Chapter 33: The Glorious Sword

Princess Qamari floated in the air as the magic coursed through her veins. Her flowing black hair was like the midnight sky as her glowing face resembled the bright moon in that dark sky. The golden bird hovered behind her, creating the illusion of the moon wrapped protectively in the embrace of the sun.

Looking down at the now frightened dragon beast, Princess Qamari swept her arm in a slicing motion. With lethal accuracy, a soft white glow slashed through the air smashing the frozen mini-blue dragon in the chest. The dragon flew backward as the glow entered its body. Its chest exploded, then its mouth. Finally, its front claws completely shattered, and it fell to the ground, exploding into a shower of flesh and blood.

Horrific shrieks resounded throughout the forest as the scent of blood and death spread.

Princess Qamari felt tired as the soft glow of light surrounding her winked out, and her body plummeted from the sky towards the bloody, torn, and now dark forest below.

At this moment, the golden bird flew forward, going beneath her descending body as she came crashing down onto its back, her fall cushioned. Sensing the presence of the golden bird in her mind and feeling its velvety wings under her hands, warmth filled her heart, reaching to the depth of her soul. Relieved and exhausted, she immediately fell into a sleepless slumber.

The golden bird flew through the sky towards the location of Princess Qamari's makeshift shelter. Making out the silver rafter in the midst of the ancient trees, it gently descended and deposited her figure under the shade of the lotus leaf umbrellas cluster. Flying back into the sky, it landed on a tree above Princess Qamari's shelter, vigilantly scanning the area as it kept watch.

Iiam, who had been observing Princess Qamari in the Mirror of Observation since the beginning of the competition, shifted its focus onto the other participants in the event of uncovering new talents. Due to this, he sadly missed the moment of Princess Qamari's transformation.

Moreover, he discovered two more participants with black hair and purple eyes, subverting and shaking his conviction of Princess Qamari being the one with the ability to heal the heart of the sea.

As such, a meeting of the great magicians of the Seven Order was held to determine the possible Marikeen and only hope of healing the heart. After a day of discussion and arguments, the magicians decided to take in all the participants with black hair and purple eyes as apprentices to guard against any possible deviation.

The next day, Princess Qamari awoke to feel refreshed and light. Recalling the events before she fell unconscious, he anxiously sat up and looked around, searching for her golden sword.

At this moment, the glorious sound of a joyous bird filled the air. Raising her head, Princess Qamari saw the golden bird flying towards her, its golden glow brightening the surrounding darkness before it dived straight at her. Just as it was about to land into her arms, it transformed back into a golden sword. It hummed twice in contentment before falling silent.

Grabbing the sword, Princess Qamari gently caressed it with a smile.

A few days later, the shrieks of beasts reverberated throughout the primitive forest as Princess Qamari slashed and sliced at a pair of wild foxes with the golden sword in her hand. There was a layer of soft white glow covering the sword as it swerved and curved.

It was obvious that Princess Qamari was in the midst of practicing how to use her magic.

"Golden bird, do you think I will be able to fly in the future if I practice my magic enough?" Princess Qamari mentally communicated with the golden sword that was now spiritually connected to her.

"Why do you need to wait until the future? You can fly even now." The golden bird chirpily replied.

"Really? How?" Princess Qamari's violet eyes sparkled with a silver glow as she struck at the shoulder of the male fox. The fox reeled back in pain, glaring at her with fierce eyes and bared fangs.

"Once I transform, you can just ride on my back." The bird proudly replied telepathically.

Laughing happily, Princess Qamari swung her sword, hacking at the leg of the other fox. As it dodged to the side, she turned and dashed into the distance.

"Come on golden bird. Let's fly!" She shouted as she flung her sword into the air and jumped. Using magic, she supported her body in the sky as the golden sword transformed into a golden bird and Princess Qamari landed right on its velvety back. Spreading its majestic wings, the bird spanned in a circle before shooting of into the spread of darkness, brightening the way as it swept through.

In the Amayan Empire, at the border of the Ocean of Blood, Crown Prince Lail's black Myif swept through the air in a long arc before landing in a puff of dust. Jumping off, Crown Prince Lail directly rushed to his tent where a white-haired old man with a walking cane in his hand, stood waiting for him at the door.

"Old oracle, please forgive me for my late return. I was quite a distance away and it took me a while to come back. Please, do enter." Saying so, Crown Prince Lail held the flap of the tent in invitation, politely gesturing to the white-haired man to enter.

The old man nodded his head and walked in without saying a word of thanks. Not offended, the Crown Prince walked in after him. The two sat down and engaged in a small chat as the servant served them tea. After a sip, Crown Prince Lail dismissed the servant with a wave of his hand, his face immediately turning serious as he looked at the old man.

"Old Oracle, I asked for your presence here today to ask for a favor. A few days ago, my Crown Princess Consort vanished the moment we exchanged our vows. There are search parties in the empire that are trying to track her traces, but something tells me that wherever she is, no search party would be able to find her. Old Oracle, please guide. You see everything that happens within the seven realms. Tell me, where can I find my Crown Princess Consort? In return, I promise to fulfill any of your demands." Crown Prince Lail sincerely looked into the old oracle's eyes as he beseeched him.

If he could find his Crown Princess Consort, no demand would be too great to fulfill.

Looking into those dark eyes, the old oracle tried to detect malice or misgivings in the Crown Prince. However, he found nothing but honesty. The Crown Prince's sincerity moved the heart of the old oracle, which had grown cold and detected over the years of interacting with the disloyal and dishonest humans of the mortal realms.

"Seeing as you have been so persistent and honest in seeking me out, I will help you this once." He amiably said as he smoothed his beard with his free hand.

Closing his eyes, the old oracle knocked the end of his cane thrice on the ground, as if crushing and clearing an obstacle from his path, while a cyan glow filled the tent.

Crown Prince Lail shielded his eyes, his heart nervously pounding and soaring in his chest with the thought of reuniting with his Princess Consort soon.

A while later, the cyan light disappeared, displaying the ghostly face of the oracle. There was disbelief, shock, and fear in his eyes, his mouth gaping, he sat in a daze.

"How was it? Did you find her?" Crown Prince Lail Anxiously asked as he looked at the pale oracle with a frown.

Coming back to his senses, there was a strange look in the old oracle's eyes as he looked at the Crown Prince. He could not help lamenting to himself how extraordinary people's fate could be. One moment here, the next gone.

Sighing wearily, he spoke the words he felt he must.

"Crown Prince Lail, you would have to forget about this Crown Princess Consort of yours, that is, if you wish to continue on living the life you live right now. If not, then first, you will have to cut and sever all relations from this world, and second, steel and harden your heart for many trials and tribulations.." The oracle coldly ordained.
