At around 8:00 PM, some of the palace guards were using magic to prepare the Moon Temple and the surrounding areas in the eastern part of the kingdom for the first crescent moon festival that was to be held tomorrow.
Tomorrow, the first crescent moon festival would be held in this Moon Temple, and people would gather there to celebrate and many games and competitions would be held here.
The guards were happily organizing and making arrangements for the festival.
Also, three royal palaces were built a short distance from the temple.
At that night, the grand palace in the center of the Moon Kingdom was shining, the three-line circular walls around it were high and strong, and grade 12 strong guards stood guard over the palace, holding beast weapons in their hands.
On the top floor of the palace, a room was bright and luxurious. There were many books on witchcraft on the bookshelves, and beautiful paintings and weapons hung on the walls. That was Prince Zephyrus' room.
Zephyrus was standing upside down on the ceiling of that room, and in his right hand was an ancient stone with the dragon eye symbol.
What does the dragon eye symbol on this stone and on my right palm mean, maybe it represents some kind of dragon? I didn't understand anything.
He was asking himself many questions about that ancient stone, but he didn't know the answers to those questions.
At that moment, the door to that room slowly opened..... Zephyrus noticed a beautiful woman and a strong young man standing outside the door.
They are Zephyrus's non-siblings Morgan and Cassandra, King Amon's original heirs.
Crown Prince Morgan Wolfric is a very brave, strong, and fierce-willed man, the first son of King Amon and therefore the next king of the Moon Kingdom. He has piercing green eyes, long white hair tied back in a ponytail, and wears a gray sorcerer's robe with a polar bear skin cloak over it.
Cassandra Wolfric was very beautiful, her white hair was long, her green eyes were attractive, she had a sexy body structure with big breasts, and she was wearing a black witch costume.
Anyone who saw her would want to get her.
Zephyrus, Cassandra, and Morgan have always been together since childhood, even though Zephyrus is their father's adopted son, they treat him like a real brother.
Zephyrus jumped down from the ceiling and went to them.
You should be at the art hall at this time? What are you doing here alone?
Oh sorry! I was thinking about something so I forgot about going to the art hall, okay, has the art program started?
No, nothing has started yet brother, but if we are late, the program will start so come with us quickly.
After that, Zephyrus, Cassandra, and Morgan left the room together and walked down the long crystal stairs, at that time, the ancient stone was the dollar in the necklace with 60 wolf teeth that Zephyrus was wearing around his neck.
At the same time, only King Amon and Master Severus were present in the royal council of the palace, and they were talking seriously.
Your Majesty, what is written in that book is completely true, just look at the sky and you will see that the comet is blood-colored.
King Amon looked at the comet in the sky with a kind of confusion, it was blood-colored, and even the bravest person who saw it would be afraid.
My king, listen carefully to what I say, that comet is demanding the blood of the last descendants of a sorcerous clan of centuries of fame, valor, and power, and until its request is fulfilled, great destruction will occur. According to Prince Zephyrus' horoscope, it must immediately do what is necessary to protect the kingdom that begins in the Moon Kingdom. Moreover, the 20th emperor of sorcery is coming with his army to the first crescent moon festival tomorrow. You must discuss this with him.
Hmm, Master Severus, I understand your fear, but the comet cannot fulfill your wish because in this era, there is no witchcraft clan with a thousand centuries of fame and power. The only such clan was Aurora, and it too has been destroyed. Of the three Auroras who survived the destruction, two are still alive, but they are also powerless. So now we must think of a way to escape. And only after knowing that the ancient horoscope about the comet is true, will I discuss it with the 20th emperor of sorcery? Do you understand what I said?
I understood that the 20th the emperor of sorcery will believe anything with evidence, I will immediately collect evidence of the truth of the horoscope about that comet and come to you, Majesty.
After that, Master Severus hurriedly left the council.
King Amon sat on the golden throne in the council with a kind of sadness and thought seriously about that comet.
Has the wolfric clan's ancestors come true that the comet will appear? Is the fate going to happen? What will be destroyed by this? I know one thing for sure, the first impact of this will start with my beloved son Zephyrus.
Art Hall:
The art hall was artistic and magnificent, where the art show takes place at night, and no one can enter there without an invitation.
That night, important people in the palace, such as ministers, generals, and some masters, had come to watch the show.
