CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
Just A Sign

Hanae's eyes were wet. He can't take it anymore. Living without Blessing means dying slowly. Hanae hated her useless self.

“Why did you stop me?!” hanae Protest. He's fed up. To him, it was meaningless to keep the bow that had come with his Blessings since he was a child.

“Quiet, Hanae!” Ellena still held onto Hanae's arm that was bigger than her. In fact, the girl's body was taller than Ellena's. How not, Hanae lives in an extreme place, which is Esaland. A winter country that never gets warm.

Esaland was able to freeze anyone who intended to pollute his land, but somehow Sinu seemed to have controlled the power of Esaland himself so that he wanted to do what he wanted to do, Esaland submitted to him.

“How can I calm down?! Losing Blessings means also losing your life, Ellie!” isak Hanae's. He felt sorry for his situation. “Ah, how do I say this to you who are not a Wolestrian being? In fact, you don't have any Blessings, so you don't know what it's like to lose your Blessings!”

Deg.

Ellena knows about it.

He understood what he was talking about despite sounding strange and insulting to Hanae who also became one of the strong human races in the world of Wolestria and very attached to Blessing.

However, it was not that Ellena did not understand Hanae's feelings being smashed to pieces after she got her curse. A Blessing will not work on a creature that gets a curse, but can't Hanae find another solution?

“Why did you give up, Hanae?!” Ellena tries to open Hanae's heart. “You are The Archer, a very superior Archer Girl! Then, why don't you trust yourself anymore and just rely on your Blessings?!”

Ellena's voice rose an octave for her sentence to be heard and reached Hanae's conscience. He wanted to make Hanae realize that the girl had been confined to one goal that limited her thinking, even though Ellena was convinced that Hanae the Archer Girl was more powerful than she thought even without the sign of Blessing.

“Berkah only as a sign and benchmark only. But your skills as the greatest Archer in the world are all you've got! Don't stick to Blessings that are just a sign!”

“Only be a sign?” Hanae's forehead shriveled. “Do you think Blessing is just that, Ellie?!” Hearing the sentence Ellena who seemed to think of Blessing as a low thing made Hanae mope.

“Yes, just that!” Ellena is really strong. Then, he showed the back of his right hand that there was no sign of anything there. “Do you see this, Hanae?”

Hanae's eyes stared at the back of Ellena's clean hand with nothing. It must be very painful if you don't have any Blessings, Hanae thought.

“Yes, I don't have any Blessings. But, I can go to school abroad.”

“School?” Hanae asked more and more questions.

Ellena realized that there were many words that she could not use at will in this world. “Ah sorry, my point is to study at a master.” Ellena tried to find a sentence that Hanae could digest.

The girl from Esaland nodded. He's starting to understand. Receiving a positive response, Ellena continued.

“Hanae, in my world, there is no such sign. But, we strive to be the best and carve out our own future by fighting so hard that it gives off sweat sweat. Many can change their fate by working hard. Just like me who comes from an ordinary family, but I can travel around the world!”

Ellena's two eyes sparkled, spirit. Yes, he was very excited to tell himself who had been struggling desperately to make his father happy.

“Humans on earth do not know the fate of each of them in the future, but we continue to strive for a better life.”

Both corners of Ellena's lips lifted. While Hanae was still listening and trying to understand the meaning of the words of the girl from the other world.

“Without Blessing, we can live, Hanae. In fact, even in this world, I am still alive even without Blessing and strength. This should happen to you, too, Hanae. The sign of Blessing that is born only gives you a clue that what you will become in the future. However, you must also try harder so that your Blessings can be realized in the future, becoming a part of you.”

Deg.

“Isn't you so happy, you always train yourself with that Blessing, right? And now, actually until whenever that Blessing is in your heart.” Ellena landed her hand on Hanae's chest, inside which was the girl's heart.

While Hanae was silent and still listening to Ellena.

“Break in your hand is just a sign. But that power is within you. Trust me, you are a great Archer Girl! Defeat the curse from your heart. Don't be affected by the curse of Emperor Sinu!”

“But, Blessing is not that simple, Ellie. I have to ask Queen Charlotte for help to free this curse.”

“No.” Ellena shook her head. “The only thing that can free you from Emperor Sinu's curse is yourself, Hanae. You just need to be confident that your Blessing will always be there and never be lost because it is your identity that describes who you are in this world.”

Once again, Ellena's smile expanded.

“Now, try again. Let's fight against the curse and prove your destiny, Hanae!” Ellena patted Hanae on the shoulder, channeling a strong determination at her new, worried friend.

Ellena's spirit thrust made Hanae's heart tremble. He also stared for a moment at the bow with the wood winding as a decoration. He was silent for a moment, gathering confidence.

Then, Hanae again raised her bow. He cast a spell from the bottom of his heart. He again pointed an arrow at the big tree a kilometer away.

Eyes squinting. He shot a point at one part of the trunk of a large tree. Hanae was looking for the right spot.

After scanning for a while, Hanae was ready. His heart cast a holy spell. Then, “Labere!” said Hanae which means ‘glide’ and instantly the arrow shot quickly.

Hanae hoped that her arrows would be on target.

A white light surrounded Hanae's arrow. It penetrates the trees, leaves, and bushes that stand in the way.

While Hanae's eyes only closed, directing her mind at the arrows she trusted so much. In fact, Hanae's spirit seemed to move to the arrow. He felt how the wind was being pierced by him.

In fact, he caught a glimpse of some animals who were shocked at the arrival of the dart crowned holy magic. Nature also seemed to support and support the motion of the arrow.

Whoa!

“A little more!” inner Hanae. He still closed his eyes firmly until his forehead wrinkled, he positioned himself as the arrow. His head twitched feeling the atmosphere around him. Passing through various obstacles to the end...

Sleb!

The arrow stuck exactly, as expected!

“I succeeded!” hanae Cheers. His eyes were wet, he had succeeded!
