CHAPTER 114: HOME (The End 1)

Before Shiroi returned to Earth, he stopped somewhere. The place has a beautiful lake and the water was not clear but colourful. Each minute, it will change into a different colour. Shiroi brought up a bottle glass and filled it with the water of the lake.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do with that Eternal Water?" Asked someone who suddenly appeared behind him.

Shiroi looked back. "Halifer..." He called the name of the angel.

Halifer was the guardian of this lake. He has sleepy green eyes and wild grey hair that looks like he has just gotten up from his bed.

"My wife is a human. She will be your future queen someday." Shiroi explained straightforwardly.

Halifer's sleepy eyes awoke and his eyebrows rose in surprise at the announcement.

"Your Majesty, are you aware that there would be a problem with allowing a human to live as immortal? It might cause chaos for you later." He sounded worried.

Eternal Water just like the Eternal Flame was a special substance. Anyone who drinks the Eternal Water will have an immortal body and they will stop ageing at the time they drink it. Another advantage to it was they would be like the angels that can recover if they were killed multiple times or lost their limbs.

But, there was a difference. The angels and the special beings can still die if their important hearts were crushed or destroyed. But the immortal would not. The Eternal Water was not effective on the angels or the special beings who drank them because they already had immortal bodies.

Shiroi knows the consequences of turning a human into an immortal being. He nodded at Halifer.

"Yes, I understand but I only wanted her as my queen, no other," Shiroi told him seriously.

Halifer went silent for a long time before he let out a heavy groan. He realises that he can't change Shiroi's mind. He slowly smiled afterwards.

"As your wish, Your Majesty. Since your queen is a human, this might help her if she gets in danger from the other angels who don't like her later." He made a rainbow marble appear in his hands.

He approached Shiroi and put the rainbow marble into the bottle of Eternal Water that was held by Shiroi. The rainbow marbles turn to powder before dissolving in the Eternal Water. Soon after, the colours of the water changed to colourless and many sparkles of lights appeared in it.

Shiroi frowned at his actions. "Halifer, how did you have this God Pill? I thought only Zarikei and Junira have it?"

Halifer grinned. "I didn't possess it before. This was a gift from both Majesties for your future queen."

Shiroi was surprised to hear that. His mouth also was opened slightly.

"Haha. Your Majesty, you can't hide your lover from both Majesties. They had already known about it for a very long time. They're the ones who told me to give this God Pill to you if you come here. It seems they were very sure that you would choose a human to be our queen someday."

Shiroi looked disbelieving. He could have never thought that Zarikei and Junira would help him. After thinking about it for a long time, his heart was relieved to know that Zarikei and Junira supported his relationship with Aries. He apparently needs to meet them first before going down to Earth.

"Thank you, Halifer!" He said while making the bottle disappear into his storage dimension.

"You're welcome, Your Majesty. Hope you live happily with your future queen forever." Halifer replied while bowing respectfully to him.

Shiroi nodded at him before he disappeared from the lake. He went to the palace belonging to Zarikei and Junira next. They have already concluded the trial in the palace hall.

As for Dark Chronos, he doesn't know what happened to him. But Revioryx has been returned to the Hell realm. His body will remain inside the sealed boxes and stored in different places and levels to ensure he can never be in complete form anymore.

"Hey, I don't think you're needed here. Go back to Earth again."

Zarikei appeared as soon as Shiroi took a step up the stairs to enter the palace building. He appeared directly in front of Shiroi. Shiroi raised his eyebrows at Zarikei's mood which seemed to be angry with him.

"Zarikei, are you mad at me? Because I haven't stayed here for a while? Or because you have to continue the task of solving the angel's problem after we left before?" He guessed the reasons why Zarikei was angry.

"Yeah! Since you know it, then scram!" Zarikei barked at him.

"Heh! You're not even angry. If you are, the sky above us would have turned red and emitted a fire like your mood right now. By the way, thank you for the wedding gift. I really appreciate it."

Zarikei stared at him for a long time before he laughed out loud.

"Ah... You know my deception. It's not fun like this because you're not afraid of me." He looked sad.

"Yes. And by the way, what happened to Chronos? What did you do to him?" Kairi did not forget this angel since he was important to Dark Reammut.

"Him? Since he had become a fallen and was involved in Revioryx's evil scheme, I and Junira agree to punish him by turning him into a mortal. This is the only mercy we can give him since he did help to capture Revioryx in the end and because he was the formal God of Darkness and Calamity."

"But, he becomes a fallen because he was betrayed. Didn't you find them yet?" Kairi felt injustice for Dark Chronos.

"We are still investigating. If the reason for him becoming a fallen was from these beings' evil scheme and mistreatment, then we will call for another trial for him. For now, Chronos will just stay wherever he is right now."

"Hope they got what they deserve. I still believe Chronos is innocent."

