A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 96 The Suns Fate And The Moons Hope. [Bonus]

[Sometime in the near future] [Ravenna City, Capital of The Solari Empire]

A young woman with short, golden hair and beautiful golden eyes raced through the bustling city streets, desperate to make it home before her father discovered she had snuck out again.

The scorching afternoon sun beat down mercilessly on her, causing her brown skin to glisten with sweat.

Spotting her fatherʼs guards patrolling the street, she swiftly leaped onto a nearby building and utilized her sun magic to propel herself forward with great speed.

The girl soon arrived at the palace and snuck back into her room, only to find her father waiting.

He looked at his daughter, who kept sneaking out to buy scrolls, tomes, and spell books.

”Hemera, youʼre 18 now. Why do you still need to sneak out? The royal guard will escort you anywhere you want to go.”

She looked at her father without guilt and spoke.

”Pater, they treat me differently when I go with the guards. I just want to be treated like a normal person,” she said, giving her father a fake sad smile before sitting down on her bed.

Agamemnon watched his daughter and shook his head before standing up.

”Stop sneaking out, young lady,” he said. ”You can get anything you need if you only ask. Thereʼs no need to risk your life. Youʼre an imperial princess, not a commoner.”

He walked out of the room, leaving Hemera to her own devices. She grinned mischievously as she pulled out the tattered spell book she had found in an old shop.

Hemera opened the cover of the book titled ”Searing Smite” and began to read. After hours of studying, she finally mastered the spell.

It powered up whatever weapon she was wielding, causing it to burn with the heat of the sun.

Satisfied with her discovery, Hemera settled in for the night. The following day, she was scheduled to journey to the Taiga Forest for an academy exam.

As she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, higher powers intervened, showing her a glimpse of what her fate could be.

When Hemera woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar room. She soon noticed a handsome white-haired man standing on a balcony, holding a golden-haired little girl with the same brown skin as hers.

She approached the door, her elf ears twitching. The man pointed at a large group of wyverns flying by.

”Artemis, do you see those wyverns over there? They joined your Pater when I was just a boy, while I was sleeping in one of your other materʼs homeland. Actually, that was a couple of years before I met your mater,” the man explained.

He pointed further in the distance.

”Do you see that mountain over there? Your mama learned a new spell and destroyed it, scaring the whole domain.”

The little girl giggled, her violet eyes shining so brightly that they melted Hemeraʼs heart.

Thatʼs when she noticed Hemera and loudly exclaimed, ”Mamaʼs awake!”

As the man turned around, a smile spread across his face, and suddenly the scene shifted to a dense forest, leaving Hemera disoriented and unsure of her location.

However, she soon realized that she had arrived at the Taiga Forest, the very place where she was scheduled to undergo her hunting test as part of the academy.

In the distance, she spotted a group of people gathered, watching a fierce battle between a beautiful white dragon and a large Mountain Giant.

Three girls soared through the sky on a wyvernʼs back. One had blue hair, another sported short blonde hair, and the last one had vibrant bubblegum pink hair.

Suddenly, the blue-haired girl jumped from the wyvernʼs back and cast a powerful spell that slammed into the giant.

As she fell, the dragon caught her and placed her gently on his back. Meanwhile, the blonde-haired girl started firing mana arrows that pierced the giantʼs body.

The fight was getting worse as the giant threw the dragon to the side, and all the students who were watching started to run for their lives.

Hemera stood frozen in time, faced with a decision: to flee or help.

Hemeraʼs intuition told her that if she fled, the vivid dream she had would forever remain just a dream.

Remembering the image of the girlʼs joyful smile, she knew what she had to do.

[Larissa City, Capital of The Lunaris Empire]

Cloaked in a veil and trailed by a small retinue of guards, a young woman walked through the bustling streets of Larissa.

Her red eyes scanned the crowds until she finally caught sight of the shop she had been looking for.

The Arcane Apothecary.

Upon entering the shop, she approached the counter where an older man appeared.

”Welcome Princess, what can I do for you?” he asked.

In a soft and measured Lunarian accent, the Princess spoke up.

”I want to buy some Moonstone, Seleneʼs Tears, Mugwort, and Jasmine - as much as you can sell.”

