The 5 Elemental Lord
Seeing mom for the last time
Zeno suddenly woke up in his room with a blanket on his body. Her tears were still flowing which she was still dissolved in sadness. “What is a dream? I hope mother's death is a dream anyway.” Zeno said so softly, he took in a breath so tight.
Turse who was nearby, finally sighed as Zeno woke up from his stupor. “Finally you wake up also mr.” He said by wiping his tears and not wanting to show his sadness, “I understand what it's like to lose a mother. Fainted? I've been like that too.”
“So this is not a dream? Where are those people now?” Zeno said in a high tone.
“They are doing a funeral ceremony to your mother.” Turse said not so heartily.
“What?” Zeno immediately stood up from his bed, he ran towards a private funeral of the imperial family which was right next to the park that was behind the imperial palace. Because he didn't want to miss the chance to see his mother one last time.
Turse who saw that immediately chased after Zeno, it might have been a few hours he was waiting for him. In addition, he also chose to wait for Zeno who had fainted from the shock that Turse himself said. Compared to attending Zeno's mother's funeral.
.....
“Wait a minute!” Zeno shouted before a land was thrown on top of his mother's coffin.
These people stop what they are doing. Allowing a prince to see his mother's last chance. It also felt very sad, even Fang Tan had to turn his face away just because he did not want the sadness that happened to his sister.
Zeno rubbed his face over the grave, seeing his mother lying on a wooden chest with a face so pale while wearing the dress of an empress who was worn during her time as the wife of emperor general Zhuo, although Zeno himself only knew that it was a dress used when he became the wife of his father who became emperor.
It felt a little heavy, even Zeno had trouble breathing because his nose was filled with mucus which made him so tight. But how else, this was all fate, even though it was so cruel to know that his mother's life was exchanged by an element of light to him.
Next to his mother's tomb, there are two tombs that seem so new. The tomb is nothing but the tomb of general Zhuo and also Fang Yoshi who died due to the incident at that time. Zeno also became even more sad and regretful when he did not attend the funeral of his father and grandfather.
“Zeno, I hope you can take it.” Hanzi Ares, or Zeno's grandfather from his late mother embraces Zeno, calming his grieving granddaughter to the point of protracted grief. Although he himself was also very heavy when he lost his beloved daughter.
Zeno faced upwards, smiling forcedly before his family that he could accept it, even though it was really very difficult. “Well I received it, immediately buried my mother's body.”
Zeno then left after the people closed the crate and placed the ground bit by bit on top of the crate. She left with no spirit at all, still crying and smiling forcedly on her face. With Turse appearing before him, smiling kindly before Zeno and trying to comfort him.
“So far from me Turse, give me time to myself.”
Turse mangangguk, he understood that Zeno needed time to mourn. It was impossible for him to meet face to face right now to discuss returning to the continent of Artrik. In addition, there are Aure, Nora and Selena who returned to the continent of Artrik first to follow the funeral procession of the emperor Aurrora, in addition, to that, he became a little more relaxed as Fang Tan said that Aure was leading the empire for a while. Although Turse himself is also not sure if Aure can? But maybe for sure it can, because Aure is the son of the Northern emperor who certainly taught a leadership.
.....
Zeno was back in his room, resting himself on the bed, covering his face with a pillow. He tries to calm himself down from the loss of his mother, trying to stop a cry by convincing himself that he is a man, which men must be strong.
Comforting herself made her cry. Losing the mother feels like losing hope of life, it feels, Zeno also wants to come to die after his mother. However, he felt, as if someone was stroking his head gently, he also heard that he had to stay to live. However, when Zeno opened his pillow and looked up, he found no one.
Zeno tried to wake up, remove the tears of his sadness and returned smiling. He also closed his eyes while speaking to his three beasts which might be able to dispel his grief.
“Do the three of you know the pillars of the element ruler?” Zeno asked which one of his eyes was red with too much sadness in front of the three beasts.
“You mean Ert, Leght, Winder and others? Why sir?” Skarlos asked softly, for it was inappropriate to say in a high tone to someone who had just been grieving.
“I just met them.”
“Really?” Azure frowned, “I hope they don't make you sick.”
“No, it was precisely before they tested me until I got the strength of each of them. So that I can master and control the five elements that I have. Wait a minute, you guys don't know that exam for me?” Zeno.
Hearing this, Kiba, Skarlos and Azure smiled happily between their animal faces. Now, their master had become the ruler of the five elementals as they had been waiting for. So, what they did was congratulate Zeno on making Zeno look happier again.
As they expected, Zeno wiped his tears and returned a smile after his beasts tried to comfort him. Even his heart was a little more relieved when he could smile happily.
“Serious sir, but I never knew the test before. Maybe the pillars planned it when we haven't bounced back.” Kiba raised his voice.
“Now, those ruling pillars said that the plan was made when I got the first element, it happened five years before you became my beast, so the goddess Luna also still existed before she disappeared five years later.” Zeno.
“Five years before I became your beast?” Kiba thought for a moment until he finally shook his head, “No, I just got up one month before becoming your beast.”
Unexpectedly, Azure as well as Skarlos fired one of their techniques towards Zeno. It made Kiba surprised and shouted, “What do you do to mr.”
With so young, Zeno extended his hand and grasped slowly, that the technique released by Azure as well as Skarlos simply disappeared as if bowing to Zeno.
Zeno stared at his two beasts so cynically, he knew what Azure meant and also Skarlos did that. “Do you guys want to test me?”
“No, I'm sorry sir, Skarlos brought me.” Azure said accusing Skarlos.
“Hey you're an earthworm, why are you accusing me. Aren't you the first one who wants to test the power of the lord lord?”
Seeing Sakarlos and Azure fighting, Zeno closed his eyes with a smile, “You guys, are you going to be a fighting beast inside my body? That doesn't matter, at least you guys can become familiar back.”
“There-there's just a way you guys to entertain sir.” Inner Kiba.
