-1 The Fallen Realm (1/2)
*Three hundred years ago*
An imperturbable night solemnly struck within the Heavenly Realm. The moon begun to shed its light innocently together with the billions of stars twinkled upon the Kingdoms. It should be another kind of countless nights.
The mothers should be singing a lullaby to their children now, even after the tiring day. The fathers should be snoring loudly just like the other days, caused by their selfless works. While the children should be sleeping soundly, playing on their dreams, hugging their cushions as if they had a long day. The youth should be visioning themselves in their sleep, must be one of the great cultivators, or maybe an immortal. The nobles should be sipping their wine, enjoying the taste of their power and wealth. The Kings should be planning for another day again though a load of works today must be enough for their whole week.
Yet each living entity even the royal blood families from different kingdoms bowed their heads on the ground, pleading for their life, shamelessly asking for mercy, crying for the common good. An hour had passed but it was still a peaceful night as ever. So some were already on their feet, whisking off the dirt from their robes. But a blistering heat of wind passed in their body. Each and everyone warmed as the numbness spread in their body. The moon suddenly turned into a ball of blood followed by the stars. But this wasn't the thing which everyone afraid of, it was the horrifying misery that was about to bestow upon them.
”Immortal Goddess, please spare our lives!” they all cried, pushing their heads on the ground even more. Then some of the immortal gods and goddesses showed up in each kingdom, guarding the clans.
”Yue'Ai, why do you need to go this further? You will be the next empress of Sky Kingdom, how could you act repulsively in front of your subjects.” the emperor of Sky Kingdom echoed in the whole realm.
”I will be the next empress but before that, I am a wife, a mother! Or should I say, I was and that's because of the Sky Kingdom and these subjects you're talking about!”
”Yue'Ai, it was the fate of your husband and your daughter-”
”No, you killed them! All of you! You ridiculed my daughter, you threw your sharp words on my thorn-back and this led my daughter to end her life. My husband was tormented by our daughter's death, he tortured himself until he lost his breath. Now, how can I let it pass and sit as your empress? Tell me!”
”Yue'Ai!”
”Immortal Goddess!”
”You treated the existence of my daughter as the lowliest being in this realm. I shall give back the same favor.” There was a cold wind passed upon them but everyone didn't feel it because they were dumb as they slowly raised their heads. The sky was dripping blood, showering each and everyone was unutterably horrifying for them.
