The True Winner
Terrias had finally woken up and found himself back at his room in the capital. He was not able to see things clearly but could hear the voices around him. “Its about time you wake up.” As his vision came back to him, he could make out Aikon. “What happened? I don’t remember the last events that have happened… I just remember seeing Seer… landing on something hard… and that’s it.” Aikon smiled and began to walk out of the room. “The others should be back, they just went back to Garner to make the treaty as promised. Manna is still here, I can send her in if you want.” Terrias nodded and then leaned back. He tried and tried, but he still could not seem to remember any more than he had mentioned. “What are you thinking so hard about?” said Manna. Terrias was startled and seemed to hop upwards and felt a sharp pain in his ribs. “Ow…” “Sorry, honey, I didn’t mean to make you hurt yourself.” Terrias looked up at her and smiled. “What is it?” she asked tilting her head. “I’m just glad you’re fine.” Manna smiled and kissed Terrias’ forehead. “We were fortunate I still had the elixirs from the castle and Alessa is excellent at healing magic.” The two stayed quiet for a while then Manna broke the silence, “My 21st birthday is coming up in a month.” Terrias smiled and said, “Let’s get married that day. It will be my gift to you. We’ll spend the whole day together afterwards.” Manna hugged him and said, “It would be perfect.” The others came by momentarily and Terrias was able to stand up. “We have been able to unite all but one continent,” said Valo, “However, with so much going on, we are going to wait 3 years before we go sign peace with Hora.” Manna held Terrias’ hand and said, “More time to spend time together.” Terrias smiled hugged Manna. He did not care that he hurt himself again, but holding her was worth it.
Manna’s birthday came and the two had gotten married as planned. “Manna Aminus-Falles… I like it,” said Manna hugging Terrias. “Now, just like we planned, we can go anywhere you want and we’ll spend the whole day together.” Manna gave it some thought and then said, “The Vivican Garden, it would be so nice to see that valley.” Terrias smiled and the two traveled to the Vivican Garden. The valley was filled with a variety of flowers and precious animals. Nature itself was elegant and prepared for the two newly weds. They sat down and watched the beauty of the garden. Manna lied down on Terrias lap and Terrias stroked her hair gently. “Manna, if I asked you something can you answer me honestly?” Manna nodded. “I have dreams about being Altima and there are times where I totally black out and don’t even remember the last thing I did… I think you know the answer… what’s wrong with me?” Manna got up and sighed, “We were never kidding about you being Altima’s legacy. As a matter of fact, you have confirmed it quite clearly. However, it seems you have more control than you think. As long as the two of you are linked you have nothing to worry about.” Terrias looked up at the sky and smiled. “So I am the one. Feels kind of weird. Its as if me coming here was no accident. Me meeting you was no coincidence. I love you.” The two kissed and stayed in the valley until nightfall.
Three years have passed and many things have changed for the best. The united countries have convinced Hora to sign peace. The unity of the countries have disbanded all clans in the other countries. Vivica’s economy has been restored to the way it had once been since the times of the Serine Knights. The members of the Vivican Capital and its judges have made an order known as the Neo-Serine Knights. Terrias would be the UltimaKnight. Manna would be the GraveKnight. Valo would be the CastKnight. Saharah would be the FrostKnight. Hiita Kurenai would be stationed in Irtra to help govern it as war general. Nucilver and Alessa would help govern Kryo and clear all fugitives. Oliver Wingblade would be the captain of the MK II and leader of Vivica’s air defense. Espilious would be made prince of Vivica and the successor of Valo and Saharah. At the age of three he had begun to study the history of Ghaelivon and has picked up varies interests making him a prodigy. Everything was balanced and restored with the exception of Hora.
The team prepared to make peace in Hora. It was agreed that Saharah would stay and watch over Espilious. Terrias, Manna, Valo and Oliver would go and travel to Hora. The crew had made it to Hora in a matter of 3 hours. As they had docked, a group of armed soldiers came to greet and escort the three knights to King Sorian. Oliver decided to stay by the ship and prepare to launch when they return. As Terrias entered the room with Valo and Manna, King Sorian came to them and greeted them cheerfully. “Alas, the Serine Knights of Vivica, the unifiers of Ghaelivon. What an honor it is to meet with you all.” Valo shook his hand, “Likewise.” “I know you came here to solve peace with our country and I tell you that I do not mind doing so. However, I ask a favor from you that I am pretty sure you can handle.” “And what favor would that be?” asked Manna. “There is a crystal in our deepest cave near Riteath. It is known as the crystal of chaos. Settle it and you will have my trust.” The team decided to head out to the cave. As they entered, they realized that there was no way out until the problem was issued. They had finally made it to the crystal. “So this is the crystal of chaos… to imagine this thing is causing a lot of havoc around here,” said Manna touching the crystal. “I suggest you be extremely careful, we have no idea what this crystal is capable of,” said Valo. As soon as Manna took her hand off the crystal it began to glow and manifest into a humanoid being. Once it has it looked at the trio and laughed. “This is your end! Let me live and die you shall, kill me and trapped in Riteath you will be forever!” “What do we do?” asked Manna grabbing the hilt of her sword with Valo doing the same thing. “We must fight it…” said Terrias. Back at the castle of Hora a knight spoke to King Sorian, “They have been defeated.” Sorian laughed menacingly, “The world is mine!!” Oliver flew back to the capital and informed Saharah of what had happened. Saharah screamed and gave the order to prepare for war, “Inform the other countries, we will take Hora by force for this. We are united! We cannot fall!” The country never was the same afterwards. The year raged for 10 years. Vivica was lost and Hora had taken over destroying Garner and keeping Vivica captive. Kryo was the only country still standing and Espilious became a fugitive at the age of 10. His story will continue the legacy of the Serine Knights.
The End
