Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Origin

As Belzebuth was encased in the sealing ice, he was despaired at the thought of not finding his loved one. He began struggling even more fiercely, but what he was able to do was to make a little crack in the seal. Still, that is still hope. Thankfully he managed to create a barrier surrounding Ayane's body before going.

Seeing that what he would do can't break the seal, Belzebuth began to calm down a little. He began pondering what had happened till now, the transformation of the entry village into some monster, or something like that. He also can't comprehend what is happening to him, normally he should be dead, having lost his heart he was in immense pain, but after the ice sealed him, it began to be bearable, but what was strange was that he still sense that he had an heart that is beating. It was pumping something through his body, not quite like blood, as that wouldn't have been obvious, since he could sense that something was spreading inside his body, as if like blood.

He also began to have memories of other peolp, as if they had been inserted inside his head, and became his. It was like he had been through thiese experience himself. He felt strange seeing some of these memories because there were memories of the villager in them, he felt every emotion the owner of the memories have felt during these experience, but strangely he felt more the negative emotion. There were also some fragmented memories of other people from the other kingdoms but from these, he only obtain their knowledge. And there were many more that pop up out of nowhere in his head.

From the barrier on Ayane, he can still sense that she was still in stable, so he was more at ease. So he delve deeper into this sea of knowledge to see if he can find something to break this seal. He managed to find the knowledge of an elder from the kingdom of Amethisya. It was a pool of knowledge about many spell, many of which were spell used during battle. Some of which were fire based, but they can't counter the seal, it was rather the spell that was frozen before even taking shape.

As he sink more and more in the see of knowledge, he found something that shook him to the core. It was the memories of the king of Lunaris, Lucifer Alvarya! That was the legendary figure in the heart of every Alvaryan, as Belzebuth began reading the memories, he was more and more surprised. What shocked him the most was when Lucifer looked into the glass, It's almost like it was him that he saw, and as if it was him in the memories and not Lucifer.

When he was child he had often heard about how he was an abandoned baby left in Raphaël's doorstep, at first ge didn't quite believe it, but when he asked his parents they didn't deny it, just saying "no matter what, you're our child". He accepted it quite easily as he didn't have many similarities with his parents, he had even once contemplated searching for his true parents, but abandoned it in the end, how was he going to search for something that he didn't have information about?

He continued to read the memories until, that day, the queen gave birth to what Belzebuth assumed would be the last princess.

"Congratulation your majesty! They are a twin of healthy babies! And the condition of the Queen is really good"

Hearing this Belzebuth was stunned, was the last princess really a twin? No one know of this.

"Let me see them, hurry!" The king said happily. "Who is the elder?"

"Oh, I think it was the sister."

"Then, you will be Azariel… Azariel Alvarya. As for you, your name shall be…. Belzebuth…. Belzebuth Alvarya."

Now Belzebuth's mind froze, what, what had he just heard?

But before he speculate anymore in what might have caused the king to abandon him, the scene continued further. He suddenly saw many scene of destruction and carnage, the exact scene that happened just days ago!!

"Does the king have some seer ability?" Belzebuth asked himself, but then denied it, he hadn't seen that in the memories of the king. Then how was it that he saw the destruction that would happen eighteen years later?

Suddenly, Belzebuth remembered something,

"HIS ABILITY!!! Then does that mean that there is someone in the palace that have time ability?"

Then he saw the king and the queen agreeing to let one of the babies be taken to Oakdale, then he saw a figure that he was also familiar with, it was one of the guard of the village,

"So he was a subordinate of the king! No wonder he asked me to train when I was kid" Belzebuth reflected

Everything return to normal for the king, it's just that he trained more hardly. The queen would sometime go out of palace to visit Oakvale as a merchant and making acquaintance with Raphaël and Elena, and most importantly Belzebuth.

He also saw his battle with the other kings along with his defeat, and lastly his last word, when he heard these, Belzebuth didn't know what to think of for a moment. He was now trapped in a seal, not knowing when he would be able to come out. And hearing about the queen who often come and play with him when he was kid, being his mother, he was conflicted.

Many negative emotion surged within him, especially wrath and sorrow, wrath toward these invader, and sorrow at the loss of his parents, and loved one. As when he search the many memories, he saw the memories of his two childhood friends, Takeru and Miranda. They were attacked at the other end of the village, where his wedding was going to be held. Almost like his parents, it was Takeru dying protecting her, but the ending of Miranda was what infuriated him the most, they had captured her with many other girl from the village, and was abused by the soldier, taking her own life not long after, before the soldier could react. And the energy that was being spread throughout his body by what seemed to be his new heart was responding by pulsating more and more. unknowingly, his sclera began to turn black, combined with his crimson red pupils, his eyes looked like the abyss itself.

He resumed his search of spell with renewed resolve, he didn't left any memories untouched, but the result was minimal, not even a single one can be used within the confine of the seal, tranforming into ice the moment it was still in the process of being created. He didn't notice the soul of his loved one, that had passed through him didn't go to the realm of death but stayed within him, especially so for those tied to him by blood, the royal family. And they were very panicky right about now!!
