THE PENANCE: THE PEBINOR
The Extra Part III

Such a dark night in the drucless world. The dim red moon was as if it was watching the drucless world.

The Kingdom of Ventalla looked dark as it was 131 years ago when it cursed Goddess Amiles.

In several villages in the Kingdom of Ventalla, there are moving statues. Slowly the drucless who were cursed into stone turned back into the drucless as before.

"Mother."

"Dad!"

"My son!".

They hugged tightly. But, there were still some drucless villages that were still stone.

It appears that Prince Zael's penance was successful.

Arnav who came to the world of drucless smiled to see the drucless back to how they were. He also saw the forest that entered the territory of the Kingdom of Ventalla changed as before. Where animals and other creatures have also returned to roam.

He went to Ventalla Palace to see the situation there.

However, everything seemed to be still the same in the Kingdom of Ventalla. Nothing has turned into a drucless.

** Flashback **

Prince Zael gave Arnav a scroll. "Give this scroll to King Zeroun."

"Okay, Prince!" Arnav. The man rode on a horse and left the Kingdom of Ventalla to fulfill Prince Zael's mandate.

While Zael looked at Arnav who was getting away and disappeared behind the trees.

** end Flashback **

Arnav looked sad. "It's not fair, why don't I become a rock like them. Even though I have no family, I feel sad to see my friends like this. I'm sure Prince Zael feels greater sadness than me."

After returning from the drucless world, Arnav meets Zael and says what he saw.

"Thank God" said Zael. Arnav bowed then left Zael alone.

Zael stared at the beef steak on the plate he had not touched at all.

** Flashback **

Several human bodies lay covered in blood in a room. The bearded middle-aged man sitting on the chair smiled cunningly at something glittering in the darkness. The sparkle came from the drucless golden armor that now appeared showed itself. None other than Prince Zael Arvanendra with a sword in his hand.

Prince Zael knitted his brows. "Galad, this is not your world. Back to the drucless world!"

"Prince Zael, by killing the human race you will be punished by Goddess Amiles, you are not afraid?" Ask the middle-aged man named Galad.

"You will also be punished for killing humans and performing forbidden rituals" Prince Zael lamented.

Galad knitted his brows. "That's my business. You're too involved."

"Where are you hiding Zoya?" Ask Prince Zael.

Galad pointed towards Prince Zael. The man frowned. He turned around and saw the beautiful girl looking sad.

"Zoya's."

Galad moved from his seat. Suddenly he teleported towards Zoya. Prince Zael was surprised. Galad has possessed Zoya's body.

The girl smiled cynically then spoke in a heavy voice, "I've planted a diamond inside Zoya's body. That way, his body is my host from now on."

Zoya attacks Prince Zael. There is a fight in which Prince Zael can only resist and avoid Zoya's attack. The man could not hurt the girl he loved so much.

Zoya yells and pulls Zael's hand and sticks the sword into her own stomach. Prince Zael looked at Zoya with a pushy look.

Zoya smile. "I'm sorry."

There was a voice shouting Galad. The red diamond fell to the floor. Immediately, Prince Zael took it.

Zoya's body turned to ashes. Prince Zael was crying. "Yeahya!"

** end Flashback **

Zael got out of his chair and walked up the stairs to Nalesha's room. The girl forgot to close the door. Zael came in and covered the girl's body.

"Be human."
