“Mavios!” a hoarse shout crocked the silence on the walls of an old castle. In a blink of an eye, a tall man with green hair stood at the side of the person who just shouted. “ Mavios, ready to serve sir.” the man said with soft voice while bent down to his master respectly. The man who called him sat on a throne, looking upon the night sky through out glassy ceiling above. “Look at the moon!” ordered the master. The green hair man glanced upon the moon at the top of them for a moment. “I can see it, sir. Soon, the moon will reach its full darkness. I presume, it will occure in three more days.” Said Mavios while looked at his master.

“Hm, soon the right time will come.” The master agreed him. “but sir, what about the holly sorcerer?” asked Mavios. The master seemed to think for awhile, “You’re right. Then, I want you to deal with the little witch immediately, Mavios. Before the moon lost its light.” Ordered the man. “Yes, sir.” Answered the green haired man. He bent his body down respectly once again before dissapeared in a flash, leaving the master who sat still on his throne. His lips were pulled up on a wide smile. His eyes were still glued, looking at the moon with yearning gleam. Yes, a longing to a soon-to-be queen who had been asleep this whole time. Now, after thousands of years the time had finally come for her to be revived and filled the empty throne beside him.

The day had finally come, “Mavios!” called the master to his loyal servant. “Here, sir.” Answered the tall servant. “How is the task that I gave you have been going? Have you deal with the little witch?” asked the master. “I am, sir. You can relax now. No one will have a chance to disturb you while the ritual is going.” Answered Mavios calmly. “Good. Then, order for all the servants to prepare for the ritual.” “Will do, sir.” Mavios then dissapeared into shadow once again.

Three hours later, Mavios back to met his master, “sir, the preparation had finish. It’s the time.” He said. The master stood, showing a tall, well-built,  beautiful man. The man walked through several dark hallways with Mavios who calmly attached behind him.

They stopped in front of a maroon colored door. The master opened the door and it’s true. Inside, diagram pictures, the symbol for darkness had been painted on every walls and the floor. While the ceiling was made from glass, showing the moon which its light had become thiner and thiner. In every sides of the diagram on the floor, lying five crystal stones with different colors. Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow, and White. The holly stones. The master stood in front of the diagram and enchanted the spells.

“akouste  eseis poueiste stokatofli ekeimeros sikotheite apoto makry ypnosa. kante afto toskotadi tis nychtasi syneidisipyli eiste nekroisto skotadikai afxithei apoto skotadi. Sikoi! Sikoi! Sikoi!”

Right when the moon was in a dark-full shape, the five stones were glowing their lights. The lights crawled on the lines of the diagram untill the stones lost their lights and cracked. A dark mud appeared at the center of the diagram and keep appeared until it formed a human-shape body. The process keep continued until a half part at the top of the mud formed a beautiful woman-body shape.

“Princess Spica.” Said the man. The woman opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her with a smile. “Prince Serio.” She said to the man whose  actually known as Prince Serio. Suddenly, a sword pierced through the prince body, making him fell on the ground, supporting on his knees. The crimson door opened. The prince couldn’t do anything, he can only dripping his tears, watching the holly sorcerer who came and finished off his lover’s soul. A destroyed soul could never be revived anymore.

Mavios who stood behind the prince took off the sword from the prince’s body. Afterwards, he walked towards the holly sorcerer and entwined their hands. “Mavios?! Wh-why?” asked the prince in disbelief.

“Sir, I am deeply sorry. But we have to stop you from united with that woman. Both of you are born from darkness, if the two of you become one, then this world will be falling into the deep darkness forever. Therefore, we have to stop your plan.” Explained the green haired man calmly. “so this wh-whole t-time...”

“Yes, sir. This whole time I was only pretended to be your loyal servant to spied on your moves.” Answered Mavios again. The prince gazed the couple in front of him in disbelief. The servant who he always thought loyal to him was actually only pretended. And he even allied with his enemy. The long-legged man then walked in the direction where the prince who lied in silent helplessly. The sword that he used before was still firmly in his hold. “I apologize, prince. With this, everything have finally over.” Said Mavios while stabbed his sword at the prince’s left chest.

“Rio? Rio! Wake up!” a girl’s voice woke Rio up from his nap. He opened his eyes and looked at his two friends. “see... you ditched from classes, must be fell asleep here again.” Said the girl with a pout. “ah, yeah.. Lily. I kind of felt sleepy so I slept here.” Answered Rio while rised from the bench that he used for sleep.

“But I wonder, with this hot temperature, how come you could sleep in peace outside.” Said his other friend, shaking his head. “What time is it now, Din? Asked Rio. His friend who was called Dino answered, “The school has over. It’s time for leaving. You ditched all day.”

“Really?” Rio asked in dibelief. Both of his friends nods their heads and stretched out their notes and homework list for that day. They looked pissed off.  “oh well, let’s go home. Oh, and you said it’s hot today right? Let me treat you some drinks as a thanks.” Offered Rio while showing the notes from his friends. The both of them accepted his offer. Rio immediately ran towards the canteen. After the distance far enough, he came to a stop and turned around to looked at both of his friends. ‘Lily and Dino. The reincarnate of holly sorcerer and Mavios. Watch, I will make your lives now in suffer. As the revenge for making my past life in sufferings. Wait until the right time come.’ Thought Rio while smirking.

THE END.
