Revenge

Alissa's POV

I slowly opened my eyes as I felt the dazzling sunlight meet my face. The weight of my feeling and I could feel the coldness of my body even though I was already wrapped in a thick blanket.

"Young miss Alissa?" I looked at the familiar woman who called me.

She's Lina, my personal maid. "Hmm?"

Lina looked at me almost with tears in her eyes. "You're finally awake"

I slowly got up and at the same time a towel suddenly fell from me. I looked at the towel before looking at Lina in surprise.

"Young Miss Alissa, you have a high fever, so I had to put a wet towel on her lately" I suddenly looked at Lina.

"Past days?" How long do I sleep?

"You fainted after kneeling in front of the palace young miss. And because of that, you lost consciousness and your fever was high for three days"

Gradually I came back to remember what had happened. I remembered kneeling in front of the palace then I suddenly remembered why I did that.

"D-dad, what happened while I was asleep?" I noticed that Lina's eyes suddenly became sad

"Sad to say young miss, but the hanging of General Knoxx will continue. There are those who have testified and given proof that General Knoxx is planning to revolt"

"That's bullshit! Father would never do such a thing, he is very loyal on serving our country! It's obvious that they just framed up papa because they want to oust papa from office" I was held tightly by my blanket.

My father, General Knoxx. Is one of the greatest general of all time. He never loses a war against the enemies of our nation and he always puts the welfare of the people living here in the kingdom of Bauxacel first, which is why the people have great respect for our family. But all that honor and success brings envy to other noble families.

"Didn't anyone help and tell the truth?" I asked Lina.

Our family has made many friends in the past. The Knoxx surname has a big influence especially on military power because we are a race of generals.

"There are many who want to help general knoxx, Young miss. But it's hard to fight the Royal family" said Lina who widened my eyes.

"Royal family? They did it all?" I asked him.

I suddenly remembered Luke's last words. 'Stop it already, you can't do anything'

Is Luke also behind all this?

"No one knows young miss, But I have a strong suspicion that the king is afraid because of the size of the influence of the Knoxx family and he is afraid that at any time the throne could be taken from him so there is a good chance that he is the mastermind of all this "

I suddenly laughed to myself. To think that I knelt in front of the palace for three days to beg the king to help my father but he was also the mastermind of everything. How cruel. The king and the crown prince luke, doesn't deserve to be the ruler of this nation.

"ALISSA!" I almost jumped in panic when I heard mama's voice from the door.

"Ma" I smiled at him.

He ran towards me and hugged me tightly but I was suddenly surprised instead of happy because when I woke up mama suddenly cried.

I pulled away from her embrace and looked into her eyes that were now red and swollen and I was sure she had been crying before.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

Mama shook her head before smiling at me sadly. "Yung papa mo alissa, today is his execution"

Suddenly I was stunned and tried to understand what mama said. I suddenly stood up and walked straight out of the room when mama suddenly stopped me.

I tried to pull my arm that mama was holding but she tightened her grip on me even more. "Let me go, I'll go save father myself"

"There's nothing right Alissa can do, this is the decision of the king himself" cried mama said.

I bit my lower lip. Lina was right, it was all the king's doing, and I wouldn't be surprised if she also conspired with Luke to refuse to help me.

"Then I'll just kill him" I said even though I knew in myself that my ability was weak and I had no opponent against the thousands of guards protecting the royal family.

"Alissa" mama pulled me up and held me in both arms. "Promise me you won't do anything stupid"

I didn't say anything, I couldn't promise him that I would do nothing and just watch them kill papa who did nothing wrong.

"Alissa" mama called again. "Please, if you find out, maybe I'll lose you too"

My bite was pressed to my lip before I slowly looked back at mama. "Promise me, you won't do anything"

"I can't just let him die" I said. My tears are already forming.

"me neither, but we can't do anything now. It's too late" Mama hugged me tightly. "Even your dad's friends in high positions didn't do anything ... So please Alissa, I don't want to lose you too"

I buried my face in mama's chest and nodded. I won't do anything ... for now.

"The execution will happen in two hours in the middle of the plaza ..." My hand went numb when I heard where the execution would take place. In Plaza De Rinos, the execution of those accused of treason is often carried out where the whole town can watch the execution.

"I'll go" I said before parting with mama. I want to see the events in person. I want to see who are the people who have the courage to watch papa executed without feeling guilty.

Mom sighed. "Alright, but I can't be with you. I can't see the events"

I nodded to him before entering the cr to take a shower and get dressed. When I came out, I saw my idiot mama still in my room while sitting on my bed.

I approached mama and said goodbye before hugging her tightly. And I had no idea, that was our last meeting.

