Chapter 147 Letter II

"What is it? What does that letter say?" Alva questioned feeling a bad feeling from her reaction.

Ressha clutched the crumpled piece of paper in her trembling hand, her heart pounding like a jackhammer in her chest. She had just been rescued from captivity by Alva and a group of courageous girls that witnessed the hell hole she was in, but the contents of the letter she had found were making her feel sick to her stomach.

As she looked up at Alva, her eyes brimming with tears, she knew she had to tell them what she had just read. The words on the page were like poison, seeping into her mind and clouding her thoughts.

"Guys, you won't believe what's in this letter," She said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Alva and the others gathered around her, their eyes fixed on the paper in her hand. Ressha took a deep breath and began to read and explain the content, as it was hard for others to understand since they didn't have the required knowledge to understand it.

"This means that goddess and other high-level beings are not the compassionate beings we think they are and we should be careful of them."

Ressha felt sadness rising in her throat as she continued to read the letter. The words were like daggers, stabbing her over and over again as all the content in the letter challenged her beliefs.

"Does that mean goddess doesn't really care about us? Why would Eldora leave this in her hands?" Alva questioned.

"Well, let's just say that she predicted that if someone can reach Ressha, it would probably be after her death and she wanted to relay this message to whoever that is,"

Ressha's hands shook as she reached the end of the letter. She looked up at Alva and the others, her eyes filled with fear hearing their discussion.

"What am I going to do?" She asked, her voice barely audible.

Alva put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"We'll protect you," she said, her voice firm.

"No matter what happens, we'll keep you safe."

Ressha nodded, her eyes still brimming with tears. She knew she had to be strong, but the thought of what was to come was almost too much to bear.

"Ressha, tell us about everything you know, we want to know even the smallest information you have," Zenda came forward and questioned her, as she was reminded that they have a very limited time.

Ressha knew that what she was about to reveal would change everything they thought they knew about their world and it was the royal family secret that dark elves carried from generation to generation.

"Thank you for rescuing me," She began, her voice steady despite the weight of her words.

"But there's something you need to know about the history of our land and what happened really in the past,"

The girls gathered around her, their eyes fixed on Ressha as she began to speak.

"Long ago, there were two genders that lived on this land: the females and males, In every race, they had males and females according to the book," She said.

"We lived in harmony for many years and provided for each other and depended on each other, but then something happened. A powerful heavenly announcement was unleashed from heaven by the goddess, and it corrupted the female hearts and asked them to kill their own males be it their baby, husband, father or brother, "She paused for a minute and continued.

"Because of this males began to fear and hate us, and a war broke out."

Ressha paused, her eyes filled with pain as she continued.

"The males were powerful, and they pushed us back to some extent. But we refused to be defeated. We fought back with everything we had and we had the support of the fairies of goddess Artemis, and in the end, we emerged victorious from the battle and erased the males from our land."

The girls gasped in shock, their eyes widening as they realized the magnitude of what Ressha was saying.

"But the cost of our victory wasn't great," Ressha continued.

"We lost so many of our own in that war. And when it was over, we had no way to reproduce and some women went crazy because they had to kill the love of their lives and another war broke out but this time, it wasn't against races but people started rebelling against the goddess, they wanted to know why they had to kill their own future like that, they wanted a reason"

Ressha continued her story as everyone in the room felt like this was the most absurd thing they heard after Nikol was the son of the goddess.

"Humans, Elves, Dark elves, Demons and Beast people, almost every race started rebelling against the goddess, but like a miracle, seven fairies out of eight of them surrendered to us telling their decision to kill men was a mistake," Ressha said and looked at Tisha.

"Your ancestor was the only one, who didn't join this rebellion because, unlike normal elves, high elves were believed to be servants of the goddess directly only inferior to fairies," Her words caught Tisha off guard.

"For the sin of killing fairies, the world punished us, our memories about males vanished from history and we started reproducing when we pray to the same goddess, who killed our men,"

These words of Ressha were like heavy blows to people like Zenda, Tisha and others, who believed in goddess but after witnessing everything that happened to them, even their faith started wavering a lot.

"How do you know all this? If our memories got tampered by the world?" Zenda questioned, and she was interested in knowing about this book, which claimed to be the source of Ressha's knowledge.

"My bloodline is not the real royal bloodline, the book which had all this information was written by our first queen, who killed herself, because of the sadness of killing her whole family, since she wrote it before brain tampering happened it had most of the information, but next queen from my bloodline restricted this book, but she never destroyed it, she felt the content was true so it was passed on by generation to generation, but we were not allowed to read beyond some pages," Ressha explained why she didn't know about some information.

"I was foolish, I taught the language needed to read this book to my girls and Eldora found this and read the whole thing, she knows things I don't know and this note belonged to one of those pages," Ressha said while dropping the paper on the floor with her whole brain is trying to wonder, why she was stupid enough to teach something so dangerous to a rebellious girl like Eldora.

She knew why she did that, deep down she wanted to end this curse which kept haunting them, deep down she wanted to share her burden and end their cursed future.

"Damn it! So our goddess was the one responsible for all the things," Lydia couldn't help but curse remembering everything they had to go through.

"Is that all you know?" Eva asked.

"No, it is the beginning, there are a lot of things like the information about the other races, but I don't think-" She couldn't even finish her as everyone looked at her like she was some kind of prey.

"What do you know about mermaids? and their leader?" Lydia questioned.

Ressha looked at them surprised, but since she wanted to genuinely help them she closed her eyes and thought for a minute.

"Sea races also joined us to fight with fairies, normally Queendom of Oceanica is controlled by either mermaids, whale folks or krakens, but I don't know about the current queen," Ressha said hoping it is enough for these girls, but she obviously saw the disappointment in their eyes.

"Not enough information, I'm really angry about our real history, but my current priority is Nikol," Lydia said and tried to leave thinking this was waste of time when it comes to rescuing Nikol, but Alva suddenly asked another question.

"Do you know a woman with white hair and blue eyes? she was really beautiful and powerful"

"Hmmm," Ressha closed her eyes and thought for a minute.

"White hair! Blue eyes! I only know one being with such characteristic, but her existence is just a myth, white hair might be rare but blue eyes is even more rare among people like us," Ressha said giving hope to the other girls.

"Myth? What Myth?" Zenda and Tisha both wanted to know about this story.

"It's not fully mentioned in the book, but it is said that if that woman appears in a world, then that world is bound to get destroyed, her name is Leviathan but no mention of her race or any details, so it is just a myth because even the first queen didn't believe those things," This confirmed their suspicion about that woman's strength, but if she's that powerful it made them wonder why she wanted Nikol.

Thinking that is all for information, everyone tried to leave but Ressha quickly stopped them.

"Wait! Legend doesn't finish there, there are actually another two myths mentioned along with Leviathan's story," Ressha said and looked at the crowd with her eyes gaining her confidence back since these girls are relying on her.

"Phoneix, Fenrir and Leviathan," She said those three words while raising her fingers one by one.

"The myth foretells that on the day when three otherworldly entities converge, our world shall meet its final reckoning, and upon that self-loathing day, we shall stand in judgment for the myriad transgressions of our mortal existence," She explained to them what that meant, sending shivers down the girl's spines after knowing that myth might be true since that woman might really be Leviathan.

"What are we getting involved into?" This question raved inside everyone's mind, but they had no option remaining anymore, other than fighting for their love.