At that time, in the women's section of the art hall, the Queen of the Moon Kingdom, Liza Wolfric, was sitting in the main seat. She would do anything for her children, but she didn't like Zephyrus and hated him very much.
The reasons for this were that everyone in the kingdom loved Zephyrus and that he got everything more than her children. She also couldn't accept the Wolfric clan name that King Amon gave him, so she hated him.
In the seat next to Queen Liza, her daughter Sarah Wolfric was sitting.
Mom, why hasn't the show started yet? Why is it so late today?.
The show will start in a little while, so where are your siblings?
That is Arian, Rabiya and Emilia have gone to the moon temple to watch the festival arguments and Morgan and Cassandra will be here with Zephyrus.
Queen Liza was very angry when she heard the name Zephyrus, however, she restrained herself at that time so as not to show her anger in front of her daughter but she would not be restrained like this all the time.
At that moment, the giant iron door of the art hall opened and Zephyrus, Cassandra, and Morgan entered together.
Everyone there stood up and bowed respectfully to them, especially Zephyrus.
But he felt uncomfortable with everyone bowing respectfully to him like this, and Cassandra and Morgan laughed mockingly, understanding that.
And then Queen Liza was disgusted by the respect that the people there had shown Zephyrus for so long, and she didn't like being there at all. However, she had to be here.
After that, Zephyrus, Cassandra and Morgan went to a special place in the hall and sat down on the seats there, from where the hall stage was clearly visible.
Then the stage curtain opened, and the dancers were dressed in the same blue costume and in a water dancing pose.
Everyone present was eager to see the water wave dance.
Water wave dance is a graceful dance, which has the element of water, and the dancers dance gracefully as the water moves.
In that way, the dancers started dancing beautifully on the stage as if the water was moving, then a circle of bright water droplets formed around the dancers, and the dance was captivating to everyone.
Zephyrus, Cassandra and Morgan were watching the dance and enjoying it.
The dancers made water dancing poses with the water droplets surrounding them, which was very beautiful.
In particular, the central dancer used a water drop to create a water sparrow and danced on it.
It attracted everyone and made them pay attention to her.
The dancer's name was Shravita, one of the palace's slave girls. Women like her were only used for dancing in the Moon Kingdom, but in other kingdoms, slave girls were also used for prostitution and sex.
As Zephyrus watched the dance, the ancient stone necklace on his neck and the symbols on his palms also sparkled, and at that moment a vision appeared to him.
In that vision, he saw the Moon Kingdom on fire at night, the people of the kingdom running around screaming in fear of death, some black figures brutally killing people, and the corpses of people lying there.
Seeing that, Zephyrus was shocked and screamed N.... No, then tears flowed from his eyes.
The dancers stopped dancing at his scream, and everyone's attention turned to Zephyrus.
Hey Zephyrus, what's wrong with you? Why are you screaming like this? Tell me?
But Zephyrus remained silent, not responding to Cassandra's questions.
Realizing that something was wrong with Zephyrus, Crown Prince Morgan took his brother away.
Cassandra and some others followed them.
Queen Liza thought that Zephyrus shouldn't be screaming like this, he must have sensed something, it must be terrible, and I must find out what it was.
At the same time, a large army was traveling towards the Moon Kingdom that night, it was the 20th emperor of sorcery's army.
The 20th emperor of sorcery was in the chariot that was coming in the center of the army, and there were 2000 powerful sorcerers around his chariot.
The 20th emperor of sorcery, Ricardo Kaunas, was a 150-year-old man, a powerful sorcerer, who had won countless battles with his own power, but today he was sick, and he was going to the Moon Kingdom for the first crescent moon festival and for the medicine for that disease.
At that time, he was sitting in the coach inside the chariot and drinking a potion.
My health condition is getting worse day by day, I don't want to die now, the herb that will increase my life span will definitely be given to me by my friend Amon Wolfric this time and I have to talk to him about a wedding.
His son Atlas was watching him talking like this with anger but he could not do anything now, he had come with his father to fulfill his dream.
Also, Atlas had a magic compass in his right hand, which his grandfather Malfoy had given him.
Understand one thing well, with this compass you can find out where the powerful divine beast is hiding. Using this, you must find that moon dragon. For whatever reason, even your father Ricardo and the king of the moon kingdom, Amon Wolfric should not know that you have come to the moon kingdom.
Malfoy had secretly said this when he left Emperor's Island.
