The cold breeze of the air fanning my face made my complexion turn pale as I kept on looking in the dark sky of the night with only the stars visible in sight.

I was still thinking over what had happened in my life by the time I got my mark to be Grey's fated one. The moment I garnered the power of the water bearer and the thought of me having wings in the past recoiled and rocked my brains for answers. Maybe, I'm somewhat a holy person in the past and died and got reincarnated.

I slumped further from sitting on the railing of the castle's huge balcony, pondering to myself what I might do in the following day, after day and so on and so forth. If I hadn't been Grey's fated one I wouldn't have to suffer things like this. If I want all of this to end, then I have to do something to solve what's happening in this freakin world to end all of my miseries. I heaved a loud sigh to myself while clutching my now damped hair.

"This is fucked up!" I mumbled.

"Your thinking hard?" Someone called and from just hearing his voice, I know who it is.

"Shut up." I hissed as I glare in nothingness in front of me.

"Lion, won't you tell me what's been up in your mind? Is something bothering you?" He asked which made me ticked off.

"Why don't you see for yourself why am I becoming like this! Moron?!" I yelled at him but he made no reaction sketch in his face which made me more agitated. I glare hard at him. But he tends to laugh about my expression.

"The expressions you make are just priceless for my eyes Lion, your such a beautiful wife to have and I am grateful for it." He commented.

I think a nuclear bomb just exploded inside of me.

"Shut up. I'm not your freaking wife." I hissed with complete and obvious bitterness in my voice.

"Of course your not my freaking wife, because, you're my beautiful husband."

I raise my right arm and throw a punch on Grey but to my dismay, he caught it immediately and spun me around. Locking my two arms in my back.

"Argh! Let go moron!" I yelled.

"Now, now, don't struggle, if you don't want me to break your pretty little bones won't you?"

Wait. There's something wrong here. Grey would never say those kind of words to me. And even though I inflict pain unto him, he just kept silent and accept it but this guy, it felt different, he's voice and aura are incomplete different. Like he has the face of Grey, but its not Grey at all.

"Who're you?! Your not Grey!" I yelled as I struggle.

"Aww, you found out immediately, just as expected from the bearer of the earth. You're gorgeous as expected." He whispered directly to my ears and licked the insides. I flinch at how cold it was in my ear. Bullshit.

"S-stop touching me!! Let go! Help! Grey anyone!!" I yelled through my lungs as I struggle around him. I kicked him in his gut and that had me escaping from his hold and without further ado, I quickly ran back inside the palace. Before I could reach the door I bumped my body on somewhat an invisible shield, making me slumped on the floor.

"Ouch." I gasps as I massage my face.

"Now, now, what a cute action you just did. But too bad, you can't escape. I know you would do that, so I already made preparations just in case, and it worked." He laugh menacingly.

"How dare you!" I stood up quickly and face the invisible shield and banged my hands in it when suddenly, it release electricity and hit me.

"Aarrghh!!" I hissed in pain. Both of my arms were now burned. "Shit."

"Now, don't resist my little earth bearer. If you come with me, all your miseries with this so called premonition of the kingdom will vanish. Like you've never even been predicted to be the fated one to that royal insolent prince. In the end, he'll just be giving his power to you so that you could die and replenish the earth's dying life. Is that how you want your life to end?""

My heart cringed at that. I know that all of this ruckus has put my life in hell but knowing the fact that Grey do love me, not because I was his fated one, but he loves me for who I am. If someone values me like that, how can I leave them? Just like how she loved me, it had hurt me that she just immediately disappeared like a bubble.

"No!" I blurted. "I won't be leaving with you. Even if it will cause me my life, I will carry all the burdens. If I have to give my body and soul to this earth, I will. Its better if one dies instead of a millions." His face frowned at my words. The same face with Grey was now gone and it is replaced with someone else's face and I was frozen.

"M-Mira. What're you doing here?"

"Lion, I'm back." She smiled.

"I'll be leaving for awhile, I hope you understand."

"Will I wait for you...?"

She just smiled and continued to walk away. She didn't even say goodbye to me or say the 4 letter word that we would always share.

"I love you..." I called out to her.

I was dumb that time that I promised myself...

I will wait for her.

I stood up from the ground and came towards her. She reached out her hand to me and I took it. But before I could grab a hold to her hand, something broke behind us and I spun around and saw a furious looking Grey.

"Grey." I croaked out happily. I was about to ran to Grey when Mira grabbed my hand.

"I'm here now Lionel." She said and I was enchanted by her beauty yet again. Her eyes are the best and without further ado, I kissed her. I didn't even took a mind that Grey was in front of us. It was like, me and Mira has an attraction I can't repel. Maybe I do missed and love her so much.

"I love y-" before I could finish what I was going to say. I blacked out, the only thing I remember is Grey yelling at me when I felt my body flew up somewhere.

★

My body felt heavy, I can't even feel my limbs. Like all my body has been removed and my head was the only one left. I tried to open my eyes and found out I was on some kind of a dim light circular room. With only me, lying naked with only a single cloth to cover my organ in the center of the room.

"W-where am I?" I asked. I sat up slowly and luckily, despite the numbness that I felt, there was no unbearable pain. I stood up from the ground, wrapping tightly the cloth around my hips. The ground I was lying was full of markings, it looked like some magic circle imprinted on the floor. And only torches are making the room bearable to see. And I just notice, there was no door.

"Lionel. Your awake." Her voice greeted me which made me spun around to look at her.

"Mira where am I?" I asked.

"Were in our eternal haven. We'll be living here just the two of us." She exclaimed which had me smiling. I walked up to her and hold her hands which made her blush. I kissed her knuckles gently and looked up to her.

"Your beautiful as ever love." I said while looking at her hungrily.

"Thank you." She smiled. She neared me and push me to the floor. And when my body landed on the floor, cuffs immediately appeared, restraining my hands and feet to move.

"M-mira! What is this?!" I asked as I struggle.

"If I start the ritual right now, you will be fully convert to be a demon that will destroy earth. And haul demons from hell to reside here, isn't it wonderful?"

"What?!"

"Yes, you heard me Lionel. I will convert you to be the destroyer and slowly kill this world for demons to live here."

"No. The Mira I know wouldn't do such things."

"Oh yes I am. I tricked you into falling in love with me so there will be no more ruckus once I'd like you to come with me. Isn't it a wonderful plan?" She stated.

I felt betrayed. And for the first time in my life that I'd really pitied myself because of my idiocy. I even promise myself to wait, and now I've waited enough and finally got the chance to see her again, hell broke loose infront of me.

Is it my time to loose my sanity?

That question I can't even answer even if I'm the one who asked for it. Because I don't even know what's going on in my life anymore. I don't even know what should I do to stop the war of the demons with our kingdom. I don't even know my role in this dilemma or what's my purpose, why do I have to gather the blessings of all beings who compromises the earth.

I slowly surrendered beneath her and broke out into filth of sobs. I don't know what to do anymore. All of these things are making me helpless and numb. I just want to die and end all my suffering. I just want to live a life peacefully and move on with my future but, here I am. Being held down with the woman I had loved for all my life who also betrayed me, and is ready to sacrifice my soul and convert me as the powerful destroyer who will literally slaughter mankind.

She held out a dagger with several ritual markings on it from behind her and raised it in the air, aiming straight at my heart. I couldn't even move a single muscle since the urge of being dead took a rise inside me so I didn't let the dagger stopped as it came down on me, tearing straight into my chest. And that's when I really close my eyes as my last tear slid down from my eyes.