I approached mama and said goodbye before hugging her tightly. Little did I know, that was our last meeting.

~~~~~

There were already a lot of people in the plaza de rinos when I got there. I had no one with me other than the two guards that my mother had brought with me.

I went to the very center of the plaza where there was a high stage that was actually made for use in hanging. I don't know how much blood has been spilled in this area as long as I know it's too much for the color of the blood to spread on stage.

I looked around and noticed a crowd of people. I tried to peek at what was there and I realized it was the Royal family surrounded by royal guards. Here is the king and the four princes and three princesses.

I suddenly stopped walking when Luke and I caught sight of each other and we stared for a few seconds. The heartbeat quickened especially when Luke suddenly stepped closer but he also suddenly stopped and looked away.

I was suddenly bored with myself. I should be angry with him, I should be angry with the whole royal family but here I am now, eager to throb because of Luke's simple look.

My attention was caught when I heard a noise from the stage and there I saw three men in chains being dragged by the palace guards. Dad was one of three men in chains.

People started making noise and what hurtful words they uttered but I didn't care. I quickly approached someone on stage and called papa.

Dad stopped walking and looked in my direction. I felt like people were looking at us but I ignored that. Dad whispered something to the guard next to him but I didn't hear much because of the noise of the people around us. All I heard was what he said. "For the last time"

I noticed that the guard nodded before he brought my dad to me. "Alissa, you shouldn't have come here"

Shake shake me with him. "I will get you out of here"

I said even though what my mother told me not to worry about echoed in my brain over and over again.

"We can't do anything now Alissa, It's too late" she sighed.

My fist clenched as I watched the now emaciated dad. The former radiance in his eyes was gone and his former confident posture was gone.

Father was a very good fighter and magic user. His element is Earth and water and his magic power is level 7. There are only ten creatures that have reached level 7 and two in level 8 so papa is one of the most powerful magicians in the whole kingdom of Bauxacel. But despite the strength of his power, he is here now and awaits the coming death.

Dad held my hand and wore me a blue color mixed with a green bracelet. This is the bracelet he always wore and he never took it off as if he was terrified of losing it.

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but I have a strong feeling that the perpetrators may be affected by you"

I suddenly felt nervous. Papa is right, there is a high possibility that the enemies will target us to get our wealth especially if papa is no longer the head of the knoxx family.

"Use this bracelet to protect our family, I don't have time to explain everything as long as you just remember. On the full moon, throw that bracelet in the moonlight and that will take you to a world that will give you have the power you need to protect the family- "

Before papa had finished what he was saying, I suddenly heard Lina's voice.

"Young miss Alissa!" I turned to lina who was now gasping for breath running towards me. Her hair and clothes were messy but I noticed the blood stain on the hem of her dress the most.

There was fear in Lina's eyes. "Young miss, we have to leave. They're going to kill you, they're going to kill the whole Knoxx race"

Suddenly my whole body went cold with fear and shock. "What do you mean-"

"I knew it, GO! Alissa stay away and save yourself" papa interrupts what I'm saying.

"Where are they mom?"

"Madam ordered me to take you away from here miss Alissa, and we have to hurry until they don't know where you are" said Lina.

"W-wait-" I stopped what I was saying when the people suddenly became upset.

People started shouting and running away from the plaza. I looked around and searched for the cause of the commotion and my eyes widened when I saw the turned black men with masks killing whoever passed by.

"Who are you? Why the f*ck are you doing this?" I could hear Luke's shout as he was currently fighting the blackened men.

"We are here to rescue our leader General Alen Knoxx" said one of them. There are twenty men in black and they are all at least at level 5 in power so it's not that easy to knock them out.

I noticed Luke turned his attention to my behavior and our eyes met before he turned his attention back to the enemies. Suddenly the surroundings lit up because of a lightning that repeatedly hit the air black men and resounded a series of thunders.

Light element. One of the rarest magicians on the face of the earth and Luke was one of the lucky ones to receive that power.

I turned my gaze to papa. "Do you know those black ones?"

Dad was shaken. "No, it's probably a member of the uprising against the royal family and I'm just using excuses to cover up who really planned it"

"Let's leave until-" I didn't continue what I was saying when suddenly something exploded on the stage causing me to sit down and hold the head. Fortunately, I was a bit far from what was blown up, so apart from the burns and scratches, I didn't receive anything else.

"Alissa! What are you doing ?!" A shout from Luke was the last I heard before the light enveloped me.

~~~~~

Alissa's POV

I slowly opened my eyes as the light gradually faded.

I was in a large land full of white flowers that seemed to glow because of the light coming from the round moon.

I don't know where I am now and what I can face but I won't get anything if I just stand here so I started walking. But before my foot touched the ground full of flowers I was suddenly stopped by a voice that I did not know where it was coming from.

"Stop" I looked around and looked for where the voice was coming from that I could not figure out if it was a woman or a man.

"Who are you?" I asked in the mysterious voice coming from my brain.

"I'm the one you came here for" was this economical answer that made my forehead frown even more. I don't even know why I'm here.

"You came here for power to protect the people around you and avenge those who died for you" it continued which made my eyes widen.

"How did you know?" I asked him who he laughed at. "I know you more than you know yourself"

"Can you correct me? What do you want from me? Who are you? And what are you?" My next question.

