Under the radiant sun, young Mia hummed tunes, her joyful steps carrying her toward the tree nestled in the heart of the field. Abruptly, her song faded as she spotted a boy, his back turned to her, standing by the tree. He appeared a few years older than Mia.Mia stepped closer, reaching out to the boy. Before she could speak, he took her hand, chuckling, "Silly girl, enough of your tricks. Come with me, I have something to show you."The boy sprinted ahead, still holding Mia's hand as she trailed behind, a sense of familiarity enveloping her. Despite the connection, his face remained a mystery, visible only from behind. Fueled by curiosity, she couldn't help but ask, "Do we know each other? Can I see your face?''The boy halted and let go of her hand, yet his face remained hidden. "You claimed we know each other. Don't you recognize me?", he questioned.Innocently, she responded, 'No, but if I could just...'Her words hung in the air as the boy sprinted away once more. She chased aft
The fragments scattered across the entire earth, causing a cataclysmic change. Powerful beasts vanished, leaving behind mere myths, while only ordinary wild and domestic animals managed to survive.However, these fragments absorbed the essence of the vanished creatures, becoming imbued with their extraordinary powers. Remarkably, humans endured the upheaval. In regions where these fragments fell, the magical energies seeped into the bodies of the inhabitants, granting them newfound abilities and altering the course of humanity forever.In the wake of the magic-infused cataclysm, those who harnessed the mystical energies underwent a profound transformation, embodying the essence of the beasts whose powers the fragments had absorbed. These beings possessed the remarkable ability to shift between beast and human forms, a characteristic intrinsic to their magical nature.Individuals who absorbed the essence of ice, water, and wind from the fragments became the awe-inspiring Magical Ice Dra
In his dream, the Chi ruler witnessed a flourishing kingdom, but fate took a dark turn when a girl was born into Chi's family, leading to the tragic demise of the Black Rose. The very instant the black rose turned to ashes, all the magical beasts in the realm began to perish abruptly.As she matured, she ascended to power, and chaos ensued among the magical beasts, staining the world in blood. The girl's crown was fashioned from this very blood, symbolizing her rule.Upon awakening, he recounted his dream to the leaders of the Magical Beasts, prompting the Magical White Wolves to stand sentinel at the Black Rose's cave.Henceforth, the girl was christened Black Princess Chi, after the name of the fallen Black Rose, and whispers of a curse surrounded her name.Ever since the prophecy of the cursed girl's impending birth, the Chi family lived in constant dread. They had planned to hand her over to the Magical Beasts immediately upon her arrival. However, as time passed, the ominous event
They decided to keep her on the island for a few days, attempting various methods to awaken her evil side, but all their efforts proved futile.Initially, they tried to provoke her by putting her in danger, hoping her evil side would surface in self-defense. One day, while she was playing with Hao in the garden, they sent a fierce lion her way. However, Hao, aware of the situation, disappeared the moment he sensed the danger.As everyone secretly watched, anticipating the outcome, something unexpectedly strange unfolded.Upon hearing the lion's roar, Mia calmly turned towards it, her confidence unwavering. Unfazed, she stepped forward, using her teleportation magic to effortlessly reach the lion. To everyone's surprise, she gently stroked the lion's face, and miraculously, the ferocious beast grew calm, sitting peacefully in front of her.In a gesture of trust, the lion raised its massive paw and offered it to Mia, acknowledging her as an unexpected ally.With the lion's paw in her han
Everyone was taken aback by her peculiar behavior."Let's commence the conference," she declared, her face devoid of any emotion."I've gone through all your concerns. Based on them, the mortality rate has risen, and magic is waning. What about the herbs I provided to each of you?" she inquired."Princess, the herbs did aid in healing, but their effects were short-lived; the ailment returned after a few days," responded the Phoenix Leader."The same holds true for all of us," added the Griffin leader."I've recently devised an alternative approach, although it's temporary. Nonetheless, I intend to implement it with your cooperation," she explained, and they all nodded in agreement."I need each of you to bring the affected beasts to the island. This time, I plan to use the water from the Magical Lake along with other magical essences. It will require my magical power and a bit from each of you to enhance its potency. Additionally, you'll receive a list of specific herbs to collect from
Mia trembled, her eyes wide with fear, upon seeing Hao drenched in blood."Hao, why are you covered in blood? Where are my siblings?" She hurried towards him, her voice filled with panic."It's not my blood; I'm a spirit, I can't bleed. Your siblings are safe, but someone took them," Hao explained."What? Who took them? And please don't tell me this blood belongs to them?""Don't worry, they're unharmed. Some humans took them, but I sensed a Magical White Wolf nearby. This blood is Liana's," Hao started, but Mia cut him off."She lost so much blood, and you just stood there? Take me to them now," she scolded him, her eyes blazing with anger."Don't worry, I used a healing spell on her. She's not bleeding anymore, although she hasn't fully healed. Come with me; I'll take you to them," Hao reassured her."But how did she get injured?" Mia's concern deepened as she sought answers from Hao.Hao relayed the situation to Mia, his voice filled with urgency. "Both of them secretly went out whi
