1094 Words
Prince Jake was silent and his grip on Mia loosened. As Mia's hand was freed, she ran as fast as her leg could carry her into her room.
She was panting heavily and as she entered the room, she closed the door behind herself.
Prince Alex decided not to follow after Mia and instead continue what he was doing. Prince Jake is still wondering who Mia is, to prince Alex, that he taught her the deep kill skill.
The selection ceremony had ended and the girls including Ellen were returning back.
Ellen entered the room and saw Mia in a down mood. She sighed and locked the door with a magic seal. After that, she moved closer to Mia and hold her hands.
"Why didn't you tell me that you knew that I was Les, at least I'm not the first to be reborn." Mia said thinking that Ellen knew about her rebirth. Ellen said nothing and in an instant, she started transforming into some kind of angel.
Mia was shocked as she saw the person in front of her, it was the spirit lady, who had given her the second chance to come back to earth.
"Spirit lady." Mia said surprisingly.
"It's me Les." the spirit lady said. "You can call me Seer or preferably Seer Ellen, because I'm inside Ellen's body."
Mia was confused. "Where is Ellen, can she still come back?" Mia said.
"That depends on your choice." Seer Ellen replied to Mia's question.
"Depends on my choice?" Mia asked confusingly.
"Whether you wish to partake in this mission or you want to forgo it, depends on what will become of this world and what will become of everyone, including you and Ellen." Seer Ellen answered.
"What do you mean? The world will be destroyed?" Mia asked.
"The real question is will you let that happen? What will you do to stop it?" Seer Ellen said.
Mia paused for a while, trying to figure out what to say.
"What should I do?" Mia finally said, asking seer Ellen.
"Before humans existed, Dragons were the only being existing in the world. There were no humans in existence at all. Until when the supreme being came and created humans and among these humans was a man named Arthur who envied the greatness of all dragon and planned in his mind to kill all dragons in existence.
He went into the depths of the earth and into the sea, in search for dark and evil powers to defeat the dragons. He did got it, a dark and evil dragon power that can be used to defeat all dragons.
After transforming into a black dragon, he went from cave to cave, killing each dragons. He killed all the dragons except the red dragon.
When the black dragon came to challenge the red dragon, the strongest of all other dragons, I came in to help the red dragon defeat the black dragon, but it wasn't enough.
The battle was tough and the red dragon only managed to infuse some amount of poison that will weaken the body for a some years, inside the black dragon's body.
But, the red dragon couldn't finish his fight because the poison that he infused inside the black dragon's body drained the life force out of him.
But before he died, he showed me where the combined heart crystals of all the dragons where and instructed me to find the purest of heart that could possess these dragon powers and avenge their deaths by killing Arthur fiend, the Pendragon and also the black dragon." Seer Ellen explained. "And I found you."
"Me??" Mia asked.
"Yes you." Seer Ellen said.
"Why me? I don't have a pure heart and I don't like dragons." Mia refused.
"You can't escape it, Les. You already have the markings on your feet." Seer Ellen said and Mia looked at her feet.
"When did I have this tattoo on my feet?" Mia asked, the tattoos of her feet were the drawing of a crystal.
"When you transformed into a dragon, the tattoo appeared and let me tell you, the black dragon could feel your presence. He's preparing his army to search for you, so make sure you keep that tattoo hidden, because we will soon be leaving for the cave where the dragon crystals are, so you could absorb the powers of the crystals. The poison could only weaken the black dragon for a while. And presently, he is gaining his full powers back. If we don't act fast, he will rule over the whole world and kings will become his slaves.
"He already have the Stone Kingdom in his control, soon, every other kingdoms will be under him." Seer Ellen said. "Are you in?"
Mia sighed. "I can't answer you now. I'm still thinking about it. Give me some time." Mia said as she went to sleep, while Seer Ellen was up, thinking next on how to convince her.
From the stone kingdom, about a thousand Knights could be seen riding on horses, going around every kingdoms pasting posters, informing the whole world that the evil goddess having tattoos on her feet has arrived into the earth to destroy all beings.
They just left a small kingdom with a little population of people. The kingdom is named the Red beast kingdom.
Two ladies were staring at the poster that was pasted on the quest board of the guild hall.
"Is it true?" a lady asked
"I think so." the second lady answered.
"Don't you hear the prophesy? ... "Behold, there will be someone reborn as a saviour of all kingdoms or as the destroyer of all kingdoms. It all depends on what the person chooses.. The person is a female and she have two tattoos drawn on her leg. She is the leader of all leaders. The conqueror of all cities." A young boy said and the ladies glared at him.
"What? I'm just doing my job." The boy said.
"Lazy bones. Wanderer." one of the lady said.
"Instead of taking guild quests to hunt for a living, he would be out proclaiming fake prophecies and end up begging for food." The ladies said as they went back to their houses.
The boy's name is James and he's fifteen years old. His parents were based in the stone kingdom and they've even invited him to come along but James refused to go claiming that the kingdom is a corrupted kingdom that doesn't believe in the prophecy.
"I wish I could see you, The Conqueror." James said.