Atlas smiled mysteriously at the compass in his hand, concealing it.
But the 20th emperor of sorcery was unaware of his son's cruelty, and the reason was his illness, so many things were happening beyond his control.
Meanwhile, in the palace of the Moon Kingdom, on the balcony of Zephyrus' room, Zephyrus was sitting on a cloud-like sofa in great confusion. Cassandra and Morgan were sitting on the sofa opposite him.
Hey brother, tell me why you were studying in the art hall? Explain what happened to you at that time?
I had a vision at that time, it was a vision of the destruction of the Moon Kingdom, it was very terrible and destructive, and in that vision, some black figures brutally killed the people of the kingdom.
It may be a future vision, but it is not certain because your visions are powerful, but some of them have come true, many have turned out to be lies, and the black figures you mentioned may be snow evil.
Yeah I also know about that snow evil, they can only live on snow and the sun is their weakness, there is a lot of information about this snow evil in most of the kingdom's libraries, that is important information, what is more, they have the power to bring any dead beings back to life, but they definitely can't get through that wall, so don't worry about anything, be happy for the festival that is going to happen tomorrow.
Well, as you say, I also want my vision to be a lie, it should never come true.
Of course it won't come true, nothing can destroy our kingdom, because the Moon Kingdom is unique and powerful compared to other kingdoms.
Cassandra and Morgan both said they hoped to make Zephyrus happy and relieved of his sorrow, but they also had a kind of fear, but they did not show it.
Zephyrus was comforted by their confident words and happily started talking to his brothers.
Last time the festival was very special, especially the fireworks were very beautiful, wasn't it?
Yes, this time we will celebrate the festival even better, right Cassandra.
We will definitely never forget this festival in our lives, it will be very special.
The three of them looked in the direction of the temple while talking happily.
Also, half of the arguments in the temple were over by then, and the remaining arguments were over by morning.
At 5:00 AM, on the death platform at the top of a mountain, the only hero who survived the snowy forest yesterday evening was sitting bound with iron chains.
Also there were King Amon, Crown Prince Morgan, Prince Zephyrus, Prince Arian, Princesses Cassandra, Sarah, Rabiya, Emilia and some guards.
That hero had escaped from the army protecting the wall and had saved the others who came with him. King Amon has come to execute him.
Listen to what I say, King, a black figure killed the others who came with me. I am not responsible for it in any way. Believe me.
I know that the snow evil is the cause of this, but what you did is that you are running away in fear of it, you are a magical warrior . You can resist it but you did not do it. For a sorcerer and magical warrior dying a heroic death in combat is the ultimate joy and honor, but you are behaving like a coward, for this you will surely be sentenced to death.
The magical warrior understood very well that his death would be today, and he felt a sense of guilt.
Then a blue sword appeared in King Amon's right hand, and with it the warrior cut off his head in one stroke.
The magical warrior's blood was splattered all over the stage, his head was in one place and his body in another.
Zephyrus saw it with a kind of sadness, but a king had to do this to fulfill his punishment, and sometimes what seemed like evil could turn out to be good.
After that, King Amon, Crown Prince Morgan, Prince Zephyrus, Prince Arian, princesses Cassandra, Sarah, Emilia rode down the mountain on horses and went into the rain forest, their rear guards rode ordinary horses carrying spears.
Now they were going to the moon temple, and this forest path was a shortcut to get to that temple.
While they were riding on horses, Zephyrus saw something and stopped his horse.
Noticing him, King Amon, crown Prince Morgan, princess Cassandra stopped their horses, followed by Prince Arian princesses Rabiya, Emilia stopped their horses.
Is there a problem, Zephyrus, tell us immediately
Look under that tree, father!
King Amon and the others looked at the tree. Under the tree, a deer was lying dead, the dead deer was stabbed with antlers and a wolf was fighting for its life.
Seeing that, King Amon got off his horse and went towards the tree with his sword, followed by Zephyrus, Morgan, Cassandra, Arian, Rabiya and Emilia.
The wolf was fighting for its life and out of compassion, King Amon killed the wolf with his sword without feeling any pain.
Zephyrus did not like his action, but his father did not say anything against it.
Arian smiled at Zephyrus deceitfully, Arian also hates Zephyrus like his mother, there is no reason for that.
Arian is Queen Liza's favorite child, so he likes what his mother likes, and he hates what she hates, that's how he hates Zephyrus.
