- Chapter Three
- “No, you are human, just that you are now more than human, you can think faster than the genius, you can run faster, plan better, fight better. In fact you are now, a healer, a professor, a Doctor, a Magician, a Martial Artist, a Cultivator. Just name it, you are far better right now, and nobody, I meant no one on Earth right now could defeat you, even guns, tanks, bombs, are useless against you right now.” Queen Lola said all together.
- Lucas was taken aback, he had no idea about what he had turned to, at least he had more power than before, and he can avenge his killer.
- “But how was all of this possible?” Lucas asked still looking so confused.
- Queen Lola smiled first, then she replied. “That is because you are now reborn, and a whole race now reside inside of you.”
- Once again Queen Lola swallowed her saliva, and she continued. “The Blue Elves were special, hence we have different people with different abilities, we have our healers, we have people who handle our finances, we have engineers, we have our fighter, and even there are magicians and cultivator too. Just to cut it all short, our community was no different from all other being created by the creator.”
- Lucas was silent and could only nods his head at interval, at least from what he gather from his previous life, Human was not the only being in the galaxy, moreover Earth alone was not the planet that support life, hence hearing it again from Queen Lola, he could only nods his head in agreement.
- Queen Lola continued. “So the power and the rage, and the knowledge, and the power of an entire race now reside in you, and that made you different and more powerful than every human on Earth.”
- Lucas nods his head first, and then he said. “Then what about the previous owner of this body?”
- “He is dead; He died happily knowing that he was free from this world, now he is on his way to Paradise.” Queen Lola replied.
- “So what do I do now then?” Lucas asked again.
- “Continue to live as Lucas Charles, love your wife, cherish your mother now, embrace your new life, and live it to the fullest, fight those who fight you, yet don’t become too proud. Forget your past life, and live this new life now, you are no longer the nameless Kid of before, you are Lucas Charles now, you had a wife and a family now.” Queen Lola said all together.
- Lucas as well agreed with Queen Lola, at least that actually was his thought in the first place, to live as Lucas, and avenged his offender using Lucas identity, but now, after Queen Lola warning, he decided to forgone his past, and live very well right now, and that he was going to do from now on.
- Queen Lola moved closer to Lucas. “Can you do that for me?”
- Lucas smiled and nod his head. “I will surely do just that.”
- Queen Lola also smiled, she was happy that she was free right now, though the era of the Blue Elves with all surely be gone, yet she knew that there legend remained inside of Lucas Charles.
- “Thank you Lucas; I only have one request from you.” Queen Lola said.
- Lucas became alert. “Hopefully it’s not what I won’t be able to do.”
- Queen Lola shakes her head. “When you have your babies, please name one of the boys Ola, and one of the girls Lola.”
- “That is your name and your husband right.” Lucas said.
- “Yes. I do hope it’s not too extreme.” Queen Lola said in panicked, she was scared that Lucas would reject he, at least she cannot forced him to agree, he could only prayed that he agree with her request.
- “I promise before Heaven and Earth to give in to your request, my first children will be named after you.”
- “Thank You Lucas. Don’t forget all my warning, no one could defeat you on Earth, but once you turned evil, you will he crushed forever, not dying and not living too.” Queen Lola said finally. Suddenly she began to dissolved, fragment from her body dissolved into that atmosphere, yet her gaze never left Lucas, until she was gone forever.
- Immediately, Lucas found himself back in the forest once again. Lucas knew that he was not dreaming, because he still remembered Queen Lola face and aura in her memory.
- Lucas get to work, he gather lot of stone and erect three Tombstone, with nothing to write, he decide to tried out his power, he began to write with his finger on a huge stone, to Lucas shock, it was simple as writing on the sand. Lucas smiled and continued writing.
- On one of the tombstone, he wrote “To a man who live his life well, worthless to the world, yet a hero to one special person, give up himself for another to live, you shall remain immortal in that man life, rest on.” Clearly that was for the real Lucas Charles, whom he now reside in his body.
- On another he wrote something short. “Immortal King, lovable husband, saviour of his kind.” Clearly that was for King Ola, Queen Lola husband, though he never see him, yet from Queen Lola, he knew that King Ola was a good King.
- When it is finally for Queen Lola, Lucas became hesitant on what to write down, he looked at the erected tomb for a second because he was just confused on what to write, he wished to pen down about Queen Lola grace, yet he also wanted to write about her beauty, her braveness, her love, even her patience.
- For more than a minute, Lucas was still looking at the stone, finally he wrote. “Words are short to describe you, a lovable Princes and a Mother, till we met in afterlife.”
- Lucas erected each tombstone, he bowed very low three times, and then he stood up and began to climb the cliff which the previous Lucas fell down from.
