35: TESSA AND AVALANCE BAG 2

TESSA AND AVALANCE BAG 2

Avalance and Tessa are in a relationship long enough even after they graduate from magic college. After graduation, they became a military force in the Southern Region.

That day, Avalance intends to apply for Tessa. Ignis was the first person he came to tell his plans. He approached Ignis who was at home.

"Sister. I want to say something" Avalance said.

"This shack? What is it, Avalance?" Ask Ignis.

"I want to propose to Tessa" Avalance replied.

Ignis laughing.

"Already expected, just wait for the time about it. All right, I'll help you get everything ready" Ignis replied.

"I'll get everything ready soon. Come to the park tonight with him. Tonight everything will be ready" continued Ignis who smiled at his sister.

"Thank you, brother" Avalance replied.

"Do you have the ring?" Ask Ignis.

Avalance took out a ring box from his pocket to show it to Ignis.

Ignis nodded.

That same day, Avalance took Tessa to many places until in the afternoon Avalance prepared to take Tessa to the city park to propose to her. It was already dark by the time the two of them reached the city park.

The park is filled with hundreds of colorful torches, lanterns, and many other accessories that illuminate the park. Many of their colleagues also watched in the park. Without being told, Tessa already knew which way this would go.

Avalance took the ring box out of his pocket and opened it. Only one word came out of his mouth.

"How's it?" Ask Avalance.

Tessa nodded, and Avalance then attached the ring to Tessa's ring finger.

Ignis looked at his sister from afar with pride.

A few months later, they finally got married. Unfortunately, their relationship must be separated by death one year after their marriage.

That night, the Chaos Dragon appeared and started attacking in the city. Ignis and Avalance fought in the front row. However, there is not much they can do. Initially they intended to buy time until the residents of the city managed to evacuate.

However, the Chaos Dragon made arrows out of hundreds of thousands of arrows from the darkness element and then rained down on the city with it. It made the whole city crumble.

Avalance could only pray that his wife managed to evacuate in time. Chaos Dragon roared loudly, a sign of the actual battle just beginning. After fighting for quite a while, only Ignis and Avalance remained from the troops.

It amazed the Chaos Dragons and gave them immortality. However, they also obtained curses that harmed them as well. Avalance gets a curse where the surroundings will always snow from the sky.

After the Chaos Dragon was satisfied and finally left, Avalance immediately searched for his wife in the refugee shelter. No matter the curse that makes the snow fall wherever it goes.

Unfortunately, he did not find his wife anywhere in the shelter. Avalance then immediately returned to the city and searched for the ruins of his house that had collapsed due to the Chaos Dragon.

There he saw Tessa's lifeless body right in front of his eyes. He sat down and cried in front of his wife's corpse without caring about the snow that kept falling around him. Ignis could only see from a distance without daring to approach Avalance which was definitely full of grudges with the Chaos Dragon.

"I'm sorry, Tessa" said Avalance, hugging Tessa's cold corpse.

At that time Avalance had completely lost almost everything. His lover, his partner, even his treasure. Thank goodness he still has his brother.

Avalance's life became increasingly ruined after he was exiled from the Southern Territory. The residents consider him and Ignis to have failed to protect the Southern Territory, plus the Avalance curse is deeply troubling to the population.

After a coup, Ignis went to see Avalance in the Northern Territory to remove his exile and join Ignis. However, after learning what Ignis is doing and his new ideology makes Avalance disagree.

This upset Ignis and now considers Avalance his enemy as well. Now Avalance has completely lost everything. His girlfriend, his brother, his hometown. All has been lost.

However, Avalance did not give up. He was lucky because his curse had no effect in the Northern Region because the area was indeed filled with snow.

He started everything back. Starting from being a soldier in the Northern Region.

Slowly he went back to the top, maybe now he has nothing. However, he did not want his brother's ridiculous ideology to materialize in the country. Avalance served the region for 50 years

After fifty years, the childless King chose Avalance as the King of the Northern Region.

However, over time Avalance began to suffer for his immortality. His colleagues are now aging, and not a few are dying of age. That made Avalance tired.

There is a stage where Avalance is too tired until he decided to stop looking for friends and choose to become a loner leader until now.

One day, Avalance took a walk in the city in search of fresh air. Just then he saw a thief stealing fruit from the market, everyone was chasing the thief. However, somehow Avalance felt pity and wanted to help him. Before the residents intended to beat up the thief, Avalance came and dismissed them.

"Stop, don't you realize that you're going to beat up a kid? You can't act that way" Avalance said.

"But, Sire. He is a thief!" Reply to one of the residents there.

"I understand that very well. However, everyone deserves a second chance" Avalance said.

"I'll take him to my castle" continued Avalance.

"But, Sire. What if he steals your treasures?" Ask the people again.

"Tarta is not everything to me. I've already lost many things that are more valuable than just treasure" Avalance replied.

Avalance approached the boy and was surprised by the child's appearance, which was very similar to his dead wife.

"What's your name, son?" Ask Avalance.

"Tiana" he replied.

"Tiana's a beautiful name" Avalance replied.

"Thank you" Tiana said.

"Follow me, Tiana" Avalance replied.

A few years from then on, Tiana ended up being the Castle's butler. Tiana took care of everything. While Avalance is still shutting himself off from people he does not want to go back to losing friends. It is better that he has no friends.

However, all that changes when Indra, Misha, and Miller visit his castle. Avalance understood that his new friend would also leave one day. However, he felt different when he was with the three people. Avalance finally ventured to re-friend the people after nearly a century of distancing himself from the word "Friends" Avalance knew that the day of separation would always happen. However, somehow he did not feel like it would happen when with Indra, Misha, and Miller.