The old man nodded and went off to collect her order. As he did, a young girl with grey skin appeared behind her, dressed in a maidʼs outfit.

”Princess Hecate, we need to head back to the palace. Your father wanted to see you before you left,” the maid said

She glanced at the maid, Eione, who had been by her side for years, before speaking. ”Weʼll go back soon, Eione.”

Not long after the shopkeeper returned with the basket of ingredients. She took out a pouch of gold coins and gave it to the man.

With a curt nod to the shopkeeper, Hecate turned on her heels and walked out of the shop.

Accompanied by Eione and trailed by her guards, she made her way back to the palace. The guards bid them farewell at the entrance.

Once inside, Hecate went to her private workshop and began brewing the dream potion she had discovered in an ancient tome from her fatherʼs library.

Itʼs meant to erase the nightmares but she wasnʼt hoping for much.

For years, she had been tormented by ceaseless nightmares of burning lands, dying people, and evil-looking creatures.

The visions haunted her every waking moment, leaving her on edge and unable to find peace.

Despite her desperate pleas, her father refused to take her concerns seriously, and no one else seemed to believe her either.

Hecate had earned the nickname ”crazy princess” due to her incessant ramblings about the impending doom that she believed was coming.

In her latest dream, a magnificent white creature descended from the heavens, bringing an end to the chaos that had plagued the land.

Hecateʼs father and Eione were the only ones who bothered to check up on her, as her siblings had shunned her.

After spending hours brewing the so-called dream potion, she cleaned up and made her way to the baths.

As she entered the baths, she began to undress, revealing her smooth grey skin and seductive, curvaceous figure, complete with a generously sized chest.

She stepped into the steaming hot water and sank down, then popped the cork off the potion bottle and downed its contents in one swift gulp, feeling its effects immediately.

The potion began to take effect, she felt herself slowly drifting off to sleep, the warm water lulling her into a peaceful slumber.

As she slipped into the water, Hecate felt herself drifting off into a dreamlike state, lost in the soothing warmth of the bath.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes to find a strikingly handsome man with white hair and mesmerizing violet eyes positioned above her.

At first, she was bewildered and unsure of what was happening, but as he thrust powerfully into her, she felt a pleasure, unlike anything she had ever experienced before.

His lips devoured hers with a ferocity that ignited a blazing passion within her. With each thrust, the flames burned hotter, and she was completely consumed by the pleasure.

She had never allowed herself to even entertain the thought of making love to a man, especially since she had been shunned and rejected for so long.

At that moment, as the man bit down on her neck, a bolt of pleasure shot through her body, bringing her back to the dreamlike state once again.

He continued to explore her forbidden garden with increasing intensity, causing her eyes to roll back in ecstasy.

The passion between them was so intense that it felt like nothing else in the world mattered to her.

She felt a sensation emanating from him, and her body felt like it was on cloud nine as something hot entered her womb.

When the man collapsed on top of her, Hecate quickly regained her senses and hugged him tightly.

He returned the hug and kissed her passionately, but the scene quickly changed. She found herself standing in a well-decorated room.

She heard the sound of giggling and turned her head. Her eyes widened as she saw two beautiful little girls sitting on a bed, staring at her with red and violet eyes.

The two little angels had the same grey skin as her with beautiful grey hair.

They stared at her with sparkling eyes, somehow she knew they were her daughters, Overwhelmed with emotion, her heart burst with joy as she rushed up to them.

She grabbed them, pulling them into her embrace, the little girl with violet eyes spoke as she hugged them.

ʼʼMater stop squeezing so hard.ʼʼ

She wondered who their father was. Then, the scene of her making love to the white-haired young man came to mind.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she smiled. The two little girls, seeing her crying, clung to her even tighter.

Suddenly, she was wrenched from the scene and found herself back in the bath where she had taken the potion.

Looking around, feeling disoriented and confused before letting out a deep sigh as she leaned back, closing her eyes.

She remembered the image of the young man from the dream, etching his violet eyes and handsome face into her memory.

Steeling herself with a newfound resolve, she rose from the bath and dried herself off, her heart filled with a new hope that her dreams would one day become a reality.
