"The land here is private property that is impossible to sell. Dozens of people have tried to buy the land but always fail, even offering prices up to thirty times the price of the land around them. After all, yesterday who was whining forced to watch the horse race in Lyon ..." It was clear that Hime didn't want to be blamed, automatically making Teresa and Rita speechless.
"You should thank Hime for bringing us here. Is it okay for us to come here, Hime? Isn't this land private?" said Petra as his eyes glanced across the coastline.
"Not Petra's beach. But private property is there, starting from the old courtyard and then stretching to the hill." Hime pointed at an old house a hundred meters away from where they were standing.
"Are there residents, Hime?" asked Rita investigating and curious.
"Nothing. But once a month there will be a housekeeper who comes to clean the old house. I also wonder, why don't they renovate the house and just clean it?" said Hime, sighing full of questions, no matter who it was shown to. Nobody knows the story of the Apion coast better than Hime herself.
"That's right, you said Hime. There seems to be something strange from your story just now. And why are there some trees next to the house that seems burnt, do you know how the story goes?" Teresa investigated, pointing to several dead olive trees not far from the house.
"Have you ever heard the story about the element control legend?" Hime asked his friends then looked at them one by one as if he was finding out which of the three of them knew the story.
"Not," answered Petra, Rita, and Teresa in unison.
"Really? Even though the legend is often told by parents to their children before going to bed. Or maybe not everyone knows?" said Hime feeling curious to himself.
"Our parents have been busy working since I was a baby. And about Petra, he's an orphan, right?" Rita replied representing the three of them.
"All right. I'll tell you the bottom line. In the past, before Mestonia became an independent and sovereign country like now, there were island natives whose lives were spent keeping the island safely. They were elemental controllers. Not only limited to water, fire. , air and land but several other elements that exist on the island. Uniquely, not just anyone in his lineage will inherit the power to control an element. Only those who are selected and capable will get this power. Nobody knows who they are and where they are now. Are they still alive or just a legend. Only that old house remains a silent witness to the ferocity of the ruler of the fire element, who is said to be the last ruler of fire." Hime's story is full of passion.
"That sounds like a folk tale in the literature of World History class just now? What's more, everything you just told is too impossible to happen in our lives, Hime. There is already a God who rules the universe. Why should there be a superhuman-like elemental controller?" said Rita, who is known for his critical and rationalist mindset.
"Like at the beginning, I said that the story is only a bedtime fairy tale. What I think is strange is people your parents who never knew about the story at all. Even you Petra, should a smart student like you know that story even though it's only a bedtime fairy tale? "Hime said. The girl turned her gaze towards where Petra stood the farthest from the three of them and was amazed at the person Hime insinuated, apparently not listening at all. talks.
Petra, who had stood still since she saw the old house, against the backdrop of a burning olive tree, remained silent as if she couldn't believe her sense of sight. Petra sharpened her eyes, making sure that the old house painted ivory that was peeling off here and there was not a two-story house like the one in her dream last night.
However, no matter how hard Petra tries to convince himself who tries to compare the two houses from dreamland and what is currently in front of his eyes whether there is something different or exactly like an aging duplicate, then disbelief is the answer. This time Petra couldn't believe her eyes at all, as if Petra was still in bed with the blanket on the floor and cold sweat pouring down almost all of her body.
Then, the question is why this is the first time Petra has had such a terrible dream. Did Petra's parents ever tell him about the legend of elemental control when he was little?
However, why did the dream that Petra had last night seemed real and had happened in his past life? It was as if the dream was a piece of Petra's past that he couldn't remember very well. Petra did not understand, how could it be possible that since he was a child living in Finelan, he could spend his childhood in a house he was seeing in Lilibel.
The next question is, why did Uncle Jon and Aunt Mia never tell him about his childhood? They prefer to keep quiet and change the subject when Petra tries to ask about her parents?
...
In the end, the golf tournament ended, delivering Steven as the first winner while Lyon only entered the top ten in the first round. Steven has to hold back a smile for the rest of his day and that only makes Lyon more annoyed and sick of having to be with the young man who is the youngest son of the Hartson family, one of Lyon's father's good friends.
Another tiring day Lyon has passed, and soaking in the private bath at the family resort is the best option. Because, in the evening that is only a few hours away, there will be a party to hand over the medals to the winners of all competitions and categories. It is a tradition of the rich that Lyon finds strange and a waste of time. At least Lyon's precious time must be wasted as an ambassador for the Levi family, where he is trapped in the city of Lilibel with a witch named Lisa, who is none other than his only older sister.
"Hey, Lyon. Can talk for a moment," called Steven after not many people were around them.
