In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

185 A dark fairytale

A solemn funeral is being held for all the victims of the false infection. Anne was sitting with Nathan and Leo, outside of the MoonSun temple. Leo tried so hard not to cry. He was a mess. Anne even needs to drag him from his bunk bed so that he can join them at the funeral.

She holds his hand, trying to comfort him, even for a bit.

“Stop it, Anne, I was trying so hard here.” Whispered Leo at her.

“You can do it, I’ll be here for you, Leo.” Said Anne, her hand now holding tight to Leo’s hand.

The MoonSun temple is the main temple in the Valorian kingdom, while some people like to say plural words for God, which means that they worship more than one deity, and if they just say some singular word, meant they worship the main deity only. The MoonSun God is the main deity in the kingdom of Valorian. That’s why every funeral and wedding is always being held at the MoonSun temple.

The temple priest begins to sing the black melody, the song to honor the dead who were passing into the afterlife.

“To the Gods, to the MoonSun, where all of us will submit and go,

For the honors of the Moon God, the bride of the Sun God, hear our wish, save them from despair,

To the Gods, to the MoonSun, when the time has come for us,

.....

For the love of the Sun God, the groom of the Moon God, protect our being, guide us to the path.”

Everyone hears the chant that will be delivered to all the victims. Anne saw the empress was with prince Jason for today. They are sitting on the high balcony, listening solemnly to the chant. It seems Justice is still on his journey to find the clue. Anne knew about the journey when Kirara came to her room in the barrack. The direwolf was waiting beside her shack while she was in the middle of planting some herbs.

Finally deciding to join the garden club, and was able to acquire two medium planters for herself. She wanted to make an herb garden for her need to brew her own medicine. Kirara caught her when Anne was in the middle of enjoying her time planting some new herbs.

‘Miss Anne.’ Said the familiar.

Anne was screaming. She turned around quickly to see the direwolf sitting beside her shack. “Oh, my God! Kirara! You almost gave me a fright!”

‘I am sorry, miss Anne, but my master wanted to give you a message. He will leave the capital to find any clues about his brother’s disappearance.’

“Oh, Justice was leaving the capital again? seems like he was never inside the capital for more than a week.” Anne was chuckling, trying to make a joke, but she remembered, whenever he was on a journey, danger always came lurking, “Just… Just tell him to be safe, alright.”

‘Yes, miss Anne, and I do have one more piece of information for you.’

Anne was intrigued. “What is it?”

‘Sir Vale will join us for this expedition, along with king Edward.’

Gasping, and enrage, Anne curses when she heard the news, “What?! Oh, that stubborn magi!” She raised her hand to Kirara and rushed into her shack. She comes back with three sets of vials to Kirara. “Please, can you bring this for Vale and Justice? This one Vial is a sleeping drought so Vale can get into a deep sleep, while these two are tonic for Justice and Vale.”

Kirara tilted his head comically. ‘How am I going to carry these, miss Anne?’

“Oh, by using this!” Anne brought a bundle of cloth that she then put on Kirara’s neck. “Now, I trust you can carry this safely, Kirara?”

‘I… I really hope I will, miss.’

A smile bloomed on Anne’s face. She brushed into Kirara’s soft fur and even gave him a hug. “You will succeed, Kirara.”

That was two days ago before she go back to her shifts. Now, she doesn’t even know where are Justice and Vale were, and only hopes that the two of them will be alright.

“I always hate this song.” Said Nathan to her.

Anne turned her attention to her senior. “Why? Because it was for a funeral, senior?”

Nathan shakes his head. “Not really. It was more of a morbid curiosity of mine about the legend of the MoonSun.”

“Legend? What legend?” Now, this is something that Anne never heard before.

“More like a fairytale than a legend,” Said Nathan to her. He tried to remember the details of the story. “You know that the Moon is the bride of the Sun, right?”

“Yes, when the two of them join in one, the new kingdom of Valorian emerges. We study this at the primary school.” In fact, this is the first knowledge that Anne had gotten in her days as a student in this new world.

“Yes, but there was actually a dark rumor about the story, some sort of dark fairytale.” Nathan explained to her, this time he was more excited than before, “In this dark fairytale, the Moon actually trying to leave the Sun.”

“Why? Because she was fed up with becoming Sun bride all the time?” Said Anne with a bit of joking around.

Snorted, Nathan was grinning for a bit, “No, not because of that, Well, Moon probably left the Sun because Moon doesn’t want to be Sun’s bride anymore,” Nathan said to his junior, while they were still trying to focus at the priest, “But, not because Moon was fed up with Sun, but because Moon was in love with someone.”

“Oh wow, a love story? Really? How classic.” Now, she mixed sarcasm for a bit.

“Not this time, it wasn’t a happy ending, because when the Sun knew the truth, the Sun then banished the Moon and cursed the Moon to walk the life of a condemned without even knowing how to love, or even feel.” Nathan’s face turns to Anne, and he dramatically said, “The End.”

Anne was shivering. Somehow, this dark fairytale was getting into her more than she should. Both of them went quiet for a while. They tried to focus on the procession instead, and when the funeral was over, she go back to her shift, somehow trying to forget about the fairytale that she was just heard earlier.
