16 years ago, Dolla's funeral was attended by a large number of people, but after hours and hours had passed, only one person remained at her tombstone. Ereadus stood alone in front of Dolla's tombstone, his shoulders shaking with silent sobs.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfqZbJQHgh
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq10l344aWr
Ereadus - I always thought you were the bravest person alive.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuNCcO3gA1
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn4K21Fok8
Ereadus choked out, his voice barely above a whisper.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0YekYWyKK
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjJdKML6K8
Ereadus - You liar... You lied... Why did you have to die? You had so much more to teach me... And I fell for every word... who knew...279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuJv77Ur4V
I can't even look at our daughter without seeing you in her. I had to lock her away in her own room because of it. What am I supposed to do now, hm? I HATE YOU FOR LEAVING ME! You've changed me... forever.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHjm5TAUBZ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJj68E1J49
Ereadus fell to his knees, his fists clenched tightly as he let out a guttural scream of agony and despair. He remained there for hours, until the sun began to set and the shadows grew long. Only then did he rise, his face etched with grief and determination. He knew what he had to do.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUnQ2oRrgb
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdksuEEDDK
Ereadus - Here you are. I did it. I brought you back to life, just like I promised. But now you're just a puppet, controlled by my magic. Look at me. Look at my eyes. They're dead, just like yours. I've become a monster, Dolla. I've hurt our daughter so many times. She's covered in scars, both physically and mentally. I've destroyed her. And it's all because of my obsession with bringing you back. Hope you are happy.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwdtdZXBr2

When Lunadea arrives in the town her heart sinks as she realizes the gravity of the situation. She knows she has to do something to help, but she is not sure what she can do against such overwhelming odds.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUr66zUZox
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMkabG4Q78
Lunadea - Ethan, what are you doing? Why are you just standing here? We don't have time for this. Look around you. People are in trouble and we need to do something about it. Please, talk to me. What happened to you?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFamOIrwFY2
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXwOOTb1sB
Ethan's eyes were fixed on the figure of his deceased father, still standing on the battlefield as if he had never died. The shock and pain of seeing him again was too much for Ethan to bear, and tears began to well up in his eyes.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCxoAppOkD
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO6GAV2NQk
Ethan - That's my dead dad over there.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5w856oJJf
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEOv5W3mw5
Lunadea's eyes widened in shock.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFCYGRG9jn
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqbu997etR
Lunadea - What? The guy we fought at the castle? Nevermind that now, please. We need you if we have any chance of winning this fight. Please, stop him. I'll go fight the other one that's destroying everything. Can I count on you?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuohV7WihN
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNVCMS3iFn
Ethan took a deep breath and nodded. He couldn't let his pain and grief consume him. There were lives at stake, and he had to do everything in his power to protect them. He wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up, ready to face the enemy once more.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lOGULIBh1
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuiQ8XbFiw
Ethan - Yes, you can count on me. Let's do this.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF6xdOmSUC
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVsjVGQtuq
Lunadea left Ethan's side and headed towards the ice queen, Dolla. As she approached, she saw that everything behind Dolla was on fire, but the area around her was shrouded in a cold aura. Each time Dolla struck the ground with her sword, a pillar of ice shot up like a needle.Lunadea studied Dolla's eyes and saw that they held the same emptiness as Ethan's father's had.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6wUTORWXt
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGecTFwleU
Lunadea - By the look in your eyes, I can tell that you're also an ex-dead person, just like Ethan's father.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtFWHxilHn
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhRWa8M2ln
Dolla - ... D-D-D-D279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4kutUuYF0
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN79olTzwww
Lunadea - You can talk?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7w0wmSrAM
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30D1deyCAv
Dolla let out a stuttered response279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xjByLG9b3
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlgpH0TF7m
Dolla - De-De-Dead...279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyGWaj4QGz
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPuzkBzFNf
Lunadea's heart ached for the woman in front of her. She could see that her empty eyes transformed in pain and confusion eyes. But Lunadea couldn't let that distract her from the task at hand. She had to stop Dolla and the other enemies from causing any more destruction. She tightened her grip on her sword and prepared to engage in battle.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MLMRdJmHK
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMHuRBAgc2
Dolla was a master swordsman, and she was pushing Lunadea to her limits. The only thing keeping Lunadea alive was her movement; her elegant, but at the same time balanced and agile movement, allowed her to avoid being hit by Dolla's sword and ice needles.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDERaJ5HcGu
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzBSbmp9Nm
The battle between the two women was majestic to behold in the night. Lunadea's sword of fire cut through Dolla's ice needles, and her palm of fire stopped some of Dolla's ice attacks, making the battlefield glow in the night. It was a sight to behold, and both women were giving it their all.But despite Lunadea's best efforts, Dolla's superior skill and strength were starting to wear her down. Lunadea was panting and sweating, her movements becoming less precise and more frenzied. She knew she couldn't keep this up for much longer.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAy9bQ5U5O
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy2AtLbT1I
Lunadea - I can't believe she's this strong. I never stood a chance here. What do I do?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi44y67hJK7
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkkb5OXwY0
But just as Lunadea was starting to lose hope, a voice called out from the distance.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1keZVZbAU2

Sammy - EREADUS!!279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ395wrOeloD

Lunadea - Watch out, guys. She's very strong.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Sxkb5hBB
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVZXavFdbH
Sammy - Of course she is. She used to be one of the strongest Shadomins, rank 1. That's the ice queen Dolla, Ereadus's wife.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMqSHdhop6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchvhWJmb0i
Everyone was shocked by this revelation, but the most shocked was Mangetsu. You could see the pain on her face as she started to tear up.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyL9HiPs0Z
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOGNi4XLPx
Mangetsu looked at Dolla with a pained expression.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAkSVKEDj9
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Ie9jDuRm
Mangetsu - That's the girl I always see with a bright smile on her face. But now she's not smiling anymore. What happened?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwSqaZh46L
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClJhkiSlMN

Mangetsu - That's my mom? I have a mom?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc0cAA7Imt
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQghNky5CK
Sammy - See what you've done to your own daughter, you monster?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbPtxQoxrS
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvXvCph79W
Ereadus - You made a big mistake bringing her here, Sammy. Dolla, take the girl and bring her to me.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9iiVHEUxq
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes2N48ovId
Sammy - Not anymore... I promised her...279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8HaKE9yEi
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqwWR3SUHN
Sammy looked at Mangetsu's face, her confusion and pain as she tore up, and he knew he couldn't allow that to happen. He disappeared and reappeared in front of Ereadus.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNbbLgGqqt
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKaebOOX3g
Sammy - You will not touch her anymore.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUQgjhBR1L
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkZfkVXq6N
Ereadus - Dolla!279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY048Roean
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JPqhnFRWH
Dolla immediately surrounded him with a barrier of ice needles, protecting him from harm. Sammy tried to break through the barrier, but he was unable to.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVEYQ5FORO
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMOU5uvgg2
Suddenly, Dolla grabbed Sammy and threw him away with great force. Just before the impact, Sammy disappeared and reappeared beside Lunadea and Dorian..279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKU4NwYmjt
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVqRYHlaS5
Sammy - We need to do something about the village and the undead around here. Dorian and I are the best to fight her. We're the fastest, and we can keep away from her attacks. Lunadea, do you think you could help the guard fight everything else?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZMCi8bNi7
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBVnRDSZ2I
Lunadea hesitated.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVU83sbxRK

Lunadea - Are you guys sure?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraP2OcWaGo
