Advertisement
"19 years ago my husband received an extraordinary task because the king ordered him immediately, on that day the king was very happy and had announced to all the inhabitants of this country that a new successor to the throne would be born, namely the birth of his child into this world, but between Shortly after the wife gave birth to her child, she was bleeding profusely and her life could not be helped. Then after hearing the news about the death of his wife, the king immediately approached the wife's body, which was still lying limply near her son. The king was devastated by the death of his wife, but he was also happy with the birth of his son, for about 1 week the king mourned the death of his wife whom he loved so much. Unfortunately that deep sadness actually made the darkness within him control him and incited the king to throw away his son and think that the child is an unlucky bearer for his life." While shedding tears, the wife of the commander explained this to Cyril, then he again told the story to Cyril.
"Then Commander Augusta was ordered by the king to immediately throw the child away from this country, but because my husband could not bear to see this innocent child. discarded so he came home and came to me to ask my opinion on where the baby would be taken. Then I suggested to him to take the baby into the forbidden forest and meet the sage who lives in it to leave the baby to the sage." Then Cyril was very surprised and could not say anything else because he felt that what the commander's wife meant was himself.
"But unfortunately lately the king began to know that his son was still alive so he ordered troops to search for the child all over the country to kill him, so my husband immediately met the sage again and invited him along with the child to get away from this. Unfortunately the sage refused to go, so my husband was ordered to take him to the palace so that he could be reunited with the king." Said Commander Augusta's wife.
"Then do you know what happened to my father ?" continued Cyril, feeling sad and very worried. "Sorry Cyril, I don't know that much detail because my husband still hasn't come back after that incident." Replied the commander's wife. "I wonder how long it has been for your husband not to come back, madam ?" Asked Cyril curiously. "It's been about 2 years." The commander's wife replied.
Cyril couldn't say anything other than shed tears because he was holding back the sadness he felt, feeling angry and also disappointed with his father for not telling him who he really was all this time.

Then Cyril spent the night at the commander's house and got ready to travel the next day to the Kingdom of Villmort.After he fell asleep, again the dream came to him and this time Cyril was not afraid anymore but he was very curious about all this and asked the old man "Do you already know all this?". "Yes, my son, but you don't need to be afraid because I will always be here for you and I will guide you so that you don't fall into darkness." The old man replied very wisely. "Then what should I do at this time?" Asked Cyril to the old man. "Keep walking in the light that is still in you, don't let the darkness overtake you. Do not ever ignore the words of those around you, digest it before you do it, lest the light that is in you is lost." Cyril woke up and pondered the answer from the old man in his dream, then soon he fell back asleep.
The next day Cyril woke up and ready to go to the Kingdom of Villmort. After saying goodbye to the wife of the commander Augusta, Cyril returned to continue his journey by horse through forests, valleys, mountains and vast meadows and rivers that were also wide. And the trip takes approximately 2-3 days on horseback.
Meanwhile,
The human nation alliance forces from the kingdoms of Villmort, Zilgor and Baugmerton, led by Commander Augusta Cloudiastra, have faced off against the alliance forces of elves nations consisting of the Sylverian and Sanctumary Kingdoms. The battle took place in the valley of Ra'Amman in the border area between humans and elves.
With the total human nation alliance army numbering approximately 6,000 and the elves nation alliance numbering approximately 5,000 troops. The war, which was quite fierce and large, claimed quite a number of casualties and was won by the elves troops. So that they can repulse the allied forces from the human race. Many families lost their husbands and children in the war.
Meanwhile there was also fighting in the northern part of the country. That is the alliance of the human race and the dwarves against the great invasion of the orc army.
The total army of the two sides was approximately 20,000 and the peoples succeeded in winning the war and occupying the northern dwarf kingdom namely the Kingdom of Gogh'Kazan.
The fighting is taking place throughout the country and there are no signs of an end - yet.
Cyril arrived on a hill near the Villmort Kingdom and he could see from afar the Villmort Kingdom, then he said in his heart "I'm home, but it's not the king that I'm looking for but my father and commander Augusta." Then Cyril descended from the hill and headed towards the Kingdom of ViIImort.