King Amon left the dead wolf and came to his beloved son Zephyrus.
I know your kindness but you should not show kindness all the time, that will be dangerous for you and that wolf is badly injured and cannot be healed my son.
No one is allowed to kill any living being, I love all living beings, I have no desire for any positions, I have no friends or enemies, that is why I will become a true sorcerer.
No my son, you have not yet become a true sorcerer, for that you will have to face many obstacles and enemies, and you will have to learn many powerful magic spells and techniques, and you must have many desires, then you will be able to achieve your goal.
Your advice definitely suited me, father, my method, principles, laws have become different, I will definitely travel my way and bring peace to this world, and as the first step, I will become the emperor of sorcery.
Thus the father and son were discussing, and the Crown Prince Morgan, princesses Cassandra, Sarah, Rabiya and Emilia were watching this as normal because it was customary for King Amon and Prince Zephyrus to discuss this, but Prince Arian saw it wrong.
As the discussion went on, Prince Zephyrus ended it and went to his horse, and King Amon came with him.
The father and son mounted their horses together and sat down, and King Amon looked at his beloved son with pride.
My son, no prince like you has ever lived in the past. Although I am proud of you, I need to correct you in some ways, and that is good for the future of you and the Moon Kingdom.
What his father said was not understood by not only Zephyrus but also by the others there.
After that, without wasting time, they rode their horses towards the Moon Temple.
After a few hours, King Amon, Prince Morgan, Prince Zephyrus, Prince Arian and princesses Cassandra, Sarah, Rabiya and Emilia arrived at the Moon Temple.
Since that day, the people of the kingdom were busy in that temple because of the crescent moon festival. Many of the people there were sorcerers, and all the necessary facilities were provided for them.
Near the temple, there were flower shops, herbal shops, magic weapons, and jewelry shops for the night puja for the first crescent moon festival, as well as heroic sports competitions and fun events.
There, beautiful women were attracting all the men, and the men were talking about the beauty of those women, and the sound of children playing happily was heard everywhere.
Then a magical warrior announced with great pride, "The great sorcerer, the winner of countless wars, the king of the moon kingdom, Amon Wolfric, is coming with his princes and princesses."
Hearing the announcement of the magic warrior, all the people stood aside.
King Amon, Crown Prince Morgan, Gentle Prince Zephyrus, Prince Arian and princesses Cassandra, Sarah, Rabiya and Emilia rode galloping on their horses along the straight path of the temple, and before and behind them were strong magic warriors carrying ice spears in their hands.
At that time, Queen Liza, along with the holy sorcerers who ruled the temple, was waiting at the gate of the temple to welcome her husband and her true heirs, and there were lotus flowers on a silver plate in her hand.
At that time, all the people shouted, "Long live King Amon Wolfric, long live our beloved Prince Zephyrus, long live Crown Prince Morgan."
Zephyrus was very happy to see the people congratulating him and bowed to the people. This unique quality of his was the first reason why people liked him.
But Queen Liza and Prince Arian were disgusted to see the people congratulating Zephyrus. They could not accept this, and King Amon was saddened to see it.
No matter how hard King Amon tried, he could not change the hatred his wife had for her beloved son Zephyrus.
Here, except for Queen Liza and Prince Arian, everyone was happy and joyful, the people showered beautiful flowers on King Amon, gentle Prince Zephyrus, and Crown Prince Morgan with love.
Thus, the first crescent moon festival began here with joy, but the 20th emperor of sorcery had not yet arrived.
King Amon also thought about it and rode his horse to the temple gate, then his seven heirs also arrived.
Queen Liza welcomes her husband and his true heirs with lotus flowers, but she welcomes Zephyrus with hatred.
Seeing that, King Amon, Crown Prince Morgan, and Princess Cassandra were angry with the Queen, but Zephyrus accepted his mother's hatred with love. That is his specialty, the divine qualities will always be in him. Those qualities are mixed in his blood.
The king must give you the symbol of your clan for tonight's worship at this time.
Immediately, King Amon took off the silver ring with the crescent moon symbol that he was wearing on the ring finger of his right hand and handed it to a holy sorcerer there.
After receiving the ring, the holy sorcerer entered the temple and then the other holy sorcerers walked.
Just then, the 20th emperor of sorcery Ricardo Kaunas arrived there with his army, and his army was large and strong.