"Yeah, yeah. Now, leave us! Shoo!" Zarikei narrowed his eyes at Kairi.

His expression looked exhausted and Kairi could understand it. He too has heavy responsibility like Zarikei and Junira were.

"Zarikei, Kiroki and I will just be on Earth for a few more years. Hopefully, you and Junira can handle everyone just for a little more time."

"I know that! And after you guys return, I will dump all my tasks on you two! Wait, that still doesn't sound fair! How can you guys have your fun while I'm doing my work with Junira! I want to be alone with her too…" Zarikei complained.

A moment later, an idea came up in his mind.

"Oh, I got an idea! Hehehe... Shiroi, you're not going to be reborn as a human again, right?"

Shiroi felt uneasy. "No. I'm staying as I am now. Why?"

"Hehehe..." Zarikei disappeared with his creepy laugh.

Shiroi couldn't help shuddering. It seems Zarikei was planning something for him. Well, let's just face it when it comes later. He doesn't need to meet Junira since he had met Zarikei. So, he was ready to go down to Earth again.

His chest without a heart in it was beating with joy because he would meet with everyone again. At the same time, he figured out what he needed to do with his dead human body. He cannot allow the body to be buried. That was his body and he would take care of it himself.

On his way to the mortal portal, in Econia…

All the Bright Star users including Dark Undria, Dark Markia, Angelote, Aries' parents and Rafael gathered in the hall. Kairi's body was placed in a flowery glass. Aries was sobbing beside it with her parents hugging her from each side.

She regained consciousness an hour later and realised everything was not a dream but a reality she needed to face. Currently, she was touching Kairi's face gently. She was a little surprised because the body was still warm. It should have been cold by now.

"Kairi..." She thought with tears falling down her cheeks again.

She tried so hard to restrain herself from sobbing in front of everyone again but it was so hard not to cry. Outside, the residents of Dorothia and Antonia feel the loss of Syarantonia's king. Everyone had a sad expression and some were crying in grief for his loss.

Rafael, who stood next to Rafiz, had red eyes. He too was saddened by Kairi's death. He could hear his son beside him sniffing hard but didn't let a tear fall from his eyes.

Suddenly, all of them were startled by a powerful presence inside the hall. Their bodies were pressured by it. One by one fall to the floor in a sitting position. Anxious feelings cover them because they don't know whether the owner of that power was their enemy or their friend.

Time ticked by until they saw a light appear above them. A man emerged from the light with his wings slowly unfolded behind him. They instantly looked up at him and took a deep breath after seeing his beautiful appearance.

"Oops! Sorry! I forgot my power is too strong for you guys!" He looked worriedly at them before enclosing his powerful presence inside him.

Everyone there was finally able to breathe comfortably again and all stood up once more. Aries and Rafiz took a moment to look at him for a very long time. They seem to have seen him before but have forgotten where. It was until he landed and smiled gently at them that both immediately realised who he was.

"Kairi?" Both said his name at the same time.

Huh? What?

Everyone there looked dumbfounded. They thought their ears were hearing the wrong thing. But, Rafiz and Aries already ran to him. Rafiz hugs him tightly first before he lets go and lets Aries hug him next.

Kairi too hugs them with happiness. It seems both of them still remember his angel appearance. Rafiz remembers from the memory that Ziphoteninx and Kironinx showed them. As for Aries, he already saw her memories where she was chatting with his soul in his deep consciousness.

"You really came back? You scared us so much!" Rafiz smacked one of his shoulders.

"Sorry… I did want to return after capturing Revioryx but it seems I exhausted all my power and it killed my human body." Kairi explained.

"Sobs… You, You… Won't… Leave, right…?" Aries asked with tears flowing down.

Kairi was still hugging her and didn't let go. He shakes his head and looks at her lovingly.

"No. And I am no longer a human anymore. But I will stay with you forever from now on." He told her before he kissed her lips quickly.

He still has some business and that was… Explaining about his true identity to everyone. They all were surprised after listening to his, Aries and Rafiz's chatting. They couldn't believe their eyes and ears at all.

Kairi was still alive! But he is not human?!

Well, they can see he has wings. That explains one thing already. They watch Kairi walk to his human body and a bright light appears that makes them have to close their eyes. When the light was gone, they saw him again.

The human body was gone and the angel's appearance now looked like his human self. However, his white hair and yellow eyes had changed back to his human original colour, red. Then, he turned to them with a big smile.

"I'm home… And starting today, we have a lot of work to do. But, let's heal you all first." Once he said them, all of the power users were healed and their body was cleaned off.

If there were a cut anywhere to their attires, it was patched up again in complete new by Kairi's power.

"Alright! Even if Revioryx was gone now, his underlings were still around. Come on, let's clean all of them up." He told them with an order.

"Yes, Your Majesty!!!"
