The Record of Orc Civilization

Blue eyes like ice shone brightly in the dark cave.

Piercing through the golden glow of the flying karambit shards and the red scarlet emanating from Moku's eyes.

Blue eyes did not show fear but a depth that soothed the hearts of anyone who looked at them.

The blue eyes that filled the entire space behind the queen's eyes made no room for any color beside it.

All the sylphs lowered their heads when the queen opened her eyes, they didn't dare to look directly at them and silently praised the beauty of those eyes.

Nerphyl stood up from his throne, her wings spread wide, and carried her body flying.

Nerphyl reached the palm of Moku's outstretched hand, walking slowly through the palm to the forearm until the upper arm.

Nerphyl flew and floated right in front of Moku's nose. Staring at the face that was bigger than her body fearlessly.

Nerphyl's body was larger than the usual sylph, she was as tall as an adult human's palm. Even so, Nerphyl's body has nothing to compare with Moku who is over 2 meters tall.

Even so, she stood fearlessly.

"KuMoku, did you see my eyes?" Nerphyl asked.

Moku just nodded in response. He didn't understand why Nerphyl asked that.

"Are my eyes beautiful?" Nerphyl asked again.

For the second time, Moku just nodded in response.

"When I was little I also thought the same thing, my mother's eyes are so beautiful, and make the hearts of anyone who sees them calm.

The icy blue that emanated from these eyes made the person who saw it calm down and feel like they were looking at the rippled shallow ocean.

I've always dreamed of having the same eyes as my mother. When I was little I was my mother's favorite child, so I often asked when I would have eyes like my mother's.

But mother always answered with a bitter smile, as if seeing her naive childhood. I don't understand why mom is smiling like that.

Until the day my eyes turned blue, on that day my mother couldn't smile anymore, her face showed bitterness towards her poor fate.

I was ordered to hide in a dark cave, the cave door was closed with a large rock that only two elephants could push. I was ordered to stay here until someone picked me up.

Whether a long time has passed, the large stone covering the cave shifted, my mother, brothers, and sisters came to see me. They all smiled happily and greeted me happily.

We had a reunion in the dark cave. There was no gloom when we talked and no sadness when we chatted. Everything is like it used to be when we were little and playing in the clear lake."

Nerphyl took a deep breath as if remembering the good times. Her icy blue eyes slowly started to melt.

"When we were playing in the cave, mom drew something on the floor of the cave. I wanted to know what mom drew but my brothers and sisters always held me back. They didn't want me to approach mom.

Not long after that mother joined us. Her face looks young and fresh, there are no wrinkles on her skin, mother's beauty is still the same as the last time I saw her.

And her eyes... Her eyes still gave off the same icy blue light, comforting my longing heart.

Mother brought us closer to the drawing that she painted on the ground of the cave. I don't understand what this drawing is for and what it means. There are two circles in the picture, one circle is smaller than the other.

Mother asked me to stand in a smaller circle. I was an obedient child so I obeyed without saying anything.

Mother gave me a bowl with a red, fishy liquid in it. It is blood, my mother told me to drink it, I am not hungry and still full, but I am an obedient child so I drink it without asking anything.

When the last drop of blood in the bowl entered my mouth, my body suddenly froze and I couldn't move. I remain calm because this is a common symptom when the possession process begins.

I looked at my mother and asked whose blood I was drinking and which animal I was going to possess. But mom just smiled and walked to the bigger circle.

Within the bigger circle stand all my brothers and sisters. They look at me with the same smile when they play with me.

I don't understand and I have a very bad feeling. My body trembled to try to move, but Sylph couldn't move before finding the target they were about to possess.

Mother who saw me trying to fight my frozen body said softly "Phyl.. this is a process that must occur in this life, where the young will replace the old.

The child will replace the parents and the young queen will replace the old queen.

To get the power of the Eyes of Queen you must have the pure blood of the first sylph, for that you must purify your blood first before having the same eyes as me.

Phyl.. this is our responsibility as queen and descendant of the first sylph, we are the servant of all sylphs and symbol of the existence of sylph in this world. Trust me you will not be alone, all sylph will be with you, they are your family, and your brother and sister.

Phyl.. you have to be strong. Save the sylphs from their inferiority, we are a powerful monster race, we are a monster race that deserves respect.

Phyl.. remember not all sacrifices have to be mourned and not all victories have to be celebrated, stay calm and sincere.

Phyl.. if you fail, then pass this on to your children, just as I bequeathed it to you"

After that, my mother, brother, and sister cut off the veins in their arms and let the blood drip onto the ground. The blood flowed from the big circle to the small circle and merged with my body.

I watched with a stiff body, my mother, brother, and sister dried up slowly due to their blood being absorbed into my body.

I don't know how they feel but their smiles and words keep ringing in my ears to this day.

After that, I can use the Eyes of Queen ability. But it wasn't the serenity I got but the vision filled with the suffering, struggle, and pain of the sylph race.

Every day I see my sisters being tortured and humiliated in my eyes. Every day I see my brothers being hunted and killed in my eyes.

I'm scared.. very scared.. every time I wake up and open my eyes there is only a picture of the suffering of my people.

I don't want to open my eyes anymore, I keep closing them. But my mother's message kept ringing in my mind.

In the end, I accepted my true duty. Become a servant to the sylphs and become a symbol of their existence.

I accompany them when they are alone, I advise them when they are in trouble, and I look after them when they are in danger.

After understanding the Eyes of Queen more deeply I discovered that this power is not only useful for receiving messages and sending them. But this power is a controller, the controller of all sylphs.

Any queen who has this power will know what the sylph feels, thinks, and wants.

They can control and force the entire sylph as they please.

You know Moku.. my eyes that you say are beautiful is not a blessing but a curse. A curse to a queen of the weakest monster race." Nerphyl closed her eyes again.

The sylphs stopped looking down and stared at their queen with tearful eyes.

Moku took a deep breath. He understood what Nerphyl was about to do.

A queen who physically bears the suffering of all her people, a queen who loves her people very much, a queen who holds all control over her people's lives, and a queen who intends to sell her people to become pets.

There's only one way to forgive herself, stop the suffering she's in, and close the possibility for humans to control the entire sylph through her.

That way is to eliminate the queen and cut off all the possibilities that the queen will exist.

When Nerphyl decided to make her people human pets, that's when she decided to kill herself.

Moku knows that the way he gives Sylph is a way that relies on dreams and wishes.

There is no certainty that possessing a mutated animal is the catalyst of the sylph's evolution, there is no certainty if Moku succeeds in sealing the mutated animal's mana organ, and there is no certainty that Sylph's life will be better than it is now.

If a wise leader is faced with two choices that will affect people's lives in the future, then it is a wise choice to choose something that is more certain and does not rely on wishful thinking.