When the 20th emperor of sorcery Ricardo Kaunas got down from his chariot, all the people there bowed their heads, this respect was not out of love but out of fear.
The 20th emperor of sorcery immediately hugged King Amon, and Amon hugged his friend with friendship.
The two friends expressed their friendship after many years. Then King Amon gestured for the people who were bowing their heads to stand up, so the people stood up.
It's been many years since I saw you, but you're still the same, I have many things to talk to you about.
I missed you too, my friend, come on, let's go inside the temple.
After that, the 20th Emperor of Sorcery and King Amon went inside the temple.
In the meantime, Crown Prince Morgan, Prince Zephyrus and Princess Cassandra had left for an important task.
"My beloved son Morgan is of no use to me as the Crown Prince, Morgan is just like his father, I will not let this continue. I must do something immediately and create a separation between Morgan and Zephyrus," thought Queen Liza.
In a few minutes, the 20th emperor of sorcery and King Amon arrived at the Wolfric clan's tomb in the basement of the Moon Temple.
That tomb is where all the members of the Wolfric clan who have died before are buried, and their statues are also there.
At that time, King Amon, 20th emperor of sorcery Richardo arrived at a specific tomb, on that tomb was the name Luna Wolfric and behind the tomb was a statue of a woman.
It was the tomb of King Amon's younger sister Luna Wolfric. Both King Amon and the 20th emperor of sorcery felt sad when they saw the tomb, Luna had been special to them both when she was alive.
Luna is very beautiful, kind, and special to everyone. She saved me from a great danger. Since then, I have loved her and was moved to marry her. But fate did not allow it. The 19th emperor of sorcery's nephew, Reharias, kidnapped Aurora. After that, the Aurora clan with divine power mysteriously disappeared. No one knows about that mystery yet. For some time, we did not know any information about Luna. Our kingdom did not search for her, but we could not find her. At that time, a coffin came to you. Luna was dead in it. Reharias had brutally stoned her to death. You could not bear the cruelty that happened to your sister. It was a very painful time for you, but you did not take revenge for it. You killed Reharias on the battlefield of Vicars. After that war, I became the 20th emperor of sorcery. But there are still some people alive in the Aurora clan.
Are you talking about the son and daughter of the deceased 19th emperor of sorcery? But now they don't have beasts and they don't have the ability to control beasts and they don't have purity so there's no need to worry.
You're right, but we need to keep an eye on them, that's why I've sent my loyal companion to the Eastern Continent. Now I'll know their every move. Can you give me the herb that will increase my lifespan?
I've told you many times that I can't give you that herb because that herb of righteous life should not be available to evil people. It's my duty to protect it.
Are you calling me evil? That is true in a way, but you shouldn't say that. Okay, I know how to increase my lifespan. Okay, you have granted one of my wishes. You must accept my other wish, which is a wedding proposal. You must marry my daughter Athena to your adopted son Zephyrus.
Hearing that, King Amon was shocked and looked at him.
Don't be too shocked, I want to make your adopted son my son-in-law, I have been aware of his achievements and wonders from time to time. For the past few days, I have felt that something is wrong around me but I don't know what it is. After me, my daughter is going to become the next emperor of sorcery. She needs a suitable partner. That's why I ask you, my dear son, what is your answer?
I think your wedding proposal is right for me, but my son's wishes are more important. I will talk to him about this and answer you. The crescent moon has appeared since last night. Now, leave the temple and go to the palace built for you, far away, and you and your family can rest.
I expect you to give me the answer I want, my dear friend.
Saying so, the 20th emperor of sorcery left, and then King Amon's face showed anger and doubt.
Ricardo has come with some plan to bring this wedding proposal, okay, I can wait and see what happens, but I will not let my son be the victim under any circumstances, I know what to do about it.
Just then, King Amon noticed a dragon painting painted in blue on the wall behind his sister's statue, which the 20th emperor of sorcery, who had been here all this time, had not noticed.
King Amon walked slowly, placed his right hand on the dragon painting, and chanted a unique magic spell called "Tkoria, Sirius, Snathiye" once.
The next moment, the wall opened, and it was deep darkness inside, not even a speck of light.
Then King Amon walked in, holding a fire lamp in his right hand.
Within seconds of him entering, the wall closed, and at that moment, a terrifying beast roar sounded from inside the closed wall.
