I stared at her, "Tell me what is it?"She was a bit hesitant and then spoke, "Although Liam is coming to train with you and fight with us but he doesn't know the fact that we are here. He must not know my real identity. You shouldn't behave as if I am Mia. Instead, you have to behave as the most trusted person and the most loyal guard of Princess Chi. I hope you understood?" Her words were a bit surprising and the fact that she wants to hide her identity from her mate."Yes, I did understand your words. But why do you have to hide your identity?", I asked her out of curiosity.Mia was silent."It's okay. Don't say it if it is something that you don't want to", I said with a smile.She looked at me, "It's not that. The thing is that whenever I think about him it feels quite strange. I am doing all this to see his true personality. As the ruler of the Magical Beasts, I can't risk their life with my wrong decisions."This little girl in Infront of me looked so confident with her words t
I rushed to her, "Mia are you alright?"She was standing there still. I took the little animal from her hands and put it near a tree.I held her by both of her shoulders, "Mia speak something. You are making me worried."She looked at me. Her eyes were filled with fear."Lin, something wrong has happened. It shouldn't have happened. How? How can it be possible?" She said while trembling. I couldn't understand her words at all."Mia, what happened? What is it that had made you afraid?", I asked her.Mia removed my hands from her shoulders," Lin, please take this baby deer to its mother. I had to go. I had to do something important."She said that and ran away. I wasn't able to stop her but she made me worried. I took the baby deer from the ground.Mia's POVI ran fastly towards the building of the Conference room. The conference room was on the third floor. I rushed to the second floor where were different magical equipment and tools. I rushed to the huge mirror on the wall. It was t
"Hao", I looked up at Hao, who appeared from nowhere.I withdrew from the hug. "I should be asking you why you open the summoning mirror?", Hao replied angrily."Anyways, you are free now. Remember to fulfill your duties properly from now on", I said to him.I moved my hand in the air and a chocolate bar appeared. Hao happily snatched it. His expressions changed in a blink of an eye from anger to happiness.I stared at him, "What are you hiding now? I can tell there is something you should tell me."He looked at me with his mouth covered with chocolate, "Indeed there is something important but I guess you already know it.""Something I know?", I questioned him. He stared at me and pointed toward Lin, "What about him? You had already found your mate and you seem quite close to him. As much as I know you don't express your feelings too much in front of others. Maybe it's the effect of him being your mate. You seem to recover your memory since you know him."Huh, my memory, "But my mem
Lin's POVI was shocked when Mia hugged me all of a sudden but when she cried I felt heartache. I wanted to vanish all the fears and sorrows from her life. I want to hide her somewhere where she could not meet her fears and sorrows. That little familiar took me for her mate. I wish I really could be her mate. I don't know these feelings but somehow I want them to last forever. The feeling to protect someone, caring for them, and staying by their side. Mia had been gone with her familiar leaving me here. I started walking. Something moved in the bush. I went close to it and saw something like small white cotton candy. When I approached it, it was a small bunny."Hey little buddy, you seemed to be injured. Let me help you."I took it from the ground slowly. I healed its wound. "Little guy, you look like my Mi. Small, cute, and fragile."I smiled at her thought. In the meanwhile, the familiar named Hao came.I put the bunny back and turned towards the familiar. I was extremely happy w
I used my full strength and punched him hard in the face. He went far away due to the punch's force. Liam almost fell but then he balanced himself. His nose was bleeding.When he touched his nose and saw blood on his fingers, he fiercely looked at me.His look made me angrier. I charged toward him once again. The moment I reached his face, he disappeared.I looked around in rage but I could only see Mia standing at a distance. She was staring at me. It felt as if she wants to say something but I couldn't read her expressions since her face was covered with the mask. Only her eyes were visible. Her sight made my anger disappear. I took steps towards her. She was standing there motionless.All of a sudden something came and hit me very hard before I could notice it, "Ahhhh."I fell far away. I slowly got up from the ground. My back was hurting a lot. When I looked up Liam was standing there. I realized that the hit I got was from him.I gritted my teeth in anger. But before I could hit
"But I didn't mean to do something like that although I hate him a lot", I tried to explain myself.She turned around and looked at me, "Alright, if I agree with that then what about your behavior? I told you to transform but you didn't listen to me. I told you that we shouldn't behave as friends in front of him. In front of him, you are my loyal and obedient subordinate.""I am sorry, Mia. But I was controlled. I can tell you he was controlling me."She stared at me, "What do you mean controlled by him? Did he also control you to disobey me?"I remained silent because of her questions. She is right I shouldn't have behaved that way.It is indeed my fault."Mia, you are right that disobeying you in front of him was my fault but he indeed forced me to fight with him. My mind was controlled by him. I don't know how he did that but I felt rage filling me at his sight."Mia sighed deeply, "You better go back."I went towards her and grabbed her hand, "So, you don't believe me?"She looked
"Please, get up. You know better than anyone else that I hate it when elders kneel Infront of me", Mia told Grandpa.Grandpa got up, "Your Highness, you may regret your decision later."Mia was silent.I grabbed her hand, "Mia, what is it that you both are talking about?"She was avoiding my gaze. I looked at Grandpa, he was trembling in fear. But what is it that they are behaving like that??Mia looked at me, "Lin, you told me that you can protect me from anything, right?"I nodded.She smiled wryly, "Can you please protect this pearl for me?"I looked at the Pearl and then back to her, "If it's what you want to, of course, so I can. I will protect it with my life. It seems that it is really important to you."She nodded.I smiled, "Anything important to you is important to me but how I am supposed to protect it and from whom?"She hesitated and then spoke," I will enter it into your body and don't need to worry it will be painless."She was facing difficulty in speaking. I held he
There was a flash of light and Hao appeared."Mia."Hao came close to me. I was unable to speak a single word. He grabbed my hand and started to feel my pulse."You are in great danger. Don't worry I will do something. Now close your eyes and try to connect."I closed my eyes and then Hao performed magic to connect our souls. Hao transferred a part of his spiritual power to me. After a while, I felt a bit comfortable."Mia, you should be grateful to me. You see I almost died for saving you", Hao said while laying next to me.I looked at him and stroked his head. He felt comfortable. I smiled at his sight, "Don't worry I will remember it and give you a lot of chocolates."He happily looked at me, "Great, my hard work was worth it. Mia don't be hard on yourself.""What do you mean?", I asked him confused by his words. "You know better than me what my words mean. Ask Lin to give you the golden blood. After all, you gave him the Pearl for his protection", Hao said."Enough. Don't let any
"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
