They popped into Master Kenjie's realm where no one can enter.
"Where are we?" Czarina asked while looking around. They were standing on a seashore. The rising sun was reflecting on the bluish-green salt water. Shoreline gently rolled up to the increasingly rising waves. The wave stopped as it reaches the tide line and slowly rolls back into the ocean. This relaxing rhythm of continuous lapping waves calmed Czarina. It was a perfect scenery for those who wanted to have a peaceful day.
"We can talk here privately and safely without worrying someone might hear us," he said. "This is my own little world."
"What and where exactly are we?" Czarina asked. She could not picture in her mind their exact location. "Are we in Fantazija?"
"We are in my own realm where vast of my chi is located. My spirit beast resides here." He pointed i the sky, there they saw a sleeping serpent on the clouds.
"Whoa!" Czarina could not hide her amazement while staring at the giant serpent. "Is this how it looks like once we already have our own spirit beast?"
"Yes." Master Kenjie nodded. "Each one of you can have your own realm. It could be different from what you are seeing here."
Czarina felt excited, anticipating her break through to Lord Level. "I can't wait for that to happen."
"What are we going to talk about, Master?" Kev asked.
He glanced at Czarina, then he sighed. "First thing's first," started We are training you, kids. Orao will take care of Yin, Tigar will train Maple, I will train Valk, Sirie, Kev and Czarina, while the other gods are missing."
The jaws of four students dropped and stared at the gods in front of them.
"The three of you are the legendary immortal elemental gods?" Yin asked. "God Orao?"
"Yes, I am," he replied. "The other gods are missing and because of that, the balance of Fantazija is not stable. We need to have our replacement and receive divine power before our demise."
"Water goddess Siren and snow goddess Ice are missing, even the fire goddess Pegaz. Aside from training you, we also need to find them at all cost, and we need your help," Master Kenjie said.
"If there is a way I can help, I will help," Czarina said.
"There's one more thing that you need to know," Master Kenjie continued.
"What is it?" Czarina threw him a puzzled look.
"About the past." He cleared his throat.
Pegaz was preparing to go to sleep when she heard footsteps outside her chamber. Someone kicked the door and entered her room. Rebecca shouted out of fear.
"Who sent you?" she asked. "You better respond to me or you will all regret this." Pegaz stood up and faced the intruders.
"You will never find out," the man in the mask said. "Kill her!" It did not take a second for them to die. She released her fire power and burned them all at once. She left the leader alive to ask who sent them to kill her.
"Who sent you? Don't make me repeat it for the third time." She made a ball of fire in her left hand.
"W-why do you have a fire element?" the leader assassin asked nervously, scared for his life. He saw the fire Pegasus mystical beast appeared behind her. His eyes widened in fear.
"You will never know." She burned the leader to dust. "I am Pegaz, the immortal goddess of fire Pegasus."
She tamed down and relaxed. The fire Pegasus beast disappeared. Her nanny was scared, sitting at the corner of her bed.
"Rebecca, they are all gone." Pegaz offered her hand to help her stand up. "Please call the king and General Hao."
Rebecca nodded and ran out of her room to call the king. A few moments later, she heard footsteps rushing to her room. King Lucas and General Hao entered her chamber. Rebecca excused herself and left the chamber.
"What happened?" The king looked around her chamber, seeing ashes and dust on the floor.
"Someone sent an assassin to kill me, without knowing who I am." She is mad and furious. She touched her belly. "I will protect my child no matter what."
"I'm sorry this happened in the palace." The king looked at General Hao. "Find the person who planned to kill my child."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The general bowed before leaving the chamber.
"I told you it is not a wise idea to let me stay in the palace and pretend I am your new wife from a far away kingdom." She rubbed her belly again. "The heavens chose this, not me."
"The child might be made from our dreams, but she is still from me, and she is my daughter," the king said.
"How did you know it is a baby girl?" She was amused.
"The heavens told me in my dream. Pegaz, I love you, but you turned me down before." He lowered his head. "You would be my queen now if you only accepted me."
"Your Highness, I have a bigger responsibility in our kingdom. I can't choose my own happiness." She rubbed her belly again. "And this new role the heavens tasked me with is unexpected."
"She will be the next leader of our nation." The king stared at her belly. It already has a little bump.
"My priority now is my child. I will never let anyone harm her. I am leaving now, Your Highness."
"Are you going back to your mansion?" he asked.
"No, Your Highness. Whoever sent the assassins might find out who I really am." She sighed. She looked up to call her nanny using telepathy. "Rebecca." She has been with her since Rebecca was still a child. She adopted Rebecca when she saw her lying on the street, hungry, sick and wet from the three days of rain.
"Where are you going?" Lucas asked her. "Please, don't take my child so far from me."
"Far away from everyone, making sure of my baby's safety." Pegaz rubbed his belly, feeling the heartbeat of her baby. "I will never let anyone hurt her."
"Bring Hao with you. I still want to make a connection and see how our child grows. Our child's destiny is to become the leader of the next generation." Lucas hugged Pegaz.
The lady named Rebecca entered her chamber. "Yes, My Lady?" She bowed to show respect to her.
"Let's leave now. Find General Hao, he will come with us." She looked back at the king. "You are still her father, no matter what. You don't have to worry. She will be safe. You can visit her if you can escape from the nose of my assassin." Pegaz knows who the mastermind is, but she will shut her mouth for now. She has no evidence yet.
"I didn't know at first it was you, Czarina... you are the king's daughter to goddess Pegaz, and Prince Kev is your half brother," Master Kenjie ended his story telling. It was like a bomb to Czarina's ears. "Immortal goddess Pegaz, your biological mother, is still missing."
