Chapter 19 The Impostor

Amaryllis' right arms are gone and she’s still lying unconsciously on her bed while Kealla still healing her wounds.
“It would be hard for her if she wake up knowing that she doesn’t have her right arm anymore. Poor Amy…”
Kealla said to her while she’s holding her tears from sliding.
Tota can’t accept that Amaryllis would experienced such hardships.
Seeing her friend being incomplete hurts her a lot.
“I can’t take this any longer!”
Tota blurted.
She stepped her feet out of the room and runaway.
Her friends tried to stop her but she was too fast.
“I hate this! I hate myself! If I didn’t fainted that day, Amaryllis will never lost her arm! It’s my fault! I’m so sorry Amy!”
Tota blamed herself.
While she was crying, a black witch stopped her from running.
Her name was Jean, she was a black witch living in the Kingdom of Freiah, her daughter was missing and she asked for Tota’s help.
She refused to help, but when she looked straight into her gleaming eyes, she changed up her mind and help the lady.
They searched the whole village for Jean's daughter until they got to find her under a tree, sitting peacefully while reading a book.
Jean thanked Tota for her help, and she wanted to repay her.
Tota remained silent but Jean could hear the words she’s screaming inside her heart.
She sensed that Tota wanted to return Amaryllis' arms.
Jean hold her hands and smiled.
“Don’t be sad. There’s a way to bring back her arms again…”
Tota’s eyes widened when she found out that the lady knew what’s in her heart.
“B-But… How?”
“Listen…”
The black witch named Jean informed her that there was a rare water in the moutain of Arenes.
She told that the water healed her broken fingers back then and if Amaryllis will drink it, her broken arms will return again.
Tota was filled with hope again.
She thanked Jean for everything she said.
While Amaryllis was still unconscious, Tota asked for Caner’s help to accompany her to the mountain of Arenes and he didn’t think twice to help her.
Along with Titee, they flew to the said mountain where they could get the water that could heal Amaryllis' broken arms.
“Hey, Tota…”
“What is it?”
“Where did you hear that information?”
“To a black witch.”
“What? Do you think that we can trust her?”
“We have no choice but to believe and have faith, Caner.”
“You’re right.”
But, when they landed on the ground, the intensed mana nearby welcomed them with doubt.
As Caner tried to walk forward the place, Tota quickly stopped him.
“Wait…”
She looked around and searched for some enemies.
“Do you bring Adbeel’s sword, Caner?”
“H-Huh? Y-Yes…”
“Be prepared…”
The whole mountain was disturbed for no apparent reason, the birds suddenly flew until the sun was obscured with unidentified flying creatures.
Caner was so scared, he can’t tamed himself but to strangle Tota’s arms.
“H-Hey! Don’t touch me like that!”
Tota blurted while her face turned red.
A woman in black shows up in front of them.
Tota noticed that she was so familiar.
“Huh? It was Jean!”
They saw Jean in the middle of the forest, wearing black dress but her face was seemingly different.
“Actually… My name is not Jean…”
The black witch smirked.
“I’m Hella…”
“What are you saying, Jean? By the way, is your daughter with you?”
“Oh? That kid? Actually… she’s not my child. I just ate her earlier.”
It turns out that the black witch they encountered earlier was Hella who just pretended into someone else, she was a black witch who has dark magic inside her as well.
“W-Wait… So.. you mean? You’re lying about the water that could heal Amaryllis?”
The black witch nodded then laughed at her.
“You’re a fool to believe that!”
“How dare you!”
The truth is, the mountain where they went was Hella's home, it is fulled with skeletons, blood, and nothing but death.
“I’m hungry again… I want to eat something delicious just like this human…”
Hella pointed her finger towards Caner.
He widened his eyes and tremble with fear.
In just a moment, the black witch transformed into a gigantic black snake which is more longer than a tree.
Tota protected Caner from the monster.
“I should’ve known you better!”
Eventually, Hella casted her spells to manipulate the place, she separated Caner from Tota and take Titee away from them.
After a minute, Caner woke up inside a cage.
He tried to find Tota but he can’t spotted anything, not even her shadows.
He wanted to scream at the top of his lungs but he sensed that the black witch, Hella, was around.
On the other side, Tota woke up under a dead tree, where the leaves are falling and the thorns were pointy.
“Caner! Where are you! Titee!”
Tota think that if Amaryllis was in her situation, she may be find a way as quickly as possible to survive, but, now, there are no Amaryllis that will going to save them all.
