Every pain have a purpose, all you gonna do is to see it's worth."

Celyn suddenly become silent, she analyzed every words that Deimos said and when she picked up every thing he wanted to convey, she asked again. "Ahmmm, is that called destiny?" Deimos suddenly stopped walking around and turned his head to stare at Celyn innocent face. "You are right. The destiny help us to be prepared and to handle every situation that happened on us. In this place, the only thing how to survive is to focused yourself finding the end line of every destiny. If you reach the destiny that I told you right now, you will understand the meaning of love and what is the reward of your hardship in life that waiting you." Deimos calmly said. He walked toward the window and stared at the bluish moon. He saw something that remind him the early childhood as he encountered the young lady who loves asking such a many things. Suddenly, Deimos felt that the moon sitting, and he know that Celyn needed to go back to the place were she needed to do what was the right thing. "Anyway...Ayem, this time you needed to go back to the place where you belong." Deimos said because he wanted to make Celyn to realize that she needed to do her written destiny for the sake of her lineage. Even Deimos helped Luna before, he know the Venom was a enemy as he also encountered the young prince of Dark Severous hundreds years ago . And as he heard the story that Celyn told about the another prince that rised again, he wanted Celyn to know about herself to find out that the enemy was not the Hallox but Venom.