Hao appeared, his voice cold, "Let them face the consequences, Mia. They deserve it. And by the way, I've already brought your siblings home."Mia, suspicious, questioned him, "Did you reveal everything to them?" pointing towards the leaders."Of course, I did. Those wolves dared to harm you, but I intervened in time. I sensed the old wolf's evil intentions and rushed to protect you. Though you had already passed out, the Magical Tree helped you recover. But there might still be traces of the toxin in your body," Hao explained, hoping for praise but received a swift hit on the head from Mia."Ouch... why did you hit your savior? You are such an ungrateful... humph..." Hao seethed with anger."You are becoming increasingly disobedient. I never asked for your interference. Have you even considered the consequences of endangering me and my siblings? What's the point of your magic and powers if you run to others for help? You're growing lazy day by day. I'm sending you for Magical meditati
She caressed the sword's blade with her fingers, her tone laced with a potent mix of threat and confidence. "Only a single strike from this sword, and all of you will be reduced to ashes. This blade is just a minuscule manifestation of my magic, akin to a single grain of rice. It serves as a testament to my unimaginable power. Yet, one of you attempted to bribe me, while another nearly succeeded in ending my life. Even though you may not have intended to kill me, the cold toxin you used almost proved fatal. Understand this: my strength doesn't make me immortal. I owe my survival to the Healing Tree. Had I not awakened, your fate would have been far bleaker."She shifted her gaze to them, "Moreover, my power extends beyond that of common humans or other Chi members who have lived before or will live after me. Despite your efforts, your antidote fails to fully heal me. I spare you today, but don't mistake my mercy for weakness. Remember, the one responsible for this chaos is Elder Master
"Lin, after finding out about my condition did you give me your blood?", I asked him.But he remained silent.I went towards the door with all my anger filled inside me.Lin came behind me and grabbed my hand, "Mia, where are you going?""It is none of your business. Let go of my hand", I told him without turning back.He came and stood in front of me, "Mi Mi, I can't let you go until you recover.""Why did you give me your blood when I had already told you not to?", I screamed out those words without thinking.Lin grabbed both of my hands, "I am sorry Mi but I would never leave you dying until and unless I am not dead myself. Whenever you are in danger I won't step back. I won't listen to you while protecting you. This time it was just a few drops of blood but if one day it is my whole life, even then I won't hesitate or step back." I felt him step closer to me and then he stopped when a few inches of distance were left,"Mi, I had lost you once but I can't afford to lose you again.
I withdrew from the hug and looked at his shocked face. There was moisture appearing in his eyes. This time he hugged me.I was breathless because of the sudden hug. He hugged me tightly but didn't say a word. I waited for him to talk. After a while, I felt his hot tears on my shoulder. I don't know why but I wanted to calm him. Without another thought, I touched his head.With my other hand I began to tap his back, "Li Li, don't cry, please. I think I shouldn't have told you about my memory coming back. It had made you sad."He sniffed and then withdrew from the hug, "Mi Mi, you don't know how long I had waited for this moment. It is not that I am sad. It's just that I am too happy and tired. I am tired of waiting and hiding my emotions all this time."I couldn't help but wiped out his tears, "I am sorry."Lin looked at me and grabbed my hands, "Mia, after Mom's death I wanted to die. It was you who brought hope to my life. Those five years with you were like five centuries. Althoug
Mia's POVI found myself in a familiar environment. I thought that I might be inside the stone realm and looked around but then realized that it was the dream that had haunted me for years.This time everything seemed different because stead of my childhood self, I the older me is inside this dream.I began to walk in the green field. Suddenly, it began to rain heavily. I went to a nearby tree to take shelter."*sob* Mom*sob*", I heard someone sobbing.I went to look around and then saw a boy sitting beneath a nearby tree. His face was hidden in his arms but I felt familiar with him. I stepped towards him.Then a girl appeared. "Huh... That's me..." That was the younger me, I saw in my previous dreams. She went close to him and sat close to him.The younger me calmed him down and put a bandage on his wound. The boy soon stopped crying. They both introduced themselves to each other.The boy told me his name was Li while the younger me told her name was Mi."Wait a second, isn't it wha
