Chapter 2

The strong wind of the night woke her up. She looks around and inhaled the fresh air.

Sin Mountain. She stares at the setting if the sun. The sunset at Shin Empire is known for its intense red and orange hues on the sky. It's beautiful, too beautiful that makes her heart ache more.

Tears stream down her eyes. She inhaled and exhaled heavily, composing herself.

Tomorrow is the day of the engagement. The pain so unbearable. It's suffocating, killing hee. The hurt. But she had made up her mind that she will give Vince everything…

The kiss sealed that.

The kiss Vince gave Lady Jasmine when they're still engage,.

She stared at the Shin Temple. She remembers William and Geika. The thing she had asked for them to approve. The renouncement of their engagement.

I need to do this. For him, for me, for the future.

She wipes the tears with his trembling hands and steer her white thoroughbred demon horse towards the Shin Temple. Her only redemption and the only way to save her pride and many confrontations and questions.

The Shin Temple, even at night were surrounded by guardswomen, ready for battle. Here, they guard not only the Genshi Miko, but also the Forbidden Boxes. Unbeknownst to them, the so-called spirit of William Heika is also residing there in its full glory. Oh, they know William Heika's spirit is there but they have no idea that's it's LITERALLY THERE making the Daikenja irritated most of the times for baby sitting a very stubborn, full of pranks and mischievous King.

'Lady Sapphira' The women guards bow their head as she headed for the Shin Temple. The women knows her going here for he gave a message to the Daikenja.

She entered the room – where William resides.

The coldness and darkness of the room didn't help her feelings. More so, it chills her. The three forbidden boxes are there she slowly touches the box where her heart was and still is the key. The forbidden fox: Hellfire on Frozen Tundra.

Her heart was once taken away from her now she wishes that the soul of her heart will be taken again. For she felt numbness for what she was about to ask for the William Heika.

She then felt it, from behind her, a strong menacing and full of authority being. 'Long time no see, my beloved descendant.

She turns around and finds William Heika now showing himself to his descendant in his full glory.

William looks at his and his cousin Rua's descendant, the Beautiful Lady Sapphira.

The two are so resembling each other that once may thought that William and Sapphira are father and daughter.

The uncanny resemblance is really there. Both have sun kissed hair, both have same features, only Sapphira's softer and more younger while William Heika's face has an aura of thousand of years of wisdom and power. And the difference of eye color.

While William Heika has the stunning Sapphire Sky Blue Eyes… Sapphira has the Nature Emerald Green Eyes.

Sapphira looks up at her ancestor the Original Great King of Shin emprire WilliamHeika.

Blue stared at Green.

Sapphira bows her head. 'Good evening William Heika.'

William smiles at his descendant. Sappira may not be his favorite, but the brat has a very big space in his heart. Sapphira was the fruition of his frustration. Where as, he and Rufus were calm, a prankster, a tactician, ruled by their head, Sapphira is govern by her heart. A real Fire Wielder.

A Fire Wielder, represents the energetic, forceful, moving things in the world. In the mental and emotional realms, it represents drive and passion, motivation, desire, intention, and an outgoing spirit. Sapphira is not an ordinary outgoing Mazoku her hot tempered, easy to be pissed, too emotional, spoiled and selfish but William knows that her selfishness is never for herself but only to the man she will give her heart too.

And in her life, she has given her heart to Vince. The 27th King.

'I do believe I know your intentions in coming here. But my question is… are you sure?'

William asked the Demon Princess. He looks intently at the bright emerald eyes. Sapphira may hide it but he knows that those eyes have been crying. Been miserable. Been in so much pain that he felt the anger of Ria in the air.

'Yes William Heika. I've think it over and I believe that it is for the best.'

'Wouldn't you wait a little more?'

'I've waited long enough William Heika… Five years is enough I believe. And I found out from the Daikenja that she inhaled and looked straight into blue eyes 'He already has a set his eyes on another half demon woman, a woman William Heika, unlike me.' That was true, she found that out first and was about to burn Vince and confront him when she saw the latter in the garden – in HER garden with Lady Jasmine, a half demon same as Vince, kissing and fondling each other.

'Do you wished then that you were born as a simple woman?

'HELL NO! I will never wish that for the world. Being a like that may have it's advantages but I – I love and respect my being a me. I am a soldier. Ready to accepts all the possible outcome in life. And me being a like that have the privileged to protect, Vince Heika at all times. I have been, his friend and companion. Ender maybe his godfather but Vince

have shared many things to me too as his best friend.

Yes, she the best friend of Vince. Vince trust and asked for Ender's advice but she and Vince shared some things too. And for the life of him she never once think if herself as a simple woman or wished to be one. She have so much pride and respect to herself. Her being a soldier is a gift. That's why it humiliates her when her mother dressed her up. She is a soldier through and through.

The Original King stared at his descendant, no tears, no regret only sadness reflected in the emerald green eyes.

'Then I will give out the order of the renouncement of your engagement and I will give you a very important mission my dear Princess.

'Anything, Heika. Sapphira bows again.

A Mission. Its okay. As long as it will put her mind in other things. Mission from the William Heika is not one to be rejected and she was glad for it.

'My Sage…'

Sapphira looks around and found Drew, the Soukoku no Daikenja walking towards them.

'Hello Lady Sapphira. Everything has been arranged now. Cloud and the others on Earth will be expecting you. Drew looks sadly at the beautiful Demon Princess. Descendant of his friend Ria and his friend William. Eyes full of sadness. Just like Ris. Is history repeating itself all over again? And again, to Ria and Saphira. Both have the saddest of fates…

'Then that mission is on Earth?'

'Yes. You are to be the Earth and Shin Empire's Royal Ambassador. William informs him.

Sapphira stared at the two powerful Demon's who have brought peace and tranquility on the land.

She graciously bows her head and accepts her fate. On Earth. So be it.