Tota lose her faith and instead of fighting back, she just cried and pit herself stuck in the corner until a woman with blue hair and spock’s ear shows up and gently tapped her head.
While on the flip side, inside the cage where Caner was caged, he heard a very familiar voice of a woman, quite close to the place where he was.
He ran to find that voice, the thick sweat formed on his forehead until he found a girl with a blue hair, blue rheumy eyes with a pointy spock’s ear.
“A-Amaryllis? Is that you?”
Caner asked the girl.
Without their knowledge, everything was set by Hella.
Everything was faked, the cage, the dead tree and even the girl who copied Amaryllis was a big lie.
They are unconsciously dreaming and Hella was manipulating their brain, she cast her spells to create fake scenes inside their imaginations.
If the impostor would managed to make them believe that they are real, Caner and Tota will never wake up for the rest of their lives.
Beyond the boundaries, Caner and Tota was slowly attracting to the impostor whose copying Amaryllis.
“I love you, Caner.”
The impostor said to him.
“Really? Is that true? You’re not inlove with Adbeel anymore?”
“Yes, I realized that you’re so worthy to me…”
“Am I dreaming or something, Amaryllis?”
The impostor touched Caners face and started to cling onto him.
Caner sensed that something smells fishy about her.
Her hands were cold, compared to Amaryllis' warmth.
“I love you, Caner.”
Caner strangled his sword and stared at the impostor with a poker face.
“Amaryllis… Will never cling to me like that! Impostor!”
He stabbed the copycat until her body collides and turned into ashes.
The Corazona guided Caner to find Tota.
“Caner, break that stone and you will find your friend…”
He followed the voice until he spotted Tota slowly approaching the impostor in front of her.
“No! Tota! She’s not our Amaryllis!”
Caner swipe the impostor and destroyed it using his sword.
After killing the impostor, the two finally woke up in their own bodies and regain power to strike the enemy.
“I will break her bones and she’s going to pay for fooling us!”
Tota blurted.
“Let’s go!”
They take turns attacking, after Tota almost breaks Hella's necklace, she realized that it was her weakness and they have to aim and destroy it.
“Caner! Her necklace! Destroy it!”
He run towards Hella and grabbed the necklace.
He destroyed it using his sword.
“No!”
After her source of strength were crushed, Hella's skin gradually wrinkled, her face grew old, until the little white worms and the black blood came out of her body.
For a moment, it seemed that she turned into a sticky blood and her clothes only remained.
“She’s dead… What about now?”
Caner asked Tota.
Tota lowered head and fainted on the ground.
“Hey… what’s wrong? Are you alright?”
“All I wanted is to help Amy… But, now… we lost Titee… and we didn’t get the water that could bring back Amaryllis' arms.”
Caner realized that Titee was not with them.
“She’s still alive. We have to find Titee.”
On the far side, they both heard a thin voice screaming their names.
“Who’s that, Caner?”
“I don’t know. Let’s see.”
They followed the voices and they found a girl with red curly hair and brown doll-like eyes.
“Master!”
The girl applauded and hugged Caner.
Tota’s eyebrows lift up seeing a new girl flirting with him.
“H-Hey! Kid! Who are you?”
“I’m Titee! Do you forget about me master?”
The both of them was shocked after realizing that Titee transformed into a young girl.
“Is that you?”
Tota asked her curiously.
Titee handed a bottle of water to Caner and started clinging onto him again.
“H-Hey… Titee… What’s this?”
“Titee get it on the river, the dwarfs helped Titee and said it would heal Amaryllis.”
Titee said to him.
Caner and Tota looked at each other and smiled.
He pat Titee's head and thanked her.
“We need to hurry now, Titee. Can we go home now?”
“Alright, master!”
From a cute little girl, Titee transformed into a red vulture again.
They both ride on her back and return into the Kingdom of Freiah.
“Hey, Caner…”
“Yes?”
“How did you know that it was just a impostor?”
“Well, no one could copy Amaryllis. Definitely, no one.”
Tota smiled and nodded.
When they returned to the Kingdom, they found that Amaryllis was still laying on bed, sleeping peacefully while Kealla secretly watching her behind.
They let Amaryllis consumed the water and her broken arms gradually returned again.
Tota cried because of joy.
“I’m sure that her strength will return tomorrow and we will see her smile again.”
Kealla assured them.
