1 Prologue of The Lolis Tears Floods Blue City Arc (2/2)
The morning's gentle light pass through the only window of the poorly decorated room, it illuminates a trembling opened hand, which is holding a small glass vial that contains some yellowish liquid substance.
Suddenly, as the devil's soft whisper, a resentful voice echoes through the room: ”Hehehe… I can't stop myself from shaking... Of course, it can't be helped, after all, very soon, I'll be able to tear apart his heart… Hehehe…”

Somewhere, in a closed room.
*Drip*... *drip*...*drip*...
Drops of blood fall to the floor from a table that glows slightly with a mystical dark blue light. On the table there are thirty-seven swords, also emitting mystical light but this is white, all of them are penetrating the body of a naked young man.
Some swords are nailed in his arms, others in his legs and most of them in his trunk.
The face and body of this mysterious young man seem to be eighteen years old but his bright, deep violet eyes seem older, much older... almost eternal. Oh, his eyes, so mature, so overly mature that they've turned into two rotten things, so long ago, oh, his eyes, unrivaled with others in their abilities to harbor loneliness, pain, sadness, melancholy... anger and hatred. Those eyes, oh, those eyes that are able to create poets on a whim, oh, those eyes which are always shining desperately with a light of something that has gone far beyond the madness.
Suddenly, the mysterious young man begins to move slightly to breathe in the oxygenless air, this action causes him to start bleeding more profusely. Then just as he finishes breathing in, his hoarse voice fills the room.
”Larana... larana... He's coming, he's close. He comes alone, he comes wounded. He comes walking, he comes staggering. He comes carrying the pain that he wants to share...
Larana... larana... Escape flying, while you still have your wings. Escape running, while you still have your legs. Escape swimming, while you still have your arms. Escape crawling, while you still have your chest...
Larana... larana... Because when he arrives, it will rain tears. Because when he arrives, it will rain blood. Because when he arrives, the earth will be burned… Because when he arrives, the skies will be broken...”

Rose leaves completely alone the Clouds Cutter Castle.
Meanwhile, on a high wall, two goblins are seeing how Rose's silhouette becomes more and more distant.
”So it's true. Rose Al-- No, I should say just Rose, she has finally been discarded by her family because of her uselessness.” A young voice sounds, in a mocking tone.
”It's like you say, young master Ben.” This time it's a mature voice. ”*Sigh*... but it's a pity, to think that such a monstrous talent that shocked all the Four Great Families of The Broken Earth Kingdom has ended in such a sorry state.”
”Ha! Pity!? It was a gift from the heavens that she has been stuck in the First Level Initial Awaken! If she had continued to grow in strength at that rate back then, the enemy kingdoms would have acted and the delicate balance of the war would have been broken. That would have started a total war with a completely unpredictable outcome!” Ben represses his subordinate for his light words.
”Of course, I understand that. Excuse me for speak without thinking first, young master Ben.” The subordinate responds quickly to apologize.
Ben nods lightly. After a few moments, he orders to his subordinate: ”Send Dani Zelu, tell him: Follow her from afar to avoid being noticed by some possible protector that the queen could have sent.” At this moment, on the face of Ben, a sinister smile appears, his eyes become ones full of malice, and he then continues speaking: ”Once we confirm that Rose has no protector, we will be entirely sure that the queen has forsaken her, at that time I will abduct her and let her become my little toy!”

Rose is walking towards the North Port of Flowing City, she walks through wide streets that are always full of the bustle caused by the civilized races, the domesticated monsters, and the domesticated vegetable monsters.
Rose feels happy to see that on the streets of Flowing City each and every one of the twelve civilized races could be found living side by side in harmony, which by the way are: elf, elemental elf, war elf, human, shadow human, monster human, deliaf, goblin, dullahan, harpy, gargoyle, and gorgon. At least they're all the civilized races that Rose knows that still exist on the world.
Being alone against the world and just carrying a backpack with some changes of clothes, some medicines, and a few gold coins. Without knowing what kind of future this road will lead her to. Despite all of this, Rose can't bear to continue walking anymore and begins to run, to run harder, to run faster than ever before. While a dazzling smile blooms on her beautiful face and her curly red hair flutter in the wind, her heart is throbbing hard full of impatience to see the world that she had met only in books and dreams.
