Pure Blood

"What have you done?" asked King Roderick, just as Seraphina was standing in front of him.




"Do what?" Seraphina stared at her father's face which looked much colder than before.




King Roderick knew exactly what was going on in Evangelia. The great storm that struck did not happen by itself, but rather the mighty power of the pure blood descendants of the Lords of Evangelia.




"If you don't say it, then I'll make you admit it!"




"I didn't do anything, really-" Seraphina was crying, the look in those scary eyes scared her. Meanwhile, no one dared to defend her, including her mother, Queen Alexandra who was just frozen in place.




"This storm, you did it, didn't you?"




"Ah...that-" she remembered Xavier and what had happened in Xavier's room before Diana came and brought her before the king.




Xavier's eyes suddenly changed, his body was stiff and cold as ice, it was a strange thing that had never happened before.




Nathania was unable to answer, she did not know what was happening out there and what damage was happening that made the king look so angry.




"Roderick, calm down! We don't know what kind of strength Nathan has. But looking at what happened, you can be sure that his strength has started to show and this could be much more terrifying than what you have. Given that he is only nine years old and the storm he has created until this big. You must not be careless in handling it," said Queen Mother Margaritha.




"I didn't know before I saw him do it in person,"




"But, this is not the right time and you can see that Nathan is not in control yet!"




"I understand, Mother!"

One week passed, the incident that day left Princess Nathania with a high fever. Everything happened in a short time, Prince Samuel's shocking confession, The anger that the king had shown her for the first time and at worst, the terrible power that Nathan had released at that time, a power that he couldn't tell anyone.




"Nathania ..." Nathan's voice was heard. Nathania opened her eyes, Nathan's face was clear.




"Nathan? can you walk?" asked Nathania, who realized Nathan was standing beside her bed.




"Yes, I'm doing well. How are you? Jia said, you have a fever. It makes me very worried,"




"I'm better now, is it okay for you to come to my room? What if you find out?"




"Everyone is sleeping,"




"Is that so? does that mean it's night?"




"Yes, it's almost 12 at night,"




"Is that so? you're not sleeping? aren't you sleepy?" Nathania lifted her head. Somehow her body is much healthier, after days she feels very weak. Seeing Nathan's face really proved to be the most effective medicine to cure her pain.




"I couldn't sleep, I was worried about you. That's why I came to see how you are,"




"I'm fine now, maybe tomorrow I'll be able to run as usual," she said with a smile.




"Then, want to come out for a moment?"




"Want!" said Nathania as she got up from her bed.




Nathan walked to the bedroom window and opened it wide. Nathan took out his right leg and looked back.




"Come on!" said Nathan while stretching out his hand.




"Why through the window? It's on the second floor, we could fall!"




"We're not going on foot, we're going to fly!"




"Fly? how?"




"Take it easy, believe me!" Nathan smiled, the wind blew his beautiful long hair. Nathania looked at her brother who somehow looked like her even more.




Even though they are twins who basically have the same face, but since they have changed places, every time she look at Nathan, it makes Nathania seem to be looking at herself. It was like seeing her reflection in the mirror.




Nathania took Nathan's hand, making her body feel very light. Nathan led Nathania out of the window, their bodies floated in the air.




"Are we really flying? Wow ... how is that possible?" Nathania was amazed. This is the most extraordinary thing she has ever felt.




They flew higher and higher into the night sky filled with millions of stars. Beautiful and sparkling making those sapphire eyes barely blink.




"Great ... this is really great ..." Nathania exclaimed with joy. She looked down, even seen from the sky, the Palace of Sapphires was truly amazing.




"Are you happy?"




"I am very happy, but since when has Nathan been able to do this? Even just holding my hand allows me to float in the air too,"




"I just found out and I immediately tried it,"




"Is that so? Nathan is really great, then we can fly like this all the time?"




"Yes, if I'm fine. We'll fly again every night!"




"Hopefully Nathan will be healthy and be together forever ..." Nathania smiled, her face sparkling like the stars in the sky.




After they had enough and the night wind started to get colder, they returned to the room.




"Really exciting, I feel like flying again!"




"Thank God if you're happy. Then go to sleep now!"




"When I sleep, Nathan sleeps too, right?"




"Yes, I'll sleep after reading a book!"




"What if Nathan just sleeps with me? Read me a story, hasn't Nathan read a lot of good books?"




"Why don't you just read it yourself?"




"That's ... because I'm lazy, hahaha ..."




"All right, I'm going to sleep here. After I read the story, you have to sleep, huh?"




"All right ..." Nathania climbed into bed and immediately lay down. Meanwhile, Nathan took the place beside her while pulling the blankets and covering their bodies.




"Tell a good story!"




"Well, I will tell you about a legend of a goddess named Leanor who came down to earth because she fell in love with a human. But because love between the two is very impossible, making the King of the Gods, Kyvernitis angry to expel his beloved daughter to earth and made her live in misery with the human. Goddess Leanor married her lover, Vasilias and had a son named Arthur. Unable to endure the misery she was experiencing, Goddess Leanor left her husband and young son and returned to the sky, "




When Nathan finished his story, Nathania thought about something about it.




"Why did the goddess leave her husband and young child? doesn't she love them?"




"As a daughter of the King of the Gods, the life that Goddess Leanor lived was very happy. So that the time she suffered continuously while living on earth, made her unable and gave up on her destiny,"




"But, how can a goddess and an ordinary human meet?"




"Goddess Leanor once visited a valley called Kolaida and fell in love with the valley which is said to be the place of the Fairy Kingdom, where people call it  'Neraidas' or creatures that have wings like white birds and they have a very long life,"




"So, Goddess Leanor met her lover in the valley?"




"Yes, at that time Vasilias who wanted to prove the existence of the Neraidas, came to the valley alone and got lost. Goddess Leanor and Vasilias met when they came out of the valley, they realized that they had spent three years, even though they feel like living and lost in the valley for three days."




"Did they meet those fairy humans?"




"Yes, they met and it turns out that the Neraidas are very good creatures,"




"Don't they know that Leanor is a goddess from heaven?"




"The Neraidas know, but Vasilias doesn't. Leanor hides it until they get married,"




"But in the end, she still went back to where she belonged,"




"Yes, that is so!"




"Is that a true story?"




"I don't know, I just read it in a book. But, why aren't you sleeping yet? Didn't you promise me that you would sleep after I finished the story?"




"Hahahaha ... that's right! okay, I'm going to sleep. But Nathan has to sleep too!"




"Okay!" said Nathan while laying down beside Nathania.




"Nathan ..."




"Hum?"




"Today is very nice, I hope that Nathan can stay healthy like now!" Nathania closed her eyes. She hugged Nathan who was sleeping beside her.




Nathan did not answer, his eyes were on the ceiling of the room. Nathania fell asleep with a sweet smile on her face. Nathan turned around, faced Nathania and hugged his sister's body tightly as if she didn't want to let go.




"Nathania, I'm sorry. I love you so much." Nathan was crying. Tears were flowing and he hoped, Nathania could not feel the pain he was feeling.