When Cyril arrived in the Kingdom, he immediately looked for an inn to rest while asking the people he met if any of them saw the figure of his father entering this city. But all the answers of the people he met said they had never seen him enter the city. After Cyril booked a room, he immediately went up to his room to rest, hoping that his father was still alive and could come home with him.
But when Cyril was resting, suddenly there was a knock on the door which was loud enough to wake him up. Cyril immediately took his sword and walked carefully towards the door of his room. Worry, fear and anxiety he felt at the same time but because his determination to meet his father was so great that he did not care about his feelings and immediately opened the door. Then enter the royal guards from the Kingdom of Villmort to capture Cyril.
Cyril did not remain silent and fought against them. Bloodshed occurred in Cyril's room, but because there were too many of them, Cyril tried to get out of his room. But unfortunately he was too late. Cyril was also besieged and they managed to catch Cyril and take him to the royal prison and then confiscated all the equipment that was brought by Cyril.
Cyril was curious and asked himself why the Villmort royal guard could find out his presence in the hotel. Not long after Cyril was arrested and put in prison, a woman came to see the head of the prison. Cyril felt familiar with the woman. After the woman got closer, Cyril was surprised to find that the woman was the wife of the commander Augusta.
Then Cyril yelled at him and said "Hi this madam this is Cyril, please help me to get out from here". "I'm sorry Cyril, all this I have to do so I can meet my husband again." The commander's wife replied, crying. And again Cyril was silent and speechless because the person he trusted because he had helped him tell his past story was the one who told the royal guards to arrest him.
So Cyril wailed from behind the prison because he felt this world was not fair to him. There are many hard things that he has to go through or endure during this.
Then the darkness began to overtake Cyril and affect him to end his life. After that Cyril secretly began to take the small knife that was in the prison guard who was sleeping near his prison cell.
After Cyril got the knife and put it on his neck. Then a very bright light appeared in front of him and in that light it was like there was a shadow of an old man, then there was a voice that said "Cyril my son, don't you do this kind of thing. You are not alone, there are still many people who really love and care for you. Only a matter of time alone will bring you together with them and remember your father has been waiting for you". Then Cyril cried and threw away the knife that was holding earlier.
Everything that happened to him at this time really made Cyril so exhausted that he even passed out.
Then Cyril realized by hearing a voice from the prison guard announcing that it was time to eat. And Cyril woke up feeling very hungry, but the food that the prison guards brought was not healthy, but like it or not, Cyril had to eat it.
After that Cyril began planning his way out of the place. Then suddenly the prison guards approached Cyril and said "Young man, prepare yourself because the death sentence awaits you tomorrow".
Cyril also felt surprised to hear the words of the guard, but Cyril suddenly found an idea how to get out of the prison by taking advantage of what would happen tomorrow. Cyril thought really hard and found a way to get out of there.
When Cyril was looking for the idea, suddenly heard a voice from the cell next to the prison "Hi there, are you really the son of the sage ?".
Cyril was very surprised to see a black shadow in the cell next to his prison and said "Who are you and what is your business ?". "You don't need to know who I am but I will help you get out of this place but there is one condition that is you have to let me come with you to get out of here, how about my offer Cyril ?" replied the stranger.
After Cyril considered it all day long. It was getting late and Cyril had decided to cooperate with the stranger. Then they began to make plans to get out of the prison. after finding a way to get out of the place, they rested. The night passed and dawn began to appear. The day Cyril had been waiting for had arrived. Cyril said in his heart "Dad, wait for me. I'll take you back home soon."
"Who am I ? (Part IV - Last Part )".

Leaves of Terranthir
DISCONTINUED - I won't be writing more of this fiction. Check out the latest post for a worlbuilding summary / final thoughts. Leaves of Terranthir is a gamelit blend of ARPG, action, fantasy, and slice of life. It's inspired in part by some of my favourite games, borrowing in themes, sense of exploration, and aesthetics from the Soulsborne and soulslike genre, mixed heavily with arpg itemization from Diablo/PoE style games. While many may remember their Soulslike experiences as nothing more than suffering, I personally loved the sense of progression, to prevail over challenges and monsters that seemed impossible to defeat at first. If any of that seems interesting to you, do check out the first chapter and let me know what you think. Cheers, and thanks for reading. Cover by Baconstrap.