I sighed in relief and turned around to the bookshelf, "I must be fast."I approached the books and began to read the text on them."Let me help you a bit", the bird told me and then flew close to the books. "Among these books, there is a book named Heart of Crystals. Find that book, it will guide you."" Thanks for telling me that but it would be great if you had told me about how to solve these puzzles", I told it and continued solving the puzzle."Humph... Ungrateful. You should be thankful that I told you the name. Now I won't help you anymore", it flew to the table near the bookshelf.I think I had angered it.I scratched my head in confusion, "What is this? I can't understand it at all?"I touched one of the books and began to focus on it. There was a mixture of scripts written there. It was like, 1325 Huã For Xiūxi."Wait a second...", an idea clicked in my mind."If we take the name in English then 1 is for A, 3 for C, 2 for B, and 5 for E. Then it becomes ACBE but it is not a
Mia got up from the ground with blood flowing out of the wound on her forehead and rushed toward the spirits. One after another she killed many of them."Mia, don't push yourself hard. Stop it", Hao who was inside the shield protecting the stone shouted.She ignored him and kept fighting. The spirits were still in a great amount. A giant spirit came and hit her. She fell to the ground and threw up blood."Ahhh... ", she was in pain.All the spirits rushed towards her and she was covered by them. She tried her best to escape them but was heavily injured.She growled in anger and pain, "Now, you left no other choice."Rays of light came out from the group of spirits that had surrounded Mia and they all fell apart. There was a huge beam of light and when the light disappeared Mia was in the air. Wearing Red armor, her hair was tied up in a ponytail and different elements were flowing around her."Miaaaa... Why must you harm yourself...", Hao screamed.The spirits slowly got up and were a
I stared at her in surprise, "Then do you mean I am the real one?"There was a sad expression on her face, "Hmmm, you are the one. Because of me, the situation had become worse and now I don't want to repeat the same mistake. Yes, it is you, Mia's true mate and the one who will aid her to end her curse."Happiness rushed inside me at her words. When I looked at mom something was bothering me. She smiled at me but there was sadness in her smile.I grabbed her hands, "Mom, why do I feel that you are sad at the fact of me being her mate?"She looked at me with fear in her eyes that I could not understand, "I am not sad because you are her mate. I am just regretting the decision that I made.""Mom, what decision?", I asked her confused."Lin, If I hadn't hidden your mark years ago then the situation would be much better. Just because of that selfish decision of mine not only you but little Mia is suffering a lot. Even though I am guiding her but still I can't help her to live happily", te
Lin's POVI don't know why but something is wrong with Mia. My whole body was trembling. My face was covered in sweat and tears flowed down my eyes."Ugh...", I grabbed my chest.There was a sharp pain in my heart and then a sharp pain started in my neck as well. A strong flash of light came out from the left side of my neck, "Ahhh...."I opened my eyes and found myself in a strange place. I was laying beside a lake. I got up from the ground and looked around but there was no one. There was a familiar tree near the lake."The healing tree ...", I remembered.I went close to it and touched it."Not only this tree but the whole place is a healing place", a familiar voice came.I turned around to see the speaker. I freeze at the sight of the person.I took a step forward, "M...mo...m..."I ran and hugged her, "Mom, where were you? Why did you leave me like this?"She hugged me back tightly, "My dear Li Li. How have you been?""*sob*How could be a motherless child?", I was unable to stop
Ask your heart", he glanced at me.I got up from the chair angrily, "Grandpa Wen, please tell me. Don't put me in further confusion."He looked at Mia, "She is awake."I glanced at Mia. She seemed to be waking up. I went to her."Mia", I grabbed her hand.Mia moved her head a little and then slowly opened her eyes," Umm...*cough*"Grandpa Wen brought water, "Here give it to her."I helped her to sit. After drinking water, she looked around and a strange laugh escaped her.She stared at her hands, "Fate is really cruel.""Mia, what do you mean? Aren't you happy that you are fine?", I asked her with curiosity.She lift her head to look at me since she was resting her back on my chest. Our eyes met. There was very little distance between our faces. I could feel her breath. My heart stopped beating at the sight of those beautiful chocolate eyes. I forgot to breathe. "*cough*", Grandpa Wen's cough brought me back to my senses.Mia was still staring into my eyes. She smiled, "I thought I w
"Chirp....chirp...", I opened my eyes and found myself in the backyard of Mia's house. There was a peaceful environment. The birds were chirping around. Grandpa Wen was standing next to me."How dare you?", there was a scream from a woman. I looked at Grandpa Wen, "Who's voice is that?"He looked at me, "Stay quiet and wait."I stood there silently looking at the door that most probably led to the kitchen."Mom, I am sorry...ahh...ahh", there was a little girl's cry.Then a woman appeared holding the arm of a little girl who was crying. That girl..."Mia...", the name escaped my mouth. Grandpa Wen smiled, "I knew you would recognize her. Don't try to go to her because it is just a glimpse of the past and you can't do anything nor can she see you.""*sob* mom, I... I am....s...s...orrrr...y", she kept on crying and sobbing but that woman ignored and dragged her.She dragged her to a tree where the sun was bright and it was a hot place considering the weather of summer. A big metal s
