If they thought no storm could stop the joy of the Thallerion king, they were wrong! The chapter of Thallerion's novel does not end there, like a volcano that continues to erupt from deep within—it will explode in the end!!!
The storm brought by Moonatoria flared up again, roaring from afar accompanied by galloping horses that caused fear among the people. Every movement created dust from their arrogant arrival. Their weapons were eager to taste the blood of the Thallerion.
Before the war happened, during the king's reign, the nation of Moonatoria repeatedly haunted Xerxez's father; Moonatoria's threats were ceaseless, like flying arrows that would strike Thallerion. But in Xerxez's eyes, he did not see the threat of war on his father's face; instead, he saw only a mask of pretense. Even though the kingdom was busy, everyone kept their mouths shut.
King Hedromus of Moonatoria is recognized as a violent king throughout their nation's history, and the Moonatorians believe he was blessed with immense strength from the gods of heaven or from the ferocity of Ursa. However, the king proved that his skill did not come from any other being; instead, he showed us that he was not an ordinary king comparable to most.
Moonatoria was the first to light the fire, which was thrown into the middle of the forest, where Thallerion's bitter fate against Moonatoria exploded. The fire consumed the entire forest, creating the smell of defeat and the spilled blood of soldiers wearing armor the color of the queen's pubes—just fuel for the hell created by Moonatoria.
Gasping trees could be seen from the intensity of the blazing fire created by clashing shields. No one can tell the future. Even the sun veered off and twisted in fear of seeing lives destroyed by war. But, amidst the war, the loud shout of Moonatoria's sword emerged. Is this what we feared would happen to each of their lives?
Xerxez still vividly remembered how the people screamed, parents pulling the cold corpses of their children's bodies, trembling while crying for justice. The groans of dying soldiers, clutching their last breath, were deafening. How long would Thallerion's bleeding continue?
That war awakened Xerxez from the lie of peace he had embraced. Xerxez was young then, but he wept, clutching a dagger; his father had given it to him for defense. Xerxez did not yet know that weapon because of his parents' embrace. But when his mother and father were slain, he truly understood the urge of a weapon in the world. But may the day never come when the war continues to the next generation, and may the day never come when Xerxez becomes like the oppressive Moonatoria!!!
"The king of Thallerion is dead!!!" declared King Hedromus, the king of Thallerion had a sword wound in his chest. "The queen of Thallerion is dead too!!!"
That was the last war that caused great sorrow to Xerxez; the fifteen years of his parents' embrace he would never feel again. When his parents perished, all of Thallerion was devoured by the fierce bear; the king's blood relatives immediately fled. Xerxez was taken away, dragged towards the Wendlock forest, a place not covered by the shadow of the king of Moonatoria.
Later, Xerxez's relatives built a fort in the Rigil district, so that King Hedromus could not trace their scent; they built a small town there that, even now, has become the dwelling place of a few Thallerion—a camp for Thallerion's military and soldiers.
As the sun and moon chased each other, the people waited while praying that one day a valiant Orion would come to reclaim them from the Bear's hand. But some of them were tired of believing that Orion was real, believing it to be merely an old people's fiction—if it were true, why were they abandoned in the midst of war?