"Calm down child ... You will soon find out ... But first, you need to save yourself first"

"What do you mean?" I asked but before he could answer I noticed that the white flowers around me began to fly.

I heard the laughing voice coming from my brain before it spoke. "Good luck"

When he said that, the flowers all over the land where I was suddenly turned red, which made my hair stand on end because it was the color of blood.

The flowers came together and formed a large wave that was about twenty feet high. The big wave covered the moonlight so the surroundings became dark. I bit my lip before running into the wave and it met me as well.

I prepared the water barrier that surrounded my body before running even faster closer to the wave of red flowers. Just a few steps between us, I suddenly jumped up and went straight into the wave. The flowers flew that I hit and only now I noticed that its edges were sharp which scratched various parts of my body.

I moaned because of the pain of the scratches but I also immediately ran when the gathered sharp flowers suddenly separated and began to surround me.

While running away from the flowers that were constantly chasing me I stumbled a few times due to the roots in the ground moving in motion and accidentally knocking me down.

"Hey! Voice coming from my brain!" I cried when I realized I couldn't fight these aggressive flowers alone.

"What a nice name to call me" laughed a voice from my brain.

I no longer have time to be annoyed with him because I continue to run from the chasing sharp flowers and roots that forcefully curl around my foot to make me walk.

"Can you help me?" I asked in a voice coming from my brain. I had no choice but to ask him for help.

"My, my, Alissa ..." I was suddenly startled when he called me by name causing me to lose focus and break into one of the roots on the floor. I fell to the ground so the roots had a chance to wrap around me.

"You're not as weak as you think Alissa, focus and you will know the extent of your power"

"F*CK! Just f*cking help me!" I said in disgust as I struggled and struggled to loosen the veins that were slowly wrapping around my whole body. I also noticed in the distance the aggressive flowers getting closer and closer. I can already see every sharp corolla (petals) of every flower and I'm sure it hurts.

"Fine, fine" said the voice before suddenly something shone in front of me. That light was blue mixed with black that stopped and scattered the flying flowers and the roots that were trying to wrap around me. I took advantage of that opportunity and slipped out of the veins before raising my right hand and gathering toward it the magic flowing through my body.

From my fingers in my raised right hand flowed water which swirled around me. I noticed that the flowers started to cluster again so I was suddenly nervous and lost focus. "Focus Alissa ... Take a deep breath and feel the flow of the water element coming out of your blood"

I obeyed what the voice said coming from my brain. The skill I am doing now is the ultimate skill of water users. I have never done this skill in my entire life so I lack confidence and self -confidence. "Focus, alissa, focus ..."

I took a deep breath and focused on guiding the magic flowing in my blood to the very tip of my finger. When I felt the spell complete I quickly looked up and slapped my hand on the floor.

Simultaneously with my hitting the floor was the explosion of a ball of water surrounding me which drove away every plant around me. I gasped as I looked up and realized that almost nothing was left of the once flower -filled land. Even grass or any root you will find nothing in the vast land.

"I ... I did it" I said in shock as I stood up weakly. This is the first time I have done the ultimate skill of a water user.

"Nice! Although you needed my help, you look cool doing that ultimate skill" a voice compliments my brain.

I looked at my hands in shock and couldn't help but smile.

"You have defeated the flower spirit, Achillea" said a mysterious voice in my brain.

"What? Flower spirit?"

"Yep, you fought a flower spirit recently and since you defeated her, you can now obtain her powers! Cool right?" The voice almost kept telling me in my brain that I had to cover my ears.

Before I could ask what he meant suddenly something shone in front of me. It was a white flower floating in front of me.

Before I could ask what he meant suddenly something shone in front of me. It was a white flower floating in front of me.

I hesitated to touch it but when my skin touched the shining flower it suddenly disappeared and at the same time as it disappeared I suddenly had markings (tattoos) on my wrist.

The markings are blue-violet flowers and it surrounds my wrist like a bracelet. (Same as the picture attached to this chapter)

I gently stroked the markings on my wrist as I could feel the strong power flowing in my blood. I stopped when I noticed the flying blue-violet flowers surrounding me.

I reached for the flying flowers and was surprised when it followed every movement of my hand. "Can I control them now?"

"Yep" answered the voice in my brain.

I almost stared in amazement as I controlled the flying flowers. Each petal of the flowers is sharp so it is good to use in fighting.

"Who are you really?" I will ask.

There was a moment of silence before I heard the mysterious voice again. "You can call me Anna, the goddess of butterflies"

"Where is this place, Anna?" I asked him.

"You're inside a magical bracelet now" I nodded and just now I realized that the bracelet that dad gave me was no longer on my wrist.

"Only half of my soul resides here inside the bracelet so I don't have a physical body" Anna continued.

I nodded. "Alright, how can I get out of here?" I asked because after all, I got the power of the flower spirit so I can return.

"Not so fast Alissa" Anna giggled causing my hair to suddenly stand up.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"You're on the first test Alissa. There are two tests to go through" Anna's words repeatedly echoed in my brain.
